///kjv./ nt/ "...as wise as serpents...."// What
and who determines what constitutes a non-profit orginization?
The Tony and Susan Alamo Christian Foundation ,as of 1978 was
still non-profit ---in the eyes of the irs. // I know this
because of the letter -head "....a non-profit Calif. Christian
Organization..."// ,and by the postage rate --2.2› per envelope.
There have been investigations by the fbi ,irs and state governments.
One investigation was requested by the U.F.W. (united farm
workers). They asserted that the Foundation was a contractor ,and
that it was unfair ,because our members worked for nothing.
Even though members recieved wages ,they were required ...to "donate"....everything.
If this could be proven ,they...the ufw would have a case in the
contention that they were discriminated against in their standing with
federal agencies---in competition with so called "religious"
groups.../other names in the mix The Catholic Church
and The Children of God /
There is no hard-and-fast standard for determining what is religion
or what is non-profit. Part of it hinges on the idea of reinvestment
of profits into stated mission goals of the orginization--be it tv broadcasts
,free food ,council ,evangelistic activity ,radio, whatever--/
The money does not need to be spread out evenly through-out
any so =called organization. Some , certain % mustbe
plowed back into the group to carry on whatever mission it may have..
There are a number of groups that have prospered under these lose rules;such
as the Universal Life Church and the Unififation Church. The
case by the UFW collapsed due to lack of testimony. In the
past one investigation found the Billy Graham Crusade held stock
in ITT. Look back in time to the Catholic Church in Europe..
Cathedrals were built by labor ,donated by the faithful . The inquisition
,not only in Spain ,but much of Europe ,was against property holders,...wresting
their goods from them."//((a turn about...in small part .....was after
wwii..., the comunists of this century...faces enemies-- among them
property holders...the church and the mafia ///
The group headed by Jim Jones is simular to the Alamo Foundation in
a number of ways :total commitment; "GIVE YOUR ALL"
" GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER " "...the end is near!
" "the world is coming to an end"/.
"...anything that you call yourself is of the devil."/ fleeing the wicked
California ,Jones went to south america , the Alamos,
to Arkansas .
Religion is getting to be a big busness."// A vision
of hell by Dante : "THEY WHO OVERSAW THE TORMENTS.."---the
demons of hell,orginized into a sort of military orginization --with
over-welming hopelessness --of no escape /.
"I felt that at times at the Foundation ,partly because of the message...that
things will only get worse. "DESTRUCTION COMETH!"////////
The truth is,the end may be near ,...an end of sorts./ Computers
have been used to give odds on man's survival ,given past performance
;and the data given didn't look that hopeful! Man
seems intent on war every few decades. Fear of this is oft exploited by
religious groups to futher their goals "...WHO,THROUGH
FEAR OF DEATH ,WERE ALL THEIR LIFE SUBJECT TO BONDAGE."//
I was a part of a young group that would pump to.....;hell is open
and ready for all who questioned the leader's judgement .
As one brother said "They'll say to move from some area ,and if you
doubt and delay ,down comes fire from the sky and consumes them."//
This was one way,verbally ,to keep people..."on the path."/

INTRODUCTION ???
Tony and Susan Alamo say that they alone gave birth to the Charismatic
Movement ,and that others have tried to take credit for this..
"There was no one else out on the streets --no one! ;no one to take
the place of the lowlt Nazerine . All doors were closed No one was
out there to get out the Word. There was no place to get a bowl of soup."//
When did it all begin, the same time the Viet Nam war started l965
-1968 // Where was I? In The Los Angeles School
District... sais Susan.., "The churches had failed
God . There were churches on every corner ,but they were empty."/
By 1972 ,I had two years in the Army behind me (one in
Viet NaM and eight months in Canada as a deserter; I had been shot
at threatened with hatchet and knife,preached to ,arrested ,frozen ,ignored
,overdosed.// I met Dave Asky downtown L.A. one
April afternoon.I remember him ...in part because at the time
,he was wearing one earring--a one inch gold cross. His
words to me : "If you don't change your attitude ,you'll end
up in an eternal hell. "//My reply, "You take everything too
seriously."/ Two weeks later ,I was on my knees ,asking Jesus to
forgive my sins. I became a member of the Tony and Susan Alamo
Christian Foundation and continued with them until November , 1977.
I donated nearly all my earnings to the Foundation to
help finance getting out the word. I was particularly impressed
with Susan Alamo . In her own words to us,..."I look
good for a dead women." (she has terminal cancer affecting
all of her vital organs). When I arrived at the Foundation
six years ago ,the ministry was in a complete state of re-organization
,moving up from Hollywood ,out to the desert area ,near a small
town called Saugus . !00s of lost youths
were recieving food , clothing, shelter , and instruction;by 1973 ,the
Television show started and everything changed.
!975 came and the doors were closed to new members ,though
daily services were still held and free meals served. However, Tony
and Susan had by then had left California for Arkansas
to begin their new church there ....in Alma. Many of the original
members left with them ,leaving a nucleus of the original church
still in Saugus,Acton,Hollywood, and the Bakersfield area.
I REMAINED WITH THIS GROUP ....IN California till late 1977.
What I includw in this text is non-fiction. I may not agree with
all the opinions expressed. It just happened ,
who ,what where ,when. No story line is intended .
Asked Susan Alamo , "How do you know a true prophet of
God? If what he says comes to pass , he is of God."//
If Susan and Tony are true ,1984 ....,most Americans will never live
to see it."///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

At the age of twelve (1962....the year of the Cuba crisis)
I was active in the local Lutheran Church .. I
counted the money from each Sunday's collection,keeping alert
for rare coin types and dates.At age 13 ,I was confirmed as a member of
the Church. ,after some years of study,and months of Confermation

The early 1960s --Las Vegas-- Tony Alamo's personal testimony , "
I was really going through the fire . God tells me to go up on the roof

are you doing up there?" ----my reply,.."WHY

might I just add that ,though this text is copywritted and true,
yet it is only my recall of events and statements /errors are many
no doubt and there is no intent to present this except for
what it is--- unedited and a scatter-gun storyline // yet,I think
,that may be the best format to leave it in....as recall

have a young Indian boy ....which they had adopted. Said Tony Alamo . :This
boy told his vision to us---it was of this big foot ....crushing

a scab of a world -city.....poisoning all and everything...//note==world's

(early 1960s) Tony Alamo's personal testimony : "I didn't
have much wisdom in the old days ,just lots of zeal. I'd go to the newspaper

is coming back ,I'll kill you."//
(early 1960s) Nevada -- Tony's personal testimony: "Susan and
I had just finished praying to see some Ufo's ,when a whole squadron
came down on us ,so close that they almost ran us off the road ."
--- ".....ufos are celestrial beings sent to survey the earth for Jesus'
return." / "...God sends monsters to frighten people
into repentance ,because of the hardness of men's hearts."//

(early 1960s---)Says Tony Alamo, "Here was my little Susan (both
Tony and Susan are Jewish) preaching in this park ,to a group of
stiff-necked Jews. God was really coming down with his convicting
spirit. Then, the devil (a possessed man) came running up.....,right to
Sue and me. I pointed at him and said ,"The Blood of Jesus is against
you Satan!"---- At that moment ,a ballof fire left my hand
and struck him in the chest. It turned him around in mid-air and sent him
the other way."//
