Iconsulted five agencies dealing with homes to buy and homes to hire(rent),but failed to get one. What should i do next? There is aslide hope which i am not sure of,the day is off now i have to rent a guest room. May our good Lord give us the security needed. Reply as soon as you can to know what to do next. Joseph   10/24/2009 Dear Father James, My journey to Malindi was successful.I was connected to homes consultant who deals with big homes in the town.Bella casa properties showed me to the new homes and found the following results. -5minutes drive to town -Located on the main road. -Stunning ocean view..white sand. -Asian style house with one storey. -4 master bed rooms -Dinning,kitchen plus a store. -The homes are 4000 square feet. .The homes are not proper finished in,parking and the entrance,no swimming pools,small fencing block.. We agreed after denouncing me to take the pictures instead they told me that in there laptop the pictures are inserted.For this reason i gave them your email address to send the pictures direct to you.No business with your email.We agreed that whatever they send to you ,forward to me for more confirmation..sometimes they advertise what is not exactly in there clients.   My request in regard to the homes; I am supposed to return there if you will select from the two homes...to org anise the legal ownership of the homes.Looking the ownership certificate from the dealers ,you and the advocate.To observe proper finishing is done according to the standards.Electricity to be connected immediately. The email address of the dealers is ...baroque25@yahoo.com....THE BELLA CASA PROPERTIES. My phone number....+254727-78XXXX. Joseph   Joseph, You have not followed my directions as I commanded you. I wrote you with the requirements. What part of that did you not understand?   
                                                            
                                                                
                                                                    | 1) I will require a home in Malindi, and it must be in the finest part of town. 2) The home must have two stories and have over 4500 square feet of      living room. 3) The home must face the ocean. 4) There must be electricity that must not be interrupted. 5) Guarantee of weekly cash deposits (USD) to sustain my current lifestyle. 6) Mercedez SLG AMG in the driveway when I arrive so that I can visit the     brethren. 7) Church building within walking distance. | 
 |  Then to add insult to injury, you gave MY email address to some heathen scum? No Joseph, I feel that you have done me a great injustice. When you originally wrote to me you said "Will you allow me to plant your church here in kenya?"  I gave you a chance and you failed miserable. I have decided to take my ministry to China. As to your insolence, consider yourself dis-fellowshipped from the body of Christ! Brother, I am afraid that some people just don't get it! Father James, Painful Truth Ministries. Will Joseph give up on Father James and the Painful Truth Ministries? It seems not.....   Part 
Two. Notes in 
light blue are my 
remarks.My response's to scammer 
are in blue.
 Underline for emphasis.
 Red is a demand for 
money.

cold hard cash!) Dear Father 
James, What is impossible to man

step in  we arrange and show you physically.  We look forward to hear from 
you   Yours sincerely.                    10/28/2009 Dear Father 
James, Greetings in Jesus 
name! A confusion i rather bungled 
on was, *You require a home in the 
finest part of the town, *A home must face the 
ocean, The town is build some minutes 
drive away. kindly receive my  apologies for the errors that i 
misunderstood. Joseph 10/29/2009 Dear Father 
James, I apologise for defiling your 
email to get the negative response.I have received the 24 houses from the 
address i gave you. They showed me 2 homes physically...now they have fowarded 
 alot more.I  am tottally annoyed to this people.I regret for 
this. Kindly honour your promise, i 
am facing a difficult situation if you will not intervine quickly.. Let the word 
of our Lord not despised! Joseph 10/29/2009 Dearest brother in 
Christ, What 
promise? Father 
James. 10/30/2009 Dearest Father 
James, A promise i kindly requested 
to return home, since i used all what i had. Joseph.   10/30/2009 Dearest 
Joseph, You never wrote 
back before the board meeting this last tuesday so I could not tell the board 
what grant amount you required. Please submit an itemized cost list so that the 
board can review it. Father 
James, Painful Truth 
Ministries.   11/01/2009 
  (Damn, travel is expensive in Kenya!) Dearest Father 
James, The Lord Has given   His word 
free!but the buckets to carry it around the world costs somebody 
something. *The church has common 
activities to participate ...bible study,fellowship,eating and sharing.But the 
unifying word is together.Togetherness gives a shape of the church;and 
togetherness must be practiced as God's community with one 
accord. Acts 2:1...Praising the 
lord,eating together,sharing possessions and having favor with all the 
people*. My itemized costs list from 
home to Malindi..a distance of 1174kms away. We started the journey on 
Wednesday 21/10/2009 at 8.00am and reached safely on 22/10/2009 thuraday at 
exactly 5.30am non-stop. Car hire to Malindi.......US.

