A PEEK INTO THE GUTTER MINDS OF LEF DEVOTEES...

Kindly use discretion while reading this particular post. We would be doing our readers disservice if we do not talk about the kind of patterns we are observing from the comments we are seeing on the blog and hence we feel the need to post this. This should sound a blaring alarm to all the people who are dealing with young boys and girls in LEF - parents elders, pastors etc. What do young boys and girls go through when they see contradictions about the moral standards in LEF?
Here are some big contradictions that our people in LEF have seen in the recent past because of Joshua Daniel and his family's dubious ways.
1. Immanuel Chakravarthy who was seen as the right hand man of Joshua Daniel family is made to get on the stage on an anniversary day celebration and confess his immorality and his sexual escapades with a married woman. What was the rationale behind giving him the stage to come and clean his dirty linen in front of such wide audience? In any typical LEF gathering, people of all ages are shoved into one hall and no idiot in LEF thinks before s/he starts his/her rambling from the stage. Why corrupt the minds of small children, adolescents and young adults with these kinds of confessions? Why should a 5 year old child sitting in the audience hear the confessions of Immanuel Chakravarthy's immorality? How is that going to benefit the child? What does hearing such lurid stuff do to the psyche of a child? What right do these LEF rogues have to steal the innocence of small children? In which civil society do we see this kind of rubbish being forced down the throats of small children all in the name of listening to "God's word?"
2. Betty Daniel's boy friend came in as a May retreat attendee in the 2011 and all these young boys and girls saw him as yet another white skin man and ran to him to get prayed over and get his autographs. All LEF people know Betty Daniel was single and divorced and they see this woman flirting with that pastor guy she brought along to the retreat. She did all of this while playing piano and singing in May retreat right under the nose of Joshua Daniel. To top it all, all of Betty's escapades happened while Joshua Daniel was bashing up people with his holiness talk. Please remember that all of this happened when many young girls and boys were standing in big marriage queues in front of Joshua Daniel's room. And most of these young people are forced into marriages with spouses whom they have never seen/known/ talked to/ before in most cases. Of course, the punch line is all of them were told to find God's will after Joshua Daniel gave his will. As this is not enough, Betty Daniel's boy friend posted all the exotic pictures from the 2011 India trip he took with Betty Daniel, daughter of Joshua Daniel, the holiness crusader of the century on FB. These pictures ranged from those taken from Masinagudi (the resort home of Daniels) to those taken in London. All these pictures are now seen by all the boys and girls who are "friends" with Betty and her then boy friend on FB. (Just a side note- Betty keeps reminding people that she has to keep adding more FB profiles as more and more lost sheep want to become her friends!!!)
While Betty's way of life may be common place in the western society, people need to understand Indians don't sit well with this kind of nonsense and more so in LEF setting where people are bashed up day in day out on how to lead holy lives. Even though a lot of questions arise in the minds of LEF people when they see such blatant contradictions, they can never voice them out. Even if some young people voice out their questions about things like these, they are quickly snubbed with another dose of Godly admonitions and threats of being cursed for "touching the God's anointed." 
While people are still coming to terms with Immanuel Chakravarthy's confessions, Betty Daniel posts the pictures of her third marriage on FB. And then another ignominious letter banning Betty Daniel for grieving God in following her own will in her third marriage is sent out to all the LEF centers. Apparently the dying man Joshua Daniel wrote this letter banning his daughter from LEF stages once and for all and instructed that this letter be read in all the LEF centers during Sunday service, Wednesday service and also Saturday fasting prayers. Who were in the audience when this letter was read? Thousands of LEF people from remote villages, small towns and big cities heard this obscene letter read from LEF pulpits. Mind you, the audience makes up people of all ages - small children to old people!!!All that the people can conclude is that Joshua Daniel followed some three strikes rule to give his final verdict to banish his daughter to wilderness. Why this righteous reaction when Betty got married for the third time? Why there was no such noise the first two times? May be Joshua Daniel pardoned the last two marriages out of his fatherly love and magnanimity but the third one seemed to be like the last straw that broke the camel's back. 
But then our young children have the same question - Didn't Joshua Daniel see his daughter's third marriage coming just like he didn't see Immanuel Chakravarthy's wickedness till it was all busted?
3.Then came the all infamous John Branch's dark life.This man's home church in Indiana found out that he was having a long term illicit relationship with his secretary while he was actually preaching to LEF people in May retreat in 2015. Within months, John Branch got divorced and we hear he married the woman he was flirting with behind his wife, Marcia's back. As this is not enough, a lot of LEF youngsters also started hearing that John Branch went out on a vacation with Lydia Daniel right after May retreat. All of this is happening while Lily Daniel and John Daniel are lashing out people from LEF pulpits trying to make good the loss of Joshua Daniel's death.
These are just the few things we were made aware of. We don't how many more such contradicting things our young children are seeing in LEF communities.
Have any of these LEF rogues wondered as to what these kinds of contradictions do to the psyche of thousands of young children who are trapped in this LEF mess? We have one sample of what contradictions like these can do to the minds of young people.
Our sample specimen is a guy called Anil who started posting comments on this blog with what seemed like righteous indignation to defend the God's anointed, the Daniels.
After seeing a couple of comments from him, we posted on this blog that his comments won't be entertained anymore till he proceeds with legal action against us as we challenged him to do. He was still persistent and sent two more comments:
Comment 1:
look, hindus know that sin will take hold of you if you talk ill of a died person. ask any hindu broughtups..they'll tell you all.. you, christians, don't have any sense as hindus have had.....look, i'm not getting a penny from daniel's to covet... they're rich... i'm nowhere. no need to point out my status..ok? you should have asked JD, when he's alive. you never did it.. now you're posting all.... it's not good for you...one board member and one medical doctor are also a part of this blog.. got it? as i told you, you don't have any guts in life to come out. why didn't you post my last message? dar gaya naa? chumma pesurum...evariki teliyadu..nee sangathi...at least you know "mee saangla ahe"?... what do you know in life? just harassing people.. --anil.
Comment 2: 
dear whistleblower, you don't know about me..that's why you're telling me all nonsense. can i tell you about myself? 1. i've never entered into cine theater for 16 years. 2. i've never stolen anywhere since i was 15. but i did at home. 3. i've never touched cigar and hot drinks in life. 4. when god spoke to me not to enter into cine industry, it's happened for 15 years. 5. i've never copied in exams since tenth class. etc...hwz it possible? because jesus changed me.. it's all jesus....as you're thinking i was not..there're many interesting facts in my life. moreover, i'm not even close to JJD & Co. so i'm nothing in their sight. what do you have tell me? bible says "you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor". look whistleblower, having paid attention to talebearers, you've sucked the lives of innocent. what kind of character do you have in life? if you break a single commandment, you've broken all commandments in life. and you're stealing someone's good reputation --anil.
When he realized that we stopped posting his comments, this Anil who so far was preaching  about Jesus' love and God's commandments started sending in comments with sexual content written in very bad taste. While we do not want to post his latest comment, we feel we need to post this for people who are reading this blog to understand what kind of damaged minds some of these Daniel die hard loyalists have. We have edited out some words he used that referred to body parts with XXX as we cannot stoop down so low to type those words out.
Comment 3: 
you know? putting XXXXX into XXXXXX is called sex. sex thrills you a lot in the confinement of marriage..at the same time, illegal sex mars you a lot in life and gives you more kick than the former... select: sex in marriage or illegal sex?
While we are immune to this kind of nonsense and know better not drop dead and shut down the blog in the fear that more such comments may make their way, we also want our readers to understand the gravity of the situation with the youngsters growing up in LEF. We need to ask a fundamental question. How did our youngsters develop such split personalities? Imagine what will happen to the life of an innocent girl who gets married to a pervert like Anil? Guys like Anil might be the ones who will stand on their heads in front of Daniels to impress them. Anil might even go and boast that he is bashing up the whistle blowers and that WBers are scared of him and his comments and that's why his comments are not being published. If Anil is not yet married, he might be the kind of guy who will get the most priced girl as a reward for his devotion to Daniels and LEF. If Anil is already married, one can only imagine what kind of hell his wife might be growing through. In any case, the under lying problem for erratic behaviors such as these lie else where. We all need to understand that the disease is deep rooted and what we are seeing are the symptoms. This kind of loss of moral compass and perversion in people is seen when people are confused, battered and cannot cope with the contradictions they see, especially when these contradictions are seen in the lives of people who claim to be the bearers of divine truth. 
My dear friends, at the turn of another new year, please reconsider your decisions about LEF. Please do not ruin the lives of young children. Some of the older people have gotten used to this rot and have become rotten themselves. Our young children have their entire lives ahead of them. Please take your precious children and run away from this filth. Our young children deserve the best. They definitely don't deserve being fed husk. Our children are not pigs to be left to wallow in this filth in LEF. Our children are worth more and LEF and its rogues have nothing good to offer to our growing children except husk that is fed to the pigs and gutter and sewage for the pigs roll in. These rogues may be getting ready for another circus show to put up for our young children which they call "Student's retreat." If it is just a circus show, may be we won't be this worried. But these retreats are turning out to be gatherings for our kids to go and get fed husk and a place where our kids are thrown into the gutter. We were skeptical when someone mentioned to us earlier that all that these young boys do when they go to retreats in Beulah Garden is get out their phones and point them at the girls and zoom their cameras and watch the girls. Seeing these comments from Anil, we are afraid that what we heard from this person about what our  boys and girls are doing at the retreats may actually be true. This John Daniel and his wife are the biggest fools on the earth to show case their young growing girls on the stage if this is what the boys in the audience are doing. This kind of moral debacle happens when young children see that the emperors (Daniels and their stooges) in LEF are walking naked. Who knows which evil and filthy man John Daniel will now bring to fill the vacancy that was created by the John Branch's disappearance? How can you be sure it won't be another John Branch type of guy if not worse?
We plead with you on the first day of this New Year to open your eyes and see things. Protect your precious children and your families!!!
May the New Year give us a break from these LEF predators. We wish you all a peaceful and prosperous New year.

