It has been
more than a year since the last issue of
The
PURE
TRUTH
Restored, during which time I was forced to
spend 50 weeks imprisoned for a fictional "crime"
that never even happened (see the article
"Flaw
Enfarcement Reaps Bitter Harvest" in the last
issue for details).
As a result I came close to
death several times, and lost up to 25% of my
former optimal body weight of 178 lbs (down to 134
lbs), more than once, thanks to attempts to starve
me, and otherwise punish me for the non-crime of
having a beard due to my religious beliefs, and for
no other reason!
Several times I suffered
angina pains, survived what I believe were at least
two mini-strokes, and one heart attack, thanks to
Creator Yahveh's merciful healing, along with the
wisdom and knowledge He revealed to me the prior
year relating to hands-on healing techniques, which
I adapted and used to survive my harsh mistreatment
while in jail.
I survived physical attacks
by guards and other prisoners, including being
sprayed with chemical spray and then left without
any detox or shower more than 24 hours, since I was
one of the oldest incarcerated so-called "felons,"
and therefore considered by some of the true
criminals on both sides of my prison bars as weaker
and therefore easy prey.
I suffered also from nearly a
full year of forced inactivity, denied all but a
few hours of outside or any other sort of
recreation, and didn't see sunshine for months at a
time.
Many times the Almighty One
intervened on my behalf, and removed me from dire
circumstances, putting me out of reach of several
violent predators, with many cell and even unit
moves across the sorry state of Texas, even though
this meant often being held in solitary confinement
under falsified "disciplinary" charges, or being
sent briefly and needlessly to psychiatric
facilities twice.
I was even involuntarily
committed for a year, with the psychotropic drug
Lithium and other unknown drugs offered to me (and
falsified records that incorrectly state that I
took such drugs, despite the fact that I never once
did, again due to my religious beliefs against this
wicked practice, see this issue's article
"Science
Fact... The Radiant Face of Moses," and the
scripture link to Revelation
21:8 for more details)
I was also quickly released
and returned to the "normal" jail facility, because
my commitment resulted from the false belief that I
was delusional for saying I had delivered all eight
of our children and first grandchild myself, all
but the first without any medical or other
assistance -- because the medical staff refused to
make one phone call to confirm these facts with my
wife -- until a social worker bothered to make that
call to find I was indeed speaking the truth.
In the face of such
primitives I didn't even dare say one word about
having had many prophetic visions, understandings,
and utterances (including having prophesied the
Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, the Oklahoma
City Federal Building Bombing and the 9-11
catastrophe, to cite but a few), despite many
witnesses who could verify these facts.
After my release, the day
before Thanksgiving, my return home took three
weeks, because I was not even given the courtesy of
being given a ride back to my home county, much
less city, but instead was given a bus ticket to
nowhere, that would have resulted in my being
dumped on the side of the road in the middle of
nowhere, in a different county (until I had the
ticket changed during a layover in Dallas, on the
anniversary of the assassination of President
Kennedy there 43 years previously, which took me to
a city within 70 miles of my home, the closest I
could get, where I spent the next several weeks
homeless on the streets, until my destitute family
could finally afford to reach me).
Since my return home, my wife
and children -- who struggled themselves to survive
this past year -- and I have continued fighting an
uphill battle against poverty and near-starvation
at times, where I learned that many of this
ministry's domains and a major web host had expired
in my absence, taking down most of our web pages as
a result.
This site remains, until the
end of January, but will also expire if we cannot
afford to renew two web hosts and several domains
by then.
Yet, in the midst of all
these troubles, my calling and ministry must come
first, and so this issue came about against all
odds seemingly stacked against it, due to all
the financial difficulties we have endured over the
past year, and continue to suffer.
Yahveh willing, most of what
we have lost will be restored once again, and what
remains will be preserved, or else newer and better
blessings will be added to replace what has been
lost.
We may well live at a time
when there will be a famine of the word to this
wicked age!
Your regular
offerings to help this work survive would be most
welcomed and appreciated. Send all
contributions to:

Your daily prayers and
intercessions on our behalf, even if you cannot
afford any other sacrifice, and for The
PURE
TRUTH
Restored to continue, are even more needful.
And I look forward to serving you for many
more years, if that is the will of our heavenly
Creators.
Until next issue, I remain
your fellow-servant, sans chains, iron bars,
shackles, concrete cells, and murderous cell-mates
and guards, at last.
