CALIFORNIA/OREGON
IN CALIFORNIA, during the early days of the ministry, a young couple joined the
Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps (A.C.M.T.C.). God blessed
them with two healthy children, and they were all making progress in the Lord.
However, the father, whose name is Don L., began secretly stealing money from
the ministry, and worse, he was using the stolen money to buy prostitutes.
Eventually, Don defected from the ministry and fully returned to a life of sin,
leaving his wife and children behind.
At this point, the MS lawsuit was in full swing, and, according to Don L.,
Robert (Bob) D. B. (MS’s attorney) approached him with the proposition to join
the camp of accusers. Though Don later regretted his decision, at that time he
consented under the heavy, surreptitious influence of Mr. Bob B. and company.
Don L., influenced by the counsel of the accusers, chose to seek custody of
his two children. He obtained legal custody and arrived at the ministry’s home
with a group of policemen. Having been preconditioned by the lies of the
accusers, the policemen entered the house with their guns drawn, ready for
some imagined confrontation. Of course, the officers met no hostility. However,
they still heartlessly took the children away from their caring mother, who could
only weep and weep.
Don continued in a life of sin and got worse. Besides buying prostitutes, he
bought drugs. As his life went farther and farther down the gutter, the kids
became less important until finally, he got rid of them and left them with other
relatives.
Thank God, one of the relatives had enough sense to bring the children back
to their mother, who was elated and thankful to God, to say the least! As for
Don L., his illegal habits landed him in prison for quite some time. While in
prison, he wrote letters of confession to the Generals.
The truth came out. Don L. admitted that he was a PAID INFORMANT (PAID
LIAR) under the auspices of MS and Robert D. B. Don also admitted that he,
inspired by the accusers, tried to use the kids to get the Generals into court in
order to film the Generals by hidden cameras for another slanderous television
show, which was to be aired on New York’s Fox Network. It is said the TV show
was intended to incite more hatred against the ministry.
Don also confessed his many sins and expressed his desire to make
reconciliation with God, the Generals, and the A.C.M.T.C.
HOW SAVAGE TO TAKE AWAY A MOTHER’S CHILDREN AND THEN
ATTEMPT TO USE THEM IN A SCANDAL TO MALIGN AND DESTROY A
LEGITIMATE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY! HOW THOUGHTLESSLY CRUEL!
All factual testimonies indict the accusers, who, to this very date (2004), are
still trying to kidnap and steal members from the A.C.M.T.C. Can you see how
criminal, how malicious, their means and motives are?
NEW MEXICO
AN ADULT 23-YEAR-OLD MAN named Brad Shanks, A.K.A. Christopher, was
a new member of the A.C.M.T.C. He loved the Lord and wanted earnestly to be
a missionary. Unfortunately, his parents came under the spell of the accusers
and sought to destroy his life with the people of God.
On July 8, 1995, Christopher was enjoying a Christian biography when a car
showed up at the end of the ministry’s driveway. The people in the car were
frantically looking for him, apparently nervous about something. He walked to
the end of the driveway and noticed his father, who beckoned him to come with
them. His father acted as though he was there for a visit. His father began
driving at very high speeds down the highway. Christopher noticed two other
people in the car besides his parents: his aunt and a middle-aged man that he
did not know.
Christopher was taken to a hotel about one hour away from his A.C.M.T.C.
home. As he soon found out, his parents—Martha (Marty) and Glen S.—had
hired Rick R. to “deprogram” him. Rick R. is a self-avowed “cult catcher” and
“deprogrammer.” [A “deprogrammer” is like an interrogator who uses
“brainwashing” techniques to supposedly “un-brainwash” an individual.] To
make matters even more interesting, and to show the INTENTIONAL
CONSPIRACY TO TERRORIZE AN ADULT CHRISTIAN MINISTRY MEMBER,
Mr. Rick R. was accompanied by none other than MS HERSELF!
Christopher became the target of mental abuse and physical testing for a
couple of very, very long, dark days. He was interrogated, harassed, and
mentally molested from morning till night.
