Some of the family who are Christians are very troubled by constant exclusions and treatment, and the children who are not believers are even more befuddled by these kind of practices. So much for being a light and an expression. She said, “ I’m so controlled by this vision of the “body life”, that I can’t be wasting my time on worldly things”. I almost threw up in my mouth hearing this testimony! She says she loves the family, but it’s another case for talking vs walking.

From personal experience, in 1996 I flew to Southern California for the Thanksgiving conference. While I was attending the conference one of my brothers and one of my sisters drove out to Henderson, Nevada to visit our grandmother. I did not know it at the time, but our grandmother died less than a month later from cancer.
Looking back when my parents were separated, I am thankful for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays my siblings and our mother spent in Henderson, Nevada with out grandmother, great-aunts, great-grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins. My happy memories from being a teen ager are from these memories.
