Standing Firm Under Accusation: Faith, Persecution, Propaganda, and Letting Christ Live Through You

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo

The speaker identifies himself at the beginning as “World Pastor Tony Alamo” and says this is Part 139 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, program 241. He delivers nearly the entire sermon, responds to accusations he attributes to Pastor Roger Mixon and others, discusses persecution, the Vatican, government, media, biblical obedience, salvation, and gives the closing prayer and contact information.

Speaker 2 – Prerecorded Gospel Music / Song Performance

The opening musical segment is introduced by Tony Alamo as “Swing Down Sweet Chariot,” with a reference that appears to be to J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet. The automated transcript repeats the refrain dozens of times and becomes garbled near the end of the song. The corrected transcript identifies the song segment rather than reproducing accidental machine-generated repetition.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon

Tony Alamo says, “Sharon, let’s begin, please,” after which a female reader appears to read several accusations from a printed flyer or document. Tony then responds to each one. The raw transcript does not consistently mark the speaker changes, so the reader label is assigned only where the structure makes the transition reasonably clear.

...............

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Hello. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo, and today we’re in Part 139 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You.

This will be program number 241.

You can probably hear me pulling things off the counter because we have some new sensitive microphones. Every so often you’ll probably hear somebody turn a page or me lift up my cup of coffee, but don’t let it irritate you too much.

Listen primarily to the message.

What is the song I’m going to sing today?

“Swing Down Sweet Chariot.”

This is J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, with my song, “Swing Down Sweet Chariot.”

Speaker 2 – Prerecorded Gospel Music / Song Performance:

“Swing Down Sweet Chariot” is performed.

The automated transcript repeats the title and refrain dozens of times and becomes unintelligible near the end of the musical section. Those machine-generated duplicate lines have been removed while preserving the existence of the performance.

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

I want to come back to these false accusers.

When you accuse the people of the Lord of being a cult, while the Spirit of God is living in them—the Father, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ in them by the Spirit—and you say they are of the devil, then, according to what I preach, you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

I believe there is no forgiveness for blaspheming the Holy Spirit in this world or in the world to come.

We want everybody to be our friend. Won’t you be our neighbor?

There are churches in our area wherever we go that I consider false churches because, in my view, they don’t line up with the Bible.

There is a church out here in Fouke, Arkansas, associated with the United Pentecostal Church, whose pastor is Roger Mixon—M as in Mary, I, X as in Xavier, O, N.

Roger Mixon has been distributing flyers about me.

We’ve gone through a few of the accusations that he put on this paper, but there are so many of them.

In my opinion, he is trying to make us look so wicked that we should not even be allowed to live on the face of the Earth.

He says people have to protect themselves from Pastor Alamo, or from Tony Alamo, and then he says I’m targeting the Vatican.

Well, from my religious point of view, if he is defending the Vatican against the criticism I believe the Bible requires me to make, then he is defending what I call the Antichrist church.

I believe the Bible tells us to expose evil and resist Satan.

What do you think?

Let’s take a poll, as the press or media would say.

You have our phone number.

Call and tell us whether you think it is right to resist Satan when, as I see it, Satan attacks you, or whether you should simply let him devour you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee from you.

That is what I believe we have done for the past few years.

Mr. Mixon likes to mention my name all over the place and bring accusations against me.

I think it is only right that he become known too.

He calls himself Pastor Roger Mixon.

I believe he is a small spoke in the wheel of the Vatican.

I do not believe these churches are of the Lord.

There is another church whose name is unclear in the transcript that, according to former attendees who are now in our church, treated Black people in a discriminatory way.

They told me people there would say things like, “Blackbirds stay with blackbirds; canaries stay with canaries,” and that if a Black person came into their church, they suggested that person would be better off going to a Black church.

My Bible tells me something different.

There is even a song that says, “Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.”

We have received criticism because we have Black people in our church.

We have Jewish people.

The Ku Klux Klan historically has not liked Jews or Black people.

You may have seen movies such as Mississippi Burning.

I think racial hatred among people who call themselves Christians is awful and unconscionable.

I believe people will be judged for it.

I do not consider Roger Mixon a true pastor.

I consider him, in biblical language, a blind leader leading people into a ditch.

He has made all these accusations, and I have purposed to counter them.

I am going to read what he accused me of, then answer it and tell you what I believe the truth is.

One accusation says that I took my wife out of a mausoleum.

It was a beautiful mausoleum.

We have a letter from the funeral home.

I read the letter on the last program, and I am putting it on the website so people can see it.

