Jennifer Rose said: *headdesk* man i was good friends with Betsy for awhile... we met up on Facebook, talked for months, she came to my house and I to hers. She's not a bad person by any means... but she, like many "cult" members, is a victim of brainwashing. She started her dreads while recovering from cancer, bonded with Jonny in that time, and so it all became tangled up in her mind and very personal - she can't nor does she want to separate the truth from the lies. I wonder if she even realizes that she was taken advantage of in her most vilnerable moment? I doubt it, as she's been blinded to the truth and doesnt *want* to see, it's more comfortable to believe a safe familiar lie then open your eyes to the new, scary truth.
She & Jonny were trying to get me to consider starting a dhhq endorsed salon here in Pittsburgh. I considered it for like 5 seconds - only because I do have 7 kids to feed and the money would help support them - but I realized I couldn't sell my soul like that. As a wiccan I am sworn to harm none and waxing dreadies and LYING to people would definitely do that. The last straw was when I went to help out a local dhhq "survivor" from facebook, Marco - his dreads were seriously full of wax and I was just sickened by the whole thing. He was an innocent hurt by the cutthroat politics of a greedy man. When I told Betsy that I couldn't in good conscience do the salon, she kinda flipped out on me. She said I betrayed her and "all she had done for me". She said that Jonny deserves to be surrounded by people that will support him and not hate... so what, we're supposed to lie to feed his ego? I said that I felt like the forum was the "DHHQ cult" and the sponsored members the Jonny Clean fan club. We had a bigtime falling out and now she wants nothing to do with me. In my book a friend doesn't ditch another friend like that, even if you disagree, so I am saddened that it came to this. I'm just now trying to make the best of things and move on, and help other wax victims.
