It seems a great encouragement to Linda Shelton when she receives unsolicited letters like this:

Linda,
I am very happy to be able to write to you. I am still very upset about the the way Danny treated you, based upon what I have heard and read, I think he is nothing more that an adulterer.
It seems to me that he had his eyes on this other woman, maybe even having an affair. I think he was just looking for an excuse to get rid of you so he can be with her.
Let it be known that I HAVE LOST RESPECT FOR HIM, AND WHEN HE IS ON TV I TUNE OUT. I JUST CAN'T LOOK AT HIM ANY MORE..
And for the others who don't have any backbone I have also lost respect for them too.
I am praying for God to render justice, and for me to forgie them..
Keep on spreading the gospel God knows the truth so all is well.
God bless you, my sister.
your sister in Christ

That is a great letter! Dittos of all of her points! I even think that Linda should write a book of her experience, from her earlier days to this day, and leave nothing out. When the book can be full of witnesses vindicating Linda, such as you, Johann can do to be quoted in a book like that, more people will come to the same conclusion as what that sister did from Jamaica.

This is but one of many letters Linda receives in response to her home page:
<lindashelton.org>
-
FaceBook reveals that it is Linda's birthday today. And it also reveals that she can be reached at this address:
upbound@msn.com
-
Thanks for the reminder, Johann!
I wished her happy birthday.
-
Thanks for the reminder, Johann!
I wished her happy birthday.
As did I. Although, I'm not sure how often she checks it. lol
-
It is interesting to see how many have viewed this topic today. I do not think Linda checks FaceBook very often, but she probably reads her e-mail.
-
Rest assured that, while I am sure Linda appreciates "encouragement", I have come to uncompromisingly believe that Linda has at all times pertinent hereto leaned heavily upon her Lord and Saviour and is thus sustained...a lesson we could all learn well.
Much to my CHAGRIN, Linda has, for the most part, repeatedly avoided conflict, most specifically adversarial conflicts in the many opportunities that those fools at 3ABN and the it's directors repeatedly opened the window to. They are fortunate she is not "litigious" as they would be tied up for years with their own self-imposed tort liabilities.
I am convinced that Linda will find her post 3ABN "calling" SOON and I look forward to the inevitable tour.
It is inevitable that the Lord's justice will require that Danny must decrease that Linda increase...she truly represents the REAL ministry to counteract the counterfeit...just unfortunate that 3ABN has become the counterfeit!!!

Last night a frequent contributor to AdventTalk told me some of the things that have been posted in what some have called the "smut site" - a place I have not looked at for a long time. There I found the following post which I copied and sent to a person who has never checked in on that site. Here is that post:
Re: horsethief
Postby Truth » Sat Oct 09, 2010 4:24 pm UTC
horsethief ************** seems to insinuate and suggest as much as she can against 3ABN and some who work there (on AdventTalk).
This is for **************** and all the others who salivate at the idea of bringing 3ABN down:
You cannot hurt 3ABN. Attorney Manly cannot hurt 3ABN. Alex Walker and Dennis Turley cannot hurt 3ABN. Pickle and Joy cannot hurt 3ABN. AdventTalk cannot hurt 3ABN. Linda Shelton cannot hurt 3ABN.
No one can hurt 3ABN except by God's permission. And you don't have it.
3ABN is God's appointed work. In trying to bring down 3ABN, you are working against God. Attorney Manly will not succeed nor will his clients.
Your "civil suits" will not be a success either. Your time and effort will be utterly wasted.
Here is her response:
Hello "truth." It seems best to go to the source for the REAL TRUTH. I do not wish any harm to 3ABN, after all, I am a co-founder of this ministry. Perhaps new leadership would bring a revived prosperity to 3ABN. In fact, I believe I qualify for the position of President and CEO of 3ABN. Why not take a vote??
Linda Shelton
Keep it up, Cindy and Co! There is a challenge in what is posted there, and I believe there will be a lot more responses in the future. In a few days there will be a new website at
www.lindashelton.org

Maybe someone should start up a website where people can come and vote. Could have pictures and names of various contenders for 3ABN president and CEO.
If it were just between Danny and Linda, who would get the most votes?
If it were just between Danny and Linda, who would pocket the most money?
If it were just between Danny and Linda, who would hire the most pedophiles?
If it were just between Danny and Linda, who would sue the most people?

