Dear Fareena, The reason I am sending out the information is because my wife converted to Christianity and I will send you an email letter describing the tragic consequences that resulted. I was only concerned about spreading the word about the people involved in North America. Some Muslims asked me if I would do some research and I discovered a lot of information about the evangelist plans to convert people. I hope that if people are aware of this I can save one family from being broken up or one child going through what our child did. In North America I am doing this because the common person does not realize the extent of these operations, including me when I first started. I hope that in North America,
awareness of this behavior will hurt their power and economic structure.
Adverse publicity is what they shy away from. I will send you another letter after I finish this which further describes these people. I hope you will understand why after you read that letter. Yours respectfully

1999 Dear Fareena, The research that I did is truthful to the extent that I used the information that is printed in the evangelists own web site. The reason that I put in so many web sites in my letter is to give people the option of looking at these web sites and see the information for themselves. I think that this will also help people doing research on this subject. I have to be very careful in what I say because if I say anything that I do not have written evidence on, I could be sued for slander. I do not put any of the letters on the internet because if I do this, I could be sued for invasion of privacy. If you would like me to send you copies of the letters that I discovered and a copy of Willard's newsletter. I will send them by regular mail if you send me a mail address The letters are written in pencil and are hard to read because the writing is very hard to read or copy. I have the original copies of this information at my lawyer's office in the event that Willard tries to sue me. These people do not like the adverse publicity so I expected a law suit if I lied about anything or if I mention events but do not have written proof. On a personal basis it is degrading to me to let people know that my wife left me and abandoned our child to live with a member of her church ministry. I had a hard time dealing with that but I realize that something like this would be even more devastating in a country where the social system places immense value on the extended family I will not say anything about my personal feelings toward these people because that is a total waste of my time as well as yours. My position is that I think that it is wrong for these people to look down on other religions and go into their countries and try to convert them into Christians. I also believe that research should be done on the economic side of conversion. This is a multi-million dollar business. That is a vast area and would require extensive research. Yours respectfully

1999 Dear Fareena, I decided that I should tell you a little about my background so you can understand me better. I studied karate in Japan in the early 1960's. At that time karate was not very well known and we wanted to make it into an international sport. In order to do this we had to take a position that al people are equal. I have taught karate part time for 35 years. In my teaching I keep religion, race, sex, ethnicticity and economic status out of my classes. I taught at the University of Winnipeg for about 10 years and I had many students from other countries including Muslim and Hindu students. The Muslim students were very tough and I respected them for their training even though I yelled at them to make them train harder. From an instructors viewpoint if you like to train hard you like to train with people who are tough. At one time the Muslims had a discussion about Christianity and Islam in order to improve relations at the university. Myself and many of the members of the karate class went to the public forum to support the Muslims. It soon became clear that they knew more about Christianity than we knew about Islam. The Muslim speaker came to the aid of the Christian speaker and I was impressed at their knowledge as well as the speaker helping the Christian professor. One incident happened that was very embarrassing. A woman who had converted to Christianity started screaming at the Muslims and it was very embarrassing. On a personal experience when I hear evangelists degrading Muslims and Hindus I do resent it very much. Why should I developed intolerance and hate toward people because of their religion especially when they have done nothing to hurt me. I also resent it in the workplace and I am quick to state my position about prejudice against people because of race or religion. Yours respectfully

