- RainhadoCanto4 (7 seconds ago)(my YouTube channel) I have just gotten the following message
- at 9:28pm, on Monday, Nov. 8, 2010, from: oneinlife67 has sent you a message: "You are sick "Are you on alot of medication ??? You are a delirious old owl who does nothing but criticize people if they don`t agree with your stupid philosophy. I wonder what you are taking that is a psychotic medication ??? You are pathetic, a totally pathetic, sick woman. and NO Christian either." I am going to forward this message to YouTube, for I am willing to bet it turns out that it belongs to Matthew Furan, who has just opened this account to send me this message!! It is you who is mentally ill!! SPIRITUALLY CORRUPT!! MORALLY BANKRUPT!! This will look real good when an investigation is made into ALL your dealings!! KEEP 'EM COMING BUDDY!!
UPDATE, Nov. 8, 2010, at about 6:00pm:
JUST REMEMBERED TO ADD SOMETHING ABOUT THE SOUL-WINNING REMARK!! These the paragraphs in red on the matter, 3/4 of the way down!
Anyone who has kept up with my posts on this my blog knows that I do not believe in coincidence. In my life these have ALWAYS proven to be the artful hand of God arranging life for me! Therefore, when finally I reached into my Spam folder last Saturday, I was more than certain of it and extremely amused: there was not one, not two,... but three emails from Matthew Furan, of Calvary Baptist Church of Niagara, most appropriately deposited in it!
Two had not a subject specified, but the third made the claim: "Thought that you woulc enjoy reading this."
Misspelling and all, I thought I'd look it up first, and I burst out laughing!! The vermin!!
What a shame that there be fools who do not know to quit while it remains healthy for them! This fool keeps giving me ammunition with which to plaster him all over, time and again! And here he wishes that I eliminate what I had written previously!! Like,... it never happened?
Such "history" books are very much available in Iran and the like, but not here in the USA, praise God!
Even if I were not a Bible Believer, even if I were not a Christian, one thing of which I would be so admiring is that God does not "revise" the history of what has taken place with His people: the bad and the ugly remain in it, BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH, and unfortunately the very points with which non-Christians attack us.
Anyway, here a brief telling of what "Revisionist History" is:
The following taken from "How Revisionist History Works," by Cristen Conger.
"Retracing recorded history can be more like navigating a minefield than pleasantly strolling down memory lane. That's because the past isn't always as simple as the initial version of the story would have you believe. Revisionist history is complicated by the fact that people's identities are strongly linked to their histories; challenging long-held claims about past events draws criticism and controversy. The field itself isn't cut and dry -- revisionist historians work from angles. Often, revisionist history is from one of three major perspectives:
- "Social or theoretical perspective to re-examine the past through different lenses
- "Fact-checking perspective to correct the record of past events
- "Negative perspective that views revisionism as an intentional effort to falsify or skew past events for specific motives"
It is evident that the relating of events that are not personal may require corrective measures in order to "get the story right!"
The same does not happen when it is that one, who has absolutely no trouble comprehending the language, relates events that are EXPERIENCED PERSONALLY, and the "tweaking" then is attempted by others for the SOLE PURPOSE of not exposing their misdeeds to the world!
Better yet, they wish that whatever "report" written be completely deleted, an entire chapter of one's life brushed off anyone's mind, hidden from the 20/20 lens of the truth,... for the sake of protecting their phony existences and having others remain lulled through deception!
AGAIN, anyone who has kept up with my blog has, and can see it in many posts, throughout, in which I relate what I know to have been my exhaustive search for truth! It was July of 1999 with my son's death that I came to realize that things were just not so right in my relationship with God. I did not quite know Him! I took him for granted!
By that time I had been a Roman Catholic for 52 years: the typical RC who went to church yet believed not in much of what this "faith" taught! In effect, a "smorgasbord Catholic" as I referred to myself many a time! Since the mid-nineties I had also been singing with the Lutheran Chorale, a most marvelous experience ever in my life that I so enjoyed until our marvelous director quit, and I, shortly afterward, for it was just not the same anymore! Our most memorable concert was "Let there be light" sometime early this decade of 2000, I singing as a 1st Soprano.
The Chorale had its name only because it met at a Lutheran Church, in Buffalo, having no other association with it, although a couple of its members were also members in the Chorale.
