 Dear Tucker, Your mother, sister and I think about you every day. We hope you will contact us soon. We will always be here for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON. Love, Dad TuckersDad1989@Gmail.com

In Memory of Papa Ken Alexander

We honor you this day with those whose lives you've touched

You will be missed







Pappa Ken passes to a new life



Dear Weston as you read this I hope your heart is ready to open up and begin to embrace those that have loved you throughout your life’s struggles.

As a child and young adult this man had been an important part of your life.

He loved you and you loved him. There is no love to be compared to a grandparents love for their grandchild.

As a young adult when you struggled to find your footing, your grandparents were there for you, opening their home allowing you a safe and nurturing environment. While living there they prayed with you and continued to support you emotionally.

Sadly you seem to have forgotten these special times as they have become twisted and distorted.

I don't know how you will heal from both the loss of this wonderful man and the loss of the memories you once shared. I know deep in your heart you truly loved your grandpa and some day will again remember him.

Papa Ken a Very Special Man!

Dear Weston

This wonderful man, your Papa Ken, who loved you so dearly, nurtured and grand parented you unconditionally is now gravely ill and under hospice care.


I can't even express the sadness I feel when I think of the wonderful times throughout your childhood that you spent at your grandparents home as they loved and spoiled you.


These special times you shared have been poisoned and replaced with ideas too sickening to mention.


There will be a day of clarity for you where, I believe in my heart,  you will wish you had told him how much you really loved him. I don't know how you will heal from this, but I can only hope that you'll be able to forgive yourself as I know he has forgiven you.


As you pray, please pray for God's forgiveness for the pain you have caused those that love you.


Yes Weston, your family does still love you and will be here when you decide to take your life back again.

*Weston R. Alexander, born November 3,1979 to Mark K. Alexander and Michele D. Gallagher.



What is a Cult?

I am a mother of two sons who have, since their involvement with the ministry of Lighthouse World Evangelism Inc. headed by Matthew C Manning, founder, cut off all ties with family and friends.
They have developed ideas of years of abuse they say they endured from their parents that have taken us through very painful court hearings in their attempt to acquire restraining orders.

Prior to their involvement with this ministry, we were a very close and loving family in the wholesome sense of the word. My youngest son was a senior in high school playing varsity soccer with many of his friends he has known since kindergarten and worked at a local pizza parlor. His younger sister and he, then 16, shared mutual friends.

Just two months after his turning 18, late at night when the family slept, Matthew C Manning drove from his home ,an hour and one half away, to our home and assisted my son in moving himself and all his belongings to an undisclosed location. Within a month Matthew Manning moved him into his own home where he runs his ministry. He and my eldest son, age 29, live there with several other people involved in his ministry.

My eldest son and I had always been very close, working at the same hospital and same department for several years. He was having some struggles personally and emotionally that brought him to this minister that he met online.

Since he has been living there and involved with this ministry, his mental state has deteriorated to the point that he is emotionally incapacitated, and no longer able to work.
Their attorney has informed us that they have been legally adopted by Matthew C. Manning and changed their names.

We have not been able to speak or have contact with them in almost two years other than through court proceedings. He has managed to isolate them from their past completely. Since they are not minors, our efforts to communicate with them are met with threats of restraining orders. The court has denied their request, but the process of fighting it has been very painful.

I love and miss my sons very much. I hope the day will come when they remember their roots and return to them so we can again be a family.

The effect this has had on their sister is heartbreaking. She too has been cut off from them and her attempts to visit them have been met with threats by Mr. Manning.

As for now I can only pray that they are functional and able to be healthy participants in society with some sense of independence.

If you or anyone you know have had any experience with either this ministry or one like it, please share the experience.

It has been almost 5 years now since this all began. 

I want all reading my blog to remember who Matthew Manning is.


Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. 
I still hold hope of their safe return to our family.

Time After Time

   

More Holiday Memories-Tucker Gallagher and Weston Alexander

It's hard to understand how you can wake up every morning and not feel the saddness and destruction that Matthew C Manning and Christa Braun Manning  have done to you and our family. 

