TODAY, THE CROCKING GIRLS
RETURN TO SERVE UP A
SLOW-COOKED FALL FEAST.
AND THEN...
YOUR WORST FEAR, AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN IT IS
HAPPENING.
Lee: A JOGGER IS
KIDNAPPED AND RAPED.
HE GRABBED ME AND THREW
ME TO THE GROUND.
Lee: HOW SHE SURVIVED
HER NIGHTMARE.
I THOUGHT FOR SURE I WAS
GOING TO BE KILLED.
Lee: ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
*
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL
WEEKEND.
TODAY IS A HOLIDAY FOR A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND IT IS
NOT A HOLIDAY FOR A NUMBER
OF OTHER PEOPLE.
Terry: ABSOLUTELY.
WE'RE SALUTING OUR
VETERANS.
Pat: WE SALUTE OUR
VETERANS, WHICH I AM ONE.
YOU AREN'T HEARING ABOUT IT
IN THE MEDIA, BUT A GROWING
NUMBER OF EUROPEANS ARE
WORRIED ABOUT THE RISE OF
RADICAL ISLAM IN THEIR
COUNTRIES.
THE LATEST EXAMPLE IS WHAT?
FRANCE.
Terry: THIS WEEKEND,
THE PEOPLE IN FRANCE HELD A
PATRIOTIC CONFERENCE FOR
CULTURE.
Reporter: THEY CHATTED
AGAINST ISLAMIC FASCISM.
IT WAS THE FIRST MARCH OF
ITS KIND IN FRANCE.
A WIDE COALITION IN
FRANCE HAVE COME TOGETHER
BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY'RE LOSING THEIR COUNTRY
TO RADICAL ISLAM, SHARI'A
LAW AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF
THE SPREAD OF ISLAM 6789.
> ISLAM.
SHARI'A LAW IS SLOWLY COMING
IN OUR COUNTRY.
THE FRENCH PEOPLE WANT TO
DEFEND THEIR HISTORY.
I THINK IT IS NOT ONLY A
PROBLEM OF FRANCE.
IT IS A PROBLEM OF EUROPE.
IT'S A PROBLEM, ALSO, OF THE
U.S.
Reporter: THERE WAS NO
VISIBLE
COUNTERDEMONSTRATION, BUT AN
EGG MANAGED TO HIT ONE
REPORTER.
I WAS JUST HIT WITH AN
EGG.
Reporter: THE MARCH
HAPPENED WEEKS AFTER A GROUP
STORMED A MOSQUE IN
PORTIER.
FRANCE HAS MORE MUSLIMS THAN
ANY OTHER NATION.
SOME BELIEVE THERE COULD BE
15 MILLION MUSLIMS IN
FRANCE.
A NOTED FRENCH WRITER HELPED
ORGANIZE THE MARCH.
WHAT I CALL IT IS A BIG
REPLACEMENT, A CHANGE OF
POPULATION, IS THE BIGGEST
THING WHICH HAS HAPPENED IN
FRENCH HISTORY SINCE 15th
CENTURY.
Reporter: THE LEFTEST
FRENCH MEDIA IGNORED THE
DEMONSTRATION, VIEWING IT AS
RACIST, BUT IT IS CLEAR THE
MOVEMENT TO RESIST RADICAL
ISLAM IS GROWING IN FRANCE.
DALE HERD, CBN NEWS, PARIS.
Pat: IT BETTER GROW.
THERE ARE CERTAIN SO-CALLED
BONIERS, WHO ARE OUT OF
CONTROL.
THE PLACE CAN'T EVEN GO INTO
THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE
DOMINATED BY THE MUSLIMS.
ANYHOW, WHAT DO THEY SAY?
"TOO SOON OLD AND TOO LATE
SMART."
THEY'VE HAD WARNINGS FOR
YEARS AND YEARS, AND THEY'RE
FINALLY WAKING UP, BUT IT IS
PROBABLY TOO LATE.
HERE AT HOME, CONGRESS IS
TRYING TO DEAL WITH A VERY
DEPRESSING PROBLEM, AND IT
IS CALLED THE FISCAL CLIFF.
WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THAT
STORY.
Wendy: PAT, MEMBERS
FROM BOTH PARTIES AND
CONGRESS SAY THEY BELIEVE A
DEAL IS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT
WASHINGTON FROM GOING OFF
THAT SO-CALLED FISCAL CLIFF
ON JANUARY 1st.
IF CONGRESS AND THE WHITE
HOUSE DON'T REACH AN
AGREEMENT ON THE FEDERAL
BUDGET, MAJOR TAX HIKES AND
SOME SPENDING CUTS WILL
AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO
EFFECT.
SEVERAL CONGRESS SAY THEY
DIDN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN.
I CERTAINLY HOPE WE DON'T
KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD.
WE'VE HAD TWO DRY ROADS, AND
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
I SPENT FIVE YEARS TRYING
TO PUT TOGETHER A PACKAGE IN
A BIPARTISAN WAY TO GET US
BACK ON A SOUND FISCAL
COURSE.
Wendy: PRESIDENT OBAMA
AND HOUSE LEADER BOEHNER
HEAD THEY ARE OPEN TO
COMPROMISE.
BUT SOME STICKING POINTS
REMAIN, INCLUDING HOW TO
BRING IN MORE MONEY AND
TAXES FROM HIGH-INCOME
AMERICANS.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO RAISE
TAX RATES.
PAT, CAN THEY AVOID THAT
FISCAL CLIFF?
Pat: THEY'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO, WENDY.
THEY'VE GOT NO CHOICE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE
TRUTH IS, BEFORE GEORGE BUSH
STARTED PUTTING THROUGH HIS
TAX PROPOSALS, WE WERE
PAYING 28% ON CAPITAL
GAINS.
WE WERE PAYING, YOU KNOW, ON
ORDINARY INCOME, ON
DIVIDENDS, WE WERE PAYING
STANDARD TAX RATES.
SO WE HAD A CUT DOWN TO 15%
ON BOTH OF THEM, AND NOW THE
IDEA IS WE SHOULD GET THE
CAPITAL GAINS BACK UP TO
28%.
IF YOU GET IT BACK THE WAY
IT WAS, IT IS NOT THE END OF
THE WORLD.
WE LIVED AS A COUNTRY BEFORE
THAT, AND WE'LL LIVE AS A
COUNTRY BEYOND THAT.
BUT WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO,
IT WILL BE A BODY BLOW TO
THE STOCK MARKET, BECAUSE
PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT STOCKS
THINKING THEY WERE GOING TO
GET LOW TAX DIVIDENDS WILL
CERTAINLY THINK THEY'VE GOT
THE WRONG DIVIDENDS.
AND SO PEOPLE ARE NOW
DUMPING THE SECURITIES AHEAD
OF THE END OF THE YEAR,
WHICH IS HAVING SOME EFFECTS
ON THE MARKETS.
HEY, WE'LL LIVE THROUGH IT.
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF
THESE THINGS, AND WE'LL LIVE
THROUGH THIS ONE.
BUT THIS WHOLE IDEA OF ROVER
NORQUEST, YOU CA CAN'T HAVE
ANY TAX INCREASES, BUT YOU
HAVE TO HAVE SOME TAX
INCREASES.
THE QUESTION IS: HOW DO YOU
DO IT?
WE NEED A WHOLE NEW TAX
CODE.
WE NEED TO GET RID OF THESE
CRAZY REGULATIONS.
I UNDERSTAND, WHAT IS IT,
ABOUT 1100 OF THEM A DAY
THAT ARE COMING DOWN THAT IS
GOING TO BE IMPOSED ON
BUSINESSES.
UNBELIEVABLE WHAT HAS BEEN
LOOSE.
THESE PEOPLE LIKE MONSTER
GETTING READY TO GOBBLE OF
THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
WENDY, I HOPE THEY'RE NOT
AFTER YOU.
Wendy: NOT THAT I KNOW
OF.
THANKS.
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ARE
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TO
QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THE
RESIGNATION OF DAVID
PETRAEUS FROM THE C.I.A.
MANY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE
WHITE HOUSE KNEW AND WHEN.
