Barbara Declines Peter Mook's Offer of A Room.
After Mörschel's fall from grace, Peter Mook became the First Elder, assuming responsibility for all the congregations. Barabara continued to journey to various congregations, sometimes accompanied by Peter Mook and sometimes by other Brethren, including Christian Metz. Peter Mook offered her a room in his house, where she could stay when she was not on a journey. She accepted gratefully. She soon found, however, that the offer was for his own benefit. This brought her into temptation, so that later, after she had returned from yet another journey, she rented a room in Bischweiler.
Before long Peter Mook came to Bischweiler and told her that it was God's will that she return to him. He promised that everything would be better. She returned with him; but she found that everything was the same.

“Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody’s image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.”