Many know that 3ABN celebrated recently the 10th anniversary of the its Spanish programs. 3ABN "celebrated" without the participation of the two people who started the Spanish programs, Sandra Juarez and Linda Shelton. Both of them have been wiped out of the history books of 3ABN.
The North Amercian Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated the same event at the It Is Written quarters in Simi Valley in California - and they invited Linda Shelton to join Sandra in their celebtation. I believe Linda will post some pictures and tell you more about this event at
www.lindashelton.org
The new edition will be available for viewing in a few days.

There is an old saying that I believe fits here......"God don't like ugly[ways], and He aint' crazy 'bout pretty".
-
Someone just said that only God could bring down 3ABN. I think He will, and soon. Since Linda has been gone, the programming has gone down, too. There are things on there now that she would never have permitted to see the light of day. Is everyone forgetting that the head of programming is a Pentacostal? So is the vice president. And, how about the music center? They don't even claim to be SDAs. I believe that the only way 3ABN can survive is for Linda to take over and replace the entire staff and board. For us, that is the only way we will ever go back to supporting them.
There. that is off my chest.

I'm sorry but Linda was not without fault either as none of us are. The more things like this are posted the more the so called smut site and others will claim that legal justice for the abuse victims, defending one's self in a lawsuit and bringing financial and moral corruption to light is all payback for what was done to Linda and that she is pulling the strings behind the scene. She isn't. But they use this to claim that she is. Linda isn't essential to 3ABN. Others could do that work. You are right in that God might bring down 3ABN and then again He may not.
I don't know why He has allowed it to go on so long. There is something in Psalms about the wicked prospering though.

Words from an old warrior on behalf of 3ABN! God knows you were sincere in what you were doing.

I'd like to see Linda put up a Facebook page with, perhaps, links to her music videos, etc. She could put up inspirational words, videos, etc. :)
Blessings,

How about at this link?

She is on Facebook and has been for ages. May God richly bless her every move. She is on the move. She was interviewed and was begged by the audience to come back again!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, you go girl! I have been a bit under the weather, otherwise I would be here reading every day to catch up. Keep praying your copy of promises you shared with me last; I still do. Love to you in Christ!
I love you

Some of this information was given to me from another source than Linda herself. Please check for pictures and information by Linda herself at her renewed website. :dogwag:

Indeed, Linda is on the move.
She is an adult woman with the right to live where she choses and in my opinion, the Biblical, moral and ethical right to have a relationship with whoomever she choses.
I wish her well with her life and her writing if that is the direction she goes.
-
I was just on Linda's updated website. It is encouraging to know that she is waiting on the Lord for guidance in her life. Hopefully her tormentors can't reach across the ocean to harass her. Those on the "other" site need to read her letter on her website to get their "facts" straight, and not imtimidate that Danny was correct in his accusations so that he could get a divorce. Evil surmising has no boundaries.:(

Linda and Arild
Postby Nikolas » Sat Dec 04, 2010 6:50 am UTC
Quoted from a friend of Linda Shelton.
"I saw Linda and Arild holding hands at an airport while walking. When I called out to Linda she just ignored me at first but I called out again and was rushing to get to Linda so they dropped their hands, Linda stopped to talk to me but Arild went on walking away trying to act like they weren't together. I knew they were trying to hide something. This happened right around the time of the divorce."
Would you believe it - I checked on that other site and found this! Interesting to see this in quotation marks as if told by the observer! There are a number of faults in this description.
1. It was more than one friend and it should have said "friends".
2. Linda and Arild were not holding hands.
3. This did not happen right around the divorce but about 18 months ago - some years after the divorce.
So much for accuracy for those who care.

