The Truth Arc is the fourth arc of Johnisdead. This arc began on July 3rd, 2016 and ended on January 1st, 2017. This arc saw the return of the Moon Children website Youshouldnthavedonethat.net as players witnessed events from the year 2010, exploring more of the cult's dark history. The return of Youshouldnthavedonethat.net resulted in many veteran players returning to the community. Originally, the fact that this arc was a part of Johnisdead was kept secret, resulting in many players believing this was the return of Jadusable's original ARG.

Notice:

It's important to remember that the Moon Children and the Lunar Children are two separate groups.
The Moon Children were housed in the Orchard, owned the site Youshouldnthavedonethat.net, and were led by Mr. D - an entity heavily implied to be Tenebris.
The Lunar Children were housed in the fishery, owned the site Lunarchildren.com, and were led by Patrem.
This arc mainly focuses around the Moon Children.
For convenience sake, we will often be referring to "Youshouldnthavedonethat.net" as "YSHDT.net" throughout this timeline.

July 3rd, 2016

  • At 12:00 PM, players discovered that "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net", the website owned by the Moon Children that was used during Jadusable's ARG, was once again active. This site had previously been owned by the "GoChina" after not being renewed by Jadusable. The site now featured a generic login page that read "Sign in to GoChina". target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the login page for YSHDT.net had updated. The page now read "Sign in to The Moon Children". target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that YSHDT.net had reverted to how it appeared during Jadusable's ARG. A brief summary of the content discovered on YSHDT.net during Jadusable's ARG is as follows:
  • Front Page - Contained a brief introduction to the Moon Children along with a Guestbook where users could leave comments. (Link) This page also contained announcements written by high ranking Moon Children and mysterious entities:
  • Matt, also known as Ifrit.
  • Chris, also known as Nekko.
  • Spencer, also known as Duskworld23.
  • Kevin, also known as Insidiae.
  • DROWNED, who is implied to be BEN.
  • Kelbris, who made a single, threatening post.
  • Contact Us - A page where players could submit their personal contact information. (Link) Several "Contact Pages" were hidden for various Moon Children that hid further information:
  • Ben - Ben's contact page. This page contained a countdown to the fourth day. (Link)
  • Drowned - Drowned's contact page. This page contained a large image of Kelbris. (Link)
  • Ifrit - Matt's contact page. This page led players to Matt's email address and the YouTube channel "TheLinkMissing". After Matt disappeared as the second cycle began, this page was filled with images of BEN. (Link)
  • Alex - Alex's contact page. This page contained text further linking Alex to the "TheLinkMissing" YouTube channel. (Link)
  • Search - Links to a search page that allowed players to quickly scour the site. (Link)
  • The Truth - Links to a locked page. Finding a way to enter this page was one of the main goals from Jadusable's ARG. (Link)
  • Creed - Links to a page containing various Moon Child chants. (Link)
  • About - Links to a page containing small bios on high ranking Moon Children. (Link)
  • Theories - Links to a page containing several theories relating to the apocalypse. (Link)
  • Other - Miscellaneous things found on YSHDT.net:
  • Press Room - A seemingly unfinished page that contained cryptic text and a link to the "Blastoff!" page. (Link)
  • Blastoff! - A page containing generic placeholder text along with text relating to the number "423". (Link)
  • Downloadable Files - Various files hosted on YSHDT.net that players discovered by entering the correct URL.

  • To view a faithful fan-recreation of this site, click here.

Notice:

To avoid any confusion, it's important to note that YSHDT.net operated on a three day cycle. This means that on the night of the third day, the players were required to "reset" the site by submitting the Song of Time. This would revert the site to how it was three days prior, often with small changes.
The players were essentially experiencing alternate timeline versions of the same website whenever a new cycle began.

For convenience sake, we will be referring to most YSHDT.net pages as their casual name rather than their entire URL.
For example, the page "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/contact/ifrit will simply be referred to as "Matt's Contact Page".

