My wife monitors several forums regularly and there have been wisps of smoke coming from the 3abn camp. R/S now has a letter and an interesting tale about "The televangelist" that seems to parody what has been reported from their camp over the last few months. It sounds way too much like Danny Shelton is setting himself up like EGW and Jim Baker, above the law and the people. www.revivalsermons.org/forums/index.php?topic=1206.0 http://www.revivalsermons.org/forums/index.php?topic=1207.0

Goldenbear, Wow! Thanks for posting that. Just a small excerpt from the letter here: "Linda was living in an impossible situation. Danny was "in her face" on a regular basis. At times he would say, "If you don't say you're a pathological liar, the marriage and 3ABN is over. If you don't say you're an adulterous woman the marriage and 3ABN is over for you. If you don't say you've given your heart to another man and that he is a demon the marriage and 3ABN is over..... etc." It even reached the point when he demanded her to ay "Repeat after me." Johann and I received a couple emails, which said they were from Linda, but they were written by Danny. Linda saw her ministry being destroyed one day at a time. All of this was dehumanizing and terrifying to Linda, who was trying to hold things together." I have long believed that there is no differnce between Danny Shelton of 3ABN and Paul Crouch of TBN. They are both charlatans and frauds in the turbulent world of televangelism. Jim Baker was a fraud as well. Many false prophets have gone out into the world. The question is whether O'Ffill will have those posts removed. Very interesting... Stan |

That letter referred to above is one written by the medical doctor who was accused of having an affair with Linda Shelton. This excerpt is from the first part of the letter: June 20, 2006 Greetings from Norway; My name is Dr. Arild Abrahamsen. I live in Svindal, Norway. I have been a medical doctor for more than 35 years. I am a member of the Moss SDA Church. I've been the Sabbath School Superintendent for 14 years and the head elder for 4 years, which position I am presently serving. I am the Norwegian doctor who has been slandered by Dr. Walt Thompson, chairman of the board of 3ABN, Danny Shelton, John Lomacang and others. Since I have observed the situation and the slander only getting worse, I feel it best to share my experience. I share my personal experience, what I have seen and heard. Much of this information has been verified by other sources, which include emails, letters and the personal experiences of others. I share my experience not to attack any ndividual or organization, but to bring the truth of this situation to the surface. I have been shocked to observe the events of the last two years. I have made no public statement until now. I had hoped things would resolve themselves. I visited Johann and Irmgard Thorvaldsson at 3ABN the last week of 2003. The purpose of the trip was to see them and visit the ministry, which I personally had been supporting for some time. I had never been to 3ABN previously, nor had I met the Shelton's. During this visit I discovered from the Thorvaldsson's that Linda Shelton's son, Nathan, was in a dangerous state of health because of an addiction to drugs and working in coalmines. I offered to see him. This visit resulted in an invitation for Nathan to come to Norway for treatments. Nathan came to Norway around January 20, 2004 along with his friend, Dava Vice. Linda came for a 3-‡ day visit to support her son, the first week of February together with Brenda Walsh. This was the last time I saw Linda until the weekend she was fired." If this story can be verified or corroborated, 3ABN may be in for some real trouble. We will see. Stan |

Zjason and Flyinglady, I made a pdf file of the letter (letter from the doctor) and the comments attached to it if you want me to send it to you. I saved it for future referrence since I just didn't believe that it would remain online. Send me an email and I'll send it to you if interested. Richard rtruitt@mac.com

Zjason and Flyinglady I just checked and realize I also have the document "Televangelist" as well. It is long and I'll be honest I haven't read it completely. Richard Rtruitt@mac.com

WOW, I was unaware of the problem with the Shelton's. Man, I knew 3ABN was having some problems awhile back, but didn't know of these dirty little ones. If ti weren't for the production work done at the GC I would bet that the GC would have tried to keep this quiet. |
