83 Leadership Pt. 4 Prosecutor Simmons Bible Study Time
DURATION [01:17:47]
Intro: It’s Prosecution Jason Simmons Bible Study Time, Part 4. Lesson to learn: selfish ambition is a crime.” James 3, 14-16, “But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from heaven, but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.” The Consider Podcast. Examining today’s wisdom, folly, and madness. www.consider.info.
Timothy: Let us continue to answer Prosecutor Jason Simmons and Judge Lori K. Smith’s accusation of a question of what was the leadership like at Sound Doctrine Church. We’re going to consider the vast difference between leadership in the office of King County Prosecutor’s Office and the office, and I’m putting office in quote, of Sound Doctrine Church. How’s it going, Jacob?
Jacob: Going good.
Timothy: There’s no comparison between what goes on in King County Prosecutor’s Offices in terms of leadership and what went on at Sound Doctrine Church. Couldn’t even relate to it. I might logically be able to lay it out for Prosecutor Simmons, but you know what? The best he will be able to do, I mean the very best he’ll be able to do is to logically agree that the logic is there. But understanding it, you have to experience, and only that comes from the living God. Jacob, anything going on, anything you want to express, talk about, or lay out before we get started?
Jacob: Nope. Not right now.
Timothy: All right. Excellent. Let’s go ahead and we’re going to go to Luke chapter 9, verse 44, and begin to talk about the fact that if you’re going to talk about leadership at Sound Doctrine Church, you’re going to have to reject everything and all concepts you ever had about leadership. And that would include in the church. Jacob, you’ve been to other churches, you visited, you’ve looked at it. There’s really no comparison to what you’ve discovered out there and to what was in Sound Doctrine Church. Am I correct or am I off base?
Jacob: Oh yeah. No, 100% correct.
Timothy: Then when we get into, in fact, most of the time, most churches are pretty much organized just like King County office and everybody’s trying to jockey for their position and get what they want out of the church and voice their opinion. I know you have more so sat in meetings in a church and there’s always a naysayer, there’s always this question over here, and everybody wants a piece of something for themselves that they have in mind. Right?
Jacob: Sure. A lot of times people have their own agenda, right?
Timothy: Agenda or opinion. Everybody certainly has their own opinion.
Jacob: Oh yeah. You definitely, maybe you don’t even disagree with what leadership’s doing, but you just want to give your opinion. Like, I just want to put it out there. That’s a very common thing, I feel like.
Timothy: Yeah. Put it out there, go from there. And that’s just human, sinful nature, and it took a long time for the apostles, or really the disciples that were following Jesus at the time, but the apostles to learn that lesson. I mean, we can get all the way up to the Last Supper. They’ve been with Jesus for three and a half years. They’ve raised the dead, they’ve healed the sick, they’ve faced persecution, they’ve listened to Jesus teach, they’ve watched him confront Pharisee and Sadducee and rich people and poor people. They’ve watched and listened to everything that Jesus said. In fact, they even taught what Jesus taught. Correct? I mean, they went around. Jesus sent them into towns ahead of time.
Jacob: Yeah, he’d send them out. Yeah.
Timothy: He said, Jesus coming. So, we’re talking about, they were teachers, they were leaders, they were out preaching, and they were doing this on firsthand basis of knowing Jesus Christ. But they were completely stupid, dull, dumb, when it came to the understanding of what leadership is about. There’s a lot of churches, they’re not even going to be able to relate what we’re going to look at here, because they don’t allow God to break them of self and of pride. Let’s go ahead and listen to the audio part of Luke 9:44, and the setting again is at the Last Supper. So, it’s three and a half years, they’re sitting together, Jesus is saying he’s going to be betrayed and die on the cross, and all they can really talk about is who’s the greatest in terms of leadership. Go ahead and play that, and we’ll come back and examine it.
Video file: Luke 9:44-48. “While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.” But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all– he is the greatest.”
Timothy: Actually, I need to correct myself there. This is not actually at the Lord’s Supper, but the same argument happens at the Lord’s Supper. So, what you’re going to see here is a continual theme where these disciples continue to want to jockey for the best position, want to know what their position is. At Sound Doctrine Church, there was none of that because obviously we learned from their lesson and God brought about the power of the cross into our lives. So, you didn’t, Jacob, you let everybody know. Was anybody jockeying to be in a position of leadership?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: In fact, in the last episodes, we’ve talked about the seriousness of leadership.
Jacob: Yep, exactly.
Timothy: And when that’s laid out clearly, I don’t-
Jacob: Very correct. Yeah. Who’s raising their hand and jumping up and down. I want to be judged more harshly.
Timothy: Totally. You can find that in some places, but not at Sound Doctrine Church because it was just laid out way, way too clearly. A couple of things as we pass through this, in Luke 9:44, the first part of that, it says, “While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to the disciples.” There’s always this sober aspect of Jesus. Here’s Jesus healing people, preaching, casting out demons, all kinds of powerful things, right? And so, they’re marveling at it. They’re excited about that. And this is kind of a sub-question for Simmons where he goes, what attracted you to Sound Doctrine Church? Well, there wasn’t anything, or if there were things that the flesh was attracted to, or you say, hey, I’d like to be a part of a Jesus that feeds 5,000 people, I don’t ever have to go grocery shopping again, Jesus immediately talks about the seriousness of the cross. So, the two go hand in hand. And when Sound Doctrine Church was put on trial, what happened is there was all these good things that were at Sound Doctrine Church, but that wasn’t mentioned by all the individuals that either turned their back on Jesus Christ and no longer wanted to carry their cross, or those that were just, they’re just hostile to Jesus in general, which is most of the world actually. And what they would do is just emphasize all the negative things that Jesus said, and that’s what Simmons played to, and that he took their hatred, it denied the truth, and we’ll see more again, and James says that they deny the truth, and that’s because of selfish ambition.
Let me read it again. “While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples.” Now he’s teaching disciples know this. People like Simmons and other people, Jesus isn’t talking to them, he’s not telling them, they can’t even get close. Now, the disciples are not going to get this, but at least Jesus at this point is teaching them because he knows later on, once self and pride and selfish ambition have been crucified and put to death and dealt a powerful blow and humility is there, this is all going to come back to life. This is, oh, this is what he meant, this is what it’s about, and they’re going to rejoice in it. Since King County prosecutors, they certainly refuse to be broken, don’t they, Jacob?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: They continue with the same darkness, the same lies. They quote unquote investigate themselves, and of course find themselves innocent, and then they cover up how they investigate themselves. I mean, they protected a cop who literally structured accusations from a witness that had already, a false witness that had already been manipulated, and the police in Enumclaw further built that on, and then King County prosecutors went from there on that. So, humility is the last thing that’s in the King County courthouse.
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: All right. So, Jesus goes on, he says, “Listen carefully to what I’m about to tell you.” They’re all excited. They’re all marveling. Are they not, Jacob?
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: I would be too, if you were following Jesus and he’s raising the dead and healing the sick, and I kind of keep repeating this, but think of all the good things that he did.
Jacob: Oh, yeah. Miracles.
Timothy: You’d want to rejoice in those. Go ahead.
Jacob: Well, just the miracles. You’d be fascinated. You’d be marveling. You’d be like, this is, you’ve never seen this before ever. Oh, and certainly the contrast of the Pharisees and Sadducees, which were always what, pretty much, not belittling the people, but you know, it was horrible, right? The Pharisees at the time, it was miserable.
Timothy: Well, they considered themselves above the people.
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: They understood the scriptures. At one point they’ll go, there’s a curse on the mob. In other words, they’re brainwashed. It was that kind of demeaning attitude.
Jacob: But when Jesus comes along and actually even cares about them at all, it’s amazing.
Timothy: Absolutely. And that’s normal. So, Jesus goes away from that. He immediately comes and he says, “Listen carefully to what I’m about to tell you: The son of man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.” Now verse 45, what does it say, Jacob, that first sentence there?
Jacob: But they did not understand what this meant.”
Timothy: Prosecutor Simmons, how can I explain this? Many times, with much of my sermons, they don’t get it. This is not an arrogant statement. This is the nature of scripture. It’s above where they are at, whether mentally or spiritually or in their heart. But they did not understand what he meant. But as they move forward and as they continue to follow Jesus Christ and as they don’t turn their back on him, they begin to understand and God is able to open their minds and their hearts to understand what the secret wisdom is of God. In fact, it says in verse 45, go ahead and read the rest of that, Jacob.
Jacob: “But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.”
Timothy: You see God at this point, it actually says it was hidden from them. Now, Jacob, why do you think God is hiding it from them?
Jacob: Somehow it was, well, if it’s hiding it from them, earlier Jesus says that he’s talking to his disciples and so the Lord is working it on purpose, like they need to fail. They need to, oh, well, their sin needs to be exposed, their true self, and then later they’re going to remember his words.
