Unless there are arrests, NO ONE except those involved will know the results. And I sincerely doubt and hope there are NO arrests in this case. <br /><br />I know a lot of people are wanting blood, more action and such. I only want the truth. But there has been much good to come out of it. Several victims from other abusers from other churches have come forward and are seeking help and they are presently Bellevue members Now Saints: we should all rejoice it that! That always happens when an abuse case becomes public. That is why I speak out as I do. That is to let other victims know there is help.<br /><br />Now these hurting and wounded saints can go from being a victim to being a survivor. They no longer have to hide their hurt and shame in secret. Praise the Lord! HE is on the Throne. We do not serve a God of accidents, we serve a God of Purpose. It is for HIS Purpose. Nothing else. <br /><br />Please join me in prayer for all that have come forward and for those thinking about it. Also please be in prayer for all those that post on here. Much prayer is needed.<br /><br />I love you all and to HIM be all the Glory and Praise!!!!!<br /><br />David Brown<br />SNAP coordinator of West Tennessee and MemphisDavid Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617994693909155803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-42634891541422437622007-02-01T09:52:00.000-06:002007-02-01T09:52:00.000-06:00testtestoverflowinggracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216811418395281508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-23910445528924743492007-02-01T09:45:00.000-06:002007-02-01T09:45:00.000-06:00Thanks David,

And what was done to NASS on this board. <br /><br />There are instances that IP addresses have been traced for threats. I think everyone posting here should be aware that asking for transparancy and truth from leaders you pay with your tithe dollars is a far cry from threatening to dig dirt on IDC. Some of that dirt was published here last night in generic form. <br /><br />This is exactly what the Clinton Administration did to those who asked too many questions and demanded accountability.Anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847412939105023841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-11499186169231012792007-02-01T09:37:00.000-06:002007-02-01T09:37:00.000-06:00Dear brother and sisters: I am so saddened to see...Dear brother and sisters: I am so saddened to see these attacks and threats from the last few days but mainly yesterday. I was in touch with the DA's office helping this new victim when I read some of the threats. I told them about it and have asked that they review them. They are. I understand that some of you have received some very threatening emails. Would you please send me copies? I will forward them on to the proper authorities. <br /><br />NASS I would ask that as untasteful as it may be you leave the posts of ACE up at least for the time being. <br /><br />It is ok to aruge and disagree but when you step over and make personal threats as some of you have, that may very well border on criminal activity. And for those so stupid enough to email threats, your IP address can be traced. I don't care who you are using.<br /><br />If any of you want to take your shots at me instead, I welcome it. I have been through that meat grinder when my story was publish in 2005 and I am still here. <br /><br />Please ALL of us, let's consider our tongue. Much has been said in Scripture about it. You may call it typing but it is the tongue that is directing it. <br /><br />I love you all and it hurts to see the kind of things I have seen the last few days. We are after all fellow believers and saints in His wonderful Body. We must act it. Please. <br /><br />David Brown<br />SNAP coordinatior of West Tennessee and MemphisDavid Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617994693909155803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-16508426362108467112007-02-01T09:36:00.000-06:002007-02-01T09:36:00.000-06:00From the Cult of Do Not Judge:
"There has been a ...From the Cult of Do Not Judge:<br /><br />"There has been a trend going on for a number of years that has dulled the spiritual senses of the church and leavened the convictions of many a Christian. It has risen to new heights as of late where if anyone has anything to say about another they are told, “Don't judge, “touch not my anointed” “do my prophets no harm” etc. Maybe if some of the people that quote these verses would look at what they actually say “in context,” they wouldn't have such flawed arguments, they would not find themselves becoming entangled emotionally. Its not just finding a few words to prove a position, but what do they mean in the Scripture in its context and can they apply to us today.<br /><br />What is ironic is that to tell people they are judgmental is to judge them. What people are doing is recommending for us not to judge by the word of God, but dispense with any discernment, just like they do it.<br /><br />What they argue is just don't test it, or don't say this because I know such and such for years and they are doing great things for God. That's judging isn't it? And it is done by appearance. Then when this does not work they will respond by calling names and threatening people using Bible cliché's as “don't judge” “don't touch God's anointed,” “do my prophets no harm,” etc., all taken out of context. If they were to think biblically they would realize we are all anointed, not just some, and to come against another brother or sister that is trying to obey Scripture means they too are coming against God's anointed. Everyone in the body of Christ is anointed; nonetheless what someone teaches is to be tested. How do we know this? Paul commended the Thessalonians for doing so, even when it was Paul himself that was being examined by Scripture (Acts 17:11).That is a right Spirit.<br /><br />So many have been indoctrinated into the constraint of don't say anything against another no matter how far off they are. Let God will deal with them. If this were true, then why are we given all the commands in Scripture to judge? Why all the warnings that deception and falsehood will permeate the Church in the end and we are to be on guard? We are told to deal with it and not allow it to continue. It's not to say that we make mountains out of molehills, but some are already mountains that need to be moved.<br /><br /> So lets speak to the mountain, speak to those who congregate at the foot of it and tell them.<br />Protectors of false teachers will say Jesus said, “not to Judge,” quoting Matthew 7:1, therefore that we cannot “judge.” At first glance it appears that Jesus does forbid judging, but lets continue to read the passage. Matthew 7:1-5: “Judge not, that you be not judged.” For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?” Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.”<br /><br /><br />In other words you can judge as along as you are not doing the same thing. If you want to help another and have taken care of yourself in this area, then you are able to see and operate on your brother. Jesus does not say don't operate under any circumstances, but allows us to remove the speck when we can see. But Jesus goes on and says in v:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” What He is saying is that we need to make sure whom we are engaged with. <br /><br />When you try to correct someone with the Holy Word and they are haters of truth they will not receive the pearls and will turn on you. So we are to weigh out whom we give the Word of God out to."<br /><br />So Scripturally, if you have been protecting a pedophile while at the same time critisizing Gaines, you are wrong and should not judge him until you take that log out of your eye.Anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847412939105023841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-62553366417339786042007-02-01T09:32:00.000-06:002007-02-01T09:32:00.000-06:00I am curious.