CELEBRATE WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE !!!




IF YOUR FAMILY CANNOT COME AROUND A TABLE LIKE THIS DURING THIS FESTIVE SEASON, SOMETHING WENT WRONG TERRIBLY SOMEWHERE!!!! 

A very happy festive season to all our readers. Please take time off to spend time with your family and friends. Don't forget that your spouse and your children will be the ones who will stick around with you longer than anybody else during your earthly journey. During this festive season, please look out for those individuals and families whose families are shattered because of LEF. There may be a lonely spouse whose wife/husband my have been hijacked by LEF and this person may be shedding bitter tears out of sheer helplessness. There may be parents who lost their children to LEF. There may be children who lost their parents to LEF. Please be kind and mindful of individuals who are hurting because of harm done to them and their families by Lily Daniel and her stooges and LEF at large. No philosophy and dogma can justify why a family cannot sit around a table and enjoy a happy meal on what is supposed to be a day to celebrate the birth of a savior. If LEF has done this to you or to any family you know, then please re-evaluate your belief system before it is too late. All amends can be made only when there is breath in your nostrils. The unsaid words and unmended relationships are the perfect recipe for a miserable death. As many comments on this blog indicate, Joshua Daniel seems to have had such a death. Let not LEF and its misguided philosophies drive you to a point of no return just like it did to Joshua Daniel. The choices you make today decide your eternal destiny. What we are today is the sum of all the choices we made. All of us are one choice away from eternal bliss or eternal misery at every juncture of our lives. It is the wise and prudent who chose with eternity in mind. Chose well!!! 
We once again wish you a very happy time with your families.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS MESSAGE!!!

Here is a message from one of our contributors who wanted to share this with our readers. 
-----------------------------------------------------------
           CHRISTMAS - A TIME TO SHARE 
The Christmas season has always been a season to share with friends and families. It’s a time of reunion. But LEF doesn’t seem to follow any of those principles. People in LEF don’t follow the word of God as they claim to be doing. Will they at least follow customary principles? No, No. They can’t follow. How do we know they don’t follow these customary traditions?  The place to start would be Beulah Gardens.  Bible students in Beulah Gardens or Headquarters are not allowed to go home for Christmas. They cannot get a break from this drudgery even during this festive season. If they absolutely need to go and help in the ministry of their aged parents or if they are newly married and need to spend time with their parents and families, they have to get permission of so many crooks on the way. They have to first approach Suresh Marcus, who makes a big drama and asks a number of questions and then he says, “I will let you know whether you should go home for Christmas or not. Meet me later.” Otherwise he will say- “I will ask Bro. John Daniel for permission to send you.” Who are these rouges to control the lives of those who committed their lives for the work of God and got caught in the so called Bible College trap? 
But some of these stooges in Beulah Garden and HQ (whose permission these poor boys and girls need) do not need any permission to freely move in and out to Andhra Pradesh and swindle money in the name of Christmas carols, Semi Christmas celebrations. Christmas season is not the season to share in LEF but a time for financial turnover. During this seaon LEF makes money not in thousands but in Lakhs!!! People have started business in the name of God and this festival saason has become a peak time for money making. May I ask – “ These rouges who have been placed to take care of Beulah Gardens, what work do they have in Andhra Pradesh - mainly in Nellore, Krishna, and Godavari districts? Does anyone question them? Oh, No!!! If anyone questions, then their whole family is in trouble. So, all Bible college students quietly shut their mouths. Many people in Andhra are desperately looking for a savior to save them from the clutches of these leaches which are sucking out all that they can from the people. 
Christmas is a time of Sharing. ”God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son…”
God shared His Son Jesus with Mary, to give birth and Joseph to Protect Him,
They in turn Shared Jesus with the People and the world,
But, The People gave Jesus Over to the Cross,
Cross handed Jesus over to the grave,
Grave could not just keep Jesus for itself but gave Him up to Resurrection,
Resurrected Christ was given to the Disciples to preach about Him,
Disciples Shared Jesus with the Church
In this Church LEF, Jesus has been handed over to the Evangelists (as called in LEF).
And these LEF Evangelists’ instead of sharing Jesus with the world, they are using Jesus to conduct business in the name of Jesus. 
What work do these people who have been called for the work of the Lord have other than share the love of Jesus with those who know not His love during these Christmas time? Instead of fulfilling this basic missions, the boys and girls are made to sell printed calendars and books. They are asked to brainstorm ideas to effectively boost the sale of these wall and pocket calendars and print books to fill the ware house for the upcoming Students Camp and Andhra and Telangana Revival Campaigns. What a sad state???