This concludes the summary of YSHDT.net as it appeared during Jadusable's ARG.
The following updates are purely from The Truth Arc of Johnisdead.

  • At an unknown time, players discovered that YSHDT.net featured a video titled "again.wmv" embedded onto the front page. target=_blank This video was uploaded to a new YouTube channel named "fj6rt missing". target=_blank Shortly after this video was discovered, it was privated on YouTube.

7/3/16 - "again.wmv" - YouTube (fj6rt missing)

The video begins with footage from Majora's Mask. Deku Link is walking around Clock Town on the night of the first day. Despite this, music is still playing. We see Deku Link entering East Clock Town. As the area loads in, we see the Elegy Statue's smile quickly flash on screen accompanied by a loud sound. Deku Link approaches the Bomber Gang Kid and is asked for the secret code. Deku Link enters '15423' and it is accepted. The video cuts to black and text appears:

"You are not done playing yet."

Distorted sounds play in the background. And empty dialogue box appears as the Skull Kid laughs. Text flashes on screen.

"United Alliance"

An image of the Player group "We Are All Link" flashes on screen, followed by a flash of the "What's Your Mask?" Player group. More text appears.

"Heroes of Time"

An image of the "Knights of Jad" player group appears, followed by a flash of "The Fourth Day" Player group.

"Team Vanguard"

"System of a Dream"

The "Bomber Gang Kids" Player group image appears as darkness slowly covers it. A backwards scream is heard as the video cuts to black. More text appears:

"Did you think I would forget?"

"One more chance."

"Dawn of a New Day"

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Summary

  • Gameplay footage of Majora's Mask is shown. Link approaches the Bomber Gang Kids and enters their hideout by entering the code "15423".
  • Tenebris informs the players that they are not done playing his game yet.
  • Several old player groups that participated in Jadusable's ARG are referenced:
  • United Alliance
  • We Are All Link
  • What's Your Mask?
  • Heroes of Time
  • Knights of Jad
  • The Fourth Day
  • Team Vanguard
  • System of a Dream
  • Bomber Gang Kids

  • At an unknown time, players discovered the the front page of YSHDT.net contained a new post by Chris:

7/3/16 - Announcement - Youshouldnthavedonethat.net

Posted: 9/16/10 @ 1:23am
Hey guys Chris again, it has been a really really REALLY long day. It just feels like today is never going to end. But my complaning aside I have a few things that need to be addressed. I lost our testimonials (I am so sososososo sorry about that) I just don't know how it happened, but we won't be getting that testimonials page up after all. Its ok though, Luna is something that is best ecperianced personally in my opinion (not trying to make excuses or anything though, still really sorry). Also, I see we are already getting more traffic (yaaaaayyy new friends) And I am aware of the problem with the guestbook, but no I still don't know why it is displaying things 6 years in the future (I know I made that future joke before but wow guys did someone get lost in a time machine here, heh). That being said we are trying to work on it. Oh and be sure if you are in the area to stop by Ifrits place on sunday for the big party

