FROM BRIAN KARJALA:


(2/21/10)
It's been reported through many news services that the wife of televangelist Benny Hinn has recently filed for divorce.  The warning signs against this man have been with us for many years.  We even have audio and video of Benny placing a curse on his critics:

Benny Hinn puts a curse on people

"Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not."
(Romans 12:14; KJV)

Also in violation of the Scriptures Benny has engaged in the practice of necromancy (communication with the dead) which will surely bring the judgement of God upon Benny and other gnostic teachers like Rick Joyner who claim the same kind of experiences.

Benny operates just like an occultist.  In fact, Benny demonstrates through his words and actions that he is a warlock.  By understanding Benny's occult-like beliefs you will garner the wisdom that the so-called slain in the spirit phenomenon practiced by the man is also not of God.

For more info about these issues search google.com for "Benny Hinn and necromancy" and "Benny Hinn curses opponents."

For years I've warned people about the heresy of Hinn, on this site and through e-mail.  I've had people slander me because of the stand I've made.  I once knew a disciple of Benny Hinn who spoke lies about me back when I was attending college in Florida during the mid-1990s (that was when Benny's headquarters were based in Orlando).  For a brief time I attended Palm Beach Atlantic College in West Palm Beach, Florida (which later became a university).

What's really going on in Haiti?

Hello everyone.  As we enter into a new year I thought I would reflect on some of the events that happened in my life throughout the last decade.  This new year marks ten years of operation of this website.  I've survived hacking attempts and, some years ago, there was even a buyout offer of this site.  Unfortunately, for years my e-mail address has been used by spam machines to send out massive junk mail to random people.

In May 2006 I appeared on Denver's FOX News Channel to denounce the televangelist Peter Popoff.  In late 2006 a man by the name of Mike Jones (male prostitute to pastor Ted Haggard) read my warnings about Haggard and shortly after went public to expose Haggard's hidden sins (which became a nationally known scandal).  In early 2008 there was the mentally ill man who authored a slanderous (and ridiculous) Wikipedia article about me and who later even impersonated me online.  The person who did these things was the one time most popular guest on the James Dobson radio program (see The Investigation of Tom Papania)!

We had some good news at the end of this last year.  One of the biggest religious fraudsters of the last half century has finally passed over into judgement.  The now deceased Oral Roberts popularized the seed-faith heresy mimicked by every cheap-jack evangelist of our day (see The Roots of Today's Seed-Faith "Gospel").  Some decades ago, in order to escape financial ruin, Oral was also responsible for implementing one of the worst scams I've ever seen that has also been copied by his successors: the "personalized" letter scam where he would impersonate the Holy Spirit in order to extort money from hurting people (see an Example of the Fundraising Letter Scam).  There's a special place in hell that Oral now occupies.  The Scriptures do teach us that sinners who are not saved are judged according to their works.  In other words, punishment varies in hell for each individual depending on their earthly actions.  Oral amassed a wealthy lifestyle here on earth by robbing the poor with his crooked theology and empty promises.  Good riddance to that devil.

Near the beginning of the past decade we experienced the 9/11/01 attacks.  Long time readers of this website will remember that I was in New York City for the start of that dreadful day.  It was my first time there.  My flight to Egypt was delayed into the early hour morning of 9/11.  After four Middle-Eastern passengers were kicked off my flight for "being in violation of government restrictions" TWA Flight 888 boarded and took off at about 2:20 a.m. and landed some eleven hours later in Cairo.  With most airports closed that day I was one of the few people in the world to take a flight on the night of 9/11 as EgyptAir was still flying and took me to the city of Hurghada where I met my Russian contact.  As I boarded planes in those Egyptian airports that week I was the only one I ever saw to be singled out and frisked (body searched) by security.  As a six-foot-three (6'3") caucasian male of military age I was perceived as a possible threat.  So I understand racial profiling in the Arab world.  That was a dangerous and tense time where I encountered a lot of characters who didn't like me ("Why Mohommad, what an ugly thing to say!").  In the future I will again share more about my adventures overseas.  (2001 Egyptian Photos)

For the new year and new decade there is only one thing I am asking for myself.  I'd like to find a wife and start a family.  So if you know of a beautiful young God fearing lady who wouldn't mind getting involved with a rebel (the good kind of rebel) I'd be happy to hear from you.  I'm an old school romantic and gentleman.  I want to kiss the hand of a lady and exclaim, "Madam, you rock my world!"

The November 2006 national U.S. elections saw the Democratic party capture the House of Representatives and the Senate.  The elections that year represented a backlash by American voters against the Bush White House and their Republican allies.  Many of the war-weary public believed that the Democrats would help bring an end to the U.S. led wars on foreign soil and even lead to impeachment procedures against George W. Bush.

But their hope was short-lived.  With a plastic smile on her face one of the first things the newly elected Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi told the American public was that talk of impeachment was "off the table."  It should have been clear to the public then and there that they had been deceived.  For there is truly only one political force in our nation (which goes by two different names).  Bush got away with high crimes against the populations of the world and the wars continued.

At the time I had hoped that the incident would help educate the American public about the true nature of politics in our nation: politicians do not represent the will of the American people.  But most did not see the writing on the wall.  A large segment of the public would get hoodwinked once again by a new charismatic superstar in the Democratic party.  In 2007 a man by the name of Barack Obama promised the American public that the first thing he would do if elected President was to bring all our troops home.

See and hear the 14 second YouTube Obama campaign promise:
Barack Obama Promised to End War as First Priority as President

So you see, Obama is a well established liar.  And this nation's corrupt media outlets do not hold him accountable.  In fact, they act as his cheerleaders.  I knew before Obama was elected President that he would escalate the wars overseas.  I know who groomed him and I know who his handlers are.  In other words, I know the agenda of his masters who put him into office.

