In case others have interest:<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>THE LETTER FROM MRS. GAIL SPRINGMEIER<br><br>Written to Texe Marrs, Director<br>Power of Prophecy Ministry<br>1708 Patterson Road, Austin, Texas 78733<br><br>Dear Texe and Secretaries,<br><br>This last month has been a confusing time in the life of this family. I’ve acted in a way that seemed expedient for the safety of my children and myself. Texe, you and your staff members have always been very kind, patient, and polite during my interactions with you, and I want to give all of you a personal explanation as to why our phone suddenly was changed to an unlisted number, that you could no longer reach us. I also want to give you my personal apology for not informing you long ago about my husband’s moral failings, his abandonment of his family, and the major problem he has with authority.<br><br>For the past 16 months Fritz has lived outside our family. I can count on two hands the number of times that he has spent the night in our home during that time. He has basically been using his home as an office. He has been "de-programming and protecting" this Satanically-ritually abused woman, who has Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). Perhaps you have seen a copy of the book they co-authored "An Illustrated Guide to Monarch Mind Control," by Fritz Springmeier and Cisco Wheeler. Cisco is the name of an alter ego within the MPD system, of a woman whose name is actually Linda Johnson.<br><br>In March 1995, Fritz and Cisco traveled to a symposium in Texas using the names Fritz and Cisco Springmeier. The shared the same motel room and were generally known to be husband and wife. It was several weeks later that I discovered this when someone called for Fritz and assumed that I must be Cisco when I answered the phone. I also know for a fact that Fritz and Cisco share the same bedroom at her house (supposedly always in different beds), so that he can protect her from being triggered by "astral-projections," and access in general. Although Linda's husband lives in his own apartment behind the garage on the same property, I have no understanding of how he tolerates his wife's sleeping arrangements.<br><br>I have been prayerfully trying to break Fritz away from this situation. Every Christian friend that knows about this situation has told him that he needs to put his family before "ministry" and his personal needs, and that he needs to realize that he is abandoning his family. I have tried to be loving toward him, and be as supportive of his ministry as I can. I have tried to show him that there is room for his ministry at home. Finally, however, I have come to realize that I can't draw him away from Cisco, and that I'm now very little more than a Christian front for a "ministry" and the writings of a man badly deceived and outside of the protective cover of any Godly authority structure.<br><br>I love my husband, but for the sake of our children and Fritz's soul itself, I will no longer support his "ministry," nor will I hide his sin. Our children have suffered greatly by Fritz's abandonment. Our 14 year old, Michael, is actually my child from my first marriage and his father is deceased, however, Fritz has been his step dad for half his life. Michael no longer respects Fritz, because he is old enough to see what is going on and how badly his mother is hurt by Fritz's lack of attention. Sadly, the fact that Fritz lives with Linda has become common knowledge with our 4-year-old, Erick, and he acts out his anger with aggressive attitudes and hitting.<br><br>Also, Fritz's "ministry" is not supporting itself. Just a couple of weeks ago Fritz was suggesting that we borrow $17,000.00 on the equity of our home to pay the printing of 3000 "Top 13 Illuminati" books (so he could sell 1000 of them to you).<br><br>My teaching job is the mainstay of this family, and besides our great provider, our Heavenly Father, our home is our only security. We have no savings, investments, etc., only our home and hundreds of unsold "Watchtower and Mason" books. By the way, Fritz still owes $2,500 to the publisher who printed those. The money from your last order was supposed to go directly to the publishers. It is unknown how it was spent, but it didn't get to the publishers.<br><br>The reason I changed our phone number is so that I would no longer need to explain that I had no idea when Fritz would be home, nor did I know when he gets up in the morning. I have simply refused to be a Christian front any longer. On Friday, August 25, 1995, Fritz was served with divorce papers. I need to see a repentant heart and behavioral change over a long period of time, before I'll even consider living with him again. So far, he is very angry with me, and acts out the appearance of being very unjustly treated. He states that I still don't "support his ministry and never have." I believe he sees "support" in dollars and cents, because a friend and I together saved him from several lawsuits for mail fraud last Summer and Fall, essentially saving his "ministry." You may remember getting calls from people wondering who this Fritz Springmeier was, and whether he should be trusted when he would cash checks, and not process an order for six months, or so.<br><br>I believe our friend and I did you a great disservice by saving Fritz from the consequences of his own action last year. Fritz wasn't every appreciative of our help, however, yet he shouldn't be able to look me in the face and say "you never have supported my ministry." It simply is not true.<br><br>In the first paragraph of this letter I referred to the safety of this family. I married Fritz, because I was in love and I felt he was a devoted Christian and a victim of his first wife. The fact remains, however, that Fritz is a convicted felon, and he spent time in prison. His crime was interfering with custodial rights and kidnapping his son. He was on the run with his son by his first marriage, James, for almost four years. During this time he used false identification under 6 or 7 names. A couple of weeks ago, I found this ID carefully filed away in a file box, with his current driver's license blown up, as if for examination for duplication. Fritz is trained as a grapho-analyst, and is a talented graphic artist. He has made his own driver's licenses before and a trusted friend says he has created more false ID. He saw Fritz with a current Canadian passport and credit cards under the name of "Amos Eicher," one of the aliases he used on the run. Why? I'm not sure, but I feel that he must be getting ready to run again. Until I can be sure of why he needs this ID, I'm seeking supervised visitation for Erick.<br><br>I don't even know who this man is any more. In recent months I have told Fritz that the only reason that I stuck with him were because I loved him and, although I didn't always agree that what he was doing was right, that I firmly believed that he thought he had God's approval for what he was doing. Well, I no longer believe in him, and I thought it only right to tell you openly and honestly that his life style is no longer Christian, and now you can determine how you want to deal with his "ministry."<br><br>I will say it again, I love Fritz and find no pleasure in discrediting him. In fact, last winter I wrote a long letter to the publishers of "The Little Cloud Report," Camille Blumstrum, defending my husband against their anti-Semitic accusations (I remember that you also wrote in his defense – thank you). I’m much more used to defending rather than discrediting, but I can no longer defend Fritz.<br><br>Again, I apologize for the "front" I maintained through July and the first weeks of August. I was trying to keep the appearance of a normal life, while finding out as much as I could about what Fritz was involved with. I realize that you have quoted Fritz in your books, and marketed his books, and I really hated to be a party to this and to put you in this position. God bless your ministry, and direct you in His way.<br><br>Gail Springmeier<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>It's import is that it seems to be part of a pattern of rescuers, a la Phillips and gunderson, as well. <p></p><i></i>
