Family is a dying platform. If we don't keep what family values are left in today's world intact; our society will continue to rot. Children need the nurturing of loved ones not the forced bandaid of separation. Being taken from true family sites the child that they do not matter. This alone will cause them more trauma that will continue on to future generations.
Sean supported: Stop the Forcible Separation of US Families in PovertyInitially I was afraid to speak out because I bought into the lies of believing that I would be punished by God for speaking out or for leaving the church. I realized I was ignorant. I now have the boldness to speak out against my experience at GRA. I left this cult a year ago but it wasn’t easy. I believe I have the gift of discernment the only problem is I second guess the voice of God and I allow Satan to talk me out of what I know to be true. I am a college graduate but a year ago I was a young impressionable student that was a member of this church. Many prophetic performances, manipulation of scripture with heavy focus on obeying your “spiritual parents”. The false prophet of this cult uses scripture out of context. He takes part of the scripture to manipulate and control his followers without reading the rest of the passage to highlight apostle Paul’s intended message. The thing is he does preach about holiness and sin but the problem is that’s used as bait because then you will overlook the rest of what he says/ does. I remember my first encounter with the wife. She was very rude! My spirit felt off the first time meeting her, which is very telling because I’m normally someone who gives people the benefit of the doubt. Especially if I don’t know the person I never assume the worst. I’m naturally a very trusting and open minded person. Before I even had a conversation with her she was on the pulpit giving advice to another married woman in the congregation on marriage and raising children. I don’t remember specifically what she said but I remember a voice telling me ,”she’s lying.” After that I felt uneasy about her and didn’t buy what she was selling. This event was a women’s conference, so after it ended everyone had the opportunity to take a picture with her. I remember me and another young lady whom I was friends with at the time , we waited in line to take a photo with her and she was very rude to her staff. She rushed the process and seemed as if she had “more important things to do” rather than tending to God’s people. This amongst many other things that I will momentarily list later was a complete turn off. Before I write my list of red flags I noticed from this cult I wanted to make aware that the final straw for me , the decision that made me leave indefinitely was a prophecy that the leader gave to me that was not only humiliating but misguided and I’m sure it was a demonic spell that could have been casted. He did an altar call and I happened to be one of the ones in the front row. He looked at me and said ,” if I didn’t start coming to church more than I would be a single mother with twins out of wedlock in the next 5 years.” This broke my heart because I was genuinely seeking God. I went against my family and God telling me that something was off about the church. A college student juggling school, work ; family and going to church 3-4 days a week from 7pm to sometimes 3 or 4 in the morning. I was doing the best I could at the time to attend every church service while also genuinely striving to live holy. I wasn’t thinking about sex. I wasn’t even dating anyone. I had been abstinent for the past 2 years! I had recently gotten out of a demonic relationship 2 years prior to even joining this cult so I devoted my time to developing my relationship with the Lord. It was humiliating because this was not something I was in danger in if I wasn’t actively participating or thinking about it at this time. He gave this prophecy in front of everyone and I remember leaving and going to my car to burst in tears. I never set foot in GRA again.

My sister had been part of this CULT for 4 years & counting. I visited this church a handful of times, all this pastor talks about is sex and money. I remember the day he explicitly talked about ripping a woman’s breast out of her shirt. Mind you this man is a pastor. Talking to the public, a church, full of youth & naïve children.
I have personally requested to meet
this man twice & both request were declined. I know of one other parent who has done the same on multiple occasions, and she was also declined. This man was ran out of Texas, correct me if I’m wrong. And now he’s in my state, Baltimore, Maryland located in Howard County, Columbia.

