12/26/11 Another Christmas has come and gone…
So many families had an empty space at the table again this Christmas as a
result of the cult, The Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission. Shame on anyone
and everyone associated with this group. I’m betting the cult members had
family dinners, opening of gifts, etc., with their loved ones. Yet because of
them, many other families are denied this simple pleasure. Conversely, I
know that while some cult members had their family dinners, it wasn’t the
same for the non-cult family members who have suffered as great a loss as
have I. While they can “see” their loved ones, those loved ones aren’t the
people they used to be. The loneliness and the heartbreak is the same as
my family’s heartbreak.
Please keep all families affected in your prayers and let’s bring on 2012 with
renewed vigor toward facilitating changes re: this cult.
Kyo baby: This is far, far from over.

10/17/11 Outstanding!!!
I was thrilled to read this story: http://www.nytimes.
com/2011/10/15/us/kansas-city-bishop-indicted-in-reporting-of-abuse-by-
priest.html?_r=1&src=tp&smid=fb-share. It’s about time we call these bishops
out. Hiding sex abuse is tantamount to doing it. Period. Get them out of any
and all positions of authority (the bishops). Get the perpetrators OUT, period.
Same goes for cult-related situations: get the priests OUT if they’re involved.
If a bishop does nothing, get HIM out. Continuing to allow cult members to
hold positions of authority in the Catholic Church? Insane.
What you won’t stand for says more about you than what you DO stand for.
Don’t tolerate this nonsense.
Reminder: God Willing Oct. 29, 2011
I’m showing the film, God Willing, again Oct. 29 at the Dubuque Star
Restaurant in the West Mezzanine room from 1-3 p.m. There will be no
charge for the film; donations will be accepted to assist with royalty fees.
Thanks~

9/30/11 Another Showing of God Willing; Another Family Member
Meeting re: LHTBM
I’ve scheduled another family member meeting for Saturday, October 8 from
1 – 2:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Dubuque Star Restaurant in
the West Mezzanine room. There is no charge for the room; however, it
would be nice if everyone or most of us ordered a soda or coffee.
I’m also showing the film, God Willing, again on Oct. 29 at the Dubuque Star
Restaurant in the West Mezzanine room. With colleges in full swing and mid-
terms coming up, this is a prime recruiting time for cults (times of stress and
change). There will be no charge for the film; donations will be accepted to
assist with royalty fees.

8/28/11 Family Member Meeting re: LHTBM
Thanks to everyone who attended the family meeting yesterday. We had a
great turnout with very good discussion. I’ll schedule another meeting in a
month or so. I’m tentatively looking at Oct. 8. Check back here for location
and time details. I’ll have photos, etc. at the next meeting.
What is my greatest issue with this cult, aside from the lack of
communication issue? It is that it’s contrary to the core Christian belief that
we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and that scares me for
my niece and anyone else who has been led astray.
You do not need to say the cult’s prayer 12 times daily to be saved. Nor
must you do any of the other ludicrous things. Just remember that.

8/10/11 Family Meeting re: LHTBM
Thanks to everyone who attended the God Willing showing. We had a
great crowd ~ much larger than I expected. Special thanks to Mindframe
Theaters for giving us the theater that morning – high fives, indeed!!!
Please continue to patronize them.
Several families requested a family discussion re: LHTBM so that will be held
on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2011, from 1 – 2:30 p.m. The discussion will be at the
Church of the Resurrection in Dubuque. I’m not sure yet if it will be in the
social space or the upper room, so check back here or email me. Please
spread the word to ex-members and/or anyone who has family members or
friends in this cult.
Please mark your calendars and save the date.