According to that letter, Susie was not packed in ice.

She was not in a glass casket.

It was a normal steel casket.

People have said I was running around the United States with her body.

That is not what happened.

I was afraid authorities were going to desecrate her body.

People in the church told me they heard police talking and laughing over the radio about what they would do.

Another former person associated with the church was asked, according to my account, to take her body away and hide it so that even I would not know where it was.

I believed authorities might burn her or cut her body apart.

That is why I acted as I did.

Some people never do anything for the Lord and therefore never experience what I call persecution.

They never blow the whistle.

They think it is awful to expose Satan.

But I believe the Bible says to resist Satan, and one way to resist him is by exposing him.

Think of a burglar robbing a jewelry store.

If there are no bells, whistles, alarms, or police coming, the burglar can clean the place out.

But if the burglar alarm sounds and you hear bells, chimes, whistles, and police sirens, the thieves run.

That is the analogy I use for what I do.

I expose what I believe to be the Vatican’s role in world events.

I have claimed that presidents, including Ronald Reagan, told me they were under Vatican influence and were doing what the Vatican told them to do.

I believe religious influence has affected schools and government.

Why would a Christian want children taught things contrary to the Bible?

If you are not a Christian, you may not care what your children learn.

But I believe much of what people have learned from media and government is propaganda.

The Bible says the whole world has been deceived.

I ask: how was it deceived?

I say through propaganda.

I compare what I believe is being said about me with the kind of propaganda used against Jews in Nazi Germany.

Jews were accused of all kinds of evil and represented through ugly cartoons and stereotypes.

People drew exaggerated noses and distorted faces.

Yet there were Jewish celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor and Tony Curtis whom people considered very attractive.

Ethnic stereotypes have also been directed at Arabs and Italians.

Jimmy Durante was famously associated with jokes about his nose.

My point is that propaganda selectively degrades the people it wants the public to hate.

I do not believe media institutions similarly attack their own preferred religious or political figures.

I have made serious allegations against the Vatican, including allegations about clergy sexual abuse.

I have specifically alleged misconduct by Pope John Paul II before he became pope, while he was a priest in Poland.

I claim children complained about him and that workers reacted angrily toward him.

These are allegations I have made in my preaching.

I also accuse the Vatican of protecting priests who molested children.

There have been widely discussed scandals involving priests and altar boys.

I call that child abuse.

I also claim the Vatican protected people involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

From my interpretation of prophecy, the devil’s seat is in Rome, the city of seven hills.

I interpret certain biblical passages as describing an anti-Christian organization given a mouth to speak great and evil things against God and His people.

I believe that applies to the Vatican.

When the Apostle Paul persecuted Christians, Jesus spoke to him on the road to Damascus and asked, “Why are you persecuting Me?”

He did not say merely, “Why are you persecuting My children?”

I believe the reason is that Jesus lives in believers.

When we ask Him into our hearts and are washed and cleansed from former sins by the blood He shed at Calvary, Christ lives in us by the Spirit.

I reject the teaching that all past, present, and future sins are automatically forgiven regardless of what a person later does.

I believe that teaching is false.

The Bible warns about returning to sin like a dog returning to its vomit or a washed sow returning to the mire.

It speaks about trampling underfoot the blood of Christ and putting Him to an open shame.

So do not say you are a Christian while, in my view, defending what I call the Antichrist and attacking people who are preaching the gospel.

I did not attack Roger Mixon or his church until he attacked me.

I did not begin attacking the Vatican, in my account, until I believed forces connected with it attacked me.

I have said government agents wanted to do to us what happened at Waco.

I believed the Lord told me to resist the devil by exposing what was happening.

When I started sounding the alarm, I compared the response to cockroaches scattering when a light is turned on in an infested kitchen.

How do I know what an infested kitchen looks like?

Because I have fed poor and hungry people.

I have been in those places.

We have remodeled places for people.

When the light goes on, the roaches scatter.

That is the picture I use for exposing evil.

The Bible says the wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

People say I am bold.

I say I am afraid of the Lord.

I am afraid of what He will do to me if I do not do what I believe He has commanded me to do.

I am putting the funeral-home letter online.

The funeral home, according to the letter, said the claim that there was ice in Susie’s casket was ridiculous.

Hundreds of people were at her funeral, including funeral directors.

She was not in a glass casket.

I would never have put her in a glass casket or packed her in ice.

The Bible says it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment.

I teach that Elijah and Enoch are connected with the two witnesses who must die, and I believe Elijah already returned in the person of John the Baptist.

