To Archangel

OK, I think I know where you are coming from. If it's true that you've recently left as you stated, then it would make sense that you are freaking out that people are happily reading TF publications.

I know when I first left I stuffed all my letters in a box and put them out in the garage. I took everything away that smelled of David Berg, the name was never breathed in our house, it was as if it never happened. We basically hid from our memories for about 6 years until it dawned on me one day that I could not run from my past, that it kept meeting me everywhere I turned around. That's when I went to the net looking for other exmembers to communicate with. Who else would understand my problems? Well, I was really the main figure in my little family that wanted to talk so much with exmembers - everyone else was pretty much done with it and the kids would often laugh at me and my sitting at the computer all the time.

Then we started projects to help other exmembers process their time in TF and also to combat the lies TF was saying, how they were trying to change their history. That was the whole point of why I wrote my story, I didn't want them to whitewash the past. I worry about my grandchildren that are growing up reading LWG!!! Some of these kids never read the Berg letters that we did, they don't know what was going on and they need to know if they are going to promote Maria and her kingdom. Sometimes they wake up when they are presented with the awful truth. Even still, I try not to get too involved in the research for too long because it is draining and emotionally upsetting. You know what I mean.
