In a specially called Sunday Morning meeting of members of the Church of Israel, who normally meet for church on Saturday in keeping with the fourth commandment, Pastor Gayman "produced" and read letters purported to have been from the pen of Pastor Scott Stinson. Those gathered were told that these "letters" would be posted for all to inspect. According to eye witnesses, Pastor Gayman said that he had taken these "letters" form a "box," when Jerry Gentry had gone into "the tape room." He told the audience that Jerry Gentry did not know he had those "letters."

He said that "letters" were written to various government agencies and media, including NBC. The group assembled were "awestruck" that Scott Stinson "would write" such "letters," and that no one in the crowd had any response. Pastor Gayman's version of these "letters" seemed to be evidence of wrong intentions on the part of Pastor Scott Stinson.

For the discerning person, here is "the rest of the story." On Wednesday, November 15, 2000, Pastor Gayman called me to his office in what "appeared" to be a sincere desire to bring full closure to the various postential issues that might arise from certain documents stored in "a lock box in Joplin," which would require two keys for opening, neither of which keys would be in the possession of Pastor Scott Stinson.

Under the ruse that he Pastor Dan Gayman had completed a genuinely friendly separation with Brother Scott, along with his appeal that he was then praying for the success of Scott's new ministry, along with ample praise to Jerry Gentry for doing such a good job as "broker" in such a potentially stickly situation, Pastor Dan accomplished what he does best. He once again brought me under his "spell" of what appeared to me to be a totally sincere effort to end the matter and bring full closure to everything that might be damaging to either Pastor Scott or to Pastor Dan, he convinced me to plead with and pressure Scott to bring every shred of authentic accumulated memos, letters, etc., that he (Scott) had, and put them into the burn barrel and reduce them to ashes forever.

It took quite some convincing on my and Lori's part before Scott agreed to do that. He knew Pastor Dan Gayman all too well, having seen him "destroy" others with his "spin" in the past. Even so, and with much reluctance, Scott agreed to place in my hands a box representing everything he had accumulated over his many years of association with and ministry within the Church of Israel. I phoned Pastor Dan around midnight on that fateful evening of November 15 and told him that I had a "box with everything." His response was, "Praise God!" I then said I would meet him at the burn barrell the following morning, which I did. We both stood and slid every shred of paperwork into the flames. I had read nothing in that box ever. I noticed Pastor Dan speed reading page after page before he would slide each into the flames. I reminded him that we were not "preserving" things here, but that we were rendering whatever there was in that box as forgotten forever. I reminded him that according to his own words the purpose was to "burn this stuff," why was he reading it, which he continued to do anyway. He had no answer, and offered me no reason that anything would come of it. I didn't really worry then.

Now I see what he was doing. His full intentions even then were to "recreate" his own version of "letters" and other documents which were being burned. His concealed plan then has now been hatched, in the more than three hour meeting held today. Whatever "doctored letters" he presented to the group are I believe falsified. He had earlier referred to "a letter to NBC, wherein Jerry Gentry was Scott's agent to break a big news stgory on this." That conversation is on tape in both my and his possession, and I now admit to having been somewhat taken in by his words. Of course, he did not show me such a letter/s, which he said in this morning's meeting "I took from Jerry's box, when he was in the tape room." Such is highly unlikely, in my opinion. I do not believe he has any authentic letters, at all. I believe he is feeling the heat of the truth posted at dangayman.com, and is now desperately recreating "letters" on Church of Israel stationery, which really never existed. And even if there were genuine letters and/or memos that Pastor Scott had written to Dan or others, which are unknown now, such letters were intended for whatever help they could be to Pastor Dan Gayman, to help him "wake up" and face the realities concerning the many areas where he had put his own "family business" ahead of the Church of Israel itself.

As an act of good faith, Pastor Scott Stinson has authorized me to post any "letter" or "memo" that Pastor Dan Gayman will fax to me at 903-845-5778, which will also be posted here untouched, in an effort to sort out the truth from the lies and "spin." Lori Stinson is a woman of total integrity and she attests that her husband has never done anything or written anything for purposes that Pastor Dan Gayman stated in his meeting today. And to my knowledge, Pastor Scott Stinson has done nothing to harm the Church of Israel, and continues to do nothing even now to harm either the church or Pastor Dan Gayman.