Re: Linda Shelton Today
Postby Nikolas » Wed Dec 15, 2010 3:04 am UTC
1. Fact: A Private Investigator took pictures of Linda and Arild holding hands before the divorce.
2. Fact: Linda and Arild ditched Johann and went to a motel together until 2 a.m. before the divorce.
3. Multiple 3ABN employees said: Linda made fun of how stupid Johann was to several people at 3ABN before she was fired.
4. Multiple 3ABN employees said: When Kris Fiscalini lived in Thompsonville, Linda told many people that she couldn't stand "sister" and laughed at how Kris thought she was a writer.
5. All of the above is documented.

I charge this Nicolas to prove point one and two by showing his documentation - pictures and name of the motel.
-
If such pictures really existed, or really proved what they say they prove, they would have produced them as required in their lawsuit against us.
By refusing to produce such evidence, they set themselves up for having that so-called, alleged evidence to be excluded at trial.
-
A lot of that lawsuit confuses me, I thought it was about copy-write infringement. Not sure how everything else got involved.
It would be wrong for the board to release those photos to the public. I do not think it is any secret that they did hire a PI to follow her and take those. I believe the PI is a matter of public info and has been discussed openly on some forums. Other wise I would not know about it.
-
At one time Linda and Arild shook hands as they parted and the picture taken by the PI was interpreted to the board as them walking hand in hand.
All three of us came out of Alyssa's apartment at about two in the morning because we had struggled with computer problems to get Linda's letter to the Board e-mailed before morning when the Board was going to discuss Linda's status. The PI got a picture of Linda and Arild but saw to it that I was not included in the picture. And that got all twisted too in the report to the board.
What do you mean, Stan, that only the board is allowed to see those pictures when we maintain they are all a false rendering of what really happened?
-
I thought those pictures were being saved for court. You mean they ain't showed them pictures yet? Does Nikolas know that they have been talking about them pictures and phone records for 7 years, and haven't produced a thing. He needs to give up on that one.
-
A lot of that lawsuit confuses me, I thought it was about copy-write infringement. Not sure how everything else got involved.
They alleged within the complaint that we had posted a copyrighted video on Save3ABN.com, but didn't include copyright infringement as a count against us. IN other words, while they accused us of copyright infringement, they didn't sue us over that.
And it was all a lie anyway that we had infringed copyright, since they had advertised and argued in court that none of their programming was copyrighted.
It would be wrong for the board to release those photos to the public.
It would be wrong for the board to not release them to the public, after suing us over the matter.
They sued us over whether Linda had committed adultery. Since they did that, they were required to release those photos, if they really exist. Those photos would then have become public record, since they would have been used either against or for us, depending on whether they really were evidence or not.
One court case called conduct like what 3ABN and Danny did, in suing us and then refusing to participate in discovery, "undue vexatiousness." It's wrong. If they weren't going to produce those documents, they never should have sued us.
But this is nothing new. They sued over their property tax exemption denial, and then never produced their 990's when requested. Then they tried to slip them in later because they could help prove a point, but Administrative Law Judge Barbara Rowe wouldn't let them do that since they had not produced them to the other side when requested.
I do not think it is any secret that they did hire a PI to follow her and take those. I believe the PI is a matter of public info and has been discussed openly on some forums. Other wise I would not know about it.
3 PI's in 3 separate cars, is what Danny claimed were hired, in his ugly, unchristian little email.
-
Well, from another thread here, it seems that the shoe is on the other foot as they are now facing a lawsuit.

I am bemused by this comment...there must be one person who has God's permission: Danny Lee Shelton!!!
This miscreant is exceptional at setting up 3ABN and it's staff for hard falls...if you think of all the issues there is a COMMON THREAD,,,DANNY LEE SHELTON...I believe they have pointed out DLS is the Lightning rod...I would propose that DANNY LEE SHELTON IS THE LIGHTENING!!!! It is his decisions that have consistently gotten the ministry into one media disaster after another and whose life is a virtual hypocrisy to his own declarations...he is the one who breaks mended fences at every turn.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, DANNY LEE SHELTON...you will do what apparently no-one else has permission to do...that assumes God really is in charge and not DLS...the anointed one!!!