6/1/11 God Willing
I’ll be showing the film, God Willing, at Mindframe Theaters in Dubuque,
Iowa, July 23 at 9:30 a.m. God Willing is a powerful documentary about
families whose children turn their backs on them to become “brothers” and
“sisters” of a secretive cult (Jim Roberts’ cult), renouncing their past lives
and the world, often without ever turning back.
There will be no charge for the film, but donations will be accepted. I’ll need
to pay the producer in order to show the film.
Everyone is welcome; I encourage LHTBM members to attend, also. This
would be great for college students, as well. Please spread the word.
Even if you don’t have children or family members in The Love Holy Blessed
Trinity Mission, you will appreciate the parents’ efforts in this film. It’s not
long – only 73 minutes. I found it both gut-wrenching and thought-provoking.
After the showing, there will be time for discussion.
Mindframe Theaters is located in the former Kennedy Mall Cinemas building.
There’s a coffee shop that offers a nice variety of drinks and treats.
Please mark your calendars and save the date. Additional information will
follow.
Thanks~

4/24/11 Happy Easter
On this day – the holiest of all in Christianity – I wish everyone a happy and
blessed Easter. Please remember those families that are broken because of
this cult (The Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission). This is the sixth Easter
without our Juanita and I know it is just as long for several other families. It is
for them as much as my niece that I do this.
I called LHTBM’s non-communication center (773.745.0011) on Juanita’s
birthday (April 18). Again, as always, I heard: “God’s blessings. You have
reached The Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission. If you'd like to leave a
message please do so after the tone and someone will get back to you as
soon as possible. May God bless you.” For the record, no, they never DO
get back to you.
This marked the sixth birthday Juanita's family has been denied access to
her. I should clarify that family members in the cult can and do, of course,
see her. However, the majority of us – as well as her friends – are not
allowed to see her or talk to her. I'm acutely aware this is her choice but
again, her choices are manipulated. (That’s the politically correct way of
saying she’s brainwashed.) This is basic Cult 101 and there is nothing
significantly different with this cult than with other cults.
My message to Juanita is that I love her and hope she thinks of her Mom
and Dad, as they're the ones who brought her into this wonderful world.
Contrary to the cult's teaching and preaching, earthly families DO matter -
they ARE important. It's unconscionable that Joanne and Jim can't talk to
their daughter. Always, always, there's this nonsense from Marilyn Vogt that
"if Joanne would have a change of heart." WTF? Those freaks don't know
what's in Joanne's heart nor does she need to prove anything to them.
What is my greatest issue with this cult, aside from the lack of
communication issue? It is that it’s contrary to the core Christian belief that
we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and that scares me for
my niece and anyone else who has been led astray.
Kyo: This is far from over. Meet with me for five minutes. Any time. Any day.
You don’t have the guts, do you? Same goes for the Vogts. Bring it.
Donna
4/18/11 Happy Birthday, Juanita
Today is Juanita’s birthday. I hope she has a wonderful day and deep within,
senses the need/desire to contact her Mom and Dad. This is the process,
after all, that God created. I know the cult is all about alienating oneself from
one’s earthly family, but if you look at it logically – as one should – it’s not at
all the way God planned it. Think about it. Pure and simple. Oh, that’s right.
Kyo knows better than God. NOT.
Kyo: This is far from over. Meet with me for five minutes. Any time. Any day.
You don’t have the guts, do you? Same goes for the Vogts. Bring it.

There's nothing like a road trip to Chicago. Great day Saturday - met with

mirror?!

2/14/11 Justice – Finally – Maybe – Hopefully!
A Catholic Church official in Philadelphia has been charged with failing to
protect kids. It’s about time. It’s about freakin’ time we start nailing these
bastards. (Monsignor) William Lynn was not accused of molesting children
but of endangering them. He put two known pedophiles in posts where they
had contact with youngsters; at least two boys were sexually assaulted by
these “priests.” See http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/10/three-
philadelphia-priests-teacher-charged-with-sexually-abusing-boys/?
iref=allsearch for the full story. I’ll be watching this case very closely; Hanus:
you know why. So does Cardinal George in Chicago. Priests carry a sense
of credibility to many (certainly not to me!!!); it is abuse of that credibility that
is unconscionable.
Donna
01/30/11 Freaks
So Joanne sent a Christmas gift to her daughter, dutifully sending it to the
W. Diversey, Chicago address provided by Marilyn and Dick Vogt, and it was
sent back to her. Lovely. It’s bad enough she can’t see or talk to her
daughter but seriously, Marilyn? C’mon. Now, we all know the communication
center is NOT such; to the contrary no one knows what mail these women
(pseudo nuns) are allowed to receive. But a Christmas gift…? Good grief!!!
Kyo baby: this is far from over. I’d love to meet with you any time, any place.
Call me: 563.650.4716…
Marilyn and Dick: likewise. But you’re as afraid as Kyo is, aren’t you…

