HOW I ROBBED RETARDED MAN

Mission's Convict stole clients money and identity to escape prosecution.

My names is James Bailey and I have just been arrested here in Merced, CA for failing to attend a sentencing hearing in Portland, Oregon. What great luck that I have been in the discipleship program at the Mission in Oregon for almost a year and that the current "house manager" fired to heavy drug use. I can't thank Tom and Letticia Miller of the Merced Rescue Mission for hiring me on the spot to be the new house manager of the shelter.

There must be a God because a retarded man named Tim Duarte was referred to the mission and has just asked me if I could hold his wallet, money, and identification for safe keeping. I was just too happy to have my new identity to hide from the law under and enough money to catch the first Greyhound out of town. I left in the middle of the night and have left Mr. and Ms. Miller to explain to Tim that he is now broke and without Id. To their credit the Millers initially called every shelter in a 5 state area asking other not to take me on staff under my old or new name after providing a report to Sheriff Deputies.

In August, 1998  Director Tom and Leticia Miller asked the person who questioned these matters locally to be denied services for life. My friends the Millers again demonstrate that lying about facts, denying the truth, and settling the score is an important part of what Jesus stands for. I'd like to discuss this further, but I have another "Christian"who needs someone to operate a shelter because he has no committment.
