WOFF Survivor Returns… No One Wins…

…we will not know. From the article, “In an earlier interview with the AP, Lowry said he fled after the church had confined him to a locked building on church grounds because he was gay. Lowry claimed that from August 2011 to November 2011 he was taken to the building and beaten and abused. He said it was all part of the church’s trying to cure him of being gay.” Except for the last sentence, this is the part of the story that was retold on this b…

Mark Morris has been reported as one of the leaders over the fourth building and was named in the original complaint of Mr. Lowry in February 2012. Considering that Mark Morris is openly endorsing you and one would assume you converse quite a bit, does Mark ever discuss the happenings in the fourth building…

…heard Rodney Moore, the WOFF juror on the first grand jury in the Michael Lowry case which led to Michael’s testimony not being heard in December; Mr. Moore took the stand to confirm Mr. Fields being hit by Jerry’s car. How credible was that? As mentioned, I did not stay for the duration and missed the closing arguments. I do regret that, however, I did have previous work related obligations and NEVER anticipated this trial to run as long as it d…
