I apologize for causing any confusion. I have never met Mr. John Modler. He contacted my husband who had a few conversations with him and he has sent us several emails. We have only published a couple that were copied to us and several others. What was clear to us from the beginning is that he was in communication with Mr. Tetherow to whom he expressed devotion and he believed everything that Mr. Tetherow was saying to him. The information he passes on about Mr. Tetherow is information he has received from Mr. Tetherow himself and this is evident because he knows things he could only learn from Mr. Tetherow (and he mentions in the emails he has been in his Third Order from the beginning). It was also evident to my husband that Modler is suffering from intellectual, psychological, and perhaps moral problems that are serious.
One of the first communications we received from Mr. Modler was that 'he understood and was pleased to know from Mr. Tetherow and we were now all very good friends and were working with him (Mr.T) to establish a school'. We also learned from Mr. Modler, what we also knew from others, that Mr. Tetherow was continuing to pass on my husband's defense of him 5 years after it had been retracted. All this had to be corrected in the public forum.
The reason for posting these emails was not for the purpose of giving any credibility to what Mr. Modler said, which is clearly mindless, but as my husband explained to me, others should see an example of how a psychopath is willing to unconscionably abuse another person. Mr. Tetherow has done this very same thing to other people with serious psychological problems. These are people who really need help but Mr. Tetherow uses them to spread rumors and disinformation. Then, when he wants to cover himself, he gets them to pass on information that is obviously absurd. Should anyone then confront him, he will blame the poor fool whom “he was only trying to help”.
Mr. Tetherow is just using Mr. Modler, for his own ends.
