First of all, halacha means "The Walk."
 
Secondly....

I find it interesting that this is the first email that I have received from you since my departure. Your accusation that I owe you money for a long distance phone bill is atrocious. It is a lie, making you one of those liars you spoke of when you quoted Revelation 21. "Judge not..." is what Judy quoted to you. I know you understand the context of that verse; therefore, you should be worried. You are judging me for being a liar and a thief, but you are a liar and the thief. You are pietistic, angry, and deceived.
 
For those interested, call MCI and ask them for the balance due on 870-248-0711. It was in Slade Henson's name at the address of 89 Homeplace Trail, Pocahontas, AR 72455. It was in place from the beginning of June to the beginning of July. It was a long distance plan for free long distance after 7 PM for $17.95 per month. For those who are truly curious and want to call, I give you permission to say you are "Slade Henson" in order to "make sure I paid the full balance."
 
I find your lack of compassion and your demand for sustenance amazing. Torah speaks of reimbursement as well. However, since you have been CUT OFF (financially and spiritually) from the congregation called Little Children of Jesus Christ and your commission as "pastor" terminated by the elders, you have been making demands on me. I am actually surprised to see it continue. You are incredibly greedy... or just worried, perhaps. After all, it can be frightening not to know if money will be coming in to pay your gasoline and your utilities.
 
I fear for your eternal considerations and I pray for your repentance. Be a harsh judge and a harsh demander.... and you will receive the same reward in the afterlife, wherever you end up. (Remember the "judge not" bit from Judy?)

Hypocrisy?
Perhaps you forgot about Matthew 18? Why didn't you come to me, or do you think it's OK because you did this under the guise of "anonymity" by not naming me? Many on the list know you and I were near for a while... therefore you did not do this under anonymity. This is hypocrisy, especially since you criticized Tim Winkley for not properly following Matthew 18.

Hypocrisy?
You have taught against eating anything Biblically unclean and criticize the Koshering labels... claiming that many labels allow pork-based Vitamin D-3. However, you hide behind the "box-KO" kosher label to consume decomposing crustaceans in your multivitamin. The "box-KO" label is one of the more LIBERAL labels. This is Hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy?
Chris is the foremost "authority" (that I know of, at least) on the concept that the 2nd Commandment denies us access to ALL images whatsoever. He refused to be interviewed by my wife and her friend Suzanne Shell for a documentary; however, he allowed himself and a friend of his to be interviewed for a Christian TV program. Have you taken a look at his email tagline \o/ !HALALUYah! \o/? Hands raised high -- even in praise -- is an image.

Hypocrisy?
You accused me of tale-bearing on 07/14/2003 when you said, "Simply put, that is talebearing.  You also bore false witness against this brother.  Indeed, Slade is a liar, too." You also denied being a tale bearer when you said, "I deny because it is truthful to do so." However... let me give you a few quotes to prove your hypocrisy (and to boot, your gossip wasn't all that accurate)...
Dated 01/27/2003: Kay was for all intents and purposes A WHORE ... had one child out of wedlock ... married another man who was a drug using, drug selling, womanizer and child molester.  Remained faithful to him through wife-beatings until he repeatedly cheated on her (including with a child for which he was convicted).  Divorced him and eventually met Slade sometime thereafter.
Slade was for all intents and purposes A WHOREMONGER.  He was one of the main writers for TSR, producers of "Dungeons and Dragons".  It is a great regret of his to this day that some of his works are still out there and he can't do anything about it.
Dated 06/30/2003: Thanks for the input.  We'll see if YHVH brings it forth ... we certainly can't do it of our own accord (I know, I know, that's a Honda).
By the way, do me a favor?  DO NOT mention it to the Hensons.  They have owed us more than a hundred dollars for months and are pitching a fit over it.  If they think we may be getting that Toyota they may just NEVER pay that back thinking (WRONGFULLY and WICKEDLY) that we don't need it anyway.
Well, today is the 30th.  It'll be interesting to see what comes forth this New Moon day!

