QUOTE(vonessa @ Jun 23 2006, 09:45 AM) [snapback]135848[/snapback] Sister has said many important things to us, and I am just putting two and two together...Am I the only one here who takes sister seriously? At this point I think it is time for me to jump into the midst of the fray and address some issues that Vonessa appears to continue churning up, resulting in a repeat performance by all those that enter into dialogue with her concerning my 3ABN narratives. First, as a wordsmith I can appreciate the melodrama expressed in Vonessa’s emotional response to my writings. These narratives have only been a small attempt of illuminating some aspects of life within the ministry of 3ABN that have remained hidden to both the devoted television viewer and the casual observer visiting the ministry complex. But what I have found unnerving is the extrapolations that Vonessa has made and the conclusions she has drawn from those extrapolations. And following that, the measures she has suggested be undertaken based, not upon what I have written, but upon the conclusions she has drawn from her own extrapolations and attributing this line of reasoning to my writings. I beg to differ with Vonessa. I thank her for her appreciation of what I have written, but not for the inflammatory conclusions she has drawn, which draws attention away from the actual message and intent of the author of the narratives. Wild speculation and extrapolation tend to damage the credibility of what is written. So before we all get to far down the garden path, let us just turn around and get back on higher ground. One last thought, the importance of my writing is in the eyes of the beholder. To the victims whose stories I have revealed hopefully it brings a certain vindication. The more people who know what goes on behind the scenes at 3ABN, the less likely that others will be victimized in the same manner. It doesn’t ease their pain, but perhaps with the telling it will prepare the way for the time when more of the story is disclosed from other sources and more of the truth is uncovered. As to this being a one-sided account, it is the responsibility of the opposition to step forward and have their say. I do not choose, nor would I be expected to play Devil’s Advocate and present their spin on the truth. This is a public forum and Calvin is gracious in giving everyone the same opportunity to represent themselves. Perhaps the silence is roaring: what defense can be made when the truth has been revealed? I am still waiting for their answer... This post has been edited by sister: Jun 23 2006, 01:12 PM |

QUOTE(calvin @ Jun 23 2006, 10:16 AM) [snapback]135862[/snapback] There is always another side, Danny’s side which we have not heard. Haven't heard? Danny has had letters sent out to the 180,000 on his mailing list, spoken his side on worldwide television, and had his employees, board members, and associates do the same. Next to how widely his side has been heard, the other side has not uttered a peep. |

To be fair though, Beartrap, most of Danny's utterings have revolved around his miracle stories and the situation as he sees it that led to his wife being divorced, no?

QUOTE(PaperTigers @ Jun 23 2006, 06:56 PM) [snapback]135953[/snapback] I'm thinking I have to agree I agree with you both, too! Tonight, I have been trying to get on 3ABN's website to hear the self proclaimed, great one on 3ABN Today. All I can get is a blank page with 2 words in a large font that says, "Service Unavailable". What is happening? Anyone else having this happen? -------------------- The greatest want of the world is the want of men-- men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall. {Ed 57.3}
But such a character is not the result of accident; it is not due to special favors or endowments of Providence. A noble character is the result of self-discipline, of the subjection of the lower to the higher nature--the surrender of self for the service of love to God and man. {Ed 57.4} |

Now that 3ABN is permanently bumped off Sky Angel, some of these same viewers may be overloading the website bandwidth. The more difficult it becomes to watch online during the Sabbath hours, the sooner the donations will start drying up. We can only imagine the effect that could have on Danny.  He might have to start going to a dentist in Chicago, rather than flying the jet all the way to the California to get his teeth cleaned every six months. But we all have our burdens to carry.

Thank you again for telling these truths that we need to hear so desperately. There is no defense against what you said. It is a hammer of truth. I agree that we are to judge, or at least be fruit inspectors. A farmer knows that he has to sell good fruit because if he lets a few bad apples by from time to time people think his fruit is bad. I bought fruit at a fund raiser at our school and some of it was bad and I had to toss the whole box. Fortunately sister's fruit is good. Dannys - - not so good. If any of your fruit was bad then I would toss the box. Well, breakfast time for me. I am going to try to make stripples for the family. I am the deaconess today so I have to get ready. Happy Sabbath to all. |
