"Sorority whores and frat boy rapists"?!

[DRau]

I managed to answer my own question on further investigation.... The fact that someone would BRAG about this sort of this just reinforces this thread....

From one of the 'newsletters' on the site... Sorry it's long but my jaw was dropped the entire time I read this!!!!

You may have heard the rumor a few months ago that I spent five days in the slammer. I wish that I could say that it was not true but I cannot. Are you ready for a wild story?

The campus is Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It is one hour away from Export, Pa. I have preached on that campus at least four times. Each of the four times I have taken students from the Free Gospel Bible Institute with me. The first two visits the FGBI students and I had great meetings. On the third visit I was arrested by a campus security officer sporting a long black cape, a double billed hat and a long curved pipe calling himself “inspector.” Acting as my own attorney I beat the University in Court.

I returned this past October 5, thirteen years since my arrest. I was hoping that Sherlock would not be there. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst, I brought seventeen students with me, my family of four and Brothers Mike and Timothy Petit. We were armed with a video camera, an audio tape recorder and two photo cameras.

I began preaching and within fifteen minutes two squad cars came to the scene, one car was code three with lights and sirens a blaring. Out of this car came the “Inspector.” He walks up to me and basically arrests me on sight. After the inspector handcuffs me, two other officers try to grab the video camera from Brother Tim Petit who naturally recoils to protect the camera. My wife, Sister Bonnie, jumps in and takes the video camera from Brother Tim Petit. The officers grab the video camera from Sister Bonnie and arrests Brother Tim Petit for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Sister Bonnie begins to take photos with our photo camera that was strapped around her neck. Next, one of the officers threatens to arrest Sister Bonnie if she does not turn over her photo camera to him. Sister Bonnie begins to pray out loud for guidance. At this time Brother Trey Dickerson begins to preach resulting in the officers leaving Sister Bonnie and swarming to him stopping him from preaching. Sister Bonnie stealthfully leaves the scene and secures the photo camera in our truck in order to preserve the evidence. Then, one of the officers snatches Gospel tracts out of my seven-year-old daughter Gabrielle’s hands and prohibits my ten-year-old son Aaron from getting more tracts out of my briefcase.

No, this story does not stop here, it gets worse. The officers transport Brother Tim and me to the campus police station. They processed Brother Tim quite rapidly but they held me for three and a half hours in extremely tight handcuffs causing my left thumb to go numb. At around three thirty I was transported to the County Magistrate in order for him to set my bail. Before the Magistrate enters the Courtroom, Sherlock goes back into the Judge’s Chamber and fills the Magistrate’s head with lies. At three forty five on a Friday afternoon the Magistrate enters the Courtroom and sets my bail at five thousand straight cash. That left me with fifteen minutes on a Friday afternoon to collect five thousand dollars because the Court closed at four. So I went to jail until that next Tuesday because that following Monday was Columbus Day, a federal holiday.

Before I left the Courtroom I was able to give all of my possessions to Sister Bonnie. Miraculously, I was able to keep and transfer my audio tape recorder to Sister Bonnie. The tape recorder was in my front shirt pocket and somehow escaped not only the frisking by Sherlock but observation by all of the officers in the Campus Police Station. God may have made it invisible to them.

While in jail, I was given an orange suit to wear. We regret that we did not take a picture of me in my orange suit and brown church shoes. Throughout the five days, I witnessed to twenty to twenty five inmates. I earned their respect after the first basketball game. All of the basketball players were getting angry, cursing and verbally fighting with each other. We came back into the cellblock and an inmate, who brags how he does 1100 push-ups a day, sits across from me and says, “You don’t cuss, do you?” He did not even introduce himself nor was he outside playing basketball with us. We talked about cursing for five minutes when he asked me the next question, “You don’t drink, do you? Followed by his third question, “You don’t smoke, do you?” I talked with him for twenty-five minutes and ended with my personal testimony. Every one in the cellblock knew that I had ole 1100 push up man on my side if I needed him. Those criminals knew how Christians are to live. Another inmate, who professed to being a Muslim, sat down next to me and brought a King James Bible and a Quran. We had a Bible/Quran study right there in the cellblock. The next morning, the Muslim's cell mate told me privately that the Muslim, upon returning from our discussion the previous night, declared to the cell mate, that he was giving up on Islam. Glory!!

