The Judgment of Lord Justice Ward 1.Doctor Palmer

1. Doctor Palmer

She argued:-

"That The Family has evolved far beyond David Berg's sexual fantasies and questionable preoccupations and have successfully established a healthy society with a highly elaborated code of ethics which, if properly understood, would not stretch the tolerance of the public."

In her evidence she told me:-

"This is an experimental society. I don't think it is just pretended reform, but a predictable pattern seen in other new religious movements where sexual deviancy changes as they have children and seek to find a place in society. There is a definite pattern to be more conventional."

Cross-examined she said that it had put aside its deviant sexual practices and:-

"It is at a critical point in its history, changing shape and becoming more accommodating to society."