 We are your family and always will be.

You need to walk away from the sickness that the Mannings have created.

The damage they have done cannot be changed, but you can change your future.

It's time to come home

In 2007 your life took a wrong turn Tucker.

That was 4 years ago and the pain never stops. Life does go on, but we will never stop loving and waiting for you!



Can this happen to any family?

Matthew C. Manning

 

 Christa Braun Manning

"Similarities between our nightmare and the Jaycee Dugard Kidnapping are disturbing. Phillip Garrido used a stun gun to abduct an 11 year old girl. Matthew C. Manning admits in court to creeping into our home and moving my son out. Nancy Garrido enabled the abduction and abuse of Jaycee. Christa Braun Manning has enabled Manning in all his perversions. I know now that Manning used physical and verbal threats, sleep and food depravation and who knows what else to brainwash my son into believing the un-believable...and turning him against his family and friends. Victim Jaycee Dugards memoir is called..."A Stolen Life". The Mannings have stolen my sons past and his present...but not his future...One day he will regain his clarity and the Mannings will get what they deserve, just like the Garrido's did. Someday I will stand and deliver a "Victims Impact Statement" like Jaycee's Mother did... I too am nauseated by the thought of the abuse my son has suffered because of the Mannings...they are nothing but selfish, self-serving, self-gratifying monsters..."

This is the last family function you attended Tucker.

Do you remember this?

This is your Uncle Dan's Wedding at Uncle Lou's and Aunt Honey's house.

Your extended family hasn't seen you since.

So many little cousins born since then that you have never met.

Uncle Jon sent words of love for you just before he passed away.

We all love you and will never give up hope!



Times Past

Dear Weston and Tucker,

Everyday I miss you!

                                                                       



 These pictures are posted for you

 Weston Reed Alexander & Tucker Gregory Gallagher

Matthew C Manning and Christa Braun Manning can call you whatever they like; (Zechariah David Manning and Joshua Daniel Manning; correct me if I'm wrong), but you know who you are.

Some day you will remember and embrace your real identity and those that love you!

Love you unconditionally and forever,

Your Mom



Sons Lost to the "False Voice of God"

Matthew C Manning claims to be the "VOICE OF GOD"

Sadly my two sons are victims of this belief.

He has adopted both my sons and changed their names.

They no longer have contact with any part of their past lives.

 I have not seen my sons in over 3 years

Does Matthew Manning really hold a "Pastorial license" or is he a complete fraud?

Why would Matthew C Manning and his wife Christa Braun Manning turn a young man against his family, adopt him and change his name to their own?

Control, that is what a cult survives on!

Let us not forget!

Happy Birthday Weston Alexander/ November 3,1979

Thank you Matthew C Manning and Christa Braun Manning for destroying these memories!



My happy little guy!



Hugs for you Weston from Mom!

Hi Buddy!

 

 

Tucker do you remember this picture?


It was taken Christmas time 2006 in Disneyland.


We all had so much fun on that trip.


You look so happy here!





How have these memories been twisted?


You don't have to answer that because we all know the answer.


Not until you became involved with Lighthouse World Evangelism Inc. pastored by Matthew C Manning and his wife Christa Braun Manning did these fears and anxieties you now live by develope.

I pray someday their hold on you will end, and you can again be in control of your life.

Your sister,  now graduated from high school and starting her first year of college, has no brother to share her experiences with.  No big brother (brothers)  she can turn to when she needs that sibling bond .
How again do you explain and justify this?

A 21st Birthday note to my son Tucker....By Bill Gallagher

08/14/1989

I thought about you today
   but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
   and the day before that too
I think of you in silence
   I often speak your name
but all I have are memories
   and your picture in a frame
Your memories a blessing
   From which I'll never part
And for the time I have left
   you'll always be in my heart

Love,
Dad

cousins

Tucker

My dear Tucker,
How I wish I saw clarity in those eyes.
Some day things will shine again.
We will be here waiting.

Love you,
Your Mom
