You know I came down to see you a few weeks ago and reached out. Stayed 5 days hoping you’d want to see me, or talk. Nope. On Saturday, I did have a good cry. It’s been a while since I’ve mourned like that. You and Dad allowed Pastor Star Scott to ‘put me away’ on Christmas day 2011. Over 12 years ago. <br /><br />This picture was taken on Christmas Day 2006. Jonathan, you were home for Christmas, in college, and living in Virginia. Here you are with your brother Josh, and Dad. Playing chess. Josh was rapidly becoming a formidable foe!<br /><br />We are doing well. I am under the weather tonight, but overall good. Since being ill, changed what I eat. Have a cold plunge on the porch, and working on doing it daily… brrr!!! Walking, often with relatives here on the road, Aunt Jackie comes for walks, Uncle Patrick not so much….but he meets me at Grampa’s for coffee and pie often. You know he turned 86 this year, close to Maggie's birthday I believe. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELsMdx4bGaMS_mKjZvtZzYaITV8RqIMSAi_pRBMeNeAlzNjB7ikT6qhFU5-v9OxBfaNW1KbDU7OWciQVpN0i1XXlzXB1jEH3c4m1n1o1yk1e1HkxHZBuFK9d2aDkMbrZExdrEQJdGHCPZTn9Ta-4hafhsQywKqYOab9L83VyBDXX_xYALZlfyiBoVon0/s2350/IMG_7269.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1588" data-original-width="2350" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELsMdx4bGaMS_mKjZvtZzYaITV8RqIMSAi_pRBMeNeAlzNjB7ikT6qhFU5-v9OxBfaNW1KbDU7OWciQVpN0i1XXlzXB1jEH3c4m1n1o1yk1e1HkxHZBuFK9d2aDkMbrZExdrEQJdGHCPZTn9Ta-4hafhsQywKqYOab9L83VyBDXX_xYALZlfyiBoVon0/w640-h432/IMG_7269.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /></p><p>I’ve been thinking of Calvary Temple tonight, and all the shattered families. It’s astonishing. Jesus said you know a tree by its fruit. So when folks call me (after leaving or before leaving Calvary, they do call), one of the first things they tell me is what wonderful children I have. And since they were all raised by their mother, well 2 plus 2 is 4. People are looking for answers, because they can smell a rat. And they know. A mother robbed of her children by a church called Calvary Temple of Sterling, Virginia.<br /><br />I love you, forgive you, pray you come to your senses, remember the difference between right and wrong. Please read 2 Timothy 3. Hugs for all of you.

Repeat the error over and over from a pastor/teacher/Deacon/captain. Call out, name, ridicule, discipline, threaten, put away anyone who resists the authority/error promoter/liar. DON’T THINK. Don’t understand. Repeat after me, I am dumb. Pastor is the only one who understands. Trust Pastor, don’t trust myself. If I trust myself, and not Pastor, then I must be in rebellion. Lies become truth. WARNING: Do not believe anything which comes out of our mouths. All of us at Calvary Temple are untrustworthy. The only ones you can believe are the ‘dead’.

