This info came from a post in the first part of this located a few post below this one. Rex previded us with this link here is part of an articale written by Peter Hoover. You may read the whole thing by clicking the link, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Anabaptist_Seekers/message/2987?viscount=100.
This articale is very interesting, it put a diffrent light on the subject. This group believes Dr. Phil did not and will not give this group a fair report.
I don't know about that, however I am willing to learn more about this whole issue of this abduction. This is a very interesting case. I believe when you read this Peter Hoover story you will see that he and this group does not believe this was an abduction, if it is not then what else can you call it?
We do not expect people like Philip McGraw, people still “in the world and of the world,” to understand it to the full. We do not expect them to give us accurate or fair coverage in the media. We do not expect kind treatment on the part of worldly governments, or that the unconverted will help us in this great struggle for the Kingdom of Heaven.
All we expect, all we hope and pray for, is that we may live as quietly and peacefully as possible in our current surroundings (1 Timothy 2:2). And we commit ourselves to doing all we can to bring the troubles of the Hari family to a prompt and good conclusion.
Like Tolstoy said, “All troubled families are troubled in their own way.” This one is no exception. And we believe the first step toward ending their current distress is for all involved to recognise the parts we played in bringing it upon them.
On my part, I need to say that I should have paid more attention to Mike Hari, his daughters and their problems when he first started telling me what was happening. I should have looked into the situation more and made sure I knew the two (or three) sides to the story before I told him whatever I felt was best at the moment.
Second, I believe that Mike was living in a state of real need. His daughters were not getting educated properly, their housekeeping was inadequate, they were not getting their baths, having their hair washed, and their physical needs taken care of like one would expect. Mike did not have a good job or steady work, and even if he would have, he (as a single parent) could not have managed to see to everything that needed attention. Here I feel the German Baptist Brethren failed to assume responsibility in a Christian way for those they had taken into their fellowship. If they should really have shown themselves “brethren” to Mike Hari and his daughters (both Mike and Molly having become baptised several years ago among them) I believe this entire disaster could have been avoided. On top of that, I believe it now stands as a great shame before the world, a judgement on the church, and the fact that the Brethren (many of them remarkably well-to-do) can think of nothing better than to “wash their hands” of the case at this point does nothing to exonerate them in my mind.
