I think Naomi and the other girls who went on TV are very brave. I however still believed that maybe if the staff saw me achieving post mercy I may be eventually considered good enough in their eyes. Has any Mercy girl recieved a payout and no it is not enough for the lives they distroyed!!! I know I have regained contact on Facebook with a few of the girls I "served time with", any others out there I hope you are all healing over time xxx I was in MM for close to 2 years, I was even sent home for a period of 6 months as I became to physically ill to be an active participant in the program, though was still expected to do phone councilling and tape series whilst away and also while in hospital.

It took me a really long time to be able to begin to verbalise what happened to me in the home. And because i had been so brainwashed about what slander was, about what the will of God was etc, i found it extremely confusing and difficult to speak out at first too. I think i am still overcoming some of that. It might help for you to read a book called "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse". It switched on so many lights when i read it and it helped me understand why i felt so confused. Just know that Mercy's will is not God's will, and Mercy's judgment is not God's judgment. This may take awhile to understand. Jill, so sorry to hear you’re afraid to speak.

I'll pray for these people!!! Hopefully the next ministry is correctly managed. Who owned the property that was recipient of $100 000 in donations used for renovations just prior to closing down and going on the market for 2+M dollars?

Do they get the money from the sale of the land/home??? I think it should go to the girls. I am furious that they only get $1,050 when a lot of the girls were in Mercy Ministries between 6 and 12 months. They lost between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on the length of time there!

]]> Comment on Exorcism books revealed by Jill http://www.mercysurvivors.com/2009/08/12/exorcism-books-revealed/comment-page-1/#comment-1103 Jill Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:42:03 +0000 http://www.mercysurvivors.com/?p=75#comment-1103 I comletely agree on receiving royalties from the "Exorcism Book". I did kind of figure out how it works. I mean how to exorcize someone. First you get a person who is struggling with something that has come to you for help. Then you get a group of your friends together and hold that person down. Then you start "Praying in tongues" loudly and yelling "The Blood of Jesus" "Come out you demon" etc. It doesn't have to be Biblical, just say what you want to. If the person moves, HOld them tight and say, "Quit fighting demon or spirit of.... (You can make up whatever you want to call the spirit)". If the person tries to talk say< "Shut up you demon or spirit of...). After about 4 or 5 hours when the person becomes too tired to respond, a calm will come over the room. That is when you start telling the person they are set free and it is up to them to stay that way. This will make the person feel bad if they are struggling with the same issues, but they will also feel guilty and will not bug you about it again. Then WOW You are set free from that person's problems. Oh and they can go ask someone else for help, but they will not say anything bad about you because you are a woman of God and if she goes agains you, she might as well go to hell.

I wonder how many girls experienced the wrath of Nancy when she was mad. I'll bet they could not imagin living with her. I am always afraid to approach people in my church now because I'm worried that they will reject me or not have time to even say hello. Fortunately, I take that risk now and I'm never ignored. That is what it is suppose to be like. I can't believe I stayed away from church for so long because of Mercy. Hummm isn't that the opposit of their claim? I truly would not have anything to do with an organized group because I was worried that I would be tricked, trapped or held down and prayed over. I wonder how many other people killed themselves after leaving Mercy, like our former house mate. It is crazy. I'm glad your posting on this too. I was so glad to hear that I was not the only one experiencing bad dreams after 20 years. Thanks for posting. Prisoner,
