An attack upon the life of Linda Shelton has taken place. The house where she was staying, in Florida, was broken into and damaged. The police were notified and investigated the break-in. Both the front door and one of the windows were damaged. There was also damage within the house. The house was dusted for finger prints. The police are taking this situation very seriously.
It appears that the reason behind the crime was not theft. It was actually an attempt upon Linda’s life. She was poisoned with a combination of substances including arsenic. She is currently under the care of a physician and her treatment and its cause are being documented. The police in Florida will receive a copy of all medical information. This incident has been ruled out as accidental and clearly appears to give proof of attempted murder. Without medical intervention the result could have been death.
On Linda’s behalf, I solicit your prayers for her recovery and protection.

One wonders who is behind that? Any SDA?
-
There is only one person who would benefit from Linda's death---both financially and by stopping the publication of her autobiography, which is not yet completed. That person is a Seventh-day Adventist. Is this person capable of hiring thugs to do the actual deeds? I believe so...

Sister, is there anything about this in the local news where it occurred?
I'm sorry to hear this. I will certainly be praying for her to make a full recovery and for justice to be done.

Sounds mighty serious!

I have received information that a second attempt was made yesterday, at another location where Linda had fled for safety. The individual orchestrating these attacks upon Linda has become desperate and has much to gain from permanently silencing her. I am not at liberty to give more details, other than to confirm that again the means of choice was poison. Linda is a great believer in the power of intercessory prayer and requests your intercession upon her behalf. This is a very serious situation. Personally, I am praying for her healing physically, protection spiritually and that the Lord will place a hedge of angels around her. At this point prayer, faith in the Lord and publically sharing information concerning this situation is her only defense. Please uplift Linda in prayer and ask your local SDA community to join you in this intercessory campaign to bind evil and seek protection. I believe the Lord still has a work for Linda to do on this earth and that the Devil is using a wolf in sheep’s clothing to attempt to silence her permanently.

Was the 2nd attempt done by somebody she knows?
-
You probably can't answer my question, however, by the wording of the 2nd attempt, that seems to be the case.
-
Apparently, the missing transcript isn't so missing anymore!!! The amazing thing is, it is way too tame to justify these tactics!!! But, desperation has it's extremes...may JUSTICE prevail...a man of aged wisdom frequently tells me, as we compare notes on so many issues: "Gailon, now you know why we need a thousand years...!!!"
Get the book published!!!!

I am limited in what I can say, but I would not dispute your conclusion. If the question is, "Was the 2nd attempt, as well as the first attempt ordered from the same source.

I could do some surmising, but decided at this point in time to simply pray for her protection and that whoever is responsible for this, be it one or more individuals, be caught and prosecuted.

Thug. It is not a term I am accustomed to using in conversation. It is defined as, “a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer”. Not a topic that is usually discussed in the Adventist community. For Linda, being a victim of thuggery has become a way of life since her divorce from Danny. She moved from the area where 3ABN was located because she felt her safety was in question. Her daughter lived in Springfield, so Linda moved there to be closer to her. She purchased a home thinking she could have a fresh start in a place where she could feel safe. Unfortunately, that would not be the case.
From the very beginning of her move to Springfield, Linda found her life again in jeopardy. She contacted the police on a number of occasions. They would come and investigate, confirming the crimes that were committed. Finally one officer took her aside and suggested she purchase a gun for her own protection.
Linda describes the reason she left Springfield, “I sold my home in Springfield because of the stalking, the break-ins, the damage to my home, the thefts and the harassment. When people are apparently hired to do this, there is no boundaries as to what they might do. I cannot tell you the “hell” I have lived in because of all of this. Nothing I have had was private or personal. My phones are bugged. My computer has been compromised. My car has been followed.”
Linda has lived in this “hell” for nearly ten years. She left Illinois hoping that with the change of location, she would find safety and security. That was not the case. Instead, it escalated.

Is there any media news regarding this?

