Welcome to xFamily.org, a collaboratively edited encyclopedia about The Family/Children of God cult.

Spotlight: River Phoenix UPDATED New Articles — Most recently created articles Featured Requests

The position of xFamily.org is neither for nor against The Family, as it is a collaborative work aimed at supporting contributions from diverse individuals. Individuals contributing to this project might have taken up a favorable or unfavorable position on The Family but through peer review we maintain objectivity. If you have a factual correction to make, feel free to contact us. While we may not agree with the facts as you see them, we will take your suggestion into consideration and present the information here as fairly as we are able.