01/22/11 Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is
regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
~Sidney J. Harris
I love this quote and apply it to all areas of my life. If I see a wrong, is there
something I can do? With regard to this cult – about which so much is VERY
seriously wrong – there is much that can be done. Let your parish priest
know you won’t tolerate having cult members on the altar. Let them know
you won’t accept cult members in positions of leadership in the church. Oh
yeah. It’s there. Hanus knows it. Are you going to tolerate it? I would hope
not.
On a different note, another Christmas has come and gone and still, so
many families are separated from their loved ones because of this insidious
cult. It has been well over five years since my non-cult family members have
seen my niece, Juanita. My sister, Joanne, had a birthday this month and of
course, not a word from her daughter. Many other families are in the same
boat; the Spielman family is not alone.
Kyo baby: this is far from over. I’d love to meet with you any time, any place.
Call me: 563.650.4716…
Marilyn and Dick: Happy 2011.

Below are recent photos taken by "The X-Factor" in Illinois. My thanks go out
to him. I anticipate having more in the near future.
(Click on photos to enlarge.)
(3/18/10) Cowardice, continued…
Hmmmm… The Catholic Church is still having problems with the sex abuse
scandal. When will it end? WILL it end? The Church has continued to hide
wrongdoing and not be forthcoming with such things. Brazil… Ireland…
Germany… In my opinion, the same is true of the Church re: this cult. These
members should have been excommunicated long ago but due to the
cowardice of the Church, they have not. There are priests still involved and
the Bishop of Dubuque knows it but does nothing. But that’s the way of the
Church, isn’t it? They turn their backs on things or sweep them under the
rug – then they don’t exist…how very sick of them. How very cowardly of
them. I cannot imagine being a part of the Catholic Church knowing the
deceit it perpetrates. Am I a believer? Oh, my, yes! But I pray to God, the
one true God, not some priest, not some pope, and certainly not Kyo baby. I
am saved by the life and death of Christ Jesus, period.
Speaking of cowardice, I know of no one more cowardly than Kyo. She was
afraid to show up at the Belvidere hearings and in fact, was afraid to show
up at many other events. Sure, Dick Vogt said the reason was she was
being persecuted but we know better. That’s a cop-out; that’s another way of
saying she doesn’t have the guts to be seen and take a stand. That’s why
the cult’s retreats are hidden, etc. (well, they think they are). Anyone proud
of his or her faith simply could not be privy to attending a retreat or meeting
in a “secret” location. Indeed, this cult is all about that. I could go on and
one, but that’s for my book. Very simply, if you can’t put what you’ve done or
where you’ve gone on the front page of a paper, you shouldn’t be doing it or
going there.
That my sister and brother-in-law have stolen my niece from her family – and
also destroyed other families along the way – is simply unconscionable.
They, too, are cowards. Marilyn Vogt was not raised that way, but sadly, it is
how she lives today. See below how Marilyn calls my work number to see if I
will be out of the office. C'mon. Cowardice. Pure and utter cowardice!!!
My primary concern remains: LHTBM is contrary to the core Christian belief
that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Salvation is not
about how many rosaries we do or do not say, nor is it about the ritual of
saying certain prayers 12 times daily.
Kyo: My message for you and your cultic followers remains the same: this is
far from over.
I promise to do a better job of updating this page and thank all of you for
your e-mails.

(2/16/10) “Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice.”
Amen! When I saw this quote today, I immediately thought of the Catholic
Church. I believe the bishop et al are waiting patiently for the cult members
to leave the cult and rejoin the Catholic Church. Nonsense. It’s not going to
happen. Their allegiance is to Kyo, not God, and certainly not the Catholic
Church. But the bishop has taken the easy way out; it’s much simpler to
proclaim a need for patience that it is to act on cult members’ defiance.
These cult members should be excommunicated for ignoring the bishop’s
warning. Instead, they’re given positions of authority – imagine that! It’s
sheer and utter cowardice on the bishop’s part. Action from him is long
overdue. But then, if we look at the history of the Catholic Church, well…
Totally different subject: I was thinking of one of my favorite songs today:
Indiana Wants Me. Hmmmmmm…Kyo? Jan? Dick? Anybody?