The post about the missing mother and child on the child’s first Birthday posted sometime back in month of August reminds of the poem Mary’ dream produced below:
Mary's Dream: 
I had a dream – said Mary to Joseph
I don't understand it, but I think it was about a birthday celebration for our son.
The people in my dream had been preparing for about six weeks.
They had decorated the house and bought new clothes.
They'd gone shopping many times and bought many elaborate gifts.
It was peculiar, though, because the presents weren't for our son.
They wrapped them in beautiful paper and stacked them under a tree.
Yes, a tree, Joseph, right inside their homes! They'd decorated the tree with sparkling ornaments.
There was a figure like an angel on the top of the tree.
Everyone was laughing and happy.They gave the gifts to each other, Joseph, but not to our son.
I don't think they even knew him. They never mentioned his name.
----------------------------------------------------------
When Mary was done narrating her dream, both Mary and Joseph sighed with relief and Joseph said to his wife –“Don’t worry, dear. It’s only a dream.” Mary could not shake the dream off and said to Joseph – “I hope my dream never comes true.” 
Little did Mary know that her dream is the nightmare that is haunting LEF today. LEF is perhaps the only church in the world whose elders made a little child not be to be wanted at his own birthday party when they ate like gluttons at the birthday party not long ago where both the mom and the birthday child were both missing.  That is the way of LEF. The fat bellies who attended and ate at the birthday party of the missing birthday child are like the ruthless men Herod used to kill all the male children after the birth of Jesus.
During this Christmas season much prominence is given to the cultural activities, dances, conducting games and matches, making money, selling books, CDs DVD’s etc. in LEF. There is no room for the Child born and placed in the manger. The reason they don’t want Jesus is that if Jesus is invited, all their show and games would have to come to an end. So they don’t want Him. Let people who attend LEF examine what these LEF rogues are doing with Jesus!!! You may ask, “Can Jesus be merchandised?” Yes, that is what is happening in many Carols and semi Christmas celebrations and may be even on Christmas day in LEF.  So, let us be warned and let people in LEF know that they cannot play these games for too long as Jesus is not that helpless child any more but the one who turned the tables of those who did business in the temple.

THIS IS ABOUT MARRIAGES IN LEF...

We wanted to open the floor for people to throw some light on LEF marriage system. Please keep the discussions healthy. A lot of LEF youngsters are reading this blog regularly. Please contribute wisely so that our youngsters who are awaiting marriages are benefited by this discussion. Here is the consolidation of some of the comments on the this topic.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Marriages will be done in LEF by ensuring the below criteria.
Black boy matched with White girl.
White boy matched with Black girl.
Short boy matched with long girl.
Long boy matched with short girl.
Thin boy matched with stout girl.
Stout boy matched with thin girl.

-----------------------------------------------------------
At about christmastime 56 years back the the late Joshua Daniel married Lily Daniel.While At about christmastime 56 years back the the late Joshua Daniel  always spoke against love marriages At about christmastime 56 years back the the late Joshua Daniel's marriage itself is something for people to analyse and understand.I am quoting what was mentioned in the biography of his dad and At about Christmas time 56 years back the the late Joshua Daniel 's autobiographies.
At about Christmas time 56 years back the the late Joshua Daniel  was driving a car and saw Lily Daniel crossing the road and it seems the lord spoke to him that he has to marry her.So the proposal was discussed and agreed between Lily Daniel's mom and Joshua Daniel's parents.
Lily Daniel had sisters to be married so Joshua Daniel and LD waited for some time and later got married during the Christmas vacation at Christ Church,Mount Road .(JD did not get married in any LEF prayer hall).
Joshua Daniel got engaged and courted for about 2 years and then married Lily Daniel.
Questions:
Did Joshua Daniel a Telugu Reddy marry a Tamil Nadar Doctor (daughter of a respected Engg College Professor) because it was the lord's will?
Was it ethically right for Joshua Daniel and his parents to propose marriage to Lily Daniel when there was an older sister who was not married during the proposal?.
If some one had seen a girl on the road and liked her /loved her and got married by mutual consent wouldn't the couple be branded as people who fell for the lust of the eyes and the flesh?
Conclusion:Joshua Daniel's marriage to Lily Daniel was a strategic decision .The late 50's saw the exodus of many christian Nadars from southern Tamilnadu to Chennai.After this proposal was clinched many people joined LEF. Dr.Vijaysingh and many more high profile nadars joined LEF. Joshua Daniel was very calculative and weighed all options and married someone above him in social status and his marriage to a doctor made him an ICON.Those days a commoner marrying a doctor lady was spectacular .
JD messed up the lives of many women doctors forcing them to marry lesser qualified Bible College Students and laid the foundation for many failure marriages.I will write more on that later.
_________________________________________

Joshua Daniel is not a Reddy. Somebody did a little bit of research on Daniel family and found out that N. Daniel came from the lowest rungs of Indian caste hierarchy but Devenamma Daniel seems to have had some roots from Telugu bourgeois community. But definitely neither Joshua Daniel nor his ancestors were born with silver spoon as some are made to believe in LEF
-----------------------------------------------------------
In LEF JD and many evangelists enforced their thinking on marriages & alliances based on their assessment saying that it was god's will.This was happening from the 1960's till about 2010.I will explain it like this.

a)The parents of a girl who worships in LEF will speak to the local evangelist about their daughter who is to be married and would seek their help in identifying suitable partners.

b)The Evangelist would respond Ok Brother we will pray about it and i will ask brother joe .

c)The parents wait patiently for Joe to favourably respond.The evangelist would get to meet Joe during the Summer Retreat ,Students Retreat or in a Revival meeting.

d)Joe would weigh all factors and his first option would be to marry the girl to a Bible College Student.

e) If there were grooms in secular professions who sought prospective alliances those where identified as chosen few for JD's immediate circle of friends and relatives.

