Description

Stott deploys her multiplicity of skills to good effect: as a historian, she delves into newspaper clippings, tape recordings, archive materials, a host of memoirs and books on doctrine, theology and the Exclusive Brethren. Pat McAfee is 'sick' of criticism aimed at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after the Chiefs' AFC title victory: 'Why is everybody so mad? Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Ask the LORD for rain in the spring season, the LORD who brings storm clouds, and heavy rains, who gives to everyone grain in the fields. Her great-grandmother, Ada-Louise, a member from birth, had been placed in an asylum by her fervent husband because she was an epileptic and ‘too wilful’.It's a moving tribute to her father's memory as well as a cathartic action in Rebecca's healing and forgiving process.

Senior members interrogated others about perceived "sins" and members deemed to have transgressed are "shut-up" within their own houses - completely without contact from even their own families until they are deemed to have been cleansed. Aged six, Rebecca Stott spent her time listening out for the sound of Satan’s hooves on the paving stones of Brighton. Three Days of Rain is a film from 2002 that takes six short stories by Anton Chekov and sets them in modern-day Cleveland, Ohio. Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain, even of Jehovah that maketh lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

This is a quiet, somewhat scholarly reflection on one family's involvement with - and eventual disconnection from - a fundamentalist cult. The 1960s, when she was a child, were a time of retrenchment for the Brethren: under JT Junior, the rules became stricter than ever. Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. This is a well-written story of growing up in a dysfunctional family--in this case, the Exclusive Brethren, which have congregations all over the world despite being very small. It was a harsh and restrictive time that she grew up in, trying to adapt at making friends and attend school when she wasn't allowed to have contact with those that weren't Exclusive Brethren.
