Dear friends and former members,
First of all I am more than serious and we will save our loved ones. I am putting together a plan and will need all of your support. I will be including in my next post an email address for everyone to contact me. I am already working with one other who has the same determination as me. You may notice I am not answering any of the posts that reply to mine, this is intentional. We have one goal and that is to save our children and family and friends from the dispicable pervert Tony Alamo. I know for some it is hard but together we will succeed.

I have very little time to be on this corrupt message board because I work for the Lord and can’t waste much time on this, so I have to get everything out that I have to say at once so bear with me for just a little longer. Then I’m out of here. (For the record, Tony doesn’t even know I’m writing this. I have access to the internet and post what I want when I want.)
I want to get another thing straight. I am here in this church not because I was born here but because the Lord has shown me personally beyond any doubt that Pastor Alamo is of the Lord, not because I was told he was. I only listen to the Lord, not to human flesh.
Most of the children that were in the church were here because their parents were and because it was all they knew. But some of us had had real experiences with the Lord and had a closeness with the Lord that went beyond just being in the church. After the government had the church property raided the property and kicked us all out onto the streets, we all went to make livings for ourselves. Some families stayed in touch with the church and tithed but some didn’t. I’m ashamed to say ours didn’t. We had the chance to live the way you all are living now. Some people loved it and chose it rather than a life of self denial, which is what we are commanded to live. But I was miserable out there. I always talked to my family about wanting to get back to the church. I hated it out there. My flesh may have liked some of it, but I knew I wasn’t right with God. No matter how much I tried to serve Him out there, I just couldn’t. There were so many things to distract me from serving the Lord. It was impossible to keep the first and most important commandment, which is love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The Lord kept dealing with me to get back to the church. It wasn’t anything Tony told me. As a matter of fact, I never talked to him, and I rarely heard his message tapes. It was just between God and I, the Lord dealing with me like He had so many times before. (I know when God’s dealing with me.) I couldn’t sleep at night because I knew I wasn’t where God wanted me. I lived like that for years. I couldn’t bring myself to just leave my family and go back even though I wanted to so badly. To make a long story short, my family finally came back to the church. This time I was blessed with the opportunity that I never had before while growing up in the church (none of the children did, they only heard from other people, “Tony said this, Tony said that” most of which Tony never said. You all remember the cruelty to the children brought on by the likes of Dale and Cindy Garris and many others. All of which Tony was very angry about when he heard, and these adults were not allowed to be in positions of taking care of children anymore). This time I got to work around Tony because I worked in the church office. This is when I found out for myself (not taught by anyone else) that he truly is a prophet of the Lord. I have witnessed personally him praying over many, many people (I would never be able to give an amount because it’s such a common occurrence) and they were healed instantly. I’ve seen him, many times, be warned from the Lord to leave somewhere and he, of course, obeyed right away, as he always does, and each time it is manifested why the Lord had him leave—once an earthquake, once a flood, etc.—too many times to mention if I want to finish this tonight. (I’ve got other things to do. I do have a life.) Many times someone will be worried because they think something is really wrong with them or they think something bad is going to happen, and the pastor prays and the Lord tells him everything is okay. And sure enough everything was okay. In fact, that just happened today. Then other times something would happen and it seemed in normal circumstances that it would be no big deal and the pastor says the Lord is warning me about this. This person needs to go to the hospital or do this or do that, and it turns out if they wouldn’t have followed the Lord’s instructions through Tony there would have been a death or something really bad would have happened. I can give two examples. 1) A boy fell out of a tree. Everyone one was just treating it like a minor accident because no one actually saw him fall out of the tree and he had no sign of something seriously being wrong with him. He said he was fine and was already feeling better. When the pastor found out it the Lord instructed him to get him to the hospital right away. They drove him there, and when they got him to the hospital they gave him an MRI and he was bleeding behind the skull, causing his brain to be pushed to the left. They had to operate right away, and everything ended up fine. But the doctors kept commenting that if he hadn’t been brought in as soon as he was there would have been brain damage or death. But because of Tony’s constant with the Lord and they got him to the hospital so fast, he had a very successful surgery and very quick recovery. Of course, Tony gives all the glory to the Lord. 2)There was a woman having twins in the church. The one baby had come and the midwives were just waiting for the other to come. It had only been a little while. Pastor Tony was studying and writing, and he came out right in the middle of writing and said, “The Lord’s telling me to take her to the hospital right away or she and the baby will die. Of course they acted immediately on his instruction, and the doctor had to rush her into an emergency C-section because they said the woman’s womb was closing up with the baby still inside. Again they kept saying that if she wouldn’t have gotten there when she did both her and the baby would have died.
There have been so many times that I have been going through something and never told anyone. I just prayed to the Lord about it, and the same day the Lord will give Tony a message or have him say something that will be exactly what I needed to hear at that time. There was no way he would’ve known unless he was hearing from the Lord. I’ve had a thought come across by brain, and just as it was going through my brain, he told me what I was thinking. These are things that no one can argue with because I know for a fact that they are true, and these are a few of the reasons that nothing you all say will convince me that Tony is not of the Lord. I haven’t even mentioned the obvious: the millions of souls he has won to the Lord. “By their fruits ye shall know them” (Matt. 7:20). “He that winneth souls is wise” (Prov. 11:30). So he that wins the most souls must be the wisest. You would do well to listen to him.
There’s so much more I could say. But these are just a few of the reasons I know Pastor Alamo to be of the Lord. I know God has called me into this ministry. The Bible says, “Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called” (I Cor. 7:20). So anyone who tries to tell me to do other wise, “Get thee behind me, Satan.” I’m here because I know God wants me here. My fear is not “taught to me by the precepts of men” (Isa. 29:13). God has dealt with me personally, and I will never listen to human flesh.
Anyone who happens upon this message board, if the Lord is leading you to come to the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries and you listen to these people’s lies and let them sway you, instead of heeding God’s calling, you are conferring with flesh and blood, and you will be led astray. This is why the Lord says, “Take heed what you hear” (Mark 4:23).
Remember these words to a song: “You won’t lose a friend by heeding God’s calling, for what is a friend if he wants you to fall. Others find pleasure in things I despise. I like that old Christian life.”