By September of 1999 I decided to go to a Bible-believing church, the Niagara Frontier Bible Church, when under Pastor Gilbert, of which I had learned through my deceased son's best friend. Mind you, I knew NOTHING about Bible translations, etc., etc., at the time! Not one thing! I was as raw as I could be. I KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Here really began my search, especially when Pastor Gilbert had me read the New Testament, straight through, and not as the "out of context verses" taken out as done in the Roman Catholic Mass, the ONLY exposure a Catholic ever has to the word of God, where it is manipulated aplenty to fit the "theme" of the Mass that day. Pastor Gilbert was the kindest and gentlest person, but, I was still not quite happy there at NFBC.
I had Chorale friends who belonged to an Episcopal Church, and so I went to it. Oh! I loved "evoking" the "tradition" it presented! I felt at "home," but... this "faith" was embroiled in scandals, etc., and when it became clear what their view on Cremation was (my son was cremated - I just wrote a post on it Is Cremation Biblical?), I left it!
By now I had been reading my NASB version of the Bible religiously, together with a very nice devotional "A Closer Walk," by Bruce Wilkinson, that Pastor Gilbert had given me years before! I'd added to it another devotional made available at NFBC, "Our Daily Bread," to which I subscribed and faithfully got through the years.
On my way to Walmart I'd pass a Methodist Church. Indeed, I missed not having a church! So I thought I would try it. It was after the holidays! It was soon after Feb/March in which ISI (International Students Inc.) visitors to the church had made a plea to have people volunteer to help foreign students. Well, having been one myself at one time, I called to offer my services.
I was "matched" with this most beautiful Indonesian girl, the sweetest thing, I can honestly say, I have ever met! She, Elizabeth, has been and is a real blessing in my life!
At the time, she was going to the Main St. SUNY campus, and attended the neighboring Roman Catholic church, St. Joseph's, where she sang in the choir. She has a most beautiful voice! The church, together with many other churches, were putting on a concert of sorts, which she wished I would attend.
By then, and now we are in 2005, just the thought of entering a Roman Catholic Church filled with idols made me quite queasy, but in our many talks she had told me this church DID NOT have these! And that was very true, at least then. THEY HAD NO IDOLS IN IT, with the exception of a grouping of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, if I am not mistaken! Having spent my entire life around statues I was in literal shock! What a pleasant surprise this alone was!
Prior to that time I had never attended a multi-church function that was so very well organized and so big. NFBC, itself, had had a praise service at CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH OF NIAGARA, when I had there been years before!! SPEAK OF COINCIDENCES!
Elizabeth introduced me to Mark Weber who was the organizer, etc., next to whom I had a saved seat. I told him of my wonder about one such event and of my pilgrimage through many churches, my amazement at what I saw and DIDN'T SEE in that beautiful church! I thoroughly enjoyed an evening of great talent singing praises to God! It was a heck of a memorable event I still recall with much fondness for my very talented Elizabeth sang a most beautiful solo in it! (I have gone to her other choir-group concerts, the last having been at Rockwell Hall, Buffalo, some three years ago!)
Elizabeth told me later that I was "featured" in an article written about the concert at St. Joseph's, and sent me a copy of it, which I found very flattering.
Now lets fast-forward to when I went into my Spam folder, and found the three emails: two with "No subject" and one with the subject line "Thought that you woulc enjoy reading this." (copied verbatim!) sent by Matthew Furan!
And, lo and behold, there is the article in print! Here is the email in full, JUST AS HE SENT IT, BOLD PRINT AND ALL, which he sought to highlight!
Thought that you woulc enjoy reading this.
Buffalo Catholics and Protestants Come Together For Historic Praise and Worship

Located on Buffalo's busy Main Street, right next to the University at Buffalo campus, St. Joseph's attracts all types of people from all types of backgrounds. Welcoming everyone, from atheists to Bible-thumpers, St. Joseph's is a community of faith drawing thousands on a weekly basis from all over Western New York. Young and old, rich and poor, students and professors, Catholics and evangelicals, black and white: they're all there, focusing on Jesus Christ.
But what makes St. Joseph's unusual, besides having a family-like, multi-cultural, multi-lingual constituency, is this: a predominantly white Catholic church is singing black Pentecostal gospel music.
Dr Jackie Peoples, a black woman who sings like Aretha Franklin, is the director of St. Joseph's University Contemporary Music Ensemble. Tim Wells, a white man who composes original music used at St. Joseph's, joins Peoples as they both play pianos on the altar every Sunday at 11:30am Mass. Behind them are about 30 singers, along with a drummer, bass player, and the occasional bongo, flute, guitar or sax soloist.
