Gailon;
One of the most amazing facts about this lawsuit is the truth about being deceived to new levels. God has warned us that the greatest lights would go out. Before I caught on about what was happening with 3ABN eBay, I thought that 3ABN was was raised up by God and was his instrument to bring Jesus to take us home.
I watched every minute that I could. I was a very busy women back then and had to make time for 3ABN. I was spiritually drawn to Linda and her messages from the "Porch".
I wondered why God chose them! Then I remembered EG White wasn't as educated as Danny and she was a prophet. Danny's lack of education was so apparent, but Linda was more intellectual. Once Doug Bachelor was being interviewed; Danny was asked how he studied to see if the historical messages he received from viewers were the truth thorough the Bible in History. Danny openly said Linda did all the research and gave Danny a report back.
This bothered me a lot. From the way he spoke, I felt he was sliding to heaven on Linda's coat tails! Many times she would be speaking and he would cut her off. Then he would tell the world that Linda said he talked too much and needed to shut up and get on with the program. She never did that on air while I was watching! So, maybe she did.
I admired Danny being so open about his lack of education. In fact, at times I thought Danny used that to impress people like, "Look what I did without all that education people say is needed to preach God's Word!"
Then I was confused about eBay. They were soliciting donations of tangible items, (non-cash). I remember thinking that many people probably had collections they saved for years and decided to give it for God's work. I thought it was really a great idea. I gave to 3ABN through my offerings. At least until I saw what was happening on eBay. Then I stopped. I did not know if Danny was smart enough to be part of it or not.
I began to watch the items sold and bought. Because I was watching items so closely, I noticed something else that really had me concerned. Other people were selling for them. I began to watch all sellers everyday and followed the transactions. I saved pages and pages of eBay in PDF format. I made purchases and saw I was right. 3ABN did not get the money!
This was happening 1998-2006. In 2003, I got a call from a fellow that has an ear filled with all the church undercurrents within the Adventist church. He told me the boat was rocking at 3ABN. A group of prayer warriors were allegedly praying to get rid of Linda. I heard that Garwin McNeilus alleged told Danny to get rid of her, and he didn't care what it cost; he would cover it.
This was before the doctor came into the picture. Then I received another call. Allegedly Linda was having an affair with a doctor that was treating her son. I thought it might be true! I decided to gather all the information I could lay my hands on. I pulled out the emails I had received for and against Danny or 3ABN. I felt I needed to know the truth of the matter enough for my understanding.
I began a time-line in PDF format. I inserted posts from CA, VOAR, PM's and emails as they happened. Most people don't look at things chronologically. I was able to satisfy myself that Linda did not have an affair. Nor did she have an inappropriate relationship.
I was receiving news from 3ABN on the Q-T. Linda was fired and Ganny allegedly was trying to get her to do the divorce thing. That was allegedly necessary so Danny could remarry. My email stated filling with information that Brenda Walsh allegedly was with him in his house until the wee hours in the morning.
I heard about him helping Linda with her porch, the Private Investigators even after the divorce. I heard that allegedly Melody and Brenda were doing Danny's laundry and redecorating the house to get rid of the Linda's presence.
I heard this alleged story from several people involved with 3ABN. Yet a few months later I started communicating with one of Danny's public relations people. He told her what to communicate with me. He did not like what I was posting about the 3ABN financial matters. I asked why Brenda was allegedly at his house at all hours of the night while Linda was asleep upstairs. Danny denied Brenda ever being in his and Linda's home, no, not even once. The word from several sources alleged Danny was having an affair with Brenda!
In reading the 3ABN vs. IL Property Tax Lawsuit and began to real, serious problems with 3ABN's accounting. I earnestly prayed about the information coming in. I cried and cried. I still wanted to refuse to believe what was before my eyes. There were some areas of reasonable doubt I had to clear up. I did that and began posting. That is when I gave the timeline and all the information I had to date to the IRS.
It was enough to get replies. It was taken and a case number was assigned. I reported in October 2004. It became a case in January of 2005. From that day to this I have been trying to get the news out that there are serious financial irregularities.
God prepared the way for me to be able to devote many hours to research. I am a retired accountant. I have some things I excel in. I plug loop holes where cash can easily and freely be taken.
From 3ABN's explanations and the audits, I can say 3ABN has serious Cash Control problems. I am doubtful they even today have any cash control procedures set up. They do not have separation of duties!
Then I told one of my dear friends. She refused to listen and said she was going home to give them a donation. Time passed. She now knows and has asked me to forgive her. She said it was just too hard to believe something that she did not want to hear.
This is the dilemma. We, as Adventist are comfortable with the status quo. We don't want change or to change our firm belief system. As we age, we find out some things in life were not as our parents had relayed them to us.
It is like a catholic hearing the truth. Many refuse to believe even when they see it from their own Bibles. They will not listen. They close their ears and continue what they current beliefs are from childhood.
It is hard for Adventists to clearly see what the problem is. They refuse to hear the evidence and facts. Maybe I would be an unbeliever about the facts of 3ABN if I had never done my own research; followed eBay; read the Lawsuit; read the audit reports and read the 990's!
I believe with all my heart God prepared me for this. I became seriously ill in 2000. I was so ill I could not work. I took leave to see if I rested for 6 months, maybe I would be OK. I had to retire medically. As soon as everything was said and done, I went into remission. I wasn't well, but I could work at my desk. I believe the Lord gave me this information about 3ABN. God expected me to follow his will in exposing these facts. I did. I knew it was my job to do.
As time passed, I drifted out of remission. As I believe with all my heart, I believe God sent you, Gailon, and Bob to carry the torch. I have needed a rest. However, I can still breathe occasionally and will still comment occasionally.
I do not know what God's plans are for my life or yours and Bob's. God holds tomorrow. He is in charge. Too many people know the facts now. Some have chosen not to believe, while others see the problem clearly.
When I pray, I pray for the Sheltons, you and Bob, and all of those who read all the evidence. I pray for the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of the unbelievers and lead them to recognize there is are serious problem.
Most of all, I want us all saved in the Kingdom with Christ. I want us all to worship at His feet! I want my children there. God did not give me the task of making people to believe. The Lord is Lord of the Harvest. He will speak to each heart and it is up to the person’s free will. Anyone who commits a crime, will do the time. Yes, even me!
