"Praise God from whom all blessings flow..." but when are "blessings" the machinations of haughty, non-repentant, ego-centric and arrogant human spirits and not the results of God's eternal efforts to honor those who serve him. If one is "blessed" with enough money one can afford to "bless" a ministry for a long time. TBN must be incredibly "blessed"!!!
The Federal Reserve Board saved Bear Stearns from certain annihilation...Bear Stearns was centrist in the predatory lending schemes that have resulted in so many homes collapsing financially and made billions in the five years that they made predatory loans available to hundreds of thousands of American Homes, but the Fed decided it was too big to fall...was
this a "blessing" of God??? Or simply the machinations of man determined to facilitate self preservation at any cost?
I am still struck at just how hypocritical it is to claim to be righteous, to claim that we should forgive and move on, yet hatred and virulence comes from every action toward the one Danny, now Gilley, and that 3ABN Board pretend to protect, Linda Sue Shelton. If that was the case, Why was it essential to
1) eradicate the name of Linda from 3ABN Presents,
2)to strike her name from every document and every credit,
3) including corporate documents,
long before she was purportedly terminated?
And why is it essential to make every effort to prevent her from conducting ministry these nearly four years later??? What possible or perceived threat could she be to 3ABN, its officers and directors???
Many of Danny's issues are well known to Gilley and the 3ABN Board and why has he not been terminated? Why have they clung to the man that is clearly the "magnetically" responsible party for business decision made that resulted in a failed Tax Appeal case? Why would you cling to the man that made the business decisions that may be responsible for the IRS Criminal Investigation? Why would you cling to the man known to be what McKee best descibed as a "lightning rod" for opposition?
Why is it that Linda Shelton is still the central theme when bad news befalls this ministry...the theme that it is all Linda's fault rings down those hallowed halls perpetually...a source told me of a recent conversation with the Pastor of the Thompsonville church trying to convince the source that Linda was the master-mind behind an effort to destroy 3ABN, she has mislead her friends (despite the evidence) and she is behind every evil befalling 3ABN and this pastor actually went so far as to propose that the IRS Investigators were just Linda supporters impersonating Revenue Officers...just how deluded, just how blind to reality can these poor souls be??? When will the great deception they are mucked up in become apparent? Will it be in time to avert greater disaster? And what happened to the premise that "if God be with you, who can be against you???"
People, has it occured to you that three credentialed SDA ministers sat on the 3ABN board in late January and February when they voted "unanimously" to litigate rather than pursue an ecclesiastical tribunal? And one of these men is the Illinois Conference President; The very same man that was warned, IN NOVEMBER 2006, that we had solid evidence of an IRS Criminal Investigation. He promptly called Walt Thompson who called Ewing and then arrogantly virtually dismissed the warning...can you imagine the difference it would have made if any one of them had simply made contact with the investigator rather than live in the delusion the WE did not know what we were talking about?
The issue is clearly a severe case of self inflicted blinders disease. Until they take them off, it is unlikely we will see the changes that need to be made. Linda, in their deluded minds, will remain the evil person that is responsible for 3ABN's various symptoms.
