Hi Jess H,
I’m sorry to hear you were separated from your kids for so long. I know how troubling that can be although I was never separated from my kids for more than a year. I moved from the West Coast to the East Coast in 1978 to be near my kids and the Lord eventually blessed me for that by having my brother get me a job as a computer programmer. I’ve been doing that since 1980. I knew of a few other coerced marriages that failed in pure disaster.
At TSC I was called Barnabus Woodstock. I got saved at Woodstock and joined the Family at Woodstock. At TSC I was a provisioner staying at Mrs Ingersol’s house in Dallas quite often. I was also in charge of the clean up crew from time to time and I was just getting into the radio ministry with Javan when I left for Kentucky. I was pressured to marry my ex-wife by many of the top leadership of the COG at TSC. I eventually went to Kentucky and my ex-wife was nearby in Michigan. Mother Eve was contstantly giving prophecies over me that it was God’s will that I marry her. My colony shepherd and shepherdess also pressured me. Later Mother Eve told me that they had considered throwing my ex-wfie out of the Family because she had so many problems I was her designated saviour. After the first night with my ex-wife I went to my colony shepherd Watchman (the guy that killed himself) and pleaded with him to let me out of the marriage. He threatened to beat me up if I bailed out and promised that in the future I would have multiple wives. My son talked me into buying the Apartment building as an investment and for a place for his mother as she was being kicked out of her apartment and she was on welfare and had no place to go. My daughter has been living there as well in her own apartment. My son promised that I would never have to speak to his mother that he would handle all the problems. Well that certainly didn’t work out. But it seems that whenever I do things unselfishly God blesses me in some way or another. I like the idea of boundaries. Don’t know how I can implement them at this point but maybe the Lord will show me.
I plan to buy the books you recommended. Thanks.
