Denise Lloyd Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I see Emma Machin(a frequent poster) has made a FOI request on HC Facebook page on HC's involvement with the Freedom Church and the OLM - oh dearie me
Denise Lloyd Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Do Freedom Church own a lot (and I mean a lot) of properties in Hereford?
Cambo Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 Drove past the old Marian fathers place the other day, there was a sign outside for the freedom church, saying the place was under new development or words to that effect…makes me wonder who they will get into do the work? Could it possibly be that pastor Gary snowzell's company Solomon property development???
dippyhippy Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 Bumping this topic, because I believe it's relevant, given the new thread started by Jimbo.
Roger Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 As a social worker I work independently providing assessments for the Local Authority.As a church leader I am a part of the Senior Leadership team at Freedom Church Hereford linkedin Do Freedom Church own a lot (and I mean a lot) of properties in Hereford? I think the 'big cheeses' live (or did) in two big houses at Breinton not far from the river. Not aware of whether they are owned or rented.
Denise Lloyd Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 Hasn't the Jess got a house up there somewhere?
Cambo Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 This was on HT Facebook page back in January the comments on there make for interesting reading. https://www.facebook.com/herefordtimes/posts/952737551404857
dippyhippy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Posted May 15, 2015 Very interesting, Cambo. Doing rather nicely, aren't they? (And a mere 102 days late!)
Roger Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 They should run a Football Club! Financial Fair Play Rules and all that!
Cambo Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Very interesting, Cambo. Doing rather nicely, aren't they? (And a mere 102 days late!) I guess as there income has increased by a very substantial amount?…I'm sure they would want to make sure they have all the right figures in the right boxes?…after all they don't what to go making any mistakes with sums of money like that??!! Could be why it's a 102 days late? After all counting that amount of money is no five minute job?
Cambo Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 They should run a Football Club! Financial Fair Play Rules and all that! Or the country?!
Denise Lloyd Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 Yes when you think in normal churches they just count the collection bag each week. All this money FC accumulate takes some kind of shuffling about. Give them time Cambo they've only just got their foot in the door.The stairway to heaven is a long and winding road.
Roger Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 People in The Freedom Church have included in their profiles (on Social Media) that they want to eliminate pornography They are targeting the Very young on their Website propoganda .... Obviously they have a money generating model in place .... Successful it would appear .... An organisation to keep a close eye on I think .....
Glenda Powell Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 It is ringing alarm bells with me to find out that Joanna King is the head of looked after children for the council, these children are vulnerable!!!
Roger Posted May 15, 2015 Report Posted May 15, 2015 It is ringing alarm bells with me to find out that Joanna King is the head of looked after children for the council, these children are vulnerable!!! Precisely why I posted her details that are transparent on the Web. Links to the said Church etc. I'm staggered I never had a comment before yours Glenda!
dippyhippy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 Hi Roger..... in my early posts, page one of this thread, I said I was concerned because of the positions held, by some members. This person is not the only one. By a long way!
dippyhippy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 Money wise...... this strikes me as having similarities to The Pyramid System.......
Pete Boggs Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 Hi Roger..... in my early posts, page one of this thread, I said I was concerned because of the positions held, by some members. This person is not the only one. By a long way! You're right there DH. I seem to recall some ructions a few years back after the contract for a young persons advice/counselling service was given to a Freedom Church front. It later became apparent that some of the Council officers responsible for the award had FC links. It looks to me that the church is using an entryist strategy of the type traditionally practiced by political extremist groups to infiltrate organisations that they want to control for their own ends. I'm guessing the Freedom Church's copy of the bible doesn't have that story about the rich man, the camel and the eye of the needle in it?
dippyhippy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 Hi Pete! If you read through all posts on this thread, all of this has been highlighted! I am really concerned about this, that's why I started the thread. Honestly, you don't have to do an awful lot of digging, to find just how many worrying links Freedom Church has. And now, following the elections..... perhaps a good few more. Please add any snippets of info that you may have..... or pm me if you don't want to post directly on the thread!

Hi Dippy, I suspect my info is already in the public domain, as per your post, but just in case: I believe the contract award was investigated by the Council's audit department circa Autumn 2010 but don't know what the outcome was. Reading the profiles of FC members it seems to me, if you'll forgive the crude expression, there's a fair amount of p*ss and wind involved: Taking down the giant of pornography. Yeah, good luck with that. Regardless of our individual views on the harmfulness and easy availability of porn I'd suggest that the sheer practicalities of getting rid of it are rather beyond a sect of God-botherers from a provincial English town. Much as I enjoy mocking the happy clapper brigade I'm forced to agree that it's worrying that this bunch of loons seem to be gaining influence in the county.
dippyhippy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 Hi Pete, I value your contribution to this thread. It's a real worry, just how quickly this group is fanning out. Their tentacles are far reaching, and many of their members influential. One senior member,in a recent social media post, has said they are now going into television...... reaching the masses..... If they were just happy and clappy,I wouldn't have an issue. But I think there's far more to it than that.....
Cambo Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 New spring church has invested £1,272,285 in FC during 2013/2014?
dippyhippy Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Posted May 16, 2015 All part of the plan, Cambo. See post 29 page 1. Interesting to note.... 1."Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees." 2." The charity is exempt from tax on it's charitable activities."
Cambo Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 Yes I've been trying to work out what exactly is the charitable work that they are doing?
