He told me about the difference of someone being a "Reverend" compared to someone being a "Pastor".<BR/><BR/>I was told...if a person uses "Reverend" this can be linked to a specific ordination. The using of "Pastor" requires the person to actually have a church this person is "pastoring" a congregation.<BR/><BR/>Donald Archey stopped using the "Reverend" quite awhile ago. I did not understand why. At that time he was still affiliated with New World Church.<BR/><BR/>Archey states he is a "pastor" at Union Baptist Church here in Ft Wayne, IN. Yet, no one can find a listing of his name on the Union Baptist pastor listing...or do we see any mention of Archey Aids Foundation being a part of Union Baptist Church.<BR/><BR/>Archey states -on his website- the "Let's Talk" children/young adult program is in operation at Union Baptist Church...YET...no mention of that program at Union Baptist Church or it's website.<BR/><BR/>SO..the question is...can Archey actually be a "Pastor" without having a church.<BR/><BR/>Also interesting is the fact the book he wrote shows DONALD ARCHEY as the author...NOT using the Pastor or Reverend.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if this is due to legal reasons?<BR/><BR/>If there is anyone out there who knows more about this please leave a comment on the blog...or contact me directly at GRAWAY925@YAHOO.COM<BR/><BR/>HAPPY NEW YEAR<BR/><BR/>Ron MuckwayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-15245815706828908942007-11-20T09:56:00.000-05:002007-11-20T09:56:00.000-05:00I want to think Pastor Archey for comming all the ...I want to think Pastor Archey for comming all the way out here to Las Vegas last week to do my Son's Euglogy who was only 23 that passed away from AIDS.<BR/><BR/>Pastor Archey you did a good job with the Euglogy of my Son and my family and I want to think you for the time you spent out here with us, in our time of need.<BR/><BR/>I dont care what anybody else says about you and think you for telling me about this site so I could post a comment. <BR/><BR/>When I called and told you about my Son the frist thing you did was you prayed for our family and when I asked you to come here to help you said you would and, you did.<BR/><BR/>You dident have to come all the way out here, you dident even no us but, you did.<BR/><BR/>I dont know anyone else who would have stop everthing they were doing to help some one they dident even know, but you did and I want to think you.<BR/><BR/>God has his hand on you Pastor and I pray you keep helping people all over who is need like my family.<BR/><BR/>I hope and pray one day no one eles will die from AIDS.<BR/><BR/>Once again thank you for comming Pastor Archey my family and I will never forget what you have done for us.<BR/><BR/>We Love you Pastor and if there is anything my family and I can do for you, please let us know.<BR/><BR/>God blessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-77524573045967448382007-11-19T10:46:00.000-05:002007-11-19T10:46:00.000-05:00Greetings from Fort Wayne,Well....Archey Aids Foun...Greetings from Fort Wayne,<BR/><BR/>Well....Archey Aids Foundation and Pastor Donald Archey appear to be operating "business as usual".<BR/><BR/>Archey stated in the media that he had given up all ties with AAF...then he is at the Community Planning Group meetings in Indianapolis asking for grant money supposedly for AAF.<BR/><BR/>It's sad the Indiana State Attorney General's office appears to have done nothing to stop the scamming.<BR/><BR/>All I can do is keep an eye on what's happening and report what I find out to the proper authorities.<BR/><BR/>I watch these type ministers on television. They tell all sorts of fabulous tales..and sadly some people fall for the hype. Of course if one thinks about it a bit they can see the aim is to relieve these people of their money.<BR/><BR/>Archey Aids Foundation was created for one purpose only...to make it's founder "famous" and most importantly to provide him with money for his personal use.<BR/><BR/>Dan Stockman's 1/7/2007 Journal Gazette article clearly states these facts.<BR/><BR/>Had it not been for me getting the word out there...no one would be able to know these facts.<BR/><BR/>It's amazing that some people out there still continue to support Archey even though they are fully aware he is a scam artist.<BR/><BR/>Somewhere along the line this will catch up to him.<BR/><BR/><BR/>He scammed me and my friends into supporting AAF. I feel it's my duty to do what I can to alert others.<BR/><BR/>I know there must be others who were scammed by Archey and AAF over the years.

