    Jmac6301 11 hours agoNadia's Lutheran Bishop told her to not speak to a woman who was physically, emotionally,and litigiously abused?

    She was told instead to endorse shamelessly the abuser and ignore the woman? Even hang upon her when she called her by phone out of desperation having been silenced and shunned byall of the middle aged white males in and around Emergent epicenter.....she asked her for helpand she said, "I will not engage in gossip."

    You are saying that Nadia was advised by her Lutheran Bishop to...

    "In response to the advice given to her by her Bishop, her Spiritual Director, and her husband (me), Nadia makes ita policy to not read any comments on her blog or on her Facebook page."

    Was she clairvoyant when she attacked commenters calling them people with "digitalpitchforks." She won't comment but she will publicly post a support letter of an abuser whothreatens at progressive "Christian" conferences to attendees how he would like to have his exwife murdered. THAT the Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Denver, Colorado supports? I don'tthink so.

    Doubt it. Bishop? Bishop of the Lutheran church in Denver, Colorado for the House of AllSaints and Sinners, are you REALLY supporting this sham and advised Nadia to remain silentabout an abuser when the evidence is overwhelming?

I have friends and colleagues who support ToJo. I don't know what the consequences will be if this gets traced back to me, but here goes: I met ToJo last year at a

    conference. Within about an hour of meeting him he made comments to me about wanting to 'murder his ex-wife' and wishing he had never had children. I knew nothing of his personal life at the time, but I remember being really weirded out by the intensity with which he said these things. He did not sound 'jokey.' It was disturbing. I handed my hosting responsibilities over to other conference volunteers after that and kept my distance from him. Even so, I had held out the possibility that I might pursue a partnership with JoPa on a future conference, but realized in January, when ToJo began his retaliation against Julie, thatI could not, in good conscience do so. I reached out to Julie privatelytwo months ago to let her know and to oer my prayers and support. Oneside note: I have also been asked to provide major financial support toa local NBW appearance in 2016. I intend to speak to the organizers of that event about withdrawing my pledge and to tell them why. Sorry for attempting to be anonymous about this, I hope you all understand.

    Jmac6301 11 hours agoShe never reads her comments....BS. That's why she attacked commenters calling thempeople with "digital pitchforks." And, what is this weird behavior of Rachel and Nadia havingtheir husbands swoop in to save them. Dear Lord, you just set the woman's movement back to1950. Nadia's a big girl she can speak up for herself and she has some serious explaining to doas to why she supports and in an over the top manner an abuser?! She is supportive of a manwho threatened to have his ex wife murdered? Yes, that happened and at a "Christianconference."

    CurtisMSP 12 hours agoSo when people reach out to Nadia for help on social media, she ignores them? This is on theadvice of her Bishop?

    Isn't it dishonest to not tell people this before they start reaching out, with the assumption thatNadia is reading?

    The honest thing to do would to turn o comments on the blog and on Facebook, rathercontinue with the deception that Nadia is reading them. Maybe you can ask what the Bishop'sadvice about deception is and get back to us?

    hikerrev 12 hours agoI recently received notice that the comments here, in response to this note Nadia has writtenabout a new book, have gotten quite numerous and by some accounts somewhat aggressive.Further, (having briefly glanced at only a handful of comments, I see that) there are some falseassumptions being made here as well as some inappropriate ad hominem attacks.

    I will, therefore, be disabling comments for this post.

    Please know that Nadia has not read any of these comments and does not know what's beensaid here. In response to the advice given to her by her Bishop, her Spiritual Director, and herhusband (me), Nadia makes it a policy to not read any comments on her blog or on herFacebook page.

    However, the comments are occasionally reviewed (but not shared with her) by people wholove her, and in this case I have made the decision that there has been enough opportunity forfolks to weigh in. None of the comments, thus far, have been deleted by me or by Nadia. If anyhave been deleted, that has been done by someone other than this household andunbeknownst to me. Further, it is not my intention to delete any of the comments posted here... however, as this is my first time administering a Patheos blog, if I accidentally do so, pleaseforgive me.

