I am feeling quite distraught as now the mother of one of my daughter's best mates is hosting an MTI "information session" on Saturday.
Makes me feel physically sick.
Yeah it’s very upsetting
I remember reading about the mortifying experiences James Hetfield from Metallica had as a child in his church.
They were Christian scientists...those who believe only God must cure without assistance from medicine or healthcare providers.
So one day in his Sunday school a girl stood up and gave her testimony about God healing her broken arm. He said that he stared in horror at the twisted shape her arm had taken, yet she believed her arm looked exactly as before.
So I have family members who have bought ridiculous cars, bling, etc with their mti “yield” telling us how God has provided for them in their time of need...and every time they show us how beautiful their newest piece of unnecessary bs is, all I can see are mangled arms and old people’s pensions.
It’s come to a point now where I am not sure if I want to allow them into our house anymore, although I know (you have to know these people to get it) they believe it’s legit. Honestly, I obviously want justice to be served and reality to sink in, but those 2 aspects are somehow not the main reasons I cant stand to be around them. It’s the chilling, stomach churning horror story of being around the bling they bought with other’s last-hope money. The “mangled arms” they refer to as their “blessings from God”
