A thousand Thank You's!!!

In this thread, you also answered two questions I've been wondering about for a long time!

you too?

im still having some pinching and things going on but should stop soon.

I'm having a hard time getting started on a testimony I was asked to write, concerning lies and deceit by a family member that thought they had it all hidden. We knew all along, but they didn't know that we've been aware of it for some time now. Now that it's all come to light, and been exposed, the person that was in the wrong went to a lawyer and had papers sent to specific people, "to stop them from slandering them". They are not about to admit any wrongdoing on their part, it's everyone else's fault for causing them problems.

Unfortunately, they have convered up their lies and deception, with more lies and deception, to the point that they truly are not able to distinguish fact from fiction.

It's very sad, because not only is it affecting them mentally and emotionally, but the kids are in the middle of it all.

I have to write a testimony that will be going to court, about what we've known. Come to find out now, the entire town has known, and everyone was either afraid to get involved, or were afraid of the reaction of this person's mate if they told them the truth.

In preparing to write the testimony, the word discernment came to mind, and it fit right in here.

It sounds off topic, but I think every one of us need to test for what is truth, and pay attention to what we are being led to learn for ourselves.

What Newport said is important- everyone can dowse for themselves. Just saying that though, there are going to be people that are going to automatically think "but, I can't dowse accurately", and that doubt, disbelief, whatever it is, is going to continue to keep them from even trying. Believing what other's tell you, without testing it for truth for yourself..what word am I looking for? Scary is what comes to mind. Easily able to be deceived.

This is a small example of what I am talking about..to test all things for yourself--

>>I ran Trichinosis and got some big and extra strange hits. Never knew they were related to Paragonimus Westermani.>>

Are they? Someone said that, so it must be fact? Test all things for yourself.

This Pandora's Box that has been opened up in our personal lives, probably wouldn't have gotten to this point if people were able to face the deception and lies, with truth and honesty. It sure is going to be a much nastier mess now, before it get's any better.

My hope, is for healing for all aspects of this person's life- mental, emotional, spiritual, physical. Denial kills. It's not in anger, nor blame, nor pointing out this person's wrong doings. The choices they have made, have put them on a pathway of self-destruction, not only affecting themselves, but the kids as well. This may be a chance for them to admit it, and get off that pathway- but, if not, that's their own choice too. In that case, they will no longer have their kids with them.

Pretty serious crap we're dealing with personally right now. Very sad when it's someone close to you. The more a person squelches truth, the easier they are to be deceived.

Test all things for yourselves.