For someone who has so little time, you sure have put the same copy and pasted verbage on every page. Is this really you or did Tony tell someone to copy and paste your same old stuff over and over.
Try answering some of the questions that have been asked on these boards. Even if you only admit the truth to yourself.
I can't believe that you all would lie for Tony.
He degrades you by having sex with you all, however he does not claim you for wives or concubines! What does he call you?
I read in the Bible where the men had wives and then list the names, it also lists the names of the man's concubines.
So how degrading is that to take you, and not claim you to be his wife or concubine?
Tony is 72 or so years old- you are 30 years old or so. It is not a honor to married to him. He is a self proclaimed world pastor, who beats children until they bleed, rapes little girls, and has cost the foundation millions of dollars because of his ego.
Jesus is the one who died for you. Read the bible and believe Jesus. He said he is able to keep that which you have committed unto him. Call on Him and He will hear and He will answer you.
I like that old Christian life too. I find pleasure in things other despise. Like reading,praying and singing gospel music.
However I don't have to been subjected to Tony Alamo's abusive ways to stay saved. I have grown so much in the Lord since I've left his abusing, fear tactics foundation.
Yes there is a burning hell, but I didn't need tony alamo to tell me that. The Living God revealed that to me before I got to the foundation.
When I asked Jesus to come into my heart and abide, He did just that. Came into my heart and abides there in my heart to this very day.
I thank God he caused me to understand that it is not about how much I read, or pray or even pass out tracts. If that were the case then I could have worked my way into heaven. Then Jesus would not have had to come and die on the cross. He will share His glory with no other so see it is really all about Him.
It is so easy to get saved. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
It is not as complicated as Tony wants to lead you to believe.

WE were all saved when Jesus died on the cross, we just have to repent. And keep repenting everytime we sin, and try to not do the same sin over and over again like TA is doing. Yes in the bible days some men did have multiple wives and it was okay but is it not a comandment now to live by the law of the land which is to be maternal to only one? Maybe in like Peru or some other foriegn country it their law which is written that they may have more wives, but not in America. Also re: the healing and miracles done by tony, do you know that the devil has the power to heal too if need be? All my young years I was so scared to say bad words, I was so scared to do this or that for fear I was going to hell. I remember at nine or ten years old witnessing to a mentally retarded friend and asking her if she feared God, she said no, nope I don't fear God, and I screamed at her "then your going to Hell!" because that was what i'd always been taught. That was so wrong of me, it's wrong of anyone to tell anyone else that their going to hell. Teach someone about hell and the way we get there, don't just yell at them that that's where their going! Yes we should fear God because he is the only one with the power to cast us into hell, but we have the power to say no-I choose Heaven, choose the right and then you don't have to worry about hell. God is very merciful, he will forgive us if we seek forgiveness with sincerety that were not going to do whatever we've done again. I believe if Charles Manson asked God for forgiveness and never intended and never again committed the horrible crimes he's committed I honestly believe he would be admitted into the gates of Heaven. Now tony alamo, I wouldn't be so confident in saying that! And that's probably wrong of me, I don't like to be judged and I shouldn't judge people but I don't like the idea of what is going on there either. Raping of little girls, beating of helpless children, and their still there because they are too scared to leave. I can relate to that. I was married to an abusive man for six years and I was scared to leave because of what I feared he may do to me, my child or my family. I understand, but there are people who can help you, if you want help. Don't let t.a. hurt you or your babies. That would have beeen it for my ex-husband had he hurt my daughter, I would have killed him with my bare hands and stood to be judged by God later, and I would have said I'm sorry Heavenly Father for what i've done but I couldn't let him hurt my innocent child. And I believe as forgiving and merciful as God is he would have taken me in his arms and forgiven me. I love my Heavenly Father and my brother Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul and if you just trust in them you can't go wrong. Your doing wrong by being a bystander right now to what is going on, i think i would be fearing for my eternal soul rather than loosing what power you may have in your place right now, I would stand up for what is right even if it meant loosing a crazy husband or place that you've lived for years, just think about it.

