We were promised love, strength, unity, hope and family, in a Christian environment, when we found none in the world.
  What we got was a highly abusive, dysfunctional family. Before you consider sending a loved one to I'SOT, read their history and the stories of some of who have “escaped”. We have united to expose their abusive evil and mean-spirited elitism to the World for what it is.   Each of the personal stories is the responsibility of the people who chose to participate. Their stories are based on their personal experiences and their opinion of I’SOT. The information included about the “elders” of I’SOT is based upon first-hand personal experiences, eye-witness accounts and legal documents on file with the State of California.   What we DEMAND from I'SOT is:

•   an opportunity for every victim to speak their pain in an atmosphere of non-defensive and supportive repentance
•  a firm ~no-nonsense~ apology that includes sincere efforts at making amends
• clearly defined and verifiable protocols to ensure that future oppression will be rooted out and stopped every time it appears...

  While these three goals represent THE "bottom line" for some ex-ISOTs, some people would prefer (for legitimate reasons and directly related to the massive offenses against them) justice and retribution, while others have still more modest goals.