WELL...it has continued to fall in the rank of book sales from the day it was released.<BR/><BR/>Oh...but then again...that the "spin" Archey and his buddies want to use..so one could maybe believe the book is actually something worth buying.<BR/><BR/>If Archey did speak at the event in Minneapolis yesterday I trust the IRS was there to monitor how many books and signed photos-of himself-he sold. It will take a lot of books and photos to satisfy that $35,000+ IRS tax lien.<BR/><BR/>I've searched the web to find media reports of the conference yesterday. None seem to be showing up yet. <BR/><BR/>If any of you find documented media reports please let us know where to find them.<BR/><BR/>Cold and damp here in Ft Wayne today...stay warm and dry.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-34755829264453331762007-10-26T09:58:00.000-05:002007-10-26T09:58:00.000-05:00Greetings....Pastor How Did You Get Aids sunk 31,5...Greetings....<BR/><BR/>Pastor How Did You Get Aids sunk 31,533 down in the Amazon.com sales ranks since yesterday.<BR/><BR/>At 10:09am 10/26/2007 Archey's book is DOWN to 1,483,679 in the Amazon.com sales ranking.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to hear if Archey went to Minneapolis. NO doubt he went..as the tickets would have already been purchased by the sponsors of that event.<BR/><BR/>Now...if a paycheck awaits him is another story.<BR/><BR/>Sooner or later...people will need to do a background search before they hire folks from outside their area for speaking engagements. Archey does have at least one person who works hard at booking speaking dates for him. No doubt this lady charges a "finder's fee". How long will she do it when Archey cannot pay her?<BR/><BR/><BR/>I found an interesting tidbit on Archey. The Indiana State Dept of Health has a DIVISION of HIV/STD. <BR/><BR/>This state agency has a monthly meeting for all state funded HIV/AIDS issues. One of these meetings is referred to as The COMMUNITY PLANNING GROUP....or CPG for short.<BR/><BR/>They meet once a month in Indy...funded by ISDH. Archey attends and is given mileage money...etc.<BR/><BR/>In August/2007(meeting minutes can be viewed on the ISDH website) CPG had their monthly meeting.<BR/><BR/>Archey makes a comment as follows" Allen County refuses to sign MOU's with Archey Aids Foundation." There is no further mention of this in the meeting minutes.<BR/><BR/>I discussed this with Helen Washington(National Association of Black Social Workers-Minneapois branch). I learned MOU stands for Memorandum of Understanding. This is an agreement between entities which means they agree and acknowledge the organization. Helen realized since Archey Aids Foundation cannot get anyone to sign these MOU's it shows no one acknowledges Archey Aids Foundation as a viable agency.<BR/><BR/>This fact (no MOU's) and the realization Pastor How Did You Get Aids is not a "real" book forced her to realize the group had made a mistake in hiring Archey as the keynote speaker for the event today in Minneapolis.<BR/><BR/>She is acutely aware the group should have NOT hired Archey to be their keynote speaker.<BR/><BR/>I will be most curious to see/hear how it went today. No doubt Archey will have someone(or himself???) make a blog entry trying to tell us how great it was today. <BR/><BR/>WELL..if someone writes...would they please let us know who they are?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sure seems odd that anyone who has written praising Archey NEVER leaves a name. Many of the words/phrases look like Archey's writing. HUMMMMM.<BR/><BR/>So, if someone has anything positive to say...please leave a name and contact info so we can converse.<BR/><BR/>As I have previously stated...feel free to contact me at GRAWAY925@YAHOO.COM <BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-23851929448696230252007-10-25T06:36:00.000-05:002007-10-25T06:36:00.000-05:00Greetings from FT Wayne;Pastor How Did You Get Aid...Greetings from FT Wayne;<BR/><BR/>Pastor How Did You Get Aids has fallen in the Amazon.com sales ranking to 1,452,146. This is means the book went down another 148,726 in the sales ranking.<BR/><BR/>I had a long talk with Helen Washington. She is the president of the National Association of Black Social Workers-Minneapolis,MN chapter.