SOCKS--- OMgaawd---that is just like the book Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse....,amazing how these prophecy things get used for such leverage...

long gone I remember your posts when I first left the way. I am sorry for you for this.
I working on my master's in speech and language and we have talked about cases like yours where large parts of the mouth/tongue or jaw are removed, tracheotomies and so forth. I understand what you have been through. I also have had cancer. Thankfully nothing for 20 years now...I had all my cervix removed and a small section of my uterus. (before I had kids) (they sewed my pregnancies in with huge extension chord like sutures.
All I can say is have making the most of what you left.
Try watching the show "Dead Like Me" on the sci fi channel if you can get it...it sorta brings a sense of humor to it...well, I guess thats a relative comment, but its on on Tuesday early evening.
On a sadder note, I do have a friend that has had to call Hospice 9 times in 6 years for her mother. Every year I watch her have to explain to her daughter's teacher about her mother -- the oldest living lupus patient with alzheimer's -- and how it effects their family as the mother lives in an adjoining apartment with care givers. I sometimes wonder which way to go is worse...I gues the in the sleep is okay, but it is nice to "make peace" with things if you know your time is coming.

Ok as an outsider-- to me CES is definately nuts. As far as the personal stuff.I don't care to know any more than has been shown,
BUT THAT SAID: this outfit has these prophecies that intertwine the personal and the corporate far too much and its seems apparently difficult to seperate this.
AND These letters should serve as a warning that his is not a place one gets fellowship, but a place one can get crucified because of someone else's active imgination, dreams, prophecies or whatever...
Its very horrible!

I got all those guys on my street
and the YouTube...my teen looks at it pretty regular like.

Its because they just can't handle flying piggies in real life...has to be a prophecy attached!!

I like to write but never seems to e able to find time...sleeping at 9:30 is preferable to staying up (raising kids and getting a bachelor's and working and now working n a Master's i just too much---it would become a should thing),,,but I do do 1 thing faithfully.
I have a notebook I keep with the Christmas decorations. I get it out and on New Years, my husband and I write down the milestones, the thoughts changes, even financial changes...goals reached from the previous year and new goals...and other things....
-
Frankly these prophecies sound and read like drug induced hallucinations....and from what has come from them --clearly there is nothing godly

-
I think it gets down to the intentional outcome of the apology.
Is it to restore...
Is it to just "keep peace"
Is it to sound politcally correct?/??
We went through a lot of this on some thread about expecting TWI to apologize...which they will never do for any of the above reasons.
-
well, having had 1 kid before we left and 1 after, the one before sadly got the cold truth...whether I liked it or not thanks to the fellowship coordinator, so kid number 2 got Santa....at 11 she has figured it out, but loves to play along still.
#1 asked me about it when #2 was a baby...and #1 was great at playing along. One year #1 older brother set up the video camera -- camoflaged and everything -- focus on the fire place xmas eve, to help #2 kid catch him coming down the chimney.

Oh gosh..Sarah and I were just oogling the pictures...then she jumps up and down and say, Mom, I could put my Build A Bear clothes on them....
They are so adorable!!

I live with 2 dyslexics who have a hard time and not just "male-nontalkerness" but genuinely have a hard time finding the right words.
Nonetheless, when they or anyone is still defensive about what they have said in the "offensive" category...the "but" and "if" words come are spoken.
Its not that someone can't be truly sorry, and its not even that they hide in defense (that is nothing more than fear anyhow) but if the point is to be restorative in one's apology, using the "offended you" "hurt your felings" techniques of sayng it doesn't work. The person hurt is NOT restored.
-
yeah--- you just might be her ticket out...that's means more than she'll know for a long time.
-
hmmm - well maybe Karen Ann ought to just start the KACult...sorry..she just seems really out there. frankly so does most of CES...I think I read something about all this in Amos....children of Isreal behaving badly.

Moryan...have you ever read Plato's "The Cave?"
people in TWI are allegorical to people in that story.
-
check out the book...I mentioned
-
you got it!
-
Moryan -- do you wan to take a long time?
do you want to wait?
do you want to see her "delivered?" ---eg. leave the way.
Does this person mean that much to you?
do you think this will be a "normal" relationship?
By now, or tomorrow night at any rate, some one at TWI headquarters will have read this and "communicated" with her family or fellowship leader, they will have figured ou who she is and started to drive a wedge between you and her.
Ask anyone her they are that devious in their means to their end of control.
While she may be wonderful, you are in for the ride of your life so far with her belief system augmented by way doctorine.
Given an ultimatum she will no doubt choose the way sadly...even for her, but they use spiritual blackmail and it is far bigger than you.
You only chance will to appeal to her logic and try different approachs, but like you already said, she will probably explode....they are trained to think that way....many of us here did that too, we became illogical when it cam to our precious way ministry.
I have copies of legal documents (you can find many on the internet and here at GSC), first hand accounts and would be glad to help if it came to the point she would even listen.
The best non-direct attack is with the book "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse" Read it, use its logic...r maybe just ask her to read it if she is willing to hear your side...
-
I dunno Mark, out the abundance of the heart and all that...I think some people still use it to manipulate because they ARE people.
-
Yikes-- I read your documents Capt Crunch....all I can say is how sad. I wouldn't stick up for people who repeadedtly participate in these things.
like I tell my kids:
If it quacks like a duck,
If it has feathers like a duck,
And if it swims like a duck,
And walks like a duck
GUESS WHAT -----Its a DUCK
And as far as I know, the bible still says, you shall know them by their fruit!
Woooo heooo!