Timothy: I really like the way you put that. They need to fail. They need to fail. They need to be frustrated. They need to get beyond their understanding. You know, how can I compare this? Think of a child that you’re teaching, right, and it’s a concept you know is above them, but you’re going to tell them about it anyway because that’s part of the learning process. So, you tell them and sometimes you’re like, okay, I got it, I got it, and then you know they’re going to go out and fail because they don’t get it. They think they’ve got it, but they don’t. Jesus and God cannot reveal it to them because they would just run with it in their sinful nature. It was hidden from them so they did not grasp it.
There’s a lot of times, and there’s other reasons for this, for one thing God will come to us, like right now there’s an issue I’m praying about, I’m going, “Lord, I don’t know what that means.” I’ve never experienced that before. What is that? And I still don’t have it. He hasn’t told me what it is, and it’s really almost more of an experience kind of thing. But he’s at least, I think, poking my spirit and my heart to go, okay, what is this? I don’t know what it is. He’s working humility, dependence upon him, and going past the, well, whether I understand this or not, I’m still going to love you, and I know it will get revealed somewhere down the line. It was hidden from them so they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask me about it. So, it kind of goes hand in hand. They’re learning a little bit with Jesus like, we have asked some things in the past, or like Peter, for example, what was he called, Jacob, by Jesus? He said, get behind me.
Jacob: Oh, Satan. He was called Satan.
Timothy: So, would you not be a little more closed mouth about asking Jesus a question?
Jacob: You’d be a little slower, a little slower to open your mouth.
Timothy: Yeah, that would sting a little bit, wouldn’t it?
Jacob: Oh, yeah.
Timothy: Yeah, get behind me, Satan.
Jacob: Especially when Peter had said that in front of everyone, right? And then in this, right here in this verse, they’re all trying to figure out who’s the greatest.
Timothy: Right. And plus, too, you add, of course, again, what God’s trying to do is break their pride or whatever. I’m kind of wondering if they would have worked past the fear and said, explain it to us if he might have done that. There’s no way for me to kind of know that. But I think a lot of times when you’re explaining stuff and nobody wants, doesn’t want to look like they don’t understand something, you just kind of get quiet and act like you do. All right. So, they’re afraid to ask and talk about that. But here, Prosecutor Simmons, they’re not afraid to do this. This is important. In Luke 9:46, this is what they’re not afraid to do. In fact, they’re so blind and they’re so stupid and so dull and dumb, they don’t know to just keep shutting up. I mean, they’re shut up on this one thing like, okay, I’m afraid to ask him. But the humility doesn’t go very far, does it, Jacob?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: What happens in Luke 9, verse 46, Jacob?
Jacob: They are going to argue.
Timothy: Argue. And what are they arguing about?
Jacob: Which one of them would be the greatest?
Timothy: Now, think about it. Jesus Christ has just said, hey, look, guys, I’m going to be betrayed and I’m going to go into the hands of man. Now, on the surface of things, Jacob, does that sound like a good thing or a bad thing?
Jacob: Bad thing.
Timothy: Whether you understand it or not or whether you understand the particulars or what’s going on, if I said, hey, Jacob, I’m going to be betrayed today into the hands of King County prosecutors, wouldn’t you at least like be sober minded, like, oh, man, what are you going to go through? Right?
Jacob: Sure.
Timothy: But did they have any concern for Jesus?
Jacob: Apparently not.
Timothy: Apparently not. It’s almost…
Jacob: As if they didn’t understand.
Timothy: They didn’t understand. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t catch the words.
Jacob: Correct. Because at this point, it says to which one of them would be the greatest. So, they kind of knew he was going to be gone.
Timothy: Well, I’m going to go a little bit further now. We’re looking that if you said, Jacob, I’m going to be betrayed and no longer be in my position of authority, that I think they got that. And so now they want to know, well, which one is going to be in charge?
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: Now, that is selfish ambition. Don’t you realize like a King County court or the prosecutor’s office, right? If somebody said, yeah, I’m losing my job today. What really is beginning to happen back behind the scenes?
Jacob: Well, yeah, everybody wants to move up the ladder.
Timothy: Right. They want to seize their position. They might go, oh, that’s too bad. But inside, they’re smiling. They’re happy.
Jacob: Sure.
Timothy: Because why? They get to have a chance to go in that position. And that’s what’s happening here. And that was the opening scripture we’ll get to here in a moment, hopefully today, that where you have selfish ambition, you have every evil practice and disorder. So here we are. This is Jesus Christ who loved mankind with a selfless love is going to lay down his life. And he’s going, by the way, guys, I’m not going to be in my position any longer. And so, they don’t even put their arms around him and say, well, let’s pray or what that’s about. Or, man, that just doesn’t sound good. What’s going on? Instead, they start arguing amongst themselves like I’m the greatest. I’m trying to picture this situation. Jacob, do you think it would have been a clear argument?
Jacob: No, I don’t think it would have been a clear argument.
Timothy: I tend to think it would be for some reason. An argument started about this life was like, because you see it in other places where they’re going to go. No, I’m the greatest or I’m the greatest and I want to be. But I hear you can come out in a lot of different ways. But arguments brew. You know what I’m saying? It’s like I hear what you’re saying in the beginning, somebody go, hmm, well, I guess I’ll be the one in charge. You whisper it.
Jacob: Sure.
Timothy: And then somebody else. Well, no, I don’t think you’re qualified. And so, it’s an argument. So, it builds over time. You’re probably more correct than I am. I tend to be more blunt, like, no, no, I’m the greatest, and so it’s mine, get out of the way. I don’t know if that’s me or not. And so, you get my point.
Jacob: I get point.
Timothy: I get your point. Verse 47 actually, I think, really confirms your point. It says, “Jesus, knowing their thoughts.” So, it’s not a like, I’m going to wrestle you down argument. He’s realizing was going through their minds and their thoughts is probably mumbling out. So, I think you’re more correct, Jacob. “Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.” Interesting thought. Need to stop at this point, because just like people like a King County prosecutor’s office, everybody’s jockeying for position. One wants to be woman of the year and the other wants to be Korean woman of the year. And I don’t do the are the men even like up to game or the bunch of mama boys?
Jacob: I don’t know. I guess they’re a bunch of mama boys. They have to take the backseat due to society pressures.
Timothy: Man, I’m the same men are superior that that’s all the same. But to play like they’re all your mother and they’re just going to baby you and put you in corner.
Jacob: In a roll over.
Timothy: I mean, that’s disgusting dehumanizing among other things. All right. “Jesus, knowing their thoughts.” So, the arguments among their minds and he knows what’s going on. Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all– he is the greatest.” Jesus Christ is doing more than just saying to them, guys, your pride and in your mind and in your thoughts. I mean, he can read their minds going, why are you talking like he doesn’t engage in the argument? He’s trying to hit the heart, isn’t he, Jacob?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: Whoever welcomes this little child. In fact, it’s an object lesson. You got to praise God for his patience. I don’t know about you, but if there’s an argument going on and you want to make a point, don’t you want to be as direct as possible? Isn’t that what we want to do?
Jacob: That’s how you usually if you want to win an argument.
Timothy: Yeah. You step up to the plate and you just kind of go at it and lay it out clearly. In fact, well, whatever, be the man or woman that you’re meant to be and don’t let anybody walk on. I mean, that’s that Satan’s message. But Jesus is more subtle. And the reason that he is in this particular case is he’s trying to break the heart. These guys are going to remember seeing and hearing this a lot more than Jesus just at this point saying that you’re in pride. And there was a lot of that that went into sound doctrine church where there was a lot of subtlety. There were clear rebukes and Jesus does do that at time. But there was a lot of abject, small, quiet lessons done by the Holy Spirit. And those that don’t respond to this and betray Jesus in the end become more hostile because they’re remembering these things. It’d be like putting the one of the betrayer disciples on the stand and go, well, what Jesus authoritative. What did he do? Well, you’re going to look pretty stupid saying, well, he brought a child among himself and he said, we got to become like children. That’s why they can never offer specifics that were truthful and honest, because this is an abject lesson by humility, with humility and through humility. Make sense?
Jacob: Make sense.
Timothy: And the sub question we can’t get to today, of course, is what kind of leadership do most people want? They’re not going to want what Jesus is talking about.
Jacob: No.
Timothy: They do not want pastors that are powerful little children. they want pastors. They can manipulate pastors to tell them what they want to hear or actually…
Jacob: Just leave them alone and don’t actually rebuke them.
Jacob: Correct. Or strong enough just to make them feel that they’re getting a strong enough message. That’s what you’re after there kind of thing. Anything else before we move on to the next scripture?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Go ahead and play Mark chapter 10 and we’ll discuss this a little bit more.
Video File: Mark 10, 35-45. “Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask.” “What do you want me to do for you?” He asked. They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with. But to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.” When the 10 heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Timothy: Any initial takes on that, Jacob?
