MEMORANDUM

Date: February 14, 1995
To: Randy Sue Pollock
From: David Steiner
Re: feed forwarding for final letter

Attached you will find a copy of a newsletter from Southern College (formally Southern Missionary College) where my father, mother, two brothers and my sister went to college.

On page two you will see a picture of Elder Robert Folkenberg.

On page three you will see a picture of Elder Al McClure.

On page five you will see a letter from Elder Malcolm Gordon. Malcolm Gordon was president of the Carolina Conference of Seventh-day Adventists during the Rebok Research Foundation days (Rebok happened at Fletcher, North Carolina). In 1989 Al McClure moved from his position as President of the Southern Union Conference to become the Vice President of the world SDA Church. McClure replaced his vacant seat at the Southern Union Conference with Malcolm Gordon.

On page six you will find a very important article titled ON GUARD. This is one of thousands of articles written around the world, in SDA papers or talks given by church ministers and administrators, about the complications that David Koresh and the Branch Dividian Seventh-day Adventists Church was causing the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

This information is very important in light of the FD-302 that Stan Walker produced after his interview with Jim Ayers (a relative of Robert Folkenberg and Kenneth Emmerson). Folkenberg is President of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and Kenneth Emmerson is a retired treasure of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventist.

Mr. Walker is aware that Helen Rogers is nothing but a hired tool of Robert Folkenberg and Al McClure. Helen Rogers has taken on a personal vendetta against me.

Folkenberg and McClure are the first cause of the thirteen years of attacks against me. Helen Rogers is just the hired character assassin.

The Talmud teaches that to assassinate someone's character is worse than the act of murdering that person.

This memo helps set the groundwork for my last letter.

I was puzzled. Weren't the headquarters of the church at Takoma Park, Maryland? Why was this paper so unprofessional in appearance? All the books, pamphlets, and Bible study helps I had received from the church were beautifully designed and printed. Theses pamphlets did not match up. And their message did not build up. It tore down. It was just one attack after another on the leaders of the church. It posed as Seventh-day Adventist literature, But was it?

I soon learned that the Shepherd's Rod group, who were not really members of the Adventist Church, were the source of the literature. Their mission was not to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to the world, but to undermine the church that had been given the gospel commission.

After graduation, I sold Bibles and copies of Bible Readings to earn money to pay tuition at Southern College and to have a part in spreading the good news that had brought such joy to my life.

One of my canvassing partners was Perry Hones, a student from Madison College. Perry was especially energetic and cheerful. That is, until he received letters from his father. Then instead of going out to sell books and Bibles, he would stay in his room for days reading the literature his father had sent. It had been published in Waco by the D. Seventh-day Adventists.