That was when you sealed me forever with your Holy Spirit. You also wrote my name forever in the Book of Life. I have been a new man with a new nature ever since then. I even started tithing (but I did it anonymously). Ever since then I have grown to be more like your Son. I wish that I could say that I had always been totally 100% filled with your Holy Spirit ever since then, but I can not. <br /><br />You have said to always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that I have. That reason is that your only Son died for my sins at Calvary. He returned from the grave three days later. Not even death had power over my savior. <br /><br /><br />Father, <br /><br />You've given me the opportunity to visit, among other places: New York, London, Paris, Athens, Jersualem, Moscow, Bombay, Beijing, Honolulu, and Los Angeles.<br /><br />Father,<br /><br />It it with total truth that I can speak to anyone and say that Memphis, TN loves your Son, Jesus Christ, better than any of these places.<br /><br />Father,<br /><br />In my humble opinion:<br /><br /><br />Memphis, TN...<br /><br /><br />...is ****the best city on earth****.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Please let the Great Commission move forward today in Brunei.

It is really pretty right now though. <br />I want to apologize for the typos in my last post. Trugh should be Truth.<br /><br />Thank you Esther for continuing to cause me to think more and thirst for God's Word more than ever before. <br /><br />I want to say growing up I was abused mentally, emotionally, and physically. That is my past and it has definitely affected my present. My husband has been very supportive in this but it is hard to deal with and get over(that seems to be the attitude of some) As I continue to deal with TRUTH, I know that God is able to carry me through this. Pray for me please. I need them. <br /><br />I just wish that some who come to this blog could grasp hold of the fact that for the most part the ones who are asking questions and wanting the truth, aren't out to destroy anyone. And yes ALL of this could have been avoided with Godly leadership who put truth and integrity first. Yes they are men who are human and make mistakes, but with age, education, and maturity those mistakes should not happen and continue to happen. <br /><br />This is my opinion but I think the leadership has destroyed themselves. They have NO credibility. <br /><br />I love the Lord more than ever before. If nothing else, what is happening at BBC has made me look at my own church a little differently. It has also caused me to look inside myself. To see that the devil is alive and well. But to remember that he is a defeated foe. <br /><br />GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN he THAT IS IN THE WORLD.<br /><br />I am sorry if this seems like rambling but I just wanted to share from my heart.<br />Tammynanasboys3https://www.blogger.com/profile/05007181245612589651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36564514.post-62687584748493924442007-02-01T08:15:00.000-06:002007-02-01T08:15:00.000-06:00Some were mentioning the Children Servcies report....Some were mentioning the Children Servcies report... I hate to tell you this, but DCS does not make their reports public. All they will publically report is that their investigation has been completed. They do send letters to those who were investigated, to let them know their findings, but that's about it. If charges are filed, there may be some news, but don't expect much to be made public from DCS.
