Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

ME: Two things Sir. Number one, your breath stinks, and number two, I’m not an employee. You cannot fire a non-employee.
On Friday, at 5 PM, everyone was in the office, waiting. Meanwhile, one of the body guards had picked up the Church Secretary and took her to their “expensive, high end Winter home”. We all arrived at 3 PM (we had a meeting before Tom showed up). Apparently, there were issues up in Canada, and the meeting was post-poned until another date.

We were “instructed” by Tom Melnichuk - “No one goes inside of the Gym or the building. Period.” He was the only one who had the key. Tom did not like so many people having “keys”. Well the Senior Elder was correct. “How do you expect her to clean if she cannot have access?” (TRUE.)
Because one of the Elders, who has a family member, had “wired” the premises to record conversations between that Church Secretary (here) and Tom (up in Canada). When the linesman arrived, he almost couldn’t do it because the Church Secretary argued with him, and thankfully, I showed up. I told the Secretary that she couldn’t “bar” him or he will cut off the line, remember, you’re a Canadian, not an American and that would be the fastest way to be deported!
HIM: How long do you think it will take
Why does Islam give a bad vibe?
Then the “now terminated” Acting Senior Pastor then added more pressure on Tom, by stating: “Get my paycheck, and Sharon (me), pack my stuff, and since I’m fired, I’m outta here, once they give me my pay!” (he hands me his key to his apartment which is on the grounds.)
Once the meeting was over with, One of the Ushers restored the phone lines and I restored the Camera/Audio system with a delay timer, so there would be no one there when it restarted.

In turn, we were finding HER (Secretary) up there, with the gloves, removing whatever Tom instructed, and several additional instructions for her to turn it over to xxxx (a Body Guard) who would pick her up and take her to their residency (Winter Home) to place in the vault.
So that morning, I arrived and the Secretary told me to follow her, and she showed me the location, and yeah, I just need a spot remover, and told her how much it would cost, told her to give me $10.00 and I will get it and bring the receipt, I will need my steam cleaner because it was also on the floor (they didn’t notice that).”
It was after that event when everything spiraled downhill! They had a “play” of people who died and either went to heaven or hell, with all the special effects! (Drama) Tim was involved as much as Tom was, but not everything went perfect.
How do I deal with autistic burnout/meltdown/shutdown when cooking?
One of the Elder’s wives called and left a message on the answering machine, it turned out that one of the babies had either vomited or pooped on one of the pews, on the center left side (facing from stage). I told her I would bring my steam cleaner, and I would need a couple of chemicals, and she then said “I spoke with the Secretary, if you need to buy something, ask her and she will give you the money and turn the receipt and change to her.”
They had to be the MOST paranoid people ever! I mean, you know when some “minister” arrives with Armed and Black Belt Body Guards is going to be a massive major problem!
ELDER TWO: Did you use the (storage) closet at all?
On top of everything, she did have people go in and people go out during that week. The problem, she could not remember anyone going into the storage closet. However, there were a couple of new people in the church that were given key access (They were involved with the Children’s Church and Sunday School, they had classrooms). None of them were suspects, and in fact, this left a lot of people’s head scratching!
Tom then wanted the Cops to be called at once! He was going to issue a trespass warning, but Tim warned him, it could get him deported. They live here, and you do not! Tom was super pissed off, so Tim left.
Apparently, per Tom Melnichuk, ministers are not allowed to go to Sports bar or any type of Bars. And we’re not allowed to play “sports” or be involved with “sports”. Well, too bad! Tom found out I played Softball!
LEADERS: She’s absolutely right, you can fire the Pastor, but you cannot fire her. If you get rid of both of them. The church will no longer exist.
Tom was so angry he went right smack into my face and blowing his fuse. Then he said:
SECRETARY: Where’s the screw? How did the wires get dismantled?
Even to this day - no one knows what happened to the painting! A Police report was made, but it’s never resurfaced - ever again.)
(I then left.)
ME: Hear what? I did the carpets, the pews, the entire buildings and no one’s been there. The Secretary was out all night, she came back tipsy. I didn’t smell alcohol on her, but she went straight to bed and I finished the Chapel and went home.

SECRETARY: Gave me $200 cash and told me “keep the change”. Get all the stuff you need.
