I. EXPERIENCING EAST TEXAS MINISTRIES
YHWH’s Word stands alone, nothing should be added or subtracted from The Word Of God. This would include ego, intent, modern business practices, acceptable cultural norms, societal attitudes, national laws, and so forth. The slightest dilution of the truth will lead you into a lie. Truth must exist in absolute purity. In a manner of speaking, prayer, confession, and repentance resets the Truth to its state of purity.
It would be good to notice that YHWH seems to use an economy of motion in much of what is done. That is to say that one act will equate into multiple results. The ways of Man usually mean that a single action forms a single result. There are those that help and those that need help. It would be wise for both parties to remember that YHWH could be using one to help the other. This is based on my own observations and not necessarily on any stated Biblical principle.
This is a bad list and the ministries that made this list may have forgotten Who they serve. Through indifference or by intent, they worked against a child molester's victim. They can not claim ignorance because they did have knowledge of that person's situation. Some on this list had manipulated the person in order to suit their own gain. Some on this list thought that they had got away with something. Compiling this list was not a fond endeavor. Truth bares its light.
If everyone had been doing what they should have been doing, then none of this would never be. The trip to East Texas was supposed to last for about three days. My family pulls their criminal mess and then I was passed off to the local ministries. One does not expect things to go from bad to worse until one realizes that they are in unstable hands. Arrogance and ignorance usually collide to form bad decisions. Hypocrisy takes us beyond selfish and stupid. It was foolish of me to place anything in the hands of my family and the local ministries. In so doing, I have lost absolutely everything. To those that may disagree, ask if Jesus would have used your intent to form the actions that were administered to my situation? I do not think that Jesus would have made things go from bad to worse.
Let this be a warning. Please do not come to Anderson County. Please do not give money to these ministries and churches. Money should not be wasted upon a lie. I pray that no one else will experience what I have experienced. Life is more than mere existence and death may be better. I can honestly thank my family and the following ministries for making this the worst experience of my life. Our lives are to be a model of Christ and falling short is expected. However, to barely try and to get lost within the vanity of the world seems like blasphemy if this is done under the name of God. How often do we contribute to the rising number of atheists in the world?

III. THE MINISTRY LIST
1 CAMPUS OF HOPE in Conroe, Texas. Don Johnson.
2 REDEMPTION HOUSE Palestine, Texas.
(Part of BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY MINISTRIES)
David Devereax, Director
So much could have been saved if only he lived up to who and what he claimed to be.
Andy Brinks
It is honestly believed that he had been used. Most likely, he is guilty of misplaced trust and all things turn from there. However, who knows. It was not good to give David total control. He delivered good sermons.
All else is covered in X-RAY FAITH #1-6.
3 TRUE VINE DOXA CENTER Fairfield, Texas.
Reverend Mike Daniels.
Basically, Mike is another opportunist. One would wonder if he could be charged with possible human trafficking charges.
All else is covered in X-RAY FAITH #7.
4 DEE KRUSE & ANGIE
living at Lake Richland-Chambers, Texas.
(Affiliates or part of REDEMPTION HOUSE, PRISON MINISTRY)
Assisted by Brenda Finley. These gems are also on the site. This manipulator duo basically uses ex-cons as tools to manipulate. According to neighbors, they had borrowed money from their next door neighbors and never paid them back. Naturally, the neighbor was an injured firefighter. These women are in prison ministry.
All else is covered in X-RAY FAITH #8.
5 JEHOVAH WITNESS KINGDOM HALL Palestine, Texas.
Darrell Norman, Elder
He had asked Darrell to help him get a job and Darrell's reply was that he wanted to see him on the street. Darrell fulfills his request to his room mate. The room mate already had a job and a vehicle. Darrell then invites room mate to live on the compound. He spends a month with no heat, no food, no money, and no job. When questioned through text messages. Darrell denies all, tries to cover it up, then threatens to sue. That is funny, sue someone with no money. Darrell has the cowardice that accompanies manipulators. He is a sterling model of moral fortitude in preying upon the poor and desperate. Darrell lives a double life. Perverts are usually overwhelmed by power and that is what makes them perverted. No hypocrisy here. Send him your money.