The Contemporary Music Ensemble (or CME) is known for its rousing renditions of "This Little Light Of Mine", "Oh Happy Day", and "Lord, I Lift Your Name On High". Songs by gospel legends Andrae Crouch and Richard Smallwood are prominently featured, as well as music from Kirk Franklin and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. The CME also sings classic hymns and old Negro spirituals.
With so much talent gathered in one place, it made sense to reach out to people using music. So Pastor Jack Ledwon, an accomplished musician himself, agreed with the CME that a praise and worship night would be something great, not only for the parish, but also for the community.
Catholic churches are not known for praise and worship nights. But St. Joseph's held one, Saturday, April 23, 2005, and the large church was filled to capacity. More than 700 people came together from all sorts of diverse backgrounds to sing praises to the Lord. The event received coverage in local papers like The Buffalo News and Artvoice, helping attract hundreds of people who had never been inside the walls of St. Joseph's before.
Helga Hickman, a first-timer from Niagara Falls, New York, said, "I'm a mutt. Methodist, Lutheran - and I never thought I'd see a concert like this in a Catholic church. It's amazing. I can't wait to tell all my friends about this place."
The praise and worship night opened with Absolute Praise, a group of singers and musicians from Greater Refuge Temple, a Protestant congregation in Buffalo. They sang songs like "Trading My Sorrows" and Israel Houghton's "I Lift Up My Hands". The congregation was encouraged to lift their hands in the air (something not normally seen in a Catholic church in Buffalo) and they did!
Absolute Praise was followed by the CME, who were joined by members of area choirs (both Protestant and Catholic), including the young men and women of Canisius College, who got the crowd excited with the gospel song "Shabach".
The music of the night was truly diverse, and included songs like "I'm Looking For A Miracle", "It Is Well With My Soul", "My Help", "Through It All" and "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow".
The evening also included a testimony time, when one woman told how God saved her daughter's life.
Toward the end of the evening, the CME presented Pastor Ledwon with a framed piece of art, saying, "Thank you for letting us do the kind of music not normally heard in a Catholic church in Buffalo."
The first praise and worship night at St. Joseph's proved to be a wonderful time when people came together with Jesus as their focus. After a reception in the church's community room, many attenders left asking, "When's the next one?"
ChristianMusicMonthly.com calls St. Joseph's "one of Buffalo's most vibrant and culturally diverse churches." St. Joseph's continues to build bridges between Christians of different denominations, as well as be a place where those who are seeking a spiritual home can feel welcomed and loved.

Matthew Furan
This poor DEMENTED SOUL has no more to do than to case the Internet in search of items about me!! WOW!! I am amazed that one such idiot be in the position he is! I am even more amazed that God had me see through one such despicable character soon enough!
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS "REMINDER" TO EXPOSE ME, I AM SURE, FOR TODAY I WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD AT ONE SUCH "ECUMENICAL" GATHERING!! AS NEITHER DO I USE ANY MORE THE NASB! AS NEITHER DO I CARE FOR "THE DAILY BREAD" DEVOTIONAL!! AS NEITHER DO I, ANY LONGER, USE THE HERETIC BRUCE WILKINSON'S DEVOTIONAL!
I HAVE MATURED!!
I AM NO LONGER RAW OR LUKEWARM!
I AM FULLY-COOKED, ON FIRE FOR THE LORD!
WHAT A SICK INDIVIDUAL!!
A VERY, VERY, VERY SICK INDIVIDUAL!!
Had this sick soul looked, he would have seen me to have tried it all in my long pilgrimage, EVEN THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!! I HAD THIS NEED TO LEARN! And learn I did that this is a cult! (Much like what Matthew Furan of Calvary Baptist Church of Niagara would like to have!)
I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!!
only to find a HYPOCRITE like you!
YOU ARE SO VERY FILTHY, MY BLOOD CURDLES AT THE THOUGHT OF WASTING MY TIME ON YOU ANYMORE!!
BE GONE, SATAN!!
I am sorry I wasted so much money investing in that duplicator which I could l never use, WHICH WAS BOUGHT SO I COULD USE IT!!
It was bought for the sole purpose of spreading the word of God, but you could not afford to have "strangers" anywhere near any proof of your misdoings with the church's financial records, could you?!
And so it just sat there, a stand-alone 5-cd/dvd duplicator [correction: a 6-cd/dvd duplicator] which could have been set up anywhere, EVEN IN THE LOBBY! I EVEN ADDED 200 blank CD'S FOR THAT PURPOSE, SO EAGER I WAS TO BEGIN THE SOUL-WINNING I HAD BEEN PROMISED WOULD BE DONE!