The Senior Pastor (acting and current - American) overheard the phone conversation by the church secretary and Tom Melnichuk. Tom was extremely angry that there were no reports on me! He actually FLEW down on an “emergency” call (so he could only be here for a few days and return back to Canada).
The emergency meeting with the entire church was called upon, the Secretary tried to stop it; but she had no power to do so. Even threats of calling the Police wouldn’t do her good, because she would be deported immediately!
(I later learned that they returned back to the church to report “They searched my place, and there’s no painting there.” However, they wanted to see the “before” photo shots (she has a digital camera) and they could see the Storage Closet was wide opened (yeah, I went to get the extension cords out of there), and there were NO PAINTING THERE!
Meanwhile, the Leaders and I in the rear foyer (towards the main gate) and were locking it up while Tom stormed off to the Church Office. Then the Criminal Lawyer arrived, and told us “We need to get out of this, because it was far worst than he imagine. The Melnichuks own the property, they hadn’t paid their taxes and are trying to claim “Tax Exemption - Religious”, which is not eligible for International individuals (Canadians are “international”).
The Secretary was not there, she had an appointment, so once the Power man was there - he saw my car, before I made the turn, he flipped the breaker off, I zoomed in, entered in, and got all the gold (a couple pieces were left behind) as I was on a timed bases. I had to get out of there within the next 3 minutes! I put my gloves on and went inside, went to the drawer.
When was you wife swapping fantasy started?
The Elders and the Financial Board-member were reporting that “money was missing”, large amount of money was disappearing, from the safe; they seem to be targeting the Senior Pastor and I (me). Not only was large amount of money disappearing, several other items of value also disappeared - GOLD!
Then Tom showed up, and the emergency meeting was ordered, he was disposing the Senior Pastor, accused him of being found in a bar (It’s a Sports Bar, just because you’re eating there does not make you an alcoholic) after playing a round of golf (So this proves to all of us, that we are all spied upon. I captured a few myself who was spying on me at my home and at the store several times).
I took me about a half hour to get the spot and stain out. Then the Secretary saw how wonderful it looked, and realized the entire pews and carpet needed steam cleaning, so she told me to “leave your steam machine here and let me talk with Pastor Tom, and how much would the cleaning stuff you need would cost? And how long would it take for me to do it?”
What does the Bible say about the Antichrist? How will we know when he arrives on the scene?
ME: I unscrewed a screw.
SECRETARY: She just removed a screw
He found out that there’s sufficient enough proof that there were tax invasions and money laundering. Since the US Dollar is worth more than the Canadian Dollar, he felt it was highly possible that they were taking the US Currency to exchange it for Canadian Currency and have money left over. They were getting 33 cents profit on the US Dollar, and adding up the thousands of dollars. That which was reported that those large sums of money that were “unaccounted for and disappeared” would be very beneficial for the Canadians.
THEM: Really? You stay here, do not go down to the church until we get back with you!
I said “Yes I did, see those two red wires? Yeah, the screw must had vibrated off and it’s probably down in the bottom somewhere. I am going to have to turn the power off and go back home to grab my lantern so I could see and remount this, as well as grabbing some screws in case if I can’t find it.”
Not sure what was going on, but Tom had enough, he was going to take over as the Senior Pastor and was going to fire the current acting Senior Pastor and basically get rid of everyone, starting with me.
ELDER: No, it probably will be fixed before then, it’s just her estimate, she needs to find the screw. (turns to me) Go home and grab some spare screws.
One of the body guards, he “resigned”, because he had a rapport with me, and realized the things I’ve been telling him was correct. While he was no longer a member of the Prayer Palace and since he was born in United States (he’s a dual citizen), he moved his family down here and were living in the area. He was more than cooperative.
SECRETARY: Well, Okay, you said 2 hours? If it’s not fixed by then, you’re fired!

I then told her, I have to head home, to change, get dressed and return back. I might be a little late since it’s almost 8 AM right now, but I will be here. Yes, I was late, insomuch the Senior Pastor, when he was reading the announcements saw me enter and stopped to say “Because of her, we have Air Conditioning in here! She had to come in the middle of the morning to repair it! Let’s give her a big hand!”
