Blogger Troll UPDATE- Minas Michael Christie- Felon

JTO has previously profiled Minas Michael Christie of Saint Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Christie came to JTO's attention almost 7 years ago when he contacted JTO via the comment section. JTO  subsequently discovered his on-going activity of engaging in various personal public online attacks of Orthodox clergy and laymen.  Mr. Christie has posted numerous personal attacks including the posting of mocking photos of clergy and their family members including children. His surreptitious attacks included using false identities and creating at least one fake google account posing as an Orthodox deacon causing the real deacon to issue a warning and disclaimer.

JTO began to expose the identity of  Mr. Christie and his unlawful and threatening conduct by posting several expose's on his criminal record and his on-line sexual and perverse misconduct. 

JTO previously filed a report with the local county sheriff and with the local police department in Pinellas County Florida where Christie lives, as a result of a threatening post directed at JTO editor Nathan Lee Lewis. Christie has previously ignored a Cease and Desist Letter, issued by an attorney, for posting copyrighted material and has refused to curtail his conduct at the direct behest of his local priest. 

After months of relative quiet, JTO recently received two comments apparently from Christie's wife, Friska Monyka Christie, asking JTO to pray for her husband's soul. Friska apparently also became a regular subscriber to this blog. The JTO editor invited Friska to contact him by email if she wished to speak further with JTO. It was Minas Christie who responded by trying to post a couple of mocking attacks on the JTO Editor in the comment section. He insisted that his wife was just pulling my chain, inferring that Friska was joining him in mocking JTO.

"LOL, she was just pulling your chain you pompous old windbag. Do you really believe she wants to discuss anything with you!"

Subsequent to this comment from Christie (not posted), JTO received several other "anonymous" perverse comments on various articles, including links to sex chat rooms and other sordid suggestions, a pattern that fits Christie's prior methods of vile on-line attacks with others.

JTO Editor has withheld the following, previously unpublished, information, but due to Christie's resurgence of activity, JTO will release it here as a warning to all who may have dealings with Minas Michael Christie. Note that Christie's arrest record is the same as previously posted, but the notations on this particular record are cause for greater concern.

This specific public criminal record specifies that one of his crimes included "RESISTING OFFICER WITH VIOLENCE."

Definition of Resisting Officer with Violence

Under Florida Statute 843.01, the crime of Resisting Officer with Violence is committed when a person knowingly and willfully resists, obstructs, or opposes a law enforcement officer by threatening violence or engaging in violent conduct against the law enforcement officer was engaged in the lawful execution of a legal duty.

In any case, JTO encourages all who have been subject to Christie's attacks or crimes to follow Friska's admonition to pray for the soul of her husband. This JTO Editor has been doing so for years and will continue to do so. However, whenever Mr. Christie issues a new malevolent, public and libelous attack directed at various clergy, individuals and their spouses, children and grandchildren, JTO will issue more information exposing the character and conduct of this unrepentant, arrogant and prideful man. 

The Downward Spiral Of The Remnant ROCOR Blog Co-Administrators

sacrilege: 

The intentional desecration or disrespectful treatment of a person, place, thing, or idea held sacred

In a disturbing act of sacrilege, Minas Michael Christie, co-administrator of the Remnant ROCOR blog with Joanna Higginbothm and Father Gregory Williams has photo-shopped and posted a photo containing the icons of Christ and the Theotokos, He has placed, what appears to be, a ventriloquist dummy over the icon of Christ, and over the Icon of the Theotokos is a child on a carnival carousel zebra, with, what appears to be, a man holding a machete and a severed head. The photo, has had its copyright obscured and is posted on a blog that Christie independently operates. The original copyrighted photo appears on the JTO blog to the right. Reader Nathan Lee Lewis, administrator of the JTO blog appears in the photo with the two icons in the background. The photo is taken in front of the altar of the Saint Symeon Mission where Reader Nathan Lee Lewis leads a Reader Service. The icons were originally blessed by the former priest Father Anastasious Hudson of the GOC, and hang over an altar that was built per his instructions and where he once officiated and blessed the holy Eucharist.

