Enpäs tiennytkään että sokru on noin kiinnostunut parinvalinnasta!
Ja kaikki mitä kirjoitit on tietenkin tutkijoidenkin mukaan varsin totta. Ja se toisaalla esittämäni väite pätee tähän vain osittain. Kyse ei ole enää normaalista laumaelämisestä, vaan psykologisesta terrorista ja alunperin haavoittuvassa mielentilassa olleiden henkilöiden järkyttävästä hyväksikäytöstä.
Mutta tuosta rikollisuudesta. Tämä Roch (on muuten noin, h-kirjaimella, kirjoitin alunperin väärin) on kyllä enemmän kuin vain "kriminaali". Hänhän on täysin seinähullu sadisti, jonka olemassaolo todellakin kehottaa pohtimaan ihmisyyttä (kuten Krabola esittikin). Noita geenejä on muuten syytä jo pelätäkin, mutta se on vaikeampi aihe, johon omat resurssini eivät taida kyllä ihan riittää. Voin tutkia.
Ja noista "kuumimmista misuista" voi tietenkin olla montaa mieltä, mutta jos katsotaan hieman pintaa syvemmälle, on Gabriellen historia jokseenkin surullinen. Että hän nykyään pystyy vastustamaan Rochia ja tämän kulttia sekä elämään tasapainoista elämää, on kyllä maailman suurin
The first question generally arising regarding sects is : "How can someone be naive enough to follow such an individual?" For starters, in her characteristic simple style, Gabrielle Lavallée offers us a large part of the answer by briefly relating her youth.
Left at the orphanage at birth by her mother who, with already ten or so children, could not handle more, Gabrielle was subjected to her first physical cruelty at that institution and learned nothing about love. Not much more when, at three years old, she was suddenly integrated into her family, her only "support" being an incestuous father who soon died of pneumonia. Left alone to raise her family in poverty, her mother demonstrated nothing but intransigence. And it is still with no knowledge of love, but in search of it, that Gabrielle enrolled in nursing studies, against her mother's will who wanted her to work.
She implicitly expected that by taking care of others, they would perhaps know how to return a little warmth. But faith made it so that the men she met were more interested in her physical attributes than to offer a little friendship. Led to imagine that love and sex were two reflections of one reality, she spends her weekends hitch-hiking towards Montreal in search of a new sensual affair in every passing car. With no false modesty, she relates in a clinical fashion why, among others, she even slept with a woman or with two Greeks at the same time.
Then comes Prince Charming. He is a diplomat, handsome, intelligent. He invites her to join him in Madrid to get married. In Spain, disappointement, he straightaway warned her not to expect him to remain faithful, it is not in him. Desperate, she leaves him and takes a train to Paris where she works at the American Hospital. In France, with time, things seem to be better, she becomes friends with a Norman woman and begins to visit Europe. But a detail bothers her, she realized that most of the medication prescribed to the patients only serves to stun them. So much so that with time, she came into conflict with her boss, to the point that she resigned. She is not long unemployed, we find her taking care of the son of a popular politician, then at a rich widow's bedside, who brings her to Switzerland. Her life seems to follow a quieter path, but on the way to Paris to meet her friend to go to the vintage, she is kidnapped an early morning by four men who raped her in turn.
We find her again in Mexico where she accepted the invitation of a businessman from Chicoutimi, whom she had met when she was in nursing school and whom she had already accompanied before. The man however was married and the affair disturbs her, so much that one day she leaves him for a Californian man, younger and more attentionate, who soon initiates her to drug trafficking. There she is, importing marijuana to the Calgary Stampede, going to Medellin and taking small planes in Central America. Then back to Mexico, the beach, the idle life, and a parasitic illness leading her to Guatemala for a cure - right when the hearthquake devastated the country.
Trafficking over, they settled in Los Angeles, California, where, not to depend on her companion who works for a NASA supplier, she dances in a cabaret. Fired because she accompanied a client to Las Vegas, she finds a place in another club - much less sophisticated - where she is asked to do lewd exhibitions. Break up with her companion.
She feels she has reached the utmost decay when she meets the owner of a pornography magazine who invites her on his yacht, then in his property in the back country. But she wishes to live by herself.
Barely better, in search of a meaning to her life, she returns to Guatemala to learn about plant medicine. That is where she meets the Adventists of the Seventh Day and, seduced by the way they see life, she adopts that religion.
It is during an Adventists Convention that, back in Canada, she goes to the Keswick summer camp. And just because she feels the need to speak French, she talks to a compatriot freshly arrived from Quebec, Roch ThŽriault.
She tells us that she was immediately subjugated by the man's eyes, then she relates in detail their first encounters - most times by moonlight. It is during one of these encounters that she happens to have strange visions, which ThŽriault will explain by asserting that he was charged with a holy mission. At first, we discover a kind man, good listener and always available. Gabrielle told him everything there was to know about her. After such a confession, and in a hurry to finally be of some use, it is easy to understand her haste in accepting his offer to enroll with his group of volunteers to teach people how to quit smoking.
As soon as the convention is over, she follows him in the Beauce region, in the company of a few others who will form the core of the disciples. We assist to the enrollment of new disciples and understand what attracts them in the lifestyle proposed by Theriault. Effectively, the first realizations are in all regards exemplary: free care for the sick and needy, anti-smoking classes which work; it almost seems like we are in Mother Theresa's surroundings, and these young searching people feel like they do something good. They begin to feel indebted to Roch Theriault who made them find this state. A couple even sold their house and belongings to give all their money to the leader and join the community.
:D:D