Bob, many, MANY individuals have not only brought <em style="font-style: italic;">you</em> facts, but they have brought them to pastors and deacons under your guidance and have been shrugged off. You have turned a blind eye to what was brought to you and turned the tables on these individuals and reprimanded them by putting them on “visitor” status, reprimanded and embarrassed them from your pulpit-pedestal, even kicked them out and marked them for “causing discord” when all they did was bring you the truth in love. Truth in love that you often preach. These individuals are scorned and judged and the congregation is told that they questioned the very Word of God and couldn’t have possibly heard from God, even going to the extent of saying that these individuals twisted scripture to benefit themselves. It has even been mentioned by several of these individuals that they were told that they were right, but that things would not change because “that is just the way it is done around here”. It is obvious that when someone does bring something biblical to you it does not concern, convict, or prick your heart spiritually. Do you even hear from the Holy Spirit? Do you not hear the Holy Spirit telling you that what you are doing is grieving God? You bring a reproach and grieve the Holy Spirit with your attitude and actions. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines reproach as:</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Reproach:</p><div class="wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex" style="align-items: flex-start; box-sizing: border-box; column-gap: 0.5em; display: flex; flex-flow: column wrap; row-gap: 0.5em;"><p style="margin: 0px;">An expression of rebuke or disapproval</p><p style="margin: 0px;">The act or action of reproaching or disapproving</p><p style="margin: 0px;">A cause or occasion of blame, discredit, or disgrace</p></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, you are not without reproach! You are a shepherd that has been given charge over a flock and have stood in that pulpit for 50 years while you have a very large “stain” on your reputation! Have you asked God for forgiveness for this “stain”, yes, but any true, humble pastor would have stepped down and faded into the background when that stain was revealed and let another qualified, proven pastor begin to lead. Scripture clearly states that those who are leaders of the flock of Christ must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, and not greedy for money. (Titus 1:7) 1 Timothy 3:2-3 states that a leader must be blameless, husband to one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous. Bob, you are not blameless! You have destroyed countless families in mere seconds, by spewing lies about them, because they confronted you on lies you have told, brought you spiritual truths that convicted you, or BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THEY HEARD FROM GOD and you wanted to keep them quiet. You are covetous and greedy and have a lust for money and things that are not yours. If you or Greer want a new car, you get it. If you and Greer want to go to Tahoe or on some lavish vacation, you go. If you or Greer want designer clothing, you get it, not even thinking about whether it’s greed and lust fueling that desire to get, get, get! Do you and Greer tithe on your income? Do you give offerings and require yourselves to pledge money toward missions or building projects, or anything else you suddenly demand the congregation to pledge to? Or are you going to demand everyone pledge toward something then have them give written permission to have it used toward something undetermined and suddenly you go on a surprise vacation or you have another car or renovate your home? Do you even realize or care that you have members of your congregation who are struggling to make ends meet and put food on their table because they know that if they miss their tithe or pledge they’ll be called on by their deacon and told that they are on “visitor” status until they start tithing again? You gloat and boast about the things you have. You are not humble.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">You are constantly saying that you and the congregation are doers of the Word, yet when do any of you visit or care for or have compassion on orphans and widows as James 1:27 says to do? Or is it that compassion is shown only to the widows who can bring money into Calvary Temple coffers? You have no ministry directed to or for widows, orphans, or the elderly! Or even a ministry to help those in your congregation who are struggling financially. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">The ministries that you do have are those that can bring in people who can put money into the coffers, with the exception to the prison ministry. You have used your lust-filled and covetous heart to purchase expensive cars to put on display to bring in well-to-do individuals, who could potentially join the congregation to bring in more money. Speaking of the prison ministry, it is great to have one, and yes, the men who are brought into the Calvary Temple fold are forgiven, but ARE YOU PROTECTING the congregation properly from the actions that put them into prison in the first place? Are you protecting the children from becoming potential victims of egregious acts that some of these men were convicted of? Are you ensuring these men are counseled and not being put into positions to be tempted to commit these acts again? There are several in your leadership circle, close friends to you, and members of the congregation who have been accused of physical and other egregious abuses, including yourself, have you investigated these accusations or are you continuing to sweep them under the rug and tell the accusers that they are making up stories? How many kids have been scared and threatened into silence because of what was done to them? How many kids have been told, “Your parents are my friend and they’ll never believe that I hurt you like that!” How many have been told, I can kick out your family if you say anything? How many former students have to tell the same story about the abuses they experienced at the hands of associate pastors, teachers, and even their peers before you or someone finally takes the accusations seriously?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, how many more families are you going to destroy because you want to see someone in the family break? How many more kids are you going to brainwash into thinking that if they or their siblings or even their parents leave Calvary Temple they will be leaving God? I know many who watched the Christmas program online. Many wouldn’t understand why a Christmas program was written about a broken family and why the mom would tell her kids her husband left because he didn’t love God anymore. Those of us who have left Calvary Temple know that this is just another instance of instilling fear into the children who are in the school. Fear that if they or any member of their family leave Calvary Temple they are leaving God and will go to hell because they are now serving their flesh. It does not matter whether or not the person who is leaving was prompted by the Holy Spirit to go to another congregation, it does not matter if the person leaving is leaving because their job is moving them somewhere else. If a person decides to leave and take their family with them, that is their decision alone, they do not need counseling from you or your cohorts. It is theirs alone, especially if they feel that God is leading them elsewhere! It has been drilled into each child that if you leave Calvary Temple, you are leaving God! Bob, you are not the only person that can hear from God yet you make your congregation believe that they cannot be prompted by the Holy Spirit! Members of Calvary Temple can hear from the Holy Spirit outside of you and can be led by the Holy Spirit outside of you! Anyone who leaves Calvary Temple can still serve God and attend another church. Anyone who leaves Calvary Temple and goes to another church can still be fed the Word of God in a new church! Just because they leave Calvary Temple does not mean that they are automatically sinning and leaving God as you have said so many times from your pulpit-pedestal!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, you are constantly speaking ill of other congregations and their pastors “because they are not like us”, because they do not have the same vision or requirements that you have placed on Calvary Temple. You assume that they do not follow the Word because they are not like Calvary Temple. God had gifted everyone with different gifts, just because a pastor at another church is “different” does not give you the right to slander or judge them for how they teach or lead the flock God has placed in their charge! Each church is different, and each pastor is different; their teaching style and leadership style are uniquely their own, gifted to them by God. Yet you stand in your pulpit and speak ill of them because they aren’t like you. In doing this, it shows those in your congregation that it is ok to be bullies. To speak ill of others and other churches without consequence. It teaches them it’s ok because it’s done in Christ! But that isn’t so! When did Jesus bully people?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, you are boastful and proud. You and the leaders under you have taught the members of your congregation to be the same. You are not humble. You are haughty and you have shown your congregation that it is ok to be that way to others.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, it is time for you to humble yourself, time for you to listen to the Holy Spirit and step down and repent. You know that the Holy Spirit is prompting you to ask for forgiveness from those whom you have slandered and spoken ill of. You speak often about members of the congregation asking “Can’t I say something to them just one more time, this time could be the time that they come to ask for forgiveness and apologize.” Have you ever once felt that you were speaking to yourself when you say those words? Or are you too prideful to feel that prompting? Maybe you need to do some serious introspection. Maybe you need to look deeply at your heart and truly understand that you are just a man and not the idol you have made yourself to be to the world around you. Does your heart break for all the chaos you have caused to hundreds of families? Does your heart break when you hear of another abuse accusation that was caused by someone under your guidance? Do you not see that there is a spirit of haughtiness and elitism that is bound to every member of your congregation that began with you? Do you not see the spirit of narcissism and control that nullifies your congregation’s choice of free will? No one in your congregation has a voice or the free will that God gave them after they become “members”. Everyone there has to do what Bob does or they are ostracized and looked down on.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, you disrespect and speak ill of women and have taught the young men in your congregation to do the same. You have told the world that women are evil and are not to be trusted unless they submit to absolutely everything their husband, deacon, father, even you, without question. It makes one wonder how many women and young ladies are physically abused in their own homes because they question something their husband or father is doing that doesn’t feel right in their hearts. You preach that women are to be help-meets yet women are treated like housekeepers and baby-makers. You have instructed women to give their husbands physical relations regardless of how they feel and if they tell their husbands no, how many husbands force it from or manipulate it from their wives because you have instructed the women to be submissive in all things?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">You have turned children against their parents and told them it is okay to disrespect them if they are not doing things according to the ways of Calvary Temple. The Bible clearly states that parents are to be honored and you have twisted that and told the children that their parents are only to be honored if they are doing things how you want them done.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;">Bob, there is so much more that could be said, but I am going to leave it be for now. You are easily angered when someone brings up your past or if someone calls you out scripturally on something you are doing wrong. You need to get on your face before God and ask for forgiveness, ask those that you have harmed not only physically, but also those that were harmed emotionally and spiritually by your defiance of the scriptures that were brought to you proving that you are wrong and wanting things your way instead of how God wants them. Lastly, you need to step down and turn Calvary Temple over to someone who will truly lead your congregation in the direction that God has instructed. Remember that God is a jealous God and your congregation, including your wife, daughter, and granddaughters have made you an idol. God brings down idols, don’t let Him bring you down without you asking for forgiveness.</p><cite style="color: currentcolor; display: block; font-size: 0.8125em; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0.875em; position: relative;">Anonymous, January 16, 2024</cite></blockquote>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-42592723148939545962023-12-21T10:07:00.003-05:002023-12-21T10:07:34.941-05:00Letter to My Children (December 21, 2023)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEfZsaRT-1GVDcLcCD2qdfPymYbeBavtEfwWJnCfBJ7_vPIKTtYW-LLgytizges56bcD1363L_BWEhU8ajxmMe1q5rJ8Yquk85CJEDVuWoMkqsLher0o8XCfSmfZoDQ-7T7lNNNYSAzLoKIXvIEdJ4t2GIUgILXgqEgUIPqw46_i0xTEEhK-IDchAEBG4/s1792/IMG_6853.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="828" data-original-width="1792" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEfZsaRT-1GVDcLcCD2qdfPymYbeBavtEfwWJnCfBJ7_vPIKTtYW-LLgytizges56bcD1363L_BWEhU8ajxmMe1q5rJ8Yquk85CJEDVuWoMkqsLher0o8XCfSmfZoDQ-7T7lNNNYSAzLoKIXvIEdJ4t2GIUgILXgqEgUIPqw46_i0xTEEhK-IDchAEBG4/w640-h296/IMG_6853.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Joshua, and Christina,<p></p><p>Hello and I love you.

With so much going on in the world, from your own communities to the global stage, it is at times a tad overwhelming, to say the least. However, as the world reels like a drunken man, Bob Scott has not slowed down, nor has he let up in his opinionated, fear-mongering, Word-bashing, Scripture-twisting, authoritarian practices in his Calvary Temple kingdom located on Triple Seven Rd in Sterling, VA.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Today’s post was prompted by last night’s diatribe – anger and hatred spewed from Bob Scott’s bully pulpit. Bob Scott is angry. He is spitting mad.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Why?</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Because his more than five-decades-old disgusting and egregious actions were brought to the forefront again by a loving member of the Body of Christ.

As a safeguard, I made a personal video recording for posterity purposes. Why did I record it?

