Looks nicer from the outside... sugardawg July 12 2006, 19:23:41 UTC
Wow, glad I googled it:

http://www.focolare.net/insight.html

Focolare was found by a Chiara! How interesting.
Anyways, seems like people feel like they lose themselves after awhile and while some like the effect of following the gospel and following "directives" others broke out and even started this website to consel others who are interested/ were once part of it- an extract...scary...:

To start with the first. When I got to know the focolare I was still very young and in a vulnerable situation. I was alone and experienced some problems in my life. Focolare people were very friendly to me and has was receptive for their friendliness. The focolare did not appear to be a threat to my personality. After some time I got more involved and it was a thrill to work with them. Every time I did something right I was rewarded and I was told if I did something wrong. Life became very simple. I remember that I tried to convince myself like this: “If Chiara has thought about the right way of living so much and she tells us how to do it, what is the use of me trying to find out all for myself what is right for me? If I live like Chiara I will be sure to go to Heaven.”. So I stopped asking questions to myself and to the focolare. I now regret that focolare people encouraged me to live like this, without any critical reflection.

ew... scary...

there are some things about their style that scares me. hahaha... but overall, the people i meet are really nice. they would go out of their way to help, without expecting anythign in return. which works for me, hahaha... until they expect something in return.

but yah.. there are aspects that i dun understand about them and don't seek to.

i'm really uncomfortable when people there ask what chiara's name is. i think some people think i very "da dan" (daring) to name my daughter like their leader. watever.
