The father offers insight and rebuttal to his daughter's allegations she described in the "Witness Wore Red" as being untrue statements that are false and malicious slander.
This "rebuttal" is very poorly written with numerous spelling and grammatical errors. I don't believe a word from Lloyd Wall's mouth. Oh, except for the part where he speaks of likely being guilty of brainwashing. Well .... duh.
I recently finished The Witness Wore Red, so naturally I had to read this too. I'd read Cole's book too if it was available still. If anyone knows where I could find it I'd be very grateful.
Anyway yes, this is basically Rebecca's father "proving his daughter wrong" about her own childhood. But if you ask me, he's only proving her, and Elissa, right. I'm inclined to side with survivors of abuse over those who didn't protect them from said abuse, sorry!!
The book is often repetitive, I'm assuming to fill up page space, and the rebuttals aren't actually anything huge (like the dining table/eating together or the downstairs/upstairs and TV situations, do you think readers really care about that?), except in the case of Rebecca's CSA.
Mr Wall, please consider that there is a possibility you really weren't told about it and that it really did happen. You believe your daughter about Rulon and Warren, why is this any different just because it happened in your home?
Also saying how Rebecca wanted to marry Rulon because she'd have access to all these things, credit cards, private flights etc, how would she know about that until she was in the prophet's family?
I will say I do believe one thing here, and that's the story of how her parents met, and how her mother was assigned to her father's family. I can see it happening that way, and Mr Wall would probably know that better than his daughter, but the rest...
Absolute disgrace. It’s one thing to be brainwashed in a cult and believe the way you live is normal, but it’s a totally different thing to abuse your children or allow your wife to do so then lie about the whole experience. I read The Witness Wore Red, parts of which can be verified by the court documents, and this idiotic attempt to justify his and his wife’s behavior is just awful. When you have numerous children writing books and giving interviews about you, your monster wife and your cult, you should just pipe down and take a seat. Those poor kids.