AND THEN THERE IS A TIMING
OF THE DAVI DAVID PETRAEUS'
RESIGNATION, IT COMES WHEN
HE WAS ABOUT TO TESTIFY
ABOUT THE TERRORIST ATTACK
THAT KILLED FOUR AMERICANS.
WE HAVE
TO GET TO GET TO
THE BECOME OF BENGHAZI.
WE HAVE FOUR DEAD AMERICANS
IN BENGHAZI.
WE HAVE A NATIONAL SECURITY
FAILING IN THE MAKING.
I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN
HAPPEN IN BENGHAZI BEFORE,
DURING, AND AFTER THE
ATTACK, THE GENERAL DOESN'T
TESTIFY.
Wendy: THE ACTING
C.I.A. DIRECTOR WILL TESTIFY
ABOUT BENGHAZI IN A
CLOSED-HEARING ON THURSDAY.
PAT, THIS IS JUST A HUGE
MESS.
Pat: I HOPE HIS
RESIGNATION DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH
BENGHAZI.
I DON'T THINK HE IS A
DEVIOUS HUMAN BEING.
HE IS A BRILLIANT MAN.
HE HAS A Ph.D. FROM
PRINCETON.
AND HIS ANALYSIS OF
COUNTERINSURGENCY IS A
TEXTBOOK FOR THE WHOLE
MILITARY.
WE'LL SADLY MISS A MAN LIKE
THAT.
AND HOW HE WAS DURING THE
C.I.A., NOBODY KNOWS BECAUSE
HE HASN'T BEEN INTEGRATED
THERE LONG ENOUGH.
IT IS AMAZING THAT THE
AFFAIRS OF THE HEART SEEM TO
CATCH THESE GUYS.
THIS IS A FORM -- HE IS A
LIEUTENANT COLONEL.
SHE IS AN EXTREMELY
GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN.
SHE IS A MARATHON RUNNER.
SHE RUNS IRONMAN TRIATHLONS,
AND SO SHE IS OUT RUNNING
WITH HIM AND SHE IS WRITING
A BIOGRAPHY.
I THINK THE TERM IS "PRO
"PROPINQUITY."
AND WHO KNOWS.
THE MAN IS OFF IN A FOREIGN
LAND AND HE IS LONELY, AND
HERE IS A GOOD-LOOKING LADY
THROWING HERSELF AT HIM --
HE'S A MAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE FELT
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE RESIGNED
IF IT DIDN'T AFFECT HIS
WORK.
AS SOMEBODY SAID, THINK WHAT
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT WOULD
HAVE RESIGNED DURING WORLD
WAR II BECAUSE HE HAD
AFFAIRS.
LYNDON B. JOHNSON HAD SERIAL
AFFAIRS, AND YOU GO DOWN THE
LINE, AND IT IS JUST THE WAY
IT IS.
I DON'T CONDONE SEXUAL
IMMORTALITY, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, I DON'T THINK IT
SHOULD BE NECESSARILY A
DISQUAQUALIFICATION FOR
SOMEBODY WHO HEADS THE
C.I.A.
HE IS OUT.
WENDY?
Wendy: THE DEADLY
FIGHTING INTO SYRIA HAS
SPILLED OVER INTO ISRAEL.
ANOTHER MORTER SHELL FROM
SYRIA ACCIDENTALLY LANDED IN
ISRAELI TERRITORY TODAY ON
THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
ISRAEL HAS MADE IT CLEAR IT
WON'T STAND FOR ANY MILITARY
FIRE HITTING ITS LAND.
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS THAT
STORY.
Reporter: ON SUNDAY,
ISRAEL FIRED A WARNING SHOT
INTO SYRIA, AFTER A SYRIAN
MORTER LANDED IN THE GOLAN
HEIGHTS.
WE UNDERSTAND THIS WAS A
MISTAKE.
THIS IS WHY WE ACTUALLY
FIRED WARNING SHOTS IN
RETALIATION.
Reporter: IT MARKED THE
FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1973
YOM KIPPUR WAR THAT ISRAEL
HAD FIRED INTO SYRIA.
ISRAEL WILL DO EVERYTHING
THAT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO
BRING SAFETY TO THE PEOPLE
OF THE ISRAEL AND THOSE
LIVING IN OUR COUNTRY.
ORY ON ISRAEL'S SOUTHERN
BORDER, MORE THAN 120
ROCKETS LANDED IN TOWNS LIKE
STEROTS ON SATURDAY.
ISRAEL OFFICIALS BLAMED
HAMAS, WHO CONTROLS THE GAZA
STRIP, AND THREATENED TO
ESCALATE THEIR MILITARY
RESPONSE.
THE HAMAS CHIEF THINKS
THEY CANNOT HIDE.
THEY'LL HAVE TO BE A TARGET
THEMSELVES, UNTIL THOSE
THINGS ARE OVER.
Reporter: WHILE THE
ROCKET ATTACKS SHOCK ISRAELI
RESIDENTS.
HE SAYS THE ISRAELI
RESIDENTS HAVE UNDURED THE
SITUATION FOR YEARS.
OVER THE DECADES, PEOPLE
HAVE BECOME ACCEPTABLE.
THEY AREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT
ROCKETS HAVE BEEN FIRED.
THAT IS THE ABSURD.
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS, ISRAEL.
Wendy: THAT'S INTEREST,
THE FIRST TIME SHOTS HAVE
BEEN FIRED INTO SYRIA SINCE
1973.
Pat: I DON'T ISRAEL
WANTS A WAR WITH SYRIA, OR
SYRIA WANTS A WAR WITH
ISRAEL.
BUT THEY'VE GOT TURKEY ON
THE OTHER BORDER GIVING THEM
TROUBLE.
SYRIA NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A COUNTRY.
THE ALAWITES WERE THE ONE
SMALL GROUP THAT HAS CLAIMED
POWER.
THEY'RE A SUNNI GROUP, BUT
THEY DON'T REPRESENT ALL OF
THE PEOPLE.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GAZA,
THEY TALK ABOUT LAND FOR
PEACE, LAND FOR PEACE, LAND
FOR PEACE.
AERIAL SHARON GAVE AWAY THE
GAZA.
HE GAVE AWAY THINKING IT HAS
BEEN A MOVE TOWARDS PEACE.
AND INSTEAD OF THAT, IT HAS
BEEN A MOVE TOWARD WAR
BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN FILLED
UP WITH HAMAS, BE AND IT HAS
BEEN USED AS A STAGING
GROUND.
SO GIVING UP LAND DOESN'T DO
IT.
WENDY?
Wendy: PAT, HERE AT
HOME, THE NORTHEAST IS
SHIFTING FROM RECOVERY TO
REBUILDING AFTER SUPERSTORM
SANDY.
AUTHORITIES WARNED THE
PROCESS WILL TAKE TIME, BUT
POWER OUTAGES AND FUEL
SHORTAGES HAVE TEMPERS
WEARING THIN.
BUT UNITY AS VOLUNTEERS FROM
COUNTRY THACROSS THE
COUNTRY OFFER SUPPORT.
Reporter: NEARLY TWO
WEEKS AFTER SUPERSTORM
SANDY, MORE THAN 70P
COSTUMERS AR70 -- 70,000
COSTUMERS ARE STILL WITHOUT
POWER.
IT IS NOT EVEN ANGER
NOW.
NOW IT IS JUST BROKEN
PEOPLE.
Reporter: MEANWHILE,
NEW YORKERS FACED ANOTHER
DAY OF FUEL RATIONING.
MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG
TRYING TO CUT DOWN ON THE
LINE AT GAS STATIONS BY
IMPLEMENTING AN EVEN-ODD
SYSTEM.
THAT MEANS GAS IS AVAILABLE
ONE DAY TO DRIVERS WITH
LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS ENDING
IN AN ODD NUMBER, AND THE
NEXT DAY FOR LICENSE PLATES
ENDING IN AN EVEN NUMBER.
IT WENT A LOT FASTER.
Reporter: AND THERE
WERE AREAS WERE HOMES WERE
DESTROYED, AND IN SOME
PLACES ACTUALLY WASHED
AWAY.
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS ON
SITE IN THOSE AREAS.
VOLUNTEERS ARE DISTRIBUTING
MUCH-NEEDED SUPPLIES, HOT
MEALS, AND HELPING RESIDENTS
CLEAN OUT THEIR HOMES.
