OPEN REQUESTS TO LEE RAY REGARDING HIS
REPENTANCE
LETTER ONE
January 21, 2000
Brother Ray,
I have hesitated to write because I tried to
talk to you years ago and you turned away from me then. I did all the
scriptural steps to try and make things right with Lloyd Goodwin and he would
not hear me. My hands are free from his blood.
I would like to make "one last
plea" to you to do the right thing. My heart felt prayer is that there is
one "spark" of conscience left in you that would cause you to turn
and do what is right. I know that this has to be extremely hard for you and
that is as it should be since you have made it hard for so many others. I am
not writing this to intimidate or harass you but as a sincere attempt to make
you fall on your knees before God and then repent to all those that you have
harmed. I do not ask for your repentance to me but to these young people whose
lives have been shredded and torn.
My children did not spend as much time there
as some of these others but their lives were affected in such a way that they
will never forget it. Abuse in the name of God is something that a person never
gets over. Your trust is gone forever in church because you gave
"everything." Glenn remembers the "beatings" that he got
and didn't understand. Pam remembers being molested during the school day by
one of the teenage boys, time after time and threatened if she ever told.
Jeremie was hurt so badly that last year of school that he will never get over
it. The rejection was almost unbearable for him. You probably don't even
remember because you had your mind on too many other things but he will always
remember. Andrew Verwers will never get over what happened to him. I won't even
mention other's lives that you could have helped but instead you followed the
leader, Lloyd Goodwin.
YOU are responsible for these things and I
know that you have never made things right with them. I am responsible to a
certain extent because I did not have enough discernment to know better. I just
thought I was doing the right thing. I was an obedient little Christian. I'm
ashamed and sorry and I have asked my children many times to forgive me. Even
with all of the problems that they've had in this life, I have three of the
most honest hearted kids that ever lived and I have some wonderful
stepchildren. They are going to make it. The kids who had a strong will and a
mind of their own were the ones who suffered the most. Some suffered in
silence because of fear.
I've heard all the ones who say that Brother
Ray has changed and he's repented and etc... But what about these young people
that I've heard and talked to since Michael put
up this web site who say that you never
repented to them? Don't they deserve it because they don't go to your church? I
know you have a whole lot to lose and truth be known, you deserve to lose it
all but if you would make things right, NOW, it would be a lot easier in the
long run. At least you would have a chance with God and you might not have to
go to jail. But ignoring Michael and hanging up on him was not the right thing
to do. He came to you and gave you that chance and you didn't take it. You need
to tell your wife and your daughter the truth and repent with all your heart
before it is too late. What if we were taught wrong and there really is a hell?
Just a question.
You have no right to be in the ministry and
in the position as principle of a school. Haven't you learned anything by what
happened to Tom Jolly and Lloyd Goodwin? This just blows my mind. How can people who sat
there and heard Lloyd Goodwin say that I was going to die in a horrible fiery
crash and be burned and charred beyond recognition and IF that didn't happen
then "GOD NEVER CALLED ME TO THE MINISTRY!" He said this was going to
happen within a very short time frame. He's dead and almost nine years later,
I'm still alive. I thank God for life and breath. He told us that if a person
didn't live past 70 or 80 years old then they died under that judgment of God. He was 67! What does that say? He died a liar. Am I happy
about that? Absolutely not! It is one of the saddest things I have ever seen
because God warned him for five years.
Once again, I am pleading with you to make
things right. I felt that I had to do it just one more time. I could forgive
you and I believe others could too. Selah.....
In Christ Jesus,
Wanda Mason
I am attaching a message that I sent to Mike
Davis. Can you "really" imagine Michael doing what he is doing?
Whether he knows it or not, God gave him this mission. I know that he believes
in God, it's just not the God he learned about at GAC.
At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me: [17] "Son
of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I
speak and give them warning from me. [18] When I say to a wicked man, 'You will
surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil
ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I
will hold you accountable for his blood. [19] But if you do warn the wicked man
and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for
his sin; but you will have saved yourself.
[20] "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and
does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did
not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be
remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. [21] But if you do
warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live
because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself."
Ezekiel 33:1-9 The word of the LORD came to me: [2]
"Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the
sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and
make him their watchman, [3] and he sees the sword coming against the land and
blows the trumpet to warn the people, [4] then if anyone hears the trumpet but
does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be
on his own head. [5] Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take
warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would
have saved himself. [6] But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not
blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of
one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold
the watchman accountable for his blood.'
[7] "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;
so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. [8] When I say to the
wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to
dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will
hold you accountable for his blood. [9] But if you do warn the wicked man to
turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will
have saved yourself.
SECOND MESSAGE TO LEE RAY REQUESTING REPENTANCE
March 3, 2000
I am making an open request to Lee
Ray. We have heard that he went to the altar and repented this past week. We
have also heard that he has repented over the pulpit publicly. But I have a few
questions that need to be answered:
I think that is a good start Lee, I'm very
glad to hear this report but what I am wondering is what about all the people here
that have not heard this repentance? What about all the young people that have
been mentally and physically abused at your hands? Do we have to come all the
way to Kingsport to get an I'm truly sorry, please forgive me? I have
heard no one here tell me that you have repented to them. Do you have
any idea the damage that has been done in people's lives and minds by you and
Lloyd Goodwin in the name of God?
Do you remember when you publicly called me Jezebel
and said that I was a liar and was going to be judged like Jezebel in the
Bible? Do you remember standing back and agreeing with Lloyd Goodwin when he publicly
threatened my life? Do you remember ignoring me when I came to you
for help? You were an elder and pastor but you would not listen to a child of
God's pleas for help. You may not believe this but nothing in this world would
make me happier right now than to hear true repentance on your part. I
would be the first one to shake your hand and Praise God in Heaven for another
victory from satan!
However, I will know that it is true
when I hear it publicly with my own ears or even read it publicly,
perhaps on Mike's message board. But even that would not be enough. I'm sorry,
Lee, but after what you have done to God's people, you would have to step down
from the ministry at least until you get some counseling and help for yourself.
You have had a problem with pedophilia in the past and it's a known fact that
pedophiles do not just get over it. A pedophile is any man or woman who
molests a young child or teen. We have proof that you have done this, Lee. It's
too late to deny it and the best thing in the world that you can do now is to
come clean and let the blood of Jesus set you free and give you life and
liberty in Him.
I've been told that you don't read your
email, you just delete it. Why? If you have nothing to hide, why not just read
it? That makes more of a question than it does answers. But I know that Lloyd
Goodwin used to tell people that he didn't read my letters and that he just
tore them up and threw them away. Then he would preach his entire sermon on
what was in my last letter. All he was doing was trying to keep other
people from reading them. It was a tactic.
I do hope you either read this or someone prints it off
and gives it to you. Otherwise, all we who are up here can believe is that you
are a coward and are just sticking your head in the sand. My prayers are with
you today Lee and Alice. Please think about this.
Sincerely,
Wanda Mason
