That's a good question. I
think not only does she believe the beliefs she does wholeheartedly...and the beliefs developed over time. What might have been greed, control, and constant need of stimulation in the past that grew into her cult beliefs and "preparing" for spiritual warfare. The charges against them, imo, might have been something they "prepared" for and she's ready to stand firm in resisting that they mean anything to her spirtual self.
Yes, I am aware it doesn't matter what she believes - a crime is a crime. And I know a jury doesn't need to understand her beliefs to convict her. But it does matter if she is unable to defend herself because she doesn't WANT to understand the earthly ramifications of the charges against her, and if she is prepared to never understand.
I'm thinking if they force treatment/medications, she will sue and then the whole thing will be tied up with that. I hope not, of course.
jmopion atm.