Jesus identified John with Elijah in the way I understand the passage.

John the Baptist was beheaded after condemning Herod’s sexual sin.

The details of Herod’s family relationships are complex in the raw transcript, but my point was that sexual immorality, adultery, incest, and fornication are sins.

If someone did something in ignorance, I teach there can be repentance and forgiveness, but knowingly continuing in sin is another matter.

I am going to continue with the accusations from this supposed pastor in Fouke, Roger Mixon, and explain what I say is the truth.

Father, I ask You to bless this.

Do not simply give me my own words.

I want You to speak to me and through me.

I pray that people who have been propagandized will have their ears opened.

The world has made me look like a kook, a quack, and a crazy person.

Lord, I pray that people will listen even to the letter from the funeral home.

If they will not believe me, perhaps they will believe a funeral director and the hundreds of people who were present.

Father, bless this so souls will listen to what You say through me and be saved.

Let the church be edified.

I have not brought all these things out in my church the way I am bringing them out now.

I ask Your blessing in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

If I were broadcasting from my church, you would hear a mighty “Amen,” but I am in my little studio office.

Sharon, let’s begin, please.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“1989: He fled Saugus, California, after he was charged with abusing the child of a follower…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Okay.

First of all, I did not flee.

That accusation is wrong right there.

Then it refers to the group’s “commune.”

We are not a commune.

We are a church.

I say the people attacking us have united themselves with what I consider the world’s most dangerous and evil church.

I have accused the Vatican of responsibility for millions of deaths and even for Waco.

I have accused former President Bill Clinton and members of his administration of participating in wrongdoing.

The transcript contains a garbled name after Attorney General Janet Reno, so I am not going to invent it here.

I also made harsh allegations against President Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

I called them sexually immoral and accused them of conduct I believe violates Scripture.

The world, in my view, is so deceived and propagandized that it elected people I consider immoral.

The Bible tells Israel not to put a king over itself who is not of the Lord.

In my preaching, sexual immorality disqualifies a person from godly leadership.

I am not saying it is wrong only in the Oval Office.

I preach that sexual sin is wrong in an ice-cream shop, in the back seat of a car, or in your own bedroom.

My point is that people often want leaders who will not confront them about sin.

They do not want a godly person telling them that what they are doing is wrong.

They prefer teachings that excuse what they want to do.

Even small towns can have corruption.

There are also good people in Fouke.

I mentioned the mayor and a woman named Melanie who works in the office.

I believe they are good people and Bible believers.

They have been bothered by people spreading this kind of material.

I have had political figures attend my church or seek my help.

The raw transcript contains a confused reference to “Kennedy,” and I do not want people worshiping political leaders.

Do not worship John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, or any other politician.

Worship the Lord.

The Lord is coming back.

The Bible says that all who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

So I see these accusations as part of persecution.

Read the accusation again.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“1989: He fled Saugus, California, after he was charged with abusing the child of a follower…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

I do not flee from anybody.

Yes, I was charged.

But did I do what was alleged?

I have newspaper articles, and I say the charges were later dropped.

I told parents that if their children were fornicating, disrupting teachers, or defying parents after being told to stop, they should discipline them.

The Bible speaks about correcting children.

I am not ashamed of what I believe the Bible says because Paul said he was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.

But, Mr. Mixon, I say you do not believe it.

Why call yourself a pastor if you do not believe the Bible?

I did not flee.

I say I never even spanked the child in question.

During that period, I was publicly visible.

I was photographed with Sonny Bono and Mary Bono.

I was in New York.

I was photographed with public officials, including a mayor whose name is garbled in the transcript, and another mayor in Jersey City whose name is also unclear.

I opened a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, called Wild Chiles.

It was a nice restaurant.

We did not serve alcohol.

We had a soda fountain.

The restaurant did well.

I sponsored a police golf tournament.

Police and firefighters wore the restaurant shirts I gave them.

I gave special prices to police and firefighters.

I was out in the open all the time.

So how was I fleeing from anybody?

I was in New York, Los Angeles, Jersey City, Tampa, and other places.

I was doing radio interviews.

I had my own radio program.

Then they call our church a commune.

We are not a commune.

I say we are a church.

To me, Mr. Mixon’s attack is like calling the true church a cult or coven.

I warn him that, in my theology, falsely calling a Spirit-filled church a cult risks blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

I believe blasphemy of the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness in this world or the world to come.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“Alamo issued orders over a speakerphone listing the child’s transgressions…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Were you there?

