NOTE: Many of our good friends from different places in the world are actively concerned about the cruel and ongoing chain of events  in Norway. Instead of me individually answering the countless letters, emails and other inquirys, as to the developments in this process, I have decided to publish this description amongst our 'personal family pictures'  -  I share this link with those who have expressed  sincere interest in sharing the truth of this story from another perspective than the 'rapidly expanding misrepresentation' that the official 'fellowship of friends and workers' would try to lead people to believe.

Note: This is a legal case supported actively by the workers and friends
to separate a mother from her child by force (this statement cannot be contested)

Personal Note: Because of the active  involvment of a significant number of the internationally  approved senior leaders of the group, ANYONE  identifying themselves with this fellowship must accept responibility for the horrendous crimes against humanity this case involves.   

The case is without a doubt, one of the cruelest and most obviously unChristian events actively supported by the international body of senior workers, that  this century has seen. 

I would like to ask any parent that may read this, "Honestly, how would you feel if it happened to you.?"  

Don't say it couldn't happen to you, as I am sure that Astrid would have felt that way a few years ago. - when she lived amongst her proffessing family, tried to consciensiously follow the code system this cult tried in great length to lay out for her life. She tried her best to believe this 'home made' theology - Sometimes she succeeded - sometimes her deductive ability created conflict with the system even then - but she tried her best to preserve peace in the family, and in the fellowship by 'fitting in' to things, that in reality, she felt where unreasonable and unChristian. This proved impossible when she fell in love with, and married Grant Barnato. After a childhood in a proffessing family in South Africa, and a number of years in the work in South America, Grant was banished from the fellowship because of honest concerns that he felt for righteousness -  concerns that senior workers felt should be kept hidden from view. Anyone, who even remotely showed kindness and understanding for Grant has also been banished from 'the fellowship'.  

Today, the workers in Norway (supported by the world wide fellowship) have  declared Astrid and her husband unwelcome  in ALL the official friends homes, in ALL of Norway. 

The workers (including the senior worker in Norway,  approved by the European council of senior workers) have actively supported the court case (and presented testimony to the court) to take away Astrids  parental rights to be together with her 2 year old (3 years old November 2002) son. She has been very very obviously betrayed by her professing family in this matter, (they, including her sister in the work have supported the court proceedings to forbid her custody of her son).