TIM: (slightly amused, smiled, but retained himself)
I put the panel on and screwed that on, and she watched me very closely. I noticed she was keeping an eye on that “video box recorder”, which I pretended not to notice. I also told her I am going to check the filters, I think you guys are going to need to buy 12 filters soon.
Tom was furious! However, he couldn’t get anything if he wanted to. He was upset because “we” locked his Secretary out! He was upset because she couldn’t place any calls! He was upset because all audio and video were cut off. He called it an “unauthorized church meeting”.
While it’s true, that the Prayer Palace, Paul and his wife came down to visit the church when the youths were here, their stay was cut short. You know there’s something wrong when you have kids (teenagers to children) literally picking up their pastor and carrying him around the church! They literally worshiped him! (To a degree was extreme cult behavior.)
Well, Tom had to put an end to that and they were all returned back home a few days early, and the children were lied to actually by Tom Melnichuk “You did you work well, and God was very proud of you, insomuch HE (GOD) had instructed me to return you back home sooner!”
At this point, everyone was fully aware of Tom’s anger and suspicions were towards me. He still felt I was the one who called the Sheriff’s office, but the Leadership verified, the call did not come from me at all, it came from someone outside of the church. They saw it and reported it. Tom couldn’t do anything about me, my position remained as is.
ME: Probably a couple of hours, I do have to go back home.
SECRETARY: I spoke with Tom, he wants a professional to do it

Pulled the extension cords out and got the steam cleaner, it was ready for the night long work.
The arrangements were set up, I was to go into the Office at xx:xx AM on xx/xx/xxxx. They will have a Power Linesman that will cut the utilities off (flipping the transformer). And I was instructed to go (they showed me the video) to that desk drawer and remove all the gold out of it and then, leave a note “You weren’t here, missed you, please call me.” (If the power went back on, if not, get out of there and head over to xxxx’s Office (business).
She was financially strapped but property rich! Her divorce was never finalized, due to the fact her husband (he left the area and went up north) sustained a cardiac arrest and was found deceased. She collected from the insurance policies and owned pretty much everything without having to go through a divorce. The children were well do. She was able to take over her late husband’s business (Jeweler).
She turned the light on up there, and yeah, a couple of them were dirty, there were two spares, the dirty ones were replaced, the other two can be replaced soon! She made mental note of that, then we went downstairs.
The Ushers were instructed to keep doors locked and that Secretary could not be involved with the meeting whatsoever. I was instructed to “unplug” the video and audio surveillance system (before anyone arrived), which I also disconnected the phone system - so his secretary couldn’t “Call Tom” to report! Report! Report!
Then the Secretary came to make an announcement that the Canadian Youths will be down here for one week for a “summer missionary” program. They flew the kids down here and made them stay in the Gymnasium. They put them to hard work in the classrooms, long hours, they were being yelled at, and basically, they had to ask for permission to go to the bathroom, they were not allowed to talk. (Illegal Child Labor.)
THEM: The painting!
ALSO ME: Ma’am, you have to realize these things do vibrate, it’s a simple thing, and I just need to find the screw but I also have to turn the power off so I can reconnect the wires. I do not desire to be electrocuted. If she so wanted, she could sit there and watch me, maybe you will learn??
He made an arrangement that we to return back to his residency within 2 weeks, he would document all his findings and report it to all of us.
This angered me, and I confronted Tom, with a warning, that they ALL could be deported and the Child Protection Agencies will be here so fast that he wouldn’t know what hit him! This put Tom in the hot seat. Not sure who did, but it wasn’t us, but a couple of Deputies showed up, per them, “they had reports of children marching in single file, and someone had observed them laboring hard labor.”
Everyone was fully checked through, and the ELDERS called Tom, which he blew up, and yelled at them - because he’s only seen the photo, and he didn’t have an interest of stealing a painting.
ME: Correct, this is the first time it’s ever been steam cleaned.
I arrived, and grabbed the box and locked the box and went upstairs. I heard someone coming up the steps and talking, I had already moved the panels (intentionally hiding their security box) and she saw me and ordered me to leave. I stood there confused, and he told her five times, “She does Air work.” Then he turned quickly and said “Did you find the problem?”
Then headed home and went to take about a 4 hour nap, woke up after noon. Then one of the Elders, he, his wife, and another Elder came to my residency. They were very alarmed. In fact, they told me I might go to jail.