Jacob: I think it’s kind of crazy when, if we go to the first part, 10:35, that when is anybody really walked up and be like, I would like you to give me whatever I ask. Pretty bold.
Timothy: Actually, it happens more than you think. Do not people go into prayer or group prayer and just start mouthing off whatever they want?
Jacob: Yeah, whatever they want. That’s true. Yeah.
Timothy: Yeah. It happens all the time. Now, I agree with you. This is like, um, setting yourself up for trouble to go into Jesus. Again, I won’t repeat all the miracles and things he did, right? And go, hey, Hey Jesus, we’re buds, we’re tight and we’re out here with you. We’ve forsaked everything. We left our wife and kids at home and we don’t have any money and we’re, that the implication is we are tight. We’re in good.
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: And so, Jesus, we want you to do for us whatever we ask. I agree, that’s an amazing request.
Jacob: It’s like, well, because it’s a worldly thing, right? Like, what’s it? I scratch your back, you scratch mine. So like Jesus, we left everything, right? We’re scratching your back and we’re following you and we’re doing whatever you want us to do. So, we want something out of the deal.
Timothy: You bring up a good point. I did not catch that part. I’m just.
Jacob: No, I’m just saying it’s like a worldly attitude because then he goes, he rebukes them and he’s like, well, this is the wrong attitude.
Timothy: Okay. Amen. Good point. I could chew on that one for a little while. So, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask.” Amazing question, especially when you’ve been rebuked before and it’s not like Jesus hasn’t put you in her place. So, our main point really upfront, real fast, and again, these are all hour-long sermons is how easily we’re puffed up and how easily we think we’re in a relationship with God and how much we need to be humbled by Jesus Christ. Prosecutor Simmons, your point for you is that’s what sound doctrine church was like. Everybody came in and I say everybody in their flesh and they’re asking from Jesus why I want this or I want that or will God do this or that over there and it takes some time, sometimes a long time for people to learn to be a humble servant and say, okay Lord, what is it you want to will and work? Humility is far from them.
All right. Jesus, Mark chapter 10 verse 36 says, he doesn’t go, Hey guys, you know that that’s a silly prayer. Be careful again what you’re praying. Give it some serious thought. You might go, Lord, I want a ministry that’s powerful of you, right? Really you want to be persecuted. You want to be ran from town to town. You want to be known for standing for the word of God, all the word of God, no matter what happens. Really? Really? They don’t know what they’re asking. What do you want me to do for you? So, Jesus is okay. Fine. What do you guys want? Which underscores another thing. Jesus is willing to address everything that we come to him in prayer and I don’t have time to get into all that, but the answer to that prayer will be in accordance with the word of God and with the cross of Jesus Christ.
Just do a casual reading of Psalms 119 over and over again. He says, “Answer me according to your word, lift me up according to your word.” What you find is a lot of prayer in the church. They’re not saying according to the word or according to the truth. It’s just, this is what we want and it’s a superficial understanding that somehow Jesus is Santa Claus or what a smiling Jack Jesus. They’re blunt with their answer. Read Mark chapter 10 verse 37 Jacob. They’re blunt.
Jacob: They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”
Timothy: They have faith. They see something’s going to happen now. They may be misplaced in their understanding what that glory is. They may think it’s a worldly government or in heaven. I’m not sure. It really doesn’t matter, but aren’t they very clear about what they want?
Jacob: They know Jesus is going places. He’s going somewhere and we want to be there.
Timothy: Not just there.
Jacob: Yeah. We want to be right next to you.
Timothy: Right or left. Doesn’t matter. In fact, they’re probably going, we’re humble enough, we’ll sit on the right or left side.
Jacob: Sure. Yeah.
Timothy: It doesn’t matter which side you do because Lord, you’re Lord and we’re just humble. We’re willing to accept either the right or the left and we’re not going to argue about either position. All right. Jesus, always a man of truth. Prosecutor Simmons, Judge Lori K. Smith. You have to understand, Sound Doctrine Church was a church of truth. People would come in all the time with what they want or think they understand or what’s this scripture saying here. Some of it was getting close to what the truth is. Some of it was way off. I mean, look, I’ve dealt with people who one guy, he dealt with sexual immorality. So, he came in with scripture that David had concubines and he wanted to have concubines. Well, I mean, it’s kind of a no brainer, but I’m just giving you an idea. When you’re dealing with the sinful nature of people that are coming in to pick up their cross, there’s going to be confusion. There’s going to be frustration. They’re going to be told things they don’t want to hear or things they think they hear, but they need to be crucified in. And when you drag that into a secular, godless courtroom and you bring in all of that confusion, you are doing nothing more than persecuting and prosecuting the love of Jesus Christ that is trying to deal with people’s hearts.
Look, Sound Doctor Church was not a law firm. We didn’t come together and everybody picked their words and pick this vice here and go direct here and get everything exact and a little common. We weren’t allowed to twist the law and pervert the law and bring things around. We’re dealing with hearts here, and you bring in your cold, calculated, we’re going to destroy you, we’re going to take you down, we have all the power, we exercise it, we’re going to crush you. That’s not what sound doctrine was about. When we say in sound doctrine as disciples, you’re going to be crushed, it’s by the loving hand of Jesus Christ. Does it feel good? No, being crucified with Christ is not a pleasurable thing, but you do it and remain because of the resurrected life. Anything on that before I press on? There’s a little bit of a mini sermon out there, Jacob.
Jacob: No.
Timothy: All right. “You don’t know what you’re asking,” Jesus said. So, Jesus poses the question, all right, I’m considering your request. That’s why scripture says, “Let your words be few.” God’s in heaven and you’re on earth, so basically shut up. Let your words be few. Took me a long time to learn that, but that’s real wisdom. All right, so Jesus says, “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I’m baptized with?” What do you think, Jacob? They’re going to go, no, I need a little more prayer, I need a little more time. What do you think they’re going to say?
Jacob: Nope. Of course they can.
Timothy: Correct. Read verse 39, the first two words.
Jacob: “We can.”
Timothy: We can. No hesitation.
Jacob: Yep.
Timothy: Yep. I’ll do it. Me, me, me, me. “We can,” they answered. All right. Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I’m baptized with.” But and he’s answering their prayer, isn’t he, Jacob? He’s giving the answer. The answer is no. How many people don’t seem to realize that so much of what we pray is, well, no, A, you don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s contrary to God’s will, or maybe it is God’s will, or maybe it’s in the future or maybe it’s not for today. Jesus goes, no, “But to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom has been prepared.”
Everything comes back to God, Mr. Simmons. Nobody at Sound Doctrine Church got by with jockeying for a position or a power play. I certainly, I didn’t even have the energy being to exercise authority. I mean, that is so foreign to not only love, but it’s the opposite of Jesus Christ. It didn’t even come to mind. I’d been a disciple for Jesus for decades and by the time I got to Sound Doctrine Church, no comparison is to the person that I was. I’d ask you, Jacob, to say is that amen, but everybody would kind of expect you to say amen, but for the sake of the truth, is it true?
Jacob: Yes, it’s true.
Timothy: All right. And the reason I say that is because there is power in the blood of Jesus Christ to humble, to break, to crucify, to deal with sinful, to deal with pride, selfishness, greed. I’m not like King County prosecutors. I’m not like you because of the grace of God. The only difference between me and King County prosecutors is I was willing to humble myself. Mark 10, verse 41, the rest of the 10 are not getting this concept. This is, “When the 10 heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.” Man, you can just see it going wild at this point. Jesus called them together and said, and again, he’s doing this again. It’s always breaking out. Selfish ambition, dealing with that kind of pride and sin of man does not go down easy. It doesn’t go down easy. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles,” King County prosecutors, “Lord it over, and their high officials,” woman of the year, Judge Laurie K. Smith, “Exercise authority over them. Not so with you.”
There’s the commandment. There’s the clarity. Like, knock it off, guys. That’s called a rebuke, Simmons. It’s called a life-giving rebuke. “Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” First of all, getting the concept, Jacob, you understand that Jesus says, yeah, you got to become a servant of all, right? Well, understanding it is not the same as possessing it. Early on, I mean, early on, reading Scripture when I was baptized in the 70s, yeah, I read it. But when I looked at my life and looked at the stubbornness and the selfishness and all the things that I was, I didn’t possess it, but I understood it was there. And I would pray to God, okay, work it, bring it about. The biggest thing that frustrated me way back when in the church was they’d always, those that kind of preached this would lay it out there, but they never told you how to do it. It’s kind of like, yeah, become a servant of all. Well, okay, exactly. How does that work? How do we do that? Because they weren’t really trying to live it. Because I tell you, how you live it is you have to let God crucify you, and it hurts.
