Some Thoughts


When and Why?

As I read Wayne Bent’s ”Mentally Challenged” 43 page letter, I thought
“WOW” ALL the name-calling and 4 letter words, he must be full of resentment. All the things that he accuses me of, I think he must be looking in a mirror. I felt sorry for him. He says that he wouldn’t go hurt anyone. Well, it is too late for that. Wayne has hurt many people.

I want to address a few things that he talked about I will keep this as short as possible:

I will address the first subject with a question.
If you quit eating on purpose, and you die, is that suicide? I remember when he fasted till he walked through the prison walls. Jeff was boasting about not paying the bail one day, the next day he runs down there with the $55,000 to bail him out.

Wayne talks about how respectful they are. I have NEVER seen a bunch of people in my life that are SO disrespectful and unreliable. They try to covers up their disrespect by pretending to care for you and, saying sir and ma'am. Through the years I often wondered about some of the things that “we” would do as a group. We would start a job, and Wayne would call a meeting and off we would run. Then we would say, “I warned them that I might not be able to finish the job, Oh Well!” It is not uncommon for them to make fun of and laugh at anyone less fortunate than himself or herself. I have watched and participated in these things, I am truly sorry, and my heart didn’t feel right about it.

Wayne boasts about how he loves and understands everyone… and especially the parents. Wayne has NO IDEA what the parents are feeling. He said that the parents abandoned the children there. I will only make one point here. Two of the children were going to see their grandparents for a short time, and Rick Bergman picked them up. He took them to NM, and they were supposed to come home to their mother after their visit. BUT Rick wrote a blackmail letter to the mother, and told her that if she didn’t leave them there he was going to cause her some trouble. Oh, and not buying oranges is child abuse? Wayne thinks it is.

They make big deals about people changing their phone numbers and not telling them. BUT when Pam asked for a phone number to reach her son “Matthew” when he lived at Strong City, the response she got from Jeff was something like, “Why don’t you go down to the phone company and order him a phone and pay for it then you can call him whenever you want, and why your at it… order everyone else one too. (That is Jeff at his best) They don’t think about anyone else except themselves. Oh, and Wayne said that he allowed them to contact their mother anytime they wanted. That is why “Matthew” was always emailing his mother begging her for phone cards so he could call her. When she has free long distance and could call him at no extra charge. Once in awhile he would use his grandma’s calling card that was bought by her “heathen” daughter.

Wayne said, “The beast would be utterly embarrassed if it only knew how little I care about its authority.” For some reason, I don’t think anyone is surprised at how little Wayne cares for authority.

Wayne also talks about how he takes care of everyone so well out of the “common pot” Is that why Judy Halstead’s teeth are rotting out of her head?

Why did Prudence leave? When did she make up her mind to leave? What was the catalyst that led her to call the State Police?

It was in the fall, and there was a meeting called one Friday night. We lived in Raton NM. It was about 75 miles from Strong City. We had not gone to many meetings since it had been suggested that the families with evil kids leave. We rushed out there. It was supposed to be some sort of a camp meeting. It was traditional that you drop whatever your doing and run to meetings. I remember the look on my mother's face when she saw me that night... The look was “oh you made it your going to be saved after all” We had a couple of people invite us to stay at their house; I just wanted to go home. We didn’t know that it was going to be a series of meetings that would last several days…. And we were not prepared. We went home and came back the next day.

I was standing on the front porch of the main ranch house. I could hear “Esther” in the kitchen talking to someone. She said, “I don’t know what is the matter with the Welch family, the kids are always getting hurt. I walked in and asked if my ears were burning. She did some back peddling. It kind of surprised me, because she was ALWAYS getting hurt.

Then I was sitting out on the Rock Wall eating my lunch. When Tonda (Matthew’s sister) came up to me and started telling me something about my family that wasn’t even correct. I asked her where she got her information. She said Esther.

We went home that day after the last meeting. I started feeling all stressed out. The next day there was more meetings. I decided I wasn’t going. I told Jim, “I am not doing this anymore” So that was the last meeting I was at.
That was a couple MONTHS before I got a divorce.  Several MONTHS after my divorce, I got a boyfriend. I don't think that one boyfriend makes you a whore

10 months after I left (Aug 2006), I was forwarded an email that Wayne had sent out. In it he was trying to make everyone guess what the newest vision was. I knew immediately what he wanted to know. I was really surprised that only 20 of them “got it” He was planning on having sex (consummating) with the virgins. Everyone was supposed to go talk to him and tell him that. I was laying on my bed thinking about it wondering why no one was doing anything about it. It came to me that I was the one to do something. So I called the State Police. I wasn’t angry, NO ONE had said anything about my EVIL lifestyle. I had not been called a Whore yet. I hadn’t even gotten an email from Wayne since I had left. (Dec. 2005) I felt that what he was doing was wrong and I wasn’t going to sit back and not say something. I NEVER denied that.

After I called the State Police Wayne got ANGRY with my sister for emailing me the letter he had emailed out. AFTER that he started hammering me in letters that he would send to people. (NOT TO ME) Then in July 2007 I started a website that had His Virgin’s Testimonies on it. It grew from there. After I started my website, he started emailing me manipulating letters. He was trying to control me by his words, but since he didn’t have control over me anymore… it didn’t do any good.

So my point is. Wayne said I was offended because they were condemning my lifestyle… That wasn’t even true. If they were condemning my lifestyle, it was behind my back. The truth is Wayne got offended because I called the state police when he started laying naked with underage girls, then I started a website publishing some things that he really hadn’t made public yet. He knew he had done some REALLY wrong things. So NOW he is trying to make me look bad so he can look good…. Which he hasn’t been successful yet!

So know you know the when and why I left. I did go into detail about my personal life on my forum for those that are interested.
