just saw your post about mercy ministries, and i must differ .. strongly. mercy ministries has a dark side and it would behoove each individual to do a thorough search about the dangers of this program. from recovered memory therapy to cult like practices fitting the BITE model to a ‘t’, to ripping families apart. how do i know this? it happened to us. our daughter ‘graduated’ from the program after 8 months of residential ‘treatment.’ she has excised us out of her life after accusing us of atrocities that never happened. she’s not the only one who has done this to their family, many many girls have. and eerily, the stories are similar and many exactly the same to the most minute detail. we don’t know if we’ll ever see our daughter again. shattered doesn’t come close to describing what we feel. it’s a nightmare. the fact that our precious daughter was so dramatically led and changed is heartbreaking.
we’re part of a growing number of parents who are literally going through hell on earth due to mercy ministries vile program.
we donated thousands to this program only to have our daughter ripped from our lives.
know ... that just because it looks promising, doesn’t mean that it is promising.
** This afternoon [White House press secretary] Jay Carney expanded on the president’s theological musings, by repeating the truism, “Well, I believe the phrase from the Bible is, ‘God helps those who help themselves.’”**
dear Lord - there aren’t words to describe how absolutely awful this is on sooooo many levels.
the arrogance of both individuals is amazing.
on the fashion front, the ‘female’ scowls while holding up her pants near the crotch - looks like the gang bangers holding up their pants. the material, style, etc. ugh.
The article didn’t offer a reason for the visit, other than a trip to the Taj Mahal. Hm. I suppose it’s yet another vacation. I’m looking forward to his final vacation .. OUT of OUR HOUSE. Forever.
