WATCH WHAT THEY DO – NOT WHAT THEY SAY

Master of Puppets

I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Blinded by me
You can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master, Master
Where's the dreams that I've been after?

Laughter, Laughter
Laughing at my cries

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

-METALLICA

A federal investigation, like those presently conducted on the Word of Faith Fellowship Organization, it's leadership and members begins like this:

It starts at the bottom, with identifying the small fish who might have been watched or reported on for some potentially illegal activity. Once identified and evidence obtained, those persons are charged with a crime by the system within the regional jurisdiction of the Federal Government.

Once charged, then pressure is applied on the subjects and or targets of the investigation to obtain information about those higher up in the organization. It is the rounding out the framework of those in an organization's alleged crimes or offenses that are part of a common scheme or plan.

During this process, incentive may be offered to give up information toward some kind of leniency or reduced prison time. When the evidence ultimately starts gushing out after this incentive is applied, investigators head to the next level vetting out the details of their incentive based dirt and building their case.

In this scenario, the subjects or targets also now become witnesses in addition to defendants.

The immense legal threat they are personally facing are also subject to local and state charges.

It would be interesting to witness the peripheral characters at the center of the WOFF series of investigations on a chart linking them with other WOFF members, enablers, leaders and possibly victims in this or multiple investigations.

It must be slow torture for those who have the most to lose, when not praying, when not denying this is really happening, when scoffing at those who dare challenge them, when assigning blame to others, that they too must eventually make their way to a seat at the grown up table.

Now the very legal system that WOFF and Jane have used to previously defend themselves and prevail, will face the Federal Government justice system from not just one, but on a number of levels and with many participants in a meticulously detailed and assembled set of cases. The investigations undoubtedly produce depth and detail about many of our questions and provide us with a much better definition of true north. There's no buying off, delaying or praying these set of circumstances away.

This is what happens when you have no sense of how the world works, a litany or mindset of us against them, sloppy attempts at coverup and no sense of common sense, gets you.

Jane, her followers and enablers now have to answer to a more immediate authority resulting in the dissecting of this organization, it's businesses, and personal lives.

While WOFF will undoubtedly position itself as the object of outrage, their “we're being persecuted like the Jews” bromide will once again be an attempt at apoplectic distraction.

This is curious because Jews have facial hair. Jews watch television. Jews dance. Jews drink wine.

Jews celebrate holidays. Jews embrace family members from outside their community.

WOFF people don't.

Jews were and are still persecuted. They were almost wiped out, killed, by evil.

WOFF'ers have wiped out their own, through their own evil. No WOFF'ers have died.

Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they are persecuting you. They are just disagreeing with you, not killing you or beating you.

Just the way a Jew might disagree how you are comparing yourselves to them.

WOFF'ers wanting to leave: you can't live in a culture where trust is variable and danger is as close as Jane changing her mind. As you and I know, not ALL WOFF'ers are treated equally.

People have already taken notice for some time. But now, people are actually out there in numbers organizing to help you. No one is taking WOFF down. WOFF has already done it. The justice system will see to it that those responsible are held accountable.

Despite WOFF radio broadcasts ranging from a happy picture of redemption, denials and misunderstanding about your "church", we chose to WATCH WHAT YOU DO AND NOT WHAT YOU SAY.

Finally Jane, Thomas Merton, a Monk said: "I don't always know the right thing to do, Lord, but I think the fact that I want to please you pleases you.” .

He wrote that about God. You know, the one you talk to all the time? I don't believe that he asked you to tell your followers to allegedly beat up people, have your members shun their families on the outside, allegedly steal, allegedly make people work for you and not pay them, and live in a mansion.

I know this because I never see you at the meetings.

Lady, you are out of your fucking mind. I will say that to you the next time you tell me you love me. See you at church!

WHO ARE WOFF's ENEMIES?

"We are secluding ourselves in ideological ghettos. We have our own news sources. We exchange ideas mostly or exclusively with people who agree with us, and troll those who don't. Increasingly, we have our own facts to reinforce our convictions and any empirical evidence that disputes them is branded as 'fake.” - Senator John McCain

Having listened to the WOFF Response radio program members demonizing the world they are counting on to believe them, it is easy to conclude WOFF's core belief: “we respond on our own terms and use every legal way to defend, evade, spin and escape” the seemingly perpetual and numerous accusations brought against them.