Summary

  • Chris is still alive. This confirms that each cycle of YSHDT.net is a separate timeline, since Chris was killed and ascended during the original cycle of YSHDT.net.
  • The Moon Children were attempting to set up a page containing testimonials from past Moon Children, but Chris accidentally lost the testimonials.
  • The guestbook is displaying comments from six years in the future. This is because players from the current year (2016) are commenting on YSHDT.net, which is still in 2010.
  • Matt is hosting a party on Sunday. Chris's post was made on September 16th, 2010. The next Sunday was on September 19th, 2010 - three days after Chris's post. This implies that the three day cycle is counting down to the date of Matt's party.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the guestbook contained a comment from "Spencer" that read "Matt I thought you were our friend".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that Drowned's contact page was now titled "g4" and contained the following text: "This sheep is blind, its eyes to the one below the blue who's consumed beneath the one through ages. It is flesh sans soul, a once living traitor, a servant and nothing more. The man is smiling.".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that Alex's contact page was now titled "g2".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that Matt's contact page contained the text "What did he do on sunday?".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the text found previously on the "Pressroom" page that read "sheep to the slaughter" now linked to the audio file "jintod.ogg". Unfortunately, this file was corrupted and would not play.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that Ben's contact page once again contained a countdown to "The Fourth Day". This page also contained the text "JNNDE LIES SOKF SOON TO COMPLETE MY TRIVOAB BMIND TBODY FSOUL!JVQD ENBUHOTH THIS GAME WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL ALL IS CONSUMED!".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered a new page on YSHDT.net - "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/giant". This page was titled "1" and contained an image of Kelbris. This page also contained the text "YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE" written in bright red and played a reversed version of the "Southern Swamp" theme from Majora's Mask titled "D.ogg".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the title of the "Giant Page" had changed to "g1".
  • At an unknown time, players discovered a new page on YSHDT.net - "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/index.php/r". This page was titled "R" and was completely blank.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the audio "Song_of_Healing_Reversed.ogg" previously found within YSHDT.net's downloadable files now hid a conversation between the Moon Children Rem and David in its coding:

7/3/16 - Rem and David's Chat - YSHDT.net

[03:28:04] .:@rem:. I can't believe he would go that far
[03:34:36] .:@rem:. Are you still there?
[03:35:18] .:@David:. yeah sorry, I wonder how Rodney is taking it all, I mean I know they were not related by blood, but fuck thats hard to walk in on, and hard to carry out. Luna help him.
[03:35:59] .:@rem:. He is young, but he is very strong,I am sure he will be fine.
[03:36:42] .:@rem:. When told blood must be shed for his rite of passage, he did not hessitate, and he knew exactly of our targets who he wanted to choose.
[03:37:19] .:@David:. But his own family.. I mean I know it was just his adoptive father but
[03:38:37] .:@rem:. He was a very unfit parent I can assure you, do I need to backtrack to what he did to BYOU SHOULDNT BE READING THIS

Summary

  • Two Moon Children, Rem and David, discuss Matt. In this conversation, they are using Matt's Moon Child alias - Rodney R.
  • Matt supposedly killed his adoptive father as a rite of passage to join the Moon Children. It was previously stated by Jarilo that Matt killed Kelbris to join the Moon Children. This means that Kelbris adopted Matt at some point, making Matt Ben's adopted brother.
  • An unknown entity, likely Tenebris, cuts off the chatlog.
  • At 5:17 PM, players began emailing Matt:

7/3/16 - Email Chats with Matt - YSHDT.net (Email)