Now after nearly a year as U.S President Obama maintains the continuation of the Iraq war and has called for an increase of thousands of troops in Afghanistan.  We have yet a third U.S. undeclared war on Pakistan.  And in this twisted world the warmongering leader of the U.S. is rewarded with the Nobel Peace Prize.

We're living in George Orwell's book "1984" where war is peace and lies are truth.  This is madness.  Where's the outrage?

Put your hope only in the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Morally Bankrupt Military: When Soldiers and Their Families Become Expendable

In January 2005 I was threatened with a (frivolous) lawsuit.  I've decided to make the one page letter public:

This past summer I was offered my own radio program on satellite radio by the head of a Christian Media Network who likes my writings and needed to fill some time slots.  For only $250 a month I was offered full technical support.  But if I was going to host a radio program I would want to make it one of the best; however, my busy work schedule would not allow me time for the adequate preparation I would want to do before each broadcast.  So I declined the offer for now.

The Christian / patriot network is located on the web at http://www.christianmedia.tv.

Years ago the head of the network, James Lloyd, wrote an article on the fraud of one Bill Deagle who has infiltrated and deceived many "alternative" news sites.  Interestingly, my parents were friends with Deagle when he and his family lived here in Colorado Springs in the mid-1990s.  My parents and Bill and Michelle Deagle met at Ted Haggard's New Life church in a small home group setting.  Deagle dominated my parents' small group with talks of his strange visions.  My research on the man led me to discover that one of Deagle's outrageous claims is that he is one of the Two Witnesses mentioned in the Book of Revelation.  I don't think I've ever encountered a bigger ego.  Deagle is also a quack medical doctor who misdiagnosed my appendix pain symptoms in August 1995.  He told me then that the pain from my stomach was not from my appendix and bragged that he had never misdiagnosed an appendicitis attack.  In his pride and arrogance he tried to confuse me with medical terminology where, if I'm not mistaken, I think he was making up words (this charge is also made by other critics of him).  I did not seek out an additional medical opinion.  Well, my appendix eventually ruptured and it almost cost me my life.

Deagle used my near-death experience as a manipulative tool against my parents.  While I was away at college in Florida one night at Deagle's house in Colorado he videotaped one of my dad's informal dinner talks without my dad's consent.  When my dad found out he had my brother Todd secretly confiscate the tape and erase the content.  When Bill and Michelle found out about what my dad had done they were angry.  My parents apologized.  But Bill let them know that if they had not apologized their first born son (that would be me) would have been taken away by the angel of death earlier when my appendix ruptured.  That's Bill Deagle's style.  That's how he operates.

I only saw Deagle about three or four times before that incident and never got the chance to confront the short stout man about his spiritual threat against me (hey, I had nothing to do with the videotape incident!).  My parents didn't even realize they were being manipulated by him.  Eventually my parents and the Deagle family were involved in a conflict over a real estate deal.  As real estate agents my parents found the Deagles a house in Denver in early 1996 but the Deagles did not want to pay them commission so they filed a claim in court with lies against my parents that the judge quickly tossed out.  That was the end of the relationship between the Deagle family and the Karjala family.

Bill Deagle creates conflict and chaos wherever he goes.  Ted Haggard's church asked him not to return there.  Years later Deagle was asked to leave the heretical "The Prophecy Club" who for a time had promoted him (you know you're an extreme nut when you're too nutty for The Prophecy Club!).

So now you have "Dr." Bill Deagle manipulating and even dominating the so-called patriot movement on radio and the internet (but not all have been fooled).

Bill Deagle's Medical License was Revoked

Bill and Michelle Deagle have three sons and one handicapped daughter -- just like my parents before my sister passed away (though in the mid-1990s the Deagle kids were in elementary school while me and my brothers were in college).

I've laid low throughout this year and haven't updated this section in awhile.  I've still been active through e-mail but have taken some time off to get away from the negative issues of this world.  During the summer that just ended I played softball and volleyball.  At the end of summer I served as a jury foreman on a three-member jury for a traffic dispute.  Also, my new car was hit in the back while parked (at least the offender left a note).  The debit card of my bank account was fraudulently accessed by someone in Spain (though the fraud department of my bank very quickly denied the charges).  Those are some of the recent updates of my life.

But I feel the need to write again in order to issue a timely warning about the media-hyped vaccinations:

Avoid All Vaccinations

There are several good articles on rense.com that I would advise checking out on this subject.  (Browse with discernment.)


I've also been thinking about the worst part of the church system that I left behind.  I've written a lot about the heresy and emotionally driven hype that plague the carnal church system . . . but the thing that troubles me most about the system is the lack of love for the hurting . . .

Some of the saddest stories I hear are from people who have been victimized by the lies and deceit of televangelist Peter Popoff (see the Cruel Trickery link at the top left margin).  When vulnerable people realize that someone who they trusted and invested their emotions and finances with is a conman the effects are devastating.  Some of the people who write to me indicate they are suicidal.  I offer help and my concern for them but often times I never hear back from these poor souls.

I can't tell you how many times I've began e-mails to people stating that "I'm very sorry to hear about your pain."  But with all of the deception and pain I've experienced myself over the years (as written about on this website) it is very rare for someone to show that kind of concern for me (and this site gets a lot of web traffic).  Compassion is a gift and is in very rare supply these days.  Certainly love will not come from those within the carnal church system.  Those who are devoid of truth are also lacking in love.  Truth and love go together.  When one is absent so is the other.