Bob Scott stood in that pulpit last night and vilified all of us who have stood on the Word of God since way before 2007. Bob Scott called us gutless, cowards, and liars. He claims that we don’t have the guts to identify ourselves.</p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Are you kidding me, Bob?

Oh, that you would repent and ask for forgiveness. But you are a false shepherd. You are a charlatan. You are the one who hates God and loves yourself more than anything or anyone else.

Do you really believe “virtually EVERYONE” that has left CT is in rebellion and not serving God? Do you really believe Gary Hamrick is a false teacher? Do you really believe “NO ONE” at Cornerstone is doing the Word? (his exact words were NO ONE) Do you really believe Star Scott never referred to himself as High Priest? Do you really believe Star Scott only had an adulterous affair back in CA when in fact he molested his nieces for 3.5 years? (Then lied about it and covered it up for decades until it was revealed.) Does it ever bother you that he constantly belittles other churches and believers? And do you really believe families should be divided and destroyed just because they left Calvary Temple? Like yours was? M***, please get your family out of Calvary Temple before it’s too late. Especially before your precious grandchildren are married to someone they don’t really choose or love.</p><cite style="color: currentcolor; display: block; font-size: 0.8125em; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0.875em; position: relative;">Use by author’s permission</cite></blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">This video is posted on Calvary Temple’s YouTube channel, Calvary Temple Ministries Broadcast.

Well the people they sent this to have been here like close to like 40 yrs it’s not like anything’s happened they haven’t seen. I won’t go into specifics but it’s interesting how so many of these that have been gone so long now created their own reality, what they referred to did not happen and they believe it to be truth, believing lies, becoming reprobate in their minds, only to be given over as time goes on, the stronger delusion, and of course to me one of my main things is get some guts and sign the thing for crying out loud. If you got something to say, put your name on it. Amen? I’m not afraid to put my name on anything I believe. Gutless. Liars. Living in darkness because their deeds are evil. If you’ve got something to say, say it, bring the facts, and then people will be ready to listen to you. If you can produce something factual, and if we as a fellowship are doing something unbiblical and you can show it to us, we’ll stop INSTANTLY. We will say we are wrong and we will change if you can show us in the scriptures where we’re missing it. And I’m saying all that to relate to this fact of the fear of God and how then in so many of these instances, there’s been that tendency to try to breach this gap somehow because we don’t fear God, we don’t believe that our family could be leaven, we don’t believe that our family could be plucked out. God says stop trying to replant what I’m trying to take out of your midst. I’m trying to make you a holy people. Amen? Now, do we want to fear God or do we want to be in relationship with people that hate God. Pretty simple question to answer. Why would we even give a second thought to mother, or father or children or to our own lives only when he has already mandated that if you do that you’re not worthy of me. Now do we fear God and believe his word or not. Am I saying that those are easy things to do? No! I’ve gone through them. My heart’s been broken, my heart’s been wrenched but I’ve already made up my mind who my lord is and who I’m going to serve. And nothing’s gonna deter me from that.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"></p><cite style="color: currentcolor; display: block; font-size: 0.8125em; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0.875em; position: relative;">Star Robert “Bob” Scott, The Fear of the Lord, Part 4, December 6, 2023 / YouTube</cite></blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(56, 56, 56); color: #383838; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0.875em; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">I will end with this.

The memories of each one, never far away. Like this morning. And in my dreams last night. Yesterday was the perfect NY fall day. I washed outside windows, bedding down vege gardens with leaves, getting in a last lawn mow for the year, and sweeping all of grampa’s thousands of leaves into his woods! You fussed as kids at chores (who doesn’t!!), likely you find them comforting now. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10ND5CL4EHSzyr7stWkkUCF9WCCQIJ8k9atxSzpKo0om0Ih5O0xfMuJSJnncsSHeLUSbFQtACQu9Q5sz0yeUm-1qYleKRxBUomrQQqIk0XlXA27mJ7I6hWfeYIsTrU0DHA7QbEjvbzoRAG1nDei3kGBkABYePkWmMAwZhyphenhyphencK7F5I3I72H8EnmFRAur9w/s827/IMG_6380.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="812" data-original-width="827" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj10ND5CL4EHSzyr7stWkkUCF9WCCQIJ8k9atxSzpKo0om0Ih5O0xfMuJSJnncsSHeLUSbFQtACQu9Q5sz0yeUm-1qYleKRxBUomrQQqIk0XlXA27mJ7I6hWfeYIsTrU0DHA7QbEjvbzoRAG1nDei3kGBkABYePkWmMAwZhyphenhyphencK7F5I3I72H8EnmFRAur9w/w400-h393/IMG_6380.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Grateful for the many get-togethers here with our relatives. Sadly, a couple of them were due to death. But how glad we all were to hug and remember stories of our families. Our family is lovely. At my cousin's wake, so good seeing his children and ex-wife, brothers and sisters. Aunt Jackie had to pull us through, as we lingered long, holding up the line behind us. Grampa broke rank, came to the head of the queue to join us in a hug and laugh with cousins. First question we get, ‘how many grandchildren do you each have?’ No one has more grandchildren (yet!) than I. Astonishment, pictures pulled up on the phone, questions, laughter, sad sighs, prayers for your return offered, evil vanquished again in normal living and truth. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0gBCgwgNFgzNPqqJlClWwMjRPtEG7y2rM5MbMBnRC3DfsqPy1rxOOw3El2irM0nlC2-_THUxH6VRcywPgTt5wXe-fgWvk1b_Tqa6qOScuX-wppdgFvS3H18AwRaWCCcpKHbF48ZqQCVCfbpvjXLzBWXq6YFRcUoDU7HAlL8vlcy-FDGRCoerhu4B4bk/s2659/FullSizeRender%202.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1770" data-original-width="2659" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx0gBCgwgNFgzNPqqJlClWwMjRPtEG7y2rM5MbMBnRC3DfsqPy1rxOOw3El2irM0nlC2-_THUxH6VRcywPgTt5wXe-fgWvk1b_Tqa6qOScuX-wppdgFvS3H18AwRaWCCcpKHbF48ZqQCVCfbpvjXLzBWXq6YFRcUoDU7HAlL8vlcy-FDGRCoerhu4B4bk/w400-h266/FullSizeRender%202.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p>When we have longer visits, the relatives talk about my mother, your grandma Eileen.

