Friends & Foes

As you have read in the previous page, despite the posturing and denying, Carlton's reign was all but over, and he knew it. All that was left to him was REVENGE.

No doubt he was in furious discussions with Darrien, Adam, Rick, Natalya, Bree, Thomas and of course California Condor. It wasn't long before I became a special target of their hatred.

Lynching Mob Corner me on Truth Island

On Sunday 17th June as I was chatting on the Truth sim, they descended on me in force, and pushed around me in a menacing way.

They mocked, accused and belittled me and reduced me to tears. Carlton in particular was saying "Bye Bye" and laughing, and telling me that he was arranging for me to be booted not only out of Truth but out of Secondlife for EVER. He and his friends were gleeful in their attacks.

This happened in full public view of people arriving to attend the Church, and in front of visitors. California Condor joined in the mockery, supporting Carlton and apologised to Carlton for "what they have done to you".

IM: Jada Hienke: God bless you hun, i don't know what was going on with all this mess tonight. I just wanted to let you know that i think you're a great person and that you shouldn't let people like California get to you..

Next, a woman who wanted to remain anonymous because of her connections to the Wings of Hope leadership privately told me what I already knew, that Carlton was a seducer of souls and minds, that he held an almost hypnotic control over the people he led, and that it was all based on false teaching that she herself had been trying to expose.

Then the next day an Australian called Zeke Chaffe listened to my tale of woe and sympathised greatly - all of these people were a healing ointment to me at that time.

The Incredible Response of Benjamin and Mariposa

These things having been going on under their noses for a month, you would expect the Pastors of Truth to move in decicively with restrait and discipline, especially for their "staff members" like California Condor.

Instead, characteristically, they sat the fence. They implimented a new strategy of posting security guards on the site (people who knew nothing of the real issues), set up bugs to records logs of people's conversations, said they would "watch" Carlton and everyone else to see what was going on...

...and then responded by banning Calliope Simon from the entire site.

As she wryly commented, after all that had been said and done, they cooked up a charge against her of "using profane language". Whatever, Calliope was gone, but soon "Audrey Claxton" arrived in her place.

My Letter to the Pastor and his Wife

Dear Ben and Mariposa

I want to let you know about something that happened on Truth last night that I and others found disturbing, and illustrates the continuing harrassment and disunity being caused by Carlton and his followers. Some of us were on Truth just having innocent fun and chatting in a friendly way when Carlton arrived and started straight away making accusations and threats, first to Calliope (who left the sim, and I don't blame her) and then he started on me.

I fully believe he chose me because I had recently written the notecard about 777; however as you know that card was NOT a personal attack on anybody, merely a factual expose of some of the other side of the event.

Nonetheless, Carlton (the "Apostle"), Darrien Lightworker (the "Prophet"), Adam Soler and others of his group did what they always do when they harrass somebody - push up in a circle around the person and issue threats, make accusations that are never specified, and make hints and innuendoes in public to make it seem that the person is evil. They also use "prophecies" that Darrien produces and circulates, as from the mouth of God, to denounce and judge those they don't like. These are the methods they used for Maggie Barkley and pastor Bamaisin. (I am assuming you have seen that?). Now they have started on me as well - and since this is all happening on YOUR church ground I want you to know about it.

Carlton said he was waiting for the time when he would "unleash the chaos", but never once came up with any fact or wrongdoing or dispute to account for all this. This group also accused me of "setting Breee on fire" which is absolutely a lie. I was there when it happened, but I do NOT possess a weapon of that kind and did NOT have anything to do with it. In any case, as I said, which is worse - a fake pixellated temporary fire, or damning somebody to hellfire and trying to make out I'm not a christian which is what these men did to me.

Adam Soler has also previously accused me of what happened to Breee. I resent being portrayed as a violent person. I merely asked her to tell us where their church was located on that occasion - and I do believe I was justified in pressing her to tell us. (She would not tell us) That was the extent of MY involvement that day.

Darrien then said that "his boss" had ordered him to sack everyone involved in the 777 event and get a completely new set of supporters. I assume that is because the previous followers have now woken up to what Carlton is like - a bully, a fraud, a deceiver and one who acts like a cult leader in smooching those he likes and cursing those who expose him.

Unfortunately, I was so upset and offended by what they were suggesting (in front of a crowd) that I quit before saving the transcript of the chat (however there were many others there who may have saved it, including California Condor who was supporting Carlton.)

In public, without approaching me in private beforehand - which is the biblical order for any dispute - they began telling everyone that I had "mocked God" and "defamed God", that I was a liar, that i would be judged in some unspecified way, and Carlton kept standing over me saying "bye bye" over and over, as if he fully expected me to be struck by lightning! It was very upsetting, and not ONCE - despite my repeated questions - did any of them tell me what I was supposed to have done.

Then California joined in (presumably after Carlton told him what my "sins" were in IM) and took their side, telling me I deserved it all after "what you did to Carlton" but when I asked him what that was, again he didn't answer. The only thing i ever "did" to Carlton was expose his attitudes and activities, and that was necessary, as you know. If that has been a problem I apologise. I also apologise for any unintended resentful or angry attitude I may have shown, but it's hard to keep cool when being threatened in public for nothing.

Not only did this disrupt a perfectly peaceful gathering, but it dragged unbelievers into a most ungodly sight that they should not have witnessed, and then I was blamed for THAT as well.

California has now IM'd my husband to tell him that ALL witnessed the "hate" that WE had last night, and he was justified in his support of that punishment posse. I would therefore like you to tell me of what I am accused, what is the accusation against me and exactly what is going on on Truth where these people are allowed to run riot and do as they please?

Or, if you stand with this group and support them as California so obviously does, please let me know immediately, with your reasons and I can make my decision as to whether I come back to Truth and support the ALM church and yourselves as Pastors in the future.