I NEVER KNEW WHAT YOU
PEOPLE DID, AND NOW I'M ONE
OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO NEED THE
HELP.
AND ALL THESE YEARS I'VE
DONATED FOR OTHER PEOPLE,
AND NOW I'M ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO NEEDS THE
DONATION.
I THANK GOD FOR
"OPERATION BLESSING" COMING
OUT TO DONATE FOOD,
BLANKETS, THAT WE SO NEED
BECAUSE THE SUPERMARKETS
AROUND HERE ARE VERY
LIMITED.
THIS IS A CASE WHERE
WE'RE ACTUALLY LIKE
SEPTEMBER 11TH, WE'RE
RELYING ON HELP FROM
OTHERS.
AND I'M SPEAKING FOR PEOPLE
RIGHT HERE, THE YOUNG MEN
AND WOMEN ON YOUR TEAM, AND
SO I THANK YOU.
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Wendy: PAT, MY HEART
GOES OUT.
ESPECIALLY THAT LADY WHO
SAYS SHE IS ONE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO NEEDS THE HELP.
I'M SO GLAD "OPERATION
BLESSING" IS THERE.
Pat: WE'RE COVERING
THAT WHOLE AREA.
I UNDERSTAND WE'VE BEEN
ASKED TO COORDINATE THE
VOLUNTEERS IN THE BREEZY
POINT THING, WHICH IS SO
BADLY HIT.
WE'RE WORKING IN FAR AWAY
RO ROCKAWAY AND IN STATEN
ISLAND WITH FOOD
DISTRIBUTION.
PEOPLE DESPERATELY NEED
HELP, AND WE'VE BEEN
HELPING.
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE,
IT IS DISASTER RELIEF, CBN
CENTER, VIRGINIA BEACH,
VIRGINIA, 26343, OR YOU CAN
LOG ON TO CBN.COM.
YOU WISH YOU CAN DO MORE,
BUT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN,
AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IS
VIOLENT.
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
ABOUT AS EFFICIENT A CHARITY
AS THERE IS IN AMERICA.
AND THE FUNDS THAT ARE
DONATED GET TO WHERE THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO GO.
AND IT'S REALLY VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT.
TERRY?
Terry: WELL, WE'VE GOT
SOME GOOD NEWS.
COMING UP -- THIS ISN'T THE
GOOD NEWS.
BUT COMING UP, AN
UNBELIEVABLE STORY, A CHURCH
IS TORN TO THE GROUND.
NOT ONLY DID THE POLICE NOT
STOP IT, BUT THEY WERE THE
VERY ONES WHO HELPED WITH
THE DEMOLITION.
YOU'LL SEE WHY.
AND THEN, LATER, SINCE THE
WEATHER IS GETTING COLDER --
THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS --
WE'RE GOING TO BE HEATING UP
WITH A CROCKPOT.
AND KRISTIN DOHERTY, YOU'RE
GOING TO BE COOKING WITH US
AND THE CROOK POT GIRLS.
SHE HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO STICK WITH US.
Pat: HOW DOES THIS ONE
GRAB YOU?
DOZENS OF MEN WITH HEAVY
EQUIPMENT RECENTLY ATTACKED
AND DEMOLISHED A PENTECOSTAL
CHURCH, AND THE POLICE
SIMPLY STOOD BY AND
WATCHED.
THE ASSAULT TOOK PLACE
OUTSIDE MOSCOW.
AND IT'S RAISING CONCERNS
THAT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS
FADING IN RUSSIA.
GEORGE THOMAS HAS THAT
AMAZING STORY.
IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM
TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 6,
2011.
WHAT THEY DID WAS NOT
RIGHT.
WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO
SAVE THE BIBLES.
Reporter: ON A RECENT
MORNING ON THE EDGE OF
MOSCOW, THIS 12-YEAR-OLD AND
A HANDFUL OF HER FRIENDS
HELD SUNDAY SCHOOL ON THE
STEPS OF WHAT USED TO BE THE
ENTRANCE OF THEIR CHURCH.
I WANT THE PEOPLE WHO DID
THIS TO KNOW, I STILL LOVE
CHRIST AND I'M GOING TO PRAY
FOR THEM IN OUR COUNTRY.
Reporter: IN THE EARLY
HOURS OF THAT SEPTEMBER
MORNING, ABOUT 45 MEN,
BACKED BY LOCAL RUSSIAN
POLICE, DESCENDED ON HOLY
TRINITY PENTECOSTAL CHURCH.
I GOT HERE ABOUT 4 A.M.
AND SAW TWO LARGE EXCAVATORS
TEARING THROUGH THE CHURCH
BUILDING.
Reporter: AS WORD
SPREAD, OTHER CHURCH MEMBERS
RUSHED TO TRY TO SAVE THE
CHURCH.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE
SOUND OF MY CHURCH BEING
CRUSHED.
IT WAS SO PAINFUL.
Reporter: THE PASTOR
ALSO TRIED TO STOP THE MEN,
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.
THIS IS VIDEO OF HIM THAT
NIGHT.
WHEN I TRIED TO GET INTO
THE TERRITORY, I WAS STOPPED
BY DRUNK, TOUGH GUYS, WHO
INTRODUCED THEMSELVES AS A
VIGILANT GROUP ACTING ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY
DISTRICT.
THEY REFUSED TO SHOW THEIR
I.D.s AND PAPERS.
Reporter: BY 3 A.M.,
THE THREE-STORY BUILDING WAS
IN RUINS.
UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT WE'RE
SEEING TODAY IS NOTHING
NEW.
FOR DECADES, EVANGELICAL
CHRISTIANS IN RUSSIA HAVE
EXPERIENCED SIMILAR OR
WORSE.
Reporter: HOLY TRINITY
PENTECOSTAL CHURCH BECAME
REGISTERED IN THE 1970s.
IN 1995, THE CHURCH WAS
FORCED OUT OF HIS ORIGINAL
BUILDING AND MOVED TO THIS
SITE SOME 45 MINUTES OUTSIDE
MOSCOW.
THE CHURCH ERECTED A
TEMPORARY BUILDING, BUT
BATTLED AUTHORITIES OVER
BUILDING PERMITS.
FOR 17 YEARS THE CITY EVEN
PREVENTED THE CHURCH ACCESS
TO WATER AND ELECTRICITY.
THEN IN LATE AUGUST, 2012, A
DISTRICT OFFICIAL NOTIFIED
ROMAN NEUTE THAT THE CHURCH
WAS SLATED FOR DEMOLITION.
THIS MAN RUNS A CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITY IN MOSCOW.
THEY HAVE CHOOSE SEN, IN
FRONT OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY,
IN FRONT OF THE WORLD, IN
MOSCOW, IN THE CAPITAL, JUST
TO LEVEL THE EVANGELICAL
CHURCH, MAKING THAT
STATEMENT.
Reporter: EVEN THOUGH
THE COUNTRY'S CONSTITUTION
CLEARLY STATES THAT ALL
RELIGIONS ARE EQUAL BEFORE
THE LAW, THE GOVERNMENT IS
OFTEN ACCUSED OF
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
CITIZENS WHO PROFESS FAITH
OTHER THAN ORTHODOX
CHRISTIANITY.
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
ORTHODOX CHURCH VIEW US
EVANGELICALS AS A THREAT.
THEY SEE OUR CONGREGATIONS
GROWING, AND THEY SEE HOW
DYNAMIC OUR SERVICES ARE AND
THEY'RE THREATENED BY IT.
Reporter: A LEADING
HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER IN
MOSCOW SAYS HOLY TRINITY
CHALLENGES ARE LEGAL
PROPERTIES ARE PART OF A
CHALLENGE FOR EVANGELICALS.
BECOME LINE, THIS IS
DISCRIMINATION.
THIS YEAR ALONE, THE
GOVERNMENT HAS GIVEN THE
RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH 200
PERMITS.
Reporter: AND WHAT EF
CULLS AR EVANGELICALS, MOST
CONCERNED ABOUT IS THEY
ACCUSE VLADIMIR PUTIN OF
TEARING DOWN WALLS BETWEEN
CHURCH AND STATE.
