Now that we know, contrary to what Davejc has previously said, that Cherry was also a fully-fledged member of the GOG for at least four years, it casts her famous essay in defence of paedophiles and a plea for compassion towards them in an entirely different light.

What was this mother of four children trying to do, so many years later, by demanding compassion for these predators and a haven of safety where they could practice their perversions in peace?
The piece was written as an apology for the rampant paedophilia encouraged by the COG which was becoming far more widely known and discussed at the time. The piece was published 3 years after the death of Davidito, aka Ricky Rodriguez adopted son of
'Moses' David Berg of the notorious Children of God.[

Ex COG's have a list somewhere on the internet of at least 30 of the second generation--who as children were given no option about involvement, who have since died--- due to the problems they were left with as a result of that involuntary involvement.
When a secret can no longer be kept quiet, those involved begin to rationalise, minimise and blame the victim, thus victimising for the second time---anything to avoid taking responsibility for what they, as adults, were involved in.
Cherryjc may have been under Davejc's thumb, but she was an adult at the time and made the choice to stay with him and go on to live off the proceeds of of their own, private, mini-COG operation----no matter who got hurt in the process.
I empathise with the children of this twisted pair, who will have a hard time coming to terms with their background, if they ever do.
Meanwhile, Davejc is back on line, trying to construct a defence for lying so comprehensively. According to him, the ability to lie is a sign of success--this from a man whose whole life has been a lie and intends to continue the same way.