    Peace be with you. 1

    hikerrev 7 hours ago> hikerrevGreat idea, KT. The link to this thread is now posted on the apology post on Nadia'sblog.

    And thanks for your reflections, Caryn. I honestly don't know when the general practiceof not reading or responding to comments started, but thank you for pointing out thetruth that many people expect that the poster is also paying attention to the comments.I'll talk with Nadia about whether or not it makes sense to put some kind if disclaimer inthe blog intro.

    Nadia is the Pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints, which is part of the RockyMountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I feel uncomfortableputting contact info here, but I'm sure you can track that down.

    As to the remainder of the conversation posted since the comments were taken down,I'd like to share that Julie and I have had a conversation with one another on anotherplatform, and I thank sincerely thank her for that.

    Further, please note that I won't be taking the time to track this conversation veryclosely over the coming days, so I ask that you not take oense if I don't respond to thisconversation.

    Caryn LeMur 9 hours ago> hikerrevHi Hikerrev:

    You wrote on Nadia's Blog: "In response to the advice given to her by her Bishop, herSpiritual Director, and her husband (me), Nadia makes it a policy to not read anycomments on her blog or on her Facebook page."

    1. When did this policy start? At what date did Nadia continue posting, but determinedto never read a comment?

    2. Whom is her Lutheran Bishop that gave such advice? May I have a name andaddress to write to him/her? [I believe that such advice, which is "OK to proclaim; butnot OK to engage", is counter to the gospel of Christ. So, while I may applaud theobedience of Nadia to her Bishop, I also wish to write to him/her and appeal his/herguidance to Nadia.]

    3. Please ensure that you also post in the Section above all future comments, "Inresponse to the advice given to her by her Bishop, her Spiritual Director, and herhusband (me), Nadia makes it a policy to not read any comments on her blog or on herFacebook page." You should do this so that people like me, that posted questions toNadia, will realize that she will never read the question (and of course, then neverrespond). In this manner, you will at least remove the appearance of deception (after all,blogs on Patheos are for dialog with the author, rather than just for simpleproclamations by the author).Sincerely; Caryn LeMur

    ONE REBUTTAL TO SUMMARY REQUESTED BY SOME HAVING TROUBLEWITH DISQUS [posted by "Kandace"]:

    I am not a lawyer. I assume that Kandace is not a lawyer.

    However, after researching the Digital Law Project, I am especially concerned that Kandace didnot mention that Tony Jones is certainly a Limited Purpose Public Figure.http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guid...

    A Limited Purpose Public Figure is someone that has thrust themselves to the forefront ofparticular controversies in order to influence the resolution ofthe issues involved."

    What has been discussed in these postings (on Nadias blog) are opinions. The subjectsdiscussed in these postings has been greatly encouraged by Tony Jones.

    Please consider just the following (there is more):

    Multiple times on his world-wide Internet Patheos Blog, Tony Jones thrust himself to theforefront of discussions concerning marriage, sacramental marriage, legal marriage, his owndecision to obtain a sacramental marriage (and 2 years later obtain a legal marriage). TonyJones also made public the diculty ofhis extrication (release from) his first marriage. [See especially his posts beginning 04 January2010.]

    Caryn LeMur 14 hours ago> Caryn LeMurPost 2 of 3:

    Tony Jones also published a small book There Are TwoMarriages and made it available on Amazon.com for world-wide purchase, wherein heextolled the possible non-bible-based virtues of obtaining two marriages in sequentialorder with great time between each marriage (the first having no legal binding; thesecond being perhaps 2 years later, and then conferring full Fed and State benefitsto the spouses). Thus, Tony Jones has thrust himself to the forefront of discussions concerning marriage,theology, church-sanctioned premarital sex, and pragmatic denial of Biblical scriptures[see especially First Timothy 5:8].

