Hmmmm. It is interesting wording, and it could be interpreted as appealing to Jason directly. I don’t know. We can’t underestimate the pressure a minister’s son is under. I’ve seen it personally in my extended family and a close friend. This is why I initially had self harm pretty high on my list. It’s still on my list but not as high.
Surely the family has seen all the SM posts about that certain church just like we have and would have checked it out, right? If I were his parent I would have driven directly there and investigated the possibility myself.
But he could also be somewhere else completely. I just still can’t make the wreck, stripping clothes, leaving everything in the road make sense if he left voluntarily. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Yes, I’ve seen Kent respond on the page about the church and looking into it months ago.
If the wreck was staged is the only way it would make sense. Or maybe it wasn’t planned but the planned developed after the wreck. Maybe there was someone else following him, a friend, that picked him up and took him somewhere. Maybe he couldn’t face telling parents of the wreck and maybe other failures and left. I don’t know, maybe I’m grasping.
I’m going to compile a few posts from the page and see how it looks as a whole.
Ok, after doing so here are some thoughts of mine.
Case is still missing person- not criminal
Never have said foul play suspected
- Always put out statements that did not blame. Drugs and alcohol not a factor in wreck-LE
- Lots of kids experiment with drugs in college or something similar said by Kent in Brainscratch video.
- It’s just a stupid car- Kent
- Tell them you forgive them - Kent
- Overcorrected car possibly-LE
- Personal amount of drugs -LE (meant to show not dealing?)
If LE or PI’s suspected foul play, I think they would indicate that to the family at this point and I don’t see posts like what are currently being made fitting with that idea.
Where are you Jason? Please go home if you are able. Your family loves you so much.
Quotes below from family missing page, bolder by me. My thoughts in blue.
————————————————————————-
Celebrating the Birthday of Jason's big sis today. Happy Birthday Jessica!
(The picture of him showing affection. Such a loving family. Reminding him he is loved and missing a birthday.)
Your
friends will come and go, but you will always have your
siblings.
(Jason, your siblings will always be there for you. These “friends” will come and go, but there is a constant and that is siblings.)
Opening Day is around the corner. We so enjoyed watching the boys play baseball. One of the
best memories of childhood.
I walk down
Memory Lane because I know I'll find you there...
Jason (back in High School) and his
Nana. She just celebrated her
Birthday!
(One more person that loves him. One more birthday he is missing.)
Today is Day 100 that Jason has been missing. If you know something, please call law enforcement or the anonymous tip line (both listed above). But more than that, please hope and pray for Jason's
safe return. Because God is a God of Miracles
(Always talking safe return. Never giving up hope.)
Never forget that tragedies like this
devastate more than just the immediate family. The first
cousins of one side of the family. Please continue to pray and hope.
(Showing Jason how many people love him. People his age- family. Family that is devastated without him.)
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
(Also known as a doxology type prayer, possibly said as leaving church together as a congregation.)
Please keep praying and hoping for Jason's safe return.
"As a
mother comforts her child, so will I
comfort you" (Isaiah 66:13)
(Could be reminding Jason of his mother’s love but more importantly that the Father’s love-God-is compassionate like a mother)
"Children are a gift from the Lord" Psalm 127:3
(Reminding Jason he is a gift- nothing he can do changes that)
"And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister." 1 John 4:21
(I was baffled by this one originally. In the church brother and sister are basically each other- not necessarily familial brother and sister. Is he reminding Jason to love or reminding even their family to love everyone thru this that hurts them through the process?)
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity." Proverbs 17:17
(Literal or what? Shown with a pic of brothers. I imagine it could be difficult if you had a successful brother yet you felt unsuccessful? Is this a reminder that brothers are here and made by God for adversity?)
Where do the years go? Remember the good memories.
Take a moment to tell your kids that you love them.
(Showing regret, I didn’t tell him enough I love him. I want him to know I love him. Jason, remember the good memories, there were plenty.)