When an individual (pastor, lawyer, counselor, friend, spouse, etc.) discourages you from talking to your parents (and cuts you off from your people), bashes your parents/relatives, trying to make themselves your ‘new family.’ Those people are bad people. They are pulling you to themselves for the benefit you bring them. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyWZT4ULlMQluRT3oxou9aTj-X50z8f564o6Wn51lJaKIgwOlvzZ7PYSh6rmnMCWaSTac0wRYA8aY72orNV6Tysy99GgoFX2mCqXUwh_5mSxwB8mAsOyRw68QHPexaiWXBksqIgonSY4r0BoAfm6ilzzcFPVRhrt8pkF2bheCtzMUVaSIiAv9mcMex0YI/s2491/FullSizeRender%20(4).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1707" data-original-width="2491" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyWZT4ULlMQluRT3oxou9aTj-X50z8f564o6Wn51lJaKIgwOlvzZ7PYSh6rmnMCWaSTac0wRYA8aY72orNV6Tysy99GgoFX2mCqXUwh_5mSxwB8mAsOyRw68QHPexaiWXBksqIgonSY4r0BoAfm6ilzzcFPVRhrt8pkF2bheCtzMUVaSIiAv9mcMex0YI/w400-h274/FullSizeRender%20(4).jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Benefit? Sure, you now give all the natural love and longing for your family, to them. You talk daily to them (instead of your mom and dad). You help care for them when they are ill (instead of your mom and dad). You celebrate their birthdays and holidays (instead of your mom and dad). You help them move and work to make their projects, (instead of…). And because you are still doing good deeds for someone, it tamps down that persistent guilt you feel for cutting off your parents and extended family for years! But God is watching. God hates it. He disdains your sacrifices for others, while your mother and father languish for the sight of you, to hear your voice, and hug you once again. Your mother who raised you and gave her life to make you the valuable people you are today. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyqRdC1ZY-maHJre2ir2CUW5VtWC9M8BlH0rGHWqHH2QJKPSiyywuIXkkgCrJqZJVUe9izPH0FVpM8ZBRneqjbOfmKf1PDtBNqJgebNLAFSpkCdcnR5icLlBNZDWlWnpJvAxj_GEXw70STr7YXALizvZCFVnSzR-Ipp3foquUubr_Es6dxGUHifWYjUw/s2320/FullSizeRender%20(2).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2320" data-original-width="2311" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyqRdC1ZY-maHJre2ir2CUW5VtWC9M8BlH0rGHWqHH2QJKPSiyywuIXkkgCrJqZJVUe9izPH0FVpM8ZBRneqjbOfmKf1PDtBNqJgebNLAFSpkCdcnR5icLlBNZDWlWnpJvAxj_GEXw70STr7YXALizvZCFVnSzR-Ipp3foquUubr_Es6dxGUHifWYjUw/w399-h400/FullSizeRender%20(2).jpeg" width="399" /></a></div><p>This is how you honor? Successful folks in the world know it's ugly. They do not like to associate with folks who treat their mother badly. You will not be successful until you are part of our family again. Christians encouraging this behavior from you (like the folks who attend Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia) sin against God and twist scriptures for personal gain. Like the deck you built for someone in Calvary Temple Josh, a man who has never called to tell me how you were, ruthlessly removed from our home at age 16! But your dad (who has asked my forgiveness for destroying us) is working on his dad's deck right now. And I just hired cousins to come do my patio. Another cousin's children poured her cement driveway. People know what is right to do. And people know what is wrong. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cT6hobJI58mkJ291SrK4-OIiZjmktyVQkEI_M7JNsUapwiTbUEKFKhW9nXyiijkL1J78O8hyphenhyphenoV9ur2FlOmlOcp3WZibcXurghRJu63HGsCoeXXDTGylbZvoKGRUbeeZVSTmQ9zOzV329MYWByxhHXDLC05-oBrgX6JIs3V_Hgmsx_WUqRdXXyT1pgQU/s2570/FullSizeRender%20(3).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2570" data-original-width="2559" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cT6hobJI58mkJ291SrK4-OIiZjmktyVQkEI_M7JNsUapwiTbUEKFKhW9nXyiijkL1J78O8hyphenhyphenoV9ur2FlOmlOcp3WZibcXurghRJu63HGsCoeXXDTGylbZvoKGRUbeeZVSTmQ9zOzV329MYWByxhHXDLC05-oBrgX6JIs3V_Hgmsx_WUqRdXXyT1pgQU/w399-h400/FullSizeRender%20(3).jpeg" width="399" /></a></div><p>Gosh this is a long letter!

I love the Bible. I don’t listen to many sermons. Prefer the audio bible. But I listened to Pastor Scott the other day talking, (a ridiculous sermon from last Sunday). I thought I’d post a tiny bit of it. Along with the Bible verses to refute what he said.<br /><br />I guess what he’s saying is that he’s a ‘true teacher’ because his congregation is brainwashed to obey everything. And other pastors of local churches are ‘false teachers’ because their congregations don’t obey what is taught. And he’s also implying God and his Son, Jesus Christ, are ‘false teachers’ because the bible declares sometimes people don’t obey God. <br /><br />Yikes kids. Time to leave Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia. Go down the road to Cornerstone, for now. Lots of folks you know who’ve left Calvary Temple go there. It’s a good place to start the recovery from the mind control and spiritual abuse you are enduring. Just a place to breathe again. And make your own decisions. <br /><br />You shouldn’t obey bad guys. If they are pastors or not.<br /><br />Love you always and forever,<br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-933374495931174292023-09-04T11:11:00.008-04:002023-09-04T11:11:48.727-04:00Letter to My Children (September 4, 2023)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeosIVuNmOYuZHfHXKkf-wrGxNR04HE8lbGT6JJ3WW6eeZ3X17xlaZefmma5jchUxlT9oE-gXWrZ6SIOO4DFOUTRxPE4tBQlmvGpAcStNFA_1FCr-yvoI2KaJOjbUFueSKOPGc6lUXAlydsOQA29LCspEUv29FdpMTiRwtP0dWAD5Lrs10RRVFg7jDjvg/s3024/IMG_5871.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2305" data-original-width="3024" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeosIVuNmOYuZHfHXKkf-wrGxNR04HE8lbGT6JJ3WW6eeZ3X17xlaZefmma5jchUxlT9oE-gXWrZ6SIOO4DFOUTRxPE4tBQlmvGpAcStNFA_1FCr-yvoI2KaJOjbUFueSKOPGc6lUXAlydsOQA29LCspEUv29FdpMTiRwtP0dWAD5Lrs10RRVFg7jDjvg/w400-h305/IMG_5871.heic" width="400" /></a></div><br />Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Josh, and Christina. <br /><br />You’ve been on my mind, as always.

None of you have called or visited, ever, in all these years since 2011. Hard for people to believe. A dozen years of stone cold silence. No contact with parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins. <br /><br />I have been researching and investigating how this church and pastors have been able to accomplish the destruction of countless families, lives and even the childlike faith of many. Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia, along with it’s pastors Starr Scott, Jeff Heglund, Steve Gardner, Les Stone, Jonathan Miller, Waleed Zarou, Ron Zarou...appear to be genuinely good at fooling people. <br /><br />Look at the website calvarytempleva.org. My goodness! How wholesome it appears. Basketball camps, cheerleading and soccor camps. Look at their Facebook page. My how sweet, they LIKE: A.W. Tozer and Andrew Murray. See how they are FOLLOWING: Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis Foundation, A.W. Tozer Quotes Daily.<br /><br />Just camouflage. Disguised to lure trusting souls. And separate them from their parents, spouses, children. The camouflage is not evil. But the intelligence behind the use of it to gain your trust, is evil. <br /><br />John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light,because their deeds were evil.<br /><br />You are fooled children. Do what is right, no matter what your ding-dang pastor says. He’s a blithering idiot, in my opinion.<br /><br />Love you so much,<br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-56614723051201360482023-03-26T10:43:00.001-04:002023-03-26T10:43:08.405-04:00Repost | UnFair Trade Act<p style="text-align: center;"><i>[Reposted from the <a href="https://tacticsofcalvarytemple.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/unfair-trade-act/" target="_blank">Tactics of Calvary Temple</a> blog]</i> <br /></p><p>UnFair Trade Act (UFTA) = License to Steal (LtS).

