Hello, my name is Thomas Belford my family and I moved to the overcomer Oct.
3 1999. I have two daughters & two son's.
We moved there a little after Stair had started to change the way he would present the word of God. He started using sex a lot and even explained to children how to have sex using the Bible for cover. I had a hard time with this. My Dad did not put up with this kind of talk raising me. The Real church will not have this problem.
Stair wants the children to think this is normal so he can use them when they turn 16 years of age. This is when he will tell them God wants them to have sex with him and it is not a sin and if they don't they are black balled by the brothers that remain loyal to him.
There are new people there that don't know what's happening there, he will stay low for awhile.
He now tells everyone there that God had him do what he was doing since the age of 18, because the sisters have a (whorish) spirit on them.
There was a meeting when this all came out because two sisters became pregnant, one after the other. He was scared and needed help so he went to some brothers to help him hide this problem, the first problem was my daughter, she was pregnant. Stair and his wife wanted her gone. They did not want to move her to another community because his wife hated her for what God had told Stair to do to her. Stairs wife wanted to drive her some where and drop her off and tell us she left.
I believe my daughter was told that we had herbs that would cause a miscarriage. She had a miscarriage and Stair thought it was over. Then the second sister was pregnant and he got scared again and called the brothers to his rescue. Note he did not call on GOD, because GOD is not behind him any more. This time the Brothers made him tell the church and he repented and we forgave him .
I went to him and told him we needed to get away for awhile because my wife was having hard time. He was all for this because this is how it was handled in the past.
When we left he started changing his words so we would not come back and others would leave and his power will be returned to him.
The men that remain with him were elevated on the community to a higher status which is only in there head. They are called paster or prophet.
He only repented for being caught thats all.
AND GOD DIDN'T TELL HIM TO SCREW THE SISTERS. HE IS A LIAR
UPDATE:
Conspirers against the brethren. One day I was mixing paint at the Paint trailer there on the farm and I looked to the side of me and there stood Stair & David Marotta they started talking loud enough so I could here them . They were discussing about Bro Mike Duvall. and his family. Ralph told David he wanted them out of there no mater what it took then they would look at me I would just turn my head and look down at what I was doing. this bothered me in my spirit I could not believe my ears. T his is a Brother we should love. I believe now this is how they test you to see if you will join there get rid of them club after you get there money. Not all left there are part of this, just a handful.
