Reply #18: Can y'all just put your arms around her and tell her you love her?

I know I may sound like a loonytune...but just reading your post makes me feel very sorry for her. The church types have taken advantage of her sad vulnerability. Can you guys work out some sort of loving intervention? (Take her to a pretty place or just keep her with you for the weekend, long walks, lots of talk (patient, patient). Let her rant if she must, but keep coming back to the fact that you love and care about her. I believe that predator "churches" are very good at zeroing in on the needy. Remember the cult "rescues" that were all the rage a few years back? I think you need to perform a rescue here.
