So what can be done? At present the lawsuit will drag on for at least another year, not counting appeals, unless the other side starts to give. And the IRS's plans, that's a wild card.
Just a few questions to clarify. Please provide only direct answers to the specific questions.
We all know if you are given a clearance by the IRS....YOU ARE CLEARED. Meaning the IRS is known for finding things when their really isn't anything to find. So, if they clear you, you can be sure you are squeaky clean. My question?
What will your reaction be if the IRS completely clears 3abn of any financial wrong doing? That would mean, accurate tax records, no private inurment, no 3abn monies spent on anyone's personal needs, etc...etc..
IMO if that happens that would mean a large number of stories you have repeated, as well as, your own take on what constitutes private inurment, mishandling of funds and on and on would be totally incorrect. Without merit. Down the tube. In other words, your opinions and your sources opinions aren't worth a dime compared to the IRS. If your financial allegations are proven false then think how many other accusations you have made that could be in error also. Several come to mind.
1. You have stated repeatedly that Danny ADMITTED having no biblical grounds for divorce. I have found that to be totally false. Because the "board" mentioned spiritual adultery does that "rule out" they had no knowledge of "actual" adultery? I think not. I believe the board acted respectfully by not airing the sordid details. If and I say If, Danny referred to spriritual adultery does that also mean he doesn't have evidence of actual adultery and again, was being respectful by not going into detail? To say that Danny ADMITTED to not having biblical grounds for divorce is so far from the truth, it is actually a lie. I have noticed Mr. Pickle that you say what you need to where you need to, to fit the situation. For instance. I have read numerous times where you have accused Danny of trashing his ex wife on the air and trying to ruin her reputation by saying she committed adultery. Then, as in your more recent post, you say he ADMITS only spiritual adultery. I'm confused. If he ADMITS it was only spiritual adultery then how could he, at other times, trash her by accusing her of "actual" adultery? If Danny and the board have evidence then certainly Danny had biblical grounds for remarriage, and he nor the board owe Linda or anyone else an apology for their actions.
2. Your allegations against Tommy Shelton seem to be like a broken record. The same stuff over and over again. So much so that I have wondered if you had a bad experience in your past that makes you dwell on this subject. I know this will be hard for you but, moving past that, your allegation against Danny is that he "covered up" molestation. I have a few opinions myself on the subject.
First from what I have read and heard, your accusation of pedophilia is way out of line. But, to get to the main point, there are other possible scenerio's besides a "cover up." Did it ever occur to you that maybe Danny repeated to Walt Thompson the information that he had heard and believed? Or, that Danny may have had knowledge of some mistakes (not pedophilia) made in the very distant past but knew (or thought) that the problems had been resolved and had no reason to believe that during the time of Tommy's 3abn employment that anything was amiss? As far as I can tell that is an accurate assumption. The employment time is all Danny would be responsible for. I would sure hate to hold the head of any organization accountable for any mistakes or sins that their employees had made through their lifetimes. Ha, there wouldn't be any companies left.
3. You are a broken record on private inurment also. Yet I have read from some of the posters say that attorney's and auditors have been through the records and handled the transactions at the time, and have found everything above board. Yet, you seem to think you have some insight that they do not. If the IRS clears 3abn will you also claim insight that they don't have?
4. You are constantly referring now to the "stupid" lawsuit and what a terrible thing it is that 3abn filed one against you. This is what I get from the forums, emails you have made public and comments from both sides.
For whatever reason, you became involved in questioning some things you had heard about 3abn. Personal things, financial things... So you and Joy, complete strangers try or do contact Danny with your very personal questions while all the time, already repeating stories and accusations that you had been told. Danny then, began to get phone calls that you guys were trouble and couldn't be trusted and were working with Linda to try and hurt 3abn. ( I read that somewhere.) So Danny decided 1. all you were doing was repeating tales, 2. who were you to be cross examining him or 3abn in the first place. You and Joy began to make phone calls and send emails to people you had been told had problems with 3abn/Danny/the board and began to collect their stories. You repeated publicaly all the stories you were told. With no evidence, I might add. Yet, all the while, you were proclaiming your desire to "save" a ministry. To do that, IYO, most of administration would have to be wiped out. Soon your accusations spread to anyone that has had anything to do with 3abn. Their personal lives, their families, to you everyone was and is fair game. I am still looking for the justification of trashing those that support 3abn, Shelton family members, family members of the board of directors, to try and "save" 3abn. The trashing of so many other people's reputations has nothing to do with the 3abn ministry and your claim to "save it." What it does have to do with is developing hate and bitterness as you have progressed on your "unholy" mission. You are at the point of destroying reputations just for the sheer joy of doing it. If your "sources" told you that John Doe was involved in thievery 10 years ago, expose it. Expose them, whether they are guilty or not. If someone told it to you, then obviously you feel it your obligation to make it public. Doesn't matter how much or how little exposure to 3abn John Doe had or how many years ago he "allegedly" stole something, broadcast it. Make it public. Even though, you can't prove it and are doing nothing but passing along gossip around the water cooler.
That isn't even mentioning the fact that you created a website called "save" 3abn so that many times when people were searching the net for the "real" 3abn ministry they accidentally fell into the black pit that you had created for public consumption.
So as time went on and your allegations and accusations became more and more serious and you continued to state these allegations as facts to anyone who would listen, 3abn finally decided to take action and file a lawsuit for defamation, copyright, and whatever else they filed for. And...you were, shocked, offended, horrified and clueless as to why they would take action?
??
Somehow you expect the general Adventist public to believe your actions are trying to "save" 3abn? That you are following biblical principal? And that big, bad scary 3abn is trying to nail 2 poor little men who were only trying to help them?
You have to be kidding.