This downward spiral into this bizarre behavior follows a confrontation by Christie's own priest at which time Christie was asked to take down the offensive and ofttimes profane blog. Christie apparently refused to do so. In recent days JTO has posted several expose's of the conduct of Christie and Higginbotham, who participates on his blog. Father Gregory Williams has rejected requests to intervene or to curtail his co-administrator's on-line public conduct, although he is fully aware of the nature the conduct takes. In this it is hard to not consider him complicit in their conduct. Christie's blog is still linked as a "Member" blog on the Remnant ROCOR blog and Joanna Higginbotham continues to participate in the comment section on Christie's blog. With very few exceptions, Christie and Higginbotham are the only ones commenting on the blog. 

For one to mock another is serious enough. For one to mock another in public is serious still. For one to use the photos of holy icons as tools of mockery is a perverse act. 

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.…"

Blogger Troll Receives Notice Of Pending Litigation - Federal Crime

[JTO Editor's Note: I write this article in the Third Person, hoping that it not be perceived as a personal defense of myself or anything that has occurred to me. For my part, I am content to allow God to use persecution to buffet my soul and have posted my view on such HERE. But, for the cause of Christ and His Holy Church I come to the defense of God's people who are the targets of an enemy who "roams to and fro, seeking whom he may devour."]

Minas Michael Christie, of Saint Petersburg, Florida, has received a cease and desist letter from a Nashville, Tennessee attorney, representing Nathan Lee Lewis, the author of the JTO blog and Executive Producer of Rocky Top Pictures, LLC. Sighting numerous infractions, the letter warns Christie of Copyright Infringement, which is a federal crime, punishable by fines and/or imprisonment and "demands that you immediately cease and desist all use of the infringing photographs and provide an accounting of all uses of the photographs..."

The letter focuses on Christie's activity on a Google blog he operates under the name Journey To Knuckleheads From The Underworld. The blog, operated under the Google name, MRXRISTIDIS, contains numerous copyrighted photos, used multiple times, and belonging to several owners, including Nathan Lee Lewis.  JTO has learned that at least one other attorney, representing a copyright owner, is preparing action against Christie.

"The blog appeared about a year ago", Lewis said. "I was mortified to see personal and copyrighted photos of my wife, daughters, grandchildren and myself displayed with vitriolic and mocking captions. My copyrighted photos from my business, blog, FaceBook, and church websites were also used as defamatory memes. Christie's blatancy and disregard for the law is astounding." Lewis said.

Although Christie's Knucklehead blog is his own, he is also co-administrator of an orthodox blog, Remnant ROCOR, operated by Joanna Higginbotham of Oregon and her priest Father Gregory Williams of Liberty, Tennessee. Ms. Higgingbotham is quoted heavily on Christie's blog and she is very active in the comment section. She also endorses Christie's Knucklehead blog via a link on the Remnant ROCOR blog, with this warning: "Caution-satire." Recently the "caution-satire" was changed to simply, "humor." Both Christie and Higginbotham's internet conduct were the focus of the August 7, 2014 JTO article, Blogger Troll Confesses To Criminal Record- Big Deal,  

In recent days, the Remnant ROCOR vitriolic posts, some of which also included copyrighted photos, have lessened, but Higginbotham's activity on Christie's blog have increased. Along with the link on Remnant ROCOR, Higginbotham has also posted an article specifically endorsing Christie's blog.

Lewis has confirmed that more than one legal course of action is being prepared against Christie,

"The copyright infringement issue is only the first stage in holding Mr. Christie accountable for his illegal actions," Lewis said. "There are also numerous documented accounts of his blatant lies regarding my character and business activities. His obvious intent to do me personal and financial harm through defamation and libel will not go unanswered. I am not only confronting this for my sake but for the sake of the other good and godly people, including clergy and their families, whom Christie continues to target."

On at least five occasions, Mr. Christie deliberately obscured Lewis' copyright mark, © 2014 Nathan Lee Lewis, from the photos by using a Paint or Photoshop feature or with a black bar. The U.S. Copyright Act. 17 U.S.C. 101 et seq, entitles a plaintiff to seek statutory damages of as much as $150,000 per act of infringement, but the intentional removal or manipulation of a copyright notice constitutes an additional, specific violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 1202(b), stating,

No person shall, without the authority of the copyright owner or the law, intentionally remove or alter any copyright management information knowing, or. with respect to civil remedies under section 1203, having reasonable grounds to know, that it will induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal an infringement of any right under title.