please don't mistake my above post that I support polygamy. I was trying to make a point about how degrading Tony has treated all his wives. He doesn't refer to them as wives or concubines. We really don't know what he calls them.
Maybe Mishael, Lydia or Jeanne could clarify it. Since I know they have denied being tony's wife or being married. I will ask this question.
Are you Tony's concubine or are you his sex partner or toys or whatever he call it.

Susie Gruesome and Sue Balsley, it amazes me that you think that you can so boldly order me to tell you about my personal life. My life is none of your business. How or where I choose to live my life has nothing to do with you. I am commanded not to cast my pearls before swine. It is between God and me. But for the sake of innocent people that read this message board, I will say that I have not had sex with Pastor Tony Alamo, nor am I married to him. Tony doesn’t have anything to do with me, with the exception of being my pastor. There are no children being abused, molested, married off, or made concubines in this church. That is another filthy lie.
Yes, Kenya Williams was put out of the church because he was committing fornication with several different women and carrying a gun to defend himself from a jealous boyfriend. And as all of you former members in this church know very well, the Lord instructed Pastor Alamo many years ago not to have any weapons in this church. (In all my life I have never so much as seen a gun.) So any person carrying a gun or anyone that commits fornication (or any other deliberate sin unto death) after they have been saved and filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit (which gives them more than enough power to keep from sinning) is made to leave. The rules of this church are based very strictly on the Word of God. Paul instructed us in the way a church should be set up. Some of those instructions are as followes: “I write unto you not to company with fornicators” (I Cor. 5:9). “But I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator…with such an one no not to eat…Therefore put away from among yourself that wicked person” (I Cor. 5:11-13). I also am commanded “Be not unequally yoked with an unbeliever: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? (II Cor. 6:14).
My son and I are not being abused or beaten in any way (hit, clobbered, kicked, or whatever other words you choose to use) nor have we ever been. We are both very happy and want to be left alone. You say you love us, and all of you pretend you care so much, but what you are doing shows me differently. You know we are here because we want to be here. You know we could leave at any time we want. As a matter of fact, I happen to know personally that if I ever wanted to leave, Pastor Alamo would buy me a ticket to go anywhere I want in the US. He’s not begging to support us. I have seen him buy many a ticket for people who didn’t want to stay here anymore.
No one is telling you how to serve Satan so stop trying to tell us how to serve the Lord. We get our instructions from the Lord, not flesh. You are trying to get as many people riled up as you can to try and get Tony behind bars, a man who has done nothing but cared for our souls and put others first before himself, staying up hours into the night studying and writing literature, and bringing messages everyday to win souls and to have fresh manna to feed to his congregation every day. You want someone like this behind bars because you can’t stand the fact that he preaches the truth, because it makes you feel uncomfortable. The truth scares you because you know you are on your way to hell.
You all lived very happy lives in this ministry and many of you even wrote letters stating this very fact in your own words. You could have left at any time and chose not to. Most of you only left because you were made to leave because you would not live lives that lined up with the Word of God in every way. Some of you, even after you were put out still stood up for the church in court and elsewhere because you knew that Pastor Alamo was a man only interested in doing a work for the Lord and winning as many souls as he could before it is too late. But you have let Satan set himself up in the place where the Lord once lived. You now despise the things of the Lord that you once loved. Seven demons worse than your original demons have now moved in to your temple that was once the Lord’s temple, and you have become antichrist.
I believe that all of you people are being paid by the Vatican controlled government to do what you are doing so that if the government comes in and kills Pastor Alamo they can say it was you so that they won’t be blamed for it. FBI Agent John Gary Peeler stated that the government was trying to get him to assassinate Pastor Alamo, and you’re trying to give the Vatican controlled government the justification to do it. You know that they have murdered millions of people before and that’s why you are doing this. You are nothing but ponds for Satan and his Vatican.
Pastor Alamo’s messages are all over the world. The message is out and this is what makes you ungodly people so irate. The more God’s message gets out, the more infuriated Satan and his followers become. He knows that his time is short. If Pastor Alamo’s message was leading people to hell like the Catholic cult has been doing for centuries, you people wouldn’t have any problem because he’d be just like you. But it’s not until the Lord starts opening more doors to get the true, undiluted, uncompromising message out to more and more people right here at the end of time that Satan fights Pastor Alamo the hardest. You need to follow Gamaliel’s advice: “Take heed to yourselves what you intend to do [concerning this man]…Refrain from [him], and let [him] alone; for if [his] counsel or [his] work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God” (Acts 5:34-39).

