DISCLAIMER: Publications by The Family are archived here for educational purposes. The content is occasionally sexually explicit, offensive or promotive of criminal acts and we collect them to document their existence and wording but do not condone the points of view or activities. Original spelling, grammar, and style have been preserved where possible.

The reboot documents were a series of documents published internally by the Family International during May and June 2010. These documents outlined numerous and, in many cases, dramatic changes to the organizational structure, rules, lifestyle, and beliefs of the cult.

Some of the reboot documents are not yet available to xFamily.org, but are expected to be added here in the near future.