It was after a Church Service, there was one woman that was undergoing a divorce (she and her children were victims of domestic abuse). Tom approaches her in the office and tells her flat out “The reason why she’s going through horrible times was because she hasn’t been paying her tithes and offerings! If she wanted GOD to move on behalf, she better pay up what she owes GOD by tonight!”
The Immigration Lawyer was also involved. What went on with the Elders and Financial Board members. The videos were still being reviewed and the Criminal Lawyer spied something. He had everyone to meet in his house ASAP! Urgent!
Now, when you have ministers that have body guards, and a church secretary that’s a spy. You KNOW they are doing something illegal or criminal and above all, they were Canadians.
She stood there against the wall (she’s somewhat fearful). I went down stairs to the breaker box, flipped the switch on, then flipped the lights on (so I could go to the A/C Panels to turn them on), flipped them on, and then went upstairs, she was backing up slowly (the intake of air was pulling because the panel wasn’t on).
Why does the Melnichuks give the order that no one can know where they live? (Winter Residency) In fact, apparently the Melnichuks aren’t the brightest candle in the world either! Even though they tried to “hide” (undisclosed) their personal residency from the records. They forgot one thing, you cannot hide it from the Government!
The Elder called me back, and I gave him the information, in fact, I am going to return this all back to her privately and tell her to sell it, because she needed the money for her and the children! He agreed, and said I am going to alert the others (leaders).
The elder phoned me and told me to “get my work clothes on and get down to the church ASAP”, so I did. He told me he was leaving a box behind the front bushes, and to go up there and double connect so the church would have all copies of the videos, and then “reconnect” the System when once completed.
After several months, everything was going well, and the skinny, Black Woman, was appointed by the Melnichuks to be the “church secretary”. (Really, she was their “gossip columnist” - she gave out reports of anything that runs around. She was actually appointed as a “spy”!)
One of the retired Minister and his wife, they were contacted by Paul Melnichuck (the father), they needed leadership at the church; he accepted the “position” (no pay, 100% volunteer) - he went around contacting others and he phoned us. But after I heard him on the phone, I instantly knew “NO!”. I told him “No thank you!” and hung up.
They were already together but they needed one more minister, plus they knew I had all connections with the Federal Government, Agencies, etc - I had just been retired. Well, they appointed an Evangelist to “act as the Pastor” for a short time. From what we were told, “Tom is going to be the Senior Pastor.”
The Melnichuk Family - Canadians, Paul’s twin sons, Tom and Tim, while Tim remained in the shadows, it was primarily Tom Melnichuk.
ME: Why? It’s fixed! All done! (holding lantern so she could see it was all connected)
We found out where they resided! And it was a several million dollar home with heavy security! They had security like never before!
ME: What painting?
ME: Absolutely! Like nothing happened! I will be right back, I’ll tell you what, I am going to put the panel on after I turn the power on and flip it on so you can see for yourself!
Signed it.
THEM: There’s none in that area, and the phone call, the Secretary called us first then called Tom afterwards. She says you were the last person in the building.
The Senior Elder stood behind the Pulpit and told everyone what was going on, that we had all evidence, audio, video, documentations, and even making mention of painting that had literally vanished. He also made a comment in regards to an “undisclosed congregation” member that was threatened and that person had given nearly a million dollars in gold which was “disregarded and tossed into the drawer.”
Then one day, a Business Owner, He deals with Arts (particularly paintings) and Frames. He’s been around for years. He brought a painting done by a local artist, a portrait of Jesus, really well done, in fact, I could be wrong, but he was considering selling “signed prints”. That painting was the original!
I went to the Office and his secretary handed me the scale, then returned back home.
I returned back up there and shut the entire Church (building, not the entire property) completely off, and grabbed my lantern and went up stairs to the Air Conditioning System, and then began looking at their video box, there was an outlet for the adapter (expansion). So I connected that and ran the wires alongside and found a “gap in the wall” which allowed me to pull the cord to the other side, ran that wiring over to the last Air System where there was a ledge. Thankfully, a three prong outlet (damaged but still safe to use) was there too. I had it all set up and done.