Well, even God repented in doing good! I certainly regret having invested those $334.84, TO THE CENT!! I wish I had sent it to BereanBeacon whom I had promised I would be able to duplicate his DVDs with the machine, for him to distribute at Cornell's GODLESS University!!
INDEED, ONLY DURING THAT WEEK!
It was that week that I decided to join, for seeing such zeal! I had so very much to accomplish through a duplicator like that! I had, in the past, ordered a total of 200 DVD's just for the purpose of revealing the truth of God's word!
IT IS ALL HERE, IN THIS BLOG!!
Once Vacaton Bible School ended and they left, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO SOUL-WINNING IN WHICH YOU WERE INTERESTED, ALTHOUGH YOU HAD TOLD ME YOU WOULD CONTINUE SUCH! You were going to TEACH about it!
YOU ARE DAMNED TO GO TO HELL, I HAVE NO DOUBT, FOR YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN SALVATION, AT ALL!
THERE ARE PLENTY OF STATISTICS REGARDING THE LIKES OF YOU, AND IT IS TO HELL THAT YOU WILL GO FOR YOU ARE NOT SAVED! THESE YOUR EMAILS SHOW ALL JUST WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART, AND IT IS FILTHY GREED FOR LUCRE!!
NO SAVED SAINT BEHAVES IN THE WAY YOU HAVE!
YOU ARE MOST MATERIALISTIC: WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART IPHONES, THE BOTH OF YOU, HUSBAND AND WIFE, IN A CHURCH WHICH MEMBERSHIP DOESN'T EVEN NUMBER 20, MOST OF WHICH ARE ELDERLY, AND HAVE BELONGED TO THE CHURCH DOZENS OF YEARS BEFORE YOU EVER GOT THERE, YET YOU HAVE TO HAVE STATE-OF-THE-ART IPHONES, BE CONSTANTLY ON THE INTERNET,... ON FACEBOOK!...
I HAVE 51 emails SENT BY YOU IN THIS ONE SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, every one of them from your iPhone, except for these last three, which were done so very late at night!!
You have time for so much nonsense, redecorating the entry with a couch, taking away historical pictures off the wall, removing the beautiful history of a church that started as a tent!! THIS WITHOUT EVER HAVING CONSULTED WITH THE MEMBERSHIP! You do as you please, and when you please! THE VERY SYMPTOMS IN A CULT LEADER!!
You are not happy with the beautiful and very useful CEILING-TO-FLOOR, WALL-TO-WALL shelving in your office, and are going to take it all down!! "It's all coming down," you said, proudly! THAT IS CRIMINAL!! IRRESPONSIBLE!!
BUT, YOU NEVER HAD TIME TO SEND JITHIN, MY NEW KING JAMES BIBLE BELIEVER YOUNG FRIEND, THAT PROMISED MISSIONARY CONTACT IN KERALA, INDIA;
NOR TO FIND A MEANS BY WHICH I COULD SEND MY BROTHER A KING JAMES BIBLE!
Both items promised by you! No! You are on Facebook and your iPhone, INCESSANTLY!
Three emails you sent in response to an email about Jithin, PROMISING to give him the missionary contact, but, YOU DID NOT!!
AND DON'T EVEN THINK OF NUMBERING THE DEATH OF MEMBER'S FAMILY, AS AN EXCUSE FOR BEING BUSY!! SUCH DID NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL THE WEEKEND AFTER I LEFT!! YOUR "INFORMANT" JAMES WAS READY WITH ONE SUCH EXCUSE FOR ME!! TELLING HIM TO LIE, TOO, AREN'T YOU, USING MINDS THAT HAVE NO CAPACITY TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES! Another requirement for the success of a cult!
YOU BOTH ARE A MOST SELFISH AND SELF-SERVING DUO, YOU AND BARBARA!!
TO NOT EVEN MENTION JEAN WHO "SACRIFICIALLY" ENDURED THE PAIN OF PLAYING THE PIANO WHEN SHE WAS DUE FOR HIP-REPLACEMENT SURGERY THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY, OCT. 4, YET, NEITHER COULD THINK OF ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR HER THAT LAST WEDNESDAY I WAS THERE! I EVEN TURNED TO BARBARA AND ASKED ABOUT IT DURING THE SERVICE, AND S T I L L, STILL, NO BELL RANG IN THAT SELFISH HEAD OF HERS, EVEN AS SHE PLAYED THE PIANO!!