There is never ANY mention of specific incidents to which they respond. The words: “lies, attackers, and conspiracy” populate their airtime blather, countered with the “'this is such a wonderful place', 'how can people attack us like this?' 'None of this goes on here', 'They've changed my world' and my favorite 'We don't want to be a friend of the world'”, tribal talking points.

Their stream of consciousness rants boldly contains blaming others for the very things they are doing.

This opportunity to properly address the community bleeds of hubris instead of humility that is heavily salted with poor or challenged communication skills by members with no order, depth, or direction in their monologues.

A coherent narrative this does not make. But an unhinged stream of feigned persecution, denial and palpable panic underscore a dangerous level of madness that is consensus within this “church”.

So, WHO ARE WOFF'S ENEMIES?

I have compiled this list. Let's compare notes.

1. WOFF – They are their own WORST enemy. Listen to the radio show, read the WFF webpage, talk to current members. The sheer volume of actions past and present within the “church” that have led to accusations, investigations and court sessions as well as controversy, ridicule, and pain. This is a community increasingly unmoored in common sense.
   
   
2. The Truth – No matter what the verdict, they will claim victory or persecution. The facts don't matter. Anything that doesn't go their way isn't the TRUTH. Is it the TRUTH you hate, or just the math?

3. Justice/The Feds – They see this as unfair. How can “JUSTICE” know the way of God? It's a sure fire way, in their minds that even if they prevail, the whole ordeal was just unfair. I'm sure investigations and warrants and searches are a bitch. Just wait until they find those rare Dead Sea Scroll Steak Knives! Jane, it's the cost of doing business, honey.

4. Accountability -They see accountability as persecution. They do not believe they need to be held accountable. That's for “the world”, not them. After all, everything is great at the WOFFLEHOUSE.
   

5. Victims - What about the victims? You've heard about about feces, how one million flies can't be wrong. Same with the scores of victims you have piled up. Not all of them could be lying. Again with the math.

6. Whistleblowers – I cannot believe you don't know how many whistleblowers you still have in this “church”. Not everybody is following the format. Even if WOFF had a cleanse, you STILL wouldn't get to all of them. You have them and that will NEVER change.

7. Delusion – Nobody's perfect Jane, even though you have proclaimed it. Your followers will take your cue. Delusion is dangerous in this setting. This is how you justify egregious acts and lands you in hot water. 
   
   
   

8. The Media – We never get to hear your side, WOFF. Not in a true back and forth. How about a live interview, on the radio, with ME? Remember checks and balances? That's what journalism does. It holds those accountable by reporting truth. This includes yard sales.
   By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. - Oscar Wilde

9. Opinions – The community you live in has enabled you. Some with their back scratching and others with their silence. The one's not in the former group are the ones who make the most noise about you. They have to live among you and put up with your nonsense. Don't expect to keep pulling the shit you do and get a pass on public opinion.

10. Bloggers and Activists– We are the least of your problems, or so you have convinced yourself. Yet, you keep sending your minions to monitor and document public gatherings, read our blogs and have followers report back to you. To you we are attackers, devils.....you've called us everything but a white man. We are the conscience that doesn't exist within the walls where its followers are smothered and covered. We give hope, we are on a mission to speak to the truth, to point the way where alternative forms of worship and living exist and hold you accountable. Your system has holes that expose your vulnerability such as with the IRS, HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, FCC, SBI, STATE BOARD OF REALTORS, and THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

I invite readers to search through my previous blogs as well as the links within these WW pages. The very things that are coming to light, I have forecasted in those blogs........years ago!

Suffice it to say, I and others who are openly vocal against WOFF are the bane of their existence. As long as they hold my family within their ranks, as well as treat others like crap because they don't fit in, I will be there holding them accountable.

PREACHING TO THE CHOIR - Damage Control for Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption

“I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here” - Claude Rains

Only WOFF can try to put out a fire with gasoline.

For the last few months, WOFF and it's members have paid for and appeared on local Rutherfordton, NC radio station WCAB, AM 590, from 8:30am to 9am, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, under the guise of “responding to the negative news reports” as heard in the awkwardly crafted disclaimer that opens the program.