Mishael
I didn't feel as if I was demandig an answer from you regarding your personal life.
You get on this cult message board and proclaim how wonderful Tony Alamo is. I guess you feel your job is to defend Tony using whatever methods, twisted stories you need to tell to put tony into a good light.
However our job is to expose Tony for the pervert, self proclaimed world pastor, who has beaten children bloody, took to wife 15 old virgins, has his followers live in run down rubbish surrounded shacks, while he lives the live of a pampered king. Pretends to hear from God. So go ahead and keep protecting Tony almighty.
Here is a good question for you
why doesn't he get on here himself
We all were there at the foundation because we thought it was wonderful too! That is why we wrote all the letters you have from 15+ years ago.
However the Lord took the blinders off our eyes and now we see Tony for who he really is.
Remember my post about the children being beaten on Georgia ridge until they were bloody. There is no way you can deny that Mishael.
So forget the question about you being Tony's concubine or whatever he calls you.
Yes or no answer from you would be a good thing,
Did you see any one of the children being beaten by tony's command on Georgia Ridge? Just answer this question - we already know that answer to this tough question.
just seeing if you are able to ever admit the truth.
I think most of the kids would like an apology from Tony!
Maybe he saw the light and realized what a monster he was after Sharon had zion and has since changed his child abusing ways. However I doubt that has happened after reading what Tammi, Nikki and Jody had to say about the going ons inside Alamo Harem.