    A few times on the NakedPastor blog of 05 September 2014, Tony Jones thrust himselfto the forefront of discussions concerning spiritual abuse (one of the issues in theoriginal NP post), and the conduct of Mars Hill pastor Mark Driscoll. Tony Jones firstwife also responded on the same blog concerning mental and marriage abuse. On 16 September 2014, and in the above blog, Tony Jones stated, allthe court records in our divorce and subsequent legal activity are public.

    Anyone who really cared to know the truth would not have much trouble finding theentire story. I have nothing to hide, as those records paint a clear picture. Thus bothTony and his first wife arguably became limited purpose public figures in this area ofabuse (mental and spiritual), as well as concerning their own previous marriage. Please note that Tonys statement " I have nothing to hide" if it only pertained to publiccourt records (already not hidden), would be nonsensical. Their private divorce thusarguably became public fodder for public debate and opinions.

    Caryn LeMur 14 hours ago> Caryn LeMurPost 3 of 3:

    However, the most significant example by Tony Jonesshowing his desire to thrust himself to the forefront of particularcontroversies is this: On/about 27 January 2015, and by publishing a 12 page document on theWorld-wide Internet, Tony Jones again thrust himself into the controversiesswirling about his firstmarriage, to include the following areas in particular: (1) the status of his (and his first wife's) child custody; (2) whom initiated the divorce; (3) Tonys relationship with Courtney Perry (his second wife) prior to September2008; (4) Tonys relationship with Courtney Perry prior to divorceproceedings (which proceedings resulted in divorce from his first wife); (5) the allegation that Tony physically damaged his first wifes shoulder; (6) spousal abuse (in particular; later, in general); (7) alleged false reports by his first wife to law enforcement and child protectionservices; (8) Tonys payment of child support; (9) one particular arrest incident that involved his first wife; (10) one incident wherein Tony filed for temporary custody, which was denied bythe court; (11) Tonys diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder(NPD) and a (unstated) diagnosis given to his first wife; and (12) that Tony Jones never had an aair and never used the phrase spiritualwife [quick note, Tony uses the phrase sacramental wife];and closes with Tonys legal and media contacts.

    Dr. Tony Jones thus clearly confirmed his intense desire to keep himself as alimited purpose public figure for the purposes of allowing the world-wide publicto comment on his personal life, his theology, his marriage philosophy, and themany controversies and allegations concerning his first marriage to JulieMacMahon.

    Again, Kandice did not mention how Tony Jones has undeniably sought to be avery large limited purpose public figure. I amimpressed at the bravery of Dr. Tony Jones, and the amount of opinions anddebate Tony Jones has deliberately invited by virtue of his own actions.Sincerely; Caryn LeMur

    Gretchen 14 hours agoAs I read the comments I am struck by two things: 1) the talk of various individuals in ministryhaving narcissistic traits or full NPD, and 2) the number of times posts contain the words "theproblem is..."

    I realize I'm about to engage in a manor incongruent with the rest of the discussion, but this isdriving me NUTS and I need to say it somewhere...

    In my opinion, THE PROBLEM isn't a narcissistic/abusive minister here and there (though thatis indeed a problem), but rather that Christianity itself--or at least American Christianity--fosters, produces and maintains narcissism in its members. Worse yet, narcissism has becomeso woven into the fabric of Christian culture, particularly with respect to leadership, we aredrawn to and expect our leaders to demonstrate narcissism. Unfortunately, individuals withNPD have a number of attractive qualities we tend to want in our leaders. As a community,somehow we need to find a way to know/ remember that charming, engaging, provocative,"edgy", sarcastic or otherwise dramatic

    Nadia: if you did delete those particular comments, please explain why?

    I was hoping you would not go the way of Rachel Held Evans, now famous for her'hiding' comments on her FaceBook Page. Yes, she used her husband to do the dirtywork (or, her husband asserted his authority over her ministry... we do not know).... butthe message to others was "Your voice does not matter to me."

    "Open rebuke is better than hidden love." If you disagree with the postings concerningX subject, then use the tool of 'open rebuke'. Please do not disgrace our Lord Jesus byhiding comments.

    8th grade, in 1970. It was an amazing moment.