Like this one with some of Donna’s kids. Gosh we were a revolving door of activity. Sydney used to worry that I needed rest. Now I have plenty of rest, and thankful that back then we were able to do all the things we did. And that mom put a camera in my hands as a kid. So you grew up being photographed.<br /><br />Last week arranged for a tour of our house with Aunt Jackie. Fun. Memories. Also stopped by the aunts, and got another tour down memory lane, seeing several framed photos that I’d taken long ago of my cousins. <br /><br />The photo above is grainy. But I love it. You sisters playing tether ball with the boys, after a swim at sunset. <p></p><p>Love you all so much, <br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-23772795624808639022023-03-24T17:14:00.000-04:002023-03-24T17:14:02.343-04:00Letter to Joshua (March 24, 2023)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Cw57OFw3qUSsxTNDJDZgBHFmPhV_0TqAp6fjBjmSwHHpUcnRGsVwhOUyUR8SIz_ZJnVteA75YNvCQrD6FD8-_-v6jbX_0IlgAJiHZOrDLM7GC5V81lmVa3wgmsaP7sC2ai7yvuF5qw0PmV2Z6ywvFtVq_F_li0gVOeS_u87idlGGnCCLX1Y5c-CG/s2767/IMG_4651.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1910" data-original-width="2767" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Cw57OFw3qUSsxTNDJDZgBHFmPhV_0TqAp6fjBjmSwHHpUcnRGsVwhOUyUR8SIz_ZJnVteA75YNvCQrD6FD8-_-v6jbX_0IlgAJiHZOrDLM7GC5V81lmVa3wgmsaP7sC2ai7yvuF5qw0PmV2Z6ywvFtVq_F_li0gVOeS_u87idlGGnCCLX1Y5c-CG/w400-h276/IMG_4651.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>Dear Joshua,<br /><br />How are you son? Just heard from Mrs. Case, she’s on her way home from visiting family. And I sent her some pictures. Lots of you and Danny, Jordan, Sean; all your buddies in school and out. <br /><br />I liked this one, that happy face, holding your tools. You know I bought a few tools for Jonathan, he was a pretty good welder in his teen years. But you were a chip of my block. I loved woodworking tools. Do you still have your lathe? I have a barnful of tools. Right now, tinkering with the idea to build a chicken coop for a couple dozen chickens. <br /><br />Do you remember our city dates, we would go to the woodworkers shop and get special bits for your lathe, wood for the pens you made. Along with lunch and a quick stop at the bookstore!<br /><br />Joshy, you were so young when they took you from me. Please think for yourself. You knew it was wrong then. You said so. Don’t obey wrong. Come home son. Bring Olivia and your babies, and come home to see mom, and all of us. We miss you so much.

When you were little, dad and I had to attend a function, so asked my younger sisters Nancy and Jackie to babysit you and Jonathan. I think you were about 2 or so. Apparently, you cried so much, at the kitchen door, nothing they did appeased your need for mommy. You fell asleep by the door, they covered you up. And told me they would not be available to babysit for a few years! Lol.<br /><br />But there is another side to you, that I love. My free spirited girl.

It seems your thoughts have turned to the legacy you will leave behind. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">A recent tragic event took place that catapulted your legacy to the forefront of my thinking. The <a href="http://dearcalvarytemple.blogspot.com/2022/09/re-printed-letter-from-don-reed.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background-color: transparent; color: #287575; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">blog Dear Calvary Temple</a> received a comment from a Calvary Temple member’s step father telling of the tragic loss of his wife.

Their story made me realize you might be wondering how you will be remembered in years to come. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">Every family and individual listed below has been part of your life’s work. Many have experienced the destruction of their family as a direct result of your teachings, divorces at your encouragement, loss of relationships with friends or family members, or spiritual abuse. In addition, there are some who have experienced sexual, emotional and physical abuse. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you have said before, there are THOUSANDS who have either fled your church, or been ordered to leave. <strong style="font-weight: 700;"><u>All</u></strong> have been shunned by those still remaining in Calvary Temple. You have instructed your congregation to cut off relationship with those who have left…. because <strong style="font-weight: 700;">“they are already dead.”</strong> </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em style="font-style: italic;">(How did it affect you when you learned that the woman you had pronounced “already dead” took her own life just weeks later? How did Patrick, her own son, feel? What does he tell his children that have lost their beloved grandmother? Does he wonder if his mother might still be alive if she had not had a death sentence pronounced over her?)</em> </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">In addition to those have left or been put out of your church, your legacy will be remembered by every member of your congregation that still remains.

Yes, you have a legacy and it will continue on past your time on this earth. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">It may have become difficult to remember so many that have been part of your history, so let me help you out. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.875em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: small;">The following is a <strong style="font-weight: 700;">partial list</strong> of those who have left Calvary Temple through the years and would certainly like to talk with you of how you have affected their lives, your legacy.