f)The Girl and the Guy will be intimated by the evangelist or JD as the groom /bride chosen by god and they would be asked to pray and find the will of God.
g)If there is no will of God they will be treated as disobedient people who dared to defy the will of God(will of JD).
h)In most situations those who rejected a proposal are not given a second chance .
i)There would a few few young people who would get a second chanced if they reject option B then they are treated as disobedient people.
j)The point to be noted here is that even if you get married you would end up marrying only after you have crossed the ideal years for marriage (27 for grooms and 23 for girls).
Marriage is over and then reality begins to strike in .
The couple realise that they do not have any compatibility and thats when problems begin.Now it is time for LEF to step in.
a)The LEF Evangelist and his wife the Nosey people poke their nose to understand the problem.
b)This problem becomes a prayer burden and people pray over it loudly in the mid week prayer meetings and fasting & prayer causing a lot of embarrassment to the couple and to their families.
c)As time progresses the couple bury their differences and learn to live in Harmony .So this becomes the success story of LEF marriages and people say that Bro.Joe prayed and counselled them.
(or)
Problems continue but children are born and children are raised in a conflict zone where they are witness to parents who have nothing in common .The only thing that is common is LEF faith.Children grow up not knowing what it is to live in a happy home and when it is time for them to marry they end up doing the same mistakes done by their parents.
I have witnessed many bad marriages of Fellowshipers who were/whose parents were big financial contributors to LEF during my association with the Organization.
I would strongly advise any person who wishes to get married to make their choices after prayer and careful consideration of all ground realities .Dont rush in to marriage.It is good to get married but it is important to get married to the right person.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Some classic cases of marriages brokered by JD with his evangelists using their fuzzy logic (God's will)in LEF.I will try my best to keep it as discreet as possible.
The objective of my comment is to warn people against marrying in the LEF framework (God's will enforcement)
a) A Bible College Student and a Doctor were married as JD felt it was God's will.They served after the marriage setting up a gospel clinic and LEF centre in God's own country.They had children but split up.
b) A Bible College Student from South Tamilnadu married an Andhra Evangelist's daughter as JD felt it was God's will.Two years after the marriage the girl died leaving a baby.JD brokered marriage -2 for this person with a girl from north east.After some time this evangelist broke away from LEF and set up his own centre carrying away a sizeable number of the congregation.
c)A gentleman from the Temple Town of Tamilnadu was working in the Capital of India.He was asked to marry a Nursing Professional who was senior to him in age (5 or 6 years).He married and had children of the marriage.He was very closely associated with JD but later politics took toll on his relationship with JD and he quit LEF.
d)There was a worship leader who worked in the capital of Telangana and hailed from the capital of Tamilnadu.He was asked to marry a Bihari Girl who was not medically fit for marriage.The marriage was solemnised by JD in the National Capital and the marriage failed.The marriage ended in a divorce but now i hear that the gentleman has married again and is in ministry outside LEF.
e) There was a very nice family from the capital of Tamilnadu who as a family gave their time,treasure and talent to LEF throughout the year.Their older daughter was married to an LEF Evangelist trainee.They married and moved to the North East.The girl developed medical complications and died.The LEF Evangelist trainee now an evangelist married again (brokered and moderated by JD)and has moved out of full time ministry into a secular job .
Friends i warn you.Marriage is an event which must happen only once in lifetime.You should not look at marriage as Lizard did (Changing husbands frequently).Please pray and make the right choices.If you are unhappy over your marriage pray to god and ask for his intervention.Don't allow your evangelist or the goonda family room to interfere in your life.

DON'T SAY YOU ARE NOT WARNED, LEF BOARD MEMBERS !!!

Thank you, dear friends for all the encouragement. What we write on this blog is not a knee jerk reaction. This is the consolidation of our findings and observations of many many years. Some people who cannot handle to face the reality of what is being exposed on this blog have conveniently said that we are writing on this blog to gain popularity and for "vain glory." "Gain popularity and become famous" for what may we ask? Is it to contest in the next election in Tamil Nadu and woo the voters to vote for us? These accusations are extremely silly and show how immature and foolish some people in LEF are. It just shows how crooked the thinking of people in LEF has become. Is there not such a thing as doing the right thing just for the sake of doing the right thing? When did the value system in LEF become so eroded that people have forgotten to leave alone do the right thing but also not even recognize that we who are trying to expose the Daniel family rot are doing the right thing? Aren't some of these people in LEF icons for fighting corruption in government offices where they worked? Did we not have people in LEF who refused to bend their knees in front of their corrupt bosses? Did we not have people in LEF who were willing to take a transfer or forego a promotion for opposing their corrupt secular leaders? What happened to all that morality? Did we not have people in LEF who risked their own safety to help and defend the poor? What happened to that conviction to do that right thing at any cost? How did we become so complacent so as to accept evil that is happening in the church? How are we able to shrug our soldiers and walk away saying that these people who are doing this evil in the church are answerable to God and not confront their evil deeds? If we are able to walk away without confronting the evil people in the church today, why did we not do the same thing when we faced corruption in our offices? Was what we did in our government jobs just a grand show of our self- righteousness or what you are doing now in the church the show of Godly righteousness? There were some high ranking officials in LEF who risked their own lives to protect the government money and machinery which they were entrusted with. If someone could be so zealous to fight corruption in their secular jobs and protect government's money, why would they not show the same zeal to protect God's money? What is the reason for this decline in morality in LEF? Where, when and how did LEF take the wrong turn to let this kind of moral debacle? How did LEF pulpits become so filthy and permissive that a man like John Branch who while living in gross immorality felt absolutely at home to walk on to the LEF pulpits with a big Bible in hand to stand and preach to thousands? How did LEF pulpits which are adorned with banners saying -"LET US WORSHIP THE LORD IN THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS" did not make a man like John Branch tremble to stand up and preach? What are we missing here? How did so many people in LEF become so blind as to not see this debacle coming? What exactly are parents of teenagers and college students expecting their children to receive when packing off their children to go to student's retreats? These are some questions the youngsters in LEF need to ask their die-hard LEF loyalist parents and elders in their own churches? 
Now we hear that HQ is going to be sold. From reliable sources, we have gathered that this sale is just an eye wash. It appears that LEF has defaulted on payments on the loan they have taken by mortgaging HQ property 12 years ago to some rich Marwari guy. The interest on the loan and the principal amount has added up to so much that they are now forced to part with this property and it is kind of shocking that LEF may not make any money out of this sale. We are yet to verify the authenticity of this information and we will post it as we get more information on this. We ask for help if someone can get more information on this HQ sale issue. We greatly appreciate if someone can cross-verify this information for us. If this information is true, then we have more to worry about. What other LEF properties are mortgaged and why? Where did all the money go? Was it paid in dollars to Daniels in US? These are some big questions that we need to dig out answers for? What were the board members doing while all of these properties were mortgaged? Did they just sign on the dotted lines without actually reading what they were signing? Were the signatures forged? Even the Gandhi family that ruled India for over 60 years is being chased by the present BJP government for a meager 90 crores. Gandhis are worth few lakhs of crores but are having to face the music for cheating the government for just 90 crores in the National Herald case. If LEF and Daniel family did do spurious things, they will not be spared by the present Indian government. This is to the board members of LEF- please for a moment do not think that you can escape on the grounds of being ignorant. You signed an oath to protect the interest of the organization and not that of Daniel family. There is a huge difference!!! If you by any chance feel that you may have been duped into signing something without reading what you have signed for, it is time to wake up and clean the mess and clear your name out of it. No board member can escape saying that - Joshua Daniel, Immanuel Chakravarthy, John Daniel, Lily Daniel or Lydia Daniel asked us to sign and so we just trusted them and signed. Every board member will be booked as accomplices for the crimes this Daniel family committed when things come to light. 40 years we managed without being caught and so for the next 40 years we will not be caught is a stupid way of hoodwinking yourselves to eventually end up in jail. Think about all the blank papers and blank cheques you signed and gave to Joshua Daniel and his rogue team. Go and clear yourself before the BJP government comes and knocks on your door asking for explanations.
Please send us an email at savelefi@hotmail.com with any details you might have to prevent this supposed sale of HQ by this rogue family and its stooges.

