It's sad that "teacupsmommy" has to lie. I did have to pay rent. To prove it I can even provide the name of another church and the name of the Pastor of that church who paid money for my rent to NEBC for one month when I first moved into the church. I spoke face to face with the woman who left his church to go to the Church of the Nazarene. She told me herself that the pastor and at least one of his daughters called her a Whoremonger for leaving his church to go to that church. I don't know why she is stating that I complained about paying rent in my apartment and slept in a hallway! I can provide rent receipts to prove that I not only paid rent, but paid it 2 weeks ahead of time every single month! I was told by a member of New England Baptist church that after I was evicted, the pastor let an Atheist move in. He evicted me, a Christian, who did what most of his congregation members did not do: went passing out tracts in public 2 hours per week, and went to 3 church services per week. Then he lets an Atheist, who did not even believe in God move into the church. Do you see something wrong with this picture? I can provide the name of a pastor who in one of his sermons, mentioned Fundamental Baptist Pastors, and called them "Demented" To learn why he stated this, and to educate yourself, do a google search for:
"Fundamentl Baptists", cultic".

I'm here to rebut what James has said about Pastor Michael. I'm not a member of the church but here's what I do know. When James was living at New England Baptist Church, he was living rent free. In exchange for that, Pastor Michael asked James to pick up the bulletins in the church when the service was over. James refused. He called me to speak about the situation and called Pastor Michael a son of a b****.
I took a deep breath and told James that he was out of line. James doesn't like to work at all, doesn't like to spend money at all and is content to live off of other people. The funny thing is, at the time, I didn't particularly like Pastor Michael and thought he was a bit of a jerk. Having said that however, I have found Pastor Michael to be a giving person and he cares about those in his congregation. When my sister in law died, he and some members drove me to her wake in New Hampshire.
When my mother was moving and hadn't packed a thing in the house, one of the members came over and packed up the house in three seconds flat and didn't even mind that I had been cursing up a storm a few minutes before. I had a bed that Pastor Michael needed for someone in his congregation and he came to get it on the spot. That man will bend over backwards to serve and be like Jesus. James was upset that he couldn't use the ladies room to shower in and got angry that he got athlete's foot from the shower.
When James got an apartment, he complained about paying rent and refused to sleep in his bedroom but slept on a stair case in the house. James is selfish and thinks the world owes him a living. He went after Pastor Michael who had given him a place to live so he wouldn't be on the street and he refused to even pick up bulletins after the service. He is lucky he had a place to live but he isn't grateful for anything. I was in a congregation that Pastor Michael didn't particularly like and that caused us to disagree but he was always kind to me, never attacking and never maligned me at all.
James wasn't grateful that he had a place to stay at all and even though I didn't like Pastor Michael, I spoke up for him because James expected to live there without working for it.

I have dealt with Pastor Tom Michael and have heard him speak a number of times. Also, I know a number of the dupes who attend the Tom Michael dictator church. Pastor Michael is very dishonest. He tells blatant lies very often. He is very greedy. These two sinister attributes often control Pastor Michael.
I think Pastor Michael has a very cruel heart. I think Melissa is telling an honest account.

My name is Melissa O and Pastor Michael's and his cohorts beat me physically and mentally for 8 years, from the time I was 5 until I escaped when I was 13. Two months later, Pastor Michael's had a couple of his churchies kidnap and take me against my will to the Happiness Hills Christian Home and Academy, where beatings were handed out to me on a daily basis for 9 months. Pastor Michaels has been torturing and manipulating people for years and needs to be stopped. I wrote a blog once on myspace regarding the church and school. I would do almost anything to have this b*****d put in jail and his church and school shut down, within legal reason of course. I have tried for many, many years to have some resolution to all this and I have attempted to reach out to the media for years and nothing ever comes of it. I would talk to anyone who wants to listen. I can be reached at anytime at (((Redacted))) Pastor M's problem with me was I never bought into any of it. He tried to break me for years, but I'm tough as nails and he never was able to succeed. I hold him personally responsible for the death and demise of many people I grew up with. I challenged him in just about everything and just got beat for it. He violated my rights regarding my freedom of speech as well. He needs to be stopped. He's a sicko and belongs in jail. Sorry if this seems angry, but I just feel so close now to accomplishing my mission of having a media outlet listen.

A church is not needed to follow the teachings of Jesus. A church is not needed to do good deeds, and help your fellow man. If people would look inside themselves, and see what they can do to help others, instead of seeking out churches for "validation", I guess, they could do more good than by giving $20 to the collection plate, then going on their way to be cold-hearted and thoughtless to their fellow humans, every other hour of the week. God, Jesus, Positive Energy, Divine Forces - They are all around us, none are confined solely to a building with a statue or a name. If it isn't inside of you, you won't find it in a building, either. For all non-Christians, this isn't a slight to anyone. Love One Another - that crosses all boundaries, and needs no source, for the truth of it to be demonstrated.