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR OF AN
ORTHODOX CHURCH BEING
BULLDOZED AND RANSACKED IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
Reporter: BACK ON THE
GROUNDS OF HOLY TRINITY,
ROMAN NEUTE AND THE
CONGREGATION ARE PRESSING
FORWARD.
THEY'RE HOLDING WEEKLY
SERVICES IN A LARGE TENT
NEXT TO THE DEMOLISHED
CHURCH.
THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE
CITY WANTS TO TURN THE LAND
INTO A LARGE SPORTS
COMPLEX.
I NEVER IMAGINED IN MY
LIFE I WOULD GO THROUGH SUCH
AN EXPERIENCE.
BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I
FEEL EMBOLDENED AND FULL OF
HOPE, THANKS TO PRAYERS FROM
CHRISTIANS AROUND THE
WORLD.
Reporter: 12-YEAR-OLD
SVETA IS HOPEFUL.
SINCE THIS HAPPENED, I
HAVE BEEN ASKING GOD TO GIVE
US ANOTHER PLACE THAT WE CAN
SHARE WITH OTHERS.
I KNOW GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF
US.
Pat: IT IS AN OPEN
SECRET THAT DURING THE COLD
WAR THAT THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
WAS ACTUALLY A BRANCH OF THE
K.G.B.
ARCHBISHOP NIKIDINE, THE
HEAD OF THE CHURCH, WAS
APPARENTLY THE HEAD OF THE
K.G.B.
THE TIES HAVE BEEN CLOSE,
AND PUTIN HAS DRAWN THEM
CLOSER TOGETHER NOW THAT HE
IS IN.
BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS A
WILLING HAND MAID, IF YOU
WILL, OF THE GOVERNMENT.
AND THEY'RE LABELLED AS
CUTS.
THEY HAVE A LAW ABOUT CUTS.
SOMEHOW THE BAPTIST TISTING
ARE GETTING AWAY WITH SOME
OF IT, BUT THE PENTECOSTALS
DON'T HAVE THE STANDING.
IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT
LOOKED LIKE THE RUSSIAN
CHURCH AND THE RUSSIAN
SOCIETY WAS OPENING UP TO
CHRISTIANITY.
AND IT WAS A VERY
ENCOURAGING THING.
I WAS OVER THERE, AND THERE
WAS A GREAT DEAL OF
FREEDOM.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
THIS THING HAS DESCENDED
LIKE A DARK BLANKET, AND WE
JUST NEED TO PRAYE PRAY FOR
OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS IN
THAT SOCIETY.
BUT THIS IS ONLY ONE PLACE
AROUND THE GLOBE, AND THERE
ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS, WHERE
CHRISTIANS ARE SUFFERING AND
BEING PERSECUTED.
PRAY FOR THOSE PEOPLE, THEY
NEED YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR
LOVE.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP, WE
HAVE A
FALL FEAST
FOR THE
FOOTBALL FAN.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
SIMPLE WAYS TO COOK A HEARTY
AND HEALTHY MEAL.
AND THEN, DON'T FORGET,
WE'RE GOING TO BE COOKING
WITH ONE OF OUR AUDIENCE
MEMBERS.
WE HAVE SCOOPED HER OUT OF
THE AUDIENCE.
SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT
THIS.
THERE IS KRISTIN DOHERTY,
WHO IS GETTING ALL DOLLED UP
FOR THE KITCHEN.
AND WE'RE GOING TO COOK SOME
AMAZING THINGS WITH THE
CROOKING GIRLS.
STAY WITH US.
WE'LL BE BACK.
STILL AHEAD...ONE OUT OF
EVERY SIX AMERICANS HAS BEEN
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
THIS IS MY WORST FEAR AND
IT IS HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT
NOW.
THESE WOMEN ARE AMONG
THEM.
I THOUGHT AT THAT TIME,
FOR SURE I WAS GOING TO BE
KILLED.
WHY THEY'RE SHARING THEIR
STORY.
I HEARD HIM SAY, I'M
GOING TO WORK THIS OUT FOR
GOOD.
AND THEIR MESSAGE OF
HOPE.
ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
ONLY HE CAN DO THAT.
Terry: GETTING READY
FOR THE BIG GAME?
WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A
TV, A COMFY CHAIR, AND A
CROOK POT OR THREE.
TAKE A LOOK.
Reporter: WHETHER
YOU'RE PLAYING A FRIENDLY
GAME OF FOOTBALL OR WATCHING
IT ON TV, THERE IS NOTHING
LIKE TASTY TREATS TO SATISFY
HEARTY APPETITES.
FROM APPETIZERS TO MAIN
MEALS, THE CROOKING GIRLS
HAVE STRESS-FREE RECIPES FOR
YOUR CROCKPOT.
YOU'LL SERVE CROWD-PLEASING
FINGER FOODS GUARANTEED.
Terry: WELL, THE
CROCKING GIRLS ARE WITH US.
NICOLE AND JENNA.
LADIES, WELCOME BACK TO "THE
700 CLUB."
THANK YOU.
WE'RE SO EXCITED TO BE
BACK.
Terry: YOU STARTED THIS
NOT BECAUSE YOU LOVED
CROCKPOTS SO MUCH,
BUT OUT
OF NECESSITY, REALLY.
TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU GOT
STARTED.
WE'RE JUST MOMMIES TRYING
TO BRING A HOME-COOKED MEAL
TO THE TABLE, AND THAT'S
WHAT OUR
SLOW COOKER HELPED
US DO.
Terry: TELL ME WHY FALL
IS A GREAT TIME FOR THE
CROCKPOT.
IN AUGUST SCHOOL STARTS,
AND YOU DON'T STOP UNTIL THE
HOLIDAYS.
IT
IS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE
SOMETHING COOKING WHEN YOU
GET HOME.
Terry: AND IT SMELLS SO
GREAT WHEN YOU GET HOME?
YES.
AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE
DONE SOMETHING FOR YOUR
FAMILY INSTEAD OF STOPPING
FOR FAST FOOD.
Terry: ONE OF THE
THINGS MY FAMILY LIKES IS
MEATBALLS, LET'S TALK ABOUT
THAT.
WE LOVE US SOME
MEATBALLS.
THESE ARE SIMPLE MEATBALLS,
YOU BASICALLY CAN COOK THEM
IN YOUR SLOW COOKER ON LOW.
FOR A GOOD TIME THROUGHOUT
THE PARTY.
AND JUST HAVE A LITTLE
APPETIZER ON EVEN HAVE A
MEATBALL SANDWICH.
Terry: WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE WITH THEM?
THIS IS JUST GROUND BEEF?
YES.
JUST GROUND BEEF.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF
RECIPES IN OUR COOKBOOK FOR
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RECIPES.
YOU CAN DO HOME MADE
MEATBALLS OR YOU CAN ADD
FROZEN THINGS.
THESE DON'T HAVE ANY MAR
MARINARA, BUT IF THEY WERE
LEFT OVER, I WOULD ADD
MARINARA AN FOR A SUB
SANDWICH.
Terry: AT THIS TIME, WE
WANT TO BRING OUT ONE OF THE
MEMBERS OF OUR AUDIENCE, WHO
IS A BIG FAN OF YOU LADIES.
SHE HAS BEEN USING HER
RECIPES, I UNDERSTAND, IN
HER OWN KITCHEN.
KRISTIN DOHERTY, COME ON
IN.
WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
YOU'RE A TRUE CROCKING
GIRL?
I AM.
Terry: AND NOW SHE IS A
TV HOST.
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING YOU
WANT KRISTIN TO HELP YOU.
WE DO.
THESE ARE BACON-WRAPPED
SMOKIES.
YOU TAKE BACON AND CUT IT
INTO THIRDS.
AND YOU
TAKE THE LITTLE
SMOKIES AND JUST WRAP THEM
UP.
THESE ARE -- MY KIDS LOVE
THESE, OF COURSE.
THEY LOVE LITTLE SMOKIES.
AND THEY ARE GREAT.
SO YOU JUST ROLL THEM UP AND
STICK THEM WITH A TOOTHPICK
AND THEN JUST PUT THEM INTO
THE SLOW COOKER, AND TOPPED
WITH BROWN SUGAR.
Terry: YOU'RE GOING TO
KEEP DOING THESE, AND YOU
HAVE ANOTHER WONDERFUL
RECIPE, I THINK, FOR THE
FALL.
