Episode 51: Pt.2
On tonight’s episode we are hanging out with Dillon Parker. Dillon was apart of a youth “ministry” called Adullam Youth Outreach in Arkansas, led by Mark & Leslie dollar.
The goal of the dollars was to create a loving, family, Christ centered environment for kids who were troubled, homeless or just had bad home lives.
They modeled their ministry after the ramp in Hamilton Alabama and currently serve on the ministry team at the ramp.
Dillon joined this home when he was in his early teens after his dad couldn’t take care of him and while he was searching for acceptance.
This is the same ministry Shannon Walker from episodes 41 & 43 was apart of. He quickly learned this wasn’t a place full of the love of Jesus.
While Jesus was preached to them, so was a lot of condemnation and abuse. From verbal & mental abuse to spiritual and physical abuse. Not only were the kids constantly made to do crazy chores in the name of ministry, they were also berated for poor grades, their weight, among lots of other things. Not to mention Mark being overly aggressive with males and allowing corporal punishment, Mark also had movie nights with the girls only, while having some of them rub his feet with lotion. Total grooming behavior in my opinion.
All this sounds crazy but, Dillons story lines up with Shannon’s, and if you go to her page, you can get testimony after testimony of different individuals who experienced the same things all in the name of Jesus.
I don’t know about you but if that doesn’t scream cult I don’t know what does. Again theses at these young peoples stories but all of them seem to line up and they have no issues repeating the stories over and over again so at the very least it’s what the believe happened to them and honestly so do I.
***** DISCLAIMER: WE ARE IN NO WAY ACUSING ANYONE OF ANYTHING. WE ARE ONLY SHARING THE FIRST HAND STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THESE "MINISTRIES". WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE RAMP,, THEY EITHER WON'T SPEAK WITH US OR WHEN WE LEFT MESSAGE THEY WON'T CALL US BACK. WE ARE FULLY OPEN TO HEARING THEIR SIDE OF THINGS.
We simply want these people and ministries to teach the truth of the gospel with out twisting it to fit their desires and hold true to the teachings of the bible & Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy chapters 3, 4 & 5/
Here's what google defines as a cult:
A Cult is a system or group of people who practice excessive devotion to a figure, object, or belief system, typically following a charismatic leader.
Three main characteristics of a cult are:
Charismatic leader - Cults are led by a charismatic leader who is considered a genius, prophet, or messiah.
Isolation - Cult members are isolated from family and friends, and are discouraged from questioning the cult's doctrine.
Control - Cult leaders have extreme control over members' lives, including what they eat, wear, and who they can have relationships with.
