Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

Page 66

As we discussed the possible settlement terms, the church and

Matthews’ attorneys wanted me to sign an agreement that would muzzle any further discussion of the matter. I had already created the James417 web site and they wanted that shut down also. In return, they would give back the stock I had transferred. I refused because no amount of material gain on this

earth is worth my soul. I also told them after the suit was settled I planned to give all the material to the Attorney General as I was convinced a huge crime had occurred. And, that I planned to write a book, which would contain a discussion of the church theft. The Judge told me that if I believed

a crime had been committed, it was my duty to report it. We soon agreed before this first righteous judge to a settlement. They would return the stock and I would sign a limited non-disparagement agreement.

The opposing attorneys would draft a settlement agreement and get it

back to me within a couple of weeks. Instead, they reneged on the Judge’s mediated settlement and sent a letter demanding a payment of $100,000 to get the stock certificate back. I wrote a letter to the Judge asking what was up with this — didn’t we have a settlement? He wrote back stating yes we

did, but because they had done what they did, he would then have to recuse himself from the case. Cute legal trick huh? It was an introduction to the manipulation of the court, but I really didn’t get the significance of it.

Nevertheless, a righteous judge who clearly saw the fraud that was wreaked on the church and my personal assets encouraged me. But now enters the much younger unrighteous judge, who is a stickler for “rules.”

The second hearing was before Judge #2, who was not interested in hearing anything I had to say. In fact he told me to shut up. It seems the only pertinent matter in his Court was the defendants’ summary judgment motion. They argued that I had failed to include the 11-essential elements of

fraud in the complaint I filed. As such, the “rules” dictated the judge had to dismiss the case. I pointed out the corporate meeting minutes and the state filings, which showed a prima facie fraud had occurred and that I was a victim of that fraud. It didn’t matter; the unrighteous judge ignored virtually

all of the documentation of church fraud and ruled my complaint didn’t have the requisite elements of fraud under the “rules.” Dismissed!