<BR/><BR/>She was very disappointed to hear about Pastor Archey and his deceits here in Ft Wayne. She was also very unhappy to learn what that book is really about. She had been led to believe the book was a "real" book, not a rambling collection of unconnected stories...more like a short story than a real book...104 pages long...double spaced printing and smaller in size than an old format Reader's Digest.<BR/><BR/>She was also amazed to know Archey had been fired from New World Church. In the pamphlet for the even Friday Archey states he is an associate pastor of New World Church here in Ft Wayne. Archey himself states in Frost Illustrated articles he was fired from New World Church in Janurary/2007.<BR/><BR/>Helen and I also discussed the fact Archey Aids Foundation's website does NOT list any schedule of the "world wide book tour" Archey is supposedly doing these days.<BR/><BR/>I looked at the Tate Publishing website..and it shows a book signing in Kokomo, IN on 11/3/2007.<BR/><BR/>So...all of you wishing to stand in line please make sure you find out where that event is being held. It's at Books-A-Million. There is nothing else scheduled for Archey...yet this upcoming date is not shown on the AAF website.<BR/><BR/>If everything were on the "up and up" and legit...one would expect Archey to post his schedule so people would know where to see him speak. <BR/><BR/>Could it be Archey doesn't want IRS officials to know what he's up to?<BR/><BR/>The AAF website does not show the event this Friday 10/26 in Minneapolis, MN. That event is the National Association of Black Social Workers -Minneapolis branch. Do a "google" for Pastor Donald Archey - Minneapolis, MN and check out the results. <BR/><BR/>In that brochure...it states Archey's book is RISING in the rank of best selling books...HA..falling quickly is more accurate.<BR/><BR/>I still have not seen any mention of Archey being on the Tonight Show in Los Angeles. If that were true...should have happened by now. How else could Archey do it and keep on his hectic "World Wide Book Tour"?<BR/><BR/>Hopefully people will understand the history will follow this man.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you all updated...<BR/><BR/>Have a great day,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1969399384058425452007-10-20T13:05:00.000-05:002007-10-20T13:05:00.000-05:00OH MY GOD.....Archey is up to it once again.THERE ...OH MY GOD.....Archey is up to it once again.<BR/><BR/>THERE IS NO THIEF talking negatively about Donald Archey.<BR/><BR/>OH PLEASE...if anyone on the Tonight Show staff would do a background search on Archey they will see as we all do...Archey is a scam artist.<BR/><BR/>This spring he told people he was going to be on OPRAH while he was in Chicago, IL. That never happened. He also had the book in the world wide best seller list a year before it was published.<BR/><BR/>He is supposed to be speaking in Minneapolis, MN this coming Friday.<BR/><BR/>No doubt he will still go...and...most likely his paycheck will not be waiting for him..as the people have been made aware of how deceitful Archey truly is.<BR/><BR/>When a person uses GOD's name to lie/cheat/steal they will pay forever after they die. These people can say all they want...but...come judgment day Archey will pay dearly for his treachery.<BR/><BR/>I am very sure the reason(by the way...do you all realize the blog administrator most likley knows your email address when you write???) this latest entry was done is because of the trouble with Archey's upcoming speaking event.<BR/><BR/>AND...by the way...go to Amazon.com and check out the ranking of Pastor How Did You Get Aids.

Of course, that is if the statements in the book are correct and honest.<BR/><BR/>I have the dubious honor of saying I know Reverend Donald Archey. I assisted Donald with the kids program he was doing at New World Church. Pastor Archey was fired from the New World Church and told to stay clear of any property owned by New World Church. Archey was "let loose" from two churches prior to New World Church that we know of.<BR/><BR/>SO....Donald has linked himself with Union Baptist Church on Smith St here in Ft Wayne, IN.