Thank you, Dr. Phil, for exposing Tony Alamo Ministries. Please continue to investigate and bring to light the atrocities that are going on there daily. This is the tip of the iceberg. This man has separated husbands from their wives, parents from their children and families from their loved ones.
I have personally witnessed underage marriages with girls as young as 12 and I have several pictures to prove it. These are arranged marriages with older men. These men go to Tony Alamo and ask permission to marry these girls. No one gets married without his approval. The girls want to get married in most cases because this is what they have been taught is right all their lives.
Tony Alamo has taken several wives, no one knows for sure how many and he has a taste for young girls. The young girls go to visit him at his home and if he wants them then they never go back home to their parents, their dolls or their innocence. There are witnesses to the actual rape of one of the young girls he took as a wife, I believe she was 15 or 16 years old and he now has a child by her. He has said on his many radio programs that as soon as a girl starts to menstruate then they can marry, that means if they are 9 or 10 or younger in some cases. The parents consider it a privilege for their daughters to be chosen by Tony Alamo.
Tony Alamo has beaten children bloody for the smallest infractions. This man is a monster and his congregation believes every word he says. They will beat their own children on his command. He has even commanded the beating, or smiting, of grown women and men.
Something has to be done about this monster. Dr. Phil, there are children there that need your help.
I have two nieces and one nephew still there and our family is not allowed to see them. They have been there for 11 years. We worry daily about their safety. The girls are at the age where the are married off to older men and if that happens we will never see them again. The authorities wont do anything to help, believe me we have tried. I believe that you, Dr. Phil are our last hope.
Once again, thank you Dr. Phil for exposing Tony Alamo Ministries. There is so much more than what has been shown and I hope you dont stop with this one show.