We all miss you. <br /><br />Just now I was humming the old song from Micah. One of my favorite verses. Can you still sing it? I used to often when you were young. <br /><br /><i>He has told you, O man… <br />What is good and what the Lord requires of you.<br />But to do justly.<br />And to love mercy.<br />And to walk humbly with thy God.</i><br /><br />But you can’t do justly if you don’t investigate a matter, all sides.<br />And you can’t love mercy if you won’t talk to certain people.<br />And you can’t walk humbly with thy God, if you haven’t done the first two.<br />You aren’t doing what the Lord requires of you Sarah.<br />But you can! Ask him to help you do the right thing. <br />Because it’s the right thing to do.<br /><br />Love you dear daughter,<br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-79447116077380703852023-01-08T18:16:00.001-05:002023-01-08T18:16:10.900-05:00Letter to Christina (January 8, 2023)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_6wjvrKZnZDjN6pamIqn0vPHUu2c0bhFw4qsx02LskZGezsmSI7ivd3Shq7Jxc_HrMmDeMNvZTNI9mFnxRw40wAwCALhr3lWoWrtU2imbjWNCQDP5ZoFK2Cs9FYTMm_fw2vW14OK5ZRgjb2NQSk9fcz3yk8v13fKAxX_0QyrcgV5UWoH0HS7RIRo/s596/IMG_4380.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="370" data-original-width="596" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_6wjvrKZnZDjN6pamIqn0vPHUu2c0bhFw4qsx02LskZGezsmSI7ivd3Shq7Jxc_HrMmDeMNvZTNI9mFnxRw40wAwCALhr3lWoWrtU2imbjWNCQDP5ZoFK2Cs9FYTMm_fw2vW14OK5ZRgjb2NQSk9fcz3yk8v13fKAxX_0QyrcgV5UWoH0HS7RIRo/w640-h398/IMG_4380.heic" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Dear Christina,<br /><br />How are you feeling my sweet daughter? We have been told your baby is due early in February. A busy month for birthdays in our family! Your great gramma Almeter, your Grampa Beck, your mom are all February babies! <br /><br />Was looking at old Christmas pictures, the one above was our Beck family Christmas in 2005. At grampa and gramma’s with all the cousins and aunts and uncles. Aunt Nancy is in the picture next to you. You’re so pretty with your kerchief tied around your head! Jordan and Josh, Brad on the couch with Aunt Jackie and Uncle David in the background.<br /><br />Aunt Jackie was over for coffee yesterday morning; later I stopped by our aunts and uncles to say hello, dropping off soup, and see how they are doing.<br /><br />I’ve been looking at properties in your area and, after speaking to dad, decided I would like to help you and Michael get into your own home. Of course, you have to let me know what you are interested in.<br /><br />Most of all, you are loved and wanted no matter what you have done to me, your dad and our whole extended family. I love you and always will. All your siblings are equally loved and wanted. Call, text, send a message….I will be there as fast as I can. We miss you so much.<br /><br />Love and hugs and kisses,<br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-33000764519202295612022-12-14T18:00:00.000-05:002022-12-14T18:00:03.380-05:00Letter to My Children (December 14, 2022)<p style="text-align: center;"><i></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizzvy-iUwah6KH1CytiFNBj9Ucl8zoXMdUU9TVOXgq_ZuFHKk5D0gZwDuOkR5euWsqz1fQKHc4b0W1Hf2SBUczQ-11X8Hb86fwM9yg6P7QBoh-aqtV8b5pKi7qQO3lAX8ZN9fHrbz94ulL2IQEkY78UJ7zNvrNjbiu3ubne0Q4zkZ5VIBkyboQUPE7/s4006/69247214063__C8F9210D-8033-4542-A840-220B3A83B8AB.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3022" data-original-width="4006" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizzvy-iUwah6KH1CytiFNBj9Ucl8zoXMdUU9TVOXgq_ZuFHKk5D0gZwDuOkR5euWsqz1fQKHc4b0W1Hf2SBUczQ-11X8Hb86fwM9yg6P7QBoh-aqtV8b5pKi7qQO3lAX8ZN9fHrbz94ulL2IQEkY78UJ7zNvrNjbiu3ubne0Q4zkZ5VIBkyboQUPE7/w640-h482/69247214063__C8F9210D-8033-4542-A840-220B3A83B8AB.JPG" width="640" /></a></i></div><i>Our family gathered at the cabin this past Sunday.

