Marina

I HEARD you! I understand and know that what she has seen and done is criminal, but she beleives what she has been taught - that in society's eyes it's criminal, but the eyes of God it's OK. Until she denounces that deception, she'll go on being abused and being abusive. Have you heard me?

You say you abborred this kind of stuff. What stuff? The pedopillia or the other nonsensical stuff? If it's the pedophillia, was that because of the abuse you suffered yourself, or was it because you knew it was going on in the Fam and could do little, if anything, about it given your circumstances? And how long did you stay, if you knew? Anyway, I'm glad you are a good mother, and that you got out, and that you would lay down your life protecting your children. My wife is the same.

I did not know that Berg was diddling the little ones until I came to the boards here 2 years ago. Nor did I realize that pedophillia was being promoted. I just didn't see it. I read some of the Davidito book and still didn't see it for what it was. Had it been a DaviditA book, perhaps I would have made the connection. How's that for naive? I heard of two cases while in; one in Canada and one in Mexico, but the brothers got dealt with, one was excommed, I think. When I found the boards, I read the British Court Case (all about Mene) on Sam A's sight and that was it, the deception and the abuse had been exposed. I said my goodbye, right then and there.

I can't help it that Maria went along with, and put up with, all of these things. Her health has sure suffered for it. I think she really believed he was the Endtime Prophet. I did! You did! I don't know why she can't say NO, other than desparate, enabling, dependence of some sort and the deception.

I can trust the Lord that Interpol, and society, and God, will hold her accountable. Maybe you could direct your prayer there - that they catch her, if that's the kind of intervention that it's going to take.

I still feel that God can do anything, anywhere, at anytime, so I'm praying and I'm praying BECAUSE OF THE FACTS. She used to be a loved one too, remember?
