What you are saying Vera City conflicts somewhat with what was previously being said on this forum about Ponomauloa School with claims being made that it was open to the public children and that there was no long chanting sessions and the focus was not on religion.
Actually the book Who Are You had been published by this time, there were at least two versions of it before the common edition which was published in 1984. With all the currently available facts considered it would seem that Tusta Krishna das wrote at least half the book and Siddha merely took full credit for it later.
You refer to Mike and Carol Gababrd as being regular people once, which of course they would have been, but it is in the Dear Fanatic newspaper article that Devrhuti dasi was a member of Self-Realisation Fellowship - so if she was ever not in a cult it was a long time ago.
A great exodus of people may well have left after this, but the persons mentioned in the documents are still there.
As for waiting for one of those rotten apples to fall from the tree many of the people who could (and should) have a long time ago exposed Siddha after leaving him are with other organisations now. There is going to be an expose on former followers and their new links throughout the Viashnava community [
