You have committed an egregious and horrible mistake in firing Linda Shelton from her position as Vice President of 3ABN. She did nothing to deserve being fired, in fact, for almost twenty years she gave everything she had to build that network. And she certainly is not an adulteress.
What did she get for her 11-12 hour work-days for almost 20 years, her donations of her CD royalties to 3ABN, Linda’s repeated giving of her weekends for years and years to travel for 3ABN after working long hours all week, and her allegiance and total dedication to the network for almost twenty years? What was her reward? All of you Board Members threw her out like a piece of trash – and allowed every memory of her to be erased as though she never even existed.
The truth is that Danny Shelton – NOT Linda - is the adulterer! He falsely accused Linda of the sin of which he is guilty. In psychiatric terms, that is called projection.
The fact that Danny – NOT Linda – is the adulterer has been the “Gorilla in the room” that everyone knows is there, but everyone is pretending is not there.
Danny had no biblical grounds to divorce Linda and no biblical grounds to get remarried. By definition, according to the Bible and the Seventh-day Adventist church, that makes Danny Shelton the adulterer. The only way any Board member could have endorsed Danny’s re-marriage was to have proof of Linda’s adultery – which none of you have – nor does Danny Shelton! And innuendo and false accusations are not adequate to classify as “proof.”
Danny had to accuse Linda of adultery – viciously, loudly (and falsely), in order to pretend to have “grounds” to marry the woman he had “waiting in the wings” – yet still hold on to his reputation and prestige, maintain his private access to the “money tree” of 3ABN, and keep his job with all its perks, including his private jet.
In the spring of 2004, I received a phone call from Danny Shelton. He said he wanted to discuss a certain situation regarding a couple he said he was “counseling about a marriage problem.” He said the wife of the couple had committed “spiritual adultery.” Because I had never heard of such a term, I asked him to define it. He said it was when a wife had given her heart to another man. I asked him how “this woman” had demonstrated that she had “given her heart to another man.” Danny was quite vague with his answer. I then asked if the woman had committed physical adultery with another man, and he answered, “No.” I asked, “Does the wife still want to be married to her husband?” Danny Shelton’s answer was, “No.” But I later found out that last answer by Danny was not true!
It was several months later, in June of the same year (2004), when the fact that Danny was divorcing Linda became public knowledge that I again heard the term “spiritual adultery” bantered around, and I realized in retrospect that Danny had not been talking with me about “a couple he was counseling” but he had actually been referring to Linda. And his answer that the “wife” (meaning Linda) “did not want to remain married to her husband” was blatantly false. Linda wanted very much to remain married to Danny at that time and couldn’t figure out why he was behaving so strangely. It was only after Danny told Linda, “I want you out of my house” that Linda realized Danny was actually planning to divorce her.
I challenge any Board Member to show me any evidence that Linda committed adultery. Send it to me at the address on this letterhead. And if you cannot show me that evidence, you will have to admit that you, indeed, have made an conspicuously horrible error in firing Linda Shelton.
And the kind of “evidence” of which I’m speaking does not include the false accusations and outright lies by Brenda Walsh, accusations that crumble with the slightest investigation - investigation that all of you should have done – but obviously did not. I have a copy of a tape of Brenda telling lies, why don’t you?
All of you, including Board Chairman Walter Thompson, have been sycophants for Danny Shelton. He has “conned” you completely. You all have believed Danny Shelton’s version of events without having any evidence. In fact, Walter Thompson has admitted that he has never had any evidence of adultery against Linda Shelton.
As in any organization, everyone wants to keep the organization going, secure their own jobs, keep the donations rolling in, and save face for the network and the “church.” And the first casualty is always - - - the truth! So Linda Shelton was thrown to the wolves. You obviously considered her expendable! She was the scapegoat who was thrown overboard to “save” the sinking ship. Danny deliberately – and falsely - made Linda the object of contempt to point the finger away from him – and towards Linda - in order to cover up his own despicable behavior!
One board member who has been repeatedly touted by Danny Shelton as having “counseled” Linda about her marriage problems actually gave her NO counsel at all. She said to Linda, “We really don’t care about the marriage problems between you and Danny, all we know is that the President of 3ABN (Danny Shelton) doesn’t want his Vice President (Linda Shelton) anymore!” What kind of “counsel” is that! How “Christian” is that?
So, Walter Thompson and all you other Board members, tell me – and tell the world – WHY did you fire Linda Shelton from her position as Vice President of 3ABN? If it wasn’t for the false charge of adultery – for which you have NO evidence – then tell all of us out here your specific reason. You know in your heart - and in your gut - that it was only because Danny Shelton told you to do it.
Danny Shelton keeps repeating that, “No reason is needed in the State of Illinois for an employer to fire an employee.” (How “convenient” for him – and all of you.) I guess the State of Illinois is Danny Shelton’s “god” – and yours. But Christians should have a much higher standard for their actions than the unfair “laws” of a corrupt State bureaucracy. We are all accountable to the Lord for our actions. The 3ABN Board is not exempt - even though you have behaved as though you are. Firing Linda for no reason, humiliating her publicly, falsely accusing her of adultery, destroying her reputation, and throwing her out of her home, job and marriage on false charges - is NOT “Okay” with God, irrespective of the unjust “laws” of the State of Illinois.
And your endorsement of such a travesty is shameful.
Your complicity in this mess makes you just as guilty as Danny Shelton.
Are you aware that in 2002, after 18 years of marriage to Linda – and at a time when Linda was virtually finished with her childbearing years - Danny Shelton “suddenly” decided to have a vasectomy? A few months later, he moved his toiletries and other things out of the bathroom that he had shared with Linda for years, into a separate bathroom in their home, and simultaneously began regularly working out at home, something he had never done before, subsequently purchasing a Bowflex gym set to begin vigorous bodybuilding.
Ladies, I ask you, if after being married to your husband for 18 years - when you are now approaching the age when you will no longer be able to become pregnant - your husband, 1) gets a vasectomy, 2) buys a body-building gym and begins working out regularly trying to become “buff”, and, 3) moves his toiletries out of the bathroom he has shared with you for years, into another bathroom, with no explanation – what would YOU think was going on? And this began a full two years before Danny suddenly started accusing Linda.
It doesn’t take an “Einstein” to figure it out. Circumstantial evidence it is, but a lot stronger circumstantial evidence than anything you have against Linda Shelton. And this circumstantial evidence is only the proverbial “tip of the iceberg.” Why do you think that Danny’s goal has been to force a “Silence Agreement” on everyone who has information about this sordid episode! The “dirty laundry” is waiting to be exposed. It’s your job to expose it – not to cover it up!
Where is your intestinal fortitude to tackle a difficult problem? Where are the questions that you should be asking Danny Shelton? Where is your obligation to pursue truth?
So again, my challenge to you, Chairman Walter Thompson, and all of you other Board Members who have clearly not done your duty, is to show me and everyone else who has donated their hard-earned money to 3ABN, the evidence that Linda committed adultery with anyone while she was married to Danny Shelton. And tell us WHY you fired her! In case you’ve forgotten, without donors - - you don’t have a network. Stop ignoring the “Gorilla in the room.”
We donors have a right to know the truth.
Yours truly,
Lorraine Day, M.D.
