Dear Reader,

I have decided to keep the comments sections related to the Wayne Bent/Strong City posts closed.

While future comments might have yielded additional insights, I feel those moments would likely be few within the steady increase of personal attack-styled commentary.

One alternative would be to weed-out the undesired comments. However, the frequency of comments on these threads has risen to a point where I must admit that I do not have the time to referee them with the immediacy and fair-handed treatment that they deserve.

While closing the comment sections on these threads will result in less traffic coming to this blog, I am at peace with that consequence.

I will continue to post updates to the Wayne Bent (aka Michael Travesser) story as it continues to unfold.

My “stats” page indicates that many of you have already clicked the link for the new blog-offering from “fromthewoods.” I wish that person the best with his/her effort. Because “fromthewoods” is also hosting his/her blog on WordPress, you’ll notice that it looks similar to my blog. However, I want you to know that I am not affiliated with fromthewoods’ blog nor do I know the identity of the blogger.

I want to conclude this final comment on these threads by expressing my sincere appreciation to all of you who have chosen to visit Beyond90Seconds.com. As always, you are welcome to contact me. My contact information is located within the large blue tile in the right sidebar near the top of this page.

Sincerely,
Mark Horner

I have read over some of the comments here. I feel that it is a good thing to reveal truth. It would be good to state the truth and then let the truth speak for its self. It sounds like there have been many hurt feelings. But I would say that what so ever a man sows that shall he also reap. Yes offences must come but woe to the one that brings them. I believe in freedom of following God. I could not judge this man and say he is guilty of a crime because only he knows what is in his heart. I was not there when it happened so I do not know what happened, I only know what I have read and herd. I also have children and I would not want them taken from me. I can relate to the feelings of all involved here. I feel so sorry for Willow. I also feel for her parents. I also feel for the ones that have been hurt by there expierences in this group. But it is best to deal with the pain instead of causing more pain by lashing out at the ones that you feel have hurt you. Love your enemies and do good to those that curse you. I believe that it is not a church or beliefe that will save you but rather your heart connection with God. Only God knows the heart of man. He knows if your heart is sincere or not. That is why he is the judge and not us. We could only judge wrongly because we only see from the outside looking in. I personally have been through a hard life. One of religious laws. But now I truly feel that it is only a heart connection that will get you anywhere past this life.

Sincerely,
A Stranger

Dear Mark,

What we at Strong City know, and Michael has said many times, which has brought about the events here is “do what’s on your heart.” Heaven is not a democracy but a knowing in your heart what the Living God is speaking and doing in you and laying down your life to allow Him to accomplish His purposes. The world is ever learning through its sociological, psycological, theological, ideological, ad infitum logical methods but never coming to the knowledge of the truth as it is in the Voice that speaks within.

Thank you for doing what was, and is, on your heart..