BARBECUED CHICKEN SLIDERS.
THEY SOUND GOOD.
THESE ARE ONE OF THOSE
THINGS YOU CAN MAKE AN
APPETIZER SPREAD INTO A
MEAL.
IT IS A LITTLE MORE HARDY.
THE BEAUTY OF IT IS A DUMP
AND GO RECIPE.
YOU HAVE THE CHICKEN, YOU
PUT YOUR SAUCE IN.
THIS CAN STAY ON WARM.
THAT'S WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT
ALL OF THIS.
WHEN WE'RE HOSTING THE
PARTY, WE DON'T WANT TO BE
IN THE KITCHEN.
WE WANT TO BE SOCIALIZING.
Terry: HERE, HERE.
AND YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR
TOPPINGS WHERE THEY CAN PUT
WHAT THEY WANT ON IT.
Terry: AND YOU ARE GOOD
TO GO.
AND EASY.
YOU CAN DO ALL OF THIS AHEAD
OF TIME.
NO HEAVY WORK IN THE KITCHEN
ONCE YOUR GUESTS ARE THERE.
WONDERFUL.
BEAUTIFUL.
LOOK AT HOW THE PRESENTATION
IS UP HERE.
IT IS A PRETTY MEAL.
YES.
WE LOVE DOING SPREADS AND
HAVING IT ALL OUT FOR
EVERYBODY WHEN THEY COME.
Terry: WHAT'S THESE?
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU A
FEW DIPS HERE.
THIS ONE WE'RE MAKING IS A
BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP.
I LOVE SPICY.
IT'S NOT NICOLE'S FAVORITE,
BUT MAYBE THE CREAM CHEESE
AND THE DRESSING WILL MAKE
THAT MILDER.
SHE KNOWS ME TOO WELL.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT ALL OF
THESE INGREDIENTS IN.
EVERYTHING GOES IN.
Terry: EVERYTHING GOES
IN.
BUFFALO JUST SCREAMS
FOOTBALL, THE SPORTS FOOD.
THIS IS A BUFFALO SAUCE.
JUST A WING SAUCE.
WE HAVE BLUE CHEESE
CRUMBLES, AND I THREW IN
SOME CELERY, AND THAT'S A
BLUE CHEESE DRESSING.
Terry: WOW!
WOW!
WE ACTUALLY HAVE IT
SERVED ON CELERY.
YOU CAN COMBINE ALL OF
THESE, OR YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL
THE END.
YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING TO
COOK THIS ON LOW UNTIL IT IS
HEATED THROUGH AND
EVERYTHING IS MELTED.
Terry: OKAY.
YOU CAN SERVE THIS WITH
CHIPS, BUT I THINK IT LOOKS
GREAT --
Terry: THERE IS A BIT
HERE, AND YOU PIT I -- PUT
IT IN HE'S LITTLE BITS OF
CELERY.
THAT IS TASTY.
YOU HAVE THE SPINACH
ARTICHOKE AND IT LOOKS GREAT
IN A SERVING BOWEL.
AND HOPEFULLY YOU'RE TEAM
WINS.
Terry: WE ALL HOPE
THAT.
WE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU CAN
CONCEIVABLY NEED FOR ANY
SUPER BOWL OR SUPER BOWL
PARTY.
DO YOU GET YOUR CROCKPOTS
ALL GOING AT THE SAME TIME?
YES.
WE HAVE QUITE A BIT BETWEEN
US.
SO ANY TIME YOU CAN WALK
INTO OUR HOME AND WE HAVE
CROCKS GOING.
Terry: THAT IS USING IT
FOR EVERYTHING.
KRISTIN, WHAT YOU DO LIKE
THE MOST ABOUT SLOW
COOKING?
THAT I DON'T HAVE TO COOK
IN MY OVEN.
IT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I
COOK, REALLY.
Terry: REALLY?
SO IT IS A DAILY EVENT AT
YOUR HOUSE?
IT IS.
IT IS JUST MY HUSBAND AND I,
BUT I COOK THREE TO FOUR
TIMES A WEEK AND THEN WE
HAVE LEFTOVERS.
I HAVE EIGHT CROCKPOTS.
Terry: EIGHT?
DO YOU GUYS HAVE EIGHT?
WE HAVE PROBABLY, NOW --
WE JUST GOT A FEW MORE, WE
PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT 32
BETWEEN BOTH OF US.
IT IS A PROBLEM.
IT IS LIKE SHOES, WE JUST
KEEP ADDING TO OUR
SELECTIONS.
Terry: THEY COME IN ALL
SIZES, SHAPES, AND COLORS.
THEY DO.
Terry: KRISTIN, WE ARE
GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE AND
YOU WERE ABLE TO MEET THE
GIRLS AND HELP THEM.
I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT
SOMETHING AWESOME, AS PART
OF OUR PARTING GIFT, JENNA
AND NICOLE ARE GOING TO GIVE
TO OUR GUESTS A FEW GOODIES
AND A SIGNED COPY OF THEIR
BOOK.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU CAN
GET THEIR COOKBOOK IN STORES
NATIONWIDE, AND IT IS CALLED
"THE CROCKING GIRLS' SLOW
COOKING COMPANION."
AND IT IS FILLED WITH
AWESOME RECIPES.
I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THIS,
AND IT IS REALLY FUN.
THIS IS A NEW MAGAZINE
RELEASING LOTS OF THEIR
RECIPES CALLED "CROCKING FOR
THE HOLIDAYS."
THERE IS NOT A PAGE IN HERE
THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME RECIPE
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.
YOU CAN PICK ONE UP.

AND YOU'LL HAVE LOTS OF TEAM
TO PLAN YOUR HOLIDAY MEALS.
FUN, FUN, FUN.
WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK WITH
MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
SO STAY WITH US.
Wendy: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYONE, TO "THE 700
CLUB."
THE MOHAVE DESERT MEMORIAL
CROSS WAS RESTORED ON
SUNDAY.
IT WAS ORIGINALLY ERECTED
BACK IN 1934, BUT IT WAS
DEEMED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
IN 2010, THE COVERED-UP
CROSS WAS STOLEN AND
RECENTLY RECOVERED BY
POLICE.
IN APRIL, A FEDERAL JUDGE
ALLOWED THE NATIONAL PARK
SERVICE TO TURN OVER THE
LAND, WHERE THE ORIGINAL
CROSS STOOD, TO VETERANS'
GROUPS.
VETERANS DECIDED TO START
OVER AND THEY ERECTED A
SEVEN-FOOT STEEL CROSS ON
SUNDAY.
AND HOPEFULLY NOBODY WILL BE
STEALING THAT ONE.
CBN WILL BE SPREADING THE
WORD OF JESUS CHRIST IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
TEENS ARE ABLE TO SHOW CBN
PROGRAMMING TO THOUSANDS.
CBN RECENTLY SHOWED 72
VIDEOS TO RURAL VILLAGES IN
NIGERIA, GHANA, AND
LIBERIA.
MORE THAN 3,000 PEOPLE
DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS.
CBN PROVIDES NEW BELIEVERS
ABOUT A BOOK ABOUT JESUS AND
LOCAL CHURCHESFULLYUP. CHURCHES FOLLOW UP.
PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: EMILY LOVED TO
RUN.
SHE KNEW HER JOGGING ROUTE
WELL.
BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
SOMEONE ELSE KNEW HER
JOGGING ROUTE, TOO.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS, LIKE,
YOUR WORST FEAR, AND ALL OF
A SUDDEN IT IS HAPPENING.
Reporter: EMILIE CLOT
IT WAS OUT JOGGING WHEN HER
WORST FEAR BECAME REALITY.
I SAW A MAN COMING
TOWARDS ME, ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE STREET.
HE RAN ACROSS THE STREET AND
GRABBED ME AND SPRAYED
PEPPERSPRAY IN MY FACE.
AND DRAGGED ME ACROSS THE
STREET TO WHERE HIS CAR WAS
PARKED IN THE WOODS AND
THREW ME IN THE TRUNK OF HIS
CAR.
IT WAS MY WORST FEAR AND IT
IS HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT
NOW.
