Subject : Thank you for your comments

Thank you for your e-mail. Your comments and inquiries are very important to us and will be forwarded to the proper department. Unfortunately,
the volume of e-mail TBN receives does not allow
us to respond to each message personally.

Most questions can be answered by accessing the TBN web site at http://www.tbn.org . Especially note the 'About Us' and 'Links' areas of the web site. If you wish to make a new or renewal pledge, please use the pledge form on the TBN web site.

Lesson: People who work for Christian TV ministries such as TBN seldom have the knowledge or authority needed to respond to communications. Even though Elijah sent ten questions, we might have to wait a long time to receive the answers. Meanwhile, if we wish to pledge financial support, we're sure they will be more than willing to send a form-letter of gratitude.

Subject : Coral Ridge Ministries Auto-Reply

Thank you for contacting Coral Ridge Ministries through the Internet. It is a blessing to hear from you. We in the Correspondence Department are responsible for assisting Dr. Kennedy and the staff of Coral Ridge Ministries in replying to your questions and requests and will do so at the earliest possible moment. Every credible communication will receive a reply. However, as with any organization, we have a finite set of resources with which to respond to the thousands of e-mails and letters we receive.

Therefore, please be patient as it may be several days before a response is sent. In the meantime, in our effort to improve the effectiveness of our correspondence, we will often provide you with available online resources relating to the most current issues being addressed by the ministry.

Lesson: Dr. Kennedy at Coral Ridge Ministries has made certain that his staff is respectful, offering explanations of procedures and intentions.

Auto-replies let us know that our email has been received, but response to the content will determine how seriously they regard our spiritual concerns or need for assistance.

Subject : Re: Killing America's Soul -- RE: Chief Justice Roy Moore

Chief Justice Roy Moore might or might not be a
man of God. I think he is a man of Roy seeking fame
and fortune for Roy. What happens if everyone in
our country is free to ignore court orders? We'd have anarchy. I believe in God. I am a Christian. I also believe in my country and the freedom it allows. Christianity is not the law of this country, nor should
it be. Roy Moore is a grandstander, a charlatan of
the worst kind. Please don't send your garbage to
me anymore.

Lesson: The message "Killing America's Soul" did
not resonate very well with Phillip Marshall. His request will be honored, and no more messages
that he equates to "garbage" will be sent to this self-professing Christian -- who believes Chief
Justice Roy Moore's defense of the Ten Commandments is "grandstanding."

Dear One,

Thank you for e-mailing us. We are very sorry,
but since we are answering hundreds of messages each day, we do not have the capacity to give your question the response it deserves. We can tell
you though, that there is only one God.

Please talk over your questions with your pastor or priest in person. This will give you opportunity for feedback and allow adequate time for discussion, Bible study and prayer.

Lesson: Is it possible that TBN is so busy trying to reach millions of people in most nations that they have no time left to care about one person? Getting "feedback" from local religious leaders is equally difficult. It's good that God is always available
when we need Him!

This letter is from a Christian
Re: Questions I need answered

To Whom It May Concern:

Your response to the following ten questions would
be very helpful: (1) Is there more than one God?
(2) Is Jesus God? (3) Is it possible that Jehovah God would send a prophet in the Spirit of Elijah during this generation? (4) What are the scriptural references to support your opinon on whether or not it is possible for Elijah to be alive on our planet at the present time? (5) Is the man who comes in the name of "Tennessee Elijah (www.TennesseeElijah.com)" a true prophet or a false prophet? (6) Have you heard the Elijah PROCLAMATION CD? (7) Would you be willing to listen to the CD, and then offer your opinion for publication? (8) Would you be willing to share the CD with other Christians? (9) Is there any reason why Christians should not encourage community unity? (10) Is there any reason why Christians should not be supporting Elijah in his mission activities?

Thanks, and God bless you for your response to these questions! Please be advised that I will be forwarding copies to every person on my email list!

Lesson: Dan Vazquez, associated with the famous TBN Rod Parsley Breakthrough Ministries, asked that I remove their address from our mailing list.

Apparently, since they hear directly from God, messages or questions from Elijah are not welcome. Keep this in mind in case you were thinking that all Christians love all other Christians when they're not busy loving enemies.

Dear James,

Thank you for writing and requesting information regarding the "Elijah Proclamation." We are unable
to accommodate your request, and we pray you will understand our position.

