Is the TRI an "off-centered" group? Yes. Nevertheless, their gripes should have been brought directly to TFI leaders, and especially to Ole Anthony. This was never done. Griping to a small number of former TFI leaders at a chance meeting does not fit the muster of Matthew 18.
How many leaders of Trinity Foundation do you think there are?
And, I think it is tacky to characterize Wendy and me blowing the whistle on Trinity Foundation as "griping." Was Sherron Watkins "griping" when she wrote that memo to Ken Lay at Enron? You and Jackie say you are impartial, but when you say things with this kind of spin it looks like you have an agenda.
Trinity fits all of Lifton's criteria for a cult (or Rick Ross's, or Steven Hassan's, or whoever's you want to use), and it trivializes what Wendy and I are saying to paint it as us just having "gripes." In fact, it plays into Trinity's hands for you to do so.