FOLKS, Did I need to shut down the entire church’s power? NO, but I had to because of the system they had installed, to be able to connect the Church’s device at another location. You see, I had the screw on me, it never left me. Now I have 2 screws on me, was waiting for her to return back to her office. She “thought” she saw me leave (Yeah, I just moved the car, that’s all.)
That night, she delivered piles of gold - charms, they all had value - 14k and 18k. Piles of them! She had no cash and she gave Tom the gold. **** hang on to this one, it’s coming up *** And Tom just handed it over to the Secretary.
TOM: ________ (!!!!)________
It only took about a week for the church to be relocated. At that time, I purchased a property that would put us far away. I told all of them that I would no longer be around, due to distance and being relocated to another Church that needed my assistance.
So the Elders made the final decision, called everyone to report “The building is closed. And do not go to the building anymore, because there’s no pastor, there’s no leadership, there’s no one. They would touch bases with us at a new location. They were all informed that the Senior Acting pastor was terminated by Tom all because he “ate” at a sports bar (The Drunken Clam if anyone wants to know, I’ve eaten there, tons of folks have eaten there).
I told her the stuff used to clean it all would run about $100 to $150 dollars, I would focus on the heavy traffic area first, because I might have to go over it again. I would need 3 gallons of xxx cleaner, 1 gallon of that cleaner, and if they wanted the church to smell really good, I can get a bottle sprayer with Baby Oil and your choice of “Roses, Ocean Mist, or Woods” oil, which I pour it in the spray bottle, you can walk around and spray on the carpet where no traffic, such as under the pew, under your desk, and so on, where no one can step on it. The smell will last for several months! Be please do be careful, it’s very pungent and strong, a little bit goes a long ways.”
I wasn’t expecting this much gold! In fact, I had to stuff my pockets, piled them on a handkerchief, and got out of there - fast, as soon as I made the turn and was at the intersection, he put the power back on. I drove off to xxx’s business and found out that “he and his wife had an emergency, they had to go out of town and won’t be back until xx/xx/xxxx.”
Well, those on the board and leadership, I knew each and every one of them. In fact, they had me to “be the janitor/cleaning person”. To the fact, that Prayer Palace brought a huge church and the Gymnasium that was behind it.
I cracked up!
When I returned that night, she was going out and told me “Pastor Tom wants you to do the pews too. I took photos of before, and once you’re done and it’s all dry, will snap photos of after.”
Well, my husband was not a part of the leadership (due to his job, he couldn’t be at church all the time which was a mandatory - all leaderships must attend all services). He and his wife relayed the message, and the acting Senior Pastor was with them, he told me upfront that “they must had found out who I was, because Tom was in the position to get rid of me.” I just laughed and said “Let him try!”
Now, you know when paranoid goes to the umpteenth degree when they order “complete background searches” on every single church congregation member. However, the background research on my end was “locked out” (That’s because I have high-end Federal and Military protection! You would need a Federal Judge or someone of high end to gain access.)
The Church Secretary was not supposed to even have access to where the safe was, but she was and reported that “money was stolen”. She was accusing “Senior Pastor or Sharon (me)” of stealing it. Tom wanted to make sure that we did not have access to that room. (We didn’t, we don’t have the key access or worst, the combination.)
Did everyone know they were all armed? Yes, I mean, I am not a dummy. I am trained for this. Well, one went off to have a talk with “Melnichuk” (not sure which one) over the phone. Now that made the entire situation “hairy”, they were fearful NOW (more paranoid than ever before) that there’s a “COP” involved. Both of them parked their weapons (out of fear that someone there is a “Fed or Detective or some type of Agent”).
THEM: You know, the painting of Jesus?
I did, “Missing Screw, located Screw, reattached and secured. Checked Air Filters, was only able to replace 2, other 2 will be needing to replace soon. The Blower system has a lifespan of another estimated 7 years of life left before consideration of degeneration and the need for a upgraded and new units.”
ME: Come here, [I flipped the other one one (there’s several of them) and the thing rumbled. (She got scared.) and I turned it off.
He had his two body guards there, plus his brother, Tim in the rear. (Tim was a bit concerned, you could tell he wasn’t fully informed or had any knowledge of what was going on either.) He then fired the Senior Acting pastor, but the leadership stood firm. Tom was off his rocker! Blowing a fuse, and I found it to be rather amusing! This is not how a church leadership works or functions; an occult or cult, yes, but not a church! Things are done in with accountability and in order.