OH, BUT BARBARA'S FAMILY whose last names begin with an "M" TO INCLUDE ERIC, WAS FIRST IN THAT MAMBO JUMBO PARAGRAPH SEPARATED BY SEMI-COLONS SHE CALLS A LIST OF "PRAYERS NEEDED," "SALVATION NEEDED," "SPECIAL NEEDS," ETC.., MENTIONED IN EVERY ONE OF THEM! COULDN'T MISS THOSE NAMES IF ONE TRIED!! HOW DISGUSTING!! YES, SUCH NAMES CAME FIRST FOR IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO READ BEYOND THAT FIRST LINE THAT BLENDED INTO THE FOLLOWING ONES!!
GEE, HERE I HAD MENTIONED MY BROTHER IN NEED OF THE SAME, SALVATION AND SURGERIES DUE, AS HAD DAWN ABOUT HER HUSBAND!
I wish I had seen that "Prayer list" before, but, Barbara was "too busy" and could not produce one. An elderly member had to complain about it, and that the only reason it was produced that day and I got to see it. I did not pay attention to it the previous Wednesday, THE FIRST TIME, when it was distributed at the beginning of services and I forgot about it!
AND HERE I HAD BEEN OFFERING TO HELP IN THE OFFICE EVER SINCE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL IN MID-JULY!!
WHERE, YOU HYPOCRITE, DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT THE PASTOR'S FAMILY ARE LEADERS BY DEFAULT??
WHERE?????????????????????????
INDEED, YOUR "INFORMANT," James, WAS VERY WELL-INDOCTRINATED IN WHAT TO SAY TO ME WHEN IT IS THIS MEMBER SUDDENLY ASKS TO MEET ME FOR LUNCH!! TO PLEAD YOUR CASE, WHICH I CARED NOT TO DISCUSS WITH HIM, YET...!
YOU ARE DISGUSTING!!
Yet, when I asked him how long had he been at Calvary Baptist Church of Niagara, he tells me he was BAPTIZED there back in February or March of 2009!!
Well, here a bell rang quite loudly!!
At the time of the third installment of the King James Bible series you had begun, Dave was not there to record it. I remember showing you my displeasure about it when you came down from the pulpit, inquiring could someone else not have done so. I know I could!
JAMES HEARD THIS, AND STATED HE COULD HAVE DONE SO!!
YOU NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED THIS, AND JUST WALKED ON!!
So after all had left, I pointed to how you had just ignored him! Your response to me: "I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE NEW PEOPLE UP THERE!!!"
Not knowing much about James up to that time, upon hearing this I thought he was new and not a member, since he was not there at "emergency meeting" that Sept 29th.
SO IT IS THAT I AM THE NEW MEMBER YOU WOULD NOT HAVE CARED TO HAVE UPSTAIRS DOING ANYTHING!! And, since you have insisted on connecting the duplicator to the computer, it is a fair assumption that I WAS NEVER EVER GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO MAKE ANY DVD's, etc., of which YOU well knew I wished to record, especially about the Inquisition in which NFBC would not aid.
JAMES HAD BEEN THERE A FULL YEAR AND A HALF, AND STILL YOU WOULD NOT HAVE HIM WORK UPSTAIRS WHERE THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR MISDEEDS IS KEPT! YOU CAN'T AFFORD FOR ANY ONE OTHER THAN THE DEACONS AND YOUR SONS HANDLE THE MONEY!!
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW JUST HOW INVOLVED ARE THESE DEACONS IN YOUR CORRUPTION! I STILL REMEMBER, AND CAN PLAY IT BACK IF NEEDED, HOW CHARLIE STATED THAT THE FINANCES COULD NOT BE DISCUSSED WITH EVERYONE!! WHY NOT?? THERE SHOULD BE FULL DISCLOSURE, FULL TRANSPARENCY WHEN IT IS THAT I AM GIVING MY MONEY! I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH IT!!
I HEREBY DEMAND $334.84 refunded to me!
IMMEDIATELY!
I had intended to get it back at the time I was to meet with you that Thursday morning, but you had to call Phillip **, draw out of him all you could, reason why I could no longer trust that even if I got it back, it would not be damaged, FOR YOU ARE THAT TYPE OF SLIME!! Then, after I having refunded the $100.00 gotten from Nancy Gambino (after much thought and wait!) as well as the $200.00 gotten from Phillip's dad (Phillip, himself, to never have made good in his promise to contribute), I would have the machine temporarily at my home, doing what I had planned, and then ship it to Dave Flang who would put it to good use in his ministry!