Moondancer 5:17 PM: "who is this?"
Matt ((To Moondancer)) 5:54 PM: "How did you get this email?"
Moondancer 8:12 PM: "Your contact page. It didn't actually show up on the page, only in the description on the search page, so I was just confirming. Also, I think someone messed with all the dates on my laptop. What's the date, if I may ask? PS: Heard from Alex recently?"
Matt ((To Moondancer)) 8:31 PM: "It is approximately September 16th 2010 1:29am EST. Also I have not heard from Alex since the black out, which is a shame, since a certain incident resulting his friend introducing him to our group, he has been one of our gretest warriors. I hope we can find him again soon as he is a valuable asset."
Aaver 8:33 PM: "Hey! I'm Morgan. Is this Ifrit? I found the email in the source code of the site, but I'm not sure if this is actually correct"
Matt ((To Aaver)) 8:40 PM: "I was not expecting emails, or so many, so soon. But anyone truly interested in our cause is welcome. This is Ifrit, while I am awake I can let you know anything you need within reason."
Aaver 8:53 PM: "I'm so sorry if I was disturbing you, then. I hope my email wasn't adding to the pile. Regardless, I wanted to know if joining was still an option for me. From what I've read about on the site, it seems like most of meetings are in-person (unless I'm mistaken)? I live in Canada, and I'm still quite dependent on my parents. Trips out of the country aren't an option for me, due to my financial situation. I'm not sure if any members live nearby. How might initiation work for me, if I join? Thank you so much for answering these, if you can. I'm really grateful."
Matt ((To Aaver)) 9:04 PM: "If you wanted to come to us in the physical world that may be a bit challenging for you, in your current condition, I am afraid. We are much bigger than we were a long time ago but we are still smaller than many "Real" as some might say, religions. We are mostly on the American east coast (Florida, New york ect.) however After we finally get everything situated I will being to seriously get through applications to join for those who are serious. I am expecting to have this all done after Sunday if we stick to schedule with no hang ups. In the mean time, check up on our theories and creed page for a little glimpse at what we are all about."
Moondancer 9:04 PM: "Oh, thank you. I'm curious, what exactly's going down at the party on Sunday? And, if I may ask, how late do you think it'll go? If I can go, it'll only be around 10 or 11 PM."
Matt ((To Moondancer)) 9:20 PM: "It is a revival and prayers to our Goddess. But my apologies as it is members only. Just as well do expect slow replies from me as oddly enough I am getting swamped with email at the moment."
Moondancer 9:24 PM: "Alright. One more question, for now. Have you heard from Rosa lately? A friend recommended that I talk to her, but I couldn't find any contact information."
Aaver 9:25 PM: "That's kind of disappointing. Still, I understand. I really hope that you guys grow big enough in the future so that international meetups are possible. I'll definitely be waiting for that day! I'll put in my contact info later today, hopefully you can get to it when you can go through applications. Thanks again for answering my questions. Since you seem to be swamped right now, do you know of anyone else I could take my questions to? I don't want to be a bother."
Moondancer 9:45 PM: "Additionally, please be careful. Some weird stuff's been happening lately, and it's only been getting worse as time goes on"
Matt ((To Aaver)) 9:57 PM: "If he is awake and set up his email properly, DW might be able to talk to you seeing as he promised to help out with the extra traffic and new members we were expecting. Drop him a line at duskworld@youshouldnthavedonethat.net if you would like to get to know another fantastic member of our family. Don't worry, in the not so distant future we expect to be one of the biggest religious groups in all of the country. Assuming people know whats good for them By 2017, we project having at least one grotto in every state."
Matt ((To Moondancer)) 9:59 PM: "Rosa is my sister, I have been trying my best to keep in contact with her since the blackout. However I do not know who told you you needed to talk to her or why. Where did you hear that?"

Summary

  • Matt confirms that the date from his and the rest of YSHDT.net's perspective is indeed September 16th, 2010.
  • Matt claims that Alex was became valuable asset to the Moon Children after one of his friends invited him to join. Alex apparently hasn't been seen since an event known as the "blackout" - a term used previously on Lunarchildren.com and the original run of YSHDT.net.
  • Matt confirms that the Moon Children are based in both Florida and New York - something implied by the note found by SKM in "IMG_1427".
  • Matt confirms that the party he is hosting on Sunday will be religious in nature and that it's for Moon Children only.
  • Matt directs the players to Spencer's email - "duskworld@youshouldnthavedonethat.net".

  • Moondancer's emails with Matt: target=_blank target=_blank
  • At 11:09 PM, players managed to fix the audio file "jintod.ogg", allowing it to correctly play. Players discovered that this audio file previously would not play because text had been inserted into its code that read "Radio them and tell them what is happening to ifrit". Once this text was removed, the audio file played correctly. This audio file features someone saying "Hiding right now... ((Unintelligible)) he'll kill us, I don't know what I'm doing... No, no... Ifrit. He- he... he wanted to talk to Ifrit. ((Unintelligible)) He's... oh, no... He's killing us. He's... ((Unintelligible)) to realize... please." with occasional knocking sounds. target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, players continued chatting with Matt via email:

7/3/16 - Email Chats with Matt - YSHDT.net (Email)