THEM: No, he came by to pick it up!
*** Total amount of gold in December of 1995 - $384.10 per ounce, which the melted value was a mind boggling shy of 1 million dollars (US Dollars)! If they were sold individually, the price ranged from $375.00 to $1,240.00 a piece, and the street value exceeded 1 million dollars.
She instructed me to follow her to the office and she phoned Tom and told him “It’s fixed! They were right, Sharon fixed it, we are going to need to buy more air filters though.” Tom wanted me to document it and in a bill form. He wanted warranty for it.
The two Senior Elders, then asked for everyone to turn their keys over to them, they were going to drop them off at the Church Office. However, they decided they were going to remove the money out of the safe upstairs, with the two Ushers present. The Usher flipped the main breaker, they all drove up and entered into the room where the safe was, when they arrived, they found the safe wide opened, however, the money bags were placed on the side (they have the keys to unlock), and they checked it - found checks (those were all returned to the person who wrote it) and the cash money, they took. Using it for a deposit at a new location.
In that staff meeting before Tom showed up, the church was about to kick Prayer Palace’s “Outreach Ministries” out of the church. The phone conversations were heard over the phone. Everyone was listening carefully, and it has a “Time Stamp”.
I then proceeded to connect the wires together, apparently the Secretary returned when I screwed the last screw in and was about to replace the panel when she showed up.
Tom was in such a rage that he ordered the entire premises to be under Surveillance Cameras, he was so positively sure that it was ME and the Senior Pastor! That messages were recorded and documented, we had appointed a former Clerk Reporter, she documented everything in minutes and filed it accordingly. We had more than ample proof that there was something very fishy going on with the Melnichuks and their personnel.
Tom ordered all leadership meeting, effective at 5 PM at the xxxx (location of the church), while he couldn’t get us (our answering machine was broken but I could see he phoned via Caller ID), so he phoned the retired Minister, an Elder, for him to go down to our home and inform us.
ME: Where did you put it?
Two weeks before the final closure. Apparently Tom Melnichuk was in a panic, he flew down here on an Emergency Call. He was terminating the Acting Senior Pastor and he was going to can me. (Based upon what? There’s no evidence or proof.)
SECRETARY: Will it work?
This way, when she calls one of the two (Elders), they could tell her they will call me, because I could possibility save the church thousands of dollars and repair it, she will document it! She did, she called around 4 AM, Sunday morning.
THEM: You didn’t hear?
ME: For what?
ME: Only for the extension cords. But I am telling you, the secretary was there, and there were no painting there at all, why not ASK HER? She took photos of before, and she’s supposed to take photos of after!
SECRETARY: No they don’t.
The Phone conversation aligned with the security camera system - she was a spy, an informant. That was the beginning of all systems being documented and recorded.
The Elder reported that the connection (Wireless) was secured, that their office was able to read what is being recorded, and he stated, after “she left” (me) the secretary was up there, wearing gloves, at the safe, opening it, and was on the phone (there’s a phone up there) and confirm that it was “empty” and through the system, we could see where she hid her pair of gloves.
The Board Leadership, Lawyers (Criminal and Immigration) and the former Body Guard. He assisted them greatly.
It is up to the church to vote, if they wanted to keep the Senior Pastor, they can vote. The church can legally break all ties with the Canadians and Melnichuks if they so desired.
(WOW! That was cold! He had this woman left in tears! And went so far to tell her “She was sinning!”)
I guess one of the Elders realized I was supposed to stop by his house, called me at my house and asked me about the gold? If I got it? I said I did. If he wanted me to, I can sort them out, as I glanced at them, they were all 14 and 18 karat gold, all yellow gold. I will document it and weigh it per the gold melted value and the individual value. He wanted me to document each one of them, and told me to swing by his office, and he will have his secretary grab his scale. (He’s a gold, platinum, silver investor, and he buys this stuff all the time.)
In one rare event, two of the body guards arrived early. I took my position and walked up to them and told both men - “Are you aware that you will go to jail, and deported, for having concealed firearms?” Here’s where it gets “sticky”.