Dollars 1100.00   (correct) God bless, Joseph   11/01/2009 Joseph, 
 they will want 
receipts. How can I go before the counsel without them? They must have them with 
the name of the business.  Hurry. Father 
James 11/03/2009 Dear Father 
James, With God's help i managed to 
travel to Malindi safely!I have done what you requested me to do 
, I have used all my means 
through my wife to borrow finance to and fro..[from the group money lenders in 
profit basis].We have decided with my wife, because we don't want to be blamed 
and yet i am a person who preaches to people about the goodness of being 
faithful,blameless,be debt free;that i sell my two cows and leave alone the 
children,and auctions my chairs in the house such that i can pay my 
promise..that whe i am back i must pay. Brother ,you did not tell me 
to keep receipts in advance!   (It's my fault!) 
 Brother you can assist me 
anything you are free to give such that i manage to clear my name from debtors 
file. While in malindi i used to be 
in Malindi Park Restaurant My file is still in there.Should you require to 
obtain the receipts from them ...grant my travel to and fro.Please don't 
hastate! The car i used to trave with 
they are in mobile,so i will go and demand that receipt. I only believed in God 
to do all the works. in faith i do all what i expects. My wife greets you most 
urgently. Thanks,and let me know what to 
do next? Joseph   11/03/2009 
  (Guilt trip) Father 
James, I learned that ''Let us our 
''YES''be ''YES'',and our ''NO''be ''NO''. Unbelievers goes along with 
seeing...Thomasin...show me lord your nails. Father James, do really 
believe that i reached Malindi?   (No) How do you expect i reached 
there? Where do you believe i 
slept? What do you believe i ate 
along those days? I don,t understand myself 
brother! When you send somebody ,do you 
expect him going?   (Not if the offer comes over the Internet by a Kenyan 
scammer) If he doesn,t go you feel very 
bad. Please James,do not let me 
reason without getting an answer. Will you kindly assist me to 
pay my debts? The owners are anxiously in 
need to get their money paid. Just as a human 
being,reason,if i were you, what did you  comment? Peaceful 
response! Joseph   11/03/2009 
  (A couple of problem arises for Joe) Dearest brother 
Joseph, I am sorry you did 
not keep receipts. The church cannot pay you without them. Maybe there is 
another way to satisfy the council. You see, I am new here at the church and am 
only 21 years old. If they find out that I authorized this deal without 
permission, I will be transferred back to the flushing cistern. Please what can 
I do brother without money? We really do need a church in Kenya and I thought I 
could do this with ease. Now it seems you will get me into deep 
poop. Father 
James 11/05/2009 
  (A rather receptive letter...and of course, the money 
issue) Dearest Father 
James, Just a young man of 21years 
old;this is your right time to work in the field of God.Remember how Jeremiah 
wanted to respond to the call of God,saying that he is young.Do you remember how 
God told him..in you  put my knowledge,go a head i will save you from your 
enemies! This is the time for you to 
come Kenya please.Do not ignore just as Jonnah Remember God Has assigned you 
to work in Kenya! did you? Prepare to come 
brother! Brother James,i realized to 
get some of the receipts in one of my pockets -except the returning one which i 
failed to get. Please!forward them to the 
council immediately.You can inform me any step that you have reached.Will you 
desire to change your destiny from Malindi to Kisii town? God bless you most 
aboundantly!   
                                                            