Misheal,
FIRST of all, I have been married for 10 years. My name is NOT Rebecca Levy. My name is Rebecca Gay. I understand that taking your husband's last name is foreign to you, especially since Tony is ashamed of you and doesn't want to claim you as his wife... from here on out please refer to me, respectfully, by my legal name, Rebecca Gay.
Next I would like to address, for the very last time, your accusations against my father, Bill Levy. Let me be specific for you..... Rubbing someone's bald head or scratching a bald head, although gross, is NOT molestation... also being tickled, although, I agree, it is inappropriate for a grown man to tickle a young lady who is no longer a little child, is also NOT molestation.... Giving a man a massage on his neck or shoulders or back, or feet, although not fun and maybe even annoying, maybe even inappropriate, is also NOT molestation! Tony Alamo DOES pressure his wives (also known as concubines, lovers, or bed partners) into saying other men molested and raped them. He made Jeannette Orlando confess to being molested by her own father and her own brother. EVERYONE knows that was a LIE hatched by Satan's favorite vessel, Tony Alamo! He forced Lydia into confessing that she was molested.... I wouldn't be surprised if he has forced rape and molestation confessions out of all of his sex partners. Misheal, I do not believe that my father ever molested you. I guess one day everyone will know the truth, and until then, please do not speak to me about this again. I have not lived in my father's home since I was a 17 year old girl, which is 13 years ago! I am not responsible for him now, nor was he my responsibility then. If you have ought against him maybe you need to address him personally! Also, his messages on this chat board in NO way reflect my feelings, morals, or values. I am a grown woman and I have my own relationship with God. His rhetoric is not my own! I am so sick of all the talk of my father... If you have something to say about Bill Levy, address him and not me!
Now... let me repeat something YOU said, in a prior post.
THESE ARE YOUR WORDS (in quotes):
" I always talked to my family about wanting to get back to the church. I hated it out there. My flesh may have liked some of it, but I knew I wasn't right with God. No matter how much I tried to serve Him out there, I just couldn't. There were so many things to distract me from serving the Lord. It was impossible to keep the first and most important commandment, which is love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength."
You have basically told us that your weakness and inability to serve God outside of the "sterile" confines of the church is what keeps you there. That is the most honest thing you have said. If you are that weak and you cannot serve God under ORDINARY circumstances then perhaps you are correct... Perhaps you do need to stay right where you are. Better that you should be locked away from "the world" than have to actually truly crucify your flesh. You see, where you are living you have no choice, your flesh is crucified for you, by Tony. Unfortunately for you, your inability to say NO to sin on your own, and your desire to serve God, under Tony Alamo's dictatorship led you right into sin! You were married and pregnant with another man's child... how is it that you ended up in another man's (Tony Alamo's) bed??? That my dear is sin. It is adultery. Your separation from your husband(Kenya), whom God BLESSED you with, is even more violent because of the violence your own son suffered at Tony's hands. Trust me, Misheal, I know that if you could have stopped that from happening you would have.
I have NO doubt that you could make it out here in the real world. I think though that YOU don't believe you could make it!
As for your little cutting comment about the grocery store... I didn't say that I enjoyed grocery shopping. You aren't stupid Misheal. Surely you know the difference between someone asking you a question and someone making a statement. I was using examples of all the ordinary things that NORMAL people do, that you are not allowed or permitted to do in the confines of the Alamo CULT. Yeah, sweetie, that's right, YOU ARE IN A CULT! As for your claims to have "purchasing agent's who buy you whatever you want " that is just down right stinking FUNNY! Man, you are a hoot! Who knew that even after all you have been through your sense of humor would still be in tact! That's just great! Misheal, stop the lying already. The ONLY people who get to have any kind of say in what kind of food they eat are Tony's house mates, lovers, wives, concubines, sex toys, prisoners... pick your favorite adverb... they are all equally accurate!
As for the garbage about me liking to see people get in trouble. That is simply not true. I'm sorry you believe that. The truth is Misheal, when I was in the church, I thought that tale bearing was Godly. It was what I was taught my whole entire life. We were taught to report, report, report. The reason you didn't like to report when you were a kid is because you may have had things to hide... Putting people on report took guts! It put you right in the line of fire! When you reported someone you had to answer for your own actions at some point during the conversation with Tony. I never had ANYTHING to hide. Just like when I was a kid... I live my life honestly and openly.
Maybe you should try it some time. It feels great to be able to live your life and have nothing to hide. The lowest, hottest, part of hell you talk about.... I have no fear of that. I live a righteous life before my Maker. I answer to God and seek God every day. God is my master, He is my leader, He is my Jehovah Shalom, or my God of peace. You know what I have that you do not have? I have peace that you can not fathom. I don't answer to man (although I do keep the laws of the land)... I answer to my God. God is my Jehovah M'Kadesh, or God who sanctifies. I have a personal relationship with God. He knows me better than YOU or TONY ALAMO will ever know me. Me and God, we have a personal, intimate relationship. You should try to get to know God yourself. You will find that TONY ALAMO's heresy keeps you from having true relationship with our Father, in heaven. It is my prayer that you would come to know your Maker in a more real, more intimate way.
God Bless you, Misheal,
Rebecca Gay

They insisted it's Salami and that I insulted them by calling it phony... that's when they lost me. I better learn Italian before I call back.

Here are just some of the crimes Tony has committed:
Statutory Rape (age of consent defined by state -- see below):
"The term "statutory rape" is sometimes used when national and/or regional governments, citing an interest in protecting minors, consider people under a certain age to be unable to give consent, and therefore consider sexual contact with them to be equivalent to rape regardless of the minor's consent."
Age of consent in California: 18
Age of consent in Arkansas: 16
Age of consent in Texas: 17
Federal:
"Federal law forbids crossing state lines or international borders with a person who is under 18 (in an attempt to escape the state's AOC or without permission from the minor's legal guardian), or any sex with a person who is under 16 and at least 4 years younger than the perpetrator (18 U.S.C. 2243, 18 U.S.C. 2423)."
Rape (Federal -- Felony):
The crime of rape (or "first-degree sexual assault" in some states) generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force, threat of injury, or other duress. A lack of consent can include the victim's inability to say "no" to intercourse, due to the effects of drugs or alcohol. Rape can occur when the offender and victim have a pre-existing relationship (sometimes called "date rape"), or even when the offender is the victim's spouse."
Violation of a minor in the first degree (Arkansas Law -- Felony):
1.) A person commits the offense of violation of a minor in the first degree if he engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual activity with another person not his spouse, who is more than thirteen (13) years of age and less than eighteen (18) years of age, and the actor is the minor’s guardian, employee in the minor’s school or School District, temporary caretaker or person in a position of trust or authority of the minor."
