She applied to my company, McNamara Properties, for a job. After many conversations , on the phone and by email, I felt she was a very sad and hurt person but did not know why.
When I questioned her re: her education and her background, she was very secretive about both. I was reluctant to hire someone who was not open to having people know about their past.
I told her it was important to me to know who I was hiring and I felt I would be indirectly responsible for any of my agents going into people’s homes and knowing about clients financial affairs, that I did not know well. Being someone’s realtor, you are in every room of their home, photographing their property, given keys to their homes, and intimate with their financial history.
That I only hire agents who I felt are very safe for me to send into people’s homes and give them advice on the value of their homes, have a lot to do with handling other people’s investments and be in a position to influence them in any way.
I had not gone into such detail with any other agent I hired because they had all told me more than enough about their lives, families, education and experience. For some reason this person was so very different.
I can’t explain it.
She was a single mom and when I asked how her children would be looked after while she showed home’s on weekends, holidays, etc…..she said she had a young woman living with her that had left Spinsale with her a couple years before, that was ober 18, but no relation, who would be looking after the children.
That sounded odd. Then, I explained that to start in a new city as a realtor she would need nearly a years worth of savings to start at earning nothing and build up to financial security.
She said she had been given money by (a head ) or the head of her church in Spindale because that person knew she would need $$ help for a few years. I thought that was really strange.
She said she had grown up mostly with her parents and siblings, but had lived at a church person’s home for a few of those years. Again, RED FLAG.
After 6 or more conversations, I recommended she try working in a large real estate office of a big company for a year or so (with a salary) until she learned the business or be a realtors assistant for part of the commission so she could learn more.
I was bothered for years when I would think about this young woman. Nothing was right. She was sad and seemed worried. Seemed afraid. Seemed suspicious of people.
I didn’t have a large enough company to give her what she needed so felt I did my best for her.
I did ask in one conversation if she attends church. Not because I cared whether she was Christian or any religion, but because of being able to do open houses on Sundays that the agent usually would have to be at the house with signs, balloons, cookies, lights on, house perfect…etc……because I had an agent who could not do that because of church. Her answer was, sort of, “I will never walk into another church as long as I live and neither will my children because I have very bad memories of church. ”
Wow!

I have had so many bad memories of that girl. Now after reading this blog and a few more on cults, it all came together when I saw the article on the church in Spindale NC.

I am certain there is a lot going on behind the scenes on Old Flynn Rd. these days. The picture raises a number of questions many of which you ask quite clearly! I myself personally wonder how Jesus is thinking if he has instructed Jane to attend through the clear communication he has with her through the Holy Spirit in all areas at all times. Maybe presidential pardons in the Fenner case? Only time will tell!