(04/21/09) My kind of town, Chicago is…
Saturday was my niece’s birthday. It was a bittersweet day as I took another
road trip to Chicago. My, my. It appears the cult members have sandblasted
Kyo’s mansion (yes, this is the woman who filed bankruptcy in 1993) and
that part actually looks quite nice. (Time out: Is that house and property not
of this world? Oh, yeah, baby. But I digress.) My goodness – the
trees/greenery! How pitiful. How absolutely pitiful. Clearly they’re trying to
build a fortress where Kyo and Lenny and their culties can live without being
seen by the outside world. As you can see in the below photos, the trees are
planted several deep and the yard looks horrible. One can only imagine
what goes on behind those closed doors.
(Click on pictures to enlarge.)
Please remember all families that have been devastated as a result of this
cult and keep them in your prayers. Also remember God has empowered us
to change things – that’s amazing and we must continue to act against this
cult. I know I will.
Kyo: this is far from over.

Hmmmmmm…..veddy interesting, indeed. Dubuquers ~ please keep
your eyes and ears open!
- Marilyn and Dick Vogt’s condo on Valley Forge apparently has sold.
I've been watching this for some time and noticed it’s no longer on
their realtor’s website. They’re moving to another condo in Dubuque
but I’m sure they’ll be spending lots of time in Chicago. Me, too. Oh,
and Wisconsin. The cult is very fond of Wisconsin, also.
- Cult apologist/member (Fr.) Tom McAndrew is celebrating his 50th
anniversary as a “priest.” See http://www.arch.pvt.k12.ia.
us/Witness/PDFs/goldenjubilees.pdf. Yeah, right…I personally do
NOT consider that man a priest. He told me once (in Belvidere, IL) that
I’m not a believer. I told him I certainly AM, but I certainly DO NOT
believe in this pitiful cult! And still, Hanus does nothing…
[McAndrew with other cult members DIck Vogt, Marilyn Loewen and

you know why. So does Cardinal George in Chicago. Priests carry a sense
of credibility to many (certainly not to me!!!); it is abuse of that credibility that
is unconscionable.

So Joanne sent a Christmas gift to her daughter, dutifully sending it to the
W. Diversey, Chicago address provided by Marilyn and Dick Vogt, and it was
sent back to her. Lovely. It’s bad enough she can’t see or talk to her
daughter but seriously, Marilyn? C’mon. Now, we all know the communication
center is NOT such; to the contrary no one knows what mail these women
(pseudo nuns) are allowed to receive. But a Christmas gift…? Good grief!!!
Kyo baby: this is far from over. I’d love to meet with you any time, any place.
Call me: 563.650.4716…
Marilyn and Dick: likewise. But you’re as afraid as Kyo is, aren’t you…

01/22/11 Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is
regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
~Sidney J. Harris
I love this quote and apply it to all areas of my life. If I see a wrong, is there
something I can do? With regard to this cult – about which so much is VERY
seriously wrong – there is much that can be done. Let your parish priest
know you won’t tolerate having cult members on the altar. Let them know
you won’t accept cult members in positions of leadership in the church. Oh
yeah. It’s there. Hanus knows it. Are you going to tolerate it? I would hope
not.
On a different note, another Christmas has come and gone and still, so
many families are separated from their loved ones because of this insidious
cult. It has been well over five years since my non-cult family members have
seen my niece, Juanita. My sister, Joanne, had a birthday this month and of
course, not a word from her daughter. Many other families are in the same
boat; the Spielman family is not alone.
Kyo baby: this is far from over. I’d love to meet with you any time, any place.
Call me: 563.650.4716…
Marilyn and Dick: Happy 2011.

Below are recent photos taken by "The X-Factor" in Illinois. My thanks go out
to him. I anticipate having more in the near future.