HERE IS THE LATEST REPORT ON THE AUDIENCE TO THIS BLOG AS WE REACH THE 200,000 VIEWS MARK!!!

Dear readers, 
We have made a relentless effort to make you aware of the rot in LEF. We have faced many threats  and  some people have gone as far as to organize themselves into "prayer groups" to influence "GOD" to send His wrath on us for touching the "Lord's anointed." For records, none of us who are writing on this blog experienced God's wrath but we see that God is blessing our efforts to make some people realize that LEF is a bottomless pit and move out from it to save their own souls.
A lot of LEF preachers used and are using their pulpits to make announcements to tell people not to go and read what is posted on the blog. The baby grand child of Daniel family, Caleb Daniel topped the list. Some time soon LEF preachers may have the "blog issue" added to their list of prayer burdens that they share before starting a "prayer session." The announcement may go something like - pray for up coming Thanksgiving retreat in US, Christmas Carol services, student retreat, Stuartpuram retreat...also, don't forget to pray about the bloggers so that they may be controlled by the power of the cross and shed blood of Jesus Christ. Please pray that the these bloggers realize that "no weapon formed against God's anointed aka Daniel family will prosper." Little did these LEF fools realize that a lot of people came to know about the blog not from friends and relatives but from LEF preachers. We would be amiss if we do not thank Betty for her generous advertising. Here is the latest audience stat to the blog. 
We just hope that the blog helped people to know what kind of rot has been piling up in LEF for years and decide their further course of action. It is hard to teach the old generation of LEF who have spent most of their lives in LEF communities.The world outside is a stranger to them and most of them are afraid to lose the "false sense of security" they feel in LEF. Most of these older people ridiculed people of other churches and now their pride won't allow them to accept that more wickedness is found in LEF than what is found in mainstream churches. Most of the older generation LEF people are in the last leg of their earthly journeys and hence they have resigned themselves to their plight. The realization that they have been living a lie their entire lives is taking its toll on many LEF loyalists. As much as we want to help them come out, we know that it is not something we can achieve with the limited resources we have at our disposal. 
It is the young people whom we are concerned about who have their entire lives ahead of them. We just hope that another generation of young people are not hoodwinked by the old bandicoots in LEF. Fortunately we are able to connect with many many young people through this channel. The reach that we have through social media helped us to reach places and people which was unthinkable just 5 years ago. 
We would like to thank those who contribute to the blog and those who have acted in good conscience to act appropriately based on the facts presented on the blog. Our intent is not to scandalize any innocent person. We are very careful to verify all the facts before posting them. We apologize if there were any comments on the blog that seemed unfair to any one individual who really has nothing to do with the rot in LEF. We just hope that what we brought out in this blog presented each person with enough information to carefully analyze and determine the credibility of LEF and its preaching to decide if they need to severe their ties with LEF if that deems fit. Thank you all again for visiting the blog and please continue your good work of making people aware.

THIS IS IN ANSWER TO BETTY DANIEL'S RANTINGS...

David Paul wrote earlier-
"Betty mentioned Gunalan, Daniel mani along with IC bullying. I think Gunalan, Daniel mani are still in LEF hq. Why they aren't removed? Why Betty unfriended David Paul when he posted some of the news of this blog if she hates anonymous? - David Paul 
----------------------------------------------------------
Here is our response: 
David Paul, how is it surprising that Betty Daniel unfriended you on FB? That's the way the Daniel family operates and this great lady Betty who wants to project herself as some kind of "super natural miracle worker" is no exception. You may not be able to see her latest post on FB but she is screaming and yelling to get attention. Too bad nobody has time to pay attention to her drama. Like someone wrote earlier, people are sick and tired of this cursed family's drama. The great lady wanted the pictures of HQ to be posted. Is it for her to assess the loss to what they believe as their “ancestral property?” This real estate madam surely has her eyes on some of these pricey properties of LEF. This rogue family that has not made any kind of tangible contributions either financially or physically in building these palatial buildings that were all built with the hard earned money of thousands of LEF devotees feels entitled to have ownership of LEF properties. Let us see if Betty Daniel will now bring her "missionary husband" to come and help in cleaning up the Madras city that is suffering due to floods. This "missionary woman" is all worried about the HQ building? Doesn't she need updates on the welfare of the thousands of "sheep" of LEF who are now called the "persecuted church?" Who are the persecutors of these innocent sheep? Her mom, brother and sister and the goonda team that they head are the persecutors. What this woman Betty needs to sort out behind closed doors with her family members, she brings out to the streets and then gets wild if people show the mirror to her. No wonder someone said she is like "bull in a china shop," who destroys everything that she comes in contact with. Wonder what family genes are responsible for such personality traits...Her greatest complaint is that people who are writing on this blog are anonymous. The entire Daniel family clan knows who is behind this blog. We did dare them to take us to court. Why is there no action from their side to come after us to nail us if they feel "bullied" by us? Even if we post the pictures of the administrator of this blog and make our names "PUBLIC," we can bet you that this entire Daniel family cannot do a single thing to nail us. That day is not too far when we will post our names to the blog. The only reason we allowed people to post anonymously is to protect vulnerable people who may not otherwise share their woes for the fear of being retaliated by this rogue team for telling the truth. It is not because we are afraid of these goonda family and their goonda threats. We did have Bro. Sathy's letter posted to the blog. Did anybody from this corrupt Daniel family dare to go and ask him why he released his letter to the whistle blowers? Bro. Sathy is no stranger to Daniel family members and if they really wanted to sort things out and address the grievances of LEF people, they could have easily done that instead of barking from pulpits. The Daniel family members including Betty are just not used to being questioned about their double lives and their hypocrisy and when people question them, they shed crocodile tears that they are being bullied. Joshua Daniel was fooled by Immanuel Chakravarthy, Gunalan and Daniel Mani not because Joshua Daniel was some kind of gullible child but because it served him well to hide under the cover of being "cheated" and allow these rogues to carry out and execute vicious plans that Joshua Daniel himself could not carry out. He used his stooges to run wild and do evil as it suited him well. How long can someone stay cheated? 14 years? What kind of fool claims to be cheated for 14 long years? What stopped the great Joshua Daniel to get rid of Gunalan, Daniel Mani and all the other "evil" people who cheated him at the same time he got rid of Immanuel Chakravarthy? Did he not know that they were part of the same "evil" team? This deranged female Betty Daniel wants people to fall for her silly games and put her dead dad on some high pedestal and worship him. Joshua Daniel simply exploited the trust and love people had for him to manipulate them and control them to carry out his own selfish agenda. Hundreds of evangelists sent the money that was collected "locally" for years implicitly trusting Joshua Daniel to put it to good use such as what LEF people believe as "extension of God's kingdom." Whose kingdom did Daniel family extend using all this money thousands of people sacrificially gave? Whom did Joshua Daniel appoint to take care of this money? Immanuel Chakravarthy of all people? A guy who Betty now claims was sacked from his secular job for forging signatures. Shouldn't a man like Joshua Daniel do due diligence before allowing these people to run the affairs of LEF? Even the so called "greedy" corporations do back ground checks before hiring people and shouldn't an organization like LEF and the long term head of LEF Joshua Daniel do proper background checks of these men before entrusting money and women to these evil men? Whom is Betty trying to hoodwink with her nonsense of -"my dad got cheated." To top it all, she expects people to join her rally against people who are exposing the dark deeds of her family with her stupid slogan of "the credibility of whistle blowers is blown." May we ask how has our credibility blown? Is it because it was reported here that John Branch whom Daniel family patronized for over 10 years has broken his marriage vows with an illicit extra - marital relationships possibly with a Daniel family female along with having an affair with his secretary? What according to Betty makes whistle blowers less credible? Can someone please find out from her and post her response here?