The damages for violating 17 U.S.C. 1202 alone range from $2500 to $25,000 per violation, in addition to any damages for copyright infringement.

"If Christie honestly believes that he has the right of  "Fair Use" of the photos", Lewis said, "then why would he take the time to obscure the copyright marks on the photos? His position certainly will not stand a legal test."

Since Mr. Christie has reportedly published upwards to 100 copyrighted photos, he may have much for which to answer, particularly if other plaintiffs take action. A legal answer from Christie has been demanded by Lewis' attorney,

"If you fail to comply with the demands in this letter on or before (omitted), (omitted) reserves the right to take all necessary action to protect its rights without further notice to you."

According to Lewis, Christie missed the deadline and has yet to respond to the attorney's letter through legal channels, but initially confirmed that he received and read the letter, with a seemingly sarcastic and mocking comment he attempted to post on the JTO blog:

"Hi Nathan. I'm trying to get the [settlement offer omitted] together but I may need more time, my blood type isn't rare so they won't pay much for it at the blood bank. Also be assured that I'm working on putting everything on my hard drive on flash drives to send to you for review. I do need to be careful though as that damn Jezebel is keeping close tabs on me and may not approve of my action to settle up with you. I have a feeling she doesn't like you as much as I do and may punish me for cooperating with your requests. Please have mercy on me. Maybe you could pray for me, I could used a mediator like you between God and myself."

As of this post, Mr. Christie has failed to voluntarily remove the copyrighted photos from his blog and, in fact, has defiantly posted a new round of copyrighted photos belonging to Lewis, followed by a posting of the attorney's letter. In the post, Christie claims his right to use the photos and his refusal to remove them.

"It doesn't surprise me that Christie has pushed back," Lewis said, "but his arrogance is obscuring clear thinking. The letter contains his home address and he posted it for all to see. A very unsafe action in today's world. With the issue now being a legal matter and with Christie's obvious defiance", Lewis said, "my attorney is preparing the first of two law suits."

It is yet to be determined if Mr. Christie will continue to defy the law and ignore the Cease and Desist demand. Time will tell, but if it doesn't, litigation certainly will.

State Of Florida vs. Christie, Minas Michael

Remnant ROCOR Blog Co-Administrator Commits Act of False Impersonation

JTO has confirmed that Minas Michael Christie, co-administrator with Father Gregory Williams and Joanna Higginbotham of the Remnant ROCOR blog, has falsely impersonated an Orthodox Clergyman on-line. Christie, who has been the subject of several recent JTO articles exposing his criminal background, multiple civil infractions, copyright infringement, and vile on-line gay chat, created a false Google ID using the initials and last name of Deacon Joseph Suaiden. Suaiden, a deacon in the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles, is the administrator of NFTU.net, an Orthodox news source that lists itself as "True Orthodox and Ecumenical News".

JTO first learned of Christie's deceitful act when he used the false Google ID in an attempt to post a comment on the JTO blog. 

The comment, that was not published, was from a D.J. Suaiden read: 

"Greetings Reader Nathan. Please visit my brand new blog and let me know what you think. I hope you will consider providing a link to it on JTO. I think it's important to get this information out to all True Orthodox. That said, I'd like you to know that I'm working on a JTO posting for it pending your approval. Perhaps you'll consider co-authoring the article with me. Thanks. http://nf-tu.blogspot.com."

The comment was not from Deacon Joseph Suaiden. It was from Minas Michael Christie posing as the deacon. The fake "D.J. Suaiden" was designed by Christie to falsely impersonate the deacon.  The comment, apparently intended for JTO administrator Nathan Lee Lewis, led Lewis to believe it was from the actual deacon. This caused Lewis to click on the link. The nf-tu blog or Nates From The Underground, contained mocking memes and other derogatory content. The nf-tu.blogspot.com address was a blog created by Christie to mislead by mimicking the NFTU.net that Deacon Suaiden operates. However, it is Christie's criminal use of the false personal ID that most clearly meets the following definition:

"False personation is the crime of falsely assuming the personal identity of another person to gain a benefit or to cause harm to the other person. Hence, the offense of false personation requires a deliberate effort to pass oneself off as another. It is also called false impersonation. “False personation is punishable as either a felony or a misdemeanor.”[ People v. Chardon, 77 Cal. App. 4th 205 (Cal. Ct. App. 1999)]."

