What Mistakes Were Made?
I
made many, many mistakes. Some were due to beginning this journey without
knowing anything about dissociative identity disorder or
borderline personality disorder and without experience in
spiritual warfare. Others were just bad judgment calls.
For example, I should have confirmed the veracity of the claims made by the self-declared deliverance minister in rural America before trying to encourage Kristin by telling her that had I been closer to her age, I would have been among those interested in her, or said nothing at all. As heartless as it would have seemed, I should have walked out of the room when she was screaming that nobody loves her or wants to kiss her. No matter how desperate I was to get the demons out of her, I should not have believed her claim that stimulating her genitalia would unlock the demons that were placed in her during rapes. After we moved to China and I began to get very little sleep, I still should have protected my prayer time and Bible reading time. And I should not have believed her claim that she has been fully integrated and cleansed of all demons, which led to setting the wedding date. This list can go on.
