Maybe she’d sprinkled a little something extra on them (like CV’s protein shakes).
Thinking she's so dang smart.
She's insinuating that she has redeeming qualities.Green Chile chicken enchiladas![]()
Or that her Tex Mex does. She can fold Satan into a taco, don't you know?She's insinuating that she has redeeming qualities.
This is a very serious trial, but...
LVD blames Tylee for the fighting in her household in 2019. She blames the Law Enforcement and EMTs who tried to save Charles. Now, LVD is putting blame on her brother, Adam.
She has a gift for manipulating facts to make herself the victim.
As I've discussed before, the church is a very unusual thing to anyone who isn't raised in it. On the one hand, it looks very conservative, conformative, vanilla. And it is. At the same time, it is a religion with its roots in tent revivalism, folk magic, divination and treasure hunting. The church has always had a foot in both worlds. The official doctrine is one thing, but every congregation I had contact with growing up had an undercurrent of herbal medicine, energy healing, personal revelation and visions, dream interpretation, and commonly held 'extra' beliefs that you won't find anywhere in official church doctrine but persist, regardless. Lori's cult might seem wild, and it is, it's resulted in at least four murders, but this 'coven' of hers is something I can look at, knowing the doctrine and culture of the LDS church and understand exactly where it came from. It's harder to explain to outsiders, but as someone born in church, the steps are pretty clear to me.It is so odd to me that these women who have been included in the gathering, but who are alert to practices that violate church doctrine and/or differ materially from typical group prayer or the like, still participated in these "castings" despite their discomfort with them.
I cannot imagine doing that. This kind of stuff would have had me headed for the door with ANY excuse to get the heck out of there.
The argument in the house was because Lori would not give Charles his phone back.We don't really know if she grabbed the phone while in the house, do we? It's just as plausible that Charles simply left the phone in the car. Maybe they'll have some phone data that shows when it was being used and whether she accessed it during the drive.
YES!!!!It is so odd to me that these women who have been included in the gathering, but who are alert to practices that violate church doctrine and/or differ materially from typical group prayer or the like, still participated in these "castings" despite their discomfort with them.
