As Much As Things Change They Stay the Same by Shannise Johnson Waters

So, it has been one year to the day since I last made a post to this site. I figured, I would just let this thing go and continue to move on with my life journey. I decided, I would continue to heal from the hurt that was cause to me by CLGI and some of its leadership. However, Martha Edwards just won’t let me alone. Oh, by the way, if you have not figured it out, I am the administrator for this site. I am not the author for all of its stories, but I am the one who financed the site and provided a space for people to tell their stories and warn others to stay clear of CLGI.

Why did you do it in secret? Well if you saw Martha Edwards saying that people who mess with her die what would you do. Besides, I did not want to be harassed by the CLGI machine. Some of the members are docile and just love the Lord. I was not worried about them, I was concerned about the people who carry guns to church meetings and are ready to fight at the drop of a hat if you say anything about their beloved CLGI.

Why put myself in that position? Why create the website and post people’s stories if it would cause this much trouble? Simple, these people had been silenced for long enough. It was time for them to begin to heal. It was time for someone to say, “hey, I believe you.” People found a place of refuge here. That is why I created the website.

So now, I am being slapped with libel and slander charges. It is not libel and slander if it is true. Nothing else needs to be said here. Libel and slander stem from untrue statements, nothing said here was untrue about CLGI or its leadership.

Lastly, if CLGI was so great, why are they bothering me and my little site that has not posted anything for a year. Why are they so dead set on intimidating me? As they lawyer said in the letter, “You have been outed, your cover no longer exist, and now identified Church of the Living God International will be pursuing all legal remedies available against you personally.”

Now I have no other option but to defend myself and my family against the bully that won’t stop. I have thought about taking down the site or letting the domain expire and each time I do, I receive feedback from someone thanking me for this site because it kept them from joining this organization and making a big mistake.

CLGI is still wrong and I am still standing. No 30 day curse is dragging me down.

  1. Don’t be discouraged. Not only is the Lord on your side, the truth is on your side. As you stated, it’s not libel or slander when it’s the truth. It’s going to be interesting to see how their lawyer is going to prove libel & slander. Make sure they pay your attorney & court fees when you win. Should sue them for filing a frivolous law suit. It’s such a shame they are still using fear & intimidation. As you stated, as much as things change, they stay the same.

  2. Don’t be discouraged by the wicked witch of the Pacific Northwest aka “Bishop” Martha L. Edwards. Edwards needs to enjoy her latter years spending her husbands retirement money and preaching to her church of 5 members.

    I’m feeling led to start a page called BishopMarthaEdwardsSucks.com.

    1. Don’t waste your time and money. At this point, I feel kinda bad for her. It is sad she is spending her golden years alone still being mean and hateful.

      1. Agreed. Besides worms feed on dirt; it’s their nature. She’s been feeding on dirt for decades, it’s what she needs to live and thrive underground – that ole night crawler.

  3. So is it just me or, I mean, in her sermon at the “Revival”😂🤣 this year, she told the WHOLE WIDE WORLD aka livestream that you have Pastors and Elders in their DISorganization-(my words)-that commit adultery/fornication! She also alluded to the fact that some members steal money. SO if anyone who’s thinking of joining had any sense, they would hear this and stear clear away. You’d think she would learn and have sense enough to know this!! I would say age could be a factor, but I’ve known her for over 30 years and that mouth is just set on fire of hell for sure. She can’t control her mouth and ever since livestreaming has been a thing, she’s been telling the WHOLE WIDE WORLD the sins that the Bishops on down to the laymembers are committing in that DISorganization. Adultery, fornication, homosexuality (if they even still preach against that seeing that….nevermind), stealing the money, etc. Yes she’s been down there for over 30 years and ONLY got them 5 members. THAT’S PATHETIC! It’s all coming back on her and we gladly take it in–and will keep watching and listening and seeing. She said not too long ago that she’s living in LITHONIA off of $3K/month in one of her sermons. Yeah, she’s poor, aged, miserable, alone, I’m sure afraid, and her work will never amount to anything as we’ve all seen, believe and known all these years. Now this frivolous lawsuit~ The Most High will not honor her works because they’re not of Him. I don’t know who’s worse, her or Smith (having that Zoom church because he has absolutely, positively NO MEMBERS). NONE! PATHETIC!

    1. You’re so right. It is coming back on them. As “they” so often said in the past, “nothing from nothing, leaves nothing.” They proved that statement time and time again and keep proving it over and over. To your point, about Edward’s deplorable condition, she reminds me of someone taking a selfie next to a Bentley in front of Section 8 apartments ; that is so impressive (sarcasm). She livin her best life(Lol!)!