(3/18/10) Cowardice, continued…
Hmmmm… The Catholic Church is still having problems with the sex abuse
scandal. When will it end? WILL it end? The Church has continued to hide
wrongdoing and not be forthcoming with such things. Brazil… Ireland…
Germany… In my opinion, the same is true of the Church re: this cult. These
members should have been excommunicated long ago but due to the
cowardice of the Church, they have not. There are priests still involved and
the Bishop of Dubuque knows it but does nothing. But that’s the way of the
Church, isn’t it? They turn their backs on things or sweep them under the
rug – then they don’t exist…how very sick of them. How very cowardly of
them. I cannot imagine being a part of the Catholic Church knowing the
deceit it perpetrates. Am I a believer? Oh, my, yes! But I pray to God, the
one true God, not some priest, not some pope, and certainly not Kyo baby. I
am saved by the life and death of Christ Jesus, period.
Speaking of cowardice, I know of no one more cowardly than Kyo. She was
afraid to show up at the Belvidere hearings and in fact, was afraid to show
up at many other events. Sure, Dick Vogt said the reason was she was
being persecuted but we know better. That’s a cop-out; that’s another way of
saying she doesn’t have the guts to be seen and take a stand. That’s why
the cult’s retreats are hidden, etc. (well, they think they are). Anyone proud
of his or her faith simply could not be privy to attending a retreat or meeting
in a “secret” location. Indeed, this cult is all about that. I could go on and
one, but that’s for my book. Very simply, if you can’t put what you’ve done or
where you’ve gone on the front page of a paper, you shouldn’t be doing it or
going there.
That my sister and brother-in-law have stolen my niece from her family – and
also destroyed other families along the way – is simply unconscionable.
They, too, are cowards. Marilyn Vogt was not raised that way, but sadly, it is
how she lives today. See below how Marilyn calls my work number to see if I
will be out of the office. C'mon. Cowardice. Pure and utter cowardice!!!
My primary concern remains: LHTBM is contrary to the core Christian belief
that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Salvation is not
about how many rosaries we do or do not say, nor is it about the ritual of
saying certain prayers 12 times daily.
Kyo: My message for you and your cultic followers remains the same: this is
far from over.
I promise to do a better job of updating this page and thank all of you for
your e-mails.

(2/16/10) “Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice.”
Amen! When I saw this quote today, I immediately thought of the Catholic
Church. I believe the bishop et al are waiting patiently for the cult members
to leave the cult and rejoin the Catholic Church. Nonsense. It’s not going to
happen. Their allegiance is to Kyo, not God, and certainly not the Catholic
Church. But the bishop has taken the easy way out; it’s much simpler to
proclaim a need for patience that it is to act on cult members’ defiance.
These cult members should be excommunicated for ignoring the bishop’s
warning. Instead, they’re given positions of authority – imagine that! It’s
sheer and utter cowardice on the bishop’s part. Action from him is long
overdue. But then, if we look at the history of the Catholic Church, well…
Totally different subject: I was thinking of one of my favorite songs today:
Indiana Wants Me. Hmmmmmm…Kyo? Jan? Dick? Anybody?

(04/21/09) My kind of town, Chicago is…
Saturday was my niece’s birthday. It was a bittersweet day as I took another
road trip to Chicago. My, my. It appears the cult members have sandblasted
Kyo’s mansion (yes, this is the woman who filed bankruptcy in 1993) and
that part actually looks quite nice. (Time out: Is that house and property not
of this world? Oh, yeah, baby. But I digress.) My goodness – the
trees/greenery! How pitiful. How absolutely pitiful. Clearly they’re trying to
build a fortress where Kyo and Lenny and their culties can live without being
seen by the outside world. As you can see in the below photos, the trees are
planted several deep and the yard looks horrible. One can only imagine
what goes on behind those closed doors.
(Click on pictures to enlarge.)
Please remember all families that have been devastated as a result of this
cult and keep them in your prayers. Also remember God has empowered us
to change things – that’s amazing and we must continue to act against this
cult. I know I will.
Kyo: this is far from over.