    I changed slowly over the years. Being from a military family, I knew of loyalty, rank,followership, and discipline.

    But it was from Christians (my wife, Bonnie and a Christian school teacher) that I began to learnof gentleness, kindness, and being patient with others. I learned forgiveness, how to releasepeople into the loving hands of Jesus, and move on with my life.

    Guest 19 hours agothen this...an actual death threat goes unchecked by feminist Nadia our "host"

    I met ToJo last year at a conference. Within about an hour of meeting him he made comments to me about wanting to 'murder his ex-wife' and wishing he had never had children. I knew nothing of his personal life at the time, but I remember being really weirded out by the intensity with which he said these things. He did not sound 'jokey.' It was disturbing.

    itsallasham 20 hours agoAnyone bringing up Julie's family and the wealth present there is channeling ToJo and his circlebecause that's all that guy ever talked about when they were married. That and his need tomake at least 100k/year to support his lifestyle (which is apparently not working since hisparents own his home). Take the personalities and history out of it and you get this: a self-fulfilling circle of narcissists who wirte jacket blurbs for each other's books, sit aroundcomparing publishers and advance fees, and really really poor theology that has led morepeople to idol worship than made any serious contribution to the future of the Christian church.What HAS been helpful about the emergent movement? It has shown the evangelical churchthat it is not God's great gift to mankind either and has helped many people leave behind theabuses of power and spirituality they experienced there. But leave no doubt about it, I don'tgive a rat's behind what you think of who said what to whom and who filed what aboutwhatever... the sum of these people's lives is what they can earn and how often they can getothers to pay to hear them speak and then pay more to let them hang out with each otherbefore and afterwards. You want to dent this thing? STOP GOING TO THEIR CONFERENCESAND BUYING THEIR LAME BOOKS. You want to help Julie? Stop inflating egos to the pointthat no one is listening to the voices of reconciliation, confession and absolution. I'd even sayDavid, et al should pause the whole thing too everyone who needs to know the truth nowknows it. There will be a few suckers who pay for the pleasure of Tony and Nadia's companybut if you all stop going then what movement are they really leading? Nadia has sacrificed herrole as a public leader for this lucrative friendship and her failed comedy career made way forfawning legions of NBW-ites but after you've heard the same talk a few hundred times you will

    Alan Molineaux 19 hours ago> itsallashamThe problem is that this isn't just about TJ and his income. It is about the misuse ofpower by church leaders.

    I don't care what he earns. I don't really care if people want to buy his books or listen tohim (other than the eect upon the church)

    I do care that the church hears the voice of the abused and has the chance to learnlessons from things like this.

    I am not sure that suggesting David should 'pause' does anything but support thestatus quo: namely let's the powerful maintain their power.

My lawyer before he withdrewcounsel because I owe 20k said, "His lawyer Simon Troutman is teeing upthe next lawsuit for lost wages." NPD's are MONSTERS they will neverquit fighting to control the narrative. I will be here giving real timeaccounts of each and every litigation. Two weeks ago Simon Troutmanand his client lost in court. They attempted to gag me and prevent mefrom ever posting my story. They brought in reams of blog posts from 3rdparties like this as exhibits. He brought 6 witnesses including Jay Bakker.In a paraphrased nutshell the Judge said, "Get out of my courtroom fool."Simon said, "We withdraw our motion." If looks could kill....I wasmurdered by the expression on my ex husbands face. Make no mistakethis is lawfare and he has deep pockets and a triple digit book advance toattack me. Again, I hold the truth and I stand strong and confident in it.

