Harumph - I dont see this video - It's not on YTube - where might I find it
EDIT: Nevermind - didn't think to look under Ms Kellys Videos - I am a TWJaniak fan on his own account
I will post it here for those as slow as myself:
Im surprised she let him speak so openly about Bree and Daniel. All of Ms. Kelly's vids are much more vague and cryptic.
I wonder what it's like to have a snowstorm in October...
*wistful sigh*

Trust is a good and noble thing particularly in friendships - it may be the most important thing in friendships - sometimes more important than truth. But there are also times within a friendship that you might need to intercede. Most intercessions come from friendship as well as love. There are times, and if a good friend of mine was involved in a destructive cult is one of them (although I am not saying that is what is going on here - Daniel reallly has no evidence of that), where truth may need to trump trust and love trumps all.
EDIT: Great Video TWJaniak - Rain may turn to snow - but you need a hat or you'll freeze your ears off.

Wow. All I could think about with that video was just "how the heck did I move the one year my old home would get buried under snow on Friday the 13th!"
I guess I have to wait for my snow...

It depends on what you feel is the correct form of the golden rule.
The original version, as stated in the Mahabharata, Confucius, Rabbi Hillel and others, runs along the lines of avoiding doing to others what you don't want them doing to you.
The Christian religion came along and spun this differently, in Jesus' famous version "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
The newer version is much more aggressive and can be interpreted as encouraging interventions. Intervention is always a dicey prospect -- in many cases, it is *obviously* necessary, as when an addicted parent is unable to care for their children. In some other cases, it is not quite so obviously necessary, and may in fact be unwarranted and intrusive.
Should a friend intrude based on vague uneasiness? What is a good and rational standard for intervention?
I think the key word here may be "Destructive". Vague uneasiness doesn't seem to be enough. If someone is involved with something that is clearly destructive to them or if they are hurting others, then I think an intervention is called for.
I have a friend who is involved with a group that I don't think highly of and am annoyed at how actively they recruit, but I can see that she is actually learning and growing from the experience. I don't see a need to intervene, I just hope she grows out of it quickly and stops trying to get me to join.
In Bree and Daniel's case, it's unclear as to how destructive her religion is. And I think Daniel is unclear about it as well. However she didn't look well in that last video.