<BR/><BR/>I was Archey Aids Foundation's treasurer. I told Reverend Archey I would not stand by and watch/condone his use of Archey Aids Foundation funds to pay his personal bills(ie phone/cable/internet/car insurance/plates and misc personal charges to credit cards). <BR/><BR/>The Indiana State Attorney General's office is still investigating.<BR/><BR/>I had several friends who were quite willing to give several thousand dollars to AAF. The only stipulation was that Reverend Archey could NO longer use the AAF funds to pay his personal bills or use the AAF checking accounts to pay his personal credit card payments.<BR/><BR/>At this point Archey decided he wanted us out of the picture. The 1/7/2007 article in the Ft Wayne Journal Gazette (by reporter Dan Stockman)put Archey's misdeeds in print. <BR/><BR/>This included a $30,000+ IRS tax lien against Archey personally. You see....this is why he used the AAF accounts to pay his personal bills and more clearly to launder income... Archey also has several personal legal judgements against him which would mean ANY income to him personally would need to be handed over to the IRS first..then to the people he personally owes money to.<BR/><BR/>SO...back to the book. Donald puts several things in print which can be verified. Trust me there will be several of us doing just that.<BR/><BR/>One of Donald's true drawbacks is that he feels the need/compulsion to come up with statements to get people to believe what he wants them to "think" is the truth. SO, eventually he retells the same sagas using different statements as to what he feels at the time will get the people to be quiet...or to believe Archey was blameless.<BR/><BR/>Archey's mantra is always the same...someone is always doing him wrong...<BR/><BR/>In the book he says it's the Devil...or demons speaking to him.<BR/><BR/>I especially enjoyed his telling of the story of how he would stand on his bed and urinate as a child...he said this was due to poor self esteem...in the hope(???) his adoptive parents would send him back to the orphanage.<BR/><BR/>THEN...his scam of stealing a purse(from the arm of a woman)..then using the credit cards to buy clothes(to wear to the gay bars)then using the cash from the purse to buy cocaine and heroin.<BR/><BR/>IF YOU READ THE BOOK AND DESIRE TO NOT DO AS HE HAS DONE...great...and that is the only true message I see in the book.<BR/><BR/>One should be leery of the reasons he left out SO much of his life story. What about the Hepatitis C and how you got it? What about the IRS lien and how that came about. What about all the people you owe money to...and continue to accept speaking fees without handing the money over to the people you owe.<BR/><BR/>What about the autographed photos you sell at these speaking engagements? I filed the IRS paperwork for AAF. You did not list any of this misc income...and you most certainly did not turn it over to the IRS or the lawyers of the people to whom you owe many thousands of dollars.<BR/><BR/>I too have HIV/AIDS...so don't think this is any personal attack because of the fact Archey has aids...or is gay...or is black.<BR/><BR/>I did my best(along with my friends)to make AAF a success. Of course this does not count the many other peopleArchey has duped along the way as well.<BR/><BR/>When someone is doing your bidding or getting you cash...they are "Sent by GOD". Yet, once they ask too many questions when your many stories change over time...they are then sent by that same "demon" you speak of who talks in your ear attempting to get you to do evil things.<BR/><BR/>Archey does admit to many con artist activities in his book.<BR/><BR/> PEOPLE...don't forget Archey will never be able to get rid of that aspect of his personality.<BR/><BR/>I will research the stories in his book and get back with the results...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Keep in mind.....there is just as much left out of this book...as there is in it.<BR/><BR/>Also who is the "famous preacher" he speaks of...interesting huh?<BR/><BR/>ALL Archey wants is your money....don't forget that...and he wants to be able to keep it for himeself avoiding the IRS lien and personal judgments.<BR/><BR/>The IRS should look into this book...because any profit from this book goes to the IRS first...then to the countless others Archey owes.<BR/><BR/>How can a person on a full SS disability travel the world...and accept money without losing that SS disability award each month?