Is there any media news regarding this?
No. When the average person is stalked, had their homes broken into, petty theft, harressed,etc. it does not make the news. If it happens to a movie star, then it is news. For the rest of us, we are not news worthy individually. Read your local newspaper or watch your local tv news program. How many reports have you heard concerning a particular stalking victim in your area? Probably none. Unless they have been murdered.
The following information comes from The National Center for Victims of Crime:
http://www.victimsofcrime.org/docs/src/stalking-fact-sheet_english.pdf?sfvrsn=4 (http://www.victimsofcrime.org/docs/src/stalking-fact-sheet_english.pdf?sfvrsn=4)
STALKING VICTIMIZATION
6.6 million people are stalked in one year in the United States
1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men have experienced stalking victimization at some point during their lifetime in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.
The majority of stalking victims are stalked by someone they know.
46% of stalking victims experience at least one unwanted contact per week.
11% of stalking victims have been stalked for 5 years or more.
STALKING AND INTIMATE PARTNER FEMICIDE
54% of femicide (women)victims reported stalking to police before they were killed by their stalkers.
IMPACT OF STALKING ON VICTIMS
46% of stalking victims fear not knowing what will happen next.
29% of stalking victims fear the stalking will never stop.
1 in 7 stalking victims move as a result of their victimization.
The prevalence of anxiety, insomnia, social dysfunction, and severe depression is much higher among stalking victims than the general population, especially if the stalking involves being followed or having one’s property destroyed.
-
Isn't two attempted murders also newsworthy?
-
Isn't two attempted murders also newsworthy?
The first attempted murder was not reported at the same time as the break-in. Medical records will be sent to the police in Florida. The second attempt has taken place in another country. So many crimes, including murder are committed and never make it into the news.

We Adventists, as a group, appear to be very naive regarding the actions that another church member is capable of taking. We think because someone goes to church regularly, holds a responsible leadership role or is even the head of a ministry; the assumption can be made that their motives and actions are pure. Unfortunately that is not always the case. We live in the time of the church of Laodicea. The wheat grows together with the tares. There are wolves in sheep clothing. Public image and private actions can totally contradict one another.
There are plenty of thugs available. An SDA, who is willing to have some one stalked and finally murdered, would have no trouble finding someone to do the job. And it probably costs much less than we would imagine. Battle Creek, this is a wicked world.
Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:21-23

It takes a lot of surveillance to attempt to cover one's tracks. Danny once told me that his friend, Garvin McNeilus would never desert him, regardless of what he'd do. He claimed that is true friendship. Danny also told me that Garvin would pay for Private Investigators as long as Linda is alive. What does he need that for since he divorced her?

In preparation for Linda’s forth coming book, Johann Thorvaldsson shared the following recollections. These incidents took place during the time of the 2004 3ABN camp meeting. Johann and Arild Abrahamsen (the Norwegian doctor who treated Linda’s son) had traveled together and were staying together in a hotel near 3ABN. The reason for their visit? To testify to the 3ABN board about the false accusations concerning Linda’s alleged infidelity. I will let Johann’s words speak for themself concerning Danny's use of surveillance.
Sister
Sabbath morning at breakfast I noticed a man at another table paying eager attention to all that Arild and I were doing. I had a notion who he was, but I did not quite realize how well he was doing his job. Since we were close to Carbondale we decided to take a look at the place where Danny planned on keeping his wife in seclusion until the divorce was finished.
Of course Arild knew about the false accusations about an affair with Linda, and that Danny was using this as an excuse to get rid of Linda. So Arild promised Linda he would go anywhere to testify in her behalf to save her marriage. And since I was present and could account for what I knew happened, I was to come along. So we were there because of Linda.
Linda had no objections to us taking a ride to Springfield, where she was staying with her daughter, since we were not allowed to attend the 3ABN camp meeting at Thompsonville. It was a nice sunny Sabbath afternoon, so why not take a walk together in the Abraham Lincoln Park? As we walked through the park named after this President I was reminded of his biography I read already when I was a child. I thought of this great lawyer in Springfield who was always ready to help the underdog. How would he have helped Linda? Danny had seen to it that hardly any friend of hers dared say a word in her behalf. She had hardly anyone to help her against this Adventist bastion which was crushing her. Someone had to do it, but why were we among the few? Did no one else have the courage? Did everyone else fear for his life against the mighty Danny Shelton. Before long we would also feel the crush of Danny’s anger.
Linda heard her cell phone ringing. Yes, it was her husband. Did he want to help his wife? Was he finally coming to her aid? No. He had a different motive.
Danny told Linda where she was, right there in the Abraham Lincoln Park in Springfield, and he told her what dress she was wearing. He told her he already had pictures of her walk there together with Arild Abrahamsen. He had to admit that Johann Thorvaldsson was there too. Now we knew why a car had been parked half hidden between the trees close to our car. It was used to spy on Linda with cameras and electronic equipment to transmit pictures and information to Danny Shelton. They had been hiding behind trees and bushes as they trailed us around the park.
We realized Danny had told us the truth when he indicated that a wealthy friend of his had promised him he would provide secret spies trailing Linda for the rest of her life, if that was his desire. Danny was proud of giving us the proof, and he confirmed it also in an e-mail to me. I questioned why in the world he wanted such surveillance if it was his attention to save his marriage? Normally such is only done if one wants to get evidence for a divorce, and that seemed to be just what Danny wanted - a divorce, and nothing else, in spite of how he tried to hide it by his request for prayer of Mark Finlay for her return at the camp meeting we had attended.
.
When I confronted Danny with this in my e-mail to him, he partly evaded the question in his responses, and yet he told me that since God could use murderers and other evil men like Moses and David, then God could also use him in spite of his faults. So was he just counting on mercy and forgiveness to provide a way of escape for his treatment of Linda?
There was a lot of work to be done after sundown. Linda had some of her material to be sent to the board ready, since she was not allowed to attend the meeting in person, but not all of it. She suddenly discovered that her laptop was not functioning as it should, so what could she do? It so happened that I had in my case a CD with a backup word processor which could be transferred to Linda's laptop, but it was time consuming. Several hours passed by. Her document had to be sent by e-mail to a recipient at 3ABN, printed out and distributed to each of the members of the board of directors who had their meeting where the dismissal of Linda weighed heavy on the agenda. We were prevented from appearing in person because Danny threatened to have us arrested if we showed up.
Later Dr. Walter Thompson claimed that we could have come if we had insisted. It was kind of late to find that out. We trusted that the document provided by Linda would make the difference. Instead Danny used his documents, according to what he told me later. He had pictures that could easily be modified, taken of Linda together with Arild which did not show that we were three together. Some were taken at night as Arild was coming out of the building in the early hours of morning without showing that I was there too, and that it had taken us this long to get Linda's laptop ready to process the documents required for the board meeting.
When I presented these facts to a friend who was on the 3ABN board he quietly dismissed himself as a member.
While riding in Linda's car I noticed a car following us on the freeway, so Linda slowed down and almost stopped. That car passed and we saw it disappearing on the next exit. Then Linda's cell phone rang, and again it was Danny telling us how smart his spies were. Even though one had to leave the freeway for a while, he told us, there were two others farther behind who would keep trailing us.