So, I’d come to God and say, okay, Lord, teach me to be a servant of all. And situations would come up. People would come into my life. He would convict me. His word convict me, would demonstrate and draw out my pride. Just one really quick example. Young man, didn’t have that much patience, right? And being young and married at that time, so I’m a young, stupid, husband kind of routine, go-getter, young, all the energy, all that kind of stuff going on. So, I’m in the prayer closet realizing, man, Lord, I need more patience. I just need to slow down and be patient with people. And so, my wife at the time would interrupt my prayer time, and I would go, what do you want? So, I’m praying about it on the one hand, and then I’m getting irritated because I’m being interrupted. Get my point?
Jacob: I get your point.
Timothy: You got to let God do the work, and that takes time. And Prosecutor Simmons, you’re wasting a lot of time. I mean, at least Lord drew me when I was in my 20s. You are wasting time. And the amount of blessing you could lay hold of this, I mean, that’s all in God’s hand. But better get on with it if you want it all. And Judge Lori K. Smith, don’t know. I mean, it doesn’t even strike me that you’re even concerned about it. It said, “Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant.” Whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. Jacob, can you go into any bookstore? Let’s just do Christian Bookstore right now. And go, yeah, where’s your section of books on being a slave to all?
Jacob: No, I don’t think so.
Timothy: Really? You can’t find that anywhere?
Jacob: No, not down the aisles. And they would be like, what?
Timothy: Well, you know, how to put a good marriage together. So how can I be a slave to my family?
Jacob: No, they don’t. Yeah, there’s no slave words in their aisles.
Timothy: You got to be kidding.
Jacob: I’m sure.
Timothy: Now, surely you have been to weddings, right? A male and a female. I got to clarify.
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: Right. And the pastor turns to the woman and says, do you take so-and-so to be your lawfully wedded husband to be a slave to him?
Jacob: Yeah. Yes. No, you’ve never heard that.
Timothy: Oh, you’ve seen that?
Jacob: No, I haven’t.
Timothy: No, I know. You’d be ran out. She’d probably come unglued and come after you. You know what I’m saying? The family would come after you about it. Oh, you want to control all the slander behavior.
Jacob: Then you’d have the objections in the weddings. You can speak now or forever hold your peace, “I object.”
Timothy: That’s why the prosecution that Prosecutor Simmons actually did, did a pathetic job. You could have said, well, what does Tim Williams preach about people serving? Well, we were supposed to be slaves to him.
Jacob: Yeah. Oh, yeah, that’s true. Yeah. But that’s because then if you go to the scripture, it doesn’t say be a slave to Jesus or a slave to leadership. It’s a slave of all.
Timothy: Correct. And that’s why they didn’t pull it off. But that didn’t stop. Look, Simmons had nothing to do with logic.
Jacob: No. Yeah. I see what you mean, though. Yeah. You could have twisted it that way.
Timothy: Oh, yeah. And the way you ask the questions. And then Judge Laurie K. Smith is not going to let you respond in a way that’s going to actually clarify. And Detective McCall is going to say everything comes back to him because he’s the slave master kind of routines. It’s a no win situation. I’m just saying he did a pretty poor job.
Jacob: Sure.
Timothy: I wish he’d have called me. I’d have done the prosecution part of it.
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: Oh, I’d have done it. We could have put Malcolm on the stand. I could have laid all this out and he could have answered according to the truth. Mark chapter 10, verse 45. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served.” Please be assured. I never, ever, one time prayed to be a pastor or to be a preacher. Never. Didn’t even come to mind. I’m not telling you there aren’t other people that pray that. And God works it. But I just never prayed. That’s just me. I never did. In fact, he just laid a hold on me, began the crushing process, formulating this kind of concept. Like, yeah, I wanted to be a preacher. “But to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Not just any type of servant, but to actually serve, to actually see that somebody is serving. This isn’t enough for lip service. Again, I want to go back to, can you find any tracks in any churches? How to be a slave at all, Jacob?
Jacob: No, you cannot find these tracks.
Timothy: I mean, I’m asking, is this not central to who Jesus Christ is and what he’s called us to be?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: Have you heard any leadership seminars? Like come to the leadership seminar, you who want to be leaders, and we’re going to teach you how to be a slave to everybody in the congregation.
Jacob: No, I haven’t seen it.
Timothy: It’s not even talked about.
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Why? Because nobody seems to know the glory of it, but make no mistake about it. It’s a humility breaking thing to our flesh. Now, once you grab a hold of it, it’s life and you get it, but no man gets to that naturally. It’s not like, he’s just baptized and all of a sudden there are people that go around serving, but in their hearts are not slaves of all. And this is according to the Holy Spirit and how he works it. There’s a big difference here. I’m not enslaved to King County prosecutors, but I will be a slave and a servant to them. There’s a difference. I’m a slave of Jesus Christ. And so, when I serve other people, when I’m a slave to them, it’s through his guidance and direction. So please, I’m begging you, don’t play me for a fool. I’m not enslaved to any man, but I’m a slave to every man. That make sense? All right, Jacob. Let’s talk about woman of the year. Let’s play the clip.
Video Clip: Chief Judge Lori K. Smith won an award. What award you ask? Why, being a woman, of course. A woman judge in Seattle, Washington, a state infamous for abusing good laws to show favoritism towards, you guessed it, women. All of which proves Judge Smith is not a Christian. 1 John 4:5, “They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world; and the world listens to them.” The Consider Podcast. Examining today’s wisdom, folly, and madness. www.consider.info.
Timothy: The only reason that Judge Lori K. Smith is woman of the year, and by the way, Jacob, she didn’t win that award once, but twice.
Jacob: Oh, twice.
Timothy: So, she’s a twice winner of woman of the year. What I couldn’t find was man of the year awards.
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: Or white man of the year awards, you know, that laid down the laws and the constitution and the Bill of Rights that allowed for Judge Laurie Kay Smith to get into her position. Didn’t find any of that going on. But that’s not my point today. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world. The reason that Judge Lori K. Smith won woman of the year twice in a row was because she is of this world, not a Christian. Jacob, can you imagine if I were a judge showing no partiality to prosecutors or police or a defendant or anybody on the stand? I don’t care who. They could be a woman accusing somebody or a woman defending somebody. It doesn’t matter. I would show absolutely zero favoritism. Would I win an award?
Jacob: No, you would not win an award.
Timothy: Well, isn’t not showing favoritism a good quality?
Jacob: It’s a good quality, but not for winning awards.
Timothy: Especially if they knew I was a Christian, right?
Jacob: Oh, yeah.
Timothy: I’m pretty confident Judge Lori K. Smith claims the name as among a lot of Mark Larson claim to be a Christian. All these people do. So, winning this award, clearly, it’s because they don’t show any favoritism.
Jacob: No, that’s not what they won the award for.
Timothy: No, they won the award for being a woman, showing her perspective, her bias. For one thing, it’s not needed in King County courts. Aren’t judges, all judges supposed to represent the truth, the law, to allow everybody equal justice under the law? Isn’t that what should be going on, Jacob?
Timothy: That’s what they’re supposed to do.
Timothy: Well, the minute that you introduce, well, I’m a woman, you’re bringing your bias into the situation. You’ve already negated that what you were called to do, which was self-evident in this trial, obviously, on multiple levels. One, she’s African American. In fact, when it says that she won the award, that’s what they literally state. She’s an African American woman bringing a different perspective, blah, blah, blah, to the justice system. In other words, she’s biased. She gives us what we want, and there’s an innocent man in prison today because she refuses to repent of her pride and her arrogance. And all these men, King County prosecutors, bow down to this and allow this favoritism to go on, and they are very willing for a corrupt cop to manipulate an accuser with a church that they don’t like and to let it go on for decades, all because of why? Selfish ambition and their pride and their arrogance. What utter fools! It’s not even a good representation of the law, let alone of Jesus Christ, correct?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: All right, well, 1 John 4:4, what I just said earlier, I’m a slave to all men, but I’m not enslaved to any man. “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them.” I’ve overcome King County prosecutors. I’ve overcome Judge Lori K. Smith. I’ve overcome the current governor. I’m overcoming all these people. They might enslave, they might do whatever they can do, they might exercise their authority, but they do not control my heart and faith toward Jesus Christ. “You are from God, and have overcome them.” Because the one who is in you, this is not religion, Prosecutor Simmons. This is not some outward dogma that the church puts together. This is Jesus Christ in us. And just as Jesus Christ was denied justice, but he overcame the world by way of the cross. I walk in those footsteps and I walk according to following him and he is greater than you and Judge Lori K. Smith and all of King County Court and all of the state of Washington.
