Fear is a major factor in keeping people in UBF, fear of parents and fear of an uncertain future once we leave.

Thanks for your explanations, too. From these I conclude the reasons for staying and defending of 2nd gens and of shepherds were not that much different.

http://www.myconclusion.com probably doesn't represent the views of all "Children of God" 2ndgens. The views of a few vocal 2ndgens on the Internet probably doesn't represent all UBF 2ndgens either.

Certainly not. I don't want to give that impression. There also exists http://www.movingon.org as a critical website of CoG 2nd gens. Unfortunately, many of the 2nd gens abused by CoG became atheists. I can understand this, after their horrible experience. But there are also similar cases in UBF where the strange experience in UBF made 2nd gens doubt Christian beliefs generally and drove them towards atheism.
