Dr. Thompson Letter: Options

[Observer]

Reference has been made to a letter that Dr. Thompson circulated, and comments that were made by Gregory Matthews about that letter in another Adventist Forum. Here is that letter, and those comments:

" From Walter Thompson
>
> Chairman, 3ABN board of Directors
>
> Regarding Danny's marriage
>
> Dear Family and Friends of 3ABN,
>
> Two years ago 3ABN was challenged by the most difficult battle
> the ministry has ever faced. It was a battle that threatened
> the very existence of the ministry and the work of preaching
> the end time message of the Three Angel's to the world. It is
> only because of the grace and power of God Almighty, and the
> faithful support of you, the 3ABN family, that the ministry
> has survived to preach another day. Today, the ministry is
> stronger than it has ever been and its reach into the world
> even broader and more powerful for the cause of truth.
>
> [See Note 1—GM.]
>
> As is always the case when in the public eye, questions arise,
> stories abound, and rumors spread. We thank God that you have
> trusted the leadership and board of 3ABN during this time and
> have stayed with us in ministry. More recently some of you

> allegedly illegal divorce occurring without Biblical grounds.
> This letter is an attempt to fill you in with the facts.
>
> [See Note 2—GM.]
>
> As chairman of the board I have been in the midst of this long

> counseled with Linda over and over again. I was present during
> the pleas and prayers, seeking to get her to give up her
> relationship with the doctor. I have seen and heard the
> evidence upon which the board has taken the action that it has
> taken. I have been one that has plead with Linda to keep her
> marriage and her ministry and offered to provide counseling
> for them. I have known Danny and Linda almost from the
> beginning of the ministry and have been in their home many
> times. They had a good marriage. It was not until this third
> party got in the middle did things begin to fall apart. It is
> also true that Danny really did want to get back together
> again, but when it became obvious that couldn't happen, he
> correctly had to close the door on that part of his history
> lest it destroy him and the ministry.
>
> [See Note 3—GM]
>
> The divorce was a mutually agreed thing, even the choice to
> get it from Guam where there would be no long wait. Linda had
> originally planned to move to Las Vegas long enough to become
> a resident there so as to get a divorce there. They then
> discovered the possibility of a divorce from Guam, checked it
> out and found it to be legal, and decided to go that route.
> Though I believe Guam has now stopped the program, the
> legality of a Guam divorce had previously been taken to the
> U.S. Supreme Court where it was ruled legitimate. As chairman
> of the board, I did not try to influence the decision, but I
> will say that had they not obtained a quick divorce, the

> [See Note 4—GM.]
>
> Linda's web site recently stated that she and Danny were not

At this point, I will place the comments that I have referenced above.

Note 1: Those of us who may be considered critics are loyal supporters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and of the work of God on planet Earth. We acknowledge that God led Danny and Linda Shelton to establish 3-ABN, a ministry that for many years has been led by God. We are thankful for what God has accomplished in the ministry of 3-ABN. To many people, 3-ABN is the face of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Now a scandal has tarred the face of that ministry. People are asking if God is still leading in the ministry of 3-ABN, and/or if God is using present leadership of 3-ABN to guide it in its ministry. These questions are sincere, and valid. Those who have supported 3-ABN in the past, have honest questions. We believe that God is still leading, not only in human life on this planet, but in the ministry of those whom God has called to leadership. But, we are reminded of times in the history of our denomination when human leaders made mistakes. God intervened, and in some cases, but not all, removed those leaders, and allowed old ministries to be replaced by new ones that were more receptive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

We are waiting to see how God leads in the ministry of 3-ABN. We do not know what God has in mind for 3-ABN. But, we do know that if its leadership fails to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, God will act in whatever manner God knows is best.

Note 2: None of us who know the law, have ever challenged the right of Guam to issue a divorce to citizens of the United States. We were aware that the U. S. Supreme Court had previously ruled on that question. However, even when divorces are obtained in one of the States of the United States, they may be subject to challenge. Some felt that the Guam divorce was subject to challenge. An IL State Court has dismissed that challenge. The Guam divorce is legal.

As to the issue of Biblical grounds for Danny to divorce Linda, and then to remarry another, that is a much more complex question. Some of the more liberal SDAs believe in multiple grounds for divorce and remarriage. But, in general, those who are the strongest supporters of 3-ABN believe that divorce followed by remarriage is only Biblical when the other has committed physical adultery. When those people hear (read) 3-ABN say that Danny had Biblical grounds, they understand that to mean that Linda physically committed adultery. They simply do not understand “Biblical grounds” for divorce and remarriage in any other way.

Note 3: I find the last sentence very interesting. Here it is said that Danny faced a decision between his marriage and his ministry and he chose his ministry. No ministry is dependent upon one person. The ministry of 3-ABN could go on without it present leadership. God is involved, and God will both remove and provide.