Linda Shelton used four bottles of activated charcoal to save her life from the arsenic poison. I understand the Florida police regard this as a major crime and show great concern. Seems like they have a major suspect since there would not be many people interested in taking her life.

I can confirm that her case is no longer considered as only breaking and entering and has been turned over to the Major Crimes section of the police department. There has been another attempt to poison her.
Everyone, please get the information out about the attacks on Linda Shelton's life and ask everyone you know to support her in prayer.

I, too, can confirm that the incident has been quickly escalated within Citrus County law enforcement.

FYI Sister, because of the litigation, we kept an entire navigable archive of 3ABN-related postings at BlackSDA, ClubAdventist, MaritimeSDA, and a few others.
As far as who pays for what, seems I remember that many thought McKee was footing the bill for the jet, but then Gailon at some point believed that to be false information. Our understanding was that Garwin, Stan Smith, and May Chung resigned in protest when Danny was not voted off the board in May 2008. Would he be paying for any such thing today?

A third attempt? How does anyone attempt to poison the same person three times in such a short time, if they are reasonably independent? Can you share anything more?

Bob, under the circumstances it is not wise for me to say too much. People can be exposed to arsenic by inhaling it, by consuming contaminated foods, water, or beverages, or by skin contact. For instance, you have a favorite pair of sneakers that you wear without socks. All someone would need to do is go into your closet when no one is there, sufficently contaminate the inside of only one of your shoes with arsenic. The next day you go on an outing for a number of hours wearing those sneakers. The result, poisoning.
-
So Sister, are you saying that multiple doses of poison which have been administered to a victim could be the result of one break in during which more than one item was contaminated?
-
So Sister, are you saying that multiple doses of poison which have been administered to a victim could be the result of one break in during which more than one item was contaminated?
No. There were at least two break-ins. At two different locations. There were more than one means used for transfering the poison to Linda. Remember: People can be exposed to arsenic by inhaling it, by consuming contaminated foods, water, or beverages, or by skin contact. I am not in a position to confirm publically by which means the arsenic was administrated.

That is a possibility, child of the king. Thank God her life was spared.