We receive a number of similar requests for information and answers to various questions from
our radio and television audience. To be completely honest with you, our office time is limited due to the nature of our ministry and does not allow us the privilege of spending the research and response
time required to answer each specific inquiry.

We know that you are sincere, and that you are trying to do your best to follow through with what God wants you to do. Be encouraged by this Scripture found in 1 Thessalonians 1:2 (TLB), "We always thank God for you and pray for you constantly. We never forget your loving deeds as we talk to our God and Father about you, and your strong faith and steady looking forward to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ."

We assure you of our love and prayers. We are also believing for the best for you. May the Lord be with you in all that you do.

We care about you,

Dave & Joyce Meyer

Lesson: Souls trapped in fleshly bodies are restricted in many ways! It takes energy, time, and resources
to read, think, and communicate. Therefore, I fully agree that honest servants of the Lord cannot respond to thousands of people who might send emails. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit is not restricted, and God can do what we mortals are unable to do. To know that Dave and Joyce Meyer "care" about me, and have assured me of their "love" -- and even included me in their "prayers," is very nice. I feel satisfied knowing that I have new friends. We are "One" within the One whose participation in our lives is of greater consequence than anything we can do alone.

Thank you for writing Creflo Dollar Ministries!
On behalf of Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Taffi L. Dollar and
the staff of World Changers Ministries, we want you to know that we are standing in agreement with you for God's perfect will to be done in your life and in the lives of your loved ones. Psalm 138:8 declares that God will perfect, or bring to completion, those things that concern you. In addition, He will not forsake the work of His hands. Ephesians 2:10 states that you are His workmanship. Your faith, coupled with our prayers, is sure to move the hand of God on your behalf (Psalm 57:1-2). Meditate on Psalm 57,
and begin praising God now for the answers to your prayers!" If you would like to pray with a Creflo Dollar Ministries representative, call 1-866-477-7683 today.

Lesson: Form letter responses to emails are a common practice for ministries who lack facilities or personnel. Seldom do words convey a meaningful relevance to the thoughts, questions, or requests of the original sender. In this case, nothing was said about my ten questions. Most people of common intelligence will soon understand that it is a waste
of time to attempt communication -- unless you happen to have a phone.

Thank you for your email.

This is a general reply to let you know that we have indeed received your email, and are extremely pleased that you have taken the time to share your thoughts and concerns with us. As you can imagine, we receive a large number of emails each day, which takes time to read and reply to. This message simply serves to let you know that upon receipt of your message, it is read and forwarded to the appropriate department. Please note, if you are sending an email to inquire about the status of an order, please call Customer Service at 1-800-BISHOP-2 for the fastest service.

We would like to extend our appreciation to you for contacting The Potter's House.

God Bless,

The Potter's House Staff

We have added below some of the common questions that we get through emails:

Q- How can I order product?
A- You can browse or shop our online store at
http://www.tdjakes.org or call us at 1-800-BISHOP2

NOTE: Much more product info was provided, but it was not put here.

Lesson: There seems to be a pattern of "polite response" with limited "spiritual content" provided
for those of us who try to get in touch with Christian ministries. Maybe their answers to my ten questions will come later? If I receive any further response from the T.D. Jakes Ministry, or from any of the others that I have contacted, I will reproduce them right here on Fan Mail.

Response (Rebecca Monegro) 07/02/2004 09:07 AM
Thank you for writing to Focus on the Family. Dr. Dobson is frequently asked to respond in detail to matters of biblical or theological inquiry. However, he has had no formal training as a pastor or theologian, and he freely acknowledges his limitations in these areas. For this reason, Dr. Dobson has made a deliberate decision to direct the attention of our ministry away from in-depth biblical interpretation and theology, choosing instead to concentrate our efforts on introducing individuals
to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This, after all, is really the purpose behind Focus on the Family.

As an alternative, we encourage you to contact
a Christian ministry that routinely discusses theological topics. Two recommendations we
would like to offer are Chuck Swindoll�s ministry, Insight for Living, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Dr. Dobson has great respect for the theological views and biblical integrity of these two men, and we are sure that their ministries are well qualified to discuss any questions and comments you may have. The addresses are as follows:

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
P.O. Box 1270
Charlotte, NC 28201
help@bgea.org
http://www.billygraham.org

Insight for Living
P.O. Box 269000
Plano, TX 75026
http://www.insight.org

In case it would be of interest to you, we have attached our brief statement of faith to this e-mail.
It may answer some of your general questions regarding our belief in God and Jesus. We are
sorry that we cannot be more helpful to you, but
we thank you for understanding our limitations.
God bless you!