Reporter: SHE WAS
TRAPPED IN DARKNESS AS THE
MAN DROVE AROUND, PLANNING
HIS NEXT MOVE.
I FELT AROUND AND I FOUND
A ROLL OF DUCT TAPE AND A
SCREWDRIVER AND HANDCUFFS.
AND SO I THOUGHT AT THAT
TIME FOR SURE I WAS GOING TO
BE KILLED.
IN THE BACK OF MY MIND,
THOUGH, I HAD ALL OF THESE
REGRETS, THINKING I HAVEN'T
BEEN MARRIED YET.
I WANT TO HAVE KIDS.
ALL OF THESE REGRETS THAT MY
LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
Reporter: TO CALM
HERSELF, SHE SANG SONGS SHE
LEARNED AT CHURCH AS A YOUNG
GIRL.
I SANG SOME DIFFERENT
HYMNS AND THINGS THAT I
KNEW, AND I DID FEEL THAT
GOD'S PRESENCE WAS WITH ME.
HE WAS THERE WITH ME.
HE COMFORTED ME.
HIS PEACE WAS THERE IN THE
TRUNK OF THE CAR, AND HE
KEPT ME ALIVE.
AND THE MAN WHO WAS DRIVING
THE CAR MUST HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED, BECAUSE HE TURNED
HIS RADIO ON, AND HE TURNED
IT WAY UP TO DROWN OUT THE
SOUND OF ME SINGING AND
PRAYING.
Reporter: AN HOUR
LATER, THE CAR CAME TO A
STOP AND THE TRUNK OPENED.
EMILY TRIED TO MAKE HER
ESCAPE.
I WAS ABLE TO SCRATCH HIS
FACE, BUT HE GRABBED ME AND
THREW ME TO THE GROUND.
AT THAT POINT, I LOOKED AT
HIM AND I SAID, ARE YOU
WORKING FOR THE DEVIL.
AND HE LOOKED AT ME FUNNY,
AND HE SAID NO.
AND I SAID, WELL, GOD IS
WITH ME.
Reporter: EMILY WAS
THROWN BACK IN THE TRUNK AND
TIED UP.
45 MINUTES LATER THEY
STOPPED AGAIN, AT A HOUSE.
HE BROUGHT ME TO AN
UPSTAIRS ROOM IN THE HOUSE,
AND HANDCUFFED MY HANDS TO A
BAR THAT WAS NEAR THE
FLOOR.
AND THERE HE BRUTALLY RAPED
ME.
Reporter: WHEN IT WAS
ALL OVER, SHE WAS PLACED IN
THE BACK SEAT OF HIS CAR.
HER ATTACKER MADE A STRANGE
REQUEST.
HE ASKED HER TO SING.
I BEGAN SINGING AMAZING
GRACE IN THE CAR.
AND I REALLY FEEL THIS WAS
GOD THAT GAVE ME THAT SONG
TO SING BECAUSE NOT ONLY DID
THIS MAN, WHO HAD JUST DONE
THIS HORRIBLE THING TO ME,
HE NEEDED GOD'S GRACE, AND
HE COULD BE SAVED IF HE
RECEIVED GOD'S GRACE.
BUT, ALSO, I NEEDED GOD'S
GRACE JUST AS MUCH.
EVEN THOUGH I HAD GROWN UP
IN CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND
GROWN UP IN CHURCH.
AND I HAD THAT RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE LORD, I HADN'T
RECEIVED THAT GRACE.
SO I NEEDED IT JUST AS MUCH
AS THIS MAN WHO HAD DONE
THIS HORRIBLE THING.
SHE WAS LEFT IN A PARKING
LOT NEAR A COLLEGE AND
CALLED THE POLICE.
HER ATTACKER WAS ARRESTED
THE NEXT DAY, BUT EMILY WAS
LEFT WITH DEEP SCARS.
I WAS PHYSICALLY
HURTING.
I WAS EMOTIONALLY HURTING.
I WAS ANGRY, FOR SURE.
AT THE MAN WHO HAD DONE
THIS.
AND ANGRY AT ALL OF THE
THINGS I HAD TO GO THROUGH
TO HEAL UP.
ANGRY AT THE WHOLE
SITUATION, THAT IT HAD
HAPPENED.
Reporter: A FRIEND TOLD
EMILY THAT GOD LOVED HER AND
WANTED TO HEAL HER.
AND I WAS ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT JESUS
GAVE EVERYTHING, HE GAVE HIS
LIFE FOR ME BECAUSE HE LOVES
ME SO MUCH.
AND HE OFFERS IT TO ME, AND
IF I JUST TAKE IT AND OPEN
THAT GIFT, I CAN HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE.
I PRAYED A VERY SIMPLE
PRAYER.
LORD, I DO WANT TO SERVE YOU
WITH MY LIFE.
I WANT TO LOVE YOU WITH ALL
OF THAT I AM, RECEIVE YOU
INTO MY HEART.
I WANT MY HEART TO BE FULLY
YOURS.
IMMEDIATELY THE WORD CAME
ALIVE TO ME, LIKE IT NEVER
HAD BEFORE.
AND BECAUSE I HEARD HIM SAY,
I'M GOING TO WORK THIS OUT
FOR GOOD, I BEGAN LOOKING
FOR GOOD THINGS TO COME OUT
OF THIS.
I FELT THE LORD WANTED ME TO
FORGIVE THE MAN WHO HAD
RAPED ME.
HE REMINDED ME OF JESUS ON
THE CROSS, WHEN HE SAID,
"FATHER FORGIVE THEM, THEY
KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO."
SO I CHOSE TO FORGIVE THIS
MAN AND I SAID HIS NAME OUT
LOUD, AND I ASKED FATHER TO
FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS
DONE.
AFTER THAT, I BEGAN PRAYING
FOR HIM OFTEN, FOR HIS
SALVATION.
THAT WAS A HUGE STEP IN MY
HEALING, THE FORGIVING HIM.
VERY QUICKLY THE ANGER
STARTED GOING AWAY, AND THE
PAIN OF THE SITUATION
STARTED TO LEAVE AS WELL.
ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
ONLY HE CAN DO THAT.
Reporter: HER ATTACKER
WAS GIVEN THE MAXIMUM
SENTENCE FOR HIS ACTIONS.
EMILY'S WORDS, "ARE YOU
WORKING FOR THE DEVIL," AND
SONGS OF "AMAZING GRACE"
WERE CONSTANTLY ON HIS MIND
THEN.
TWO YEARS INTO HIS
INCARCERATION, HE ASKED GOD
TO FORGIVE HIS SINS AND MAKE
HIM NEW.
EMILY FOUND OUT THROUGH A
NEWS REPORTER COVERING
INMATES AT THE
PENITENTIARY.
AND HE GAVE HIS HEART TO
THE LORD, AND ASKED JESUS TO
BE HIS SAVIOR, AND NOW HE
ADMINISTERS TO OTHER INMATES
IN PRISON.
WHEN I HEARD THIS STORY FROM
A REPORTER, I JUMPED UP AND
DOWN, PRAISING GOD IN MY
KITCHEN.
I WAS SO EXCITED TO KNOW
THAT MY PRAYERS HAD BEEN
ANSWERED.
LORD, YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY
PRAYERS.
FORGIVENESS SETS PEOPLE
FREE.
SETS THE FORGIVER FREE, BUT
IT ALSO ALLOWS GOD TO WORK
ON THE HEART OF THE ONE WHO
IS BEING FORGIVEN.
GOD HELPED ME TO FORGIVE
INSTEAD OF HOLDING
BITTERNESS AND HATRED
TOWARDS THIS PERSON.
IT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL
PICTURE OF HIS GRACE, THAT
NO ONE IS EVER BEYOND THE
REACH OF HIS LOVE AND HIS
GRACE, NO MATTER WHAT
THEY'VE DONE.
Terry: THAT'S A
POWERFUL STORY, ISN'T IT?
A SAD FACT IS THAT EVERY TWO
MINUTES -- EVERY TWO MINUTES
SOMEONE IS SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED IN OUR COUNTRY.
AND ONE OUT OF EVERY SIX
WOMEN WILL BE A VICTIM.
THESE ARE STATISTICS
ROSEMARY TRIPLE KNOWS ALL
TOO WELL.
