I think that the people in this video who came forward to share their experiences are very brave, and they have some tough times to look forward to as soon as Grisham and his group see this.

i sincerely hope that David his cult family pay for their arrogance. they have done nothing but SCARE people away from the church. a group of folks should organize and go picket in front of his house on the sidewalk. it would be perfectly legal.

@mixter2568 – - the difference would be that Grisham and as you say “his cult family” wouldnt hide behind the door. They would most likely come out and talk to the “protesters” and might even invite them in for a cup of coffee!

well, Pastor Troy..we have tried to ‘talk’ to the protestors…but they aren’t interested in hearing any words but their own. And I wouldn’t drink or eat ANYTHING they handed me. It would probably be poisoned. I dont hide behind any door. I walk proudly thru that parking lot with a smile, and a camera, so I can take pics too. We didnt ask for your crap, and we didnt offer you ours. Go home and take care of your own life…let us take care of ours.

Pastor Troy…. let me just state a few things. In the beginning, many of the swingers did come out and talk to the “cult”. They did this every time. Of course they did not like them being out there, but they did go out and talk to them. There were even several times throughout this time that we have gone out and offered them bottled water and snacks. The swingers were not out to be mean and rude. However, the “cult family” you are speaking of apparently came to a point when they realized that their peaceful assembly was not working so they have moved on to criminalistic acts. Now you can get on here and say that they have not but as I have already said numerous times…. God knows the truth and God knows that this “cult family” is doing just as I say. Otherwise, why would they need the camera? See, there were not cameras used within the first 6 months of your protesting. No one attacked the group nor was there that many confrontations. However, since the group has begun to video everyone, get license plate numbers and research people’s personal information, call people’s families, call people’s employers, etc. there has been more confrontations. have you ever considered the fact that these group’s tactics are what is causing people to be afraid and more confrontations to happen? Seriously, Pastor Troy…. you cannot expect any individual to be threatened in one way or another and not expect them to try to defend themselves. So, no… the swingers group is NOT very welcoming to the “cult family” but who in this world can blame them?

Well Pastor Troy and Russell Grisham, you have not won at all. These people will and have found ways around your heretic ideals and protesting to find places to meet. You are Nuts and hopefully the City of Amarillo Police Department will realize this soon before you hurt someone. You are not christians as you profess, but you are bully’s and religious terrorists who find it necessary to stalk, harass, ridicule, threaten and the list goes on and on. Do you honestly think that God will forgive you of these things? What do you think you are going to accomplish here? These people have been a silent group for many years and have not harmed anyone, yet you come along and decide that you are going to save them from their sins. Funny but I think that being a false prophet is in the category of sinning. Seems to most that you are only out for your personal glory and not really there to “save souls” and to belittle and ridicule those that do not follow your beliefs. I dont think that calling a woman a $40 dollar whore would be putting a jewel in your crown, but sinning as well, dont you?
Hmmm…if that is what you are selling…I aint buying!!!!!

They have already hurt people. from all that I have seen they have caused a woman to fall. The owners walk around wondering what is next, The owners have genuine fear of what they will do next. Guess it is going to take blood before something is done.
And I have something else to say the people that go to the club are all adults, Now they are being labeled and being attacked because of there choices. Is that how hate crimes start?

I refuse to be singled out by Raving ministries anymore…I plan to go to bat for the owners of the RT 66 club…they are good people and they shouldn’t have to live in fear. Neither should any of us. I am an adult and I know how to make choices that are right for ME. I could care less if those choices are right for Pastor Troy, or the gruesome Grisham twosome, or 15 Burger John, or any of the other freaks that have a seemingly unlimited supply of bullhorns and bibles. Obvioulsy the city of Amarillo isn’t going to protect its citizens…they leave it to us to take care of business!

A great man one said, NO success however measured can compensate for failure in the home. Having a child convicted of a crime and showing him how to commit more crimes in the name of God would seem to be the ultimate failure !
How can you claim a victory when a Judge says you are committing Crimes. How can you celebrate a victory when you claim your goal is to save souls. Has even one “swinger joined you! Spys that are still attending the parties do not count. If your message is true I am thinking they would stop the “sins”, not continue to enjoy them.
How can Victory be attained when yor actions have drawn your “targets” closer together and increased their numbers, their resolve, and their supporters.
Christ is about Love not coersion! I contend there are better Christians inside the “CLUB” than ouside protesting.