Moondancer --:-- PM: "Don't open the door. I hope it isn't too late."
Matt ((To Moondancer)) --:-- PM: "What are you talking about?"
Moondancer --:-- PM: "Nothing, probably. By the way, was Kelbris' body ever found? I heard he was electrocuted. but not much more."
Matt ((To Moondancer)) --:-- PM: "That day in 2002 is something I do not like talking about. I was young back then and it was a crazy and awful time, but what happened had to be done. It would have hurt either way. I can't talk about it, to put it short, however you can be sure his body cannot be found anymore"
HauntedMaster --:-- PM: "Is this Ifrit from "http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/"? I know the site from a friend, he said this email was one of the best people to contact about questions and stuff. But I could also have the wrong email address, whoops. But I do have a few questions, if you are the right person! I am interested about this site! Thank you, HauntedMaster"
Matt ((To HauntedMaster)) --:-- PM: "If you are serious about joining us or something of the like leave the proper contact information on our main contact page."
HauntedMaster --:-- PM: "Thank you, just filled out stuff on the contact us page! Also, I read "Nekko"'s post on the home page. I hope the party goes well for! :). Just be careful at the party, I've been ones that were so wild that people have, well... Had pretty terrible fates >_<. Maybe I'm just over-worrying. Stay on your toes either way! Thank you, Haunted Master"
Matt ((To HauntedMaster)) --:-- PM: "Very good, I will be discussing new children joining the ranks with our leader as soon as possible. the policy has always been the more the merrier aside from a few small exceptions, so I am sure you will make it in. The party should go great as well, a lot of friends I can't wait to get back with again after so long. A night of fun and praises to Her is just what I have needed for a while."

Summary

  • The player Moondancer attempts to warn Matt about the knocking sounds heard in "jintod.ogg", but Matt doesn't know what they're talking about.
  • The player Moondancer asks about Kelbris's body. Matt states that 2002 was an awful time for him, and he doesn't like talking about it. He says that killing Kelbris had to be done and that his body will not be found.

July 4th, 2016

  • At 1:45 AM, players began chatting with both Spencer and Alex via email:

7/4/16 - Email Chats with Spencer and Alex - YSHDT.net (Email)

Aaver ((To Spencer)) 1:45 AM: "Hi my name is Morgan. I was referred to you through Ifrit. I didn't want to ((...))"
Spencer ((To Aaver)) 1:54 AM: "Please stop it! I can’t breath! Ifrit you just like your father! This ist"
Aaver ((To Spencer)) 2:09 AM: ((The "Zora Mask" is sent to Spencer))
Aaver ((To Alex)) --:-- AM: "Hi. I'm Morgan. I was wondering if we could talk? I'd like to ask you some questions."
Alex ((To Aaver)) --:-- AM: "Mistake vcewos... trying to fgoqa get ...everything get out of control! I gh with Her now. I gh iuft the gsyjr mpe! Thank you Matt I am free"

Summary

  • It's further implied that Alex and Spencer were drowned by Matt - something said in the video "IMG_1427" and hinted at on the Lunar Children forums.
  • Alex's message implies he was initially against his own forced ascension, but becomes loyal to Luna and thanks Matt after the fact. This could hint that those who are transcended into giants lose control over themselves or are brainwashed in some way.

Updates

  • Screenshots:
  • Aaver's email to Spencer: target=_blank
  • Aaver's email to Alex: target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the text reading "Luna Prophecy" on the "Theories Page" had changed to "Honesty is the best policy.". target=_blank

  • At an unknown time, Spencer replied to the player Spirkiroid's email with "newyork". target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, YSHDT.net's favicon changed to a small image of a face titled "Day_2_Bookmark_Icon.jpg". target=_blank
  • At an unknown time, a timer appeared on Ben's contact page counting down to midnight on July 5th. Text was also found on this page reading "You couldn't change anything... whats makes you think you can this time?".
  • At 7:55 PM, Matt sent out an unknown email. Unfortunately, its contents were not archived.
  • At 8:23 PM, the "Zora Mask" submitted by Aaver took effect and Spencer began emailing the players.