I have preached from the pulpit that if children repeatedly do wrong, parents can take away sweets or privileges.

If they keep mocking teachers and parents, the Old Testament contains very severe penalties for rebellion.

But we do not tell people to stone children or anyone else to death.

I teach that vengeance belongs to the Lord.

I have also claimed that God judges political leaders and nations for wrongdoing.

I have accused Bill Clinton of involvement in deaths in other countries, Waco, Oklahoma City, and other events.

Those are claims I have made.

I have pointed to his later heart surgery and health problems as judgment from God.

You are going to die too.

So be careful what you say and do.

The Lord says, “Take heed how you hear.”

In other words, be careful whom you believe.

You must believe the Lord Jesus Christ to enter the kingdom of heaven.

That is what I preach: Christ.

The Word of God is Christ.

The Word was God, and the Word became flesh.

You are not supposed merely to imitate Christ externally.

You are supposed to let Him live His life in and through you.

You are supposed to cease from your old ways and false accusations.

The Bible says people would think they were doing God a service while persecuting believers in the last days.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“One of the child’s transgressions was wearing a scarf not approved by Alamo…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

That is a lie.

I do not care what kind of scarf people wear.

In fact, I cannot remember seeing anyone wear a scarf in this church.

I have no rule against scarves.

My rules come from the Bible, and there is nothing in the Bible saying you cannot wear a scarf.

If a scarf had a Nazi swastika on it, I would object to that.

If you want to wear Nazi symbolism, go to somebody else’s church.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“He dictated how many times the child was to be struck…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

How does he know that?

He read propaganda in newspapers or heard it in media reports and believed it.

Many of you have believed it too.

He calls me a dictator.

I say the dictators are the people who send armies into Iraq claiming there are weapons of mass destruction and then fail to find what they promised.

I heard people overseas call Americans hypocrites because the United States possesses weapons of mass destruction.

I say this is not the America people think it is anymore.

I claim we have been absorbed into what I call a Roman, canon-law, one-world government.

When a nation is no longer sovereign, it follows world standards instead of its own Constitution.

I made claims that service members were punished for identifying strongly with the United States military.

Whether you accept that or not, that is the warning Susie and I gave years ago.

I said the nation could be taken without a conventional war.

Of course, wars have still killed many people.

Pearl Harbor killed many.

Nazi Germany murdered millions of people in Poland and elsewhere.

I accuse the Vatican of backing Hitler.

I say people like Mr. Mixon are defending that system.

I call him dangerous because I believe the Lord says to listen to God rather than to Satan.

If you do not read the Bible, I say you cannot tell whether I am right or Mr. Mixon is right because all you have heard is propaganda.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“He ordered the child paddled with a three-foot-long wooden stick…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Was Mr. Mixon there measuring it?

All he has, in my opinion, is what the news media said.

I was not personally present every time parents disciplined their children.

What do you think I am, omnipresent?

Even though it was my church, I was not present for everything.

Yet Mr. Mixon, who probably never knew me before I came to Fouke, tells people exactly what happened.

I am only in Fouke part of the time.

I have also been in Memphis, Nashville, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Hollywood, Florida, and Miami.

This man does not know me.

People have fired bullets into our church here.

So I hired security to take license-plate numbers from cars speeding by and to protect my wife, children, members of the church, and their children.

Now they portray me as a bad person for trying to protect people.

The Bible has watchmen.

Many people in our church are former hippies.

Some do not understand how dangerous I believe these times are.

No matter how much I preach it, they think everything is wonderful because people in this church are wonderful to them.

They do not believe outsiders can be as cruel as I say the government, Vatican, and media can be.

They do not watch much television or listen to much radio.

Then people ask, “What kind of pastor calls people names?”

I answer that Jesus called people dogs, snakes, vipers, pigs, and children of the devil.

I say I am following His example when I denounce hypocrisy.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“Five of his followers were also charged…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Yes, people were charged.

But I say you should also read the newspaper articles saying charges against me were dropped.

I was accused of wanting to hang a federal judge.

I say I won that case.

I say a jury of 12 acquitted me.

I have been in court many times.

My claim is that I won cases until government authorities began pulling people out of prison and threatening former wives to testify against me.

I claim Elizabeth was threatened that her mother and children would be killed if she would not divorce me or testify falsely.

Why would anyone do that?

Because, in my view, I was exposing what I call world government, a world religious system, and the media.

They did not like me any more than I liked them.

But I ask: do you fear Satan and his government?

The Lord says not to fear someone who can kill the body.

