RAPID FIRE – ANSWERING ALLEGATIONS WITH SHARP QUESTIONS
More than halfway through his article in The Cut, Harrison deals some low blows. We’ll quickly challenge his hateful hearsay with very pointed questions.

1. Harrison: “[Sarah’s] escape had been, for Deborah, cataclysmic.”1
Q: Wouldn’t it be quite traumatic if your daughter disappeared with a man from a foreign country, a man whom you barely knew, and most of all, who’s not her husband?
Q: Would you not be concerned if your daughter recklessly abandoned her children?
Q: Would you not worry about your daughter running off to nowhere with no direction, in a world that often has no mercy?
2. Ex-member Julie Gudino told Harrison that Deborah went “cuckoo,” and explained, “I watched that lady go crazy in front of my face.”1
Q: Don’t you think it would be a good idea to first understand who Julie Gudino is? Did you know there’s a number of people who describe her as a real crazy person? Isn’t it important to discover that her own son ran away from home and accused her of abusing him? (Read about that fact in General Jim’s article “People — The Oracle’s Daughter,” available HERE. Scroll down towards the bottom under “Pt.2.” You’ll be reading a documented legal discussion between a lawyer and Special Agent Pete Baca.)
Q: Is it wrong for a Christian mother to go “crazy” with concern for a daughter who chooses adultery and parental abandonment when, as a Christian, this mother knows there is an ETERNAL HELL awaiting those who “obey not the Gospel” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)?
Q: Why does everyone else in the community NOT share Julie’s memory of “crazy” but rather testify about a natural, genuine maternal and Christian “concern” expressed by Deborah?
Q: How could Deborah have been “crazy” when it was during this very time, shortly after Sarah left, that I, as an outsider, first came to the community and noticed the opposite of “crazy”: both Generals were hospitable, sane, caring and lucid, strong Christian believers whom I could tell were very close to God?
Q: Wouldn’t a mother NOT being concerned be the REAL sign of concern?
Q: Wouldn’t all the disgruntled ex-members tell stories of severe cultic heartlessness if General Deborah had showed no Christian concern for her wayward daughter?
3. “Deborah undertook ever-more ferocious fasts.”1
Q: First of all, is there something wrong with fasting? Or does Deborah not have the personal right to fast or participate in Biblical Christian practices? Or is she not afforded the right to seek God according to how she believes, out of concern for a daughter making dangerous decisions?
Q: Did you know Jesus said, “Howbeit this kind [of demon] goeth not out but by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21), which makes it clear that you must fast when trying to help someone who has certain demonic problems?
Q: Do you realize that in Matthew 6:16, Jesus clearly says “WHEN ye fast” – NOT “IF ye fast”?
Q: Have you ever read the Scripture where Jesus tells us that God the Father REWARDS His people for fasting? “But thou, WHEN THOU FASTEST, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men TO FAST, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, SHALL REWARD THEE OPENLY” (Matthew 6:17-18).
Q: Don’t you think Harrison’s phrase “ever-more ferocious fasts”1 rings with mockery instead of concern?
4. “She [Deborah] raged about Sarah’s wantonness.”1
Q: Do you think Deborah, as a Christian woman, should have praised it?
5. Harrison says Deborah “subjected members to appalling punishments…”
Q: Which members, exactly, are claiming to have undergone “punishments”? Perhaps the ones who HATE the Generals?
Q: Why is it that NONE of the members who don’t hate the Generals have ever claimed to have suffered under the Generals?
Q: Is it right to only take into consideration the hateful claims and not give the same attention to the positive ones?
Q: Is it morally and legally fair to only listen to people who have left the ministry while ignoring those who are still part of it?
6. Of all the people supposedly punished by Deborah, Harrison claims there was “no one more so than the girl Sarah had brought to America.”1
After this statement, Harrison throws one low blow after another against Deborah. We have split up these low blows into sections (a) through (g)below:
(a) “Deborah tortured the girl physically, emotionally, and sexually.”1
Q: Did you know there was NO physical, psychological or sexual proof provided to the court that showed the child was abused?
Q: Did you know there WAS physical, psychological and sexual proof WITHHELD by the prosecution which DID prove that there was ABSOLUTELY NO ABUSE?
Q: Why would the prosecution HIDE EVIDENCE???
BELOW: A screenshot of the AggressiveChristianity.net homepage, showing the intro to the Habeas Corpus — the legal document that unveiled the hidden evidence that exonerated General Deborah Green.
