Charity.
It's a common activity for most churches and one that the church, clergy and congregation look forward to performing. Charity is one of the purposes of any church. Neighborliness, acceptance, support and comfort are a few others purposes of a real church.
None of that was practiced at the Spiritual Rights Foundation and the Academy for Psychic Studies.
Those of us who were there know the church itself never gave to anyone. Not one nickel of Robin and Angela's pile of nickels, dimes and quarters were ever distributed to the needy. And those of us who have participated in this blog have stated that Spiritual Rights Foundation members who hit hard times are directed to the welfare office or given the locations of day laborer pickup spots before they are thrown out of their church-owned, rat-infested, dilapidated apartments.
But if there is no charitable activity at SRF, why then was the envelope passed around every time the faithful gathered? And what was that envelope for?
At times, the envelope was passed to raise money for worthy causes such as The Red Cross or other organizations. That happened, oh, I believe maybe ONCE. Or twice over the course of the twelve or so years I'll never get back.
Uh, anyway, the envelope was passed around for other, alternative worthy causes. Causes like:
- Bill Duby's birthday presents and party. And Bill Duby's un-birthday present. And Bill's near-birthday present. Or for Bill's it's not really his birthday, but since you have some extra money lying around we want it so Bill can pimp his Winnebago.
- Angela Silva's birthday bash and Queen-Sized present.
- Robin Dumolin's birthday party where she feigns modesty while scrutinizing the value of each present "voluntarily offered" her.
- The birthday of Bill's child - the one who has her father's mind and (at least, used to be) the heir-apparent of the cesspool. I hope when it comes to having her father's mind, it skips a generation.
- Farming equipment, feed, construction supplies, vehicles, upkeep, downtime, payments, under-the-table wages for the illegal immigrants working on the SRF farm - sorry, the "SRF farm" thing is incorrect. It's actually Robin Dumolin and Angela Silva's farm. I proved that in court conspiracy-heads.
And Bill until he thankfully dropped as dead as a fly soaked with RAID.
If the Spiritual Rights Foundation and Academy for Psychic Studies would have matched the donations made by the congregation, maybe it wouldn't be so bad....
Well, it wouldn't be if those donations were sent to Haiti for earthquake victims or to Appalachia so kids can go to a decent school or to their own city so the hungry and homeless may live with basic human dignity.
What we saw was an envelope stuffed full of the follower's hard earned cash. We saw how everyone was closely scrutinized as the envelope was thrust in front of them. The leaders never praised those who gave but shamed those who paused before they gave or used the money to buy groceries or replace worn-out shoes.
We saw how few prospered. We saw how only those who left the cult would own their own homes and drive comfortable but practical cars. We saw how those who remained lived in fear every month over when and how much would be demanded from them
The envelope. Thrust in front of every person. A psychic camera hidden inside, reading your "giving attitude" and frequently misinterpreting your need for personal survival or your need to reach a personal goal as not just wisdom or practical frugality, but parsimony, miserliness, selfishness and greed.
Ironically, those viewing the camera's image often said "what you read in a picture is your own dirty mental image pictures."
If their statement is true or even if they mearly believe that statement is true (with no need to prove it) what does it say about those behind the camera when they see parsimony, selfishness, greed?
And what does it say about Robin Dumolin and Angela Silva when they are the ones who have "seen" those "bad attitudes" among their followers?
And why is it that the only ones who have exposed greed, selfishness, laziness, parsimony, miserliness, vanity, wrath, envy, pride and overall unwelcome behaviors are the two women at the top?
I say: "he who smelt it, dealt it"
What other tales of greed, or stories of greed or recollections of more greed do you have? Did anyone else see through that psychic camera lens?
And (as disgusting as this image may be) did anyone see the empresses have no clothes?
Yes I remember the small house behind the big boulding, those two apartments on groundlevel. we lived in the left one, overlooking the parkingloot to the other apartmentboulinghouse. I remember so well. I had the small room in the back and Linda had the living room. I took care of tree children in that house in 1983-84. Those apartments were very shabby. The floor was broken and very old. It was kind of dirty. I remember there was a lot of trees in the back of those apartments and I tried to clean the windows but it very difficult to reach. It was really filthy. The kitchen was old and the stove broke several times and it started to smell gas in the apartment. Lots of small rats there too. It was not a nice place for small children to play on that floor. The other students and ministers used to park their cars in front of those apartments. Then Bill decided to bouild a hot tub there and a sauna. I remember that I only used the hot tub once. I was so tired woorking almost all the time and not being able to have enough food, sleep or exercise.
ReplyDeleteI remember that Angela helped Linda to go to the wellfare office when we where out of food after Michael had stolen her money that her mother had given her. Michael just left with his new woman and it seemed that he did not contribute very much after that. I think he just took care of his children mabye once a month and many times just the oldest child, Peter. I do not understand how a woman like Janice could get involved with someone like Michael, he was married and had tree small children. He was not something special, but I guess that Bill said that he had some nice aura.
Anyway he bought himself a porche to drive around with togheter with Janice and he stole Lindas money. Oh god!
Well I just get tired and mad. There were so many stupid things that happend. I dont understand why Bill was so gready. He had a hot tub standing empty many nights in front of our apartments and Angie was there to, but we did not get to use the tub. He already got a lot of money from the family that I worked for, he should have been satisfied. This man could only create mental illness and poverty.
Hej Janehellen,
ReplyDeleteWow. I am surprised those apartments were so awful.
Well, actually I am not surprised really.
By the time I was hooked into this cult, the back apartments were the finest in the SRF shit heap. In fact, they were the only apartments SRF owned that didn't look dirty and crappy. Why? Because the residents were Bill Duby, Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin.
It's no surprise to see the backyard apartments get pimped and beautified for Robin and Angela.
One of these apartments is the very one Rev. Bill Duby had Liberty Construction renovate.
Well over $10,000.00 was spent on fake wood flooring, useless cedar planks in the closet and a steam room that was rarely used.
Bill and Angela never paid a penny.
Instead, Bill wanted it as a charitable contribution to himself and Angela.
Bill didn't use charm to get it. He just stood there and screamed at Steve Sanchez until Steve just couldn't take it anymore and did it to end the abuse.
I know. I saw it happen.
Bill, Robin and Angela have no room for charity - unless that charity is themselves.
Yes they renovated those apartments later, I know because I visited after I had left.
ReplyDeleteMichael was thrown out of SRF for playing "head games" so he was dead meat for some time. Then he bought a new house at Dana street just about two blocks from SRF and moved in with Janice.
Linda finished her education to becomer a minister and then I left, because I got a new job in S.F. and I thought she also would be able to make it better with a ministers degree. I thought that she would be working there and get some money from that. Instead she was thrown out because she could not pay. I heard that she had stolen about 500 dollars from SRF:s money and that Bill was angry with her, I consider it stolen from a gangster so I dont care, after all he did. Any way she had no where to go except back to Michael and she had to move in togheter with Michale and Janice. I dont know what to say.
After many years I visited the bay and Michael had got two children with Janice and he had a new woman, a tird one that he had one more child with, also he had one more child with Linda inbetween the two he had with Janice. The man is a rabbit.
Anyway after Linda had moved out the aparment was renovated and Angela moved in, that is what happend.
Im so happy Im not there anymore, and that I got my ass out of there. I dont think that any position there would have been favorable for me. Big distress, poverty and misery.
