Hi Doglover,
Thanks for the update - although my question may have been a bit off topic.
That seemed pretty harsh, her abandonning her child. She had told me that they were actually court ordered to not having any contact with him except for a few occasions until his 18th birthday. That was solely based on the fact that they were in the Way, and that the Way was a cult. Her ex was trying to protect their son.
On the flip side, I am pretty sure the Way told her to not worry about it, since her ex was supposedly out to lunch, since he didn't want any part of the "Truth." And unfortunately, some folks just have to be "put out" of our lives. The Way was trying to protect Sally and the Word moving in the Way, by this explanation of what the Word says on the situation. Weird.
I think it is all very manipulative and a real shame. I never did get that part in the Word about mothers will be against children, and fathers against sons, etc. It seems like tremendous division in the name of unity.
Anyway, it seems like that could be another post to put under the old thread about how the "Way ruined relationships." Very sad. :(
