If they really are writing stuff like that it is beyond disturbing and Social Services should be brought in immediately--do not wait. If it is only a joke--then it is really sick. Oh my God. Dejavu yet much worse. This is serious so if it is a joke someone better speak up.

Are you serious? He is referring to Nephilum?

Exactly. If anyone is teaching this to the young--they know damn well what they are doing in my book. Everyone on this forum or just reading should be hearing loud alarm bells and I am not kidding we need confirmation as to if that post was real or a lie directed at us on the forum. I want to know if this truly is a yasp song. I am serious folks. I do not believe I am overreacting. The desensitizing to violence has been percolating for over 30 years and is a very serious matter. Young people today are not the young people of the 70's and 80's--power of suggestion is very real. I think Squeaky Fromm would agree.

If the women who were girls and men who were boys would come forward then perhaps there would be justice.

Hear! Hear! So glad you have joined us cult-free. You still have many years to make a real life. It is very sad what happened to the children of our generation--under our noses. And it was much worse than a lot of us experienced. As you describe coming of age under the rule of G and M--it just makes me sick.

You should have a verse in there "Tell Kevin" as was posted earlier on this bird concerning reepicheep being called out by a G-man minion.

Yes, cultfree, I can 100% corroborate what you said about the Rick & Lorena situation. After reports that they were carrying on an inappropriate liaison, Lorena was sent to Shiloh for what lasted I think only a year or so, and then after summer camp that year Rick loaded up her car on one of the trucks they used to transport amphitheater show equipment from LA to Iowa, and brought Lorena back to LA. This was all a decision Rick made unilaterally. He did not ask anyone if this was ok, in fact, some of the leadership that was involved in Lorena's removal from LA in the first place did not even know that Lorena was back living there for quite some time. Not only was she back, but Rick had moved her into his and Maria's GUESTHOUSE. It wasn't long after this that Lorena was hired as his assistant, and I think we all knew what to expect after that.

There were many people who expressed concern about the Rick & Lorena situation, myself included, and we were all told to mind our own business. It was as if everyone knew what was going on, but we were supposed to turn a blind eye and pretend that everything was kosher. What is even more infuriating is that when the affair finally did come to light, everything was done to protect Rick & Lorena and to demonize Maria. Leadership insinuated (and not even subtly) that it was somehow Maria's lack as a wife that drove Rick into Lorena's arms. I can tell you with total confidence that Rick was a SHIT husband to Maria, and she put up with a lot of mistreatment from him for a lot of years.

To add insult to injury, when the affair became public, G&M or whoever they sent to clean up Rick's mess had a meeting with a group of those who had been close to Rick and were a part of his little entourage, to tell them that yes, Rick & Lorena had been carrying on a relationship but that it was NEVER SEXUAL. I think we can all agree that was a big fat lie. You would have to be completely naive to believe that one. In fact, I have it on good authority that there was proof to the contrary. It was also said that G&M knew about the affair for years, and let it play out. Real fucking classy.

What is so messed up about the whole thing is that even after these multiple affairs and countless instances of sexual misconduct, Rick is only given what basically amounts to a "time out" and then is not only reinstated into leadership, but he and his new bride are actually put in charge of the entire Fellowship, along with those two other aforementioned couples. Anyone who questioned this, or anything Rick did, was immediately sidelined.

Putting someone who has a history of sexual misconduct with very young women back into a leadership position again and again is gross negligence on the part of Gary & Marilyn. Everyone knows that sexual predators who are in positions of authority do massive amounts of damage, using their power and position to coerce, manipulate and intimidate.

So many of us shook our heads in disbelief over these happenings, but like we did with so many things, we just learned to accept it and not dare question it. Thanks, brainwashing!

Gross negligence and more can be found in the reports of abuse about the church ministries, Rick, and any number of other people involved in supporting, facilitating and protecting Rick. With the underage sexual assaults, failure to report by a mandatory reporter (clergy) is a felony. Where churches such as TLWF try to hide behind the pastor/penitent privilege -- if the information came from the victim, there would be NO application of the privilege for the perpetrator. I would estimate dozens of felony violations have occurred and will continue to occur until someone puts a stop to it.

Gross Negligence:

Gross negligence results from conduct that is substantially more divergent than ordinary negligence. It involves:

Conduct that is a significant leap from the guidelines by which a competent and reasonable person would act
A serious or high degree of negligence
Behavior which was out of line from a normal, reasonable person
Typical care is not taken
An absence of any kind of diligence
No care is taken whatsoever
Gross negligence is considered so serious as it illustrates a thoughtless disregard for others. To return to the amusement park example, if an operator allows passengers on a ride that they know is broken, the operator may be prosecuted for gross negligence.

Courts have characterized gross negligence as a reckless and unmistakable abuse of duty to the legal rights of others. Under a wrongful death statute, a display of gross negligence is mandatory in order to qualify for punitive damages. For example, if a driver of a car was driving at 100 mph and passengers asked them to slow down, but the driver kept the same speed or sped up which resulted in a crash, the driver could be found grossly negligent.

=============
Willful, Wanton, Reckless Conduct:

Falling directly below actual intent in the misconduct hierarchy is willful, wanton, reckless conduct. Willful misconduct is considered further along the misconduct spectrum as:

Intentionally or voluntarily committed
Reckless or intentional
When trying to prove willful, wanton, reckless behavior, a prosecutor will normally try to provide evidence that significant harm was the result of the defendant's actions.

There are two main differences between negligence and willful, wanton, reckless conduct:

The defendant intentionally or knowingly disregarded all risk
The risk would most likely result in substantial harm

It is ironic that a movement that branded itself as 'The Walk', was nothing more than a convincing sales pitch made up out of false doctrine. Furthermore, while 'a walk' with our CREATOR should have be emphasized and enabled, instead, a culture of dependency was created in order to enrich the few at the expense of the many.
