Questions For Joe Smith, for starters: "mansion" & "huge pool" Options

[Ozzie]

Yes, Joe, could you please speak to the question regarding what Danny's house was appraised at, how much he actually paid Linda for her half of the house, and how the outstanding loan affected that payment? Then we will be able to verify that he did indeed pay her above the appraised value.

Joe
I would appreciate answers to these questions that have been raised yet again, please.

It appears that all the other answers, have just acted as a smokescreen, so that we all completely forget the initial allegations and the questions which arose from those allegations and so that the heat is taken off you Joe, to give reasonable answers to reasonable questions.

After Danny had kicked Linda out of 3ABN he went on world wide 3ABN making some very strong statements that sounded to me that he was speaking directly to Linda. I don't remember the exact wording, something to the effect that any programming, verbal or musical made at the offices of 3ABN were the property of 3ABN and no one had the right to take any of it with them from the premises. It seems to me that there was a thread from somewhere else in BSDA (I could be wrong..poor memory) to the effect that Linda was denied any of her programming musical or verbal by Danny and family at 3ABN. I remember while listening to that statement feeling very embarrassed that Danny would make any statement like that to millions of people. He did make other statements about his income and thoughts about his 'willingness to step down if necessary and the board refused to let him, so he is willing to continue his role'. Not exact wording but essence of speech. (can't find proper emticone to go with this statement)

The above comment is not 100 % accurate. The seperation agreement gave Linda ownereship of certain of her CDs. As to other material . . . . .?

If you will check her website page, http://www.lindashelton.org/music.html, you will see that she received and is selling the actual CDs which featured her... not only her solo CDs, but also the ones from the past which she and Danny made together.

However, it is my understanding that she did NOT receive the copyrights nor the masters from which she could have new CDs made that would carry her own mnistry imprint rather than the 3abn copyright and "reorder" information. I am also quite sure that she did not receive any of the video masters which featured her... but someone else with more direct information will need to confirm this.

So what did she really receive? Things that must twist the blade every time she looks at the supply and especially when she fills and ships an order. Things that retain an unbreakable "chain" to 3abn, since she is not free to hold the masters and the copyright in her own name.... even though the copyright owner has erased her out of his life. This must continue to be a very heartwrenching burden for her to bear.

If this is true, this is a very common/standard practice within the music industry--secular and Gospel/Christian--that the label retain the master tapes to the recordings and the copyrights to songs that she did not write or have publishing rights to.

The Separation agreement gives Linda "the rights including the masters to the five musical CD projects that she has had a primary role in (two solo projects and three duet projects with Danny and Linda.)" I do not know about the copyrights but I would think the word "rights" in the above quoted agreement probably means copyrights.

I am just trying to keep things accurate because Danny likes to quote and disprove or cast doubt on anything he can that is said in order to question our honesty and accuracy. Then he uses this to distract from the things which have been fully documented as true.

You are correct. Thank you for calling our attention to this. And I notice now that it also mentions the specific songs of hers on a video. See the contract at http://www.lindashelton.org/contract.html. This may mean then that she would have the legal right to have new CDs made with new labels... if she had the finances to do so. But in the meantime she has the old stock that is worthless to her unless she sells it as it is. So she is still caught in an unenviable position with the old stock.

Sorry Denny, already married, can't help you here.

Re: "here in Alabama 250k gets you a really nice size house..... with a decent size pool.... and even some land, depending of course where you buy....."

Where I live, 250 K could purchase you a small, but nice condo. But, then you would have to pay a monthly condo fee.

If you wanted a seperate home, no way. In the central area, 250 K might purchase you an older home needing repairs in a neighbourhood that was starating to run-down. If you were willing to go 20 - 40 miles out, you might be able to purchase a home ten years old, in a reasonable neighbourhood.

As to a pool, etc, no way!

"Joe" stopped in long enough to leave his rebuking sermon, but not to answer these questions. Doesn't that seem odd? Does he not care about sin?

Well such a heart you have! I will give you a miracle story, if you haven't alreay read it or maybe part of the publishing, it reads:
"What a joy to find you on my cable channel 19 in Sacramento. Your Bible truths lift me up form this dark world and give me hope for a brighter future! You're the Best!"
Miracles that God is working through His Ministry 3ABN.

Hum, do you have any such thing you would like to share sonshineonme? Something positive is always up lifting to the lost and perishing world whom might be reading this site.

Shame on you for claiming miracles of God's saving power as credit towards justifying Dan Shelton's despicable behavior!

Remember, God can use asses!

Although Dan claims 3ABN as his "baby," we are not willing to equate 3ABN with Dan Shelton himself. Much of the programmin on 3ABN is produced independently of Dan and could easily be shown through other channels as well. (And some of it is.)

As for Linda -- I trust no one is claiming perfection for her. If she didn't always react in the most Christ-like way under provocation, it does nothing to excuse the behavior of Dan Shelton since the divorce.