“The one who is in you is greater than the one who’s in the world.” You worship your God. Go ahead. The God of this world, by the way, is the devil in case you didn’t know. Go ahead. That’s your choice. But you can be sure, you can be a hundred, you can bank on it, that justice is coming and he will overcome this injustice that you did to his people, to his love and to his grace. They are from the world. Judge Lori K. Smith and yourself are from the world. That’s where you come from. That’s where your wisdom comes from. And therefore, speak from the viewpoint of the world. Oh, he writes the books. Who’s in charge? Where’s this leadership coming from? What did they do? Were you compensated for this? Did you get this over here? That’s all the viewpoint of the world. “And the world listens to them.” If there’s one part of the scripture that’s true, Jesus, I mean, Jacob, is anybody listening to us?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: No. You’ve got, again, a cop, evidence, proof of the criminal activities that he and his co-conspirator did. Is anybody listening?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: They’re all just willing to overlook it. All right. Any thoughts?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Then let’s repeat the intro and talk about James 3:13 in greater detail.
Intro: It’s Prosecution Jason Simmons Bible Study Time, Part 4. Lesson to learn: selfish ambition is a crime.” James 3, 14-16, “But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from heaven, but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.” The Consider Podcast. Examining today’s wisdom, folly, and madness. www.consider.info.
I’m going to go over this real quick because I want to move on to a couple other scriptures here. But James 3:14 says, “But if you harbor bitter envy.” Everybody working in King County Prosecutor’s Office is envious of the other person above them. That’s just the sinful nature. They flatter one another. They boast about one another. They boast about themselves. “But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it,” woman of the year, or deny the truth. Because of the selfish ambition in you, Prosecutor Simmons, you deny the truth because the truth just didn’t fit your little agenda. So, you refuse to examine and look at it. And your wisdom comes, look, just as I get wisdom from my source, meaning the living God, you get wisdom from your source. No mighty in mankind, regardless of the lie they believe, just goes to school and gets wisdom. Wisdom comes, we were made to receive wisdom from the living God. And when we fell in the Garden of Eden, Satan took that place.
So, the whole world is being fed, “wisdom”, but it’s from the devil. Only true disciples of Jesus are being given wisdom from Jesus. But there’s no neutral. Nobody’s neutral in this. That makes sense, Jacob? I don’t want to move too fast here.
Jacob: That makes sense.
Timothy: Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven. And see, this is not a religion, Simmons. The wisdom that was inside of your church came down from heaven. This isn’t your average, every day, local-schmuckle church. Such wisdom does not come down from heaven, but is earthly, unspiritual, and of the devil. So that’s where it comes from, and that’s why you did the things that you did and denied. You even said the freedom of religion in the Constitution is null and void in this courtroom. Where do you think that wisdom came from, Jacob?
Jacob: Definitely unspiritual, earthly wisdom.
Timothy: Correct. From the devil. “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.” And then he goes on to describe what wisdom is. But what I want to hone in on is the word “impartial”. “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is, first of all pure, then peace-loving, considerate, submissive.” Would you say, Simmons, and these people were considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: And they certainly weren’t impartial, were they? Not at all. They only showed kindness or respect to people that they wanted to. In other words, they showed favoritism. Any comments before we move on?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: All right. In this next section, Prosecutor Simmons, you actually need to take notes here. Because if you ever bring in another group of true disciples of Jesus to prosecute, there’s some rich fodder in here for you to go for. Because if you ignore everything I just said or don’t even understand it, and I’m talking about all the podcasts talking about leadership, this will fit the tea of persecution by prosecution to a tea. Go ahead and play Acts 6:1:7, Jacob.
Video File: Acts 6, 1-7. “In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So, the twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the Word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word.” This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit. Also, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenios, and Nicholas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So, the Word of God spread, the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.”
Timothy: Jacob, did you catch the part that’s just, man, a prosecutor, an ungodly man would just salivate to bring into a courtroom of woman of the year?
Jacob: I don’t know.
Timothy: Look at Acts chapter 6 verse 2. Because you’ve got to understand that everything about humility and brokenness and being a slave of all is not going to be presented in the courtroom, right? I mean, Simmons just totally did away with that. I mean, to hear Detective McCall and everybody else, everything came back to me, and I wrote the books and how that was related to anything else. I keep repeating them. But look at what it says, Acts chapter 6 verse 2. “So, the 12 gathered all the disciples together and said,” ooh, they’re acting in leadership, Jacob.
Jacob: Correct, yes.
Timothy: Who’s in charge here, folks? Which one of the 12? Simmons, by default, is goading an argument. And had they not been spiritual people and he’d have been there, hey, hey, wait a minute, who’s in charge here? Normally, that would break out into a fight, right?
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: It wouldn’t have worked this time around. These guys, they’re on the flip side of the resurrected life. Jesus has been crucified and resurrected. All right, so they’re acting in leadership. They’re actually doing something. They’re solving a problem. The problem was, of course, some widows were being overlooked in the distribution of food. They had to give everything to the church. And the church was dependent upon what? Their daily food. They controlled everything. You can just hear it because it’s already been going on. You get my point?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: All right. Actually, it was a joyful thing. The church was meeting each other’s needs. They were in deep fellowship with one another. It’s a grand thing. It’s more blessed to give than receive. Acts chapter 6 verse 2. “So, the 12 gathered all the disciples together and said,” now this is properly everybody. Now it’s the disciples, those who are kind of in the know, those who have a little bit of maturity behind them, and said, and here’s the part where Prosecutor Simmons would just hammer. They say, the 12 said, “It wouldn’t be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.” Do you see what I’m saying, Jacob?
Jacob: Yes. Simmons would be like; you don’t want to work. You don’t want to do anything. It’s the same thing they accused Moses, right? Moses is sitting around writing tablets. Where is he at? He’s not with us. We don’t know what happened to Moses.
Timothy: Exactly. And so, Simmons would be coming in going, oh, he preaches and teaches that we’re to be a slave of all. But when it comes down to it, who’s being served here? They’re above everybody else, and they don’t want to wait on tables. They don’t want to be a servant of all. I was constantly by everybody that come through. Not everybody had a bad heart. Some people, they just don’t understand or see what was going on. The amount of criticism, questions went on and on and on. It never stopped, because everybody coming into the church, guess what, Jacob, didn’t come in as a saint.
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: All right, so they’re baptized. They’re young believers. Here’s just one minor story that’s kind of funny. This is even among children. I don’t know. I want to say he was 14. I don’t have the. So, everybody has their opinion about what gadgets I should use, right? Well, you probably didn’t know that. But, yeah, one of the complaints was I have gadgets or this gadget or whatever, or I have this, or why do I do that? Blah, blah, blah.
All right, so he comes in, and he’s got that attitude. And I know where it’s coming from. It’s coming from home. So, it’s not like I’m not telling you it wasn’t naturally within the child. But, okay, now I know what’s going on in the conversation in the house, right? Everybody had their opinion about how I should dress, how I should look, what I should buy and not buy. And I tried to be a servant of all in those matters. But obviously there comes a point when you can’t because you become just enslaved to wickedness, which is a different story. Anyway, kid comes in. He’s standing in my office. And he’s got that attitude. And I go, all right, pick anything in this office. Pick anything in this office that I have that you think I shouldn’t have, and I’ll explain to you why I have it. Smile comes on his face. He looks around. He goes, what about that electric stapler? Because I had an electric stapler, one that you plug in, right? And I wasn’t trying to up one on him. I’m trying to teach him a lesson. I said, okay, the reason I have an electric stapler, and I’m going to be a little more sarcastic. I wasn’t this way with him. It’s not because I’m too lazy to reach over and squeeze the thing and staple them. Have you heard this story before, Jacob?
Jacob: Yeah, I’ve heard it.
Timothy: Okay. So, the reason I had an electric stapler that was plugged in is so that it wasn’t taken from the office. If it was plugged in, because every time I wanted a stapler, somebody had come in to borrow it or I gave it them to use. It was a necessary item so that I could just simply keep a stapler on my desk. But to this young man, clearly it was a sign of selfishness, correct?
Jacob: Yeah, laziness. You didn’t want to have to physically push it. You didn’t want to wait on tables.
Timothy: Or I just wasted money on something electrical that you could do manually.
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: All right. Simmons, this is none of this. When they’re saying, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.” It’s a fact of leadership and the position and what serves the congregation best. You don’t need the 12 who are, and I’m going to put this in worldly terms, experts in Jesus Christ taken away from the ministry of prayer and the word. And by the way, Simmons, we go, oh, you’re just going to spend your time praying all the time and you’re in your office. You’re not doing anything. You should know by now that’s a whole different word. “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables.” It’s true. I didn’t do a lot of things that people thought I would do. But, hey, try and preach a sermon. Try and study the word of God and do. I’m going to tell you; God would never call me to do that. But that’s not if there’s a choice in God’s will, which is better to wait on tables or to devote oneself to the ministry of the word of God. You tell me, Jacob.
Jacob: To devote to the ministry of the word of God. That would be the higher calling.