This means anyone with money can have a book printed. Archey peddled his biography to several legitimate publishers...all with the same result...None of the "regular" publishers would pay Archey for the rights to print his biography of how he "got" aids.<BR/><BR/>I am anxiously awaiting my copy of this book. I spoke with someone who was given pages of the rough draft before Archey sent it to Tate. These people(friends of Archey) told me it was a incongruent mess...with several parts of it being different versions of what they had been told by Archey regarding his past life/experiences.<BR/><BR/>SO...it shall be interesting to read the book. I'm sure the book will be an interesting and humorous read.<BR/><BR/>Reverend Donald Archey DID get Union Baptist Church(Smith St, Ft Wayne, IN) to put on a play last month...so I would venture to say this is where Pastor Archey "found" the money to get his book into print.<BR/><BR/>Reverend Archey repeatedly told me he was SO very special in that he was a pastor having HIV/AIDS. WELL, my friends...do a google search for PASTER HOW DID YOU GET AIDS or CLERGY WITH HIV/AIDS and you will see many other pastors have HIV/AIDS as well.<BR/><BR/>There have been many misleading press releases put on the internet regarding this book. In February(LONG before the book was even given to Tate Publishing)Archey was already getting the "word" out that he (Archey) was a worldwide best selling author...WOWEE..talk about spin.<BR/><BR/>The saddest aspect of this drama is that many people WANT to believe what he says....because Archey knows just exactly what to say.<BR/><BR/>After the horrible experience of sitting on his board of directors as his treasurer I know first hand that Pastor Archey says what he needs to in order to quiet people when his questionable actions come up. Sad though...Archey does not recall what he says...so each time a question is asked Archey comes up with a different answer. THEREIN lies the problem. If one dearly wants to believe what he says...how can one pretend the inconsistencies do not exist?<BR/><BR/>Donald was fired from New World Church this past winter...after the Journal Gazette(Ft Wayne, IN)exposed the fact Archey was skimming ARCHEY AIDS FOUNDATION funds to pay his personal bills. I had the bank statements to prove it...recall...I was appointed by ARHCEY as his treasurer...and Archey was so very dismayed I would not "go along" with his deceit. I realize now why Archey attempted to get me to take cash from AAF. He wanted me to take some cash because of all the assistance I did to help AAF be a great organization. I told him I -or him for that fact- could not legally or morally accept any AAF funds. Donald threatened to step down if I stopped him from paying his personal bills using the AAF checking account.<BR/><BR/>We cannot forget what Dan Stockman(reporter with the Journal Gazette, Ft Wayne, IN)uncovered in his investigative report on Archey Aids Foundation and how Pastor Donald E. Archey was skimming nearly all the funds for his personal use. Pastor Archey has several personal liens against him...including owing Uncle Sam (IRS) nearly $30,000. That along with him being on SS disability means he could not show any income whatsoever. <BR/><BR/>We wonder too...how can Reverend Archey travel the country...and still benefit from a Social Security Disability award???<BR/><BR/>No doubt Archey will find the excuse now to do a nationwide book tour. IF there are any IRS agents who see this blog...perhaps they should go to a book signing of Archey's Book? <BR/><BR/>Donald also sells photos of himself for ten bucks each when he does his speaking engagements...again..how can Archey travel the country...making money selling photos(and now books)and still keep his SS disability intact???<BR/><BR/>I will give my "review" of his book as soon as I receive me copy...<BR/><BR/>We cannot allow people like Pastor Archey to abuse the money legitimately given to fight HIV/AIDS.<BR/><BR/>More to come...<BR/><BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70141625699487420982007-05-01T07:21:00.000-05:002007-05-01T07:21:00.000-05:00Greetings once again,It appears as if Archey Aids ...Greetings once again,<BR/><BR/>It appears as if Archey Aids Foundation has been taken over by the UNION BAPTIST CHURCH on Smith St here in Ft Wayne.<BR/><BR/>One must keep in mind this is -at least- the fourth church Pastor Donald E. Archey has been affiliated with since he began Archey Aids Foundation back in 2002. <BR/><BR/>In each case he was "set free" when the problems began. If this follows the same pattern it will only be a matter of time before Reverend Donald Archey is looking for a new church.<BR/><BR/>Cathy Wilson (other AAF board member) telephoned recently. She told me Donald Archey had been by her home. He asked her to write a letter requesting TOWER BANK(bank where Archey Aids Foundation holds accounts)to take her(Cathy Wilson's) name off the account. Cathy informed me Pastor Archey added his name to the letter to have his name removed from the account as well.<BR/><BR/>Cathy told me it appeared as if Archey was driving a newer van...(sorta wonder who paid for that one) <BR/><BR/>Cathy told me alot more...and in fact she told me Archey made a comment regarding the fact he wished I were dead...or wished it could be arranged.<BR/><BR/>NOW...you must understand this could have been said in jest...or it would also be obvious Archey is not pleased I put an end to his taking cash from the AAF accounts for his personal use.<BR/><BR/>Cathy told me she was a bit concerned...since his tone did not seem that of merely kidding. <BR/><BR/>Of course...many of the things Archey says/does are not things that any other clergy member would do or say.