well i talked to her and then just read what you said afterward and it was exactly how you said it. i told her what I had found out and at first she said I was mistaken and pretty much word for word reacted the way you said she would.even saying that we were "fighting" because of "devil spirits" in the middle of talking she even said that if she had to she would never talk to me again so that we would never talk about it anymore. she got really angry with me. but I assured her that I wasn't trying to attack her or make it seem like i was right and she was wrong but i told her that I loved her and she is one of my best friends and I am sharing it with her because i love her and don't want her to be mislead. The conversation ended with us agreeing that we would look at the word together and discuss it together. hopefully this works out. it really broke my heart because I didn't think she would be as angry with me as she was or that she would say she would never talk to me again. thank you guys for all your help. really, it means a lot and it makes me hopeful.

thank you guys for all your advice, it really is helping me! thank you for the prayers as well :) I think I am going to talk to her next time I see her. but i am not going to make a big deal about it but just tell her that when she told me about paul weirwille last week I had never heard of him so I decided to look him up and see what he was all about (which is true, that is how i found out about everything) and then tell her what I found ....but I won't mention the word "cult" or use a "i am right, you are wrong" attitude. But just tell her I am concerned about her and thought she should know this information since she is involved with it. and if we keep talking about it then we keep talking about it. I will tell her I know that she desires the truth and so do i and that I would love to look at the Word together with her and discuss it as sisters in Christ. and if for some reason she gets angry with me then I will just continue to love her and be her friend and hopefully she will realize on her own. man i am nervous.

the only reason i would think that her twig influenced her on the abortion is because she was never a person that would have an abortion. so that is why it would be odd and heartbreaking. but i will not accuse her twig doing that unless she mentions it. i guess i will just present her with the information i found and tell her that i am praying for her and that if it is the truth she is seeking God will reveal it to her. and i pray that he does open her eyes. I have come to realize too in the past couple of days that I really need to stop thinking that I can fix this problem. Since I found out I have just had this burden on my shoulders but I really shouldn't....God has to move in her heart for her to realize. I can't do it all myself. So i will just be there loving her and helping her anyway i can.

oh yes i wasn't going to associate her fellowship with her abortion or talk to her about it unless she mentioned it. that is they other hard thing too, cause she really likes the people in her fellowship and i don't think they are bad people either. and i want to make sure that i don't make her think i think they are evil people or something cause i don't

yeah she calls them home fellowships, but she has this magazine and her group and others in the area are in it and it says "The Twigs". So i guess they still refer them to that. this is very sad to me. i really hope she didn't get an abortion but i feel she has. thanks for the information. i am pretty nervous about talking to her about everything...i know she will be angry with me. I am just making sure that what I am going to say won't be attacking and she won't think I am against her but for her. is there anything else i should tell her?

thank you for that! so since she is part of a twig that means she is part of the way? i also had a question that you may help me with.....my roommate (the same one i have been talking about) found out she was pregnant in july by her x-boyfriend, since she first told me she was pregnant she had never mentioned it again and whenever i mentioned the baby she would always say "it's not a baby yet" finally i asked her why she kept saying that and if it was because she didn't want the baby. she didn't answer me and just looked angry. since then (that was about a month ago) she still has never mentioned it and she just doesn't seem like she is pregnant anymore. she works out at a gym everyday and i don't know.....would her twig tell her to have an abortion? do they condone that?

she has been in it for maybe a little over a year. i think she is in a twig.....if that makes in sense. of course i am not going to attack her about it, but just present her with information of paul weirwille and the way, tell her i am concerned about her and that i don't want her to be misled. and yes we have been best friends for a long time, since elementary school.

So, I just realized that my roommate and best friend is part of the way or one of its splinter groups and I have been researching everything and preparing myself and I am going to talk to her about it. i was just wondering if y'all had any advice on what I should say or shouldn't say or just anything y'all would think would be helpfull. thanks! ~steph
