Letter from some Ex-Members of Calvary Temple (January 1, 2016)

Dear Calvary Temple People,

I just read Tactics (https://tacticsofcalvarytemple.wordpress.com) and thought how quiet my memories are now of all the disgusting things Calvary Temple leadership and my family and friends have done to me years past now.  The pain has subsided, and I harbor no anger as the thoughts return. Thoughts of my nice family that turned into cruel strangers in an hour. All the memories of mockery and hardship in order to break my spirit. I think Tactics should have put names to all of us in his post yesterday. Maybe he won't get us all depending on how old he is and what he knows, but I think our names are important. 

We are real people.  We had real lives and families that were taken away from us, destroyed, so that even if we went back to Calvary nothing would ever be good again for us. Because we have seen how our families can be turned on a dime to hate us. It didn't even matter what the truth was. They wouldn't listen to anyone who doesn't agree with what Star Scott says. Period. So for us, family relationships can be bought and sold. And we won't ever be able to trust anyone completely again. But like that song said, at the end of the year, when reflection comes, we should remember what was, and what could have been. But for maniac of a pastor.

Here’s to  all those Calvary Temple has tried to destroy: Bassam Akel, Cynthia Azat, John and Sarah and Jacquelyn Azat, Mrs. Bickel, Barb Boyce daughter, Yvonne Bright, Jonathan and Jennifer Burrell, Deana Burton, Linda Carrs ex-husband, Neil and Dottie Conrad, Mike and Renee Cox, Latasha Dozier, Brian Ewens parents, Tom and Molly Fitch and Gretel, Mike Foster, Michelle, Stuart Freeman and family, Cathy Francis and Francis family, Mike Gardners real parents and family, Nikki and PJ Harvey, Rachel Hayden, Hannah Heglunds real parents and family, Josh and Tiff Jablonski, Paul and Helen Jester, Pat Jones daughter, Rick Hibbler and family, Erica Kains four kids, Amy Knecht, Andre, Anna, Maria Konczal, Patrick Konczals real mom and family, Jerry and Ellen Kusar and Kevin, Jason and Jessica Kusar, Andrew Lawrence, Chuck and Lisa Larock and family,  Sal, Rosie, Sal, Nikki Leonetti, Dave Lewis, Ken and Charlotte Luksic, Ken and Marian Marino and kids, Richard and Terry Miller, John and Aaron Muccio, Lauren Nantier, Chris O'Connor's stepkids Chassity and Tyler, Cindy Parkers ex-husband, Louis and Waleska Reed and kids,  Helena Robinette, Josh and Aja Saylor and kids, Maurice and Martha Saylor, Brandon and Naomi Schwartz, Josh Schwarz, Joe Schwartz, Amanda Schwartz, Scott and Victoria Shelton and kids, Ron and Patty Simoneau and family, Keith and Patty Stitt and family, David Stocks, Paul Sullivan and family, Larry and Sharon Thomas, Sherry and Cody Robinette, Chuck and Nikki Larock, Connie Tindells son John David, Kevin, Susan and Sheri Virnelson, Ibrahem Wahba, Donna Wotrings son Nathan, John Zarou, Rick Zarou. And all those I don't remember, because their names were pretty quickly deleted from our church directory. And I don't have old ones, only the one from the year I was kicked out-2009.

I hope you get through the New Year Eve ok. Just saying, we all have names. And our names have horrible stories behind them. And we all have lost part of ourselves at Calvary Temple. And not by choice.
