About TM's mom... my heart breaks for her... especially because she had to take a stand with TM about his behavior. Moms always feel like we could have and should have done more. I understand her pain and her inability to be reasonable about this situation. What I DO NOT understand is those who are playing on her pain to enhance their own agendas.

The mom, dad, and their lawyers have been awesome throughout this process. They have always advocated for peace no matter what happens.
I also agree about our hearts breaking for her loss. However what some people don't seem to understand is that hating her loss and what she is going through is not solved by erroneously convicting someone of purposefully killing him when they did not.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