Sherlock ended up charging me with six different charges. Two of which were felony riot and felony wiretap. This is the very first time that I have ever been charged with a felony let alone two felonies. Before the Preliminary Hearing on November 28, 2001, I called the city and campus newspaper offices and they both sent reporters to the hearing. A Business Law class from the university sat in on the hearing as well. During the preliminary hearing Sherlock actually testified that there were 1000 riotous students with their fists in my face. On cross-examination by my attorney, the two witnesses against me, a self-professed “Christian” lesbian and Sherlock were tied into knots as they contradicted themselves thus exposing their lies. As they made utter perjurious fools of themselves we in the Courtroom were laughing, shaking our heads and giving each other the thumbs up. The two felonies were dropped along with a misdemeanor riot charge. As of this writing I have not heard from the Trial Court on whether they are going to pursue this fiasco. Please pray that the three remaining charges will be dropped before trial.

We thank you for your love and prayers.

I think the Tri-Delt national office should sue this creep for slander for singling them out.

There's one guy with 4 daughters and he has the same kind of "ministry". A few years ago on a campus, he announced to the students that his teenaged daughters had never seen a naked man. College campuses being what they are--about 2 minutes later, they had seen a lot of them.

FUNNY!!!

Too bad it's not the '70s, we would have protested the protester!

We had people like that on campus ALL-THE-TIME! It was Houston and every Hare Krishna, Zen Buddhist, Anti-Everything type of person would walk around the Union (The Greek hangout) and hand out their pamphlets and spout off their philosophies.

On the few occasions that these "prophets" crossed the line with lies, false statistics or just plain CRAPOLA, we would gather in our "letters" and just watch. Sometimes we'd get the Frisbees flying or play tag football. It usually ended up a distraction and the crowd would disperse or JOIN us in our game! (we were a little loud)
DRau-I would love to see this guy at UCSB.... someone would probably roll a keg down a hill at him! ANOTHER FUNNY!

[lionlove]

ahh, fools like this are a dime a dozen. I love his "factsheet" on AIDS on his website, most of the sources he cites are from the mid 80's.

Reminds me of another "favorite" that used to frequent this board...

[swissmiss04]

Too bad Bro. Jim doesn't come to UA...being the no. 3 (?) party school and having a strong Greek system, he'd give us an earful or so. I'm a Muslim, though raised Christian, and I still believe in what Jesus said during his Sermon on the Mount and other occasions. At one point, I think somewhere in the book of Matthew he states "Do not remove the splinter from your brother's eye until you have removed the log from your own." And since when is anyone above the rules of the Bible?! That would be like a President being above the laws of the country, which happens in dictatorships, but not in a fair and just government. Assuming that God is fair and just, which he is, He not going to exalt some people over others. I'm sure he'd have some stuff to say to me too about my "heathen" religion and that I need to "stop praying to Mohammed." What really ticks me off about his kind is that they refuse to get their facts straight and preach solely off of misguided interpretation and insufficient evidence. All I could suggest is that if anyone is approached by this joker, just smile and continue on. Arguing gets nowhere and if you ignore him, you kind of douse his little flame w/ water. Eventually the flame goes out and he gets a real job!

This is what the guy wrote in a newsletter about visiting a college in Alaska the day after 9/11

"That Wednesday, the day after the terrorist attacks in the lower forty-eight, a Muslim woman was most vociferous for her Allah. The crowd grew quiet and stared at her. I could feel the tensions rise as I actually felt that her safety was in the balance. I decimated the Islamic religion by reading from a Quran that a student brought to me in mocking defiance of my stated knowledge thereof. I quickly diverted the crowd’s attention from the foolish Mohammedan to some other topic, as her diatribe was just too much, too soon."