<BR/><BR/>I guess we can hope the IRS is keeping track of his speaking engagements....and sales of his photos. I know for a fact he did not include these dollar amounts in the paperwork we submitted to the IRS in Oct/2006.<BR/><BR/>We also must keep in mind that Archey is on full SS disability...so trecking around the USA doing speaking dates(for pay) is really not something the IRS finds acceptable.<BR/><BR/>People who may want to hire him...should be a bit leery as well.<BR/><BR/>AAF/Union Baptist Church put on a play this past weekend...and I hope it went well...AND...I do hope the kids' program is IN DEED being accomplished at Union Baptist Church.<BR/><BR/>BUT...also keep in mind the lady in the office of that church also works as Donald Archey's PR person...and arranges his speaking dates. She runs a business called PJ ENTERPRISES here in Ft Wayne. She calls herself an event planner. No doubt she has made cash from AAF over the years. Her name is Pam Jones....<BR/><BR/>I will add more later...we must not allow this to fade away.<BR/><BR/>According to Cathy Wilson...Archey has been assured by the pastor of Union Baptist Church the scandal will fade away....and let's do our best to make sure people don't forget..because as well all know...people like Archey count on long term memory loss. HECK..he coulda been a politician.<BR/><BR/>You all have a good day...<BR/><BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-37707666614424561182007-03-14T08:22:00.000-05:002007-03-14T08:22:00.000-05:00GREETINGS again from Ft Wayne,Please go online and...GREETINGS again from Ft Wayne,<BR/><BR/>Please go online and take a look at the current issue of FROST ILLUSTRATED (News & Vies of African Americans Established in 1968-Ft Wayne, IN)<BR/><BR/>There is a small article relating to Donald Archey. There is also a photo of Archey with Rev Jesse Jackson.<BR/><BR/>The two (Archey & Jackson) attended a CAEAR Foundation training meeting in Washington DC. The meeting was held on Feburary 15 & 16 of this year(2007).<BR/><BR/>There is a quote by Archey..."I stepped down from Archey AIDS Foundation but I'm not going to turn my back on those in pain and suffering." Archey stated....that Jesse Jackson gave him(Archey)words of encouragement.<BR/><BR/>WELL....then take a look at the CAEAR FOUNDATION website. You will see CAEAR FOUNDATION gets several million dollars of HRSA AIDS FUNDS and disburses these funds to different agencies.<BR/><BR/>I telephoned CAEAR FOUNDATION and asked them for a listing of agencies they fund with Ryan White Care Act dollars...and/or HRSA funds. <BR/><BR/>The people at CAEAR FOUNDATION told me it is their policy to NOT give out information regarding who is involved with their organization...OR...who receives funding.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind these are FEDERAL funds...and since Pastor Donald Archey has had to "step down" from Archey AIDS FOUNDATION who would CAEAR hand over this funding to?<BR/><BR/>In a recent telephone conversation with Cathy Wilson(another Archey Aids Foundation board member) Cathy stated Archey was going to "hand pick" a board who would do his (Archey's) bidding once he was gone from any official relationship with Archey Aids Foundation.<BR/><BR/>Archey then stated in the February 7, 2007 Frost Illustrated article (written by his friend and past AAF board chair Robbin Melton)that Donald Archey was going to operate Archey AIDS Foundation from his home in Ft Wayne since he was fired from his position at NEW WORLD CHURCH.<BR/><BR/>THEN...if one goes to the ARCHEY AIDS FOUNDATION website AAFOUNDATION.NET and you will see Archey has NOT changed the website to acknowledge his is no longer affiliated with AAF.<BR/><BR/>The address to send money to AAF is STILL the same PO box number in Ft Wayne that Archey picks up mail.<BR/><BR/>THEN...add to this the fact Archey is attending meetings where federal grant money is funneled through CAEAR FOUNDATION to individuals and agencies...and one can clearly see the reason Archey would attend these sorts of meetings.<BR/><BR/>Add to that...the fact CAEAR FOUNDATION has a policy to NOT divulge who gets these federal grant dollars???<BR/><BR/>One does not need to be a rocket scientist to understand what is going on.<BR/><BR/>IT all goes back to the same thing...ABUSING HIV/AIDS FUNDING.<BR/><BR/>We are still waiting for something from the Indiana State Attorney General's office regarding Archey and Archey Aids Foundation.<BR/><BR/>It is quite clear Archey is not going to stop on his own...<BR/><BR/>PLEASE...if anyone has more to share...please feel free to contact me directly at GRAWAY925@YAHOO.COMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-68273650387137825062007-03-04T11:14:00.000-05:002007-03-04T11:14:00.000-05:00Hello Anonymous from Washington DC,Could you tell ...Hello Anonymous from Washington DC,<BR/><BR/>Could you tell us more about this event in DC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10386931669645194022007-03-04T10:37:00.000-05:002007-03-04T10:37:00.000-05:00Hello from Washington, DC :It was good to see Past...Hello from Washington, DC :<BR/><BR/><BR/>It was good to see Pastor archey here in DC last week with the Rev, Jesse Jackson Sr.<BR/><BR/><BR/>After listen to Pastor Archey speach here in DC I can see why he is being attact,and I am happy to see Rev Jesse Jackson Sr. take a stand aganist HIV/AIDS. <BR/><BR/>Seeeing Rev Jesse Jackson Sr. and Pastor Archey togouther here in DC will help the cause of HIV/AIDS when it comes to braking down barries in the black community aginst HIV/AIDS were it has hit the hardest.<BR/><BR/>May God keep using Pastor Archey and Rev Jesse Jaskson.