3. FACT: Linda and Arild stayed at Alyssa's apartment (while Alyssa was out of town) nearly all night, until almost daylight. Documented
4. FACT: The night Linda and Arild stayed at Alyssa's apartment alone is when Arild presented Linda with her new two-faced watch. Documented

Nothing brings 3ABN down as quickly as posts like the one above. You ar right, Cindy, there is no documentation, except for the first one.
I know that points number 2, 3, and 4 are all false, and it is falsehood like that which hurt Danny Shelton the most.
2. Yes, there was a motel where Arild and I stayed, but never Linda. She was in there for a while once in the daytime, and we were there all three of us all that time. So what else can be documented?
3. Yes, Linda stayed in Alyssa's apartment, and both Arild and I went there to help her write and send the letter for the Board which had to be delivered by morning. We sent it to Claus Nybo by e-mail and he promised he would bring a copy of if for each board member. I do not know if all of them saw it, or if Danny and/or Walt only kept it for themselves. It took us until around two in the morning because something went wrong with Linda's laptop. Iit is not my fault that those Private Investigators did not include me in the pictures they took, but Danny would probably not have accepted any pictures with me on. Is Nikolas able to document if Linda's letter was read to the board members? Were they at least able to get that much of her side of the story before she was thrown out? Or were they all presented with just as false documents as you now present to those who follow you blindly?
4. That cheap watch we bought on the airplane was not presented to Linda at the apartment. That happened elsewhere and not at the apartment, and both Arild and I were there at the time. Linda and Arild were never alone in that apartment without me being present also, regardless of your claims of them being there alone. So whatever documentation you claim to have is false. I know because I was there. I will admit that a clever Private Investigator would have lots of possibilities of getting pictures of Arild and Linda without me being seen. We never posed for their pictures. But how does that document that I was not there too?
If your site wants to claim being trustworthy then you should demand better documentation than what is being posted there.

Well, I was going to allow Johann very well writted post stand alone for a bit so the other side can marinate on the truth of it.
However, with his blessing, I am going to post now because apparently I have joined the ranks of "those who are banned from internet forums". LOL :ROFL: :ROFL: I'm sorry, becuase I think my feelings are supposed to be hurt. NOT!
I was banned for making allegations without support(paraphrased). Now believe me, I do't' want the ban lifted, that is not an issue for me. The problem as I see it is that you all banned me for posting allegations without support when for 7 years now you all have taken Danny's word for PI reports/photos, phone records, etc. as to Linda's guilt........to this day(and to my knowledge) none of you(or anyone) has seen any of this. They did not materialize in court as promised....yet you believe Danny. Now you have Nickolas, coming with a report.......seven years later...of Linda and the Dr. holding hands in the airport.....7 years ago......without one bit of support but his word. Who is Nickolas and where was he 7 years ago? I am sure this is the kind of information that would have been helpful in Danny's case against Linda. Johann is an eyewitness to many of the incidents of which you speak, yet you don't believe him. Excuse me, he was not just an eye witness, but much of this was his own experience.
This marriage failed and you all want it to be all Linda's fault because Danny said so. Well those of you who have been divorce(which apparently there are many)know that it is more likely when a marriage failed that there is fault on both sides, not just one.