Note 4: One might say that the divorce was mutually agreed upon. That does not mean that both parties wanted the divorce. Often in a divorce, one party wants the divorce, the other agrees to it due to the fact that that party sees no option for reconciliation. I have found that one can often understand some of the dynamics that are going on in a divorce by looking at who it is that filed the action to divorce.

Note 5: Court rulings are complex. Sometimes non-lawyers misunderstand what a court has decided. There was a period of time where Linda and others were misinformed as to the ruling of the IL Court. All who did so regret that misunderstanding.

I am not aware of any time in which anyone has officially accused Linda of physical adultery. But when one talks about Biblical grounds, moral rights, and inappropriate relationships, many of the 3-ABN supporters will hear adultery. From the practical standpoint, 3-ABN might just as well have claimed that Linda committed such. In many ways, I believe that such lack of focus as to what Linda did has hurt her more than an actual charge of adultery would have damaged her. One can rebut a specific charge. It is very hard to rebut a non-specific charge.

Note 6: Again, words and terms are used that communicate physical adultery to 3-ABN supporters. It is implied the Linda and the MD had a relationship that was more than professional. There is a clear implication that the 3-ABN Board has evidence that cannot be questioned. One of my questions regarding this is to what extent was Linda allowed to present a defense. Accusations were made, and people testified before the Board. Was Linda allowed to present a defense in person? Was she allowed to bring witnesses to the Board to testify? If she was not granted all of the above, and more, the Board cannot say that they have evidence that cannot be questioned.

I raise these questions because of what has been circulated by others, to include supporters of 3-ABN. It has been said that the Board once heard evidence that the previous night Linda had spent the night with an adult male, not a relative that was married to another woman. It is also said that because Linda was not allowed to be present, and to present witnesses, that the Board never heard that the previous night the referenced male, and his wife, had spent the night with Linda, with both helping her to prepare her written defense, as she was not going to be allowed to be personally present.

Note 7: This entire situation is a tragedy. I have not, and do not intend to criticize Danny for his remarriage. But, that is probably because I may be more liberal than are many of the 3-ABN supporters. If the Board is wrong about the relationship that Linda had with that Dr., then the Board is wrong to tell people that Danny had Biblical grounds.

Note 8: I agree, so what if there is an age difference. Nothing should be made of that. Your second from the last sentence is interesting.

Note 9: Brandy should not be the focus of this. Regardless of right or wrong, the issues do not lie with her. The rights or wrongs lie with others. I join you in hoping that people on all sides of this issue will welcome her and the children that she brings to this marriage with both open arms, and with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I suppose it is about time someone replies to this letter by Walt Thompson. I will at least question some of the statements he makes. I will place my remarks in brackets [] below, deleting those Gregory Matthews made earlier.

Reference has been made to a letter that Dr. Thompson circulated, and comments that were made by Gregory Matthews about that letter in another Adventist Forum. Here is that letter, and those comments:

[Since I was in constant contact with Linda through this whole period I know that Linda could not give up a relationship which wasn't there. Danny made demands of her which Walt is not mentioning here, and therefore these stattements are fully absurd.]

I have seen and heard the
> evidence upon which the board has taken the action that it has

[Why is Walt unwilling to produce the evidence?]

I have been one that has plead with Linda to keep her
> marriage and her ministry and offered to provide counseling

[Linda did not need your pleading because this is what she wanted more than anyone else. It was Danny who did not want to remain married to Linda, in spite of the remarks he made for the gallery for the sake of the 3ABN contributers. Towards Linda and us he did not have the slightest interest in staying married to Linda.

Besides what real counseling did you provide? Absolutely none that was willing to listen to Linda!]

[This is a false statement. Linda never had plans of moving to Las Vegas. Danny tried to get her to do that, and even offered her thousands of dollars if she would move to Las Veggas. But Linda did not want a divorce.]

They then

[I was in communication both with Linda and Danny before and after that trip to Kansas. That couseling started with Danny indicating he would give that couple a substantial contribution. After that Danny downgraded Linda at least 50% of the time, and you know that Danny told you what he told the counselors as if they had said it. This is also how many of Danny's interviews run on TV. Here again, you listended merely to Danny's report of what happened, and ignored what Linda had to say, as you have done through this whole process.

Since we feel you are giving a false report, why can't we see the evidence you claim you have? Is it not substantial?]

[What is your evidence? Why can't we see it? What time did Arild and Linda spend together on both sides of the Atlantic? In another letter you state that they spent 10 days together in Norway in June. What evidence do you have for this? I have plenty of evidense that this was impossible because I was in close contact with Arild during that whole period.]

