About two hours ago, Mr. Matthews posted the following in another adventist forum.
"1) I still have people coming to me and telling me that the satellite problems that 3-ABN has had are related to Linda. Let me say again, Linda is not powerful enough to take 3-ABN off of the satellite. I accept as truth what 3-ABN, and others have said that the problems are problems with the satellite. 2) This week-end the story went out that Linda had married the Doctor. At one point it was published on the Internet. That story is 100% false. Linda has not remarried. She does not have any plans to remarry. She is not planning to marry that Doctor. 3) At the present, Linda is actively engaged in ministry. This last week, she was in Kansas, and she is available for booking in SDA Congregations throughout North America. If you would like to discuss the possibility of her presenting a program in your area, you may contact her at her website. www.lindashelton.org/ 4) Linda is also developing in connection with others, a ministry to abused women. As I write this, plans are being made, in connection with an official organization of the SDA Church for Linda to produce a series of television programs on this subject. You will hear more about this as these plans develop. 5) While things seemingly are going well for Linda, I encourage you to remember her in your prayers. In the past public announcements of concerts that had been arranged with Linda has resulted in some attempting to have them cancelled. It is for that reason that I have not be specific in statement # 4. 6) Let me share something quite personal with you-all. At an earlier time in this sad sage, at a time when Linda was quite down on what was happening to her, she felt that the Lord was very close to her, and impressed her with a message. That message was the she had more to endure, but that the time would come when the Lord would restore her to her place in ministry. She has not understood this to mean that she would be restored to ministry at 3-ABN, a ministry that she, with Danny co-founded. But, she has understood this to mean that she would be restored to ministry, as God felt best. She believes that she is seeing this take place. 7) Remember her in prayer, as there are probably those who will attempt to prevent her from doing ministry. 8) God is in charge, and His purpose will be accomplished. -------------------- Gregory " I have posted it here as it may be of interest to you. -------------------- Gregory Matthews posts here under the name "Observer."

Of course that has NOTHING to do with it!
 This same thing happen with 10 of SkyAngels contracted satelites...10 ...7 were restored on their same frequency, and three had not--HOWEVER 3ABN was given an alternate Satelite frqeuncy so that the 10 Commandments Weekend Program would be aired....Please ask whoever it is to relax and let go of the "conspiracy theory"--it is not Christ-like at all...

Yes, indeed. My first contacts with her were within only a few months of the divorce, and even then I was impressed by her attitude of confidence in the Lord and her forgiving spirit to all who had wronged her. What most don't know is the burden she carried for Nathan during the last 5 or more years of her TV ministry when his drug addiction was so out of control it was endangering his very life. 3ABN watchers only saw a calm, serene Linda, holding her Bible, reading promises, and giving her little comments about them. Who could have guessed that she was reading those and clinging to them as a very literal life-line for herself while the concern for her son and the turmoil of her seemingly complete inability to do anything to help him raged within her, totally hidden from viewers. Small wonder then, when she heard of a doctor who was having success in working with young people, including those with problems like her son's, that she grasped at the opportunity to get the two of them together. |

The person who made the statement (not Observer who merely copied it to BSDA) is in a sense, somewhat of an "approved spokesperson for Linda" since he is the moderator of the 3ABN forum on CA and checks things out with Linda as to their accuracy before saying them. But I think the point is that, as Johann stated, both Linda and the doctor have plainly stated that they do not have intentions of marrying each other. One thing confuses me in your statement above. about Danny bearing full responsibility "if she ends up in an adulterous marriage". Did you mean to say if she had --past tense-- married the doctor before Danny remarried? Since Danny has remarried now, how could Linda, who is still single, "end up" --future tense-- "in an adulterous marriage"? Thanks in advance for clarifying your thought on this. |

She is absolutely right according to what Jesus taught but most people overlook this. Divorce is NEVER recognized before the Creator because it is the death of a union. Even though you are divorced you are still married before the Creator. Jesus plainly said that if a man puts his wife away he causes her to commit adultery, unless he had divorced her because she had committed adultery. This passage has been erroneously interpreted to teach that the Creator approves of divorce if adultery occurred. All Christ was doing was clarifying who would be held responsible for the adultery. There is no such thing as acceptable divorce for biblical grounds. In other words, Danny bears responsibility for his adultery and for Linda's, should she remarry.

Since Danny put Linda away and it was not for marital infidelity her adultery will be his reponsibility. This is as plain as day. |

I guess, but this divorce has been hashed and rehashed and it is a dead horse, IMHO....