February, 2007
My warmest greetings,
A couple approached me with tears in their eyes and said, "We have just missed you and we wanted to see you to make sure you were okay." As I saw the pain in their eyes over the events that have transpired in my life in the last few years, it was as if my heart was pierced again. "We are just so happy to see you smiling, in church and still serving God." Our meeting took place a few months ago at the Bible Chapel Seventh-day Adventist Church where I am a member. I enjoyed my visit with this caring, Christian couple, along with the compassion and love they showed toward me.
Some people act surprised that I am still a member of the SDA church. But why? God is still the same awesome God that He always has been, the incredible Bible truths embraced by Seventh-day Adventists are still just as true today as they ever were, and although a "thousand shall fall on my right and a thousand fall on my left," nothing will ever change these facts. We must hold firm to our faith during troubled times!
Many have written to me over the past many months asking me to update my website. This I have prayerfully considered for quite some time, nearly a year. Quite frankly, I just have not known what to say. I feel that this scandal has made a large, festering, open wound in my Church. Perhaps the truth revealed will ultimately bring the healing that everyone needs. Then we can grieve together and move on. I am certain, in essence, I have died a thousand deaths over the events of the last couple of years. But, with the Lord's blessing, I will try to address issues which have been brought to my attention in the kindest manner possible.
For the first time in nearly three years I will not simply deny the accusations, but will directly address certain issues. I do not take pleasure in speaking of these things. I think I have always been the one who would rather receive hurt, than be the one to inflict hurt upon others. But during the course of this last year I learned some valuable lessons through Dr. Mable Dunbar of Polly's Place Network; she has been an incredible support and help to me. Mable is a woman who truly loves the Lord and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right, even if a whole army would stand against her.
Polly's Place Network is a ministry which empowers abused lives and aids them through their difficult circumstances. It is a marvelous organization and so needed for this age when Satan has focused his wrath upon breaking up the security and circle of love God intended for our families. I videotaped some interviews for Polly's Place at the SDA Conference office in Spokane, Washington with several individuals who had been through incredibly painful situations. Each of them, in essence, had the same healing story. It was when they were able to come forward and express the truth about what happened to them that their healing came. Inspired by these individuals, now I can accept and believe it is God's job to protect the ministry I have loved and co-founded, and it is my right and my healing to tell the truth about what has occurred.
I am co-authoring a book and its purpose is to share the silver lining of the amazing lessons the Lord has taught me through this crisis. I feel the Lord has lifted a veil and allowed me to see the world that He sees, a world far different than we see. I see that the darts of false allegations that Satan has thrown toward me and my ministry were not directed solely for my downfall, but the aim was much wider. Although I was the apparent target, Satan was attempting to destroy the ministry I loved and co-founded and cripple the witness of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. My perspective has been forever changed through my experiences and my book will give me the opportunity to share these lessons more fully with all of you. (I will keep you posted as to the release date of this book.)
John Knox once said, "Kings [or leaders] have not an absolute power to do in their government what pleases them, but their power is limited by God's Word; so that if they strike where God has not commanded, they are but murderers; and if they spare where God has commanded to strike, they and their thrones are criminal and guilty of the wickedness which abounds upon the face of the earth, for lack of punishment." John knew his Bible. It is a Biblical principle that if we see a wrong and only look the other way or feebly say, "I will let the Lord deal with that one," then that wickedness is applied to our slate, plain and simple.
The most devastating blow a televangelist can get is the false accusation of adultery. Although I have already made this statement on my website I want to address those of you who have loved and valued my Christianity, integrity and my ministry for the 19 years that I was at 3ABN. I want to clearly emphasize that I was 100% faithful to my husband. I loved, trusted and believed in him to a fault. Imagine my shock when I realized that the false allegations in the form of libel, slander and defamation directed my way were initiated by two of the closest people to me on planet earth; one was my beloved partner and the other was my closest lady friend. I loved them both and trusted them both to the point that their close communication did not bother me in the least. I know that sounds naive, but I did not believe that Dan would do anything that would harm the ministry we had built together.
In 2004 there was a tremendous outcry at my departure. There was suspicion over how swiftly I was fired from my position and divorced. There was suspicion over the fact that I never had the opportunity to talk to the Board and defend myself. There was suspicion over the fact that every trace of my presence was completely cleared out of the campus of 3ABN, even before my termination, as well as the website, television and radio broadcasts. I was made a sacrificial lamb in a scheme calculated to remove me from both my home and my ministry through an orchestrated campaign of malicious lies circulated around the globe. No words can begin to describe the absolute agony this has brought to my life, but there are other victims as well, and may God bless and spare the young lives and tender souls who have also felt the stinging thrust of this sword of scandal.
It has completely broken my heart to see the emails and letters which have come from the Chairman of the Board, Dan and others at 3ABN, to hear of the television and radio programs where erroneous references have been made to the situation, to watch the ministry that I helped build with much devotion used to destroy me and also to hear of the reports of what is being said on the SDA chat sites about me today by those bent on my destruction ... nearly three years later.
It was the false accusation of adultery which caused the loss of my marriage, my reputation, my employment, and everything else. I challenge the 3ABN Board to produce the "irrefutable evidence" which caused a co-founder, a lifetime Board member, Vice-President and Secretary of the Board to be removed in that May 2004 meeting! I am asking, no demanding, that the information be made public at my request! Cast aside those pretended desires to "spare me"! The world is waiting with baited breath!
The stakes are high. I, as well as others, have personally experienced electronic surveillance, email theft, interception of cell phone calls, post-divorce entry into my private residence to the point where charges were filed with the police. It is not easy to live your life when you feel that you can never know for sure if you are being followed, watched or recorded ... even now. I have had invitations to do ministry thwarted because of continued allegations by those, who, like wolves in sheep's clothing, attempted to stop my ministry.
I want to make this absolutely clear: I left my home because I was not safe, I was not welcome. I was witnessing the murder of my reputation and ministry day by day. I stayed as long as I felt I could. I hoped, believed and prayed that things would change but they only got worse. The statements made that I left my husband for another man are absolutely and totally false. Any thinking person would realize that I had everything a Christian woman could have wanted in this life: a husband I loved and the opportunity to minister to millions of people about the tremendous love of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, though the ministry that we spent so many years building together. Although two of the people who I loved best have called me "Gomer," yet a more accurate term would be "Hosea," which I would only discover later. But I prefer simply, Linda, "SAVED by the Blood of the Lamb!"
I do not visit the chat sites. This has been a mega-trial for me and my way of coping has been to try and focus on other things. I realize that the individuals which make up our Church need healing from this disaster too. And perhaps the chat sites have served to help people give expression to their frustrations and hurts in this situation. I am grateful to each of you who have prayed and interceded for me. It has meant so much during my dark days. You'll never know just how much!
Now my kids are grown and I am alone ... but not really alone, although I have no husband. Now I belong to everyone and everyone belongs to me! And I still sing, "Thank you for being my family, thank you for being my friends: May God bless and keep you in all that you may do until we meet again!"
It is my goal to just make your journey and mine a little lighter and brighter. I have faith that the Lord still has a work for me to do, a new ministry. I am ready and available for church services, weeks of prayer, concerts, etc. as the Lord opens the doors. I do not know what my future holds, but God does and that's enough for me.
Just in closing I want to make an appeal to you to get out your binoculars, dust them off, bring them into focus and then search. Love your neighbor enough to be a Good Samaritan. When he is broken and bleeding in the middle of the road, focus your binoculars with the love of Christ, but don't stop there; reach out and meet his need in his time of crisis. Christianity is not something that "just happens." True Christianity occurs when a decided action is taken ... when we search, when we fill a need, when we mend a broken heart and when we are just "there" for hurting people. There are a lot of them. But there are too few Christians who focus their binoculars with love.
Thank you for being my family! Stay close to the Shepherd!
Blessings to you and yours,
Linda Shelton
In spite of this 3ABN or Danny Sheldon have only presented some unverified rumors!

