0:19.5	I was on the call when this conversation was happening. The voice of
0:22.9	the man named Timothy on this call is a real human being alive right now on earth today,
0:29.9	loved by God, rescued by God, who has suffered at the hands of evil, unthinkable evil. But for Timothy, they are real stories
0:43.4	with scars that he still suffers from, that he still lives in fear of it happening again.
