Well, now we do have to look at the fact that the ministry is still there and blessing people, bringing them to Christ. We can't discount the many people who still say it is a blessing to them daily. We also know that there are Godly people working there, some of our members here, the Eakins, etc. who are true Christian people ministering. So, Danny could have been called to start it, but like Saul his sinful ways are causing him to be "uncalled". He is suffering the consequences of his personal choices.
QUOTE(sonshineonme @ Jan 16 2007, 11:36 AM) [snapback]170354[/snapback] Yes, di, I see we are in agreement . My feeling is also that while you can be uncalled, I really can't and won't say that someone has been called. And I have been around a lot of so called "called" people. To me that changes the direction (I'm sure there is a better word for this) in ones mind of what happens and can happen, the human phyche can be mislead if you are locked in to this "no matter what" thinking. I've seen it in my own family, and it terrifies me to see it - this hanging on to a man rather then a God. To me it holds you back from really seeing evil and sin in all its forms. -------------------- TTFN
Di And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose---Romans 8:28 A great many people believe they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.-- William James It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.- Mark Twain |

QUOTE(sonshineonme @ Jan 16 2007, 01:26 PM) [snapback]170349[/snapback] You did not make a mistake by calling me Mr. Pickle. I just jumped in to your comment towards him, so I stated I am not him, but addressing part of your comment. As to what you said here, and I'm sure I won't be the only one addressing this, I will comment on your thinking, which I have colored in red. Have you decided that God did it or Danny? I can't tell by your words...it seems somewhat worshipful of a man to me... God can do anything in spite of a person. But, you are giving credit to Danny as if he got this done thru God. A man can be VERY determined to do anything he sets his mind to (and if you know DS, he is all about determination and not giving up when he wants something) and so based on his motives and minipulation tactics, he could very well get something accomplished like this. You're picture of how this happend has been given to you by DS as well. It is given to you, and others for the purpose of saying "God did this and used me" for credibility sake. You are looking to a man and assuming GOD did this. God may have made something good come from what DS set out to do for many reasons that could have been very selfishly motivated. I will not assume anything as you have - I certainly can not take DS word on how things came about as I know that he has exagerated and mislead in this area to give a picture he wanted out in order to gain support and to promote exactly what you have now projected. Again, do you really know his fruits? If you are to find out his fruits, as you willing to admit he is a mere man who is faulty and God used that building and those volunteers in spite of the man? This picture is much bigger then you would like to sum up in your mind. Why don't you let God show you exactly what He has done in spite of DS and his real motives. Don't be mesmerized by what you have been taught and lead to see. Open your eyes. I read what you have written with an open mind. Really, and for 20 years that ministry has been going. Um, have we fogotten that the majority of these 20 years, there was a lady named Linda who backed, supported, and well according to you was part of some huge deception. See some how the picture has narrowed here. Have you always felt this way about 3ABN? Oh, I assume that there are those who look to humans in some idolistic way. That would be very scary place to be. Personally I can see a good work in the ministry and that was with Linda and Danny, and how it is now. This ministry will go on to witness for our Lord. They didn't, Danny don't make the ministry |

There are people who have given their money and time in dedication to that ministry that has done good. NO one said it hasn't. Linda gave 200%. There are people there now that are doing the same. This has nothing to do with that. This has to do with a mans motives to get what he wants for any reason. I will never assume anything, that includes his motives. That is my point. Called or uncalled. It makes no differnce to me. That fact remains that this mans motives are extremely questionable. And yes, even Linda may also wonder now as well. People can be in the same house and same business and be on very different pages. Only God knows the heart of a person. We have the fruits to go by, and that's isn't numbers coming into the church - many people can accomplish numbers. God gets the numbers, not a man.

I think, Teresa, that somehow you are part of the cover up. Don't know how else to describe it.
There is sin in the camp, and until it is taken care of, God will not bless His people as He wants to do. Lying, attacking, accusing, distracting, threatening, intimidating, all to cover up allegations of a) child molestation and b ) propositioning men, allegations that Tommy himself admits to, at least in part, and you choose to be part of that? Why? Why would you be involved in something so ungodly? Whether the allegations prove true or false, this is absolutely the wrong way to deal with such allegations. If you think otherwise, go talk to a conference administrator somewhere. Go talk to your insurance agent. Go talk to your sheriff or police chief. Go talk to the local Catholic bishop. And then come here and tell us what they had to say. |

The prize in the end is the glory of God... the releasing of prisoners of fear... and the exposure and dethronement of evil. Yes, Teresa, whoever you are and for whatever reason, you ARE "dancing" rather than showing respect to those who are attempting to dialogue with you. And you are are not only showing disrespect to us, but you are showing disrespect for yourself.... for you are tripping over your own feet. You would be well advised... if you have any shred of self-respect even... to either answer the questions directly or stop making more oblique accusations. If you have specific complaints... for example that you object to your letter having been made public... then have the guts to say exactly that. Own the letter and explain why you wrote it and why you aren't brave enough to own up to it now. If you don't... then give up on the distraction game. This group is not that easily distracted and you are liable to get trampled in the mud if you try to play it. As it is, you are doing nothing but continually making yourself look more emptyheaded and crass. It is not too late to redeem yourself... .this is a very forgiving and understanding group to anyone who is playing fair and honest with them. |