THIS IS TO THROW SOME LIGHT ON THE THEOLOGICAL SOUNDNESS OR THE LACK OF IT IN LEF STALWARTS...

How does one become a preacher in LEF? Is he/she required to have any kind of qualifications or credentials? When John Daniel walks up on the stage with his big Bible in hand to preach about it and from it, is it too much expect that he gets his facts right? At least facts which can be verified...Not sure if they still have what used to be called as Children's Retreats in LEF and at the end of each day they would have Bible quizzes by age. 
Imagine that one of the questions on the quiz was- 
Who sat at Jesus' feet? 
A) Noah
B) Peter
C) Moses
D) David
Will Noah be the correct answer for this factual question? 
There are some fools who are trying to defend John Daniel's stupidity who started his sermon in Guyana Retreat November 19th saying that Noah sat at Jesus' feet. Given that John Daniel is the main preacher in all LEF's big conventions, shouldn't this grown man have the diligence to have the facts right about whom he is preaching? 
Those of you who have an access to computer, please do yourselves a favor and listen to some of these messages that are "archived." What right do some of you have to drag new people to LEF centres only to be fed husk by these ignominious preachers? preachers who cannot get their facts right; preachers who cannot keep up with their own marriage vows; preachers who use LEF stages to promote hate with their disgusted facial expressions; preachers who use LEF stages to show off to people the greatness of their ancestry. As painful as it was to listen to John Daniel's ramblings, we listened to his "sermon" to see if there was any sense of remorse or guilt with the latest exposure of John Branch's moral failures. There was no sign of regret or shame but just plain arrogance to show off to people that John Daniel and his great family are all part of some "royal lineage." It was more than obvious that John Daniel is as foolishly arrogant as the vain emperor who while believing that he wore the most splendid and magical clothes was in fact naked. For those of you who do not know the story of the foolish and the arrogant emperor, here is the link (http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheEmperorsNewClothes_e.html)
Here is also the link to the "sermon" of John Daniel gave on November 19th.
http://www.lefi.org/2015GuyanaArchive.html.
If someone has written down the "sermon" of John Daniel (remember people in LEF are taught to write down the messages in their notebooks so that they can go home and meditate on the word of God!!!), what would be some of the highlights:
1. Noah sat at Jesus' feet
2. John Daniel got his fence repaired and the fence guy did not take his cheque with him when he was going and John Daniel's conscience pricked him so hard that he called the fence repair guy to turn around and come back and get the cheque. Also, John Daniel did not not want that envelope to take up the square footage on his desk.
3. John Daniel gets to tell the CEO of a company about his paying the fence repair guy the money due to him to convict that CEO that he was an unrighteous because he came to ask for passage. 
4. John Daniel hates Indians, especially those who are successful (such as a CEO) as all Indians are heathen.
5. John Daniel's wife comes from a rich family that used to take vacations in Europe but after coming to the "Lord," she did not go with her family on vacations. Oh, by the way, her dad died some years ago and said his daughter was right and he was wrong. Mom also said the same thing. His wife has two brothers. One came to the Lord and the other will also come to the Lord as they are praying. Now his wife has become a "corner stone" of the family.
6. John Daniel's friends hid in the bushes and asked him to come and hide in the bushes to smoke but John Daniel refused to go because he had to study.
7. John Daniel's dad, Joshua Daniel loved to drive fast in a car and God showed John Daniel's grand father that there was going to be danger ahead. Though his grand father warned that there was danger, Joshua Daniel did not heed to advice. The car turned over three times but his grand parents and dad were not harmed because no harm can happen to Daniel family as they always obey God. One important detail about this car episode is that it was just not any ordinary car but "Studebaker."
8. Apart from the above main points, there were some side notes as to how people these days are trying to throw things under the rug and hide them. John Daniel, were you by any chance referring to your family's desperate attempt to put John Branch's episode under the rug?
9. John Daniel, you also mentioned that a lot of Indian people make their workers come back for their wages as they do not pay them on time. We wonder how you would know all this as you never had any kind real life experience in India. Did you gather this information from the hallucinated cock and bull stories your dad told LEF people for over 5 decades? Or better still, did you by any chance see your own family members do this to many poor LEF workers? Now that you dared to talk about the workman being worthy of the wages, can you make a list of how much money your family owes for the free service that you demand from the poor LEF people who have been under servitude to your family for decades?
Let us see, how many people work for your wretched family when you and your family is in India.
Let us start from the time you land in Chennai airport for your trips.
1. How much do you pay to the driver who picks you up at the airport early in the morning? The going rate for taxi in Chennai is a minimum Rs. 500/- if you just get inside and sit.
2. How much do you pay to the people who take your heavy boxes from the car to your rooms?
3. How much do you pay to the people who clean your rooms and keep them ready for you and your family to come and stay?
4. How much do you pay to the women or men who cook and feed you and your family during your family's stay in India?
5. How much do you pay to the people who clean your rooms and bathrooms every single day (we hear you and your family are cleanliness freaks!!!)?
6. How much do you pay to the people who wash your dishes after you eat?
7. How much do you pay to the people who take care of washing your clothes and take care of your laundry?
8. How much do you pay the cleaners who clean the fleet of cars that your family has showcased in HQ?
9. How much do you pay to all the drivers who drive your huge family to all the places you all visit during your stay in India?
10. How much did you pay to all the helpers who took care of your dad before he passed away last October?
John Daniel, you and your wretched family has been enjoying royal treatment at the expense of many many poor people for decades. While the poor people who lived in servants quarters in Conoor were struggling to give milk to their babies, you and your family ate rich food prepared by these poor women. While many poor evangelists were living in huts, you and your family lived in houses that had built in tennis courts. While many LEF evangelists could not even afford basic education for their children, you and your four siblings went to one of the most expensive schools in India disguised as missionary children. For records, you were such a dull head that a chemistry lecturer from Andhra was made to come and give you private tutoring and your mom had the audacity to put this highly qualified woman along with the other servants and made her to cook her own food. Did you by any chance find out how much your family paid to that tutor who spent her summer vacation to come and get you to speed in your studies? While you and your family have unrestricted access to the money that many poor people give as their tithes and offerings, you have few hundred evangelists in LEF who live below the poverty line and when some of these people approach you for help, you tell them to exercise faith !!! Did you by any chance find out how Mr. Prasanna Kumar's family from Warangal managed to pay the hospital bills? Mr. Prasanna Kumar's sickness happened after you took charge of LEF affairs. Do you know that Mr. Prasanna Kumar was a full-time worker of LEF for past 4 decades or so and has no other means of income except what LEF gives him? That don in Hyderabad Gnanakalanjiam and his wife had the audacity and cheekiness to convey to your mom that LEF need not pay for the hospital expenses of Mr.Prasanna Kumar as his younger son's employer's insurance will pay for it. John Daniel, did your employer or any of your brothers' employers pay for your dad's health related expenses for over 25 years?  
John Daniel, you of all people have the nerve to talk about the workman being worthy of wages after nonchalantly exploiting the hard work of hundreds of people who have served your family day in and day out while burning themselves. 
People are not as stupid as you think that they don't see you and your family walking naked in the front of them after being stripped of all your outward show of Godliness. We recommend that you slow down and not make a fool of yourself any more than you have to.