SHE PRODUCED A
GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM ON
SEXUAL ABUSE, RIGHT BEFORE
SHE, HERSELF, WAS RAPED.
Reporter: THE TRAUMA OF
RAPE IS BEYOND MOST PEOPLE'S
IMAGINATIONS, BUT ROSEMARY
TRIPLE UNDERSTANDS.
SHE SURVIVED A BRUTAL RAPE
AND IS USING HER EXPERIENCE
TO BRING OTHERS HEALING.
OFFERING HOPE ONE BOX AT A
TIME.
VOLUNTEERS FOR HER
NON-PROFIT, "FEAR TO
FREEDOM" LOVINGLY PACK
AFTER-CARE KITS FOR RAPE AND
ASSAULT VICTIMS.
WHILE THE ORGANIZATION CAN'T
TAKE AWAY THE PAIN,
VOLUNTEERS HOPE TO BRING
HEALING THROUGH COMPASSION,
AND ENCOURAGE VICTIMS ON
THEIR JOURNEYS FROM FEAR TO
FREEDOM.
Terry: ROSEMARY TRIPLE
IS WITH US NOW.
AND ROSEMARY, WE THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON
"THE 700 CLUB."
AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU
EXPERIENCED A RAPE YOURSELF
THAT DRAMATICALLY AFFECTED
YOUR LIFE.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU?
YES.
AND WHEN I HEAR A STORY LIKE
EMILY'S, IT JUST BREAKS MY
HEART.
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND, AS
I'VE WALKED THROUGH WITH SO
MANY WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN
SEXUALLY ASSAULT, THIS PAIN
OF ASSAULT.
YES, MY OWN PASSION FOR THIS
TOPIC CAME WHEN I WAS 25
YEARS OLD AND HAD THIS
TELEVISION TALK SHOW IN
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.
I LOVED THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE ON THE SHOW AND FOR TWO
YEARS TO HOST DIFFERENT
PEOPLE.
BUT DOING A SHOW ON SEXUAL
ASSAULT IN 1975 WAS
SOMETHING THAT NOBODY WAS
TALKING ABOUT.
THE RESPONSE WAS AMAZING.
HUNDREDS OF WOMEN WHO HAD
NEVER BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED FOR
THE PAIN THAT THEY HAD
RECEIVED.
AFTERWARDS, HUNDREDS OF
CALLS, AND YET ONLY FOUR
DAYS LATER I WOULD HAVE
NEVER DREAMED THAT I WAS
GOING TO BE THE NEXT
VICTIM.
Terry: AND FOR YOU, YOU
SAID THAT THE WORST PART, AS
TERRIBLE AS THE ASSAULT
ITSELF WAS, THE WORST PART
IS THE FEAR THAT LINGERS
AFTERWARDS.
HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH THAT?
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THE MEMORY OF HIM SAYING,
WHEN HE FIRST GRABBED ME
FROM BEHIND, I KNOW WHO YOU
ARE, I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE,
AND I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU
TELL.
AS HE CONTINUED THAT
DEVASTATING DREAM, IT'S
ALMOST LIKE A TAPE RECORDER
THAT YOU CAN'T TURN OFF.
Terry: AND THEN YOU
WENT THROUGH A ROBBERY,
SHORTLY AFTER THAT, AN
INVASION IN YOUR HOME?
AND THAT ALSO ADDED TO
THE FEAR.
AT THAT POINT I HAD A
2-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL AND
THAT ADDED TO THAT TRAUMA.
FOR ME, AS WELL, IT WAS
FORGIVENESS THAT WAS TRULY
THE THING THAT SET ME FREE.
AND I'M SO THANKFUL ALSO TO
THE LORD BECAUSE IT IS WHAT
SET FREE MY OFFENDER AS
WELL.
Terry: WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT THIS IS THAT YOU HAVE
TAKEN THE NEGATIVE THAT
HAPPENED TO YOU AND YOU'RE
DOING SOMETHING AMAZING FOR
OTHERS WITH IT.
YOU HAVE AN ORGANIZATION
THAT'S CALLED "FEAR 2
FREEDOM."
TELL ME ABOUT THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT AND
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WE WANT TO REDEEM AND
RESTORE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
SEXUALLY ASSAULTED, AND GIVE
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING
HOPE AND HEALING.
IT GOES BACK TO THE FACT
THAT EVERY TWO MINUTES IN
OUR COUNTRY, SOMEONE IN OUR
COUNTRY IS SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED.
WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF
REDEEMING JOY.
Terry: HOW DO YOU DO
THAT?
A COMBINATION OF A
PROGRAM CALLED "WHERE IS THE
LINE" FOR UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS.
PARTNERS THE STUDENTS WITH
THOSE IN A HOSPITAL, SO WE
CAN PRODUCE THESE WONDERFUL
"FEAR 2 FREEDOM" KITS TO
BRING A LITTLE REDEEMED JOY
INTO THEIR HEARTS.
Terry: THESE ARE SO
BEAUTIFULLY DONE.
YOU HAVEN'T JUST
THOUGHTFULLY PUT THINGS INTO
IT.
YOU BEAUTIFULLY HAVE PUT
THINGS INTO SOMETHING THAT
IS GOING TO COME IN TOUCH
WITH PEOPLE AT A VERY UGLY,
FRIGHTENING TIME IN THEIR
LIVES.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE
INVOLVED COLLEGE STUDENTS IN
THIS BECAUSE SOME OF THESE
STATS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
ARE MOST PREVALENT ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE FOUR
TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
SEXUALLY ABUSED DURING THOSE
FOUR YEARS.
AND WE ALSO WANT TO RAISE
AWARENESS AMONG THE COLLEGE
STUDENTS, AND GIVE THEM A
WAY TO TANGIBLELY MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND BE PART OF
THE SOLUTION.
THAT, I BELIEVE, WILL
REALLY, TRULY BEGIN TO
CHANGE OUR CULTURE.
Terry: WHAT YOU'VE PUT
IN THE BOXES IS SO SYMBOLIC,
SIGNIFICANT, AND NEEDED.
TALK ABOUT WHAT A PERSON
RECEIVES WHEN THEY RECEIVE
THIS.
WE WANT IT TO BE LIKE A
GIFT.
IT HAS SWEAT PANTS AND A
T-SHIRT.
IT HAS UNDERWEAR, AND THIS
WONDERFUL LITTLE FREEDOM
BEAR, AND THIS BOOK THAT
TELLS THE STORY OF ONE MY
UNIVERSITY GIRLS WHO WAS
RAPED AT 7 YEARS OLD AT A
PICNIC TABLE.
AND THE LITTLE BEAR WAS
THROWN AGAINST THE TABLE AND
HIS HEART WAS TORN, AND SHE
COULDN'T HEAL IT.
BUT THE LITTLE BEAR USED
THAT TO HEAL HER.
IT HAS NOTES ON THE BACK OF
HIS BACKPACK.
SOMEONE THAT WAS ABUSED
WOULD WRITE, "I WAS DATE
RAPED" AND A CHILD MAY EVEN
DRAW A STICK FIGURE.
THEY WOULD PUT IT IN THE
HEART OF THE BEAR.
INSIDE THE HEART OF THE BEAR
IT WOULD STAY FOR A WHILE,
UNTIL THEY GOT A LITTLE
STRONGER.
AND THEN THEY WOULD TAKE
THAT OUT AND DROP IT INTO
WATER.
AT FIRST THE WORDS
DISAPPEAR, AND THEN THE
ENTIRE PAPER DISAPPEARS.
IT IS A LITTLE SYMBOL THEY
DON'T HAVE TO STAY A
VICTIM.
Terry: SO IT IS PART OF
THE PROCESS TO HEALING.
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS KIND OF
AN AWKWARD SITUATION, WHEN
YOU AND I FIRST TALKED AND
YOU SHOWED ME THIS BOX, I
THOUGHT, WHY WOULD YOU PUT
UNDERWEAR IN A BOX.
BUT YOU SHARED WITH ME
SOMETHING THAT WAS PRETTY
STARTLING.
WE DON'T REALIZE THAT
MOST OF THE HOSPITALS IN THE
COUNTRY, WHEN PEOPLE COME
FOR THE DATE-RAPE, THEY
DON'T KNOW THAT ALL THEIR
CLOTHES ARE HELD WITH
EVIDENCE.