Fear God, who can judge the soul.

In my teaching, Satan cannot put your soul in hell by his own authority.

But if you listen to Satan and follow evil, God can judge you.

The Lord says, “Come, let us reason together.”

So read His Word.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“1991: Alamo ordered his followers to take his wife’s body when they evacuated the compound in Crawford County, Arkansas…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

You better believe I told them to take her body.

As I said before, members of the church told me they heard police officers laughing and joking about Susie over radio communications after she died.

The media mocked us with things like “Wake up, little Susie.”

Then we were dragged into court.

Authorities claimed I personally controlled everything in the church.

But we were helping people.

We built homes for people.

We bought furniture.

We paid utility bills.

We built schools.

We paid expenses connected with the birth of children.

We bought automobiles.

I deeded property over to people.

We hardly had enough money to do all of that, let alone write checks for everything people later claimed.

I do not know another church that was compelled by government to do what we were ordered to do.

I believe Satan is insane.

I call the Vatican and political leaders who follow it spiritually insane because, in my theology, obeying evil ultimately leads to judgment.

People act as though powerful religious leaders are gods.

But Pope John Paul II died.

Other popes died.

Human beings are not gods.

God is God.

One of the first things you need to understand is that humans are not gods.

Isaiah 31 says, in substance, that the Egyptians are men and not God.

The Vatican is made of men.

Government officials are men.

Media figures are men.

They are not God.

Get your eyes off them and focus on God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

People in ancient times feared Egypt.

People today fear institutions I identify with the Vatican and world government.

But what did God do to Pharaoh?

He overthrew his army in the sea.

What do you think God can do to this world?

I have heard people who study the skies talk about large meteorites that could strike the planet.

I have predicted catastrophic tidal waves higher than mountains.

I have said inland property in Arkansas could become beachfront property.

I have described a wave around 1,500 feet high traveling hundreds of miles an hour and sweeping across the nation.

Those are warnings I have preached.

I say God is angry.

I picture the cup of His wrath and indignation filling up.

I believe He has given people enough time to read the Bible, learn what it says, and obey it.

Instead, I say people are getting worse.

The Bible says perilous times will come and people will be lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God.

Some people sit in churches and do not even realize their leaders are being persecuted because they are focused on themselves.

They like eating, sleeping, and taking care of their own comforts.

When a man connected with our work was going to Africa, people said, “Oh, we wish we could go too.”

But when reports came back about people living in terrible conditions and using contaminated water, enthusiasm disappeared.

Our ministry, according to my account, helped provide clean water and electricity.

When he came back, I asked, “Anybody who wants to go to Africa, raise your hand, and I swear before Almighty God I’ll send you.”

I did not see many hands.

One woman, whose name sounds like Leah Sweat in the transcript, raised hers and then backed down when I said I would actually send her.

She said she had spoken unadvisedly.

People say, “Send me, Father. Wherever You tell me to go, I will go.”

But when it becomes real, many do not want to go.

I went to prison for four years.

I say I was railroaded by propaganda and false testimony.

I claim authorities offered benefits to prisoners if they would lie about me.

I also claim they threatened Elizabeth Caldwell’s mother and children to pressure her into testifying against me.

Elizabeth went on programs such as Sally Jessy Raphael.

The host did not know me personally, yet, in my view, accepted claims about me as true.

She also appeared on A Current Affair, Unsolved Mysteries, Hard Copy, America’s Most Wanted, and other programs.

Those programs wanted sensational material.

I became a perfect target because media stories portrayed me as one of the most dangerous men on Earth.

Mr. Mixon, in my opinion, believes those stories and is now spreading flyers around town repeating them.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“They evacuated the compound before it was raided by federal marshals…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

We do not have a “compound,” and we did not evacuate the way that sentence implies.

I have claimed that after I criticized President George H. W. Bush and accused him of having former Nazi war criminals as advisers, he directed the IRS to “get” me.

That is my allegation.

I say authorities could not answer the substance of what I was saying, so they used other methods against me.

I also claimed Elizabeth was threatened and pressured to give false testimony.

I say the government then placed her on television programs because she would speak against me.

I did not always speak against government.

I used to say, “Support your local police.”

Susie got me involved with the John Birch Society.

At the time, I understood them to blame many world problems on communism.

Later, I came to believe that was another Catholic-influenced smokescreen that shifted blame away from the Vatican.

People talked about Bilderbergers and the Illuminati.

I accuse Catholic power structures of redirecting blame toward Jews and other groups.