THIS IS TO END ALL SPECULATIONS ABOUT THE FOREIGN "PREACHER" WE MENTIONED EARLIER...

Here is as explicit as we can get with this issue. This is the information sent to us from someone close to the family. While we understand that to err is human, there are some human errors that take a very heavy toll on people. Unfortunately, this gross moral failure of a man whom the Daniel family brought in to LEF as a "mighty preacher" is something that cannot be brushed aside so easily. While things like these may be very common in the western world, these are not common in India and they are much less common in Indian Christian circles. The high-handedness of Daniels to decide unanimously whom to bring to parade on LEF stages is proving to be catastrophic. What procedure is in place to decide whom to allow on LEF stages? Which committee decided that John Branch be allowed to be a regular preacher in LEF retreats? Who monitors on a regular basis to periodically assess that the preachers who are allowed on LEF stages are not showing erratic behaviors? Who decides how much these "foreign preachers" are paid? Also, how was it even decided that John Branch was worthier than many many LEF evangelists to come and preach in the retreats? Why were JB's wife and children not seen joining JB during his visits to India? If JJD can bring his whole circus troupe, why couldn't JB bring his family along? How do we know that JB had the support of his spouse and children to be in India two times a years for extended period of time? 
It is just immensely clear that whoever comes in contact with this cursed Daniel family is bound to be destroyed. The "one man show" of Daniel family is disastrous to both individuals and families alike. Dear LEF folks, please open your eyes and see how dire and hopeless the situation is. The rogue mom and her wretched children have nothing good to offer for the well being of your children and families.
HERE IS A VERY ERUDITE ANALYSIS FROM ONE OF OUR COMMENTATORS ON THIS JOHN BRANCH'S EPISODE AS IT RELATES TO LEF AND DANIEL FAMILY:
John Branch was never 'big' in anyone's eyes except those of naive retreat attenders in India. We are not talking about a man with acknowledged and major preaching gifts, but an obscure American man pounced upon by Joshua Daniel because he (John Branch) attributed the recovery of his son from a drowning accident to the dubious 'dead-raising powers' of Joshua Daniel himself. John Branch's preaching style was imitative, uninspired, and uninspiring; he seemed to spend most of his 'pastoral experience' in the USA conducting funerals. If LEF attenders genuinely benefited in any way from his appearances on the platform, it was simply to escape for a while from the even more tedious ramblings of the Daniel family, and the carefully schooled 'testimonies' of those they instruct to give them.
Joshua Daniel saw a potential dupe in John Branch, a man who felt deeply beholden to him, and who would therefore submit to him unquestioningly; a man who was unknown and unrecognised as anything special in his own setting, and would therefore very likely jump at the chance of rehearsing his 'preaching' skills in front of thousands of undiscriminating Indians, many of whom could not even understand what he was saying firsthand.
The temptation to be unquestioningly admired and respected by so many twice a year for the forseeable future was too much for John Branch to resist. Timothy was warned to 'lay hands on no man suddenly'. Why? Probably because a call to ministry has to be proven and recognised by other believers. It needs to be Divine and it needs to be confirmed and agreed by mature Christian church leaders; in this case it appears merely to have satisfied the will of one aging man who wanted people on the platform he regarded as 'his' who would suit his 'western' aspirations, without expecting to exercise the independence of thought that usually accompanies being a westerner.
John Branch was encouraged by the Daniels, and by many 'ordinary' LEF attenders, to 'think of himself more highly than he ought'. He was encouraged by Joshua Daniel, and latterly by Lily Daniel and John Daniel, to abandon his family in the USA in order to enjoy the unaccustomed adulation he received in India. As with secular 'celebrities', unwarranted adulation so often leads to sin, and particularly to sexual sin.
Joshua Daniel and family bear responsibility, together with John Branch himself, for what has happened to this family. No wonder Lily and John Daniel wanted to hush up John Branch's adultery and divorce by lying about a visa, and why they have been trying to blame his poor wife, Marcia.

TIME TO EXAMINE THE "FOREIGN PREACHERS" WHO ARE PARADED ON LEF STAGES...

We are getting emails that are expressing concerns about some dubious pastors who are being paraded on LEF stages. There were several comments on the blog about the prominent "preachers" that this Daniel family imports to LEF pulpits. Arthur Hill and John Branch. 
The most pressing concern is about John Branch who seems to have resigned (or sacked) as a pastor from a church called "THE CROSS" based in Rochester, Indiana. 
There were some allegations made earlier on the blog with John Branch's inappropriate relationship with one of the JD girls and also about John Branch's wife picking a fight about this. 
Is this allegation true? Is this also the reason for John Branch's resigning/being sacked from the THE CROSS? The Daniel family has much to answer about their own moral failings and the moral failings of those whom it parades on LEF stages to feed trash to thousands of people who spend their money and time to attend those circus gatherings that they call "RETREATS."

THIS QUESTION IS FOR LD WHO NOW WANTS TO COMPLETE THE AUTO BIOGRAPHY OF HER LATE HUSBAND...