I am offended by how you treat me. I realize the ’strange’ power of Pastor Star Scott’s words to keep you (and all the others at Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia) away from your own people. I know you would suffer rejection of friends, if you left. But. Leave Calvary Temple. There are Christian churches in your area that are solid. I’ve visited three, all close by. <br /><br />Calvary Temple, once upon a time, long ago, maybe, was ok. Now it is heretic. Leave quickly, repent for cutting off your own flesh and blood to please a proud man, Pastor Star Scott. He is not God. He no longer speaks for God. He no longer is a pastor (was he ever really?) he is a Wolf. Stop attending. Stop listening. Don’t be afraid of them. Take your families, and leave. They are not like us; they love destruction, it feeds their power. We love life. Because we love Jesus, who gave us life.</p><p>Love,<br />Mom<br /></p><p> </p><p>My Calvary Temple Tactic's Blog Commentary post titled "<a href="https://mycalvarytempletacticscommentary.blog/2022/12/12/a-rogue-church-aka-calvary-temple-5-27-15/" target="_blank">A Rogue Church (AKA Calvary Temple)</a>"<br /></p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-31526763159671390572022-09-16T09:47:00.003-04:002022-09-16T09:47:39.365-04:00Re-printed: A Letter from Don Reed<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBazND6uM47aephlGaBpIQ_TTatHQe0XqIhDdB2-IuSZWdJ4XHpklX7kWgIkQPVaUeIVv_tCRFYe9CBS2w5VPn_594T7uTyOSrESCXcav98k74_UJlB2qvDX77OAFT-qnHKeGE7y4EXl9PnzNAlu0AdzvlO1DAW4fn73831FLORxQ2z4jCxvB0xnQY/s620/IMG_3461.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="620" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBazND6uM47aephlGaBpIQ_TTatHQe0XqIhDdB2-IuSZWdJ4XHpklX7kWgIkQPVaUeIVv_tCRFYe9CBS2w5VPn_594T7uTyOSrESCXcav98k74_UJlB2qvDX77OAFT-qnHKeGE7y4EXl9PnzNAlu0AdzvlO1DAW4fn73831FLORxQ2z4jCxvB0xnQY/w400-h361/IMG_3461.heic" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>A letter from Don Reed, husband of the late Norma Reed, whose son attends Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia. </i><br /></p><p><a href="https://dearcalvarytemple.blogspot.com/2022/08/letter-to-my-children-august-20-2022.html" target="_blank">In that video</a>, Star Scott speaks of a brother (Pat Konczal, my stepson) who is going through something, but Star said it hasn't been made public yet. What Star is talking about is the death of my wife Norma Reed (Pat’s mother), who took her life on August 4, 2022. Norma was suffering from anxiety and depression, she called her son back in May and asked Patrick if and when we could go down (to see them). Patrick's answer was a shock to his mom, he told her not to come down because we had left Tony's Church (The Sanctuary, Pastor Tony Wozniak) in Buffalo, NY. </p><p>After Norma took her life, Patrick's younger brother called Patrick. Patrick told his brother that I and his mother Norma are reprobates and have been given over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh and that we are "dead" to him. He will say that he and his wife made the decision (to not see us), which may be true, but was surely inspired by the Calvary's ‘Sanhedrin’ (pastors) coming together in March to have their "panel discussion." It is so sad to see people just bobbing their heads, buying into the deception that is being spewed from the "high priest and his Levites" (Pastor Star Scott and the associate pastors). <br /><br />As you can imagine, Patrick's answer to his mom was devastating and she just felt worthless. Norma never once railed against this cult, the only thing I can remember her saying is that the cult made serving the Lord an obligation and not a joy. I told her to get out of there (The Sanctuary Church in Buffalo). Well I am sure this cult probably thinks that Norma and I got what we had coming to us. I can only say that these "leaders" are wicked and one day will pay a price for their wickedness, maybe not here on this earth but most certainly on the day of the Lord. Patrick will one day figure out that he was deceived and it will hit him hard, his mom truly is dead and his last words to her (because of the arrogant cult leaders) were "don't come down". Norma told me if Pat calls tell him we will see him in glory. <br /><br />I hope our children will one day see that living for "Pastor's heart" instead of living for Christ was wicked and hopefully they will wake up. Our children are being deceived because half-truths are being preached and partial scriptures are being quoted and others are being twisted. Our children read the Scriptures in light of their cult leader's interpretation. To simply put it, they have been indoctrinated thus being deceived. God's grace has truly been sufficient for me in this time as I grieve the loss of Norma and I will have to go on without her but by the grace of God, I will go on. <br /><br />Lastly, when Norma raised her three boys by herself, she sacrificed for those boys as they were growing up, her first husband left her with three boys to raise, and as I said she sacrificed to put food on their table and clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads. Norma was a Godly woman and a Godly wife. This is the payback she got from her son caught up in the cult. I hope he repents and gets his heart right with God. Let's continue to pray that God will wake up our children. They are deceived so when one is deceived there is no getting through to them and the only one who can is the Spirit of the living God. God bless you Molly and others who are victims of this cult. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Don Reed</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-75701277491042299812022-08-29T19:00:00.006-04:002022-08-30T09:01:42.178-04:00Letter to My Children (August 29, 2022)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDI-4oxn8VAEys9A7EO7qkabKVy19gkWZGDHpe5ljqjEoodNgHnhEYsCwLj3XIAeZ5LHgqhdZ-E00fKL1jL4id8DvFonWJmrMaYWD4W-mNdHVJBzFXl5ynh_sA5vwFf5ZoXlKcd6hWa6NXlXHDY6TBIIFVjauEstTy66kHgZ_Rzu9WF8Wz5yfMdEx/s2570/IMG_3311.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1927" data-original-width="2570" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDI-4oxn8VAEys9A7EO7qkabKVy19gkWZGDHpe5ljqjEoodNgHnhEYsCwLj3XIAeZ5LHgqhdZ-E00fKL1jL4id8DvFonWJmrMaYWD4W-mNdHVJBzFXl5ynh_sA5vwFf5ZoXlKcd6hWa6NXlXHDY6TBIIFVjauEstTy66kHgZ_Rzu9WF8Wz5yfMdEx/w640-h480/IMG_3311.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Josh, and Bean,<br /><br />I love you all. And all your children. Your spouses are loved by us because they love you! This picture is on the fridge. Christina was just a day old. Our sweet little one! I’ve been canning the past couple of weeks, the gardens did well, and carrots, salsa, tomato sauce, pickles, and peaches are done. About to begin spaghetti sauce and more carrots. I’m sure you girls are doing the same.<br /><br />Babysitting this morning, reflected how much energy it takes caring for young children. It’s not difficult to love children or give them what they require to be happy. That’s a privilege. And you kids were my world. As is normal for moms. But I am tired.<br /><br />Hot and humid here, following babysitting, hurried to get mowing done before the storm rolled in. Packing as much as possible these days, to be ready for tough days ahead. I hope you are preparing as well. Everything is with you all in mind, laying up for your futures. Revising things and tying up loose ends. Each one of you kids is valued and loved dearly. How could I have a favorite? I have wonderful memories. And wonderful children. So grateful for each one of you, and all the love and time raising you. <br /><br />It’s just 8 pm, but am ready for bed. Love and hugs and prayers sent your way.</p><p>Xo Your mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-32071230534199309662022-08-20T20:07:00.000-04:002022-08-20T20:07:04.402-04:00Letter to My Children (August 20, 2022)<p></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='479' height='398' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzwWPUp2rIEybp4W0slyl7tkE3YvwovEQAMZA0efijLrylQfJE1rJhwJarPcXS60usgmCsqRncrDqEuewcrPg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Josh, and Christina,</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> </span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">I am writing this letter to all of you, hoping if you read it, you will call me. You have been misinformed, and I wish to clarify what Pastor Scott said regarding myself and Jonathan on Sunday, August 7 in the evening service. </span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">I came down twice in three weeks, to apprise you all of my health condition. I was not allowed to speak directly to any of you. So along with stopping by your homes and texting that I was down and wished to speak with you all, I stopped by Pastor Star Scott’s home, left a voicemail on his wife Greer’s phone, and rang Kimberly and Jeff Heglund’s door (Pastor Scott’s daughter and her husband, the youth pastor).</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The second visit was from Josh’s birthday until the day after Christina's birthday, six days. Calling, texting the kids, visiting their homes (no contact although I did get to see Sarah from a distance and Christina briefly). Again, visiting the leaders of Calvary Temple stated previously, this time sending a text to Kimberly.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQFminV18gL7yLDT5y6TUu0sjQxyKolrDGQgd-Y3SAU4Cq7yTBHdaU0rWTpc4vMKe7ShNeVz7EvXvuCugN-E7fPQo8uKuZTtJ3cL3wSEh9MBvCdz5UZYIbyZSAmAMAtDr8i-IWRUfz3vErmIe81UziaFHVaLrYHGTEKKknpwlylA8OCxhVgjyLJqL/s14988/Kimberly%20Texts.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7850" data-original-width="14988" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQFminV18gL7yLDT5y6TUu0sjQxyKolrDGQgd-Y3SAU4Cq7yTBHdaU0rWTpc4vMKe7ShNeVz7EvXvuCugN-E7fPQo8uKuZTtJ3cL3wSEh9MBvCdz5UZYIbyZSAmAMAtDr8i-IWRUfz3vErmIe81UziaFHVaLrYHGTEKKknpwlylA8OCxhVgjyLJqL/w640-h336/Kimberly%20Texts.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">So following all the efforts over three weeks listed above, Pastor Scott misleadingly spoke on Sunday August 7 in the evening service. Stating that I was imminently dying (really?), apostate (really?), and accusing my son of cursing, prophetically(!?), his mother unless I repent. </span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><ol style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">What you know is only the basics, not the details of my illness. That was hopefully going to be delivered to my children. You are, happily, incorrect about my imminent death.</span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">I am not apostate. I believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and how can you call a child of God apostate?</span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">My son would never have spoken such words unless prompted, although you grossly misquoted him. His grandparents listened to him the day he called, on speaker phone. We all agreed it was not him, he was being programmed to speak so coldly.</span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">As your first wife died of cancer, and battled it for many years, how can you imply that is a sign of someone in sin? Didn’t you have to be hospitalized with COVID last year, lonely and depressed, your wife asking people in the church to visit you and wave to you from the parking lot? I’ve been lonely and sad for eleven years now, without my children, asking to see them and hear their voices would alleviate my suffering. But you don’t want to them to talk to me. Do you? </span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">You implied you knew nothing, until my son asked to see me. Why would you mislead him and the people?</span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">You refused to allow my children to see their ill mother. Period. You alone are responsible for this separation.</span></li><li style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; list-style-type: decimal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">You said I was already dead. I am alive and kicking. Please allow my children to call me. Thankyou.</span></li></ol><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">So Jonathan, my illness is not because of your words, I have had it for many years now. Just not told you. Thank you, Jonathan, for asking to see your mom. That is the boy I know and love. A kind man.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Pastor Scott, you have revealed yourself as the author of this separation of my children from their parents...I did nothing. Repent of all the curses you have pronounced on mothers and fathers and kids. Proverbs 26 says "the curse causeless shall not come." Take heed, lest your words pronounce your own judgement. You had Tom put me away for three months, to break me. Yours and his words. Why? God only knows your heart. Tom has publicly apologized for what he did.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">It is bewildering to me the extent to which you lie. I loved you once. As a pastor, who truly appeared to love Jesus, and preach the Word. I believe you are a false teacher. You have faked out many folks over the years; however the more people you hurt, the more people are willing to tell their stories.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Kids, you all need to leave Calvary Temple. Of the many folks who have left, majority talk to me sooner or later, reading this blog (and the others), wanting to know what happened, to tell me what they know of you, and sometimes to apologize. Often finding solid churches in the area that help them sift through the cruelties inflicted by Calvary Temple’s leadership (pastors and deacons). If you have not been abused by them, it is probably the mercy of God protecting you via these letters. </span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">I love you all. Pastor Star Scott is keeping you away. Do not obey him. Listen to me. I would never tell you not to serve God. Star Scott is not God. He is a man, coveting your souls and lives for personal gain. The tenth commandment states "You shall not covet your neighbors house, your neighbors wife, nor anything that is your neighbors" (Exodus 20:17). Pastor Star Scott coveted my family for himself. And using the weakened state of their father’s mind, removed their mother from them, and isolated them from both of us and their extended family in New York. It has been eleven years.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Be proud of your father and your mother. You have dang good ones. Not many people can own up publicly to making a wrong judgment of character. We did, and do. Call and I will answer or reply ASAP.</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Love, hugs, and kisses,</span></p><p style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Your own mom</span></p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-82500520706467245342022-06-26T17:52:00.004-04:002022-06-26T17:52:28.594-04:00From a Reader of Dear Calvary (June 26, 2022)<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEzCo68lBNyI3WLnWqCz2lzK64KDrvwflp2QMfg2uCojCBCG9k0SQfpu8NTh6EQ6J8UCmgefxpC810PSZAzQaVvwKSEstByF9DkabL5XVhDz4uYtkdgO94L-vRNocmqw3cHDGOlE4gT021HA1QYrpHlPXo93ckdwCm6kWANqJBLl5VA8STSoJ26Nr/s474/image-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="317" data-original-width="474" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEzCo68lBNyI3WLnWqCz2lzK64KDrvwflp2QMfg2uCojCBCG9k0SQfpu8NTh6EQ6J8UCmgefxpC810PSZAzQaVvwKSEstByF9DkabL5XVhDz4uYtkdgO94L-vRNocmqw3cHDGOlE4gT021HA1QYrpHlPXo93ckdwCm6kWANqJBLl5VA8STSoJ26Nr/w400-h268/image-1.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Dear Calvary,</span></b><br /></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><div><b>On June 24, 2022 the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

