Comment: That's not the point

That's not the point. This wouldn't have been a reason to actually *say* it. They could have just done it and kept quiet about it.

The only reason -- save blackmail -- I can imagine for putting it out like that would be if they had wanted to refrain their own followers. Which would mean putting themselves in the way of the movement they created -- or at least catalysed. That's not a very good sign.

Anyway, I pray you guys will find the strength to carry on and stand strong. It would have had to come to that ultimately, of course, but it seems still very early to me. We'll see. Best wishes from Europe in the meantime.
