Greeting in Jesus holy name, I have been watching over the interacting
statements, remarks and I really don't quite know where to start. I realize
that there has been much oppression throughout all of our involvement with
the Overcom(her) ,RG Stair, Canady's farm, voice of last day prophet.
While
I lived there I also experienced many good relationships with the brothers.
I can not speak for everyone because I could only be in one place at a time
and so with that I shall continue my report. Usually I was always out and
about the grounds before and after going to working outside the farm at my
refrigerator shop. Before going off to work to my shop, I would check or
maintain the walk in refrigerator freezer that I had built with other men
months before. I was in charge of getting it functioning and was told to
keep it going and for the first 5 years I did. Many have put a dollar figure
on it to total $20,000 . Just one electric motor at 7 horse used to power
the compressor came to $500. After having this commercial refrigerator
finished off in detail our brothers Stair of course began showing it off
as our tribulation storage. Stair wanted it designed to keep food cold
after only running it for 2 hours a day he said. I was not an engineer but
between Kirk Higbee and I, we actually made from calculation the hot
coil and the cold coil to pass freon. The box is a custom job that is very
impressive and could have only been completed by 10-15 different men. Stair
began to show it to everyone who came to the farm. Everyone would look at
it and say that it was nice and wondered did it cost less to run or more per
square foot. Well I don't know about that because you never get something
for nothing and that is what I said in reply.
Soon some of the other
community leaders came and while they were visiting liked the idea of
one big box instead of 8-15 little one's setting around everywhere. Pastor
Roberts like the thought so well that he found a used frig-freezer that was
mostly only a metal shell of a building with doors and parts for freon too.
At the time none of his men had a certificate to handle the gas and this is
where I entered the picture. Stair sent me to Victory and I lived there
while rebuilding this walk in refrigerator. Pastor Roberts directed me to
see the brothers that could help and gave me the thousands of dollars needed
to pay for all the pieces.
Now I was staying at Victory and observed the
life of the children , mom's and dad's. It was far different there because
at breakfast there were only a few men folk and mostly women and children
and I mean lots of children. Pastor Roberts displayed his love for all the
children as they would sit with him come over to him that he might hold them
in his arms. It became clear to me that this man Roberts who has never had
any children had a great desire for helping these young families and in
return they shared their hearts of love together.
You might say Oh brother
Michael everybody does that on the surface but I am not a fool and I do know
when a person is putting on or nice to my face only and everyone was very
kind to one another there. This place was far different then Stair's, each
person had there own house and wives and children and job's and money and
freedom to go hear and there WOW. This was unreal seeing them come and go
just like you would in a community down the road. After I show you Victory
then I will show you the difference with money at Stair's farm.
Stair always
bashed Roberts behind his back for having so many fun things for these mom's
and children to do. These families gave Pastor a portion of there money from
working to get things for others who had needs. They help each other and yet
they all have a say in matters and no one is a slave to anyone. These men
agree and spend there money on what they agree on. One thing the young men
did was to build a two story library gym or hall for extra classes and many
other things. Out side you will find a large basket ball court with great
lighting polls and this will keep the young men in shape. Stair would blast
Roberts after finding out about some new fun thing they had just built or
bought and called Victory a recreational park.
Like I said not to many know all of the facts about how Stair was causing
division but this was one of them. On occasion Pastor visited our farm and I
was glad to see him and could not understand that stair was not glad about
him coming. One day I asked how is pastor he replied oh he's pastor Roberts
and I could tell he was not a favorite. I liked Victory in every way and
Pastor played ball with us too, while just over the way the sisters had a
great volley ball net and game going. This took place at the end of the
normal work in the course of a day. To me this seemed a relief to be at
Victory away from the other atmosphere in Canady's yet not knowing at the
time why. I had to pay child support at the time so Pastor gave me a few
hundred and I was amazed because this was not required and yet I needed it
so I blessed him and received it with joy.
Roberts is always working either
laying block for a new building for someone or for victory or building
something to make life better for his big family with all those kids LOL. At
Victory many times saints have disagreed with Roberts and they do not throw
each other off their land because of spats. Men and women at Victory
feel safe and do not make threats about a person going to hell over every
little item. Victory has a board where other men keep each other in check.
Deacons, bishops and elders are what you will find at Victory. Victory victory shall
be mine all mine Victory Victory shall be mine well if I hold my peace and
let the lord fight all my battles Victory Victory shall be mine. God bless
Victory Community.
PS Roberts is being used to help heal the hurts of two of the most recent
victims they live there.
More coming when I get ready, Maranatha, all my
love Michael