3D - I write this as one asking a sincere question. I do not have first hand knowledge of any of the 3ABN
saga although I have followed it here, on CA and on BSDA earlier. Hence I have avoided giving any dogmatic
opinions, one way or the other.
I have heard of a number of individuals who were first alerted to a problem at 3ABN, and decided to look more
deeply into events there, by the behaviour of Danny Shelton and senior management, on and off air.
As one, by your own acknowledgement, who has looked very carefully at both sides, do you see any merit in these
statements? Would it have been sound judgement to have labelled Danny as one who "protested too much"?
Emma, thank you for your question. I am not sure if answering it in detail here is on topic or not. Smiley So, I will be brief. In looking at all and reading the very first posts and publicized announcements and letters. It is my opinion that 3abn initially gave no details and were in fact being criticized for not doing so. No one knew why Linda was no longer at 3abn or even what the problem was within the Shelton's marriage. IMO, that was all announced and made public by Linda, Darell Mundall, and Johann Thorvaldsson, and others, ( not by those who were alerted to problems and wanted to look at them) Linda adnd her friends were the ones doing "the alerting" - which in turn brought about the responses from Danny Shelton and 3abn, which in turn was used to justify the accusations by Linda and her friends that 3abn was publicly trashing her.
A friend is helping compile a timeline which demonstrates all of this, and includes the fliers handed out at campmeeting before Linda was even fired or divorced (fliers made by Johann, the DR, Linda's help, and Danny's ex son in law). The first article published by AToday revealing all from the perspective of "sources close to Linda" who were "speaking out" and referring to both Johann and Mundall, and Linda and her website registered in June of 2004 by Mundall- as sources. There is alot more... and many others also, in the small group who started all this publicity and ugliness, on CA, and then moving to BSDA and Maritime as a group to continue with their agenda to bring down both Danny Shelton and 3abn. When all the research is done, and documented, this will all be layed out and published online so all can see for themselves who the people were and what they did and said on Linda's behalf, and how they worked to orchestrate a campaign against 3abn with calls and emails to Churches and officials ect... Of course that can't be here, as this forum won't allow us to publish the identities of SSOM, Artiste, Sister, Watchbird or any of the others in the group, so that limits what I can say here. The other forum will do as one vehicle to finally reveal all as Linda has asked, and in fact demanded. Being that the lawsuit is over, It is past time, imo.
Has that other forum kept its promise? When will that happen?
But, anyway the point is Danny Shelton was speaking in reaction to all that was being said about him imo, and in hindsight it may have been better for him not to have spoken in some instances, but it was a case of he and 3abn being found at fault and attacked when they didn't say something, and then found at fault and attacked when they did. NOT easy. Unfortunately and imo it is true that many have said things on both sides in all of this which shouldn't have been said, but as far as DS protesting too much goes? No I don't see it that way. Not, if all is examined and what he actually said, vs what it has been reported that he said is looked at. If one goes by only what Linda and her friends have claimed, well I understand it could look that way, for that's exactly what they were trying to make it look like.
I hope this answers your question somewhat.

