I was watching, again, that movie "Les Miserables" with Liam Neeson and Uma Thurman and Geoffrey Rush. I was thinking how twisted and sick the family was and is and wondering how anyone could defend it just because people are trained to act sweet and sincere. There are so many people like this girl, and adults too, that are so vulnerable, and I would love to see the family exposed for all the horror wreaked by perverted pedophile leadership. I would love to see Peter and Maria behind bars getting the "royal" treatment there. The kind you get when you are a pedophile in the pen. Then maybe lower membership could get out and learn how to think for themselves, break away from the fear and conviction that somehow this twisted, greedy leadership is not of any kind of good, but very evil. And I say this from a non-religious viewpoint. In that movie, I think of the point where Liams character takes the "whore" who turns herself out in desperation for survival and to support her child, and instead of screwing her, because he loves God, he kisses her on the forehead and takes care of her. He tells her she is beautiful in the eyes of God after she is rescued from her lifestyle. In the family, it is like "Through the looking glass", everything is backwards and screwed up with heads rolling at the whim of the red queen. I am not religious, but evil is the only way I can describe the family's core nature. I am so sorry what happened to this girl. Maybe one day she will get out. It is not her fault. I think people have to first know they have choices (not feel like they are going against god to leave the family, which may be realized only some time AFTER leaving), then learn to exercise them. THEN you have choices. My hope is that she will get OUT. I wish she would contact RAINN at 1-800-656-HOPE. (This is a 24/7 toll free number for rape abuse and incest, nationwide.) That could be a first step. Anyone out there in cyberworld who can relate, PLEASE call until you get through to someone...
