While the publishers of Apologetics Index operate from an orthodox, evangelical Christian point of view, the intent of this site is to provide research resources from a variety of perspectives.

Therefore, unlike many other websites that deal with the issues we address, many topics on this site include links to Christian, non-Christian and secular research resources, presented from neutral, pro, and contra viewpoints.

Note: A simple color-coding system is used to help you identify the general background of sites, articles and other listings.

ExFamily.org

An extensive site with several active bulletin boards. Includes a plethora of well-organized research material, including copies of official Children of God publications.

The Family

(Official Site). This link leads to the official website of The Family International. Keep in mind that while The Family's terminology may sound 'Christian,' theologically the movement is considered to be a cult of Christianity. The site includedes a section intended for the media

. The Family considers itself to be the victim of religious persecution. The movement refers to, and makes use of, cult apologists

Moving On

[Note: This site has closed, but you view the material at the Internet Archive.] Huge ex-member site with an active online community. Somewhat chaotic, but there's good stuff in all those nooks and crannies.

MovingOn.org was created for people born and/or raised in the religious group known as The Children of God or The Family. While the majority of participants are people who have left (hence the name Moving On,) second or third generation young people who still live in Family communes are welcome to participate on here as well. Friends and relatives of participants are also welcome here, as are those who were raised in other religious groups.
