I have been raised in a lovely atmosphere. I like it and I think that it’s the best place for a child to grow up in. Of course I haven’t had the perfect life, but I’m still convinced that I’ve had the most wonderful childhood I could ever ask for.

My mother died when I was a girl and that wasn’t the easiest thing in the world for me, but I’m not bitter. I mean, what’s the point of staying lost in your past?

The thing I want to say is this: I love The Family, and if you don’t than just stay out of our way! Jesus died for me and the least I can do for him is be persecuted, but I still don’t think that’s a reason to go butting into people’s personal choices of paths!

For goodness’ sake! Who was more innocent than Jesus, yet who more persecuted? The enemies of Jesus in his day accused him of all kinds of things. They said he had a devil in him and that he was crazy. It does not surprise me that our enemies of today accuse us of many similar things. I believe there are other people out there that share the same feelings.

There is no other place I would rather be, then where I am now. How can the apostates accuse us of child abuse, then turn a blind eye to the many other kinds of abuse, including child abuse, that is going on in their society?! Do we look or sound abused?

If there’s anything that I want to say in this message is that I LOVE THE FAMILY! I love Mama and Peter. There’s nothing wrong with that, because they’re both great!