Thief?
You bought bibles using Little Children of Jesus Christ (LCOJC) funds but kept the profits yourself (you told me this yourself.) You are a thief of the tithes of believers. That makes you a thief of God's own funds. Do you think He will forget? Perhaps this is why your funds are depleting, you are unemployed, writing a free article on alternative medicine for the Hill 'n' Holler, a free rag in Missouri (making it easy for you to be deceptive and say you don't need an SSN to be a "journalist") and you are unable to sell your articles to other newspapers (as of July 14, that is). The elders of LCOJC took the checkbook to stop the pilfering.

Thief?
I agreed to pay for half of the lambs for Passover. When we got the lambs, I didn't have the money on me (I truly forgot). I also neglected to pay you for a long while thereafter. I admitted by wrong doing to you then, and I admit to now before all. We bought the lambs under the pretense that I would ask for donations to help alleviate the cost, because I was EXTREMELY POOR as I had not been able to find any work in Arkansas yet. (I did get blessed with employment the end of June, thanks to Dan Tweedy of LCOJC.)  I asked for donations that night, and I saw donations being handed to you during the feast of Unleavened Bread, but you never let me know how much came in or anything. THEN I got your "bill." That bill included the cost of the lamb. I asked you about the donations, but you said the donations were all given to LCOJC. Perhaps that is true, I do not know. I do know that the cost of OUR Passover was the last straw for the elders of LCOJC and they demanded the checkbook from you.

Thief?
You used LCOJC equipment to print a butt-load of paper to make copies of your newspaper articles in order to try and sell your articles to other newspapers.

Liar?
You make a distinction between Christopher C Barr and CHRISTOPHER C BARR. Because your SSN is attached to CHRISTOPHER C BARR, you claimed that you as Christopher C Barr does not have an SSN when you applied and received your pictureless Arkansas Driver License . Deception is lying, Chris.

Liar?
In a meeting between you and the elders of LCOJC, they requested that you separate yourself from the congregation. You said, "I never enter the building" (speaking of the meeting hall which includes two front offices, a sanctuary, two bathrooms, a kitchen/dining hall, and a storage room). Shortly thereafter, the "poltergeist" showed up, and the doors were being left open and lights were being left on. We, the Hensons that is, were being blamed for these strange occurrences. However, after our departure, the poltergeist continued his thing... doors and windows being left open with the AC on full blast, the gas stove burners all on, etc. Interestingly, Chris Barr was caught red handed IN THE BUILDING. Thereafter, the elders came down hard and told the Barrs that they are allowed access through the property to the home they rent FOR FREE from the congregation but their son Brady has access to the playground area.

How does it feel, Chris, to be "Marked As Decisive" (Romans 16:17) by the LCOJC congregation? This has occurred in the last week or so. Perhaps TruthTalk recipients need to be aware that Chris is being separated in hopes that this will bring him to repentance. Perhaps the TruthTalk leadership need to contact the elders of LCOJC to determine if TruthTalk needs to participate in the turning away from Chris (again, Romans 16:17).
 
For the leaders of TruthTalk... if you want to verify any of this information, please contact me and I will get you in touch with the leadership of LCOJC for a second and third and fourth witness... after all, we should be OBSERVANT to the truth which requires such.
 
Why do you tear down everything and everyone around you? Do you do this to build yourself up? If you can't be uplifting, please go away. When your heart and soul heal, please return.
 
See you around, Chris.
I continue to pray for you.
 
In closing, am I a thief? Yes I am. I paid Chris for things I should have paid LCOJC for. Since that time, I spoke with the elders and apologized for my oversight and they (thankfully) forgave me and the debt.

\o/ !HALALUYah! \o/
Greetings in the Matchless Name of YahShua !!
 
Halacha means "to walk in the way".
 
If one claiming Torah observance and halacha should move away sticking another to pay that one's bills (local phone, long distance, etc.) in the amount of $97.37 is that one walking in the Torah way?  Or is that one just "in the way" of Torah?
 
Scripture says that if such a thief be found, and he says he stole because he was hungry (i.e. had children to feed) he should not be despised BUT he shall restore sevenfold -- that would be $681.59 -- even to the giving of ALL the substance of his house (Proverbs 6:30-31).
 
Yom Kippur is just around the corner.
 
Of course, if one is just a hypocrite and not at all Torah observant then that one is only a common thief.