Then after church, I wasn’t feeling well, they wanted my husband (who was there) and son to join with them at a Restaurant. I declined, I wasn’t feeling well, and my husband, he had to go to work in a couple of hours. What we did was “make it quick and short”.
So basically Tom was stealing money and accusing US? All of us had an emergency meeting at a location (away from the church) in a private facility. We made sure there were no body guards or any of their spies around. The meeting was short and brief, we were to remain on high alert at all times. It’s apparent that there’s criminality involved.
ELDER ONE: Yeah, she’s right.
Since the entire Premises now has Cameras/Audio - they (Melnichuks) weren’t aware that phone lines were being recorded and we could see everything on our end.
Since it wasn’t “cash” (but gold is still valuable) the Secretary put it in the drawer. It remained in that drawer and she was never seen removing it. It wasn’t just a few pieces, it was piles of it, in fact, she had them all bundled up in a velvet cloth.
Everyone there told Tom and his twin brother, Tim, (who was in the area for a brief time) that my reputation and integrity was the best of the best. Gave them names of churches that I had worked for. (Now the differences here was, the previous, I was a paid employee, at that particular church, they wanted it all for “free”.)
Then the Acting Senior Pastor was gone, (yes, he can still touch bases with us, because he has all of our numbers and information). Well, Tom then demanded me to turn the keys over. So I then said “Oh you want it? You go get it yourself.”
ME: These things vibrate you know!
THEM: It was put in the Storage closet.
He arrived suddenly, where all the Leaders had to show up including myself. Right there in the interior court yard, Tom was yelling and ordering the Senior Pastor to pack up, and he wasn’t going to have any drunkard being a pastor! (He didn’t drink, that sports bar is a very popular eating place. There’s no where in the Bible that says “You cannot eat at a sports bar.”)
BODY GUARDS: (acknowledging that I was correct).
:::: Face Palm ::::
No, it’s authorized!
She returned back into her Office (she has a bedroom in the office - on the north side), she basically lives there.
TOM: ________(angry)________
The place I needed to go was just down the road, the great news was they had Baby Powder Oil, so I grabbed another bottle just for the Nursery. They were out of Roses, out of Ocean Scent, and Out of Woods, but I spied the Spring Scent - and it was extremely nice! Crisp and fresh. Grabbed everything and paid and had $75.00 left over. Returned back to the Office and left the receipt on her desk. Left a note with a hand-drawn map, with circles “DO NOT GO HERE - I’ve treated it, and letting it soak.”
She then said “Do my room first!” And she wanted the Rose scent. While she walked across the street to Burger King to eat her lunch, I did her bedroom. When she returned, I handed her a tiny spray bottle (3 oz) and she just literally breathed the roses! It smelled so good and the carpet was so clean that she said “I don’t think the carpets anywhere had been steam cleaned.”
ME: Oh? That which was on the display in the rear, that wasn’t there. I have no idea where it went. Why, Did (name) pick it up?
I then asked “What about the Body Guards, would Tom have one or both pick it up and hide it at their home?” They checked and they also learned the Body Guards did not have possession of the keys to the facility, only to Melnichuk’s residency. The Secretary gives them access.
SECRETARY: Let me call Tom, you can do this chapel here too, and the Nursery, the stairs, the entire building. How long will that take?
I then saw her, and told her, was very upfront and honest, and returned her the gold. She thanked me sorely! She just knew that Pastor Tom was wrong, but he had low-balled. Then stopped, and said “How did you know about this?” I then quickly responded “The Lord works in mysterious ways. Now go and sell some of this and use it!” The 3 elders were also there and they nodded their heads, she was so relieved!
ME: Well, if I do this all night when the cold weather and dry air is out, is best! I could come in around 7 PM, since my son will be gone for 3 days, going camping out with his friends. If I pull an all night event, the church would be complete before sunrise. This chapel and the Nursery/Children’s location can be done the next night.
What Tom didn’t realize was, “We are not dummies”! Since I am a technology expert, and to the fact, I was there in the building when they installed it. The technicians thought I was the Secretary and informed me where the location and recordings were (showing me). I thanked them for that. telling them not to tell the Secretary that I was there, since I’m the janitor, at least when I clean the Air Filters up here; I won’t call the Cops to report that there’s a bomb (!!) and told them to follow me, and took them over to the Church Secretary and merely said “The boys are finished.” She then, “ordered” me to leave the room. (She was very snappy with a bad attitude) I told her I am returning to finish cleaning the interior and heading home.