I started a thread about this over at Maritime, however, I haven't noticed any threads about this at any of the other forums, except for the pro DS forum, and this is what they posted over there:
There is no one from 3ABN, including Danny who has any interest to do any kind of harm to Linda Shelton and she knows it and the rest of you know it. It has been ten years people since the split, wake up.
And you can be sure that 3ABN is glad Linda is okay and hopes it doesn't happen again.
Since the poisoning took place at Arild's home in Florida, perhaps the first suspect should be Arild himself. He and LS have been together for the last several years, and Arild would have easy access to poisons. The fact that the poisoning followed Linda to Norway seems to make Arild even more suspect. Linda should watch him carefully in my opinion. How do you know that Arild didn't hire someone to do this and is telling him where LS is.
LS needs to get away from Arild in my opinion.
I am serious.

What does Arild have to gain from Linda's death? Nothing. There is no motive. I read this to Arild on the telephone. We had a good laugh over it.
An interesting fact: No one here mentioned Linda being poisoned in Norway. Where did they get that information, not from Linda, not from here. There is another possibility :oops: the person behind the attempts on Linda's life.
-
When you posted that she had fled to another country, I figured it was Norway because she had friends there. This poster could have just made that assumption too.
So was she really at Arild's home in Florida? Are they living together?
-

It seemed like a very detailed theory, for only being based upon an assumption. If by living together you mean sharing a bed, living together as husband and wife without being married. The answer is NO. Does Arild own investment property in Florida. Yes. Like most investment property, he does not live there. If he prefers having someone he knows living there rather than renting it to a stranger then he and Linda both benefit from the situation.
-
Thank you for the quick reply. That makes sense.
This whole thing is so bizarre!
Wouldn't the person who is doing this know that they could not get away with it? But then I guess criminals always think they can commit the perfect crime and never be found out. It seems to me that trying the same thing three times so close together is a sure way to be found out.
Our church is praying for Linda.

Linda has had to live in fear now for the past 10 years.
It appears important to someone that Linda does not survive the final court case in connection with her divorce. If she is no longer alive the court case will be dismissed and nobody gets Linda's share.

Linda Shelton just posted the following on Facebook:
Hello Dear Friends & Family,
I would like to share with you an urgent prayer request, and also some background information to this prayer request. The last couple of weeks have been tragic, to say the least. A number of attempts were made to take my life through poisoning. As a result I was confirmed by a medical doctor to have life threatening amounts of arsenic, aphrodisiacs and radiation in my body.
About 10 years ago my world came crashing down when my husband falsely accused me of spiritual adultery and adultery. These terms have devastating effects to anyone in ministry, as I was, and it caused a major scandal in the Church. The Bylaws of our corporation allowed him, as President of 3ABN, to hire and fire his Vice-Presidents for any or no reason. Almost immediately I was without "a voice" to counteract the lies which were being circulated about me, other than my website. Yet the TV, Radio, website, mailing list, prayer line, etc. were used to destroy my reputation. Claims were made that I had met with a small committee to the Board of Directors prior to this action. This is not true. I was fired by my husband without the ability to meet with any of the Board members.
When I pursued this opportunity, I was directed to the 3ABN attorney.
Strangely, Dan said to me, "They said they will follow you the rest of your life." Others claim that Dan said similar things to them. I began to have break-ins to my place of residence the same week that Dan and I separated. During the last ten years my place of residence has suffered damage and theft. It was used as a vehicle to send threatening messages to me. There was evidence my phones and computer were bugged. I moved from my home in Springfield, Illinois because of the intensity of the thug activity. Eventually, my beloved dog, Sheltie, was poisoned. Before he died he was thrown over the balcony, by a thug, of my second story condominium while he was momentarily resting outside of my door on the porch.
I have been in court with my ex-husband for ten years with the intent of acquiring a fair marital settlement. The truth about my exit will be revealed in these court documents. The case, in my opinion, has had a number of unnecessary delays including Protective Orders imposed by DS and his attorneys. However, the case is now nearing it's conclusion. I have reason to believe that a portion of 3ABN's funds are being misused. I say this with caution, as I love 3ABN.
Truth, however difficult, is liberating. Many, many people have suffered as the result of our divorce, and also the false claims made about me. It has always been my intent to reveal the truth as the documentation was made available. But now...considering the circumstances, there's no better time than the present.
It was painful to discover that Dan's soon wife to be, made her appearance at 3ABN the same week we separated, according to the reports given to me. It was also very painful when Dan married one 24 years his junior, one who's vocation was that of a nude dancer. The marriage lasted 3 years. Dan is the caretaker of Brandy's child, who was born just 4 years before our divorce. The parentage of this child is in question.
Mabel Dunbar, a professional who works with abused women, shared with me that prisons of literally full of men who have killed their wives. She counsels that the very best thing to do is to make the truth plain to the people. This is the best safety net for a woman in danger. I cannot prove that the thugs have been paid for or appointed by my ex-husband, so I am not stating that he is the one behind the dangerous activity. But the facts I do know, I share.
I have nearly completed a book about my life. Although it shares the good times and the bad, it is glorifying to the Lord. But in the case that my life is cut short, the painful facts about the scandal I have shared with you. May no other woman on earth have to endure what I have had to endure. I do hope and pray that some changes can be made which prevent such a violation of human rights.
So my prayer request is that myself and my family will be protected from the unsavory characters that have and are abusing my life. It is prayer that has protected my life thus far.
Although you do not see me on the screen anymore, many of your faces I can still see. Meeting you and ministering to you was always my greatest love. May God's richest blessings continue to be yours!
His love & mine, Linda

