  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

At long last

For almost six years I feel as I have fought alone with trying to get to my friend in a clear enought manner that he finally understands that I must speak with him and that he clearly hears without cult intervention or should I say "butting in"?

Anyway............Finally my husband has decided to help me. In the past it was "my baby" to fix. But now he finally sees that he is needed to get this thing off the ground.

It took a king sized fight on Saturday, well not really a fight since I wasn't really involved (not that I can't fight, mind you, I know how, believe me). He made a giant relational error Saturday morning. He got discouraged because of the stock market, decided that it was because he was married to me, imagined I was somehow unfaithful to him, wrote and told my pastor this, and came and told me we were through. All in about two hours time. I was blissfully asleep while all of this drama was going on since all of the above is untrue and while I was doing my morning beauty (survival) routine he came and told all he came up with that night. It was 5:00am. I lost it and could not stop crying and yes screaming (not at him just in sorrow and shock). It took him over two hours to calm me down, ugh. Anyway..........I did want to die since my pastor must now think I am this loose woman out having an affair with who know who. I just lost all hope and all trust in my husband and was frankly on the verge of leaving this world. But...........

In the midst of all of that mess, somehow I got hope. I thought maybe all of this was somehow happening for some sort of purpose. What? I did not know. My husband after seeing me loose it figured he was wrong. Duh? He also tried writing a letter of apology to the pastor and explaining he was wacked. I am not sure that will work, but anyway... He then asked me our to breakfast. I reluctantly went with two swollen eyes, just because all that work out got me a bit tired out.

But at the table he proceeded to say that he was going to help me make things right with my friend and approach him for me. Well Halleluijah (sp)!! I had waited for six years for him to finally step up to the plate. He finally was ready!!!!!!!!I was devastated from the rest of that morning but saw that maybe my suffering was necessary to wake up my husband. I don't know.

So he is determined now to help me. I think he finally sees that I am on the verge of going crazy with the stress of this thing and he is needed to step in. He is also on the verge of receiving Christ. So if all of this comes to pass, my pain will be worth it.

So..............Please pray that he gets to my friend and that he and my friend will meet and then they will agree that my friend and I need to meet. There is nothing wrong even in the cult's eyes with my friend speaking with my husband. So..........please pray that my friend gets my husband's call, agrees to meet with him, and then agrees to meet alone with me. Thanks so much.

Thanking you and the Lord ahead of time--Rose

LORD,
We thank you for all thy many blessings. Including those that don't seem to be blessings at the time. Help Rose and her husband to find the right words to win her friend to Christ and deliver them from this cult. We also ask that her husband be more understanding and compassionate (& I ask the same for me & all husbands). Help us LORD to be good and faithful husbands, to be appreciative of what You have given to us in our wives and to show them that we love them always.
In JESUS Name we pray

Thank you brother. I am also hoping this whole experience will be used to bring my husband to Christ since he is on the edge. I am afraid to hope again. But when it all comes to pass you might hear some shouting for joy. Even if you are a thousand or more miles away. So may God use my husband to be the protector that God designed him to be and may he understand that I love him and that all of the friends I have male and female are no threat to him. I must go after the one little sheep who is lost and I am glad he will be coming with this time. In Christ--Rose

Thank you Devoted Daughter. I do hope my husband finds a way to get through to my friend. He has been calling and only getting the answering machine. We don't know if this is because there is no other way to get through, like if they give another number to cult friends or if they are on vacation or something. I do hope that this can be figured out soon while my husband is willing to help. Pray for a way to contact my friend.--Rose
p.s. Again thank you for your very on target prayers.

FATHER,
We come to You this morning beseeching You to move upon Rose's husband's heart. Open it and his ears to thy WORD that he may come to know JESUS as his personal Savior. Help Rose find just the right words to reach him with the Gospel, let not this sheep slip through thy fingers LORD, but let him be claimed by the Blood of thy SON and may he become a vessel fit for the masters use. Let him be a source of great edification for Rose that she will be shouting thy praises so loudly that she'll be heard round the world. Give them thy joy and happiness and let all who meet them know that You dwell within.
In JESUS we pray

Dear Devoted Daughter and Justalittlebitofhelp,

Thanks to both of you for your prayers. Both are encouraging to me. My husband last evening was a bit upset at the whole process and was going to stop. But then he said that he knew me and that he needed to help me have a more "peaceful mind". So he has asked me to write a letter which he says he will write again in his words and send it under his name to my friend who used to be my husband's friend before the church messed all of us up. So this way I will not have any trouble from the church/cult. I told him I was so happy that he finally wanted to defend me after six long years of me trying on my own. I am thinking this will bring he and I closer and may be what God wanted to do all the time. But of course I also believe he wants to reconcile my friend and I, but maybe all of us have had to get to a certain place in our lives. I just hope the time has now come. Thank you both--Rose

Cat, I did not even notice the big birthday icon on your letter, ugh. Happiest of Birthday's. Fifty-nine, huh? When I get there in a couple of years, I'm going to keep that as my official age for the next twenty years. So happy forever 59th birthday. I see myself with all of the other ladies and they say, "Lulu, today I turned 80" and I'll say, "oh really, I'm just 59", there'll be a twinkle in my eyes as my white hair glows in the sun.:wave: Seriously, have a happy birthday. --Rose