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                    | Herewith i have 
attached the receipts...please go ahead.  Joseph. |   
 |    11/06/2009 Dearest Father 
James, Thanks for being interested to 
open your church ministry here in Kenya.The answer brother is very 
simple! You can start from kisii,then 
you move forward to your desired destination Malindi. In case you will admires to 
stay in the ocean view you can choose Mombasa. If tourism site then select 
upland country Masai Mara.. Thank you. Joseph   11/06/2009 
 (Here we go with more problems, and an opportunity for Joe to 
exploit poor little "Father James") Dearest brother in 
Christ, I need to flee from 
here. Can you buy me a ticket? Father Flanagan is very upset. He hit me with a 
rod when he found out what I did and might call the police to have me put in 
jail. If I go to jail they will take my flog log away and I will be very, very 
sorry if they get their hands on it. There is also the problem with 14 year old 
girl. We are to be celibate and I preached to them that they are wrong, God 
knows I am right. I just don't know what to do??? Father 
James.   11/07/2009 
  (Encouragement and yes, the money!) Dearest Father 
James, I am very sorry for the 
matter! Are you playing jokes brother? 
 (ya think?) I believe you are telling the truth. 
  Brother would't you have 
married her? Will you hide your face from 
the angry face of Father Flanagan? Yes you can!(Yes you can. I 
heard that somewhere else before...)
 Deposit in 
express system the money via Wetern Union Money Transfer to me quickly ...i buy 
you a ticket.Send all the Names,Country of origin  and time 
to travel.Remember to be faster thn him   11/08/2009 
  (My protector? Demanding, and yes, the 
money!) Dearest Father 
James, You have told me the story 
which i dont't understand! Brother what do'u mean about 
Father Flanagan that he hit you with a rod?why all those to happen?Which deal 
was he not aware about?Does he not belong to the ministry? I believe that a true and 
saved christians don't play jokes!Can you give me the contacts of Father 
Flanagan tha i may stop him from hiting you with a rod?Brother,you can't be 
jailed where you have not messed;you are sure about the deal that you were not 
cheating,why do you get afraid? You have not responded to what 
i told you yesterday..that you send money via expres  systemWestern Union Money 
Transfer.Immediately i buys you a ticket. You are safe in 
Kenya. Please give an absolute 
answer! Joseph   (It's been 
four days now since I wrote and Joseph is getting 
nervous!) Tuesday 
11/10/2009 Dear Father 
James, Why so quiet for 
long? Have you forwarded the 
receipts to the church bord today on tuesday? Why haven't you responded on 
your jouney, you told you wants to flee from your place? Joseph   11/10/2009 Joseph, the board 
meets tonight and I will find out tomorrow what they said. May I ask you if you 
think the Lord will forgive me if I steal? What airport would be the one to fly 
to? Father 
James   Wed 11/11/2009 
  (No comment on what I wrote above. "...you think the Lord will 
forgive me if I steal?") Quoting me, 
Joseph cuts and pastes: "Dearest brother in 
Christ, I need to flee from here. Can you buy me a ticket? Father Flanagan is 
very upset. He hit me with a rod when he found out what I did and might call the 
police to have me put in jail. If I go to jail they will take my flog log away

problem with 14 year old girl. We are to be celibate and I preached to them that 
they are wrong, God knows I am right. I just don't know what to 
do???" Dear Father 
James, Are you not the one who wrote 
about the above issue? How was i to guess what i do 
not know? Brother,remember to say the 
truth and the truth will set us free! Joseph   11/11/2009 Ys that was 
me. James, PT-Editor 
 <<I made a mistake here. I wonder if 
he caught it!   11/12/2009 Dearest 
James, Thanks for your short letter! 
What can we do next to start your ministry here brother? Many of the believers whom i 
have told about your ministry are waiting to see you here witheager 
expectation. (I bet!)
 When should you come 
? Which solution do they come 
out with...church board council? Much greetings from the 
flock! Joseph   11/12/2009   (I try to make a 
deal with Joe) Hi 
Joseph, How can you help me 
you ask? Set my mind at ease here and prove your love of Christ. I asked you 
where the nearest airport was in your country. Somewhere you could pick me up 
and take me to start my church. You did not answer.  
                                                            
