BlackSDA is now the largest hotbed in the area of rumors, innuendo, speculation and just plain gossip about the on goings at 3ABN.

We will interrupt “The Televangelist” and return to a previous post, that has now become “present truth”...
To summarize “A Teaser or Previews of Coming Attractions...”, we began with the scorecard, upon which only four of the five starting lineup were listed: 1. Danny Lee Shelton, still remains #1 Information from a reliable source suggests pressure has been placed upon Danny to “publically” stand down, but that doesn’t mean that he will let loose of the strings that control his ministry. Why give away the “goose that lays the golden eggs”. It is so easy to fool the donors... 2. Mollie Sue Steenson She remains Danny’s right hand and his “oracle of truth”. Mollie/Truth? That has the distinct scent of an oxymoron. She has already demonstrated her loyalty as Danny’s “muscle”: intimidation and lies are the staple of this enforcer and she will continue to hold her boss’ line. 3. Hal Steenson Hal, a charismatic preacher, skillfully maneuvering the donors into turning cartwheels as he charms them with his “good old boy” southern humor and homespun wisdom. Like a master magician, Hal’s verbal sight of hand is so persuasive that you could almost believe him...fortunately, we’ve revealed what lies behind the smoke and mirrors. 4. Dr. Walt Thompson 3ABN Defender, twisting the truth, as long as it is for the “good of the ministry” and if twisting does not suffice, than spreading Danny’s falsehoods, “to save the ministry” is no longer a breach of his conscience. 5. To be announced... As every basketball afficionado knows, there are always five players in the starting lineup. So who will now show up on center court? Looking toward the sidelines we see a middle-aged woman, her short blond hair bouncing in unison with her feet as she bounds onto the floor, smile flashing at the crowd, she takes her place standing to the left of Danny. Mollie gives her a knowing look, a reminder that Mollie retains her position on Danny’s right. Who is this woman who sits upon Danny’s knee? And why was she chosen to be Charlie McCarthy to Danny’s Edger Bergen. For those of you below the age of seventy, which includes me, this last sentence might require an explanation: Edger Bergen was a very famous ventriloquist and Charlie McCarthy was the wooden dummy that sat upon his knee. An envelope is passed to my hands, the contents of which are a well guarded secret. Will the next public face of 3ABN please stand up. Shelly Quinn, with a blush on her cheeks and a smile on her lips, leaps up and runs to the podium to accept her reward. She starts to speak, but I hear a familiar voice and ideas emanating from her lips. Is this nothing more than another ruse? As the world looks at the undefiled image of Shelly Quinn before them, in reality it is actually Danny Shelton, sitting on a chair with a wooden dummy on his lap, whose lips he manipulates as he remains in control of the empire that he has built. Has Shelly Quinn bought into the lordship of Danny Shelton? Or was the on air fame and financial remuneration from the royalties with the publication of over five million copies of The Ten Commandments, Twice Removed enough of an incentive? We listen in as she writes her speech defending the ministry from the “attacks of Satan” that it has recently received, and how Danny has graciously stepped down to save the ministry he loves from the falsehoods that have been hurled upon him by pathological liars. Or on closer inspection is this only an artfully executed illusion, attempting to deceive the donors, in order that the rivers of money will again stream into the coffers of Danny Shelton/3ABN? Returning to the bench, the 3ABN team discuss their strategy with the Coach, Danny’s “secret” benefactor. The stakes are high and as the opposing team is introduced, Danny eyes them with obvious contempt. Who is this rag tag team of amateurs, who dare to act in opposition to “god’s chosen and anointed man”? Danny rubs his eyes, there appears to be a mist that shrouds their identities. One of the players is almost completely obscured to him, all he can “see” is what appears to be the figure of a woman. Her back is turned to him, but her words demonstrate a degree of knowledge that makes him eager to know her true identity. Then he could set about destroying her reputation though the spreading of falsehoods and discredit her utterances that have revealed too much of the private conduct that he has keep hidden from public view for so long. This has been a glimpse into the present and plans for the near future at 3ABN, watch and wait as the story unfolds further before your eyes...

For anyone with firsthand knowledge...in your estimation, would you say that leadership at 3ABN is deceived -- thinking they are somehow on a higher plain than the rest of us etc...and do they believe they are doing God's work, or do they know full well what they are doing and don't care?
Also, I'd like to chime in with gracetoyou and say that if some of the things mentioned here are so, there are some little girls in possible danger and shouldn't something be done quite quickly? -------------------- Shelley

While I can't lay claim to first hand "knowledge", from my "bird's eye view" and knowledge of human nature, I would say that the answer is "yes". One or another or a mixture of all possibilities you have mentioned. Different combinations in different persons. It is hard to see how anyone could be on site and not be aware of at least some of the unsavory things that are going on. But there is no deception quite so serious as self-deception. And each time one turns a blind eye to something wrong, the cataracts on the eyes of the soul grow a little denser, until finally one can live in the midst of evil and even partake of it and yet see nothing wrong. QUOTE Also, I'd like to chime in with gracetoyou and say that if some of the things mentioned here are so, there are some little girls in possible danger and shouldn't something be done quite quickly? Maybe there already has been something done. Warnings. Special watchcare. Maybe even moving them out of harms way. Reminds me. Two distant cousins of mine. Never slept in their own room at night. They'd take their pillows and blankets, climb out the window, and make a little nest for the night in the haymow out in the barn. They moved away and lived with an aunt when they were about 14 or so. It's not a problem exclusive to this generation, you know. Hard to comprehend though. Pure love between father and daughter is such a precious thing to those of us who have known it. Makes one's heart ache for those who have known something else. |
