esther, praying to jehovah for grace and strength for your family. remember, “greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.”

love

And who are any of you to say that we have not done such through our work? Do you know me? Do you have the work we have done? Do you know Joy?

Anyone has any questions give me a call on my cell at 928 499 7962 and I will be willing to talk to any person here with questions (i just ask that they adhere to a respectful tone of communications and ask that the same be done here esp with regards to people you dont really know) about what OVF is and my role in it.

Also you can reach me at my public OVF email jeff@onevillagefoundation.org. Of course both have been shared above.

Lovely hearted girl…I am praying and asking others to as well…this is clearly an attack and your father needs some outside help this time for he is not himself. I have had to do intervention before and it is not easy.

I am very sorry for these events and KNOW that I pray as the spirit prompts-for all your siblings in this matter!
XO KK

So if I can interpret your take on the situation, you think that Arne WANTS to follow Joy and her beliefs and his children are getting in the way?
And once he gets through this stage, everything is going to be sunshine and flowers???? You seem to enjoy writing in riddles. To get to that “place” he should become obsessed, mistreat his family, totally change his behavior, get thrown in jail, and have ups and downs like his family has never seen???? You call this love? And it will lead to something positive?

Esther, ta hand om dig.

This morning, I am willing to admit that I have embarrassed myself in opening my gormless big mouth too often for comfort. I broke the reserve I called on everybody on this blog to observe in my comment to the previous post. And I inserted in the conversation a concern dear to me, but not relevant to this blog. I regret and apologize to you, Arne and Joy, for having allowed myself to be carried away. And I apologize to Esther for having given her to think that I was intent on high-jacking her blog.

To show something for my penance here goes the tale of Arne’s Travels to the Far-East:

Arne is the able entrepreneur from Zinder into whom Joy has sensed the seed of sanctity. At Most Venerable Master Abbot XXX’s behest, Arne boards a plane for the Far-East to retrieve Buddha’s teachings for Africa. Joy protects guileless Arne on his journey.

Lively and passionate E, reliable brother F and compassionate sister G join in on the pilgrimage. Along their journey, they defeat hundreds of demons and goblins who prey on handsome but helpless Arne. But lacking Arne’s commitment to the transmission of the Law, they also cause him much trouble and grief. They eventually come around. In return, they will receive enlightenment and forgiveness for their sins.

Two to sixteen years later, depending on his devotion, Arne eventually brings back the Teachings transmitted to him by the Most Venerable but last Master Abbot XXX of temple XXX. On Taiwan, the Teachings will go the way they did in centuries past in Afghanistan, India or China. But back in the Sahel, lotus flowers will bloom in Arne’s hallowed footprints.

Those are the lines along which the tale of Arne’s travels to the Far-East will be enshrined in the family lore. Presently, the narrator – creative Esther, not yet aware she is journeying on the palm of Buddha’s hand – has us, eager readers, befuddled and hapless.

Now ! The dragon…, where does the mythical dragon comes in? “

Fingers crossed, I promise I will say no more.

They seem to share drumming, IT moves, and?

If your father was acting in a radically different way and changed as much physically and mentally as Arne Garvi, would you walk away from him? If Joy was interested in having a long term realtionship with him, why would she avoid meeting his family?
And if she is truly an honorable person, where is she in all this?

and Jerome, your quote (posted above) is pretty interesting. If all this adventure makes you sick, why do you keep coming back for more?

Esther’s readers have enjoyed nothing but peaceful posts with gorgeous photos and text. Because we are interested in Eden and learning more about Niger, we continue to tune in. The last thing we expected to read about was this.

Would any of you really want to listen to people disecting you, when you know darn well, that they are all wrong, and you are right?

I don’t think so.

At least, I would not, I would honestly try to make them all understand what a gift I am for Arne, and make the family accept me. This would be much simpler that playing this game of hide and seek.

I think it is human nature, that in the face of some of these “accusations”
one would want to come clean, or prove, that not a word is true of all of this.

She could do that without loosing an iota of pride, if what we are talking about is not true, that would be the easiest to prove it, starting with the ever questionable amulets.

Joy had over 2 weeks for this, since even before the whole party flew from Berlin to Taiwan - there were questions, they were the amulets, there was the change in Mr. Garvi’s demeanor. There was the difference in his looks.

We do know (there is proof for that in Miriam’s blog) that Joy is reading the blog, if not doing even some other things with it - alas I am not that computer savvy - but Freeborn is questioning already the integrity of Esther’s blog.

So what gives? I agree with Lori Skoog - this needs to be adressed on a different level for the family, to make her understand, that the family is not about to leave Arne in her questionable hands.

Heck, I am not about willing to leave him there, and I am sure this is true for all of us, who got to know this family.

Out of the two parties, one of them is wrong, one of them is not true. Is Joy going to step up to the plate and take her responsibity?
