Justice, I think you got the wrong guy. No, I didn't do any begging. I got a job and went to work. No, I never saw any spankings at the outfit. No, I have never spanked a child. Yes, throughout my life I have been in my share of physical altercations with dudes and I usually win. Yes, on occasion through the years I did voice my disagreements with TA personally. No, he wasn't pleased. I didn't care as long as God was pleased. Yes, he brought up "smiting ", Yes, my mind said "make my day." Maybe those were not correct thoughts but, I know he would lose. No, there was no smiting and yes, he backed off on the smiting. Yes, I did meet Jesus on my knees at 1412 N. Crescent Hts. Blvd. Yes, it was a work of God. Yes, souls did get saved. Yes, I did win souls while living at the foundation. Yes, I did preach the Gospel and yes folks met Jesus. I was there for furthering the Gospel to the world. Maybe you and others can critisize me for that but, I will let God be the judge. Unfortunately, things changed at the foundation. One of the things I try to avoid (on the web) is namecalling or cussin.  (Saturday Dec 19 | post #42)

I am not sure if this could be called brainwashing. I remember as a member years ago when the "smiting " doctrine was initiated. I knew I would never allow myself to be smitten and of course if someone tried to smite me I would instantly become a self defense "smiter" . Where the others brainwashed? Did I just have a blessed measure of common sense? My view is everyone knew it was wrong. None were brainwashed. They (and we) had a concious decision to make. The current members chose to go along with false doctrine. Others (including myself) decided to end our membership with the outfit. And in some cases TA ended our membership. Regardless, everyone made a choice. No one made that choice for us. However subtle the doctines were introduced, there was still a decision. Those close to TA were the most informed. As I have mentioned previously, some made a decision to follow prestige instead of what is right and just. So, the question persists; What will happen now? Only God knows. Although I can make guesses. I just really don't know.  (Friday Dec 18 | post #39)

DHS Seeks to End Parental Rights of Two

Larry Fryer in hell??!! Wow It seems you are judging and that isn't scriptual. I do remember the scripture.."J udge not". I heard a pastor once say "judging is saying somebody went to heaven or hell." You must understand that judgement is totally up to God. I knew Larry Fryer and he was a good brother in my opinion. I consider it a blessing to have known him.  (Monday Dec 14 | post #12)

They did just what you said. Amazing. Is it true no current foundation folks can post? Didn't Jesus set you free?  (Oct 31, 2009 | post #34)

Peanut time! This is great. Would any current member care to discuss anything? By the looks of the multiple peanuts, I would say you definately have an opinion. Why not post it? Of course I will have a few questions to ask. Feel free topost whatever is on your mind. Thanx, Jackspratt  (Oct 25, 2009 | post #28)

Ft Smith Teens Given Extension To Serve Kolbeck

It is difficult for me to believe this message is the entire doctrine of the current foundation. I know this was used from time to time during the old time foundation but, now it seems to me this is the only doctrine used (you are going to hell if you don't do this...or that). I know I have posted this before but, in the early 90's I personally heard Pastor Jack Hayford say, "I will never manipulate people with guilt." This was an epiphany for me. Did Jesus manipulate his apostles (or followers)with guilt? Didn't he say, "Come unto me ye that are heavy laden and I will give you rest"?  (Oct 10, 2009 | post #70)

The Ravening Wolf Speaks From His Cell

It is obvious to me the current foundation members are reading every word written here. "Tonyisinocce nt" or whatever your real name is, Let me see if I can be the voice of reason here. If you read what you wrote, you will notice it is attack based. You have brought attacks but, no explanation whatsoever. This seems a bit haughty (for lack of a better word) to me. Also, if you read any of tony's writings about the charges brought (yes, the jury convicted him), he only attacks. There is no expanation. Correct me if I am wrong but, from what I understand the prosecution had an audio tape of his phone conversation while in a federal jail that turned out to be strong evidence for the prosecution. Could you or any of the current foundation members please comment on that? You must realize at this point all the "persecution " is not due to the people living there. The persecution stemmed from one person's decision to become a polygamist in the 21st century. Unless you know something I don't, there was only only one polygamist in the foundation. So, the bottom line is you need to search your heart. Am I saying I am the holy or rightious? Of course not. What I am saying is you need to decide what you are going to do with the remainder of your life. Consider your options and post your thoughts.  (Oct 10, 2009 | post #89)

The Ravening Wolf Speaks From His Cell

I think the real issue here is; There has been no explanation from Tony. At least none that I know of. If you read any of his writing, you will notice that it is all attacks. No explanations, just attacks. All current foundation members should critically read all of Tony's writings. It will be clear to you there really is no explanation from Tony, only attacks.  (Oct 1, 2009 | post #61)

Alamo Could Use a Prison Consultant

Why are those old timers still living there? The only reason I can think of is they are told if they leave or speak the truth, they will go to hell. Think about this; Did anyone go to hell for speaking the truth? That's right nobody goes to hell for speaking the truth. Now you current foundation people need to consider your options. If you leave and need help, I am sure there are quite a few folks on this board that will help you. Think of it this way; you will never experience tony (or his assistants) berate or yell at you again. That benefit in itself would make it worthwhile. However there is much more for you. Personally I think God wants to bless you with freedom. Just my opinion.  (Jul 31, 2009 | post #9)

Parents' Role in Alamo Case is a Tricky Question

I am not sure what to think about people that gave up their daughters fearing tony would jerk the rug out from under them. When I had my disagreement with tony 20 years ago, I could have cared less about the consequences. As you could imagine I was given a ride out of the outfit. Money? Well I had fifty dollars tony gave me. After 18 years of service you gotta get something. A place to go and live? Nope. The only place I had to go was "Outside. " I tell you one thing I did have; "dignity. " Wake up current foundation folks. I am not your judge (neither is tony). However if you really have some dignity; it is time to pack up and leave. After the trial, how effective will you be as a Christian? Most of your time will be spent explaining tony.  (Jul 30, 2009 | post #7)

Girl Feared Punishment for Using Phone

Free at last, This kinda confirms what I thought. The only people in the foundation that really know what is going on is the old timers. The other people only know what they are told. Tommy, You must realize the only tactic the foundation has is; namecalling and attacks. When they do either (or both) just ask them to discuss the issues. Or perhaps to give you a detailed explanation why they believe what they do. As you pointed out tony has ackowledged some of his own actions. Also in this article: http://ap.onlineat hens.com/pstories/ us/20090717/465176 562.shtml This part seemed noteworthy: "Defense lawyers have largely left the sex and underage marriage claims unchallenged" It seems a little odd to me that this issue was not challenged by the defense attorney. Buzz, Could you comment on that?  (Jul 23, 2009 | post #33)