Many, many people have suffered as the result of our divorce, and also the false claims made about me.
From personal experience, I know that others have suffered from the whole scandal. They spent over $1 million in 2007 and 2008 trying to crush Gailon and me using, how many attorneys? Was it 11, counting Remnant's and Lovejoy's attorneys? It was 5 attorneys in Minnesota, 2 in Massachusetts, and 1 or 2 in Illinois, not counting the Remnant's attorney and Lovejoy's attorney. And that doesn't count the attorney they hired over a year and a half ago when they filed a complaint against me with a private arbitration firm, in blatant contempt of Judge Saylor's dismissal order.
I hope we never have to go through anything like that again. And I'm fairly certain that feeling is mutual.

Couple of comments.
Sad state of affairs.
1. Can it be proven that Brandy was a nude dancer? Have not heard that before.
2. Linda is a warrior. Someone close to hear should tell her her representation in court is incompetent. Ten years???? Tell your attorney that you want the settlement in thirty days or so. Do it. Any specific items holding up a court decision can be stipulated between the parties. :)
-
I am also surprised that any judge would allow it to go on that long.

Wendall,
Linda already changed attorneys awhile back. It isn't that her representation is necessarily incompetent. Remember how 3ABN/Danny dragged their feet on discovery with us? Same story with Linda. They already had an appeal which slowed everything down, and I think it was Danny that appealed. I got to read some of the filings around New Years, and it looked to me that even after the appeal, Danny was still trying to keep his income under wraps. The 10 Commandments book, the income Danny got from that, he's been trying to prevent any discovery on what he actually made on it.
You think Danny might want to stipulate to something fair, honest, and just?
-
I find it odd that Lily would fault Linda for "suing" Danny in order to divide up their marital property. Danny sued Linda for divorce, but Lily doesn't fault him for that.
Lily also questions who is paying Linda's legal bills. Well, who is paying Danny's legal bills? I'd like to know.
-
I am still surprised and wondering why any judge would allow this to go on that long.

The old judge retired.

So it goes back to square one again when judges retire?

Some make more use of it than others

Danny is a thug......He is a pedophile but he is also a thug.....a big cry baby who has to have his way or no way. No matter the cost. And all of his supporters....well....they're brainless sheep.

Reviewing again this portion that Linda posted on Facebook:
I would like to share with you an urgent prayer request, and also some background information to this prayer request. The last couple of weeks have been tragic, to say the least. A number of attempts were made to take my life through poisoning. As a result I was confirmed by a medical doctor to have life threatening amounts of arsenic, aphrodisiacs and radiation in my body.
Which aphrodisiacs were used?
-
It will be interesting to read her book.
-
Might this be the problem?
From the last court order:
Indeed, although we take no position with regard to whether the royalties Danny has been
paid pursuant to the sales of the books would be determinative of the value of Linda's interest,
there is no doubt that if the books are derivatives of the manuscript, they could not legally exist
without Danny having conveyed the right to create them to Shelley, and therefore the amount
of royalties Danny has been paid might very well be probative of the value of Linda's interest,
and the trial court might need to revisit, to some extent, its June 14, 2011, ruling that prevented
Linda from inquiring "as to the amount of proceeds arising from" sales of the books. The question,
after all, would not necessarily be how much money Danny actually received immediately upon
transferring to Shelley the right to create the derivative works, but how much that right, as an item of
marital property, was in fact worth at the time of its transfer, regardless of what Danny
received immediately for it.
-
Worse than having Linda win, I think the prospect of having his dealings looked into could be somewhat terrifying. Perhaps he will settle out of court rather than open his finances up to the court for inspection.

