A very dear girlfriend decided to send a couple lines of email to my friend requesting he meet with me. We hoped it would bypass the cult's screens that they put on my friend's emails. Screens usually catch key words and phrases as well as the sender's address. So my girlfriend offered to send a short email for me in hopes of it reaching my friend and seeing if he'd finally respond.
My request was simple to reconcile at long last after almost six years of estrangement and to meet in a public spot of his choosing one on one. My husband had wanted to perhaps meet with him first and then me, but the main goal was for us to meet since there is so much mess related to this issue and it is between us. Anyway.........
So she sent the email and that same day he responded. He still was silent when he called but he stayed on the phone for a long time so that I could speak to him and I did get a chance to say a few words before I could not speak for sorrow. He called back later that day and for two more days then silence. THis was last week. I was encouraged but felt something was off.
When he did not call yesterday I got worried since Mondays are his favorite day to make contact. But that evening my husband got a call from a lawyer and the lawyer said that my friend and his church men would meet with my husband. My husband saw the trap already. My friend will not speak with others there and they know this and so this was to be a meeting in name only. Nothing real would be said and they would use this meeting against me and to confuse my husband, with lies. So my husband said he wanted them to meet with me, but they declined and so he requested just a one on one meeting. This is still up in the air at this moment. But we both know the possibility is sliim and that my friend is so intimidated that we may never get him to speak honestly with my husband. He'd be lying for Jesus and in cult thinking this is okay.
So my request is one that my friend would meet with my husband, two that this whole mess would show my friend how corrupt his church is, and three that he would meet with me. Of course I pray that he and all his leaders associates would repent and confess the sins of lying and slander. I also hope that my husband would actually become a Christian inspite of all of this.
Thankyou all ahead of time--Rose
Despite this shameful set of circumstances I will never stop praying for my dear deceived and confused friend. May God have mercy on these men.
