How Far Have We Come?
September 14, 2009
It is both deeply saddening and disheartening to see that the corruption permeating our nation has now made its way into our church. When a political leader fails in his personal life it is just a passing disappointment. But a minister of God? What a deep hurt to see that it is a spiritual leader who is erasing all the boundaries between right and wrong. Imagine how it would feel wondering if God's representative was violating our wives, mothers, and children in the most repulsive and despicable way? And knowing that it could have been stopped had there been a stand taken against this immoral behavior. If we allow this precedent to be set now, where we will be in the next two generations?
God Help Us!!!

Abuse of the Gospel
August 31, 2009
My family has been torn apart by GAC and Zolon Zeh. He spews hatred for people who "leave the fold" instead of love, which is the embodiment of Christ. People are excommunicated by their family if they leave GAC. I can think of nothing more vile than the abuse of the gospel for personal gratification and power.

Day of Reckoning
August 27, 2009
Thank you to whoever finally brought to light the abuses of Zolon Zeh. I know first hand what horrors he can do to a young person. I know how he can tear a family apart under the guise of Godliness. I know how he can swindle family inheritances from senior citizens. I know because I was one of his victims and so was my family. I know the mistrust of others he instills deep into one's very soul. He may well escape judgment here on Earth, but he will not escape the judgment of the resurrection before God. My heart goes out to those still under his unrighteous dominion--those sincere in their search for truth. Bless you who are courageous enough to stand against spiritual wickedness in the church.

Separation from Family
August 21, 2009
I just wanted to say thank you for this website. I have family in the GAC church under Zolon Zeh that I have never meet because of this man. When my parents left this church, their family in the church cut them off and therefore I have never know my Grandparents, Aunt or Uncles that are still there. I have watched the pain and hurt in my parents and the frustration surrounding Zolon Zeh, and their family who refuse to associate with them because they are so called "worker of iniquity". I have only seen one set of Grandparents when I was about 4 years old, theother set I have seen a few time at family funerals. As for me and my siblings we have never done anything against these people and the only thing we know is that if this is how "Christians" are suppose to treat each other, than somebody was taught very wrong.
If this man is guilty of all of these accusations, then he should do the right thing and come forward and repent! If he will not, it is the duty of the trustees and the church members to expel him from the church, church property and not allow him to continue to destroy God's house in such a way as this.

Website Editors' Comment
August 22, 2009
In responseto the reader's comment posted below "I heard that the authorities there said that while what he was doing was immoral, it was not illegal", we would like for our visitors to know that it is always unethical and sometimes illegal for a counselor or therapist to engage in sex with their counselee. It is also always illegal for any adult to engage in sexual activity with a minor.” These laws can be found in the Mississippi Penal Code.

Finally Exposed
August 20, 2009
Thank you for your website. Just want to tell you that I for one am thankful that someone finally decided to expose what is going on with this man. As you say, there are still good people in the church who love God who probably don't have a clue what this man has been up to all these years. I have wondered though why their spirit wasn't troubled down through the years with all the escapades in which this man has been involved. He has parted families and caused much heartache. I personally know several people who lived in Iuka that told me many years ago of troubling things going on with this man but of course, nothing could be proved at that time. I heard that the authorities there said that while what he was doing was immoral, it was not illegal. I will continue to look at your website from time to time. Be blessed in your endeavors.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
August 17, 2009
Have you ever wondered why Zeh preached against college, learning psychology and other subjects of higher learning? Is it because he knew it would open our eyes to how wrong he is?
"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" Quotation from John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902)
“A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."
Quotation from Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)

What has happened to my church?
August 16, 2009
Dear God, what has happened to my church? What has happened to the peopleI once trusted? What has happened to the people that I love? Is it too much to ask for my minister to be pure, holy and moral? Not perfect, just moral. Is it too much to ask that my trustees watch out for my welfare? Dear God, what has happened to my church?
The payment of church money for sex? This is sick...so sick! Our church can do better than this. Is this the reason we gave our tithes and offerings? So we could pay for sex? Dear God, what has happened to my church? "Bring your tithes and offerings into the storehouse saith the Lord". So we can pay for sex? Dear God, what has happened to our church?

Workers of Iniquity
August 15, 2009
Have we ever considered the real reason that Zolon Zeh instructs us never to talk to the people who have left the church? The so-called “workers of iniquity”. People mentioned above, who for seemingly no reason at all just left. These people didn’t cause any problems at all while they were in church. We still love them and have known them all our lives, yet we don’t speak to them. Why? Is it because we are afraid someone will see us and tell Zolon Zeh? Then his next message would be about “having nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness”. Could the reason we are not supposed to talk to “workers of iniquity” be that the truth might be revealed to us about him? Some people left because they found out the truth and didn’t want to be under that kind of wrong, immoral way any longer. Others left because they were the ones being abused. Zolon Zeh astutely put this teaching in place to cover his tracks and stop the truth from seeping into the congregation. He has been covering his own sins up for years...his teaching is ideal because don’t we always do what we are told? We have all heard the quote, however lightly from the pulpit, “If I told some people the moon were blue cheese, some people would get out crackers.” Are we so gullible? Look what we have gotten for not questioning what we think is wrong. Now think of all the time that has gone by. Time that has been lost with friends and in some cases family. Time that could have been spent with them that has been taken away from us because Zolon Zeh is trying to cover up his unethical and immoral ways. If you have questions, talk to the trustees. Ask them if they know anything regarding the sexual abuse and financial improprieties. That is, if you are brave enough. “Deal with the Details” as we are told and see where it will get you. Maybe “facing reality” is easier preached than practiced.
