So what would you do if your kids disappeared? What would you do if you never were able to see your grandkids again? Of what if you never ever saw your grandkids – you know your children have kids – but you have never seen them?On the other hand – later in life this new family will age. These grandkids will grow old and have health issues of their own – with the possibilities of these health issues trailing back to grandpa and grandma – the people that they have never met.
Kidnapping is a horrible thing. In most countries it is treated with immediate responses from police forces. It is a parent’s worst nightmare. One can only imagine the horror of the sudden loss of your kids.
What I am writing about is worse – it is not kidnapping in the sense of the law. It is “familynapping” – whole families disappearing from sight and sound – ripped to pieces by someone or someone-s that you know nothing of. Your kid is there one minute and gone the next – never to be seen again.
What kind of monster could do this kind of thing?
I want to make it clear with this post – there is a growing group of religious whacko-s in our country. They are extremists to the max. They are dangerous in that they split families down the middle. They think they are interpreting the Bible in their actions – but they could never be more wrong. By doing what they do they have destroyed generations of relationships.
Real Scenario One…
My friend has been active as a pastor, evangelist and church leader over the years. He is just a few years younger than me. He is still active in ministry today. But he has a huge hole in his heart and family.
His only daughter fell in love with a young man. The young man was from another denomination but a fine Christian man. They were delighted with this dating and also with the growing relationship. The kids married. There was no sign as to what would happen next.
Suddenly they were informed that their daughter would no longer have anything to do with her parents. It was her decision – they were told. Her deep love for her husband was without question. He on the other hand took issues with her father the minister. He had a different interpretation of the scriptures. Accusations were made about her father’s control over her life and that this control was a form of spiritual bondage. The new husband would now offer his new wife all the guidance that she would ever need. They would no longer be over or ever have any contact with her parents! It was over.
Yes – this is true! It is a “spiritual kidnapping”. It is from the Pit of Hell. I could never condone what has been done in the name of Jesus! Jesus help us! God help us! Some one help us… PLEASE!
This minister and his wife will never see them. There are also grandkids that they have never seen.
Their “son-in-law” however connects with his parents all the time. So the grandkids do have grandparents.
But there are no laws against this kind of spiritual abuse.
If this was in an Islamic Country under a very different set of rules, rites and laws – you would expect it. But this is Canada and the USA. It happens hear and now… and more and more.
Real Scenario Two…
The couple are friends of ours. The lady is soon to be 80 years old. Her husband has been suffering different ailments for a number of years. Together we attended the same church and I was directly involved with their kids over a number of years.
Their oldest daughter perhaps more than all the youth I had in the youth group was deeply dedicated to her parents and God. She graduated from Nursing as an RN. She also attended a theological school as well. She then met the man of her dreams. They fell in love and married.
You can now repeat the same story over as Real Scenario One – above. Right down to words used and actions taken. But the geographical areas are vastly different involving Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta.
Our friends are without their daughter for many years and have never seen two grandkids – EVER. Attempts by her siblings to make contact and talk with her were treated as suspicious and disallowed by her husband.
This ongoing… today… not the early 1800s… not witch craft days… not some spooky era when a monster like Hitler was loose. This is 2009 – and the freaks roam and destroy families – without any opposition and no legal interference.
No these are not the Nutty People with multiple wives and children from one man… Not “Bountiful People”…
These are from Pentecostal and Baptist and other Evangelical type churches. They are from respectable families and things are done from respectable family/community members.
And they are dangerous – very dangerous.
One common thread…
One thing that is the same is also is the spiritual fervour and zeal. These new young fathers are into the prophetic realm. They get messages from God. God doesn’t speak to the rest of the world like he does to them. They are connected – DIRECTLY to the Throne Room of God.
In one setting I attended a little while ago I watched the husband of the young lady from our youth group work the crowd. I had not expected that he would be at the function we were attending.
Yes he “worked” the crowd. He went from people group to people group in the audience and spoke words over different ones.
In our quasi Pentecostal world we have had this kind of abuse for many years. Little men become Big Men with the use (and abuse) of God’s power – or so they say it is.
He has firmly established himself as “voice of God” for a whole group of people that listen with captive minds to “what God would say to them”. This dude is a modern day side show.
This dude also kidnapped a young lady that was close to her dad and mom… too close for the dude’s liking – now they are gone.
Have you ever wondered why some people stop going to church? I certainly understand.
God help us all!