We...GREETINGS,<BR/><BR/>The wheels of justice are very slow. We are still waiting to see what the Indiana State Attorney General's office is going to do regarding Donald Archey and The Archey Aids Foundation debacle.<BR/><BR/>There is some good news though. Archey was fired from New World Church. He had been an associate paster there for a few years. Archey was fired shortly after the investigative report was printed in the Ft Wayne Journal Gazette. Dan Stockman(investigative reporter for the Journal Gazette)did a fine job.<BR/><BR/>It was too bad it took the Journal Gazette article for the people at New World Church to wake up and do something about what Archey was doing.<BR/><BR/>In the February 7, 2007 article in FROST ILLUSTRATED, (small Ft Wayne afro american paper) Archey states he was talking with the Union Baptist Church regarding that church taking over the suspended "Let's Talk Program" that had ended at New World several months prior to Archey being fired.<BR/><BR/>I contacted The Union Baptist Church...and so far no reply regarding the "Let's Talk Program" being operated at their Smith Street church.<BR/><BR/>I have kept an eye out for any press releases relating to The Union Baptist Church the "Let's Talk Program"....and...nothing so far.<BR/><BR/>Archey has also stated in the February 7, 2007 Frost Illustrated Article(if you would like a copy please contact me at graway925@yahoo.com...and I will gladly get you a copy of the articles)that he (Archey) has "stepped down" from Archey Aids Foundation. As Archey fully admits..he ran Archey Aids Foundation without the advise or consent of his board of directors. Operating a not for profit charity without consulting board members goes against all the ethical/moral/legal rules set up for the operation of not for profit organizations.<BR/><BR/>Archey also admitted the 1/7/2007 Journal Gazette article was accurate. I spoke with the woman who wrote the Frost Illustrated article. She told me Archey admitted to her I was on his board...and was his treasurer. <BR/><BR/>If people deal with Archey...they soon realize he says what he feels he needs to say to make things "sound okay" or that he is a victim of circumstances...or that is he unaware he was doing anything inappropriate or "wrong".<BR/><BR/>You see that sort of excuse may work once or twice..or even three times. The problem comes to the forefront when several people -who have been lied to in this same manner by ARCHEY- get together and talk...this is when it' quite apparent Archey knew he was deceiving people all along.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, after attempting to help Archey for a few months I began to notice he gave me different answers for the same question...you see...when a person lies...they need to remember what they said...if a person tells the truth..all they need do is recall what happened. <BR/><BR/>Archey Aids Foundation had little to do with helping others..it was more for the benefit of giving Archey a platform for his own person agenda. That agenda was to make DONALD ARCHEY a household name. WELL...in a way he has accomplished that. Do a GOOGLE search for Archey Aids Foundation and see what I mean. Also do one for Reverend Donald Archey...and also one for Pastor Donald Archey.<BR/><BR/>The Indiana State Attorney's office is slow...and takes it's time to investigate. So, since several weeks have gone by...people should not take this to mean the wheels of justice are not turning.<BR/><BR/>Archey fears being indicted...and he should have thought of this before he abused his authority/postition with the Archey Aids Foundation checkbook/checking accounts.<BR/><BR/>I say again...if anyone wishes to see documents I have regarding this matter...please contact me at GRAWAY925@YAHOO.COM<BR/><BR/>You all have a great Sunday.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-32190333209654287022007-02-10T14:52:00.000-05:002007-02-10T14:52:00.000-05:00Hi from Omaha, NE :I all so was told about this si...Hi from Omaha, NE :<BR/><BR/>I all so was told about this site and I wanted to say what a great JOB Pastor, Archey did here for us in Omaha!!<BR/><BR/> It was the largest crowd we have ever had at an HIV/AIDS event here in Omaha, NE and they all came out just to see Pastor, Archey.