3815. No interest was taken by
the authorities in Clara’s group because it was so small, and their ideas so
extreme that it was all taken as a kind of joke by everyone who heard about it.
For Clara however there was no part of her mind or her thinking that was not occupied
by the groups ideas and assumptions.
3816. I can’t say for certain if
Clara’s really believed all of the ideas she so fervently espoused at those
Bible study meetings. If you want my opinion I will tell you, but I ask the reader
not to judge me too harshly, and keep in mind that what I am going to say is
just my opinion, and I will be the first to say I could be completely wrong.
3817. Having said that as an
introduction, I will now say that Clara did not believe a word of what was said
in the Bible study group, and latched on to it in desperation because she needed
some way out of here terrible predicament of being a nursemaid to her eternally dying
husband.
3818. Clara was a simple and
honest woman, but even though she was honest with herself and with others, she
could never have brought herself to say that she wished her husband would just
die and get it over with.
