Intresting post Truthseeker. Where do you live, if you don't mind saying? Truthtesty Truthseek says: I prefer not to say where I live on the forum because I have a family member who idolizes Bob Thieme. I am pretty sure that if they saw this forum and identified me from my postings it would be the end of my relationship with them. The involvement of my family in this church h

I had a look at the forum today as I had not logged in for a while. I hadn't heard about the Sodini murders. I don't live in America. I don't think the murders made the main newspapers here.

Thankyou to orange, truthtesty, truthlover, and kcjones for your supportive postings. Except for the support of my husband I have felt very alone in my struggle to escape from the effect of Thieme's teachings.

First of all, I would like to apologize to truthseeky for picking such a similar user name. I did not see your username on the postings until after I had already requested truthseek. I asked to change my username as soon as I saw yours but apparently that is not allowed.