I also believe President Bush was under pressure to follow the pope.

I have made the allegation that John F. Kennedy became too independent from the Vatican and was killed because of it.

I make a similar allegation concerning Robert F. Kennedy.

I reject the official account that Sirhan Sirhan alone killed him and claim the fatal shots came from behind, implicating bodyguards.

Those are claims I have preached.

I say that serving Satan is dangerous because Satan destroys his own.

But the Lord delivers His own.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

I believe the Lord warned me that people would destroy me if I did not expose what I was seeing.

I have been publishing literature for years.

I say God has held powerful institutions back.

What could a small group of people like us do against what I call world government, the Vatican, a world church, and the news media except trust the Lord?

I believe that because I do what He says, He protects us.

I have interpreted illnesses and deaths of people who opposed us as judgments from God.

The raw transcript names a judge or official whose identity is unclear and says he developed cancer and died.

It also mentions the owner of a motel in Alma, Arkansas, who allegedly distributed literature against us and later developed cancer in his eyes and died.

It mentions a postmaster who allegedly spread false publicity about Susie and then died.

It mentions a local television or jewelry-store owner whose son died.

The exact names and details are too garbled to publish confidently.

My point in the sermon was that I believed God judged people who persecuted us.

I also said President Clinton had suffered mentally and physically.

I referred to a supermarket tabloid dated around September 14, 2006, which I said had a large picture of Clinton and a headline concerning mental illness.

I connected that to his heart bypass surgery and to what I believe was his role in deaths and wrongdoing.

I also criticized politicians for associating with the pope.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“September 1991: An arrest warrant was issued for Alamo for an alleged threat to kidnap and hang a federal judge…”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

Yes, charges were made against me.

But, I say, they do not print the newspaper articles showing that I won cases or that charges were dropped.

Mr. Mixon repeats accusations but does not tell people what happened afterward.

One minute, I am accused of being homosexual.

The next minute, they say I have a hundred wives.

I say the accusations contradict one another and show how out of control the campaign against me became.

Satan, in my theology, has been cast down and is full of wrath because he knows judgment is coming.

Continue.

Speaker 3 – Reader / Assistant, Sharon:

“…to hang a federal judge who had awarded damages to former followers for labor practices and mental anguish.”

Speaker 1 – Host / Preacher, Tony Alamo:

That is not the whole story as I tell it.

Two men whose last name appears to be Miller allegedly took money belonging to the ministry.

The exact figure is garbled—possibly $20,000 or $40,000.

According to my account, they used our trucks and drivers while saying they were making money for the church.

I say they opened three bank accounts and put money in those accounts.

When I tried to press charges, they went to people connected with the Cult Awareness Network and brought claims against us for mental anguish.

They portrayed everything in the church as mine personally.

All the food eaten by hundreds of people was treated as if it were mine.

All the houses lived in by hundreds of people were treated as if they were mine.

They used an “alter ego” theory, in my telling, to pierce the corporate structure and treat church property as Tony Alamo’s personal property.

The raw transcript clearly names the Tony and Susan Alamo Foundation and gives another church or corporate name that is too garbled to state with certainty.

The government took property and, in my account, put hundreds of people out on the street.

I say this arose after the Miller brothers took money from us and we tried to prosecute them.

Now Mr. Mixon brings up those old accusations without telling the full story as I see it.

Property being taken does not automatically mean the taking was right.

The Bible says those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

I am still happy in the Lord.

I once put a sign in our Nashville store, the Alamo of Nashville, saying, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

You can be saved and have the same attitude about the troubles happening in this world.

I claim terrorism and world political evil come from the Vatican.

If you keep listening to the program, I will continue telling you where I believe these things come from.

In the meantime, if you want to be saved, if you want to go to heaven, and if you do not want to be part of what I call an Antichrist system, then turn to the Lord.

I say there is no need for confusion.

I interpret the Bible as plainly identifying the Vatican, world government, and the Antichrist.

I have even said that forces people call al-Qaeda, communism, Nazism, and other evils ultimately trace back to the same satanic religious system.

Why do I believe that?

Because I believe God said so.

Amen.

Father God, I will say this prayer so people can be saved.

Have mercy on my soul, a sinner.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God.

I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins.

I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I open the door of my heart and invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus.

Wash all my sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me.

You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus.

You will save my soul.

I know because Your Word says so.

Your Word says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Therefore, I have called on You.

I believe You have heard me.

I believe You have answered me.

I believe I am saved.

I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.

Praise the Lord.

Raise your hands and praise the Lord.
