I hadn't read it yet, I've been away, then busy, then dealing with my hubby's illness. Anyway, I checked it out. I think the problem is the heavy religious tone. I look at a lot of it as semantics, or terminology. But to me, the ending is the most important, the more people that are praying for her, the better.
That is what helped me the most when my son was going off the deep end. I mean, seriously off the deep end. He had joined the gangs, had been involved in a drive-by shooting. He was on drugs, meth included, he stole from his grandmother. The police arrested him for armed robbery which was a set up by the gangs because they didn't want him to testify about the drive-by. He thought he was going to be sent down the river - that means to federal prison doing 10 or 20 years. He was only 18. I was devasted, I couldn't sleep at night, I lost 20 lbs. This was going on for about a year and this was the end result. I didn't know what else to do. I prayed desperately and then I enlisted everyone I knew who was a praying person to pray also. I wrote everyone, I asked everyone, I was so desperate. Lo and behold, he went down to the prison chapel and he prayed that if God would get him out of the mess he got himself in, he would change his life around. The next day, they let him out of prison and dropped the charges. That started the process and he slowly changed as he had promised God he would. He is now a music major at a prestigious Christian university and he has done all this on his own without any help from anyone, wtihout a father to come and watch him perform or be proud of his son. It hurts him, but he keeps his promise and that is about as much as a mother could want. So, I agree with Judy, the best we can do is pray for her at this point.
Also, it is very interesting what she said about Berg and the covens, occult, etc. That is a very dark and dangerous thing to play around with. It shows that he was always a dark person with evil (use that word any way you like) machinations.