Like I mentioned before, I’ve been to this church on multiple occasions. I study con artist, psychopaths, manipulation tacits ETC. I can tell you now, these kids are brainwashed. I live with one of these cult members. This woman is my blood sister.
The deeper she has gotten into church, the further she’s has gotten from her family. She lies, steals, and sells us out for her pastor. In her own words, her “spiritual Daddy and Mommy”. She has taken thousands of dollars from her family and given it to the church. She has disobeyed her parents on multiple occasions, and left the country. She comes to no family events. She doesn’t answer her phone, she is completely useless.
The men and women of this church are willing to do whatever this man says. I have spoken out against them, I can see it in their eyes. They are ready to go to war…
I am not religious, but God says, call no man on this earth your father. Why does this man of God have a bunch of young women and young men calling him daddy? My sister has came to her parents home homec and told us she has another family and a spiritual mommy and daddy. To her own parents faces, on multiple occasions.
I have kept my mouth closed for 4 years. I will no longer live in a lie. I will no longer bow down to evil. I will no longer walk this world blindy. I will find the truth. I will do whatever it takes.
My name & house is already exposed to this man through my sister. I have nowhere to hide!

Aladdin supported: Stop Akintayo Brown from Money Laundering, Racketeering, & Murder!The people who go to this church are very deceived. I haven’t been to this church for a few years but as a prophet, during my time there, I will tell you it’s cultish. Spiritual parents nonsense. The pastor makes members put him over their blood parents. A lot of the prayers and rituals/bring something for him to bless or pray over seem demonic and unbiblical. He is an expert at cherry picking scripture and twisting it to fit his agenda. We are saved by faith and the grace of the lord, says that in scriptures. Yet memebers want to be there everyday and not think of other areas in their life. Arranged marriages and after baptism he gives you a new name which is nonsense. Pool baptisms are unbiblical, it’s by natural flowing water. I know an ordained Apostle who told me that he used to pray and destroy demonic items that they had at the altars. They will then relocate the items. He left that church like 5 years ago before he was ordained. Leave this church immediately. You have a duty to not suooort false prophets and demonic churches. He’s leading so many souls to hell. He has church police, they will chase you down to attend service and to also pay tithes.
Palle supported: Stop Akintayo Brown from Money Laundering, Racketeering, & Murder!used to visit this church occasionally because a family friend invited me. After my first visit, I was bombarded with calls and messages pressuring me to return—even during work, class, and late at night. It felt like harassment.
I already have a home church, so the persistence was unsettling. Multiple people kept reaching out, not just one. When I finally attended again, the pastor claimed God told him his son should marry a woman in the church. That was bizarre enough, but then I noticed college students calling him “Daddy Tayo”—something they were actively encouraged to do.
The church gave off serious cult vibes. Members were taught to prioritize church relationships over their own families. Even more alarming, they had 18- to 22-year-old students acting as security guards for the pastor instead of trained adults. Imagine parents finding out their child was injured protecting a grown man when they were only sent to school to get a degree.
Something is definitely off here. Someone needs to look into this.
Unmerited supported: Stop Akintayo Brown from Money Laundering, Racketeering, & Murder!Emily Hollis is a close friend of mine and it truly enraged me to find out that they labeled her, a minor, as a runaway when they knew she was with an older guy. I don't want any parents, friends, or families of other children to have to deal with cases being dismissed as "runaways"
Alexis supported: Replace the word 'Runaway' with 'Missing' and/or ‘Endangered Youth’I have worked in the trucking industry for almost 25 years. While the industry is in critical need of safe parking for drivers delivering all the things we consume every single day, this Frenchtown exit is not the place. In addition to the many valid issues mentioned, a truck stop of this size would put so much strain on our small community. Safety and infrastructure (water, sewer, roads, garbage that doesn’t always make it into dumpsters, etc.) are just the start. The congestion and awkward intersection would be an almost immediate turnoff to most drivers and poses a huge safety risk to motorists and pedestrians. While I have the utmost respect for drivers, there are so many that do not play by the rules under a system that is horribly broken that any benefit this project would bring would be overshadowed by the downfall of issues it would bring. Town Pump is no doubt a good neighbor in the many communities it operates, the same cannot be universally said for all that frequent its locations. With proximity to schools and few amenities to tide over a DOT break or more, I oppose this project in this location.
Jennifer supported: Stop the Town Pump Travel Plaza/Truck stop in Frenchtown, MTLetter to Missoula County Commissioners
Subject: Strong Opposition to Proposed Truck Stop in Frenchtown, MT
Dear Missoula County Commissioners,
I strongly oppose the proposed truck stop development in Frenchtown. This is a horrible ideaone that
threatens the safety, values, and rural character of our community. Frenchtown is where we raise families,
enjoy peace, and cherish a slower way of life. A large truck stop risks destroying that.
I speak from experience. Having worked at truck stops for years, I witnessed a daily mix of drugs, violence,
prostitution, and theft. These arent anomaliesthey become criminal hubs, placing our neighborhoods and
especially schools at risk.
Criminal & Social Impacts:
- Harassment & Crime: A 2022 FMCSA survey found that 2330% of truckers reported harassment at truck
stopsverbal threats, physical assault, sexual misconductwith a shocking 33% of women reporting unwanted
touching.
- Trafficking & Safety: Truck stops are well-documented nodes for human trafficking, drug operations, and
violent incidents. Cargo theft and armed robberies at rest stops are increasingly common.
- Community Alarm: In Winchester, KY, residents fought a similar proposal, fearing increased crime, drugs,
trafficking, and disruption.
Property Values & Environmental Concerns:
- A study of California homes near freeways found that each 1% increase in truck traffic reduced nearby

