It really has been a crazy week. Having the camera men, the associate producer, and Lisa Ling (who is apparently famous) at the Motherhouse was really weird. They even taped us doing spiritual reading. We were all just sitting there in silence reading our books. I was keeping custody of the eyes at all costs, but in my peripheral vision I kept seeing men in black going back and forth through the chapel. They were amazingly quiet, but I don’t think any of us actually read more than a paragraph. It was even more strange them taping in the refectory, Those camera men get so close to your face. When you are watching things like that on T.V. you always think that they are zooming in, but they really are that close. How is anyone supposed to not look at the camera?! The camera man was walking really slowly down the line of us eating and stopped right in front of me. I was eating shredded wheat and my one thought was: should I keep chewing? When the camera men left, just before we said the grace after meals, Mother just looked up at us and said, “All for Jesus!” I have loads of stories to tell you for when you come on visiting day! I was in one of the groups chosen to be interviewed here at the Motherhouse. I got away without saying anything since we were that last interview and the camera ran out of batteries. When they replaced it, it ran out of film. So I really lucked out, but it seemed that they were mostly asking a lot of the same questions to all the groups. Actually we thought that the entire thing was probably going to be all about chastity because it was obvious that Lisa Ling could not wrap her mind around it. None of the people who came had any faith at all and if you don’t look at our life from a stand point of faith, it makes absolutely no sense. So, as you can imagine, in every question that we answered we were just working for the salvation of souls.
" ) to Oprah’s shock and visibly seeing her trying to grasp what they were saying and seeing the pure TRUTH of it. WOW!