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                    | If you could pick 
me out a nice building anywhere and paint my new sign above the door I can take 
you serious. If you do I will write you a church letter every month for the 
flock, for one year. I have a file attached of the painting above the door I 
need. The council 
approved the money. They will send it if you give me a address to send it 
to. Father Flanagan 
says hi, but I don't trust him anymore thou. James (If old 
Joe wants to collect "his" money, let's see if he comes up with a real painting 
or a photo-shop version) |  In the properties summary I put in a bogus name
 |    11/13/2009 Dearest 
James, Greetings in Jesus 
name! I am very sorry to have given 
you my nearest airport where i could pick you from.Surely i thought as you told 
me earlier that i buys you a ticket...which i misinterprated that i was to use 
my money of which i don't. (Trust 
you?) Brother, my nearest airport 
where i can pick you from is..Kisumu Airport. I am working to talk to the 
house owners about the money.. and i start painting you the required 
names. Joseph ( Then he adds this 
onto the bottom of the e-mail ) Please you can use the 
following names to transfer my money to: which the council 
approved. Country..Kenya. WESTERN UNION MONEY 
TRANSFER. JOSEPH OGANGA 
ONTITA, P.O.BOX 
 XXXXX KISII.code40200. Kisii-Branch.   11/14/2009 
  (I create a problem here for Joe) Joseph, Father Flanagan 
said he will only send a check. Do I send it to the address? Do you have my 
painting done yet? Say hello to the 
brethren and give your wife a happy boner from me. I hope thing's are going 
good. I am so excited to be leaving here. Once you send me a picture of the 
painting I will book a flight to that airport. Maybe I should just bring the 
check with me when I fly? James   11/16/2009 
  (Joe stiffs me on the 
painting) 
                                                            Thank for your request whether i have painted 
the signs you only wants.Sincerely i have not done so..with reasons that i may 
not meet your requirememts.Kindly i requests you to make your journey to 
kenya;so that we can look the builiding that meets your 
requirements thati mighty not repeat like that of Malindi! 
                                                            Please come so that we can survey with you and 
decide while together. 
                                                            With no any of the conditons...send the check 
such that i may pay where i borrowed.The owners strictly demands their money 
paid back. 
                                                            My wife was so much pleased to appreciate you 
kind greetings. 11/17/2009   
                                                            You have already given me an option that  i 
pick for you a nice building anywhere and i paints with your new sign on top of 
the door.I t sometimes becomes difficult to choose the best that suits 
you. (ya 
think?) In my thinking we 
have resdential homes in kisii town.You book one month ealier before  you 
come.The management issues the receipts once you have paid the booking fee..the 
remaining you pays while here.My financial status is very very 
poor. 
                                                            Or else i finds anywhere even in reserve 
places? 
                                                            I am told that the nearest airport i have given 
you is under construction,You may now use  
                                                            Jomo kenyatta international

  (Hell no, I'm not going to let him off the hook so easy! Also with 
this letter, comes "new" problems) Yoe said> 
"I am working to talk to the house owners 
about the money.. and i start painting you the required names."
 So yo quit? I 
bought 2 tickets for december 5th. British Airlines. Any house will do for now. 
You know I must escape from Father Flanagan because of his behavior. My girl 
(that would be the non-existent 14 
year-old) and me had this planned to run away from here. If you want me after 
all this you must show honor to me as the Lord shows honor to those who honor 
Him. Why else would the Holy Spirit show me you are the way to saving many 
from the grasp of satan? (I come off as a 
easy mark here. Come on, take advantage of me Joe!) If you still want 
me there let me know or the girl and me will go elsewhere. If you want me I will 
bring the check and my money (money? 
hmmm!) also that we may live as I start my ministry. We also need a ride 
from the airport. Please tell me your word is good and you are not playing 
games. We seemed to get on the wrong foot after I told you about Father 
Flanagan.
 In the name of Jesus,
 James

my goodfellow!I have attached a picture card of my latest tour. This is a 
copy I made of the card I hand out when touring. I tried to find the brochure 
but Father Flanagan threw the extras out. I owe him a payback.

Christ, I have photo album 
attached of Clarice my girl. She is the cute one in pink on the left top 
picture! Isn't she cute? Clarice wants you to send a picture of you to us so 
that we know who to look for at the airport. She is not comfortable unless she 
knows who we are to look for. If she does not go I will be hesitant also because 
I love my little bubblegum! James

Joseph, I have one picture 
in my album of Clarice that copied well. This is my favorite picture! The file 
is small. This is the sign also attached we need to see. Do you think that you 
can paint this one on a sign? I think it might be a new church 
logo. Show me how it will 
look on pink paper. This will make Clarice happy and reassured. This is 
important. I got your picture. 
You look like a very nice man. Are you going to bring your wife Lucy to the 
airport? What does she look like? I have to go now.