INDEED, IT WAS WEEKS BEFORE I FINALLY SAW YOU FOR THE DECEIVING GOSSIP THAT YOU ARE! INDEED, YOU WANTED ME TO GIVE "MORE" IN THE COLLECTION PLATE, SACRIFICIALLY, AS YOU SAID FROM THE PULPIT, THAT WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 29TH, TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING OF MONIES THAT DID NOT BELONG TO YOU!
YOU HAVE THE CHURCH'S BANK BOOK AT YOUR DISPOSAL!!
I had to charge my share, ALL OF $266.00 FOR THE MACHINE, and the 200 CD's, envelopes and labels I bought, which came to total the $334.84 I invested in it, for I have not that kind of money!! I needed a computer, but, I invested in that machine, instead! AND I WENT WITHOUT A COMPUTER FOR ALMOST A MONTH during the same time period, risking my safety going to the Library to use the computer, even having to have asked for an escort to leave, so scared was I of the bunch of rowdy kids that was being told to leave at the same time!
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW JUST HOW SACRIFICIALLY IT WAS THAT I DID GIVE, BELIEVING I WAS GIVING IT TO THE CHURCH, AND NOT DIRECTLY TO YOUR POCKET!
SUBSEQUENT TO MY LEAVING, BECAUSE PHILIP RAISED THE QUESTION, I ASKED ANOTHER BAPTIST CHURCH IF THE COLLECTION PLATE WAS PASSED EVERY TIME THE MEMBERS GATHERED:
FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL;
FOR SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES;
FOR SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES;
AND, FINALLY,
FOR WEDNESDAY EVENING SERVICES!!
THEY REPLIED THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH!
NEITHER HAD I EVER SEEN SUCH GREED IN MY LIFE!!
I confess, I have not the patience to read your ramble, especially the last email when it is that FINALLY you make use of Scripture, but a couple of sentences caught my attention"
You say on the very first email of Monday, November 1, 2010 8:58 PM:
"For you to be so concerened about the finances and have no recordadable Tithe record.... is hypocrisy.. "
Well, buddy, why don't you ask YOUR SONS if I put anything in the plate, EVERY TIME IT CAME BY?! Besides, my sitting right up front gave you a good view of what I was doing!
Interesting that, considering that the "giving had increased due to the new people coming" (I to have been the ONLY NEW PERSON COMING REGULARLY!) the deacons voted, together with all the members, I INCLUDED!, to give you a hefty $600.00 / month raise!!
Disgusting that you could even bring yourself to mention this, when it is that you absconded with the invoice for the duplicator which I never even got an opportunity to see, which IS IN MY NAME, WHICH I SHOULD HAVE FOR MY RECORDS!! YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DECENCY!!
Matthew 6:3-4 (King James Bible)
"You should have told me! I have a number that would have saved you the tax!!"
The "tax exempt" number, of course!!
You who claim to want to "get out of the 501c3 tax clause!!
THAT YOU ARE A THIEF IS MADE EVIDENT WHEN IT IS THAT I ASKED, REPEATEDLY, FOR MY DVD BACK, "LAMP IN THE DARK," AND YOU NEVER RETURNED IT! YOU LACK ANY AND ALL SELF-RESPECT!!
YOU ARE OUT TO GET WHAT YOU CAN FROM OTHERS!! ALWAYS ASKING THAT WE GIVE ERIC SOME MONEY, SEND ERIC SOME MONEY, ETC.. "You can slip him a $50.oo bill!" I WANT TO THROW UP RECALLING SUCH BASE BEHAVIOR!!
I DID GIVE ERIC SOME MONEY BEFORE HE LEFT FOR BIBLE COLLEGE (A FAMILY BUSINESS IN THE MAKING?) FOR WHICH I NEVER GOT AS MUCH AS A THANK YOU! NO! A 'THANK YOU' IS NOT IN YOUR VOCABULARY!! YOU FEEL YOU ARE ENTITLED TO WHATEVER YOU CAN GET!
Furthermore, you mention asking for forgiveness! YOU DID NOT! YOU LIE FURTHER!
You state:
Do you know how one can tell that Matthew Furan LIES?:
It happens EVERYTIME he either moves his lips or tickles the keyboard to send a message!
What he did on Saturdays, I have no idea, but, on Tuesdays, every Tuesday at 9:00 am, he met with Phillip to "shoot the breeze" in his office for a few hours! Oh! Yes, Phillip did tell me that he, Matthew Furan wanted to do this and wanted to do that, NONE OF WHICH I EVER SAW DONE! He even claimed to Phillip that he liked my blog, and "had plans for it!"
