Will Tony Alamo Ministries Be the Next Jim Jones Guyana Tragedy?

Phillip W. Chambley
This article is based on the "Freedom of speech act " here in the U.S.A. I recently received one of Tony Alamo's 4 color process newsletters on the windshield of my car. Because I am a retired printer, I knew of the expense of this 12 page color process newsletter that this could not be a local ministry, they could not afford such expensive printing was my first impression. After I read the front page of this newsletter (Volume 06200) called "Brace Yourselves" I was even more shocked!

Tony Alamo wrote and I quote: " Then, to the woe and dismay of everyone in the world Jesus who is commonly and falsely today known as "Sweet Jesus" will abruptly, without any notice, turn the world upside down in a moment and literally tear it to pieces". I personally believe in Freedom of speech, but this is getting a little out of hand especially if this is what this Christian minister (whom has also been labeled a cult leader) is trying to communicate to individuals around the world using short wave radio. Individuals whom are in lack of education, money, poor health and government funding. However, I do give him credit in his newsletter, the fact that there is never any mention of "Donations" or "Money," just locations where he can be reached and listened to all around the world.

The Christian minister Jim Jones, also known as a cult leader, fled the country of U.S.A. because of income tax evasion back in 1977. Jones then took his followers to Guyana South America and convinced himself and 912 followers to commit mass suicide in 1978 using cyanide poisoning because his drug abuse had got so far out of control. Tony Alamo served 6 years in prison because of "alleged" tax evasion. Whenever he was asked in court to produce his account books or documents they were no where to be found. He stated that the IRS had them in their possession during the trial.

After he was released from prison these documents and files mysteriously showed up.
Was the federal government trying to prevent the Guyana tragedy from happening all over again? Or were they trying to harass and imprison an innocent minister trying to teach human beings about the "Wrath Of God" ?

In his newsletter, which depicts the photograph of the famous U.S. country singer Willie Nelson and himself at the Grand Ole Opry ( Nashville Tenn. USA), he is wearing dark sunglasses which Jim Jones always wore because of drug abuse. In Tony Alamo's Website he clearly states the words "False accusers against Tony Alamo". This sounds like the same "paranoid teachings" that Jim Jones experienced before he died? The only thing I can say to Tony Alamo is take off those dark sunglasses, get rid of those black leather jackets, put on a "decent" suit and tie, and quit hanging around tax evasion bums like Willie Nelson! And also, what is he doing at the Grand Ole Opry to begin with, this concert hall has nothing to do with religion or any spiritual teachings?

In 1989, Tony Alamo fled the town called Saugus, California after he was charged with abusing a 11 year old child in his ministry of worship, which he eluded capture. Alamo had apparently ordered his members to paddle the child because of the child's transgressions. "Los Angeles Times" April 15, 1999 states that him and five of his followers were charged.

In 1991, Alamo's compound was raided by federal marshall's because of a civil lawsuit originally based on not paying his church members enough money for labor, working in his clothing business and at this same time was getting ready to go to court because of federal tax evasion, the IRS claimed that him and his wife Susan owed 10.2 million dollars in back taxes. Convicted in 1994 and served a six year prison sentence and later spent time in a halfway house in Texarkana, Arkansas.

In Tony Alamo's latest radio interview he is talking about Adolf Hitler? Is he trying to relate in his own mind the picture of world dominance? Most of the interview is garbled which sounds like he is drunk! Besides, why would a worldwide spiritual leader be preaching a sermon about Hitler to begin with to mostly poor and uneducated people?

Personally, because I am of Christian faith, do not see anything wrong with teaching Christianity all around the world through the use of short wave radio, provided that it is taught by a truly dedicated spiritual leader that cares about the welfare of his people and not his personal wealth or "ego".

    Tony Alamo Preaches the bible, the catholic church tells you not to read the bible because it's dangerous. Who is the false prophet here?

    alan tafoya said "Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for miraculously delivering my family out of that satanic web of lies" Although your family was lucky to get out, you sound like you're saying that your "Lord Jesus Christ" must love you and your family more than he loves the victims, such as Justin, Chuck, April, Myron, Elishah, Nathan, Carlos, Miguel, Jason, Tyron, Tony, Darren, Tylon, Aaron, Johnny, Jared,Micah, Eric, Paula, Carissa, and many more of Alamo's abuse. How special you must feel. If god was real, there would be no religious nutjobs nor victims of said nutjobs.

    Tony Alamo is a child porn pervert, Thank Goodness he was arrested today September 21, 2008. He is the scum of all the earth. I hope he rots.

    It really breaks my heart that so many weak people would still fall for the lies of Tony Alamo. My family had fallen into his church and got misled by his truly dark and satanically selfish lies of course disguised by his use of twisting christianity to meet tony's lust, as his belly will never be satisfied. I'm a native american and at this time tony was truly arrogant and very cowardly, as he still is today hiding from people and still using his armed guards. As I look back I truly Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for miraculously delivering my family out of that satanic web of lies. brain washing is too good a discription to be used for tony alamo's dark perversity of Christianity, Very shortly after my family was delivered out of the church prison in alma arkansas, the alamo foundation fell by law enforcement raid and shortly there after tony alamo was arrested on a federal warrant. the fall of tony alamo was prophetically uttered and then came to pass. As a beloved in the fellowship of