Timothy: That’s the obvious one. “Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the spirit and wisdom.” By the way, we’re talking about waiting on tables and you want to pick your best men. I don’t have a man. I wish we had time to go in. This is a sermon you don’t want. So often they go. We need people to serve chicken at the potluck or we need men to. Usually it’s women, but we need men to do this kind of thing. It’s supposed to be the most spiritual men. You want your you want your most spiritual men in the slave positions in the church. Very often in a church, the janitor is a third party that’s hired or somebody within the church. The idea person that you want as a janitor would be one of the most spiritual people in the congregation because that’s who people talk to. That’s who they see. He has feet on the ground. He can hear what’s going on and that’s what’s happening here. Look at the wisdom and the love that is here. “Choose seven men among you who are known to be full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them, and we will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
Now blessed is the congregation where Act 6:5 is true. “This proposal pleased the whole group.” What a congregation that would have been. This was the early church, a whole church that would have been happy with the decision. Jacob, when’s the last time you saw a church meeting, committee, whatever, and everybody was happy with the decision?
Jacob: You usually don’t see it.
Timothy: No.
Jacob: And even if they are, it’s different than this because they were happy about the decision to, I don’t know, model the kitchen.
Timothy: True. Nobody actually gave up their opinion and let it be crucified and they were happy by the wisdom of God. I hear what you’re saying. All right. So, let’s go to another one that can be used. And this one, I think we’re going to go a little long today, but this kind of wraps up as far as we can go with leadership. Go ahead and play the next clip and let’s give prosecutor Simmons a little more fodder for his cannon.
Video Clip: 2 Corinthians 10:6-11. “And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience; once your obedience is complete, you are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he. For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it. I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters; for some say his letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing. Such people should realize that we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.”
Timothy: Don’t get the idea that leadership in Jesus Christ, well, bringing a slave to everybody is not this. What am I wanting to say, Jacob, a meek and mild little beaten down servant standing in the corner, afraid to say anything?
Jacob: Sure. A servant of all, like you’re not a yes man.
Timothy: Not a yes man for sure. And there was an authority that came from God, but the foundation, as I’ve repeated over and over again, was based on humility and brokenness. But there is an authority there that protects the body. And let me give a little warning here, Mr. Simmons. You scattered the whole church and you destroyed whatever authority I had over in the church, which means you took away the safeguard of protection of that church. Not only the protection of the church, but the protection of those individuals who were repenting of sin. There are people that had very shady backgrounds who were struggling mightily with sins. And I was able to, by the authority and the guidance and the grace of God, to have a church structured that kept sin in its place, kept the church in a safe place, and was a beneficial to give people time to change. Am I making myself clear, Jacob, and that once that authority is gone, they’re on their own, and I’m no longer in any position or power to protect them or to protect them from other people.
2 Corinthians 10:6 would be the fodder for Prosecutor Simmons, and we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience once your obedience is complete. There is an authority. Don’t play games with me. There is a meekness, there’s a humility, there’s a gentleness. That’s the status of how you want to be in every state and situation. But push come to shove, if you play the game, if you just become rebellious, if you just get into yourself in a position of sinning or you come in to cause trouble in the body, you better believe I’m going to deal with it. Isn’t that what a good father does? Isn’t that what a good shepherd does?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: Isn’t that what love would do? Now, Simmons, I’ve got to clarify, this isn’t the favoritism you show to every cop that lies or, let me rephrase that, every cop that puts on the stand who obviously is paid to lie for the sake of the prosecution. This isn’t that kind of protectionism. This is real love that does what is best for everybody else. And there was plenty of people constantly coming into the church, coming in with questions. I didn’t know whether they had good hearts or bad hearts, it didn’t really matter, but they were just causing trouble and it would be dealt with because that’s what led to peace. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience. Look at the wisdom and the love here. Once your obedience is complete, Jacob, can you tell me what this scripture means?
Jacob: No, not fully.
Timothy: The point I’m honing in on is once your obedience is complete, what does that mean?
Jacob: After you’ve repented?
Timothy: Think of this in terms of a child, like a child’s five years old and you’ve told them certain things that they can’t do, right? But you know they’re not able to be fully compliant. You’re teaching them the rule, but you’re giving them time to grow into that rule.
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: Does that make sense?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: So, a five-year-old, you’re being taught to clean the room and it’s not the best job, but did you expect the best job?
Jacob: No. And you’re going to know that they’re not going to do the best job for however many more times because you’re teaching them. And then when they’re of a certain age, then it will be required and then they’ll be punished because they’re old enough and they should know.
Timothy: Exactly. And there will be some punishment even as they’re growing, but it’s age and ability specific.
Jacob: Appropriate.
Timothy: Appropriate. Good word. I like that. But what happened in, and the people that you like to put on the stand at hated Sound Doctrine Church was, there was this patience, this guidance, this pouring out of one’s life, giving them time to actually change and grow. And they might begin to do that and get to that point. But then they begin to put down their cross or they didn’t want to go all the way with it and they just persevere in being rebellious. Then the punishment, the rebukes, the clarity becomes more and more clear. And that’s what some communicated on the witness stand because you gave them the ability to lie and exaggerate. They’re not laying out, oh man, I deserve the rebuke and I deserve to be punished for this because I wouldn’t listen to anything that was said for the last 10 years. Make sense, Jacob?
Jacob: Yeah.
Timothy: “We will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.” So, there was a great deal of love and kindness and patience and protection and everybody was in a different place and some people would watch other people and that would change over time. I can’t go into all that dynamics, you wouldn’t understand it anyway. That’s why 2 Corinthians 10: 7 says, “You are looking only on the service of things.” Duh, that’s what King County, that’s all Judge Lori K. Smith was about, was the service of things, correct?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: 2 Corinthians 10:8, I’m not apologizing, there was an authority and that authority did protect the church and that authority did allow the church to grow. In fact, the people that we paid to come in that were outside sources to examine the church for which you have the report, the huge notebook stayed in there that the quality of sound doctrine church was a testimony to the leadership that was going on. But you didn’t look, you didn’t care, you didn’t want it. And the reasons are spiritually discerned. “You are only looking on the service of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as he.” We’re not going to play this logical game while I’m in Jesus Christ or I’m a Pharisee or I went to Bible college or I didn’t go to Bible college or whatever. Look, this is just a matter of being in Jesus Christ, loving other people, protecting the church, having an environment that is conducive to pursuing holiness, righteousness, love and self-discipline and the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. What more could you possibly want unless you love the darkness? “For even if I boast somewhat freely,” verse 8, somewhat freely. Jacob, did I ever boast about the authority I had in Jesus?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Never. I mean, Paul did, and by all means, he had a right to do so. But I never, ever boasted at one time about that. I have an authority in Jesus Christ.
Jacob: No.
Timothy: I should have, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. In fact, Paul goes on to say, “I will not be ashamed of that boasting. For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it.” By the way, this is all about building up, making people stronger. And that only applies to people, obviously, who really want to follow Jesus Christ. Everything about King County prosecutors’ leadership, everything about a courtroom, is it for pulling people down or building them up?
Jacob: Pulling them down.
Timothy: Pulling them down, rejoicing that you’re pulling them down, never lifting a finger to help, not doing anything, right?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: The humility is there. Paul goes on to say, “I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters.” Sermons were stronger than my behavior in the congregation, weren’t they, Jacob?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: My writings in the books, my writings in the tract, my writings online, are they not stronger than my actual demeanor as I walk around on daily life?
Jacob: Yes.
Timothy: Absolutely. There’s a huge contrast. The letters are meant to be clarity, so you can get a hold of it yourself. That’s what the sermons were about. That’s what all the, they’re strong, they’re clear, they’re powerful, they’re unbending. They’re everything that has to do with the truth. But I don’t walk around, we all know pastors who walk around with like, Helen Brimstone, I’m in charge, all of that. That’s all kind of there. There was just none of that in normal, everyday life, was there, Jacob?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: Paul says, “I will not be ashamed of it. I’m not ashamed of it, but I am a little embarrassed about it.” All right. “His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he’s nothing.” That’s the contrast. I’m just a man. Just a man seeking to love Jesus Christ. All right, let’s go with one last one. Sounds like the old days, Jacob, when I was preaching and go, ah, one last scripture. Go ahead and play 1 Corinthians 4.
Video Clip: “I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children. Even though you have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the gospel. Therefore, I urge you to imitate me. For this reason, I am sending you Timothy, my son, whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church. Some of you have become arrogant as if I were not coming for you, but I will come for you very soon if the Lord is willing. And then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?”
Timothy: There you go, Mr. Simmons, 1 Corinthians 4:21. You can make a case for assault. “What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?” He liked to use the whip. He was on a power trip. That church didn’t do anything, right, that one day after another day was this boredom and this drudgery. They didn’t even do birthdays. There was there was no definition of hours and days and sunshine. It was this depressing. It was this whip situation, right, Jacob? Yep. There’s no record of Paul actually literally using a whip.