7/4/16 - Email Chats with Spencer - YSHDT.net (Email)

Spencer ((To Aaver)) 8:23 PM: "Thank you, but it will not allow this freedom you have granted me for long."
Aaver 8:59 PM: "What is the username and pass for The Truth login? What can you tell me about the party on Sunday? Long until what? What can I do to help?"
Spencer ((To Aaver)) 9:05 PM: "I am not the one who can tell you that. Kelbris awoke from his sleep. He arrives there no matter what. The song merely showed the world. He spoke to Ifrit, and changed him. Not as himself but under the guide o"
Leliel 9:11 PM: "Who is he? Or was?"
Spencer ((To Leliel)) 9:27 PM: "Our leader, a strange creature. Some call It a god, but I know It now to be a parasite of the body and soul. An unstable entity that requires the souls and bodies of others to present itself, It speaks only through displays of the works of mankind, proxy communitcation. I do not have long."
Leliel 9:49 PM: "Long until what? Is there anything we can do to help, if you need help?"
Spencer ((To Leliel)) 9:57 PM: "My fate cannot change, I am now as they are. Kelbris, Alex, Do"

Summary

  • Spencer tells the players that he is not able to give them the login information for The Truth.
  • Spencer claims that, on Sunday, Kelbris will wake up and "change" Matt somehow - likely leading to him killing and transcending Spencer and Alex under Tenebris's control.
  • Spencer describes Tenebris as a "parasite of the body and soul", claiming it requires those of others to present itself.
  • Spencer tells the player that he has already transcended like Kelbris, Alex, and Doug. It appears as if the "Zora Mask" is simply allowing him to speak normally and break free from their control for a brief moment.

The page's source code also hid a broken audio file titled "Get_it_yet.ogg". This audio file's source contained text from a chatlog involving the Moon Children "Rem" and "Dani". Once this text was removed from the file's code, the audio would play correctly, revealing the sound of Skull Kid's laugh from Majora's Mask. target=_blank

7/4/16 - Rem and Dani's Chatlog - YSHDT.net ("Get_it_yet.ogg")

[05:17:43] .:@rem:. I told you for the last time I don't know what happened to Rosa, she is just fucking gone ok. You know she barely even had anything to do with us, she was just here for the benefit of Ifrit.
[05:18:19] .:@Dani:. Did it do this!? That fucking thing!? I knew this was all terrible, but how!? It did not have a body yet.
[05:18:58] .:@rem:. I was not at her house, I don't even know where she lives, what I saw was horrid though. Kelbris, his... body at the door.
[05:19:09] .:@Dani:. YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT REM
[05:19:15] .:@rem:. NO I am not lying to you Danielle
[05:19:45] .:@rem:. I do not know how, but he is back ok, but its not like he alive, you and me both know what happened to him
[05:20:39] .:@rem:. I am still trying to piece everything together too, this is fucking horrible
[05:20:49] .:@Dani:. This shit can't be real this is too much this is just a bunch of kids playing pretend.
[05:22:04] .:@rem:. I watched from afar, it did not look like a normal living person, his body looked bloated and disfigured, his skin had a green hue. Like he had just crawled out from that pond. I could hear him yelling in a gurgling voice. He was trying to get to ifrit. He wanted to talk to ifrit.
[05:23:04] .:@rem:. This IS real Danielle, this living nightmare we have made for ourselves is all to real.
[05:25:27] .:@rem:. But he did not kill Ifrit he just vanished after going to Ifrit.
[05:25:39] .:@Dani:. So who did all of this then?
[05:26:42] .:@rem:. Not Kelbris, it was The puppet was merely a medium for the wisdom that must be spread. His borrowed son shall be a tool to bring the four and open the gate. His blood son is the sacrifice to give It form in this realm. Why is he smiling?

