SLAVE OWNERS, RACISTS, AND THE DEVIL
11-10-08
In the 4 minute audio clip which follows, LISTEN AS MARK DUKE CALLS VARIOUS PEOPLE IN SELMA SLAVE OWNERS, RACISTS, AND THE DEVIL. This excerpt is from a message he preached on January 28, 2007, in which he talks about acquiring the Teppers Building from Hank and Rose Sanders and buying the home on Tremont Street from Jay Minter.
Duke calls the way the Minters treated their "house maid" Annie, "nothing but slavery". This despite the fact that the Minters were paying her $300.00 A WEEK, which later in the audio, Duke says he will be paying her the same amount as his domestic helper. We think $300.00 a week is quite a good salary for the Minters to having been paying Annie.
After Annie quit working for Jay and his wife and went to work for Mark Duke, Duke says the grandmother (Jay's wife's mother, we suppose) called over and asked Annie why she quit. Of the grandmother, Duke says that she is the "RACISTS OF THEM ALL". Duke misspeaks when he says Annie is the "ancestor" of slaves. We believe he meant she is the "descendent" of slaves, but he offers no proof of that.
Duke also mentions getting the Teppers Building from Hank and Rose Sanders and says that Joanne Bland is going to quit her job BECAUSE SHE WORKS FOR THE DEVIL (Rose Sanders). We wonder what Hank and Rose think of Mark Duke in light of that characterization.
Finally, Duke mentions the great relationship between Shawn and Annie. Shawn Samuelson is his "spiritual wife" and head of the Freedom Foundation. We do not know what "spiritual wives" do although we do know Shawn lives with Mark and his legal wife, Becky, in the former Minter house on Tremont.
We have it on good authority that Shawn Samuelson was once married to Rob Durham, who divorced her after being told to do so by Mark Duke. Duke then told Rob to marry Jill Johnson of the House of God church because their marriage was "ordained by God". Duke then told Rob Durham to take as his married name Jill's last name, Johnson, so he became Rob Durham-Johnson. Their marriage did not last either, one of at least 8 divorces and annulments we can document among Duke's followers.
Listen to the 4 minute audio clip. If the people of Selma do not know that there is a dangerous cancer spreading in our city, they are as dumb as Duke thinks, and not as wise as we think the citizens of Selma are.
