Sorry for the long hiatus. I've had a big move to a place with a sometimes good/sometimes crappy internet connection, and got a new job that has been keeping me busy.
Thought I'd try out my webcam for this entry.
Mercy in the news:
Australian Today Tonight report.
They prayed to cast Satan from my body.
They sought help, but got exorcism and the Bible instead.
God's cure for gays lost in sin (apparently Mercy clients are not allowed to hug each other or form lasting friendships within the program out of fear that they will become lesbians).
Other links of note:
Sean the Blogonaut's Mercy Ministry entries (contains personal stories of Mercy victims).
Mercy Survivors blog.
Mercy victims tell their stories (youtube audio).
Coffee for a Better Cause.

Just to let you know. I'm a Mercy Surviour meaning I'm Rhiannon Canham-Wright and the girls that have been kicked out of mercy have come together to bring hope to others that have been kicked out of mercy that our lives are NOT what Mercy has said it would be like. Myself and Naomi and 'Megan' had came up with this idea that we can surpport the other Mercy Surviours that had been kicked out or chosse to leave Mercy and come up with ways we can kind of kick them out of our lives for good. that is why I'm a Mercy F*@king Ministries SURVIOUR!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your surpport!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the support. I ex-Mercy from the US. Just so you know, Nancy Alcorn is the "mastermind" behind the organization, Peter Irvine is just one of her disciples.

Guess it seems I'm gonna have to put out a video about her.
I heard that she used to work for Teen Challenge, any links to info about her.
I messaged you on youtube, have a tonne of stuff for ya
Oh great sage, thanks for posting on MM. More awareness might result in some action being taken in other countries
for information on Nancy, look on the US site "Mercy Ministries of America" there is a section titled "our founder." There is a timeline and also a radio interview where she spews a bunch of crap. She always tells the same story.

Damn. O_o
Such disgusting hypocrisy.
I mean, I knew the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement had pretty much gone to hell in a handbasket, but I didn't know they'd gotten THIS bad.
Yecch.
I quite enjoyed this video and found it to be very informative. One thing I could suggest for next time though would to be writing a script beforehand to read off of to keep your pauses to a minimum. We would barely be able to tell you were reading them anyways as you wear those sunglasses.
I am a former resident at a US home, and if anyone were to ask me about the most difficult time of my life, it would be when I was at Mercy (3 months). I am all for outing them. Keep up the good work!
