Hello all,
First of all let me say how sorry I am that I am not a blogger. I've never blogged, so am not sure how to respond to just one's comment. When I replied initially on the front page I didn't see a link to "join". I only saw a reply.
I came here to talk about Daystar, and since I worked there and practically lived there for a year, there were some questions and statements about Daystar that I felt I could help you all to understand a few things.
As to the question about the Dodge 440 chassis and the weight of Daystar my husband told me last night and I will post here as a little tidbit for you all. My husband worked in the shipping/receiving and also in the assembly of the DayStar. He said this about the chassis, "No, a diesel pusher would have suited the weight better, but the dome allowed for the engine upfront to cool more efficiently."
Also, at the end of Daystar before it bellied up there were talks of converting the Daystar to be a mobile, first responder's type of vehicle. They were trying to attach "emergency police type" flashing lights on the dome area, and had plans drawn up to redesign the back end where a table could roll out for emergency surgeries. So, the DayStar was NOT a scam, but a bonafide company.
For more information about Daystar go to this link, and I think it would be very helpful to you all. Also at this link there is other useful information concerning the Harvest House suit, etc.

Thank you Terry for your post and see what happened? Ohio person took me into that "fellowship" room and preceded to berate me. Now I can see why current LC members won't come here to "fellowship" or dialogue anything of their positive experiences.
Again, I can only share from my experience. I don't share "he said, she said, coulda, shoulda, woulda". I only share from my first hand experience.
Ohio ... that John Ingalls, Bill Mallon, Al Knock, Ken Unger, Godfred mess wasn't because of Philip Lee. It was because they wanted autonomy in the churches. They wanted to govern areas in the country and wanted "their" church to be autonomous, meaning feel free to introduce other teachings and literature into the meetings. Brother Lee gave a strong word about that, I was in that meeting also. You are so angry and bitter and your rancor continually spews forth your hatred of anything LC. I actually feel sorry for you. Build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!
And don't even get me going about my experience with Max Rappoport. I remember sitting in a circle when the young people went to San Diego and each one of us "had" to pray and he would confirm whether we were in the spirit or not. Disgusting. Did he even know his human spirit? He told us that his desire was that he would put Brother Lee in a room with a video cam on him all day so Brother Lee could give messages to his heart's content, while Max "ran" the recovery. I heard this with my own ears.
Again, I didn't come on here to fight, do battle with anyone. I was saved 1972 at Eldon Hall, married 1974 and we moved to Anaheim until 1978 when we moved to Costa Mesa. How come no one told us that it was a Max outpost? Yes, I was naive back then. I loved our time in Costa Mesa ... we were small, about 25 and grew to 50 in one year. Why we ever consolidated with Huntington Beach, I will never know. I loved the small gatherings where you can actually get to know each other and bear one another's burdens and pray together. Even today all those dear sisters in that short period of time, when we see each other it's like no time has passed. I got tired a long time ago of one brother sharing the message and then confirming that message with the same 16 that share every time. That doesn't "build" the church.
We moved in 1984 from HB to Houston. Has there been ups and downs in my life ... absolutely. But, now I am happy as a clam meeting from house to house,
nourishing and cherishing and letting the Lord do whatever He wants, to get His purpose and His Will.
I won't be posting anymore on this blog, it's wayyyyyy too toxic for this little sister to take. But I will leave you with my prayer. "O Lord, come in to all who read this. Shine your light and expose all that needs to be exposed. Lord, sweep in all our hearts that You may gain our whole being - spirit, soul and body. We want to share You, live You, manifest You and express You to all we come into contact with. Transform us until You do all the speaking through us. Amen."
Anyone on here that genuinely wants to fellowship their Christ with me, that we can nourish and cherish each other in Him, I am open for that kind of fellowship. My email is

I refuse to bring out from under His blood what was cleansed and forgiven long ago. I hope you can all experience this too. The cross will deal with all that the natural man does. This ministry has enlightened and fed me for 43 years and I will continue as the Lord so leads.
