It is a pit made of quicksand!

It sucks the life out of those around it and in it. Hope it gets suctioned from every possible direction, and sites are posted where families that want to go for help and don't have outside relatives to go to, in case of a mass exodus, can go. My wish is that as many as possible people get OUT. To any family that might be reading: If you want to be a missionary, you don't need the family to do it! Then you don't need to be ashamed of all the bizarre revelations and family past and present and you can do something worthwhile, or you can just enjoy your own lives in freedom as you wish. FREEDOM being the key word here. Why do missionaries tithe to people that live in luxury and have dancers perform for the "King" on his birthday. Pretty sick. Missionaries shouldn't have to tithe, but should receive support for works they don't have to hide or feel embarrassed about. And on your own, you can be free to THINK about what you want to do with your life, without constraints. Have you ever been welcomed to the KING and QUEENS house? Wonder if Maria ever had her teeth fixed? Hey, you can use your tithes to take care of your selves and your kids, dental , medical, education. Think about it. Do you really want your kid to grow up pregnant or with family as a teen, with inferior education, and a family split apart when they get older? If you are in the family and reading this, try not to go into automatic defense mode. Try to THINK. It's not the devil! It is freedom from bondage.