OFTENTIMES THEY LEAVE IN
PAPER SCRUBS.
IT ADDS TO THE SHAME AND
GUILT.
IT BROKE MY HEART, HAVING
BEEN A VICTIM MYSELF.
THE TOILETRIES ARE NOT
ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL IN
THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
THE TOILETRIES GIVE THEM A
CHANCE TO TAKE A SHOWER.
YOU WANT A SHOWER SO MUCH.
THE TOOTHBRUSH AND
TOOTHPASTE ALLOW THEM TO
BRUSH THEIR TEETH.
SOME OF THESE WOMEN ARE
GOING DIRECTLY TO A
SHELTER.
THIS ALSO GOES TO WOMEN OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN
ABUSED.
WE WANT IT TO GO TO ANYONE
WHO COMES TO THAT HOSPITAL
NEEDING THE COMFORT AND
HOPING AND BELIEVING THAT
THE STORY HERE OF MOLLY WILL
HELP THEM SEE THAT THEY CAN
HAVE A FUTURE, TOO, AND NOT
BE STUCK AS A VICTIM.
Terry: THERE CAN BE A
FRESH START, A NEW
BEGINNING.
AND THAT THEY'RE HUMAN.
YES.
AND FOR THE CHILDREN, THE
BEAR GEAR, THIS IS A LITTLE
BOOK BAG, AND THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE FOR THEM IS IT
ALSO HAS TOYS AND STICKER
BOOKS.
THE EXAM IS OFTENTIMES TWO
HOURS LONG, AND FOR A CHILD
THAT IS DIFFICULT.
WE'RE IN THREE HOSPITALS IN
RIVERSIDE, CHILDREN'S
HOSPITALS, AND M.C. D. IN
RICHMOND, AND ONE OF THE
WOMEN TOLD US ABOUT A VERY
SMALL CHILD THAT GOT THE
BOOK BAG AND WAS SO THRILLED
AND HELD ON TO THE LITTLE
CLOTHES AND JUST CLUTCHED
THE LITTLE BEAR AS THEY WERE
GOING THROUGH THIS EXAM.
AS SHE WALKED OUT, SHE HAD
THE BOOK BAG AND ALL THE
NURSE COULD SEE WAS THE
BEAR, SHE WAS SO TINY.
WE HOPE IT WILL BRING THEM
THAT REDEEMED JOY.
Terry: YOU'RE DOING A
MARVELOUS THING FOR PEOPLE
WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN VERY
DEVASTATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE
INFORMATION ON ROSE MAYOR
ROSEMARY'S "FEAR 2 FREEDOM,"
PROGRAM, LOG ON TO
CBN.COM.
MAYBE SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN
VICTIMS AND YOU'RE FIGHTING
YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM.
CALL AND LET SOMEONE PRAY
WITH YOU ABOUT THAT.
OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.
IT'S 1-800-759-0700.
THERE IS A FRIEND ON THE
OTHER END OF THAT LINE.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO GIVE
THEM YOUR NAME.
JUST CALL AND SAY I NEED
PRAYER.
UP NEXT, WE'RE GOING BE TO
TAKING YOUR QUESTIONS FROM
OUR IN-BOX.
SO STAY WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
.
Terry: WELL, IN THE
TIME WE HAVE LEFT, WE WOULD
LIKE TO ANSWER A FEW OF YOUR
E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
PAT, DONNA SAYS, "IS IT A
SIN FOR CHRISTIANS TO READ
CRIME NOVELS AND SUCH?
ARE WE ONLY TO READ ABOUT
JESUS AND THE BIBLE, ETC.?"
Pat: I HAD ONE SWEET
LADY WHO WROTE ROMANCE
BOOKS, AND HER EDITOR SAID
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SEX SCENE
EVERY 100 LINES OR 100 WORDS
OR SOMETHING --
Terry: REALLY?
Pat: IT WAS
UNBELIEVABLE.
SO THEY PUT ALL OF THIS
STUFF IN THERE.
YOU ARE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO
THE MIND OF SOMEBODY WHO
DOESN'T KNOW JESUS.
AND LIKE IT OR NOT, THAT
STUFF WILL PERMEATE.
IT CAN BE DETECTIVE STORIES,
AND IT CAN BE SOME OF THESE
OTHERS.
INVARIABLY, THERE IS A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
PROFANITY.
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
PROFANITY.
EVERY FOUR-LETTER WORD YOU
EVER HEARD, EVERY SEXUAL
PERVERSION YOU HAVE NEVER
CONCEIVED OF OR HEARD
ABOUT.
IT IS ALL IN THOSE BOOKS.
AND YES THEY HAVE A PLOT,
AND SOME DETECTIVE KILLS
SOMEBODY AND HE GOES BEFORE
THE JUDGE, ETC.
THAT'S WHAT IS OUT THERE.
AND IT'S REALLY HARD.
BUT SOME DO A GREAT JOB.
FOR EXAMPLE, GRISHOM IS A
CHRISTIAN AND HE WRITES SOME
TREMENDOUS STORIES.
Terry: AND CHRISTIAN
BOOKSTORES HAVE WONDERFUL
BOOKS.
Pat: I THINK THE
CHRISTIAN PUBLISHERS GO A
LITTLE OVERBOARD.
THEY WON'T LET YOU PUT IN A
"DAM" OR A "HELL."
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN
AUTHOR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SOME REALISM IN THERE.
THEY WON'T LET YOU DO IT.
Terry: THIS IS SASH SHA
WHO SAYS, "THERE THE SOULS
IN HELL BE ABLE TO SEE THE
SOULS IN HEAVEN, AND WILL
THEY RECOGNIZE THEM?"
Pat: I DON'T THINK SO.
ALL WE HAVE IS THE RICH MAN
WAS IN HELL.
AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES
AND HE SAW ABRAHAM, AND HE
SAW THE BEGGER IN ABRAHAM'S
BOSOM.
SO APPARENTLY THERE WAS SOME
RECOGNITION, ACCORDING TO
THAT STORY THAT JESUS GAVE.
HOW MUCH INTERPLAY THERE IS,
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I DON'T THINK DEAD
PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK
DOWN ON EARTH AND WATCH WHAT
WE DO.
Terry: THIS IS JAMES
WHO SAYS, "ON "700 CLUB
INTERACTIVE," GORDON SAYS WE
WILL HEAR GOD'S VOICE.
HOW DO WE HEAR GOD'S VOICE.
I'VE PRAYED FOR MY SPIRITUAL
EARS TO BE OPENED, BUT I
HAVE NEVER HEARD GOD'S
VOICE.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO HEAR
HIM?"
Pat: YOU'VE GOT TO
SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD.
HOW DO YOU HEAR GOD'S
VOICE?
ONE OF THE WAYS YOU HEAR IT
IS BY READING THE BIBLE.
IT ISN'T ALWAYS AN INNER
SPEAKING.
HE CAN SPEAK, OBVIOUSLY, TO
YOU IN YOUR INNER MAN.
BUT HE CAN ALSO SPEAK
THROUGH THE WORD AND THROUGH
THE ADVICE OF GODLY PEOPLE.
HE'S GOT A NUMBER OF WAYS OF
COMMUNICATING WITH US.
THE BIG THING IS YOUR HEART
IS OPEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO
SAY.
Terry: SOMETIMES, DO
YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL
MISCONCEIVE AND THINK
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING AUDIBLE?
Pat: JEREMIAH SAID GOD
CAME TO ME IN THE MAN OF
VOICE, SO HE HEARD GOD'S
VOICE.
GOD HAS A WAY.
HE'LL COMMUNICATE WITH YOU.
THAT'S THE BIG THING, IF
YOU'RE OPEN TO HIM.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE
FOR THIS PROGRAM.
TOMORROW, WE'LL TALK WITH
FORMER GOVERNOR MIKE
HUCKABEE.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM PSALM 107:
"OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD
FOR HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS
MERCY ENDURES FOREVER."
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE
HAVE GOT.
REMEMBER OUR TELEPHONE IS
AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY,
AND OUR THANKS TO WENDY AND
TERRY AND ALL OF US.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