Summary

  • The Moon Child Rem claims he saw Kelbris at Rosa's door. After this, Rosa seemingly disappeared.
  • Rem claims that Kelbris didn't wish to kill Matt - only speak to him. This is implied to be what Spencer was referring to earlier - whatever Kelbris did to Matt drove him to kill the other Moon Children.
  • An unknown entity begins speaking through the chatlog text, implying that Kelbris was simply a puppet being used to spread wisdom. This entity refers to Matt as a tool to ascend the four giants, whereas Ben was used as Tenebris's conduit.
  • At an unknown time, players discovered that the text "EST" was added under the countdown timer on Ben's contact page, indicating that the time went by Eastern Standard Time.

July 5th, 2016

  • At 12:00 AM, the site underwent several major changes that the players dub as "The Distortion". target=_blank target=_blank target=_blank "The Distortion" resulted in the following page changes:
  • The front page now contained text that read "These "Moon Children" were just a game while I await completion. jwg 4 xlqz cggq drpsogwiz psk gu gvre isw elu [wluyx es qu ikiir;;uh." and the page's meta tags read "4Zu)&H=oW;10I+=0L\K'0M+Z(0hk/0H::4n1.al*1I4E#12B9L Of these children at the end of the game there was only one worthy to act as messenger for Him".

Rosa 11:30 AM: "We have spoken before. Many times,, you may not remember. The game has occured beyond the life time of one"

But a litle bit of focus hleped me find the testimonials (I think) I don't remember us having so few (and all of the ones I found were from traitors Ewwww) so I will have to look around a bit more. IN THE MEAN TIME, for those who are in the know and wanna see them, I put them somewhere for you to go get them. You might wonder WHYYYY I did that, but its so that you can get them out and open them up in a quick zip. From there if you have any trouble, if you are in the know, you should know how to get pass.

7/11/16 - Moon Children Testimonials - YSHDT.net

Testimonials
Words from various attendants of the Moon


Jeremy “J”(1998): Hahaha, well what can I say, this group has honestly changed my life for the better in so many ways. It has given me a sense of purpose and adventure. I have both a family of the Moon and a family by the dictionary definition now thanks to The Moon Children hahahaha! When my son is born next month, I can't wait for him to learn the ways of Her along with his dad! Thank you everyone hahahahaha! My brother has even come around as well (the crazy old man hahaha) so get ready for one more. Hope you are ready for the boys to finally get back together Hanky ol pal, hahahahaha!


William Reynolds (2001): Luna has helped me through such dark times. For those of you who know, my brother was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. He suffered for a full year with no hope of recovery and had no positive reaction to the treatments. Due to complications one of his lungs collapsed a month ago. The beeping of the heart monitor, him wheezing between cries for help “It hurts mom it hurts!” “Will, please don't leave just yet, I'm so scared”, Was too much for me to bare. I know why I was forsaken, I just could not take seeing it anymore. I could not be there to watch him die and now he is gone. I felt alienated in my own home, labeled a cruel monster for my incapacity for my brothers suffering. My mother could not cope, and after a long nearly catatonic state of despair ended her own life. After the suicide of my mother coupled with the death of my brother, my dad descended into a chronic state of depression and drunkenness. He had no tolerance for me, a sick weakling. Had I not found my true family I would not know what to do with myself. I hate it, I just fucking hate it. Everything my life was before now. But with Her I am at last free and I know with Her power, She can mend all that has been broken. I am sorry Justin, I am so sorry. When She brings you back, please forgive me. Please. I miss you bro. I love you.


Hank Hubbard (1990): This has been the most enlightening and inspirational experience of my short and yet long life. Even now at age 53 I am but still a child. I spend my more recent days with my now wife Ana, as she prefers, awaiting the birth of my son later this year contemplating the ways of our Goddess. I hope that soon as a family we may together experience the glory of ascension, the euphoria of flying as gods in the realms beyond. To shape worlds as we see fit. Glory unto our most exalted Goddess.