Because apparently your pastor is unaware of this fact. This Sunday morning, while millions of Christians rejoiced and celebrated the defense of the unborn, thanking and praising God for His victory, Star Scott did a teaching on what length you should or shouldn't wear your shorts. And though he is delivering this landmark message about the length of your shorts, he wants you to know that because<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>YOU</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>have an opinion about other people's shorts,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>YOU</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>are a fornicator. Oh, and Star Scott reminded everyone that<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>HE</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>gets to decide how long you can wear your shorts in<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>HIS</i>church. Because he's the boss. And don't forget, all of you are filled with lust. (by the way, at the mall you can wear your shorts any length because the people there are already going to hell so you don't have to worry about causing them to stumble). </div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">Thankfully, the shorts problem is solved.</div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"> </div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWAmwSnG7OuUBTJsnF5Z91hEj1HR2Bdu71E1HXOFC0CHmd5RTkODGRsQLeZxAofJheAkkFvm9qP6iGMdKB-tJNqmt2nLdVLs6A9gjkAnHZUwt7ZDBO-oEdqJGXaTWXfeUrm--z3QTuhM2JE3bs4ouLBglK12_6YrswbkAeGXjFWydTDFz8KhVnsFYX/s474/image-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="474" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWAmwSnG7OuUBTJsnF5Z91hEj1HR2Bdu71E1HXOFC0CHmd5RTkODGRsQLeZxAofJheAkkFvm9qP6iGMdKB-tJNqmt2nLdVLs6A9gjkAnHZUwt7ZDBO-oEdqJGXaTWXfeUrm--z3QTuhM2JE3bs4ouLBglK12_6YrswbkAeGXjFWydTDFz8KhVnsFYX/s320/image-2.png" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"> </div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">And thankfully, God is on His throne.</span></b></div>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625397860588693870.post-55899755700594738962022-06-19T13:11:00.007-04:002022-06-19T18:23:40.459-04:00Letter to My Children (June 19, 2022)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ32Sdrhv7AjCg3uGUX6Jc1txnaQAPQVhjkZGeJeGNIPUzox7GxxivVrIyW85m2ftjOkZKk2rGZmY9iITArKc9jfFc7rLu8OtxfFGIMWNnHKj3xCyrIU2bzIvSpEhfcIeeY7DeFYw8Xb0puX8Yjm7Wc_Lj_rKbm_tjD2_Djd0vYLt9sJ9oAcjHSkKN/s3005/IMG_2944.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1814" data-original-width="3005" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ32Sdrhv7AjCg3uGUX6Jc1txnaQAPQVhjkZGeJeGNIPUzox7GxxivVrIyW85m2ftjOkZKk2rGZmY9iITArKc9jfFc7rLu8OtxfFGIMWNnHKj3xCyrIU2bzIvSpEhfcIeeY7DeFYw8Xb0puX8Yjm7Wc_Lj_rKbm_tjD2_Djd0vYLt9sJ9oAcjHSkKN/w640-h386/IMG_2944.heic" width="640" /></a></div><p>Dear Jonathan, Sarah, Josh, and Christina,<br /><br />Happy Father's Day Jonathan, Joshua, and Taylor. I sent the photos in this post to each one of you early this morning. Asking you to call your dad for Father's Day. He has not heard from any of you (nor your mother or the rest of our family). It is wrong not to speak with your parents. The devil is the author of division and separation. We love you all so much. Accordingly, we will keep trying to see you, calling and texting. As well as writing this blog. It’s been ten years. But a mother's love never gives up.<br /><br />The lack of compassion and empathy exhibited by your pastor Star Scott, is shocking. The brutal cutting off experience, we have weathered at the direction of Calvary Temple in Sterling, Virginia is heartbreaking. </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBlcWFtpH2UG8wsjoAn85yW2At0vruUUn8CxFOLC0CuiVEvhvI2vqHLocsOXJTcWJRtcEdaNWqYzpDMXejg95wo980CcboZcpQEqpuJzBFE8CsKVg2PqVtgniyG4SpyMPLrCrs8WJrFecZomfty32Eg6BAT9xGDfKSJb5-1h4YJUFf1D1i3iossh_/s2615/IMG_2945.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1684" data-original-width="2615" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBlcWFtpH2UG8wsjoAn85yW2At0vruUUn8CxFOLC0CuiVEvhvI2vqHLocsOXJTcWJRtcEdaNWqYzpDMXejg95wo980CcboZcpQEqpuJzBFE8CsKVg2PqVtgniyG4SpyMPLrCrs8WJrFecZomfty32Eg6BAT9xGDfKSJb5-1h4YJUFf1D1i3iossh_/w640-h412/IMG_2945.heic" width="640" /></a><br /><br />Today we will all gather at Aunt Jackie's, to wish our men a happy Father's Day. I’ll stop by dad's for a cup of coffee and visit. Later after church, breakfast with Chuck Wood, who first introduced us to Calvary Temple, and now prays daily for you children to come home and for Star Scott to repent and restore our children. I have known Chuck and Linda for 40 years. He came and prayed for your gramma Eileen when she was dying of cancer. They didn’t create division between my family and myself. On the contrary, they became friends of my catholic parents.<br /><br />I love you. Come home and see us. Call and text. And bring your families. We all miss you. </p><p>Love, <br />Mom</p>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11349093890250561318noreply@blogger.com