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: It’s called dialogue. It’s truthful dialogue. Paul saying, look, I’ll find out what power these arrogant people hold. This is not a game. These aren’t word games. This isn’t like a gentleness, like, well, I’m a coward when I’m in front of you if need to be. Look, if you want to go there, I’ll go there. There’s no need to go there. He says, “’m writing you not to shame you. This is not to put you in a corner. That’s what he said in verse 14. But to warn you, like, don’t push things to the point that I have to come in with some power and a whip. What is so difficult about that, Jacob, as people discipline their children, like I told you once, I told you twice, right? Don’t do it a third time or you’re going to have to stand in the corner or have your little quiet time out or whatever it is, right?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: So, is the whole goal of saying that to a child so that you can go punish them?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: No, the whole goal is to say, I’m the father or I’m the mother and I’m in charge. You need to listen to what I’m telling you because it’s coming from love. And if you will not respond to that love, then you will be punished. Sorry, Simmons, but this is the family of God. This is how the love of Jesus Christ; love does no harm to its neighbor. Love always protects. What kind of loving pastor would I be if I watch people go into sin and just did and said nothing?
Jacob: Be a bad pastor.
Timothy: I’d be commended by the state of Washington because as long as you’re nothing and you’re kind of lukewarm and you just got, God loves us and everything’s fine. It’s all dandy and everybody lives their own little life, right? They don’t mind that.
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: But do anything of substance and they’re after you. He goes, “I warn you as my dear children.” This is the love and this is what you trampled on. Even though you have 10,000 guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. It is true. Some people call me father, not like Catholic father. It’s an endearing of love and a relationship. And by the way, I never ever asked anybody to do that. Did I, Jacob?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Never asked anybody to call me father. And I wasn’t a father to everybody. Some people were already in Jesus Christ. They had other fathers that brought them to Jesus Christ. There are some people though that the first encounters of the gospel and being baptized for the forgiveness of sins and becoming to Jesus Christ, I was the one God placed in their life. And in that sense, that spiritual sense, I became their father. I wasn’t trying to replace their physical father, although we all become the family of God and that’s who we belong to. And other families since all that, look, I can’t do anything about the truth of the gospel. You either going to belong to your family, which is going to hell or to the family that’s going to heaven. Yes, you talk to them. Yes, you’re in a relationship with them as much as they will allow that to happen.
“For in Jesus Christ, I became your father through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians four 16 would be another one. “Therefore, I urge you to imitate me.” That must go them like crazy. They think this is just some big ego trip. Jacob, do you think it’s an ego trip to, and I don’t remember ever really preaching and saying standing up at the pulpit and go, Hey, I want everybody to imitate me. Whatever you’ve seen in me do that, be impractical. What do you, you’d have to be massively arrogant to say that without humility, right?
Jacob: Correct.
Timothy: And again, I didn’t even go around saying it, but it was like that you should be able to look at any pastor, any servant that’s in authority in the church and go, I shouldn’t imitate them. If I, if I want the blessings, I want what they are and who they are and their relationship with Jesus Christ, I should imitate them. Don’t have time to look at it today, but you do that without following a man because Jacob, if you imitate me, what is my central life, who I am pointing them to do? If you imitate me, then what’s your only goal in life?
Jacob: To follow Jesus.
Timothy: Right, to seek the living God. So, it’s not following me or, or follow me, which I’m pointing only to Jesus Christ, only to him. Anything you want to say, Jacob?
Jacob: No.
Timothy: Take us out of here.

Get It Straight
Let us get it straight, right now, right hard.
It is non-of-your-business who someone does or does not associate with. No court, no family-court-we-do-not-half-to-follow-the-Constitution "Family" court’s business who someone does and does not associate with. Period.
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
That stated Enumclaw Deceptive Detective Grant McCall flat-out lied on this and every issue associated with Sound Doctrine Church, aka Timothy Williams. Defective Detective Grant McCall twisted, perverted and criminalized that which is perfectly legal and reasonable.
Clearly, Judge Lori K. Smith does not comprehend the difference between a criminal and "family" court. That is why she turned her court into a politically correct witch-hunt, Stalinist-style corrupt court on illegal steroids trial for lawless King County Prosecutors. King County Prosecutors knew that Judge Lori K. Smith would bury Judge Beth M. Andrus’ whitewashed criminal activities of Enumclaw Detective Grant McCall.
All of the above have a tremendous amount of repentance to perform if they remotely expect God to bless them with eternal life.
I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. (Matthew 5:26)
Overview Police Hate-Crime
Washington State’s court corruptions enforced City of Enumclaw Detective Grant McCall’s and co-conspirator’s religious hate crime. Detective Grant McCall is a self-righteous, radicalized Baptist King James Bible-only cop.1
Combining the built-in arrogance of police and prosecutors and over-weaning pride, his religious beliefs were the measurement of Washington State Judges. A perfect storm of hatred was enflamed so that facts, evidence and reality were ignored and / or twisted beyond description. Go so far as to script out false accusations, memory plant, delete evidence and wipe his dirty feet on the word "detective."
Freedom of Association
The right of association is recognized under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and the right to petition the government. This right is also protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, which extends the protections of the First Amendment to the states.
The Supreme Court has recognized two types of freedom of association: expressive association and intimate association. Expressive association refers to the right of people to associate together for expressive purposes, often for political or ideological reasons.
Intimate association, on the other hand, refers to the right of individuals to maintain close familial or other private associations free from state interference.
The right to expressive association was first recognized by the Supreme Court in 1958 in the case of NAACP v. Alabama, where the Court upheld the NAACP’s right to refuse to disclose its membership list, arguing that publicizing the list would invite repression against members.
The freedom of association is not absolute. The government may prohibit agreements to engage in illegal conduct, and forms of association that are neither "intimate" nor "expressive" within the meaning of First Amendment case law may not receive constitutional protection.
Additionally, the government does not have an obligation to listen to a group or association’s concerns, even if the individuals have the right to associate and express their opinions.
Legal scholars have debated whether the right of association is grounded in the First Amendment or in the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Ultimately, the Court recognized two different strands of freedom of association, tying the freedom of expressive association to the First Amendment and the freedom of intimate association primarily to the Fourteenth Amendment.
The right of association is considered an indispensable means of preserving other First Amendment freedoms and is essential for safeguarding individual freedom and cultural diversity.

City of Enumclaw, Enumclaw Police, Scripting Accusations
What follows is just a small measure of the evidence that criminal activity was engaged in by the police and co-conspirator. It has become self-evident that Prosecutors have so corrupted "the law" that ideological, Stalanist-style court oppression has become normalized.
Carla Speaks
Transcipt
Carla was dying of a brain tumor, Glioblastoma, during the hate-crime. She was the wife of Timothy Williams for almost 38 years.
There are far too many lies and twisting of the truth that can be addressed here, but one among many Enumclaw Detective Grant McCall enflamed was that the church did not talk to families. (As if this were somehow his bussiness and was something he considered illegal!) Fact is City of Enumclaw Police were activetly involved in shutting down family discussions.
Carla Speaks Out
Carla Williams: So, the next year when she and I were coming together we try to make a point to go see her mom. I really encourage her let’s go see your mom for just a little while, because she got you don’t get to normally see her. So, let’s make sure we see her while you’re there. And she was kind of reluctant because it’s kind of hard. Her mom, her dad was gone and she didn’t know how her mom would react and the dad had passed away. So, we tried to get in. I’m not sure there’s one time we went and we messed up on, she messed up on the rental car, so we couldn’t go. We couldn’t go see her, because we couldn’t get a rental car to go see her. The other time we got in a rental car ahead of time, so we had a rental car all during the week. Then we knew we had the car and we went and saw her.
And at that point, her mom was really getting senile or I don’t want to say how Alzheimer’s. I don’t think she had Alzheimer’s because she seemed to know where she was at and who she was talking to. But she repeated things over and over and over again. It was driving Athena crazy. I just thought well that’s normal. I’d work with enough people like that. I knew that was normal. Just you know love her and be patient. And her mom just love the fact that she was there. She could tell her mom was eating up the attention from Athena. She really was glad to see Athena, and her mom to me was really sweet little woman and her house was beautiful. You could tell they lived really well and the house was beautiful, had these beautiful paintings. And then the toilet wasn’t working I remember fixing the toilet for, the chain on the toilet and telling her how to, tell the next person, tell her son how to fix him.
At this point, I think the brother was in had already moved to Texas or was in Texas. And so, there was talk about the mom moving to Texas with her. So, one thing I thought was really strange was this really neat picture of Athena in a wedding picture and a wedding gown and it was a beautiful picture of her in a wedding gown. And I think 1970s type picture. And I said, well, who’s the guy? Because it’s not Chuck and I remember some pictures of Erin’s dad. I said, no, that’s my first husband. But I said, that marriage was an old. How can you have a wedding picture of an old marriage? My mom liked the picture and she paid for the dress and everything, so she wanted that.
