Fed up! Fed Up! Fed Up!
I have been a minister for 40 years. I did not
come to Freedom Fellowship to be abused,
personally violated, dishonored, disrespected
or spiritually bullied. I did not come to Freedom
Fellowship to be walked all over. I believe the
above behaviors are unchrist like in any and all
of there forms. I am not at Freedom Fellowship
today because of the behavior that I have
personally experienced at Freedom Fellowship.
Freedom Fellowship does not win when they
run people off.
Assault is against the Law in the State of Texas.
"These elders and church leaders have done
nothing about it. Which tells you something
about their character.
Not one person has called to apologize!!
Not One!!
"
What I am doing by this public letter is resisting evil.
What happened to me was a form of assault. I have been to the sheriff's office and
that is what they said it was. It is against the Law in the State of Texas to
violate the personal space of another individual with out their permission.
I have already tried other scriptural remedies and I am tired of beating my head
against a brick wall. This letter hopefully will bring the problem before the church.
When John makes arguments and causes another brother grief over Christianity
101 doctrines, it was time to conclude that I would have to leave.
I am not the only brother or sister that has had this same thing done to them. Many brothers
and sisters have left over the last five years. Start counting them on your hands.
Please don't think that they left to start other works, most left because of sheer
frustration. I would to God that these absence brothers and sisters left because
they had matured to the point that they could start new works.
During the last five years, I have found myself trying to be a peacemaker on several
occasions.
The church has many members which have experienced the same nonsense and
have been treated poorly at other churchs as well as at Freedom Fellowship. Many
of you, I have stood for and would do again.
If you have missed me and Linda and wonder what truly happed, this does not
surprise me at all. I am quiet sure that John and Kieth really don't want to talk about
their behavior to anyone. It would not surprise me, to find that I am being slandered.
Today's churchs are so far away from the "model of the early New Testament Church"
that it does Christ a disservice.
I can easily defend my position scripturally. I have nothing to apologize for
because I am not the one that violated anyone.
If Kieth had been an employee of my company and had behaved toward a
customer in that manner, I would have fired him on the spot.
I personally have given thousands of dollars to this church and it's members.
I would have given more but, I am not a wealthy man. God has blessed me
with a good job that I have used to help others when I could and my job
has supported the ministry to which I have been called. While the ministry
that I have been called to has been a small ministry, I know that I have been
able to bless thousands over the years. I absolutely expect a public apology from
those involved.
At this point in time, I regret that I can no longer recommend Freedom Fellowship
to anyone. I would not want any one to experience what I did. John Parks should
be ashamed of himself. John Parks is his own worst enemy. It is not freedom when
one man dictates to everyone one else what is right and proper. This is not
the New Testament. All of you have seen me for over five years. You have never seen
me do anything that was improper behavior in a Church. I had one elder tell me that
I did not have the right to minister in my own home church. I don' t believe that was
new testament thinking at all. I am in right standing with all of my brothers. This is nothing
more than a hatchet job on my character. Please find something that I have done that
was truly wrong.
David Black asked me to minister in this church.
Sincerely,
Linda and Philip
God always defends me and he always will. According to your will
God.

Freedom Fellowship Church is not as free as you think.
Railroading your brother in christ is nothing but wicked.
I love the people at Freedom Fellowship Church. I am not
mad at any of you. I am simply doing the job that God has
called me to do. Please pray for me.
Thank You.
Freedom Fellowship leaders need to do a lot more study on Scriptural New Testament Life.
Freedom Fellowship used to be a place of great joy. Now Freedom Fellowship is just a bad memory.
Assault in any of its legalling defined
Forms is wrong! It is against the Law!!
"To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not it is sin."
Philip Hughes has done no evil to anyone!
Until, this matter is properly resolved, I do not recommend Freedom Fellowship to anyone.
If they will bully me don't think that you or your children are safe. How would you feel if it was your
wife , or son, or daughter. I am a minister of over 40 years. I was ordained before John was. They want
to make you believe it was my fault. Don't fall for that. Deal with the issue. I have every reason to be
angry and so do you. This is your church not just John's. Elders who do not protect the sheep including me.
should be fired. This is not a minor issue. This type of treatment can cause people major emotional harm.
Look it up on the internet. Use your head. Let me do this to your daughter and you will change your mind.
Dictatorial fellowships are often hidden behind the scenes. Don't give them your money! It is the safest
way to tell them that you will not tolerate this type of behavior. I am man enought to try to do something
about it.
The Sheriff's Department for this County is 936-760-5800.
Talk to Officer Rick Meredith!
I will be more than happy to get the Sheriff to come and explain it to the congregation.
Kieth Taliford and John Parks should be fired as well as any elder who thinks that assault is alright.
Any christian has the right not to be intimidated , harrassed or bullied by anyone, including staff.
The staff does not have any special priviliges infact they should be held to a higher standard. They
are supposed to be role models. Do something about it! Doing nothing will not change a thing
and they will go right on bulling other people behind the scenes. Private meetings are perfect for
this, that is why I am bringing this before the church.
