Dale A Prisoner Of Satan - Bethel (The House Of God)

there today. And they said, “When we came and sat there, and heard you preach, and felt the Spirit of the Lord,
and saw this simple man on the pulpit, it was nothing like what the newspapers said. That man cannot be Jim
Jones.” And they believed and got baptized. Hundreds and hundreds more came since that time. So the devil
cannot stop the Word of God.
MIDDLETOWN PRESS 5/29/81
Quote: “‘They claimed,’ he explains ‘that if I am allowed in the church of God, God will strike me
dead.’”
Unquote: That was Dale Graybill when he was trying to get into the church, and out of the mouth of
Lockrow. Nobody said that at any time, that if they entered the church God will strike them dead.
Quote: “The suit was filed yesterday at Middlesex Superior Court in Middletown. In their complaint,
the man allege that Bethlehem have accumulated thousands of dollars in mandatory member contributions,
and has used ‘cajolery, intimidation, threats, and demands’’ to gain “ complete control’’ over its members.”
Unquote: How many say, “Those are lies?” [Congregation shouts, “Lies!”] Lie of the devil! We make
no money pulls here, we don’t even compel anybody to pay their tithes.
Quote: “The plaintiffs’ affidavit states that all of the sect’s adherents were required to donate 10% of
their earnings to the society.”
Lockrow who has been active in the group until March of this year, claims that the exodus of the
group members began in 1979, when the society began to grow ‘more legalistic’ in its doctrine.”
Unquote: That is when the truth came back and everything started tightening up towards the Word of
God. Some of you children were very small. I have been coming here for the past thirty years now and the
devil has never stopped me. Thirty long years! From 1979 to 2009 is thirty years of service to you people and I
have never grown weary yet. I am happy to be here and be identified with you people, my brothers and sisters.
The token is at hand. The longest rope has an end! We are coming to the end and we will have that outpouring,
we will have that revival! Fear not, only believe!
Quote: “Lockrow claims. He also stated that the church encouraged parents to remove their children
from school at the age of sixteen, because ‘education is of the devil.’”
HARTFORD COURANT 6/1/81
Quote: “Members are prohibited from depositing money in banks, because the church believes the
country is headed for bankruptcy.”
Unquote: What happen, are they blind? You cannot see the bankruptcy coming now? We never forbid
anybody from putting money into the bank.
Quote: “‘The money isn’t being used to meet the people’s spiritual needs. It’s being used for the
individual’s needs,’ Lockrow said.”
