I read a thread of Sara Ruth Ashcraft a while ago and he degradation of Jesus then told me I could not really trust what she said. She sounds kind of unhinged. She could well be a distraction. Or she could believe her own tales.

I think that some who endure horrible tragedies have a period of time during which they are angry at God. But He is endlessly patient, loving, and seeks to heal wounded hearts - not reject them. It may be that the beasts who prey on children without sufficient fear of reprisal do so because they expect the emotional scars their victims bear will prevent others from taking them seriously. I got that impression from comments made about a survivor of The Franklin Cover-up (e.g., the inference his expressed emotional wounds were proof he was never harmed).
Both of you are correct and I can see your tender loving hearts. SRA deserves to have a voice regardless. I apologize if I sounded harsh concerning her. But for me personally, reading her story where she misrepresented (for lack of a better word) the name of Jesus was the thing that caused me to stop reading and decide to leave her be. Thank you both for hearing all she has to say and reporting to us. She sounds troubled and confused to me and I have been praying for her. But if her terrible life circumstances have created her current condition I hope she will find rest in the Savior. I hope those who may have harmed her will be brought down. Psalm 42 reminded me of the things and people we are discussing here that do so much evil. They think they are in control but no.

Another level of evil here, even in addition to that which you are indicating, ransomnote, is that the evil ones are not just abusing the bodies and minds of the little ones they harm, but are intent on killing their very souls and dividing them from Our Father forever.
Merciful Father,
You have warned us to beware of those who don’t just kill the body but the soul - which is our opportunity to have eternal life with you, Our Father, and the Lamb. We do understand that these little ones are indeed as shorn lambs and so very vulnerable, which is why they are such targets.
Father, we call for your intercession and preserving of the souls of all who have been in the hands of those whose father is the devil and are sworn to evil.
Those of us whom you have led to the understanding of the true depths of darkness to which these little ones have been subjected, do unite before you in prayer and petitions on their behalf. Have mercy on these little ones, and buffer and protect not only their bodies and minds, but their very souls as well.
Cut free the ones who have physically survived the mistreatment. Heal them, and let them be granted the miracle of being able to hear and perceive the Word, the Emmanuel, and to embrace once more the Everlasting Waters of Life.
Let it be done only by the will and in the name of our Savior, Lord Jesus.
And also in His name we petition that whatever is the concern of Q+, for which he has asked for prayer, will also be in your hands for the exercise of your will and intercession.
Amen