Fact is, HE WAS NEVER SOUL-WINNING ON TUESDAYS!! HE HAD NOT TAUGHT ME ANYTHING as yet, as had been promised! THERE WAS A MACHINE WAITING FOR CD'S TO BE MADE FOR WHEN WE WOULD GO SOUL-WINNING WITH SERMONS RECORDED!! THIS NEVER HAPPENED!!
FURTHERMORE, he hands me a card given him by a visiting pastor, Matthew Smith, WEEKS BEFORE, and has me go BY MYSELF into what turned out to be a bad neighborhood! This the week before I quit! I was so scared, I couldn't even get out of the car, until I had circled various blocks and prayed with much fervor for God to protect me. He did! When I finally got courage to get out of the car, I approached the very filthy porch where suddenly there appeared a "lady" who had seen better days and seemed to be on something. I was to go to the apartment upstairs, and was pondering about my safety when, there comes FEDEX for the very same upstairs apartment! Oh! What relief when it was that the woman wasn't home!!
THIS DERELICT SOUL THE SHEPHERD OF ANY FLOCK??!!
And, when I attempted to return the card to him, he told me to keep it for some other time when he'd have someone go with me!! WOW!! WASN'T HE ANXIOUS TO GO SOUL WINNING!!!
I came to realize he had to have known that to have been a bad neighborhood, if it is that he even bothered looking at the address!! THIS MAN HAS NEVER CARED ABOUT SOUL-WINNING!!
Well, none of this should come as a surprise when it is that you, having been there for 2 1/2 years HAD NEVER EVER MENTIONED THE NEED FOR THE MEMBERS TO HAVE THE TRUE WORD OF GOD, THE KING JAMES BIBLE!!!
APPALLING, INDEED!!
And, I would like for you to see the "loving" result of your gossiping in church:
"Re: Fw: ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
OOOOHHHH!! I've got goose bumps all over!
Can't you just feel the love??!!!
Now, it needs be said this is an email I sent to many, requesting prayers for the election, and that I HAVE NEVER TALKED TO HER OR ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS EVENT AT OR FROM CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH, with the exception of Phillip, James, who you had contact me, and Charlie Slack (a deacon whose number I got by calling Joan Knowles, who had called me previously regarding the trip to Lancaster, and whose number was still on the ID caller I have - otherwise, there not being a directory, which I asked for, AGAIN, that last Wednesday evening... I would not have been able to call him!), whom I called when Phillip told me you had called him and he "let the cat out of the bag," and "pastor wants to meet me for lunch, tomorrow," the same day I was to meet you!
I called Charlie to relate all this to him, and ask for a meeting with the elders and you, he to have called you ("I am going to call him right now") to cancel my meeting with you, said he before hanging up with the promise of calling me back!! He never did! Your orders, no doubt!! By now you had made it clear you were not a trustworthy person, A COMPULSIVE CONSUMMATE LIAR, you had proven to be! You have the members of your cult well trained!
With Phillip's betrayal, I knew to protect myself, thus my conversation with Charlie is well recorded! Being a landlord, I have dealt with scum like you, before, and learned to protect myself!
For I change not what I say! EVER! But LIARS like you,... DO!
You have gone so far to even call Linda, my neighbor, offering to "pick up medication for her!" Oh! How sweet!! HOW IMPROPER!! She is NOT A MEMBER! YOU HAD NEVER CALLED HER BEFORE, I having toted her in with me a couple of times to church, she has a husband, has neighbors, has the pharmacy who will deliver, but you, MATTHEW FURAN, PRESUMABLY THE PASTOR OF A CHURCH wanted to do Linda favors. she having told me that you have called her several times!!
Now, why am I not surprised?! You are a low-life, and it shows!!
YOU ARE A MOST IMMORAL EXAMPLE, AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE IN THE POSITION OF A PASTOR! GO GET A REAL JOB, WHERE YOU NEED NOT SWINDLE PEOPLE AND CAN MAKE AN HONEST LIVING, ALBEIT THE TERM HONEST TO BE QUIET FOREIGN TO YOU!!
Romans 2:5 (King James Bible)
PS: As I said, I have lots to do with my life! I have a purpose! I am blocking your emails and will not receive any more of your garbage, which I care not to read! I have plenty to read that is edifying, and is what I choose to do! Should I not receive the requested refund, to include $25.00 or so that the DVD you kept cost me, it is I who will look further into suing you for it! And this should be the last I hear from you!!
I HAVE NO DOUBT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH COULD USE AN INVESTIGATION INTO ITS BOOKKEEPING ACTIVITIES BY AUTHORITIES!!