So, I thought that was kind of strange, kind of funny that she kept a picture of a marriage that never happened really. And she just liked the picture of having a wedding gown with her daughter, because the other ones didn’t she didn’t have any other pictures like that.
It’s like I believe it’s 2010 Athena was going to go to ICRS with us in Saint Louis, but she had messed up again with some authors and there’s a big problem, a lot of chaos. So, she had to stay behind in order to clean up this mess she made with some authors and things like that. Her probably some usual promises that she makes authors and cause probably some chaos and I’d have to go back and really look at the records to see what kept her behind, but she didn’t go to Saint Louis with us that year. And that’s actually the last time she ever was going to go to ICRS, because we kept having to pull her back and pull her back and said, no, you’re messing up with authors. So, we couldn’t trust her to do what was right and kind of in those big events, those big areas.
So, that year 2010, we had a ticket for ICRS which have been July. And we offered that ticket to her to go see her mom, because this ticket had her name on it and we weren’t going to turn it over. We had a year and we offered it to her to go see her mom in Texas. By this time, her mom had been transfer to Texas with the brother. I said, why don’t you go there and see her, and you can just use that ticket. Because ICRS wasn’t, she wasn’t going there we weren’t going any other conferences. So, it was a gift from WinePress and from us just to say, okay, why don’t you go see your mom. Because she has a whole lot of time left, if your brother’s pulling her out from Chicago in Sydney or he to live with him, he’s concerned for him.
But she never give us a date, never give us date. She give our account in a day for a minute and then she change it, no, I can’t go then. And she never gave a date to where the ticket expired and we kept asking her, okay, this is running out, you got to go see your mom, you really need to go see your mom. And because your mom’s like be around. I never met her dad because he died before I met, before she took me to meet her mom. She told me a lot about her dad on the way back from meeting her mom and told me more about what happened when he died and things like that, but I just never met him.
So here she was she had a chance to be with her mom. She was with her dad when and he was in the hospital so but she had the same chance to be with her mom at the end and she didn’t want to be. Now her mom’s still around as far as I know, but here she was being given a chance to see her mom and be with her mom. And we were encouraging to and she just, she’s obviously didn’t want to. She didn’t reach that ticket and then so we ended up just wasting that ticket.
Oh, I remember her dad was dying. She went and saw him. And spent some time there at the hospital. And so, her I don’t think her, I don’t know if her mom was there or not. I can’t really call she told me she was or not. But she spent some time with her dad. Talking to her dad and trying to work things out with her dad because he’d been, and his mistress was there. So, there’s this mistress that he’d had for 30 some years. So, she said, she spent time with her and talking with her, and sharing the gospel with her.
So that and I don’t know any whole lot of details but she’s shared a lot with me about that and how her and the mistress now were. There’s open communication between them and the mistress was happy that they had talked and that type of thing. And she did not, she left the dad was still not had not gone on yet, but she left. And then when he died, she didn’t want to go to the funeral. I said, well, if you got something going on with the mistress and you got something going as far as open communication and something with her brother that she got to talk with him some, then maybe it is a good chance for you to go and show love and be there. But she opted not to. And so, that was her choice and we encouraged her to go to it and continued plowing with what she’d already started plowing.
Enumclaw City Continuing Story
On-going video evidence is still being presented at www.enumclaw.com
Video Evidence
Backstory
Washington State is infamous for bias and corruption in its court systems. The City of Enumclaw Police, for decades, because of the prideful prejudice of a radicalized Baptist policeman, had backhandedly slapped Sound Doctrine Church, WinePress Publishing, and pastor Timothy Williams.
Around 2011, an individual decided to multilevel market a hate crime with co-conspirator City of Enumclaw Policeman Grant McCall. Seizing on the natural animosity of those who reject or have turned away from following Jesus, combined with the law enforcement corruption in Washington State, created an enflamed lynch mob. Every lie was employed, and every avenue of marketing the hate crime was enflamed to red-hot hatred. Washington State, Seattle, and King County Prosecutors, blind to their arrogant corruptions, were eager to promote themselves through selfish ambition to groom further a False Accuser for their prosecution.
Though Timothy Williams was never charged with a crime, the stated goal by the Enumclaw Police and Prosecutors was the destruction of Sound Doctrine Church, WinePress Publishing, ending with forcing Timothy Williams out of the City of Enumclaw. In short, another innocent person was charged with a crime so that Timothy Williams could be destroyed by association. The level of proof I have at my disposal is both overwhelming and unrefutable at least for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear reality. – Timothy Williams
Washington State Guilty Parties
Without exaggeration King County Courts have zero intrest in evidence, investigations or the truth. Remember this well when showing up for jury duty. Fact: Prosecutors and Judges will use corrupt Police to help script out accusations, not look for evidence, witness tamper and, of course, lie.
While not forgetting those who spread slander, prosecutor Jason Simmons and the cut-throat gang caused many to stumble, sin or fall from the faith. Fear for them because they fear not. See Millstone.
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. Nahum 1:3
Guilty Parties
Washington State
Legal Corruption
Listen to The Consider Podcast or examine overwhelming evidence on www.consider.info, or www.enumclaw.com
The following is basic information and a short list of the guilty parties involved.
The Washington State court system and its associated legal entities are currently engaged in significant abuses of rights. Right rape is now the normal operating procedure in Washington State.
The Washington State Supreme Court has systematically undermined the rights of those accused of crimes, leading to rampant corruption among prosecutors and law enforcement. One example out of many of the court’s devaluation of individual rights is exemplified by its ruling allowing dogs in the courtroom in order to manipulate juries in favor of the State.
The Supreme Court of Washington State by appealing to emotions rather than facts of a case threw open the door for police and prosecutors to promote wide-spread and deep seated corruptions. City of Enumclaw Police and King County Prosecutors seized upon this lawlessness in the name of the law to engage in a hate crime of false accusations.
As one prosecutor in Washington State publicly stated during jury selection, the process for the prosecution and police resembles a "dog and pony show." Thus it is no shock to witness the degrading lawlessness, ignoring of facts and right rape of others within the legal system.
In the case of King County Superior Court, State of Washington, Plaintiff vs. Malcolm Fraser, Defendant, Case No. 12-1-01886-0 Knt, it’s important to clarify that the true plaintiff is, in fact, the King County Superior Court, State of Washington, against Sound Doctrine Church or Timothy Williams who was never charged with a crime in Enumclaw, Washington.
Washington State prosecutors have employed abusive legal strategies to pursue an unfounded charge designed to eliminate Timothy Williams or Sound Doctrine Church from Enumclaw. The defendant, Malcolm Fraser, has been exploited by King County prosecutors and Enumclaw police to indirectly proxy-prosecute Timothy Williams.
Judge Beth M. Andrus exhibited favoritism towards Prosecutor Rich Anderson, even after reprimanding him for making inappropriate, prejudicial, and offensive comments. She downplayed the wrongful actions of City of Enumclaw Detective Grant McCall, contributing to a narrative intended to discredit the church and its activities in Enumclaw, ultimately leading to the collapse of a business, church, and bookstore while forcing the church to leave the community. Despite being a pastor’s daughter, Ms. Beth M. Andrus demonstrated a shocking lack of Christian values or even legal common sense.
Judge Lori K. Smith worked with King County prosecutors to hinder and deny the defendant’s ability to present a defense. She turned the criminal proceedings into a chaotic "family court" atmosphere that enabled false accusations to undermine justice. Judge Lori K. Smith, allegedly influenced by being named "Woman of the Year," distorted justice to guarantee a guilty verdict against a man. In short, Judge Lori K. Smith was bribed and, seeking to maintain her social standing abused the rights of the accused.
Prosecutor Dan Satterberg assigned five prosecutors specifically to target the church. Prosecutor Leesa Manion who was supported by Satterberg, takes inappropriate pride in being the first Korean woman to hold a position in the prosecutor’s office. Ms. Manion actively endorses the corrupt practices initiated by Satterberg, including reinstating Prosecutor Rich Anderson.
Detective Grant McCall of the City of Enumclaw was implicated in orchestrating a fabricated hate crime. He deleted evidence and fabricated accusations while refusing to investigate the claims of hatred and the actual crime as charged against Mr. Fraser. Detective Grant McCall and King County Prosecutors knew that a proper inquiry and investigation would expose the falsehoods. King County prosecutors obstructed and suppressed any effort to initiate a proper investigation.
The prosecutor team included Prosecutors Mark Larson, Lisa Johnson, Nicole Weston, Rich Anderson, and Jason Simmons.
This is not an exhaustive list of those who have facilitated, protected, and perpetuated self-serving corruption within the Washington State court system.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. Acts 17:30
