Take It To The Chruch. Options

The word is out that legal charges have been filed. Supposedly they have been filed against "Linda's Team," Linda herself, and will be filed against people who have posted in the Internet forums.

I do not know of anyone who has been served with papers. So, at this point in time, as far as I am concerned, this is simply unsubstantiated. But, as the word is spreading, I wanted to tell you that I am not aware of anyone being served.

Paise God from Whom all blessings flow!

Whatever happens, my trust is in the Lord!

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manners of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad . . ."

This gives us the possibility to speak the truth. Even if they should put us in prison, what is that against what Jesus has done for my sake.

I learned this as a child sitting on my mother's lap as she was reading Scripture and Tetimonies to me - that some of the final persecution will come to us from fellow church members.

Our faith may be tried and tested. Stand firm in the Lord!

My understanding of it is that charges will be filed against people who have posted SLANDEROUS things on the forums.

I understand that Danny had quite a talk for worship. Does he shed any new light?

Just a thought....

I think that Clay said it best in one of his cartoons. Supposedly is the key word. It is absurd to even dream of serving papers because a person writes on some forum. That isn't the way we do things in America. But a bluff will work for some employees; it will make others hopping mad.

Two things have me very puzzled: How can one man cast a spell over so many people? How is it that someone in administration can't break away from this hypnotic trance?

The second thing that puzzles me is how people can work under a regime where there are threats of lawsuits and loss of jobs.

If my guess is right, more and more employees will be checking out save3ABN and BSDA. I hope we can make them welcome as it is going to be a terrible shock to some.

Was there any threat of loss of jobs made during the worship service?

If you knew he had "quite a talk" for worship then I am sure you know exactly what was said

Would you please define "Slanderous" for me?

Ralph, not only do they work under it, most support it. Why because they know the majority of what has been told here and other places isn't anywhere near, the truth. Every organization has a few employees or ex employees who will stab you in the back, but most of the good hard working people there, believe a great injustice has been done. Why? Because they are there day in and day out. They have worked and socialized with many of those talked about on this forum. Some of their children have played together and went to school together. Some, go to church together, some have sabbath dinner together. They rub elbows with the so called "corrupt administration" outside of the work forum and know them to be good and god fearing christians. Is anyone perfect? of course not. Have we all made mistakes? Certainly. Do we all have things in our past that we could have done differently? Absolutely. But the vast majority of 3abn workers know that these people are not thieves, liars, burglars, hypocrites and so on and so forth. That is the real reason why they work "under" someone who would file a lawsuit. Because they know that the slanderous and liable things that have been said have hurt the cause of Christ. They feel it is not just an attack on administration, but an attack on them and the hard work they do as well. People think about it. There are a hundered and 40 some odd people that work at 3abn. If all of these allegations were true don't you think the screams of that many people would have been heard a long time ago? These same people also know what Linda was like. They know what it was like to work there before she left and after she left and they have had plenty to say about the difference. But they keep it within the confines of their friends and families because they believe it is the right thing to do, as opposed to getting on the internet and telling their real opinions. They also know some things about her dismissal that no one here knows. THey know so much more than we, because they are there.
No matter how much you want to believe that 3 abn is just a small little group controlled by Danny, you can't. The group is large not small with very respected and business wise board members. Then there is ASI and until now, their integrity has never been questioned that I know of. You have people like Garwin McNeilus that has given of his time and money and has frequented 3 abn plenty enough times that if there was a rat to smell, he would have smelled it. Then you have the thousands of people that have visited through the years to volunteer for whatever was needed. At campmeeting time many come a month before the actual dates to help set up. What speaks for itself is the fact, that they keep coming back year after year. Can they get a feel on what is happening? Of course the can. They are not restricted as to where they go, or who they talk to off or on the campus. That is another lie that I have read here. That everything is guarded and visitors can't talk to the employees. The truth is the complete opposite of that. I know, I have been there before. I was free to look around anywhere I wanted (except the studios during taping of course) and talk to whomever I wished. And that goes for all the buildings, not just the main one. EVeryone was wonderful and the spirit there was full of much joking and laughter in some of the different departments. This was absolutely not an environment of oppressed or depressed people. Oh I'm sure there might be some grumbling about a new rule or regulation. Where have you ever worked that there wasn't. But, in no way, was this a nazi prison camp with Hitler in charge. Most here need to rethink what they have been told here, and from what source the information came from.

Bystander, if what you say is true, then that means that some of the employees are reading the forums, or they wouldn't know what is said here is "nowhere near the truth." If that's the case, why haven't they come to the defense of 3ABN? I know if I was working for someone that I loved and people started spreading false accusations about them, I would attempt to set the record straight. So far, we've seen none of that from the 3ABN camp.

Don't worry, I believe we will see many more people posting on this forum. After corporate "worship" yesterday, the station was buzzing.

I knew you were going to say that. Apparently you don't feel the same way.