6 FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Elkhart, Texas.
Jeffrey Craft, Pastor
In the dead of winter, he denies food and shelter to someone that had grown up in that church. He asked the pastor for help in dealing with the Dad. He was briefed on the matter. He wanted his Dad to talk to a minister and the pastor not only passed the buck, he also informed the Dad and sister of their conversation. You can not reconcile if the other party slanders and runs.
7 FREEDOM FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
in Palestine, Texas. Marty Bellone.
This is covered in X-RAY FAITH #9.
8 HOPE STATION in Palestine, Texas. Brandon Greene, Director
There was hope with Brandon, in fact, many good things had been heard. A number of things had been written that would seem beneficial for his use, such as 'Paradigms of Ministry Scams'. It was under the understanding that he was opening a homeless shelter along with a number of things to help the poor and homeless.
They first met at Whataburger one morning. He had been up all night on the laptop and he offered him a ride home. He needed medicine and having his storage paid and Brandon obliged. He had donated 79 articles of clothing, a number of crutches, and a few other items.
By his own admission, he does not listen. That would seem to be a detriment and this was proven correct. A bridge within his teeth had come out and he needed that placed back in. He also needed some lotion for my feet because they are in horrible shape. There were also some other toiletries required. He desperately needed a job because they are difficult to get when there is no phone, occasional food, and so forth. Couple this with a bad reputation from the gossip put out by a few prior ministries and the usual assumptions that form gossip. He had become a walking anathema. He did not give Brandon a resume because the information was taken over the phone. It is doubtful if Brandon remembered what was said. Eventually, one learns when you are being pacified.
It goes back to giving bandages instead of fixing the problem. There are also different stories concerning the purpose of Hope Station. He thought its purpose was what had originally stated. Now, it is not known. Nevertheless, he did get curious about the documentation, records, and oversight of the place. He has yet to find anything about this and other ministries and that is curious.
9 GLOBAL HEART INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES in Fairfield, Texas.
Bubba Rutherford, Brenda Finley
Their stuff seems minor by comparison, but they are mentioned in X-RAY FAITH #7 and #8.
10 EVANGELISTIC TEMPLE in Palestine, Texas.
They got him a room a few times and paid for a prescription, which is a good thing. They did not care for me running into a stranger and letting him have the other bed. He did not see the problem in letting another use what was not needed. No verbal clause had been presented. What would Jesus do? They did not pick him up from the motel on the second time he received a room.
He wanted someone to listen to the whole story. His problem did not fit the usual paradigm of going to this or that mission/halfway house/ whatever. He has become gun-shy about Christian anything. In essence, minor stuff.
11 Pastor Harold Fox in Palestine, Texas.
Harold did a lot. He picked him up at the motel when he was abandoned by the mad prophet. He took him to get the pick-up and the storage unit. Harold gave him motel rooms and money. Harold even went to talk to his Dad. It is doubtful if the point was made. He called him a few other times and then came to the conclusion that he bought his Dad's propaganda about being on drugs. Evidence means nothing. However, such human things are excusable. In truth, possibly 8, then 9, 10, & 11 I would not deem as bad ministries at all. I do wonder about including them here since it is surrounded by so many bad things.
12 Debbie Swift in Palestine, Texas.
He did not wish to place her on the list. Please note that only personal experiences are listed with her and all of these ministries. No rumor, gossip, and second-hand information is included. In essence, after being tossed aside by the ministries, he lived at a local fast-food place. In fact, that place and those people were amazing. He developed endemia while staying there and this was caused by the fast-food being combined with being unable to properly sleep in a horizontal position. One is more apt to sleep sitting down. It was not just her, but others knew I was there.
She did offer work and never followed through. He went to church with her and her family when she preached and he was referenced in the sermon. Maybe he is being too critical, who knows, he felt a bit used by this. He remains gun-shy about the churches. None of these folks seem to get that he has been seriously rattled. He has done nothing but lose everything since he has been here and that is supposed to make him happy? His situation should have been easy to fix. He had a stable employment and rental history. I had a good credit record. He is not lazy, he has ambition, university, no criminal record, and no addictions save cigarettes. It seems like he would be easy to fix.
In truth, possibly 8, then 9, 10, & 11 I would not deem as bad ministries at all. One does wonder about including them here since it is surrounded by so many bad things. They are included in the following lists simply because those matters are true. One comes to believe that the Matthew 18:15-30 is simply viewed as something antique and quaint. It is culture over-riding faith. That is not good.
