I dug this outta the trash bin to share. The son we never heard of: http://www.tonyalamonews.com/486/susan-alamos-son-charles-brown-reveals-her-con.php Just in case anyone still has any "warm/fuzzy" feelings for Susan. | ||

Susan "dreamed of being tremendously wealthy"... Charles Brown, aka "Howard" her son. It’s amazing how far you can go on free labor, Howard said. Mother showed me a financial statement once that depicted their ministry being worth $52 million in Arkansas alone. She couldn’t understand why I was so stupid, refusing to come into the church, the amount of money that was flowing. But I had no use for the hate stuff. As with all of these organizations, there was a big hate factor involved. Us against them. I was never interested. Mother was a great con artist in her own right. They got a lot of kids off the streets, off drugs, but it’s the old story money corrupts. The money flowed, and the power of controlling that many people was very corrupting. When Susan Alamo died, Howard and his wife paid a dutiful visit and confronted a bizarre greeting. Tony told me, “You don’t understand the real truth.’ He lined up 15 kids to tell me how a miracle was going to happen, that my mother would come back to life. She was in a coffin in this huge house they had built, 18,000 square feet on a mountaintop. It was like that for months. The state of Arkansas eventually had to sue him to seal the coffin. Then when Tony took it on the lam, he took the coffin with him. That’s when I began to consider how twisted this might possibly be, said Howard. On the one hand, Howard, now 54, can express admiration for his late mother. She was always a dreamer who had this great vision of being tremendously wealthy. It was kind of fascinating to see her come into all that money and power in her own life. | ||

This interview was May '91. He would be 69ish now. Probably still in Sacramento, but only a few years younger than Tony. | ||

Howard [Charles Brown] lives in a prestigious east-area development with his wife. He is, by all indications, a nice guy. Howard was not happy with Unsolved Mysteries. It had several things wrong, he said. Despite the absence of religion in their backgrounds, the Alamos recognized an unlikely niche for themselves in the late ’60s, Howard said. They would become the ministers of Sunset Strip, helping the street people and the dope-addled hippies to a better life. I don’t think it was ever totally altruistic, but there were some good intentions, initially, he said. The ministry skyrocketed, and they moved it out to Saugus, Calif., where they bought an old motel and dance hall and turned it into a church. The Alamos left California under cloudy circumstances in the middle ’70s, moving back to Susan’s hometown of Alma. They took as many as a thousand followers with them, and left about 700 in Saugus. Unlike later TV ministries, such as that of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the Alamos did not wheedle money on TV. They profited from the labors of their members. A system of elders kept those members in line. Once in Alma, they developed a large restaurant and showroom that featured country music stars, a concrete plant, a nursery, motels and apartments, a clothing concern and other businesses. | ||

Just because her son said it does not make it a fact.Peter walked with ate with and still lied about Jesus Christ "who is Lord". I am not saying susan is equal terms as the Lord. Folks I ask you,do you beleive all that you hear? I went down to the alter and I Received Salvation and if anyone anywhere wants to denie that,let them take it up with the Holy Ghost. | ||

I am amazed that once again a tonee plant has been allowed to monopolize this forum. I think we have all recognized "it" as a plant, yet we continue to respond to its inane comments. Can we please hit the "ignore" button and discuss relevant issues? | ||

Dyan, Intresting stuff. I remember seeing susie's son only once. He was walking by the kermagee toward the restaurant with tony and sue. Brother d, I doubt itistrue is a tony plant. I asked itistrue to denounce tony on this board numerous time. itistrue denounced tony every time I asked. tony would be utterly furious if itistrue was supposed to be a loyal follower and said the things about him (tony) on this board. You can be sure tony would strip itistrue of every worldly possession and the left boot of fellowship would immediatly follow. | ||

some people leave tonee's foundation, but tonee's spirit stays with them. they need to dump both. the truth will make you free. tonee is a LIAR and his ways are wicked. if you spend time responding to these idiots who spout tonee doctrine, you're not addressing the real issues. | ||

Brother D, itistrue is most definitely Les Wood...he left the group in 1994 or 1995 with his new bride. He is one of the ones who left the group, but tonee's spirit, doctrines, and self-righteousness remain with him. He is still blind and captive to the lies and still in the fog. Jesus came to set the captive free and to give sight to the blind. Les chooses to stay in the fog. Jesus mourned over those who would not come to the light. Les is one of many sad cases. He reminds me of someone who didn't get enough attention as a child. Now he demands our attention, whether good or bad. NO ONE wants him on Factnet yet he refuses to leave. He was ousted from Factnet a few months back by the moderators, but due to some software glitch he was allowed to sign back on. Might be time for someone to request his dismissal again. susieg | ||

Some people leave or get kicked out with their spiritual eyes wide open and they go on and are used by God alot. It is really great to know that God is writing a book of rememberance. What is God writing about you wilma?,what is God writing about me ? what is God writing about raining ?,what is God writing about les wood? ,what is God writing about everyone on earth. | ||

Bro D, I don't think you can denounce a spirit you are possessed with. (Message edited by Heynow on January 15, 2008) | ||

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1M5xYwbecNY Job 6:25,How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? Job 16:3,Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? 4,I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. 5,But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. 1 Thessalonians 1:5,For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. I want everyone to know what kind of man and what manner of man I remain and if tony alamo or yourselves don't dig it then too bad,for even the men of nineveh shall rise up againest you in judgement. So,James 1:21,Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 2 Thessalonians 2:17,Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. James 1:22,But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 2 Peter 1:19,We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: That is the Way Jesus Christ Who is Lord and is the Word,says it is. 1 Peter 5:7,Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. It is good for you and me to remind God that we need him,and to be merciful upon us,Talk to God now. |