With friends like that in Christianity, who needs enemies

[carnation]

Okay, I just remembered the names of the 2 who came to Auburn and caused all those guys to streak. It was Brother Jed and Sister Cindy. They were so horrible--I don't know why the administration let them have a gathering.

[Lady Pi Phi]

Kind of sounds like my relatives. As musch as I love them, I can't stand having their religion stuffed dwn my throat. I have been told that I am responsible for original sin, and since my mother is a non practicing catholic she's going straight to hell, and me being her daughter I am going there too. I just ignore it. These people need you to argue with them. If everyone ignores them, it defeats their purpose.

P.S on a side not, God and Allah (sp?) are the same being. I wonder what this Brother Jim would have to say about that.

[swissmiss04]

Most likely, Lady Pi Phi, he would pull a Franklin Graham and say that God and Allah are not the same thing...nevermind the fact that in churches in the Arab world, they called God "Allah" long before Islam ever came about. It's like saying the French Christians don't worship the same god that American Christians worship because they call him "Dieu". This reminds me of a campaign in FL back in the 50's for a senate seat...one candidate said that the other candidate's brother was seen "matriculating w/ young innocent women" and that his sister was a practicing "thespian" in New York. Because the area he ran the ads in was one that wasn't affluent and well educated, people bought into the myth and the guy lost. Ignorance is truly the work of the devil.

Wow, it is really wierd that his name is brother jim, because there is an african american man named brother jim at MY campus who does the EXACT same thing, and the greeks on my campus are accustomed to him now. what we do, is we just give him NO attention. i know it is really hard when he is bashing the greek system like that when he doesnt even know anything about it, but just walk on, dont give him attention, and neither will other people.

[DWAlphaGam]

People like this are just sad. They're not going to change anyone's minds. Maybe they should try for a less educated group of people instead of touring college campuses because they might have a little more success.

[PandaOnProzac]

By the time people hit college years aren't most people settled down into their own beliefs? This would make those preacher's job useless IMO.

Some greeks have references to patriotism. You can counter back to those people that being anti-greek in a way is being anti-American. This is a good counter in the fact of the age we live in.

[lifesaver]

Thats what I love about my campus. Yeah, were conservative, w/out a long history of tolerating crap like this. The university has two "designated free speech areas" for people like this., If they try anywhere else on campus, they are removed and written trespass warnings. They try again, they arrested. I think The free speech areas are in the middle of Parking lot 5, which is about 1/4 mile from the nearest building, and on the side of the student center....just around the corner from the dumpsters and loading dock. lol. I see fools like this on my campus every now and then, (not saying greeks or another group are bad, just trying to get people to join their religious group - which has been told to leave about 500 times from our campus, or the unauthorized credit-card dudes..) I ALWAYS get on my phone, call 458-4011 (UPD, non-emergency) and report their ass. If I wanted to see/deal with/hear about god on campus (even my own) I'd be at a religious school. I chose secular for a reason..this being one of them.

[33girl]

First off, why on earth would that guy say IUP is an hour away from Export? Not that it isn't, but it is the size of a postage stamp - I wouldn't use it as a vantage point.

There is a guy who does this in Downtown Pittsburgh. One of these days I am going to snap and pull a Jim Morrison - yelling "YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER" just to see what kind of response I get.

LMAO!

At my school we had "Jews for Jesus Lady". She would stand at the main crosswalk that most students used to get from west campus (where most of the dorms are) to main campus, and she'd be holding up a sign and shouting. When I graduated, she turned up with her sign, standing next to the sidewalk that the graduates walked down on their way to commencement.

A few years ago, she actually disrupted Rosh Hashanah services. We gently suggested that she leave and not return, or we would have her arrested. She didn't show her face around campus for a while after that...
