JTO has confirmed that Minas Michael Christie co-administrator of the Remnant ROCOR and administrator of the KFTU blog, has an extensive history of unlawful civil infractions. The numerous citations include 5 speeding tickets, one in a School Zone, 3 other infractions, and a small claims lawsuit brought against him. Records show that Christie either paid the full fines, made payments, or paid reduced fines by performing Community Service. The records on the Pinellas County, Florida Circuit Court Website, date between 2001 and 2013.
Many can relate to having received a single or even a couple of traffic citations, but fewer can relate to Christie's total of nine citations. To some, such infractions may seem a trivial matter to highlight, however, combined with his multiple criminal arrest records, his illegal copyright infringement, his vulgar sexual public internet chats, and his malevolent public attacks on Orthodox Christians, one can get a clear picture of his rebellious, out of control life, void of submission to any spiritual authority. The initial JTO article, Blogger Troll Confesses To Criminal Record- "Big Deal" exposed Christie's multiple criminal arrest records for Criminal Trespass, Possession of Marijuana and failure to comply with the orders of a police officer during a domestic dispute. Another article, "Remnant ROCOR Blog Co-Administrator Discovered in Gay On-Line Chat" exposed his dual conduct on his blogs and his public participation in a vile on-line gay chat.
JTO has confirmed that at least two priests have attempted to curtail Christie's on-line conduct over the years, one priest stating that Christie has no ecclesiastical blessing to be involved in any on-line activity. Christie has admitted to publicly referring to his former parish's church counsel as the Mafia. Recently, another priest asked Christie to remove his KFTU blog, but said that Christie is "truly under no one's authority." Christie refused to heed the priest's counsel. Christie was recently served a Cease and Desist letter by a Nashville attorney for his use of copyrighted photos on his KFTU blog and was issued a warning of a pending lawsuit. Christie posted the attorney's letter on his blog with mocking and taunting captions. Most recently, Christie has posted another copyrighted photo mocking JTO for exposing his dual life and his vulgar gay chat.
JTO has raised the question in previous articles as to why the Remnant ROCOR blog and its co-administrators, Father Gregory Williams and Joanna Higginbotham, continue to associate with Christie. The greater question, however, is will Christie's current bishop, priest and parish allow him to remain in good standing without an official ecclesiastical rebuke for his ongoing, immoral, illegal, and malevolent conduct in the world and in the Body of Christ. JTO has confirmed that Christie is a member of a Genuine Orthodox Church in Florida.

Great article. Thanks for posting. I'm no psychologist, but I think Minas Michael Christie is probably a Sociopath.
ReplyDeleteContrary to your claim that Father Gregory Williams associates with Joanna Higginbotham, I think the opposite is true today, due to a message he sent me on September 6, 2014. He wrote:
ReplyDelete"I’ve known Joanna for a very long time. She lived here for quite a while (maybe more than a year; I’ve forgotten), had me up on a pedestal within a few weeks, left in a rage when I wouldn’t take her orders to baptize her future son-in-law while he was living “without benefit of clergy” with her pregnant daughter, then marry them. For several years I was public enemy #1 so far as she was concerned, with endless letters to bishops, other clergy, you name it. After a few years of getting no “satisfactory” response, she went on to someone else. After the marriage (accomplished quite uncanonically & resulting in a reprimand to the offending priest from the bishop) collapsed in disaster and the defection of most of our brethren to the MP, she changed her mind. I have little or no control over her activities, either by e-mail or blog (of which she also has many). Before setting her sights on you, she engaged in a war with [another parishioner]… If I thought it would do any good, I would issue a “cease and desist” order.”