Letter to Missoula County Commissioners
property values by $2,0002,750 on a $420,000 homeeven at distances beyond 100 m.
- Facilities with idling trucks also bring noise, diesel fumes, pollution, and light intrusionsurveys have shown
these degrade neighborhood quality of life and lower property values.
Concerns Around Town Pump:
- Employee complaints on Indeed and Glassdoor emphasize mismanagement, low pay, poor treatment, and
zero bonuses.
- On Reddit, they were criticized for monopolizing liquor licenses and operating like casinos disguised as gas
stations, exploiting loopholes in Montanas laws.
- A reported incident in 2022 saw a Town Pump cashier refuse service to a girls basketball team in Conrad,
implicating poor customer relations and corporate negligence.
Zoning & Community Integrity:
The land in question has been farmland for as long as I can remember. Was it even zoned for commercial
use? If so, when was that decided and by whom?
Summary:
This is not just a business propositionits a threat to Frenchtowns safety, property values, rural identity, and
environmental health.
I urge all residents and commissioners: Oppose this truck stop proposal. Lets preserve the peaceful,
family-focused, rural community we love.

Frenchtown Resident
James supported: Stop the Town Pump Travel Plaza/Truck stop in Frenchtown, MTFrenchtown is where my family grew up, played, worked and went to school. This proposed truck center undoubtedly can easily disrupt the harmony and small town atmosphere the town is greatly known for. I am 100% opposed to the proposal and strongly urge the county and state leadership to block this proposal. As many state, the infrastructure is too constricted. Frenchtown Rural Fire would be too overwhelmed. Frenchtown School District buses passing by this property if allowed to pass would cause massive gridlock. The potential of high volume crime is too much for our community to handle. It's not worth the headache of paying the county additional taxes to have this gallish truck center come to fruit. We have much, much bigger issues in our state at this point in time. I would rather go to Love's or TA on Highway 10 than have one within eyesight of my father's backyard. This proposal cannot be allowed to move forward.
Billy supported: Stop the Town Pump Travel Plaza/Truck stop in Frenchtown, MTWe lived in Frenchtown for 40 years and have seen the growth. There’s no reason to add a 5th big gas or truck station to an area that already has 2 gas stations and 4 large truck stops within a 10 mile radius!! That area is already congested and would cause additional traffic problems. This is a real safety hazard…
