In the first twig I was involved with, there was a young lady, still in high school, who was missing an arm. If I recall correctly, she was born like that. We'll call her Suzie for the sake of simplicity. She was initially attracted to The Way by fellow classmates who told her that complete healing was possible. Now, there was always this undercurrent of "believing" for Suzie's arm to be completely restored. People spoke in tongues for Suzie's arm, cast out "doubting spirits", ministered to her, counceled her on "the law of believing", encouraged her to become more involved in the twig workings. She became more and more frustrated and depressed as time elapsed because her "healing" just wasn't happening. Then, her father caught wind of what was going on and was, to put it mildly, furious. He had spent years teaching her to accept her current condition and to adjust to the realities of life as a disabled person. He forbade her to continue associating with The Way and I never heard from her again. When I look back on my life and reflect on things I'm ashamed of, I have to tell you that this is way up there toward the top of the list. To all the Suzies who crossed my path in The Way, I offer you this humble apology. I surely never meant to hurt anyone.

We must look at his unclear actions in light of his clear actions. . . . He certainly could have started a business on a whim. I'm sure it happens all the time. Most fail. Some don't. For every successful con how many fail?

Looks like an interesting book, Rocky. Been browsing it in the Open & Read Me bit.

I can't see the tweet, but I can see the comments beneath. That's not him. And he hates the name Loy - only ever called himself Craig, and only ever gave his name as L.Craig Martindale. Somebody posted under a similar name many years ago. On Facebook, was it? Or somewhere else? That was fake, too. Don't know if this would be some "follower" trying to put things right by apologising in LCM's stead, or a "hater" trying to rile people up, or whatever. I am damn sure LCM knows about the Cafe and knows he could apologise here. If he were prepared to take the flak and hurt and general jumping on that that would entail. Yeah, right.