| Dear Fareena,
I have done some more thinking on this. You stated that your web site is very large. If you have some friends in Winnipeg, Canada I could meet them and show them the papers . If you want to do this my telephone number is: 204-661-9559. This is the letter I was sending out to Christian ministers, reverends, etc. before I became aware of the immense global scheme of the operation of the evangelists. I must be fair, There are many members of the church that do not like these methods or even the idea of mass conversion. In fact, many of the web sites and information came from these people. Judging from the research I have done there is a backlash by some Christians who put out information about the evangelistic movement. I am under the impression that they are not as well funded as the evangelists but there is a movement against this kind of behavior. This letter is about how people can be abused by people with authority in the name of Christianity. I am a moderate Christian who does not support hate, intolerance or bigotry toward any person or group because of their religious beliefs whether muslin, Hindu Christian or any denomination of Christianity. I am making a statement about how my family was torn apart by a TV ministry, which could happen to you. If you read this letter carefully I would appreciate any type of feedback whether positive or negative. I will respect your point of view on this subject and give careful consideration to the replies whether pro or con that are sent to me. It has come to my attention that Mr. Willard Thiessen of "Trinity Television" It's a New Day is expanding his efforts to expand evangelism. I am sending you some information on him, propaganda he is passing out as well as an example of the results of his efforts. What I am sending does not mean that I think all Christian groups, churches, etc. are the same or would condone such practices, on the contrary I get many letters from ministers, priests, reverends, church workers, authors, missionaries and many other Christians who detest and abhor this type of behavior. These people are from North America as well as many other countries such as Australia, Zambia, and the UK. In addition I have also received letters from evangelists who describe their work and totally detest what Willard does.
The following article was
written by Lindor Reynolds on the 12 May,
OOPS...gold teeth no miracle; its 12-year-old dental
Willard Thiessen had a confession to make yesterday. God didn't give him a gold tooth. His brother Elmer, a B.C. dentist, did." I'm embarrassed to tears about this," Thiessan, the president of Winnipeg based Trinity Television said yesterday. " I thought I had a miracle" Last week, Thiessen told viewers of his daytime program that a gold crown and a large gold filling had suddenly appeared in his mouth. He credited God with the dental work. Thiessen's proclaimed miracle follows other claims by evangelical Christians that gold teeth had miraculously shown up in their smiles. There is no biblical significance to this round of alleged godsends. "There are people in various areas where it seems to be there God has been transforming their fillings and crowns into gold. "It's usually dental work that's already there'" he said. Mary Glazier, an Alaska evangelist, was on Thiessen's program last week discussing the phenomenon and other miracles. Over dinner at Thiessen's home that night the conversation continued "In the midst of an expectation, you can see these things," he said sheepishly. "I don't think I'll ever live this down. After sharing his good news with his television flock Thiessen talked to his brother the dentist. "He said, 'If you want to give God credit for my work that's fine with me but I put that gold in 12 years ago. Thiessen said he had simply "forgotten" he'd had the work done. " I had an expectant heart I was open to the experience" yesterday morning, Thiessen recanted to his audience. " I told people to please check their dental records before they declare a miracle. Please check with your dentist." Thiessen remains convinced of the power of prayer. He said he has previous experience with God and dental work. "In the 1970s, my wife Betty had two large cavities in her back molars. " We were poor as church mice and couldn't afford to see a dentist. We were traveling and at a meeting and, when it was done, they were filled." Thiessen said he remains open to miracles. He's just going to check a little more carefully before spreading the word next time. If Willard claims that God is his
personal dentist would Dr. Sigmund Freud, considered by many to be the
father of western psychiatry describe Here is an example of of conditioning he puts people through in guidelines for them to follow. 1. Ask the lord to purify your heart. Ask him to forgive you, and let you see your heart as He sees it. 2. Confess anything he reveals to you. 3. Acknowledge your need for the holy spirit to direct your prayer time, and lead you according to His heart. 4. Lay down your own agendas, ideas and control. Empty yourself of any concerns and let the peace of the lord be your guide. 5. Come against distractions that hinder your thoughts. 6. Deal aggressively with the enemy and any specific attacks that are against you.. 7. Take time to praise and thank the lord for the time you'll have together. 8. Ask for the fear of the Lord to act in obedience to anything He may ask you to do or say. 9. Wait in silent expectancy of what he wants to tell you. 10. After He reveals direction and strategy, pray according to this with the power and authority He has given you in the name of Jesus. However is it possible Mr. Thiessen tells you what the lord wants you to do? Here is a chronological list of events as they occurred to my wife. 1990 I
married Usha Chamanlal.
As you can see if a lying power hungry egotistical person who claims to be a Christian and who misuses his power for economic or personal gain the results could be dramatic if people become brainwashed and conditioned. If you are infuriated that adultery is claimed to be justified by the lord, god, bible or Christianity by someone who claims to be a good Christian, you can email me at dkost@mb.sympatico.ca. If you think that someone uses god and Jesus to break up families is despicable Willard's web site is www.newday.org His email address is staff@newday.org. Yours respectfully