My friends and family are burnt out on thisdisgusting story and I stopped talking about to them long ago. THEY allknow about the NPD and various abuses. I speak out now because it isWRONG for "Christian leaders" to harbor an abuser.....even prop him upwhile refusing to acknowledge the carnage in his wake. ANYONE with abrain knows that an NPD diagnosis is enough to stop them in their tracksand believe my story. Then coupled with all of my evidence that wasprovided to bloggers and reputable prestigious institutions and then theyacted and spoke out boldly in my support...this happened and ishappening now and in real time. I'll give you an example of an NPD inaction this morning. My son was upset. He wants to go to environmentalcamp. I am strapped for pennies and $175 is not something I cancasually write a check for. My son was told by his dad that, "Your momhas to pay for that." I emailed the teacher and explained that they need toask him as I know he recently got a VERY hefty book advance. I copiedhim and he shot back, "I'll pay....I never said I wouldn't." Sadly, the onlyway to co-parent with an NPD is publicly. They ONLY care about theirpublic persona. This is what I deal with on the daily. I have become andexpert on NPD and hope to help others co-parent eectively. The publicimage is paramount to everything. I use that to try and get my childrenwhat they need.

    Guest a day agoKandace? Your "thorough" analysis is missing the part about a diagnosed narcissist withsadistic traits and pathological lying. Two weeks ago when a judge literally said, "you can goahead and waste my time but you have no credibility in my courtroom and I suggest youwithdraw." Why? Because judges understand what an NPD is. Your analysis skims over thatlynch pin to understanding the entire story and why it looks this way 7 years later. You and BBand Drea and Michael never want to discuss that part of the story, I wonder why that is?

    Curtis suggestion not to continue to ask questions of McLaren, Pagitt, Barnhill, Julia Doughty,Stollar, Sargent, etc who post allegations or supportive statements. They have public profilesthat say whether they are local to MN anyways. And its been pointed out there are orgs, legalparties, and reporters with more expertise than me to research this complex story.

    Unfortunately, Nadia chose not to respond to questions, although its public shes known Tonysince approximately around 2007 and has spent time with him thru those yrs during manypublicly referenced projects, events, and aliations. Based on their publicly knowninteractions, it appears she knows Tony & his current wife well, but does not know Julie. Juliehas stated she and Nadia spoke on the phone once. In this call, Julie has claimed Nadia saidshe refused to gossip and hung up.

    I also disclosed that I do not know Tony or Julie personally. In addition, CurtisMSP was notcomfortable disclosing whether he has real-life connection at this time. David Hayward has notyet responded to questions about whether he has a real-life, in person experience with Tony orJulie. Someone asked me to publish a summary of the comments since as Julie and Timpointed out Disqus & Patheos do not seem able to handle 800+ comments.I will do that in areply to this post although I suspect these posts will be censored soon. The main thing is thatmost of us feel like weve added enough to this conversation if Nadia is not comfortable addingher thoughts.

    found Julie and Tony filed an equal amount of motions & Tony had never been chargedw/a crime or w/failure to pay child support while Julie did have a criminal charge.Juliereminded Michael she has alleged police bias in that arrest due to Tonys former stint asa chaplain He also noted that the courts felt Tony was safe enough that they awardedhim partial custody so he has the kids on weekends, which he claimed they wouldnthave done if there was credible reason to believe Tony was an abuser. Julie admittedgoing to a Mexico resort recently after people donated for her legal fees, butemphasized she traveled cheaply. Dee from TWW also clarified at least one donor hadspecified they wanted Julie to relax and do something for herself. The consensusamong everyone was that single moms deserve vacations. :) Julie also explained thatshe leased one car and is trying to sell the second car she acquired for the nanny shehad last year but no longer employs due to financial diculty.

    There were concerns about anonymous commenters: bothconcerns about their fear of posting in what they perceive to be a hostile climate andconcerns about whether some might have impure motives or unrevealed connections.While some anonymous commenters identified themselves more freely over email,George and Drea raised the most questions from users overall. BB was also questionedfor his tone, lack of tact, and for using what Tim pointed out was not a given name andothers called him a sockpuppet. It was brought up several times that there might befake commenters infiltrating the conversationdue to the number of new and/or private Disqus profiles being used. Others cautioned itwas unfair to try to dismiss those who disagree with you by claiming they must be allfake and therefore not valid. A couple people also questioned my identity and asked meto provide personal information beyond what Id already shared and I declined to do so.David Hayward briefly entered the conversation and clarified that he does not considerhimself a supporter of Julie, but a supporter of safe spaces. He encouraged others thatJulie should be able to identify however she wants. After saying this, David was askedto comment on the profit he makes when he asks people to buy his artwork orsubscribe to his online church in his many posts about Julies allegations. He has notyet responded to that.