Christie's potentially felonious act prompted the real Deacon Joseph Suaiden to issue a warning:

"Anything coming from this Google account:

https://plus.google.com/103770769386703450234/

It’s not me. It’s Minas Christie with a fake Google account (I have no personal Google account, or email.)"

As of this posting, the false Google ID is still active, and has been since at least August of 2014.

Christie's nf-tu blog, using the actual logo of the NFTU.net, disappeared within a few days of its creation, but was replaced soon after by a new blog called KFTU or Journey To Knuckleheads From The Underworld. Christie's use of stolen photos on the KFTU blog has prompted pending legal action for copyright infringement.

Christie's nf-tu blog was briefly linked on the Remnant ROCOR blog. His KFTU blog is currently linked on Remnant ROCOR as a "Member Blog". Father Gregory Williams and Joanna Higginbotham who co-administer the Remnant ROCOR blog with Christie, are members of the Russian Church Abroad under Bishop Agafangel of Odessa, Ukraine. Minas Michael Christie, who also uses the on-line alias, MRXRISTIDIS, and the name Michael M Christie, is a member of a Genuine Orthodox Church in Florida.

JTO has confirmed that Christie's GOC priest is aware of his on-line conduct but has been unable to curtail Christie's illegal activity. It is unclear as to whether or not any official ecclesiastical action has occurred or is planned regarding Christie. What is clear, however, is that Father Gregory Williams and Joanna Higginbotham, co-administrators with Christie on the Remnant ROCOR blog, are aware of Christie's past and present criminal conduct but have yet to disassociate themselves from him.

Pro-Life Feature Film in Pre-Development

I am encouraged by the nature of the most recent public attack on me by the Jezebel, Joanna Higginbotham, of Oregon. In the six years that she has been attacking me in public I have never answered one of her accusations--until now. I am encouraged because the nature of the attack is indication of the presence of God in my activities surrounding the pro-life movement and the sanctity of the life of the unborn. Higginbotham joined her partner-attacker, Minas Michael Christie, on his blog in inferring that I am pro-choice and was an Obama supporter. Higginbotham posted a sermonette in the comment section apparently designed to correct me. Although the content of her words are true, the context in which they appear is deceptively misleading and defamatory. Anyone seeing the post and the comment would get a false understanding of who I am. Anyone seeing the post title alone,  "Busted Again", would have no doubt as to the intentions of both Higginbotham and Christie to discredit me.

Christie's Stolen & Doctored Photo of Lewis

Higginbotham's Comment

I supported, and even campaigned for Mike Huckabee in the 2008 election, primarily for his pro-life views, and posted a JTO article at the time to that effect. I actively ran the Tennessee For Huckabee blog which was listed on the official Mike Huckabee For President website. I later voted for John McCain who won the nomination. The Republicans still have a pro-life platform which is worthy of consideration when deciding for whom to vote. I have never nor would I ever vote for a candidate that was not pro-life. During the same 2008 election cycle, I operated a blog called "O-bortion" which highlighted the then-candidate Obama's extreme abortion views.

When Obama won the election in 2008, I posted an article asking all to pray for our new president as we are commanded to do, because he was, in fact, to become the President of all Americans. Here is the short JTO post in entirety:

"I invite all JTO readers to pray for President-Elect Barack Obama as he leads the United States in this most difficult time in our history. I echo President-Elect Obama's words to those who did not support him during the election. He will be the president of all Americans. Choose prayer rather than criticism and allow our sovereign God to work his will and way in this nation. Prophesy if you must and criticize if it is warranted, but remember, the Kingdom of God will prevail and all nations and leaders will one day bow before the throne of God. God is still in control and Christ will come again."

I myself, did, in fact, later criticize with an article called The Usurper, but I also have prayed every week at the altar for "The President of the United States and all those in civil authority."  But Christie and Higginbotham have skewed these facts.

