NewDayNews.com is a website for former members of The Family and its primary is former first generation members.
The website was originally started by Geraldo Lourenco (aka Barnabus or Barney) when he was a Fellow Member of The Family. The concept for the site was to allow open debate regarding The Family on the site's "General Board" (later renamed "Crossfire").
Lourenco and his home were officially excommunicated by The Family for "negative comments about the Family, its leadership doctrine and policy" on the website. Lourenco was not aware that his membership status had been revoked until reading about it in a Family publication (

Lourenco eventually left the website, and is no longer active online.
The site is currently privately funded and operated by a group of mostly first generation former members.