    Several people tried to guide the conversation away frominvestigating the people who post allegations often. Others were concerned this groupwas then trying to silence question askers. Ultimately for most of this thread, those whoopposed investigating allegation-posters did arm the right of everyonepresent to ask questions they felt were relevant. There were times of exceptionespecially when Julie and BB were arguing back and forth when people on both sidestried to silence others as it admittedly grew less civil. Julie had identified she was fromEdina several times, but clarified she lived in a section of Edina near governmenthousing. Later she voiced concern that people might know where she lived and said shewould contact the police and the web host to have any information related to thisremoved. Julie and an unnamed Guest also posted a link to a claim on another sitewhere an anonymous person claimed

    that just an hour after meeting Tony for the first time at an event last year, Tony allegedlysaid he wanted to murder his ex-wife.

    Julie identified herself at times as Guest and at times as Julie, but she explained herlogic for doing this was so the comments could not be used against her as she felt thepost could be part of an organized setup to gather information for a defamation suit. Idlike to thank Leslie Lea who calmly entered as the comments were heating up andasserted it was headed in the wrong direction. Julie voiced her appreciationfor Leslie and shared about her faith and how her friend had a prophetic dream abouthow Tony would drive their family into darkness which Julie believed has come true.

    With this, I am signing o and releasing myself from my original intentions at the adviceof others here. I wish you all joy and peace and healing.

So ifsomeone wanted to try to submit or subpoena any of these comments for Tony'sside, Julie could merely stand up in court all on her own and request that IPaddresses be submitted as well. That way, the court can see exactly who sentthese comments and from where.

    Anonymity online is a fiction when it comes to producing documents and the likeunder court order. Just saying.

Let us commit to notbuying any Christian book by any author for six months, also commit to not going to anyChristian conference for six months. Even homeschooling conferences. Instead let us spendour time and money on doing what Jesus did. Visiting the homeless shelters, women'sshelters, jails, etc, etc. we may learn something and we may be blessed. Let us stop spendingmoney on foolishness written by people who are in it for the money. Let's stop being sheep.Sorry about the preaching.

    Guest a day agoI held tight to the dream that God would move the mountain and it would be good and peacefulfor my kids. I understand now that because of the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorderwith sadistic traits that will never happen. I truly must pay for speaking the truth. I am thenarcissistic target and his life obsession is taking me down. I said it to him and I'll say ithere....he's got the wrong marine. I think God wired me with a little extra justice gene and I willcall out abuse wherever and when ever I see it and loudly. It is doubly toxic when it is fromalleged representatives of God.

    Guest a day agoThat is my question...where is God in this? Every year at Easter time for my kids I send a letter.An olive branch begging for peace and forgiveness. Begging for the litigation to stop. I used toask him to repent but that is out of the question. This year I didn't bother. He has surroundedhimself with enablers and he cannot hear God or anynone but himself speaking into amicrophone most likely to adoring fans. For my children I have this dream of peace and civility.She is worse than he....she doesn't even know me and treats me like I am a leper and in frontof my children. It is the farthest thing from good or holy. It's evil.

She hada dream that his pursuits of Emergent "were a darkness and that it will harm youand your family." Wiser words were never spoken. He told her in a rage, "Barb,you have no idea what you are talking about!" Actually, she did. I tried to speaktruth into his life. I knew he was going down the wrong path.

    support ToJo. I don't know what the consequences will be if this gets traced back to me, but here goes: I met ToJo last year at a conference. Within about an hour of meeting him he made comments to me about wantingto 'murder his ex-wife' and wishing he had never had children. I knew nothing of his personal life at the time, but I remember being really weirded out by the intensity with which he said these things. He did notsound 'jokey.' It was disturbing. I handed my hosting responsibilities over to other conference volunteers after that and kept my distance fromhim. Even so, I had held out the possibility that I might pursue a partnership with JoPa on a future conference, but realized in January, when ToJo began his retaliation against Julie, that I could not, in goodconscience do so. I reached out to Julie privately two months ago to let her know and to oer my prayers and support. One side note: I have also been asked to provide major financial support to a local NBW appearance in 2016. I intend to speak to the organizers of that event about withdrawing my pledge and to tell them why. Sorry for attempting to be anonymous about this, I hope you all understand.