What hypocrisy, what utter disdain and defiance of the rule of law! To dare sue Gailon and myself over whether Linda committed adultery, to dare refuse to produce the evidence when required by law, and to dare speak of producing it after the lawsuit was wrongly dismissed!

What does it tell you that they have never produced what they said they were going to do?
How many people still believe such things exist, and live in a delusion?

I am so sorry, Christian. I didn't see this post until now. I was banned from Cindy's site for making accusations without support. I am sure she was under quite a bit of presure to do so. Some had been calling for me to be banned for a while. I ain't mad at her! She is still my friend, but my friends and I don't have to see ey to eye on everything. And I defintiely dont' see falling out over somebody else's business to which neither of us have ALL the information. Their stance is a bit perplexing, though. All of their information has no support, in seven years..........Well, it is beyond me, and I turn that over to the Lord. ;D
What site did you get banned from? I am not on the other sites and perhaps it is a good thing because I would probably be banned too. In any case take heart it will be okay and in the end you will be justified. Either they will repent or they too will be banned, but their ban will be from heaven.

princess, I am sure that I have banned from Cindy's site also, altho I haven't been back in a while. But since I have stated that I believe TS to be guilty since he "pled guilty", I am sure I have been banned. :ROFL:

Gurl, yeah I said that, too. Plus told them Danny was the one hot to get divorced cuz he had a chick on the side. LOL!!!

