Missing & Exiting Legionaries and Regnum Christi

Todd Carpunky

TBT (way back): from when I was 19 (or 20). I left a few years later with no recognised educational credits and no money. I took my SATs for the first time when I was 22 (1997), took my LSAT in 1998 and started law school in 1999. I spent my first year of college sleeping on the floor of a rundown apartment with my clothes in cardboard boxes. Less than 20 years ago and it seems like another life because it was. Sometimes it is good to look back and realise how far you've come. I'm grateful for where I've been, how far I've come and where I am now. ‪#‎nocomplaintsat40‬

Hannah Davis-Bennett Go you! And yes, so good to remember where we have come from, stay grounded while enjoying our successes and life... And being generous - you never know who may be living out of a cardboard box and could do with encouragement or a tenner for a hot meal or whatever. Very cool Todd!

Keith Keller Another "co-founder" who was with me in the LC says that to do over again he would still join! We should schedule him for psychological evaluation. What do you think?

Andreas R. Davison I remembered you from our time in Salamanca. Your work ethics and constancy made you who you are. I only hope, that everyone who left the LCs are as lucky as you are. Keep flying!

Keith Keller Did they tell you about those who left. Some they said, committed suicide and in the end, none were successful in life because they "hadn't been generous enough with God"?

Todd Carpunky Keith, we weren't allowed to speak about those who left when I was in. I wasn't the most aware person at the time, and I'd suddenly notice that X was no longer around. When I asked, the priest would tell me that X had gone insane and left a month or so...See More

John Borobia And even though the LC consumed my thoughts for quite some time after leaving, even in my dreams, it isn't until moments like this that I even remember anymore. I see you, Glenn, Paul, Victor, and many more now as real life friends. I know we were brought together because of the (insert expletive here) LC, but that no longer has the power it did. We have moved on and become better for it.

Keith Keller We weren't told about anyone in particular who may have left (they were usually on a secret assignment from "our father", Nuestro Padre. Every once in a while there was mention of the first Italian who left and begged to return because he was suicidal! LOL. Glad you guys have all got beyond the Legion of Lies!

Todd Carpunky The only people on "special missions for Nuestro Padre" were priests who had actually left.
