This email is a little unusual in that we regularly send only the newsletters out; however, with the current situation and challenges we felt it necessary to provide you with information and an opportunity to join us in solving our current challenge.
Here is the situation, the costs of implementing the new discussion board software and the new home page blog upgrades have run considerably higher than originally anticipated and frankly we’re financially in a temporary tight spot. As a result, our current bank balance is about one-third of what it should be and by the time we implement all the security that is needed for these new upgrades our cost will be about three times what we originally anticipated for these vital security and service expansion projects.
We invite your generous help and support to remain financially viable and to continue to deliver the free survivor resources, healing, and support that so many rely on. We sincerely thank all those that have donated in our 2007 website upgrade fund raising drives—including a recent anonymous donor that sent a large donation to support our upgraded vital mission.
We are sincerely grateful for all your past generosity and invite you in this special situation to help support this critical and great work. Please use the following link for simple and anonymous ways to quickly and easily donate to FACTNet today: http://www.factnet.org/donation.htm
Sincerely,
The FACTNet Volunteers, Staff & Management

“Twenty five years of helping cult victims has thoroughly convinced me that the wrongdoing by destructive cults will stop ONLY when ALL profit is removed from that wrongdoing by holding the cult’s top executives PERSONALLY accountable before the law! If you or a loved one has been harmed by a cult, get a lawyer and sue the cult’s senior executives today. They are ultimately responsible for the harm that the cult has caused you and your loved ones. By getting full legal and financial restitution from the cult’s ill gotten profits you will not only help make your life whole again you will also do the most effective thing possible to prevent the cult from doing the same harm to others. Be encouraged, there are now many legal precedents established on cult abuse and mind control. Destructive cults have already paid former cult members hundreds of millions of dollars either though secret out-of-court settlements, pre-trial settlements or through enforced court judgments. Stop letting your former cult keep victimizing you. Use the law to go get your life made whole again and to help stop the wrongdoing, I did.”