Q: Have you seen the Habeas Corpus court document that details a psychological exam of the child by Dr. Carol Larroque who concluded that the child showed “NO SIGNS psychologically of being traumatized or depressed and denied abuse”?2
Q: Do you know what a SANE nurse is and what a SANE exam entails? The International Association of Forensic Nurses defines these terms as follows:
“A sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) is a registered or advanced practice nurse who has received specialized training to provide comprehensive, trauma-informed, patient-centered care to survivors of sexual assault. Depending on the jurisdiction or state/province, a SANE may go by another name, such as a forensic nurse examiner. The SANE’s responsibilities include:
– Evaluating the survivor’s ability to provide consent for a forensic exam
– Conducting a thorough and comprehensive medical history, including specifics of the sexual assault
– Educating the patient about and discussing the need for potential testing or treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
– Addressing pregnancy potential and the available options
– Conducting a thorough physical exam, collecting samples or photo imaging along the way, as necessary and according to the patient’s wishes
– Being prepared to testify as a witness in any criminal or civil trials, when necessary.”3
Q: Are you aware that the child in question received 2 SANE exams? And do you know what the SANE expert concluded? I will quote directly from the Habeas Corpus:
“The SANE exam uncovered no signs of sexual abuse.”
Q: WOW!!! Is it possible for a very small girl to have been raped over and over and over and over and over and sexually tortured with metal instruments for months and months and have literally “NO SIGNS OF SEXUAL ABUSE”???!!! After metal instruments and months of rape??? REALLY???!!!
Q: Is it now any wonder to you that the Judge ordered Deborah’s immediate release from prison (and that ALL of Peter’s sexual abuse charges were DROPPED!) upon learning of this exculpatory evidence that had been hidden by the state?
* * *
Step aside from the questions for a moment. Understand this young girl we’re talking about is now a young adult. Keep that in mind as we examine the 6 possible scenarios we’re faced with after reading the alarming and exonerating psychological and physical EVIDENCE.
Possible Scenarios:
1. This young adult is lying about her past and she seeks to somehow gain something for herself by lying.
2. This young adult is lying about her past and she seeks nothing in return, which makes her sadistic.
3. This young adult is lying about her past because she was pressured to lie by another person or persons, and feels threatened; therefore she was forced into a collusion.
4. This young adult is lying about her past because she was convinced to lie by another person or persons, and willingly agreed to lie; therefore she chose to join a collusion.
5. This young adult is lying about her past because she is mentally unstable and believes her own delusions.
6. This young adult is lying about her past because she’s mentally unstable and a person or persons are using her delusions for their own advantages.
ALL THOSE SCENARIOS ARE SCARY.
Q: Do you realize that we cannot, in good faith, trust ANYTHING SHE SAYS, regardless of which scenario is the correct one?
* * *
Harrison throws another low blow:
(b) Deborah “forced her [the child] to perform hard labor…”1
Q: Says who? The same girl who said she was raped and tortured and NEVER WAS? Is that who we’re believing on all these accusations?
Q: Did you know this is the same obvious liar who said she washed dishes (in a commercial sink she couldn’t reach), baked bread for hours (in commercial ovens with complex controls and also too high to reach), did the gardening (totaling around 4 acres, indoor and mostly outdoor in high desert fields), performed all kinds of other hard labor tasks, I suppose in her “spare time” – and somehow, during it all, managed to go to school . . .
Or maybe she just taught herself how to read and write in her other spare time?!
Wait. We need a quick break to process all that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOPE. DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!
(c) Harrison: “…[Deborah] beat her with a whip that a detective compared to a cat-o’-nine-tails.”1
Q: Did you know he “compared” this whip using only a description from the mind of the same girl whom we’ve proven is either lying or mentally unstable?
Q: Have you heard that a cat-o’-nine-tails is “designed to lacerate the skin and cause intense pain”?4 So, don’t you think that would leave a scar, especially on a very small crippled child who says she was “beaten” cruelly many times?
Q: Have you heard this adult girl’s court confession, stating that she doesn’t have ANY scars from ANY of these supposed cruel “beatings” with a lacerating whip? Did you realize she was questioned about the scars in court? So . . . we are to believe all these “scars,” from such a brutal lacerating instrument, just DISAPPEARED?
(d) Harrison, again: “Denied sufficient nutrition, the girl developed rickets. Her softening bones grew visibly misshapen.”1
Q: Why is he assuming it was a lack of nutrition? Is Harrison aware that this young girl had a relative who also had rickets? That’s important to understand. Knowing that, is he aware that the University of Chicago, among others, tells us that “Rickets may be environmental or hereditary”?5
Q: I’m guessing Harrison’s proof for a lack of sufficient nutrition is the same witness we’ve all become SHOCKINGLY acquainted with in this article? Yeah.
