No, about 0.5% of those who have left the church say that.  We've
restored far more people to the ICC than currently speak out against it.  
The rest don't "say" anything either way.

: What needs do you have?

I don't speak for the membership, but I personally would like to see
REVEAL, TOLC, AFF treat ICC members with humanity and respect, and not to
call us "cultists" and insult our faith in Christ by saying it is the
product of "brainwashing".  I'd like them to repudiate those who support
conservatorships and have done violent deprogrammings, and to respect the
civil rights and religious freedoms of religious minorities.  I'd like
REVEAL to let SFCC members worship God in peace and not disrupt our
seminars and to respect our privacy.