So why have Higginbotham and Christie borne false witness against me in this matter?  I believe this scripture explains it:

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

The spirits of darkness that influence both of them would have them present me as the very opposite of who I am and the very opposite of what I am equipped by our Lord to do, so as to thwart the purpose of God in protecting the innocent unborn. But why attack me in particular, and to what purpose?

Through my Rocky Top Pictures, LLC, I have been producing a feature film designed to be the definitive pro-life film. The Rocky Top Pictures website has been cryptic as to the nature of the film, and the title is still undisclosed, because it is a true story whose subjects are still alive. You, the JTO Readers, are the first to be privy as to the nature of this film. The adapted screenplay is ready and meetings are talking place to produce it and bring the film to the theaters.

JTO readers, do you want to see this film made? Then pray. Pray that the Jezebelian voices like Higginbotham and Christie will be silenced and that those of us who are given a voice in the film industry are allowed to speak for the sake of the unborn.

JTO readers, do you want to see this film made? Then leave an encouraging comment in the comment section or by e-mail journeytorothodoxy@gmail.com.

Jezebel Despises True Authority

Here are selected quotes on how the spirit of Jezebel is an enemy of the Orthodox Church. These quotes highlight her independence and opposition to all authority, especially spiritual authority. The spirit of Jezebel can influence or control men, but it is most often the strongest in women. Her goal is to disrupt, destroy (especially the clergy), cause disunity, control, and to exhibit her own authority. She is rebellious, curses from an evil spirit, and with arrogance.

"For rebellion (from marah- rebellion, perverseness, bitterness) is like the sin of divination (from quasem- to divine- to curse- false visions, idolatries, delusions of their own minds), and arrogance like the evil of idolatry (Terapim- family idols, images, cultic masks -[evil generational strongholds])." 1 Sam 15:23

A WARNING FOR THE CLERGY

Discern the spirit of any woman woman, who, independent of a husband, mingles with or converses. on a regular basis with or to the clergy or the church, if she has not been recognized by a Bishop as having a particular grace (charism) which would warrant such a relationship. Take greatest caution in the arena of Social Media, where it is easiest to set up a platform of pseudo-authority and speak to the masses.

QUOTES: 

“Jezebel demands recognition for herself while serving as the enemy of the true prophetic ministry. Jezebel was the greatest enemy of one of the Old Covenant’s most powerful prophets, Elijah, whose ministry especially represents preparing of the way for the Lord. The Jezebel spirit is one of the most potent forms of the religious spirit which seeks to keep the church and the world from being prepared for the return of the Lord. This spirit especially attacks the prophetic ministry because that ministry has an important place in preparing the way of the Lord. That is why John the Baptist was persecuted by a personification of Jezebel in the wife of Herod. The prophetic ministry is the primary vehicle through which the Lord gives timely, strategic direction to His people. Jezebel knows that removing the true prophets will make the people vulnerable to her false prophets, which always leads to idolatry and spiritual adultery.” 2 (Epic Battles of the Last Days, pg.137) Mental Disorder and Jezebel

Jezebel’s greatest enemy is true spiritual authority. As Jezebel opposed Elijah and Herodias opposed John the Baptist, so Jezebel today opposes righteous authority. In her heart, she despises all moral authority. jonhamilton.com

Jezebels love to project a sense of power they do not have. It is based on fear and intimidation, in order to cloud the minds of those they desire to oppress. Steve Sampson (p 14)

Jezebels revile (despise and show no respect for) authority over her. Building on “dislike of authority” (especially of men since they are frequently the authority figure) coupled with rebellion, she hates anyone placed in authority over her (particularly men), and seeks to destroy them and take their power. Jezebel sees herself as the “goddess on the pedestal”. albatrus.org

Jezebel is like a shark; she is most vicious and dangerous. She circles the lives of others looking for teachable, seducible, controllable, “disciples” of her own. Jezebel likes to birth spiritual children of her own as she looks for disciples to eat from her own table. She will look for those that are in rebellion, who are weak, wounded, or those who are contending, bucking, and fighting any established spiritual authority. albatrus.org

