Did I hear correctly? Did Melani say she was happy that Al (now dead) was going to be with Breezy and Braxton?????? Those are two of her children (also declared dark)?????? Also, wanting Brandon to always be afraid of Al? Melani is just as twisted and culpable as Chad and Lori. She needs to be charged and tried too, imho.

[@melaniemarrone9521]

Yup, she said it. Its not enough to charge her. I doubt they would get a conviction. But now the world knows that she knew her ex was being targeted for desth and she was obviously ok w/her children being eliminated.

Listening to those tapes felt similar to the interviews of Charles Manson's followers calling the cops pigs. Ian was mostly truthful but clearly was protecting his wife. There's no way in hell that Melani didn’t realize by the time those tapes were recorded that Alex, Lori and Chad had conspired to murder the kids. She knew that Alex had attempted to murder Brandon and yet all she cared about was how to avoid the detective investigating the attempt on the father of 4 of her kids. Mel is evil and twisted. How AZ didn’t find enough to indict her is bewildering.

You are correct. It says nothing of zombies or of killing your children. That anyone believed this man floors me.

[@kellypantin7423]

You know I wake up every single morning between 3 and 4 am and I have my alone time with Jesus. I read scriptures every day and I do this so I will never forget not only what Jesus did for us by dying on a cross so we could have forgiveness but also so I can make sure I don't forget how I should act and also to know the difference between good and evil. I'm a sinner and I know thru my 54 years of living that I have done wrong and went against God's word so many times. I didn't used to read my Bible every day telling myself I was too busy or I knew the scriptures or because I went to church that I was good and didn't need to do anymore than that. About 9 years ago during church service my pastor began talking about hey going to church isn't enough. He said that we really should read daily from the Bible even if it's only 5 minutes because then we are really building our relationship with Jesus and learning HIS words and it helps us to not fall for any evil or helps us to not live of the world or of the flesh. And even as my pastor was saying this my initial thoughts were I don't have the time to read daily. But then my pastor said something that hit me hard and made me realize how wrong I was in thinking I don't have the time. He asked the congregation " How much time do all of you spend on social media every day?" It got real quiet because I am certain every one was thinking as I was about how often I am on social media daily and that I can spend hours on social media. Then my pastor said, " If you have time to be on social media then you have time to read your Bible everyday!!!" That changed everything for me and since then I make sure I do spend time reading God's word and it was the best decision I ever made. My pastor was correct when he told us if we just give it a chance it will change our lives and perspective but also that it would help ensure that we know exactly when a false prophet is before us and we will be able to know whether they are good or evil. This whole case is so mind blowing to me because of all of the EVIL that happened and how they did it claiming they were doing the Lord's work and making themselves appear to be serving at the right hand of God and they were helping Jesus with end times and it's mind blowing the people that not only believed them but saw nothing wrong with what was going on and were following them and worshipping them and all of these same followers were not people who didn't know about Christ or were new to Christianity.....these were all people who claim to be God fearing Christians that were active in their church. How can you say that you are a Christian and you go to church and yet you thought what Chad and Lori were doing was Ok with the Lord? Chad and Lori broke some of the major commandments that most people know whether they go to church or not. Thou shall not kill, or lie, or commit adultery, etc. These things are not only Gods law but mans law as well. Murder, cheating, lying....I mean how did any of these followers who never stepped up and said a word and could have saved human lives genuinely believe that all of that was ok? It's unreal how much damage and destruction these two people did and how many lives they destroyed and murdered especially children...and not one of them came forward sooner. Chad lived in fantasy land and he actually found people foolish enough to believe his fantasy and go along with it. I feel like there should have been quite a few more people charged with crimes in this case. My hurt just hurts so much for everyone who was hurt or lost loved ones because of these two humans who are clearly nothing but straight up EVIL. Even this morning as I'm reading I still kept thinking that no where in my Bible have I ever read anything about the sins we are not to commit...oh except for Lori and Chad. I'm 100 percent certain that their Bibles didn't have anything in them saying that nobody else can commit sins but Chad and Lori. Christians, no matter what religion, are supposed to lead others to Christ. Not hell. I'm not saying everyone read your Bibles everyday.... everyone's relationship with Christ is between them and the Lord....but for the love of Jesus if someone comes to you trying to convince you that they are working directly for Jesus yet they are killing innocent children and their spouses while they are lying and cheating constantly....before you believe them and believe that it's ok for them to do horrible things please please either read in your Bible or reach out to someone who might be knowledgeable with God's word and find out for sure whether they are leading you astray. Don't just believe them. I don't think there has ever been a Bible I have read or a church sermon I have ever heard where zombie is mentioned. It might just save your life or save another person's life and it will definitely save your salvation as well. The only comfort I can find in this whole ordeal is that Charles, Tammy, and those precious babies Tylee, and JJ are in the loving arms of Jesus Christ and they will never have to be around Chad or Lori or any other evil EVER AGAIN.

Absolutely. Melanie Gibb is 100% complicit in this. She could have saved FOUR lives! Instead, she enjoyed every minute of her front row seat to murder of innocent people! Melanie Gibb is as evil as they come..... She makes me sick.

It's odd that Melanie Powlowski on the recordings she said, he's not going to stop until he gets what he wants, but she never asks where are the kids, that if they told the police where the kids where then all this wouod stop, I feel she knew more than she said she did, I know if that was me I would have said, where are the kids and wouldn't have stopped until I got an answer, , why have the police not charged her with something, I don't know does anybody.

Wow! Chad's prophet powers weren't working well on the day that he gave that blessing. Melanie's husband had been speaking to law enforcement and doing recordings for them since right after he married her and there Chad is blessing them as a couple and saying that they've known each other in other lives and are going to bring lots people to safety and all that. Also,his prophet powers missed that his incredibly long blessing was being recorded.😂