Q: Were any of you ever in line at one of our lunches? Probably not. Can I ask you to picture various raw salads, including greens like spinach, kale and a mix of lettuces; ponder a gourmet sweet carrot salad with raisins and sunflower seeds; a cauliflower salad seasoned with garlic, minced onions and olive oil; a savory cabbage salad; often a delicious beet and vinegar salad; presentations of various raw vegetables; continue on to baked stuffed bell peppers or poblanos, filled with a blend of rice, minced vegetables and spices; steaming hot pinto beans, right out of the pressure cooker; then real guacamole, homemade creams and dressings and various condiments; afterward, bowls of freshly chopped fruit salad with grapes, apples, bananas, pears, and even mango; perhaps a side of fresh-baked sweet rolls, homemade chocolate pie or chocolate covered bananas? Now, does that sound fantastic or what?! I could keep going with the descriptions . . . .
Q: Does that mouth-watering spread sound lacking in nutrition to you? It may be hard to believe for some people, but can you imagine we ALL ate like that ALL THE TIME, with many other variations?! Lots of labor of love – by adults (not that anyone would believe a very small child could prepare and serve all that complex spread, every day, by herself!). For the record, General Deborah selflessly led the kitchen crew while juggling her many other duties, for many, many years.
(e) “There was an obviously racist bent to Deborah’s mistreatments: According to another former member, she justified them by explaining that God might want to return the girl to her home country…”1
Q: How about we just be HONEST and say there were NO mistreatments? Don’t you think it was bad enough to lie about sexual abuse, let alone all these other ridiculous claims?
Q: How many people do you know personally who have risked their lives to go to Africa – a continent predominantly inhabited by black people, in case you didn’t realize that – and have taken that risk again, and again, and again, even after enduring life-threatening diseases and afflictions and extreme danger?
Q: How many people do you know personally that give up their own financial gains to spend the money on sending loads of Gospel literature and Bibles overseas to the Africans – asking nothing in return?
Q: How many people do you know personally who would take hours and hours and hours, over time, praying for Africans, East Indians, South Americans and so many others to be saved, kept safe, grow in Christ and gain closer relationships with God?

Q: Why is Harrison, a supposed non-fiction writer, pushing unfounded accusations without taking the time (1) to see if they even make sense, and (2) to actually verify the type of person he’s listening to, as to their trustworthiness and the validity of the outlandish claims they are making, especially in light of the provable lifestyles of those who are being accused – lifestyles that utterly conflict with and prove false the accusations?
(f) “In 2006, the girl broke a femur in what Jim and Deborah said was a swing-set accident.”1
Q: What if we restated that last part to be accurate, like, “…in what Jim and Deborah AND MORE THAN A DOZEN OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE AND LOOKED OUT THE KITCHEN WINDOW AND SAW THE GIRL OUTSIDE ON THE SWING AND TESTIFY was a swing-set accident”?
(g) “The injury prompted them to finally take the girl to a nearby hospital.”1
Q: Yeah, how about we restate this malicious quote also, to say, “The injury prompted them to IMMEDIATELY take the girl to a nearby hospital, JUST LIKE THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN HER TO A HOSPITAL TO HAVE SURGERY ON HER LEGS BEFORE THIS EVER HAPPENED”?
—————————–
Harrison’s only evidence for anything is the girl’s own accusations (and maybe a few of her disgruntled ex-member friends have tried to chime in, but it’s all to the same bitter tune with no evidence). After realizing she lied HORRIBLE lies, nothing she says on this topic should ever be listened to again.
Harrison, are you really publishing her stories as non-fiction, even after reading the Habeas Corpus in General Deborah’s case? Wait . . . DID you read it? I sure hope so.
The TRUTH is what matters, folks, for all of us. Harrison stands to end up in the ranks of folly. It’s not necessary! The facts are out there.
Write the REAL non-fiction account, Harrison! We’re all tired of the LIES, the LIARS, and those who keep listening to them without testing a single word they say!
In the end, the TRUTH will win, no matter what. God is TRUTH, and nothing can defeat Him. Those of us who believe in being honest, we stand on the Rock that cannot be shaken, and we have honest relationships with our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord. We pray for all those who merely pay Him lip-service, or no service at all. Please come to Christ, return to Christ, REPENT from your sins, and embrace the saving grace of Jesus Christ the Lord, before it’s too late.

(This entry is found just a little below the “Special Links” black box section that appears at the top of the homepage. Scroll down just a bit and you’ll see a headline titled “General Deborah Found NOT GUILTY and RELEASED!” Take some time to read the whole document through. It’s eyeopening for those who have only heard terrible accusations.
Truly, what EVIL has been done through LIES, through a painfully imperfect legal system, and in the hearts of men and women who believe accusations with no material proof!! Why does anyone still listen to these accusers who have been exposed – by the EVIDENCE! – to be a handful of embittered souls??!!)