The radio program attempts to deliver positive light about the Spindale faithful, perhaps intending to avoid addressing abuse allegations against members and ex-members, as documented in the Associated Press investigative pieces first reported in March of 2017. Meanwhile, video features slickly produced exclusively for WOFF's website and Youtube page, unabashedly exploit current WOFF members by viciously denouncing former family members who have left. One such example is the family of John Huddle, Religious Cults Info blogger, activist, and face of the awareness movement warning of the congregation's dangers.

WOFF's campaign of attack, deflect, and defiance is troubling. The choice of contrasting messages in the two mediums is bizarre, if not confusing.

Their approach cancels itself out and further distorted by feigning outrage at the accusations against them and cries of persecution. Their unwillingness to discuss specific incidents is not only conspicuous, it is breathtaking dishonesty, magnified by their lack of remorse or accountability.

This Public Relations campaign addressing the prevailing curse of controversy is further compounded by having a member who is a LAWYER, Mark Morris, who is presumably at some level of counsel for WOFF, to conveniently steer the content and message away from further controversy, but to also ignore, edit out or end run the real matters of concern. This approach resembles state controlled media tactics, as in North Korea, where the only message is the one their government sees fit for its citizens.

So, listeners are just supposed to take WOFF's word on these programs?

From a legal viewpoint, I understand that any admission or counterpoints discussed on this program may be considered evidence toward any future formal legal proceeding. And the potentially costly fumble committed on February 5th's WOFF RESPONSE, where member Sandra Norris’ reference to the Matthew Fenner case was deleted after the initial broadcast because it may have violated the gag order imposed on discussing this case, was brazenly egregious. If this situation indeed causes penalty, it should not be ignored that this sloppy piece of broadcasting, that is,violating a gag order and then editing out the content for future broadcast, may also interest the FCC.

This program has stumbled in its evolution from the prevailing technically challenged on-air audio levels in its very production, featuring nervous, seemingly stream of consciousness and ramblings of Karel Reynolds and other storytellers with accounts of people with troubled lives finding redemption and comfort in the arms of the WOFF community.

But that is all it is. “Here is my story, Isn't this place great? How about a song?” I hear no mention of negative reports or accounts of specific incidents.

I have no doubt that people's lives have changed. I have seen SOME, NOT ALL, people who are fully embedded there and would never consider moving on.

That's great. We're sincerely happy for you. We are not against you loving and serving God.

I believe we can agree that WOFF is not for everybody.

I am not a former member, but it has been my personal experience with WOFF is that if these people SMELL even the slightest doubt that you're fully in, they can make your life hell.

I have personally witnessed WOFF leadership and members all treating you with love and kindness and smiles and hugs and pats on the back and loving eye contact. However, some of these same people, mostly in leadership, also have a gear that goes in reverse without even shifting, resulting in behavior that defies description.

I say this because the people IN that congregation can get a bit carried away. Take the WOFF members awaiting their day in court for the Fenner incident.

Just recently a WOFF self destructive suck up was caught stealing campaign signs. His picture has lit up Facebook and even faces a court date for his trouble. It turns out to be the same “soldier” that was one of the names in the Michael Lowry beating complaint.

Wait, isn't this place about control? In the WOFF system, followers pick on the innocent, and the guilty get the lawyers. And, when you get called on it, we are all liars, attackers, and you clam up when it suits you.

And Pastor Jane Whaley, you have been curiously absent from these broadcasts.

Perhaps it is her doctrine, a fear based message, a culture dependent on secrecy, control, and unequal distribution of wealth. One where every member is a source of WOFF revenue, resulting in a congregation with now more ex-members than members. It is understandable that she may not be the ideal messenger to helm this broadcast. It might confuse the listeners hearing from an established, profoundly reckless woman of seemingly questionable sanity, making WOFF'S case in public.

So, in your words, WOFF: the denial devil will lead you to submit to legal authority. Take hold, dear leadership, justice is charged with locking in the truth and will further subject you to open rebuke.

WOFF, in squandering your chance to truthfully address these pending matters, work against your campaign. Your broadcasts are just air, with no significant content, but denial and silence. Future trips to the courthouse will compel you to change your tune.

Otherwise, all you are doing is Preaching to the Choir.