Dear Linda,
- - -
I have thought about you many times. I have always felt you were a godly woman and I have never wavered in that belief. As the years have gone by since the initial separation from Danny, the truth about things has continued to rise to the surface, vindicating you entirely. For that I am thankful. It is so wrong for a woman blessed with God-given talents to be suppressed and kept from using them as God would wish. I hope that part of your life is getting better. I do pray for you. As humans, we do feel hurt, loneliness, sadness, and a loss of faith in the human race. But as you have stated, God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. I hope other people are impressed, as I am, to drop a note from time to time, telling you that you are not forgotten, that you are loved and we miss your talents on 3ABN. I believe many people will be in the kingdom due to your ministry there.
I urge you to continue in a spirit of prayer. Prayer does change things. God sets up kings and he takes them down. I have no doubt that God has great plans for your future. The end days are upon us and we must “press together”. May you continue in the courage of the Lord. May the Lord bless you and keep you. If ever you are lonely and just want to talk or need more encouragement, please don’t hesitate to call. . . .

Hi Linda,
I came to Thompsonville several years ago to church and you and Danny happen to be there that day. I stuck a $100 bill in Danny's pocket for 3 ABN. At the time it seemed that there was a problem between you and Danny. Some time later I learned the reason why. When a few months later he married Brandy I was sure what was going on. Now I here she has filed for divorce, guess it serves him right.
The station just wasn't the same after you left. I did enjoy your visits from the porch.
I was just looking at your web site and it only shows that you only have 1 CD available at this time. Is this right or am I missing something.
I wish you all the best of God's blessings.
A. . . Oregon
I received your tapes.. And was so
Blessed with your music!!!
Can't wait till your new CD comes
out?? Don't ever stop writing songs
God has given you a wonderful
Gift'!!! I will keep praying for you &
Hope you will come to . . . Texas !!!!!!
. . . Just Hoping......
Your sister in Christ

And what does vindication do for you without just compensation for ALL that has been stolen from you these many years?
The Lord has known the truth long before we all discovered it!!! Yet he has allowed Danny Lee Shelton to benefit from the hypocracy for how many years?
I must asume Danny Lee Shelton has long since "filled his cup" with iniquity and wait with baited breathe for the day he is finally accountable for all that he has brazenly perpetrated upon so many...I cannot find the character to pray that the Lord will have mercy upon him or his soul...he very clearly deserves all that is delivered. I WILL REJOICE, regardless of your objections.

Dear Linda,
When this whole mess at 3ABN began I knew those storied about you were lies. I still miss you and your sweet smiles which reflects Jesus character. In fact I usually choose to watch HOPE CHANNEL rather than be reminded of all the evil against you.
I so wanted to contact you and let you know you are in my prayers and thoughts. However I have only recently learned to use the internet effectively and about using the search engine to find sites. What a blessing to find your site and know all the trials and tribulation has only served to bring you into a closer relationship to Jesus as friend and Savior.
Time has vindicated you for you took the high road and let God hold the reigns instead of speaking evil against Danny or 3ABN. Danny continues to tighten the rope around his own neck. It appears his greed, lack of self denial and false humility has caught up with him. The sad thing is he has lost you a fine Christian mate that was such an asset to himself and 3ABN.
As more and more of Danny’s sorted dealings have been revealed the ministry of 3ABN is at stake. Many people have been involved with the cover up and have much to answer for. As a friend of mine has said, “I don’t know if 3ABN’s ship can be righted and Christ be put at the helm since they have put Danny at center instead of Christ. It reminds me of the Battle Creek San. After years of prayer, effort and warnings, God’s last option was to burn the place to the ground.”
It was a joy to read your Dec 2009 note on your site and hear good things are happening in your life.
God continue to lead and Guide You, CC
Linda is still getting quite a few letters like this which reveal what impression the 3ABN people have made on the writers.