"Are you on alot of medication ??? You are a delirious old owl who does nothing but criticize people if they don`t agree with your stupid philosophy. I wonder what you are taking that is a psychotic medication ??? You are pathetic, a totally pathetic, sick woman. and NO Christian either."
I am going to forward this message to YouTube, for I am willing to bet it turns out that it belongs to Matthew Furan, who has just opened this account to send me this message!!
It is you who is mentally ill!! SPIRITUALLY CORRUPT!! MORALLY BANKRUPT!!
This will look real good when an investigation is made into ALL your dealings!!
KEEP 'EM COMING BUDDY!!
** Someone has asked who the Phillip I mention is.
ReplyDeleteAfter my distributing the 52 "The Real Bible Version Issue EXPOSED!!" DVD's at NFBC on May 30th, (see post of July 4, 2010,
"Answering Billy Crone IN AN EDUCATED, KNOWLEDGEABLE MANNER!!" Phillip wrote me an email.
He had been going there, as well as his dad, who is the one to have gotten the DVD that day. He inquired about a King James Bible only church! I told him about Calvary Baptist Church, to which I had not as yet gone, but that lists itself as such!
Yet, it was ONLY BECAUSE I INTRODUCED THE VIDEO that the members came to learn about the King James, members who had been using the NKJV, the NIV, and I have no idea what else!!
This when it is that Matthew Furan had already been there "PASTORING" for 2 1/2 years! I would like to say it doesn't get more disgusting than this, but I am sure, when it comes to Matthew Furan, it is the depths of Hell that be the limit!
A bit of trivia:
ReplyDeleteThe above Nancy Gambino together with her husband Glen and two sons had been going to Calvary Baptist Church for a while, all of whom used the NKJV in their attendance at Sunday School and Services!
In my very first visit to Calvary on July 4th, 2010, I happened to sit right behind them, and found this out. Gently I informed her that this was a perverted version, and told her I would be send her information regarding this.
This is when I posted "KJV versus NKJV" on July 6, and sent it to her.
They were incredulous about the "subtleties" and decided to get King James Bibles. Well, Matthew Furan now decides he will present her with one with her name inscribed, about which there was one heck of a fuss made!
Ain't he sweet! Here no one paid attention to the fact this "shepherd" had been most derelict in the handling of the word of God throughout the 2+ years he had been there!
One more bit of trivia:
ReplyDeleteI gave Matthew Furan the DVD gotten from Bryan Denlinger, "The Real Bible Version Issue EXPOSED!!" which I posted here that same month of July 2010, and asked would he show it to the congregation. He had known that I had previously distributed the 52 at NFBC.
It was a while before he viewed it and agreed. Although I only ordered 100, Brother Bryan generously sent me 110, thus, I had many left over. He asked for the DVD's to give to the congregation. He did ask what would they cost. Of course, I was charging nothing! Neither did Brother Bryan charge me for them, asking I give whatever I wished! He, and I, are more than happy to put them in the hands of people who may come to learn the truth about the word of God. He stated that viewing it had "inspired" him to conduct a series on the King James Bible.
Thus it was that the day it was shown, at the end of August, it was also distributed to all present by the pastor's sons.
Throughout it all, the announcing it, the viewing, the commenting afterward, etc., NEVER DID HE MENTION HOW HE HAD GOTTEN THE VIDEO, NOR WHO WAS ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE FREE DVD's that were distributed, free of charge, to all present, and subsequently to those who had not been present!
This from someone, I have come to find out, never fails to mention anything he does as a means to garner gratitude from others.
Today I see that the sermons preached by the two visiting pastors were very much tailored to this end, "appreciating what pastor does, giving him a helping hand!" Of course, they know not that pastor doesn't care to have "strangers" around where his family has domain, and were announced as "LEADERS" them all! Just how did the people go for this?!
BUT, that very day of the video viewing, he had come up with printouts of something I never saw, which he made available to those who wanted, and for which he CHARGED $2.00 each!!
A very tell-tale character sign, don't you agree?!
Well, I just got a call through Skype from a friend who told me Matthew Furan has closed his nasty YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/oneinlife67)!
ReplyDeleteOh! I guess having him blocked in every direction caused him to "miss out" on the "fun" of sending me idiotic messages!!
Such a moron! YouTube just notified me a couple of days ago that they had received my inquiry! Still awaiting their response!

It was interesting to see that while he had age as being 25 when he first opened the account, the idiot had a comment on his own channel stating that he was 67!
He had opened his account on Nov. 8, 2010, at about 9:00 pm.
It's all meticulously filed!!
