Igzy, what you wrote was, "Though your father may be a good man in many ways, you may have to deal with the fact that he took part in these sorts of things as well."

I have known my father my whole life. Most likely, you had never even heard of him until reading this thread. Yet, you ask me to reassess my understanding of him based on the wild statements of someone who may have known him for one or two years in the 1970s, and who claims to have known him "from the time he came into the LC in the church in Detroit" (which is not even possible).

Peter is right. Clearly, my interest here is not to discuss the local churches "writ large." If it were not for this thread, I would not even be here. What is most disturbing to me is that Awareness directed his nasty posts toward me personally--in order to tear down one of my parents. Then, you defend that and say that I should be apologetic for something we don't even know is true (while calling me a fanatic), and which appears to be refuted by the original poster of the thread. I did not stumble into a discussion that was already taking place. Awareness wrote the way he did purposefully--because he saw that I, the son of a man he thinks offended him before I was even born, was reading it. That is extremely disturbing.