What if Linda is unwilling to settle for the offer that Dan makes to her? Would he find that an acceptable outcome? Wouldn’t it be more comfortable for Dan if Linda’s book is never published and the discovery from the court case is never made public? If something happened to Linda, her children might choose to settle rather than become involved in a never ending court case.
How much easier would it have made Dan’s situation, if the attempt on Linda’s life had been successful?

This was posted three hours ago:
THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH for your prayers and concern! God has been incredibly good to me and is taking care of me...as always! (We all live and breath because of His tender Grace and Mercy!)
I will survive this. There are some very good treatments for poisoning. It does take some time as the body continues to empty itself of the toxins. So I am still taking activated charcoal everyday. (Incredible stuff!)
The police in Florida have escalated this incident to a major crime investigation. Please pray with me that the villains can be caught. (It is a strange age in which we are living. The value of life gets less and less in America.)
My prayer everyday is that I can fulfill my mission for God in planet earth. It's the Main Thing! Although we go through a variety of situations good and bad, we can still be a Witness! And our circumstances and situations have the ability to reveal important truths to us...about God, about life and about ourselves. So valuable!
So have a Great day today...and help make someone else's day Great too! Sending Hugs and Prayers your way!! Linda

Any updates regarding this?
-
The second hearing with the new judge who took over the case about six months ago when the old judge retired - is scheduled for Wednesday.
Linda still requests your prayers, also for safety.

An interesting fact. Linda has three pairs of slip-on canvas shoes, that she wears without socks. In each pair, one of the shoes tested positive for arsenic. These are the shoes she wears everyday during spring and summer. One of the ways arsenic is absorbed into the system is through direct skin contact. Through this method Linda had a constant, prolonged, direct contact with arsenic. That could have been a fatal dosage, not just a warning.
More interesting facts------later.

Someone broke into her home without stealing anything. Seemingly to place the arsenic into her shoes in a way she would not notice it.
What was the purpose?
-
I find it odd that Lily would fault Linda for "suing" Danny in order to divide up their marital property. Danny sued Linda for divorce, but Lily doesn't fault him for that.
Lily also questions who is paying Linda's legal bills. Well, who is paying Danny's legal bills? I'd like to know.
I don't find it odd at all. "Lilly" is a nut case. Her insane ramblings prove this. She needs to be institutionalized so she isn't a danger to herself or others.
-
As someone with a background in law enforcement, I question some of the statements made about not being able to reveal official sources of the alleged criminal activity against Linda S.
Such offenses are newsworthy and would be a matter of public record, and published as such in newspapers, etc. Some of the language used by some of the posters in this thread appear to border on the side of conspiracy theory language and leave the serious reader wondering if such events actually happened as stated, or have been seriously overblown in the SDA rumor mongering machine.
However, if she has indeed come under attack then straightforward reporting of the facts, including references to official sources that can be checked out, need to be supplied.

A post on October 21st from Linda Shelton that she posted on Facebook:
Hi Facebook Friends!
Some of you have been following the posts of Katie Sigsworth. One day I opened my Facebook page and her heartbreaking post about being diagnosed with cancer caught my attention. I wrote to her and told her there was another option, as opposed to the standard radiation and chemotherapy. To make a long story short, she took a leap of faith and traveled to Norway. She received treatments, essentially vitamin and mineral IV's, and now she is cancer-free!! This is a BIG PRAISE the LORD!
A few months ago I posted the news that my life was attacked and that I had been poisoned with arsenic. This was nothing short of attempted murder. The details of this period in my life is detailed in my soon coming book. But once again, to make a long story short, I traveled to Norway. After testing, Dr. Abrahamsen confirmed that my condition was very serious and that I had been poisoned.
Thankfully, my life and health has been restored!! PRAISE GOD!! Although I have always appreciated the gift of life, it is a GLORIOUS gift to me right now!! Wow!! There is so much I want to see, do, experience and accomplish to God's honor and glory! There are simply no words to explain the JOY in being given your life back!!
Dr Abrahamsen? He is a 71 year old, very dedicated Adventist who has developed his special God-given gift for helping the body heal itself. Undoubtedly, he is the world's best kept secret. A portion of his story is mentioned in my book. For years I have been trying to get some noted medical people interested in the work of Dr. Abrahamsen. But it's coming.
Life?? Embrace it! Appreciate it! Cherish it! Live it, Love it and Use it!!
Sending Blessings & Hugs your way,
Linda