Then it came to this particular thing that was hovering around for several years:
Tim and his wife, on the other hand, weren’t around much, Tim was far more reasonable to be around with while his older brother, Tom, was bull-headed. They were polar opposites!
TOM:“You’re fired so what do you have to say about this?”
So I went home, and locked it all in my vault which was stored in a very safe place. I waited for my son to come home from school, and once he did, I went to that Criminal Lawyer’s Office, but his wife told me he’s out of the area. I told her, never mind. I will deal with it.
He didn’t have much stuff, so it was pretty easy to pack everything, a couple of wives assisted, and then the suitcases were out by the door. The Secretary handed him the cash (not a check, but cash) and he was shorted out. He demanded the other $100. The Elder ordered it. Well Tom refused, so the other elder went to the safe and gave him the money (he told us later, he gave him $1000 in cash, not $100).
As for the Melnichuks, they had to sell the property. It was vacate for a long time before it was purchased. It has been torn down and a Convenience Store and Gas Station is there.
That.Tripped.Tom.Off.To.The.T!
Right there Tom ordered the camera surveillance crew to install cameras at that location including those entering or exiting. He had also ordered a table to be set there (cannot move it) so he could observe the money being counted.
I threw the keys up on the roof!
She got scared, and phoned Tom, told him about it, and he “somewhat” yelled at her and told him to “let him work on the line, if he said they had detected a problem.” He did a great job doing that, why? Because for awhile, the lines were not connected very well. After he did the repair, she made a call and she was shocked, it was crisp and clear as a whistle! She got pretty excited and phoned Tom. Well, Tom was glad to know the connection was exceptional.
Not only was I able to finish off the huge church, the pews, the stage, the choir, the stairs, and the Nursery and Children’s church rooms, I was then working on the Chapel when she showed up around 5 AM. She appeared to be very tipsy (drinking? Hard to say.) which I assisted her to her bedroom and she shut the door and I guess went to sleep. I finished the Chapel.
Where I said “So basically squeezing a dollar bill and dimes will fall out?” He responded: “Exactly!”
I returned home and phoned the board leaders to alert them of the cameras installed and where the recording was stored, however, they could not say anything. They knew I knew technology, what they wanted me to do was “screw up” one of the blowers (simple, I disconnected it) so that when she turns it on, it won’t run. (She’s the one that turns the Air System in the church before service and at the end of the service.)
The congregation members of 233 people relocated to that area, and grew, eventually they brought a property further south and grew to well over 1,000+ members strong. The Original Pastor retired, and the new and younger pastor took over the pastorate. Several of the original leaders (Elders) had passed away as well as a couple of other Leadership (ushers, board, financial director) had declined in health or passed away.
The Board contacted me and the Senior Pastor, had us to meet at another location (at a house, on the beach of specific congregation member who’s also a Criminal Lawyer). He then took possession of the evidence (copies), and stated that he was going to have to touch bases with the Immigration Lawyer because they were all Canadians, and not Americans.
ME: But was the painting there before then? You know, it’s been at the church for what? A week now?
I just waved to everyone and went to my usual seating spot, shaking my head, where the Senior Acting pastor was throwing pot-shots!
I am sorry, but Tim laughed. He thought it was funny! But Tom glared at him, Tim just walked off. The Body Guards also laughed, and Tom glared at them. They both bit their lips and were “snickering”, as for the Leaders there - they laughed too!
The last I knew it was displayed on the stand in the rear of the Church, since I had to leave early (husband was coming home from work and I needed to start dinner). I have NO IDEA where they put it or where it was.
ME: Yes I did, I need to find the matching screw to connect the wires, no worries, it will be back up and running!
ME: I assure you it’s not in there, because I went in there to get the extension cords to use it. There were no painting in there whatsoever! What does the audio and video show?
He was so alarmed that he had piles of dockets (from the law books) that would show that they would be possibility being held as “accomplices”, because THEY were involved with financial matters. And in addition, there was strong evidence of money laundering.
