I realized I am wrong.
Take a look at this link:

Now, before any of you get the idea I trolled around on the SRF website and dug up that page about Steve Sanchez surreptitiously, guess again. You can get to that page if you Google this:
Steve Sanchez did report potentially illegal activities to the proper authorities and was considered lucid and reliable enough that investigations were conducted. That's not an issue here.
Because of the allegations made by Steve Sanchez, there WAS probable cause for investigation of Spiritual Rights Foundation in several instances. The only thing the Spiritual Rights Foundation is appalled at was they WERE investigated.
In many of those investigations, the Spiritual Rights Foundation was allowed the opportunity to correct the infractions - like a fix-it ticket. In at least one case (a truancy issue) the school board was not given discovery (by SRF) and as a result, the District Attorney was unable to prosecute.
Instead of owning up to their issues, the Spiritual Rights Foundation decided to kill the messenger. This statement regarding Steve Sanchez was linked to the front page of the official SRF website.
They just pushed this insult to Steve Sanchez front and center to the back page of their web site but forgot about the Google effect. Google indexes everything on the web. That's Google's power, beauty and drawback. A drawback, that is, if you have something on your web site that is potentially embarrassing.
Making personal attacks on a man without foundation is a tactic commonly used at the Spiritual Rights Foundation. They believe Steve Sanchez is mentally ill because he dares to speak truthfully of his experiences at the the cult. And they will call him mentally ill because he dared to print a book about that experience.
I wrote about that earlier in "Back in the USSR". Steve Sanchez isn't the only ex-member of the Spiritual Rights Foundation who's integrity was attacked in false and defamatory ways. Many other people were threatened with assaults on their good name and even with the loss their children or family.
Before you consider attending an organization like the Spiritual Rights Foundation, you might ask yourself some questions. And ask around for the answers.
Just make sure you ask the right questions so you won't wind up on their web site.