[Guest_statrei_*]

All of this unnecessary aggravation is based on the faulty premise stated in Thompson letter that we have some "work of preaching the end time message of the Three Angel's to the world. " Nothing can be further from the truth and any corrective measures taken within the context of this belief will be of no avail.

Based on a lifetime of Adventism I find it amazing that when we are comparing ourselves with other groups we downplay their size and the benefits they bring to their membership in favor of the truth we have, but when it comes to assessing ourselves the most important things are the benefits we can observe. Such inconsistency.

[Johann]

... the faulty premise stated in Thompson letter ... Such inconsistency.

No, I did not make a correct quotation. I'm merely catching your attention to the fact that finally Dr. Arild Abrahamsen has decided to speak out for himmself and Linda. We have long been praying that Walt Thompson and gang would abandon their harassment of Linda, preventing her from pursuing her own ministry and fulfilling preaching assignments.

Watch out for his story very soon on another thread. Stay tuned

[Daryl Fawcett]

I will be most interested in hearing from him seeing that he isn't under any gag order as Linda is.

JMO, but, I really do not expect Walt to reply at all - except he may stoop to create another trashy style letter out to the masses and if he does, it will probalby push him to go even further then he has recently in his letters, slamming Linda with more detail then anyone could make up, of course to CONVINCE those asking tough questions, that he has always told the truth. Each one is getting worse and worse. I hope you or anyone (I certainly don't) expect him to suddenly say, "ohhhh, right, I remember now, oops!". cause it ain't gonna happen, to be sure. Then too, remember that many of "his" letters are not really his, as those who know him, his style of writing, etc. have surely said his name is being used (most probably with his persmission) on many letters that are in fact written by Mollie and/or others. Not that it really matters who writes it and who signs it, for this has been a team effort all along....and the team has grown as necessary. On top of all this, again, Linda can't say a thing (and will not at this time). I guess she hasn't had to, has she?

Was this letter generated april 10 2006 in club adventist??? I am trying to edit and arrange in order these quotes by date.

[PrincessDrRe]

Just a suggestion - can we only quote the entire letter if we are going to address points within the entire letter - then only by underlining the parts that are to be addressed? When you quote such a long article/letter it takes up pages on the board...

Jes a suggestion....

Reference has been made to a letter that Dr. Thompson circulated, and comments that were made by Gregory Matthews about that letter in another Adventist Forum. Here is that letter, and those comments:

" From Walter Thompson

Since there is s new thred on D. Walt Thompson I find it appropriate to bounce this back so we can evaluate some of his *great* avhievements.

[Johann]

I suppose it is about time someone replies to this letter by Walt Thompson. I will at least question some of the statements he makes. I will place my remarks in brackets [] below, deleting those Gregory Matthews made earlier.

[Since I was in constant contact with Linda through this whole period I know that Linda could not give up a relationship which wasn't there. Danny made demands of her which Walt is not mentioning here, and therefore these stattements are fully absurd.]

I have seen and heard the
> evidence upon which the board has taken the action that it has

[Why is Walt unwilling to produce the evidence?]

I have been one that has plead with Linda to keep her
> marriage and her ministry and offered to provide counseling

[Linda did not need your pleading because this is what she wanted more than anyone else. It was Danny who did not want to remain married to Linda, in spite of the remarks he made for the gallery for the sake of the 3ABN contributers. Towards Linda and us he did not have the slightest interest in staying married to Linda.

Besides what real counseling did you provide? Absolutely none that was willing to listen to Linda!]

>
> The divorce was a mutually agreed thing, even the choice to

[This is a false statement. Linda never had plans of moving to Las Vegas. Danny tried to get her to do that, and even offered her thousands of dollars if she would move to Las Veggas. But Linda did not want a divorce.]

They then

[How can you claim she did not know? Did you check all of her communication?]

[I was in communication both with Linda and Danny before and after that trip to Kansas. That couseling started with Danny indicating he would give that couple a substantial contribution. After that Danny downgraded Linda at least 50% of the time, and you know that Danny told you what he told the counselors as if they had said it. This is also how many of Danny's interviews run on TV. Here again, you listended merely to Danny's report of what happened, and ignored what Linda had to say, as you have done through this whole process.

Since we feel you are giving a false report, why can't we see the evidence you claim you have? Is it not substantial?]

We offered to provide Linda with the opportunity to

[What is your evidence? Why can't we see it? What time did Arild and Linda spend together on both sides of the Atlantic? In another letter you state that they spent 10 days together in Norway in June. What evidence do you have for this? I have plenty of evidense that this was impossible because I was in close contact with Arild during that whole period.]

Here is his letter with the comments I made in brackets in between at that time. I may have done something slightly different today!