    Annie Banannie a day agoEvery time I want to take a Michael type seriously, there's a Kandace type, or even worse a BBtype, who goes largely unchallenged by the entire tony supporting contingent.

    Really no one supporting Julie has acted that threatening or nasty, none of us have even beenparticularly sneaky other than not always using our real names. Sccl is what it has always been:raucously, raunchily, critical of those who harm in Jesus name. Julie is as she has always been,passionate, over sharing, fairly consistent.

    Kandace is trying to whip up something where there is nothing. BB is outright threatening. Butyep, some detail quibbles are where this story is at, certainly not 5-10 fake accounts oozing outof the woodwork to slam, harass, and doxx Julie.

    campaign" all of it. NOT ONE would help me. They shunned and silenced me. Thisdisplay by BigBrowner and a slightly more subtle Kandace is what I have endured since2008. Why? MONEY! Book deals, minor xian celebrity status. They all endorse eachother books and go to the same events. It is the antithesis of Christ-like and yet it goesunchecked. A diagnosed NPD is controlling the narrative however I refuse to shut upand will keep speaking the truth forever.

I am furtherconfident as my lawyer told me that Simon Troutman his lawyer is trying to build a case for"lost wages" thus Kandace's over the top obvious questions about that issue. This runs deepand wide and tragically an NPD will NEVER give up. Oh, no he will fight this until there isnothing but scorched earth. I did call the police and will make a report tomorrow bringing in mylaptop. Using my personal information and my 80 year old widowed mothers maidenname...that's low even for an NPD and his enablers. My address? Seriously, you people arepond scum as my dearly departed father coined his ex son in law.

    scare people who ask questions about it, but I think we know that's perfectly okay withyou. ANYONE READING, read all the comments. Anyone who comes on here this manytimes trying to get other people to stop asking questions is hiding something and onceyou start reading, you'll see exactly what it is.

    BigBrowner a day agoREAD THE COMMENT THREAD and judge for yourself. Don't let Julie scare you away with herdozens of comments and fear tactics. Use your own judgment. No sane person is going toread everything that has come out here and all the holes that have been exposed and Julie'schange of identity every fifteen minutes and her conspiracy theories and think "That soundscompletely true." YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF NO FAVORS and EVERYONE knows it.

    AnnieOly a day ago> BigBrownerAs someone who has read about this story in passing on TWW and Naked Pastor, andthinks RHE and NBW have had and still have valuable things to say, and as someonewho has never commented on this subject and doesn't claim to know 'the answer' afterreading through much of this thread I am willing to say this: you, 'BB', come across likeone arrogant, classless, nasty SOB. You are not doing your side any favors whatsoever.

    BigBrowner a day ago> GuestIf you really thought there was some big conspiracy and people were collectingthis, you would know that people would be screencapping your every move. YouDONT really think that. You're using that to scare people away from questioningyou. You are full of it.

    Guest a day ago> BigBrownerActually, BB. My abuser uses every word. He shows up in court asrecently as two weeks ago with reams of paper crying slander,defamation, sue her! so, fact....not conspiracy. He lost BTW. In fact theJudge said, "no credibility."

    Guest a day agoI wonder why BB won't engage me in dialogue. He does his drive by lies and I refite each andevery one and then he runs away. BB? Let's chat. See, the thing about the truth is...it helps yoube incredibly confident and you have peace that you have nothing to hide. I have a wealthybrother in law so I must be rich too?! Are you hearing your own silly logic?