On the third day, Christopher almost had to force his way out of the hotel
room, but he managed to escape without a physical struggle. Thank God, he
made it safely back to his home at the ministry.
This was a blatant attempt to kidnap and brainwash a member of the
A.C.M.T.C. I will leave the reader with two main questions:
1. Why did MS base her lawsuit around the idea that she was forcibly confined
and brainwashed, and then proceed to take part in a scandal to forcibly
confine and brainwash a member of the A.C.M.T.C.? (Note: All the facts and
eyewitness testimonies prove her allegations wrong and show her to be the
real criminal.)
2. Who is obviously DECEITFUL, IRRATIONAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
CRIMINAL? The A.C.M.T.C., who prays for their persecutors? or the
accusers, who PREY on ministry members?
———————————
NOTE: In January of 2000, the ministry’s quiet northern New Mexico home was
raided by a storm of policemen, led by Special Agent Pete B., who where there
to take away all the children. The entire procedure was illegal. However, thank
God, the children were not home at the time, and eventually, God showed forth
His favor and THE COURTS DECLARED THE A.C.M.T.C. INNOCENT IN
REFERENCE TO ALL ALLEGATIONS THAT HAD INCITED THE RAID. For
more details on this attempted kidnaping of our children, see the article entitled
“The Other Side of the Story”.
———————————
Also NOTE these points:
1. The A.C.M.T.C. still has confessions from Don L. on file, and you may read
them in his letter to the Generals posted below.
2. Martha (Marty) S., Christopher’s/Brad’s natural mother, chose to join the
camp of accusers and has fought against the A.C.M.T.C. for years. She has
been one of the most tireless in her efforts to aid MS and the rest of those
who want nothing less than the complete DESTRUCTION of the ministry.
3. For more details on Christopher’s kidnaping, request a copy of his testimony,
which was published in our Battle Cry Sounding newspaper, issue 130, 1995.
As a Christian ministry, A.C.M.T.C. continues to pray for those
who have persecuted and continue to persecute the ministry.

Don L.—Turned Away and Back Again
LT. DON L. finally ended up in the Vacaville, California State Prison for mental
prisoners. We all regretted his actions against ACMTC, and so does he.
The following letter is one of several (I can’t find the others right now) that
were written after he had spent some time in prison. Apparently he broke parole
and the police once again were looking for him. This was several years ago.
We’ve heard nothing out of him since.

If only more backsliders would REPENT and CONFESS THEIR SINS and EXPOSE THE LIES as Don did!
UPDATE— DON L. DIES
(Late October 2007)
WHEN WE TALKED to Don over the phone several weeks prior to his horrible
death, he again apologized to both the Generals and all ACMTC (and his two
grown children) for having told all the lies and done all the evil things he did TO
DESTROY US!! We had forgiven him years ago, but just lately he felt that he
was going to die and that he needed our prayers.
During our phone conversation, Don told us that he felt and didn’t think
that God would forgive him again for his backsliding (we personally led him to
the Lord 3 times ourselves). He confessed that he had a drinking/drug habit that
kept him backsliding. It was these substances that caused all his internal organs
to fail, especially his kidneys and liver. We’re not sure if he personally prayed
thru to God, for just several weeks after we had talked with him on the phone,
he laid unconscious in the hospital, dying quickly—they kept him alive on
machines for a few days until his grown son and daughter, who are still
members of ACMTC, got to his bedside...but it was too late for Don!! Don L. never did get to see them ever since the forced abduction he staged, which is
mentioned in the above article.
One of the BIG LIES that Don L. told, which Rick R. still carries on his website, is that
General Deborah prophesied that attorney Bob B. would die by being “smashed” by
a mack truck. This much publicized LIE has been read (and probably believed!)
by multitudes over the years. For the record, General Deborah DID NOT
prophesy Bob B.’s death as Don reported it to the media of those days. (Don did
apologize for his lie!!)
We’re sorry that Don L. had to die so young (in his early 40s) and that
he was USED by both MS (“peanutbutter princess”) and Bob B., her criminal lying
lawyer. We believe MS and Bob B. will both get their “just” rewards in God’s time—if not now, certainly in eternity.
