Where and when did it all go bad?

I was reading some earlier posts today and was reading from what Joel said about DB being kicked out of Crystal Cathedral. Although, I
had been there along with others, I to this day do not understand the reasoning behind such insanity. Crystal Cathedral was of course was
only one of the churches that we were violently thrown out of. There were scores of others.
I hear this big myth of why we had to leave Huntington Beach. We were being persecuted, right?
I tell you the truth on the situation.
Aaron(the space cadet)led us on a protest at a Costa Mesa Junior and Senior High. They asked Aaron to leave, he refused. The police
arrested most of us on the 602.9 Penal code(walking on school property). We spent about 10 days in jail.
Most of us, were put into a cell together along with about 100 other ruthless criminals including murderers and rapists. However, two of us,
Ralph and I myself were put into a seperate cell along with 100 harden criminals. During that time, Ralph was attacked maliciously by a
would be rapist that wanted Ralph as his woman. Fortunately, the guards pulled this man off of Ralph. However, he was beaten up pretty
seriously.
All of us were later released about 10 days later on OR.
We went to court and were found guilty of violating this code 602.9. The great DB instead of being the great leader he should have been,
decided for all of us that we should leave California. Probably, not so much to protect us, but to protect his whimp ass self and his family.
Thus, not only we were guilty on a minor violation but we became fugitives of justice.
I was later rearrested on this charge when I returned back to California(picked up litnessing)about 4 years later . Thrown again into a cell in
Riverside with a brother named Saul. Saul was released right away. I was detained and sent back to Orange County and went to trial again.
But, this time not only did I face the minor charge, I faced a second charge.
God was very gracious to me and delivered me. Not only had the whole law been thrown out as unconstitutional but all charges were
dropped. I was a free man. I felt though at that time more alone than I ever had in my life it seemed as all the revolutionary COG had
abandoned me. "I was in prision and you visited me not."
So, lets stop with these myths, ok? DB was not a shepherd in any way. He fled because he feared, not because he gave his life for the
flock. This is the first incident of your fearless shepherd and giving his life for the flock.
