PrintCHESAPEAKE, VA. (Catholic Online) – Lisa Miller lived in Virginia. She had a troubled childhood. Her mother suffered from mental illness and there was abuse in the home. She was deeply affected by a traumatic divorce between her parents. She had a series of substance addictions which began at the age of seven. She sought escape in an ill advised marriage. That relationship ended in divorce. It was that painful experience which finally thrust her into a deep depression with accompanying suicidal thoughts. It was during that period that she was hospitalized for “therapy”.
It was during “therapy” that Lisa claims she was first exposed to the prospect of being a lesbian. In a candid interview with LifeSite news in October of 2008 she told a sad and troubling story of what amounts to recruitment into what many are pushing as an alternative lifestyle. She maintained that she was encouraged in counseling sessions to try lesbian relationships. This happened not just once, but twice; both times within the context of “therapy” as she tried to free herself from the pain and wounds of a difficult life.
After a continuing sad spiral of events which ended with the death of her mother she met Janet Jenkins, who was living a lesbian lifestyle. Janet befriended her. Lisa maintains that she also seduced her into a lesbian relationship. That relationship became abusive and was filled with trauma. However, even after leaving Janet in the late nineties, Lisa went back. She followed the pattern often demonstrated by a victim of abuse.
The two traveled to Vermont in order to obtain a Vermont same-sex civil union license after Vermont passed the law in 2000. They immediately returned to Virginia. The relationship, troubled from the start, did not change. As is becoming increasingly common in same sex relationships, the two determined they should have a child together.
Of course, that is not a physical possibility and it never will be. So Lisa sought the services of a “fertility specialist” in Virginia.
This medical “professional” inseminated her with sperm from an anonymous donor. He followed the growing approach of treating children as a commodity and their creation as an act of medical manufacturing. So Isabella was born in Virginia as the “product” of the misuse of fertility technology, with no father whom she will ever know. However, Isabella is a wonderful child. Lisa Miller now clearly understands that she is also a gift from God for whom she bears a serious responsibility.
Four months after Isabella was born, Lisa, Janet and Isabella relocated to Vermont. While in Vermont, as a result of serious soul searching, Lisa became a Christian. She had a genuine Christian conversion. As a result of this conversion, she began to see all of her life differently as the pieces began to come together. According to Lisa, Janet became increasingly abusive. So, to protect herself and her daughter she left the living situation. She also left the lesbian lifestyle.
She began to change her life and received helpful counseling from people without an agenda. They assisted her in coming to understand her painful past and the effect it had upon her behaviors, her choices, and her addictions. Lisa became increasingly concerned for her daughter and returned to her home state of Virginia to make a new life. Janet remained in Vermont where she remains in an active lesbian lifestyle. Isabella was 17 months old at the time. She did not even know Janet.
Lisa later sought to dissolve the civil union in Vermont because it was the only place she could dissolve it. Virginia’s statutory law and State constitution affirm what the Natural Law reveals; marriage is between one man and one woman. Virginia does not recognize “same-sex” marriage or homosexual civil unions. Janet, who is neither the biological nor adoptive parent of Isabella then sought to obtain custody of Lisa’s daughter.
This tragic case sets up what is called a conflict of laws issue, pitting the law of one State against another. This specter hangs over many such homosexual relationships as the patchwork of court enforced schemes of calling them a “marriage” unfolds. It is a deliberate result of the strategy of cultural revolutionaries in the Homosexual Equivalency movement who are setting up what they hope will be their vehicle for enforcing their cultural revolution Nationally through the Courts.
The Homosexual Equivalency movement seeks to force legal recognition of homosexual relationships as the equivalent of a marriage. In so doing, they end up opposing marriage. Oh, they are verbal engineers, using Orwellian language, calling for “marriage equality” and the “freedom to marry”. It is simply a verbal slight of hand similar to the use of the word “choice” by those early abortion advocates. Such wordsmithing simply constitutes verbal engineering. It is an effort to cover over ...

The Amish-Mennonites who are accused of helping Lisa and her daughter have been living for years as "der stille of der landt"--trying to be the "quiet people of the land". This is an example of how they profess to want to live under the laws of Caesar (Romans 13:1-7 and I Peter 2:13] Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
[14] Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
[15] For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
[16] As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
YET THEY BREAK THE LAW BY IGNORING COURT ORDERS THAT COMPELLED LISA TO SHARE CUSTODY OF HER DAUGHTER!! Lisa is reaping what she sowed by living as a lesbian for a time, and unfortuneately the child is suffering--as most do during any divorce! So why are these supposedly concerned Mennonites not protesting the divorce laws, the abortion laws, other moral issues? They have given in to the urge to live under the radar, by being quiet while others suffer, but instead of working through government for change, they simply help Lisa become a fugitive. Now this may work for change in the long run, if they consistently help everyone similiarly situated, and get prosecuted consistently, because eventually jurors could refuse to convict and thereby NOT enforce the law and nullify it. But what is more likely to happen is that they will be sued civilly and end up not being able to help others in the future nor will they have rebuked the government for it's evil support of the homosexual movement, any more than the Amish-Mennonites have tried to change divorce laws, which encourage adultery, as Jesus said in Luke 16:18 that anybody who marries a divorced person commits adultery--this is because marriage lasts for life, and man is not to put asunder that which God has recognized as being joined together for life. Repent, all you professing, lukewarm hypocritical Christians who are in love with the World and the easy, quiet lifestyle!!

Interesting that you only post the pro lisa miller comments....
Lisa Miller is a fugitive - and the poor child has been abducted plain and simple.
you people are out of your minds
I reiterate my words of the other day,yoursin,J.M.J.ss Michael,Anthony.
Marlene: What are you drinking? The persecution of Catholics in the past can be compared with the distaste many of us feel for sexually deranged individuals who are attempting to turn Western Civilization on its head? Please, don't try to make us laugh with such nonsense. It's simply not very funny.
Marlene
Are you implying that the Catholic Church is an oppressor?
Peace and Im not here to get into a fight with you just wanted to know if you have looked at these sights:

I dont see oppression here only help.
One last thing -- the *only* judicial "tyranny" is in the eyes of the oppressor!
Deacon, I'd first go look back in history when Catholics were oppressed in the US during its early years.
Then I'd go looking at those court victories which gave Catholics equal footing when it came to busing in education and other arenas and the reaction of the oppressors who fought against it.
One person's "judicial tyranny" is another person's validation they have *equal* rights in this country under our *secular* Constitution!
Doug -- If Ms Jenkins is such a threat, then why does she have a *licensed* daycare in her home, and why dies she volunteer for her local AA *and* help other women in crisis?
The judge in Vermont sleeps very well, tyvm because he did the right thing.