Jezebel hates men and majors in destroying them. She cannot have a true Godly relationship with men; because her desire is to strip them of all their perceived power and then destroy them, to emasculate them emotionally and spiritually. albatrus.org

Another very obvious thing with this kind of spirit is its absolute hatred and disdain for anything to do with spiritual warfare, prayer, and anything to do with God’s true prophets. This spirit hates all of God’s prophets just like Queen Jezebel did back in the OT. And it also hates anyone who is actively involved with spiritual warfare in the Lord. The reason it hates these two types of people is because prophets and those well trained in the area of spiritual warfare are its greatest threat. Prophets and those who are trained in the area of spiritual warfare can easily spot and pick up when they come across this kind of spirit, and they will then know how to get rid of it if the person is open to receiving an actual deliverance. If you want to test a person to see if they have a Jezebel spirit on them, just bring up the subject of prophets and spiritual warfare and watch how this spirit will well up with anger and disgust, and from there, will try and change the conversation to something else. You will hit a nerve every time you do this with this kind of spirit. bible-knowledge.com

A real and current example of the Jezebel Spirit at work is found in a woman named Joanna Higginbotham of Oregon who operates Remnantrocor.blogspot.com. Ms Higginbotham's conduct was profiled in the August 7, 2014 JTO article Blogger Troll Confesses to Criminal Record-"Big Deal". The Remnant ROCOR blog contains the name of Bishop Agafangel and the ROCOR jurisdiction to which Higginbotham is a part, however, in a recent direct conversation between JTO Administrator Nathan Lee Lewis and Bishop Agafangel, the Bishop stated that he did not know who Higginbotham was nor was he aware of her blog activities.  He deferred the matter to Higginbotham's priest, Father Gregory Williams, of Holy Annunciation in Liberty, Tennessee. Father Gregory Williams has previously stated that he would issue Higginbotham a "cease and desist" order if he thought it would do any good. 

"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." Father Gregory Williams

For Higginbotham's own priest to confess the futility of dealing with her is telling. Even though Father Gregory has the authority to rebuke, discipline, withhold the sacraments until repentance or deliverance, he has seemingly abdicated his responsibility in the matter. This is the classic and documented rebellious Jezebel spirit at work. She has gained a foothold of control over her priest while her Bishop, who does not speak English, has, until recently, been ignorant of the fact that the spirit of Jezebel is publicly representing his church. Father Gregory cannot claim the same ignorance. In fact, curiously, Father Gregory currently lists himself on his Google Profile as an administrator of the ROCOR Refuges blog. the original blog that now links to Remnant ROCOR.

Higginbotham's operates up to 17 blogs, and participation on several others. Several of these blogs typically include the personal destruction of individuals and the defamation and libel of individual clergy whom she targets, with rumors, gossip, name-calling, innuendo, doctored photos, false accusations, and fabricated stories. She is vehemently opposed to any unity with other jurisdictions and promotes her own jurisdiction as the only legitimate Russian Church while vilifying anyone who disagrees with her by publicly calling them, among other things, psychopaths or cultists. She does not speak for nor is she recognized by her Bishop or jurisdiction, although her blogs are designed to appear so. She, in fact, is under no one's authority- Bishop or Priest - Jezebel never is. Unfortunately, her bishop, priest and jurisdiction are credited for her conduct.

Exhortation: Take time to click on the links after each quote. Study up on the activity of this evil spirit in the church today. Be aware of the tactics and methods it uses. Like a Trojan Horse, a wolf in sheep's clothing, or a lion roaming to and fro, Jezebel seeks whom she may devour toward the destruction of men's souls. If you are a bishop or a priest and are unable to curtail the activities of a Jezebel in your midst, you might at least do what Bishop Agafangel recommended Father Gregory do regarding Joanna Higginbotham:

"We can make a statement that this source does not belong to our church."  

One might also demand the removal of any link or reference to your jurisdiction and, certainty, do not participate as an administrator on a blog influenced by a Jezebel Spirit. The key is to isolate them and cut them off from direct influence over the flock you shepherd. Do not give them a platform of credibility from which to operate. Most of all, PRAY and FAST and STAND FIRM in the face of evil--

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

State Of Florida vs. Christie, Minas Michael

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.
