Somehow you failed to mention that this is Brad's adopted brother that came to his parents home as a foster child and then they later adopted. The Walkers have been foster parents to a large number of children and also adopted quite a few of them. You also failed to mention that he was known in his own family as a habitual liar and that at one time, even Glen Dryden said he wasn't credible. Maybe that last statement escaped Dryden's memory.
Your statements above are quite revealing, Sam. It demonstrates just how morally bankrupt the Shelton gang is, that they would stoop so low as to attempt to smear an individual who claims to have been a victim of child molestation.
It is just such depravity that led me to get involved in the first place, when on Danny's August 10, 2006, broadcast, Shelley Quinn likened Danny to John the Baptist, Linda to the evil Herodias, and Alyssa to Salome, whom Shelley accused of being a liar.
That was wrong of Shelley to do that. You don't trash a woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted, even if the alleged perpetrator is Danny Shelton, just because you have access to a microphone and a TV camera. Danny should have called a halt then and there to Shelley's sermon, and forbade reruns.
Only the naive would not suspect that Shelley's trashing of Alyssa that day was what Danny wanted.
As for your facade of sympathy to pray for these people....how stupid do you think people are?
I said what I meant, and I meant what I said. If you don't want to pray for them, then don't. But I would suggest that everyone pray for you too.
After years of emails, phone calls and letters between you, these men and Glen Dryden, you finally succeed in getting charges pressed.
Odd that I was recently accused of never going to the authorities. Now I'm accused of being the spark plug behind getting the charges pressed.
The truth doesn't matter as long as your vendetta's succeed.
1) Are you denying that Tommy molested minors? Are you denying that Tommy cheated on his wife by engaging in unseemly conduct with males?
2) What vendetta? We first reported on Danny's cover up of the child molestation allegations against Tommy Shelton in late 2006. What vendetta could I possibly have had against Danny prior to that point in time?
3) I guess we could push this back a long time. What sort of vendetta are you suggesting I had when Tommy's license was suspended in 1985?
Then you have the audacity to come here and ask for prayer for the man and his family that you have worked so hard to "set up"?
So are you denying the charges, and asserting that Tommy was framed?
The above didn't even address the fact that most people's reaction is "what does this pickle guy have to do with anything"? Of course the answer is that Pickle doesn't have any first hand knowledge of any thing. Pickle doesn't personally know the man he accuses or his family. Pickle doesn't personally know the men he has persuaded to make these charges. Pickle is not a social worker, an attorney, a member of law enforcement or even a reporter. So, what in the world is he doing involved of something of this nature?
ANSWER: His tireless quest to try and bring down Danny Shelton and 3ABN. Yet another person that Pickle has never met, and has no personal knowledge of. He has never even been to 3ABN.
Sam, don't buy into the lies of the Shelton gang. It's not worth it.
If someone is concerned about Danny's cover up of the child molestation allegations against Tommy, then the Shelton gang accuses that person of wanting to "bring down 3ABN." It's a lie, a political ploy.
I have been to 3ABN, and I have first hand knowledge of some things about all of this.
Moreover, I have sat in meetings where instruction was given about churches avoiding liability. Therefore, when Walt informed me that he never contacted any of the alleged victims or their families or the two ordaining associations as Dryden invited him to, and that he had instead relied on what Danny told him, even though what Danny told him could not possibly be true, I knew a grave mistake had been made which potentially threatened 3ABN and the Illinois Conference, and I wasn't about to keep quiet about the utter irresponsibility of Danny Shelton in the matter.
The 3ABN Board has had over three years since our reports to address these matters in a responsible way. Instead, they voted to sue us and gave Danny $96,000 in land, plus more than $52,000 in 2009, all beyond his salary.
If I apostatize to the point that I cover up child molestation allegations too, will the 3ABN Board vote to give me land and money too?
The Board has had over three years to deal with it. If the trial of Tommy Shelton for child molestation creates bad press for 3ABN, it isn't my fault.
If 3ABN is adversely affected, lay the blame where it belongs: at the feet of Danny Shelton!