Our dear budding editor madam,
We hear you are taking up the not only daunting but daring act of finishing the autobiography of your late husband to be titled as "CARRIED BY EVERLASTING ARMS."
We, the LEF whistleblowers see YOU as the curse to LEF. You have caused and are is still causing anguish, trauma and grief to many LEF members and families. We are waiting to see your scholarly aptitude to re-write the history of LEF by adding, deleting and editing the contents of your husband's autobiography in which he wrote about various individuals who were part of his team. We wonder how you are going to re-write the whole book to project just YOU and YOUR late husband as the only two team members of the glorious LEF team (this is ofcourse according to your own good for nothing daughter who lacks the basic dressing mannerisms to get on LEF stages). We would like to see how you will edit the 9 th chapter of the book titled " Labours in Germany and Ireland." By the way, this also happens to be the chapter in which your late husband spoke very highly of his sister, Kamala Paul. Now that you have exiled Kamala Paul and Whitson Paul and driven Kamala to madness, we are just curious to see how you will delete this entire chapter from the book. Here is the excerpt from the book that refers to Mrs. Kamala Paul's contribution to German ministry. Looks like your some what intuitive husband knew that you are a vile, vicious, vindictive and manipulative monster. No wonder, he ensured that the manuscript of his original document is out there for people to access. Without further due, here we release the excerpt...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9
Labours in Germany and Ireland

There were many who had been blessed in the earlier meetings in Germany at various centres of the Aidlingen sisters. Wherever we went, we were received with warmth and expectation for a word from the Lord. Even at the first meeting that I addressed, I met one who told me that she had been delivered by the Lord years earlier, when I had prayed for her. She had been a terrible thief, stealing from shops, houses and from every place where she had worked in. I recalled that since she had had no money to begin making her restitutions, I had taken the unusual step of giving her a small sum of money and had asked her to begin to make whatever restitution she needed to make. Yet another person told me how she had been awakened at my earlier meetings and following that when Bro. Whitson preached in that place, she had come through to the Lord.
While preaching in the Stuttgart area, I always resided at the centre of the Aidlingen sisters. I was told one morning that there were visitors to see me. It was two young ladies, one of whom I had met a few years earlier, when I addressed a youth group consisting of university students. At that time Gertrude had been one of the co-ordinators of that small camp, as a staff member of the Inter-varsity Fellowship. Her husband, Hans Dieter Papst, was one of my earliest acquaintances, from the time when I first preached at the Retreat centre of the deaconesses in the Black Forest, during my first visit to Germany. As a young engineering student, he seemed to seize every opportunity to hear God’s Word. The other visitor was Hans Dieter’s youngest sister, Ulrike Papst. Both these young ladies had got quite close to my sister, Kamala, during her stint in Germany, where as a physicist, she underwent some advanced training at Max Planck Institute. They had both been challenged and blessed by her life. They then experienced a definite work of God’s Spirit and had set their hearts on doing God’s will in their lives.
After a time of fellowship, we could see that their coming  had  more significance than a mere social visit. As an upshot of our meeting, it was agreed that I should preach at a few meetings arranged by them, amongst people known to them.
Hans Dieter and his wife, Gertrude, who were then resident at Schriesheim, gathered some friends whom I addressed. Ulrike, who was an elementary school teacher in a small village by the name of Rott, also arranged a meeting in this village with its great preponderance of Catholic inhabitants. Quite a number of people attended this meeting.
Much progress in post-war reconstruction and development had been taking place in Germany and the ‘economic miracle’ which had taken place under Chancellor Adenaur and his brilliant finance minister, Ludwig Erhard, had brought a new burst of wealth and economic well-being to the land. Now this wrought many changes in society too. As goods and possessions increased, the hunger for God’s Word had begun to wane. Godly people told me that soon after the War, when the German people had hardly anything to even subsist on and were passing through times of great want and deprivation, there was considerable hunger for the Word of God amongst them. But now the growing materialism and prosperity in the land was already hardening the hearts of many and blunting their desire for God.
Notwithstanding all that was written in the press to the contrary, my earlier observation that there was a tender spot in the hearts of many Germans for the Lord Jesus was still true. When He was presented to them in the power of God’s Spirit, many would respond with great warmth and yearning for inward peace. Even those who assumed lofty airs to begin with and appeared to put up an impenetrable front, proved to be those whose pomposity quickly melted away, before the fire of God’s Word. As I prayed with them, many of them would break down and dissolve in tears.
Some well-known Christian leaders in Germany were wont to declare emphatically that God would not bless Germany, seeing that as a nation they had been responsible for the horrible atrocities that were perpetrated upon the Jews. Further, when the ‘deportation’ and the mass murder of millions of these unfortunate Jews were taking place, few German voices were raised against Hitler and his policies. When this sentiment was expressed to me, I said, “Yes, their sin of relentlessly exterminating millions of Jews was no ordinary crime. Moreover the sin of the ‘silent majority’ who meekly permitted this gross genocide was great; yet God in His mercy can move again in revival. God could bring multitudes of men and women to repentance, even here in Deutschland.”
Now I began to see that my anguish, prayer and repeated labours of a few days or a couple of weeks, once a year or after even longer intervals, was by no means leading people to any depth of commitment to Jesus, nor turning them into true disciples. It was no doubt true that as they sat under my preaching, tears coursed down their cheeks and they confessed their sins and many changes did take place in their lives, but alas, the rising tides of worldliness and sin around them were quickly weakening the people and their pursuit of godliness. God began to burden me at this point that it was high time to begin regular retreats which would extend from four to seven days, when those touched in the earlier meetings could be led deeper and fed with the Word of God.
While I was labouring here, a pressing invitation came to me to go over to preach in Ireland at the Killadeas Camp meetings. When the Lord showed me that it was His will that I should go over to Ireland, I found that I simply had no money to buy my tickets to London and then to Belfast. After the family had gone to bed, I continued in prayer. The Lord assured me that it was just His usual manner of working to send help practically in the last minute. The same proved to be the case in the morning, when I was given the mail which was waiting for me. In one of those envelopes I found the money that would cover my fares to London. Thus with a heart overflowing with praise, I set out.
At the London airport I found that being the height of the tourist season, there was no vacancy in a flight to Belfast. There was a long waiting list of thirty-two people standing-by to catch a plane to Belfast. I enquired whether any special flights would be put on to clear the waiting list. I was told that there seemed to be no such possibility.
The next morning I decided to be very early in the line. But at the airport I found that people had started to line up even by 3.30 in the morning. As I waited around, waiting to see what God would do, suddenly the announcement was made that a special flight would soon leave and I was put on that flight.
With what joy the people at Killadeas received me. Back in 1960, during the special prayer conference which I had addressed, God had poured out of His Spirit and oh, how the people were moved by God in prayer. I found the same spirit resting upon several of these dear people, as rested upon men and women in the revival in India. Now immediately after that prayer conference, the big convention had followed at which we had witnessed signal visitations from the Lord. Nearly the whole audience responded to the call to full submission and dedication to the Lord, after I had preached the final sermon of the convention.
At this present convention at Killadeas, Rev. Duncan Campbell and Leonard Ravenhill, besides a well-known Bible teacher from Swansea, Rev. Aeian Jones, were the speakers. When I joined them, the convention was moving towards its climax. The Lord in His mercy would give me the word just needed for the people every time I preached. It was decided by the organizers of the convention that several of the final meetings were to be addressed by me.

Before the convention closed, the organizers brought to me the request that I should be the main speaker at the next convention. I for one enjoyed listening to these men of God, whom I greatly loved and respected. In fact, I sought to learn all I could, from their extensive knowledge and wide experience. Despite their fame and notable gifts, I found these speakers to be deeply humble men. In fact it was a humbling sight to me to see the well-known Rev. Duncan Campbell sitting right up in one of the front pews drinking in all that I was preaching.