Lesson: Sometimes Christians are too busy to answer questions that other Christians or lost souls ask.

Subject : Re: Questions?

Thank you for your June 21 question to Zola Levitt. My name is Todd Baker. I am a staff theologian for Zola. I am answering some of his e-mail for him.

No thanks, this ministry has better things to do than
to attempt to refute a deluded soul who thinks he is Elijah the prophet when in fact prophetic Scripture indicates Elijah will return during the Great Tribulation period as one of the two Witnesses of Revelation 11. He must appear therefore after the Rapture of the Church and you are not him for the simple fact, and for many other reasons, the Rapture has not occurred!

In His service,
Todd Baker.

Lesson: Todd Baker who is on the staff of Zola Levitt, a man that I have admired for many years, has decided to accuse me of being a "deluded soul" -- and refuses to answer my ten questions. If he had taken time to read my messages in regard to the ""Witnesses," he would have discovered that my interpretation is different than his. As has been said, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him swim on his back upstream." (The slight modification is a result of my creativity).

Lesson: Long ago, God explained to me that the "news" business is not attempting to spread the "Gospel" in the way that Jesus would want people to do. In fact, most of those who occupy themselves in "media" pursuits are doing the work of Satan -- which is in direct contrast to what God prefers. As I continue to email messages to news organizations, most of them simply block me or request that I not "spam" them with Holy Words. They all have their systems and procedures which make it possible for them to "manipulate" the minds of the masses in ways that make "evil" more acceptable in this world. When people of Truth come to share "good news," or oppose "bad news," communications that have the potential of correcting the error of their ways are regarded as an irritant. Bruce Hakala is employed by a newspaper in Aberdeen, South Dakota. He states that messages I am sending is "negatively affecting ability to get jobs done." That is good news! It is my job to impede the work of all so-called "honorable media employees" who help to promote fear, sorrow, distortions of reality, excessive carnality, corrupted spiritual values that focus upon death and destruction, or show contempt for people like me who are enjoy "FREEDOM OF SPEECH THE AMERICAN WAY!"

Dear Tennessee,

which is associated to your MSN account, has been reported in connection with the transmission of unsolicited email via The Microsoft Network. The transmission of unsolicited email is prohibited and is in violation of the MSN Subscription Agreement. We ask your cooperation in reviewing the "MSN Subscription Agreement," which is available online http://support.msn.com/solutionarticle.aspx?cp=true&pk=msncom&pp=both\msncom&aid=4780

Please ensure this activity does not reoccur from your MSN account. Any future violations of these documents may result in the termination of your MSN subscriber account, and any �Associated Accounts�, without notice.

Your help in making The Microsoft Network an enjoyable place for all members is greatly appreciated.

Lesson: The communication systems, the Internet rules, and the "freedom of speech" laws are all being used, and misused, by rebellious souls for reasons that are making personal witnessing by Christians very difficult! Question: What are the proper procedures for obtaining "permission" to send someone an email to avoid the transmission
of unsolicited email? I have been sending spiritual messages to email addresses of media and religious organizations that were found on web sites. I have a 650 address limit on my "Group Contacts" list -- and have been abiding by the Microsoft Agreement to the best of my knowledge.
If Microsoft could be more specific concerning the nature of the complaint(s), I would be able to correct the problem -- if it is more than just the result of a troublemaker(s) who hates anything
that might be regarded as "Truth!" Otherwise, I will continue to send emails -- just as I might be inclined to send letters through the Post Office. Uncle Sam does not prohibit the sending of unsolicited mail -- (advertising, etc) -- so why is it possible for a corporation such as Microsoft to dictate my communication practices? Rather than submit to this kind of unfair intimidation, I would rather not continue with the services that I've paid up-to-date to enjoy. If anyone reading this is experiencing similar harassment, please let the FCC authorities know. Until this current obstacle to my mission is resolved, I have no alternative other than to express myself in other ways if it becomes necessary. Is the sending of unsolicited water, unsolicited wind, and unsolicited fire in the form
of a curse from God permitted -- or do I need to ask Microsoft for permission? This is a copy of my last email unless the threat to terminate my account
is postponed -- or not performed as threatened.
