@ gracevslaw I haven't heard anything lately. I don't think Timothy is still absent from the studies. Frogla might know something, but I haven't heard from her in a while though. I hope she is doing ok! I think she is just having a rough time and trying to focus more on her marriage so I completely understand. I think for the most part everyone is just trying to put their life back

LLG and Frogla your inbox is full again. @ Frogla- I will say, it is dangerous to form any type of relationship (even online) and discuss personal matters with the opposite sex. Because you sort of become dependent upon them whether meaning to or not. And you develop a "bond" that you should only have with your spouse. I think that because some of the flockers spouses are not flocke

@ Frogla, everyone who doesn't recognized the letters as being from God, is scum. Accepting the bible alone is not good enough. Because the letters override the bible. This is what I meant when I said your "rebellion." It is not personal. This is why Trent blocks everyone on facebook. But with you being married, he is torn between his love for you and his obedience to God. I do not
Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

@ LLG yes, that happened to me several times, when I would ask Timothy a question. Trent would reply, so there was no privacy there. But questions were to be also directed to two other leaders. I didn't feel comfortable talking to the other members. I wanted to talk to "line 1" @ Frogla, I will pray for you! I am so sorry to hear that, he probably is being told that he need

Yea, anytime I had sincere questions that I wanted direct answers from Timothy, I was always directed to other members with "The Lord says Timothy can not answer anymore questions and all questions must be directed to (fill in blank with one of three people)" That was a red flag for me. Frogla, do you know if this means Timothy will not be in anymore bible studies or has he drop

The first day of 2012 is the cutoff. So if the rapture doesn't occur by then, Speed T. Rathbun will either disappear (though I don't see how since his family is involved) or they will set a new date. As you have read on the forum, they have set dates of expectation before and have even met on certain Holy Days at Timothy's house because they were expecting the rapture to possibly o
Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

Hey guys, I do recall Trent responding to someone who said something in reference to the May 21, 2011ers. And Trent stated he believed the rapture would happen BEFORE May, but he "didn't want to go into detail" why he thought so. There could be something more to that like a Holy Day. But yes the very last day of 2011 is the cut off. One thing I have noticed is most of the new f

Sorry about all the typos guys, anyways the time Timothy said "the Lord is angry with you for leaving to get food during study" was not addressed to anyone, but he used it to scare people that they should not be eating during study. Also something I just remembered-the letters say NO preachers will be raptured at all. If you continue to go to church against the letters "you
Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

Here are just a few things I picked up on while in studies and chats that one should take into consideration when reading these letters, I will continue to add as I remember them. If you really study how cults work, they fall right in place. It's almost like Timothy looked up a manual for starting a cult and followed it step by step. Timothy says he is one of the 144,000 (of course he

I'm sorry to hear that Frogla, I am not familiar with Aaron Thomas. They don't just let anyone join those studies. My first thoughts were it was one of them pretending to be Aaron taking what you've said on here (that HAS helped others more than you know) out of context to make themselves look like victims and once again make us look like the enemies. I know that sounds ridiculous,

Jim Jones was a cult leader of The People's Temple, He convinced over 900 of his "flock" to drink koolaid laced with cyanide in the 70s... Sorry, just trying to make light of a terrible situation.

Forum: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups

Ok, I thought these scriptures would help those struggling. Of course like LLG stated, any lurkers (and I'm sure they get emailed updates) will read these backwards in defense of the letters and think they are about preachers and real prophets (anyone who rejects the letters or disagrees with their doctrines is considered a "false prophet") because their doctrines are the direct li
