http://www.soaringwiththeeagles.com/yabbse/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=159;start=0#msg498I must say, the only evidence against George comes from a vague letter read by the Fullerton leaders, who then discredited themselves by stepping down. History, and plenty of firsthand testimony suggests that they are unreliable witnesses.
The man who I have accused, and possibly slandered and libeled, has maintained his innocence from day one.
He says that it never happened, and that the one thing that did happen, was years ago and that he had made it right then. He also claims that the Fullerton leaders wanted to take over his ministry and trumped up charges against him in order to do just that.
He has called his son Timothy, "Absalom." Timothy is regaining his stature among what is left of his father's ministry. The Assemblies are regrouping, and at present, there is no evidence to substantiate any of the claims made against George.
No one has come forward, other than unreliable, disloyal ex-followers of George. What they have come forward with is the vaguest of suggestions. There is absolutely no proof to back it up. However, it does appear that their motive was indeed to boot George, and take over his ministry. Afterall, that is exactly what several of them have done.
I have been a fool caught up in my own folly in this whole affair. The facts regarding David Geftakys, although bad, were no reason to destroy a man's ministry, and set adrift and offend those under his care.
In my foolishness, I painted George as an evil man, based on incomplete testimony, which may not have any factual basis to it at all.
Should I be accused of slander, I would have a shakey case indeed. Would these women be willing to tell their story in order to get me off the hook? Probably not....they may not even exist. Certainly, they don't want to talk.
For these reasons, I must say that I am ashamed about every bit of the website that has to do with George's adultery. None of it is true, and he has a very solid denial and explanation for why people would do this to him.
For all we know, these women made advances toward him and he rebuffed them! There isn't a single shred of evidence to the contrary, except a vauge suggestion in a short letter of excommunication.
The Fullerton leadership could very well have made it up. Certainly they had motive to do so. Certainly we all know they made up similiar stories to slander other people over the years. What is to stop them from doing this to George? You can't trust them.
The Assemblies still meeting, especially those still sympathetic to George are to be commended for their courage. They are seeing things correctly. There is no evidence that anything ever happened, and certainly the matter was handled improperly.
They have maintained this all along, and have said that the website is mostly lies......and you know what? They are correct on every count.
Accusations that cannot be substantiated are just plain wrong.
George never committed sexual sin with anyone. No one can prove that he did, and the women he allegedly had "improper sexaul contact," with either do not exist, or won't say anything.
Sure, there may be some people who know better, but the vast majortiy of people have nothing more to go on than a vague suggestion in a short letter written by men who lack credibility.
I am ashamed for what I have done. Please pray for me, that I will use wisdom in righting the wrongs that I am able to correct in this matter. I really have no proof that I can share to back up much of what I have said regarding George's alleged sexual impropriety, therefore, I must remove things, and correct things, and apologize to George and plenty of others.
Unlike the unreliable, disloyal men in Fullerton, who pulled off what appears to be a palace coup, I am going to admit my mistakes.
We can't believe anything the Fullerton leaders say, and the women they allegedly spoke to either don't exist, or won't back up a word of what they may or may not have said against George to unreliable, disloyal people.
The whole thing stinks, and I am ashamed for my part in it.