<BR/><BR/> Because of all the negative publicty some one sent hear to Omaha, by calling and sending out e-mail's about Pastor, Archey they give Pastor Archey a standing ovation for a long time!!!!<BR/><BR/> Pastor, Archey is one of best speaker's we have every heard, God is turley useing this man in a mighty way!!!<BR/><BR/> Pastor, Archey took the time out to meet and sign his photograph for all the people who came to see him, which took Pastor Archey all most two hours to do. After Pastor Archey had spoken for over an hour<BR/><BR/>I must say that Pastor Archey did look a litle weak but, that did not stop Pastor, Archey from going all over the city and meeting people who couldent waite to see him.<BR/><BR/>May God keep blessing Pastor Archey!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-21623715054339852462007-02-09T11:27:00.000-05:002007-02-09T11:27:00.000-05:00Hello Anonymous,I'm glad to see someone from Omaha...Hello Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see someone from Omaha, NE wrote. I would like to clarify one thing for you.<BR/><BR/>If you read the comments in this blog you will see several people outline their negative experiences with Archey/Archey Aids Foundation.<BR/><BR/> It's good to hear you appreciated what he had to say to your group.<BR/><BR/>I too have AIDS..so trust me...when I say that if someone is really good and doing as they say...GREAT...but...on the other hand we need to be careful that we're not being scammed. Sadly, that is the reputation AAF has earned over it's five years of being in existence. That is sad...because people doing good things is sorely needed in the struggle with HIV/AIDS.<BR/><BR/>If this deal with Union Baptist Church does work out...I trust all will be overseen in the right way...to protect the kids. Archey is quoted in the 2/7/2007 Frost Illustrated Article that Union Baptist church is most likely going to take over the KIDS PROGRAMS AAF was doing at New World Outreach at 2104 Miner St, Ft Wayne, IN.<BR/><BR/>In that same 2/7/2007 Frost Illustrated Article archey outlines his being fired as associate pastor of New World Church.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75406090492484428372007-02-08T21:45:00.000-05:002007-02-08T21:45:00.000-05:00Hello:I am from Omaha.

Here in Omaha were I work I let Pastor, Archey know we could use him here and I ask him if he would come back and stay.

Archey was voted ONE OF THE TOP 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL AFRICAN AMERICANS OF NORTHEAST INDIANA. He is co-founder of the Archey Aids Foundation.<BR/><BR/>Wednesday--A news converence featuring Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey and other community leaders will be held at 10a.m. at the Lake Pointe Building, 2401 Lake St.<BR/><BR/>Wednesday--A town hall meeting FEATURING ARCHEY will be held at Lake Pointe Building, 2401 Lake St., from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The meeting is free to the public and includes dinner. The theme is "Re-sound the Alarm; HIV/AIDS in Black America." A panel discussion will include Sharoon Renter, executive director of Nebraska AIDS Project; Dr. Richard Brown, CEO/executive director of Charles Drew Health Center; and Steven Jackson HIV/AIDS program manager for Nebraska Health and Human Services. Contact Mark Patten at 451-1066 for more information.<BR/><BR/>There are also events scheduled for Thursday, Friday & Saturday...none of which show Archey as being involved.(you should be able to pull up the press release by doing a web search for Pastor Donald Archey...or...Archey Aids Foundation....it is interesting to see all that is out there about AAF..so a good thing to take a look anyway.)<BR/><BR/>I checked out the TATE PUBLISHING website...and they do now show Donald Archey as being an author of a book...NOR...do they show a title of "Pastor, How Did You Get AIDS?" as being available.<BR/><BR/>I can find NO record of Donald Archey publishing ANY books...so therefore...HOW can Donald Archey be an "International Best Selling Author"?<BR/><BR/>I spoke with many of the people scheduled to participate in the events today...and I was told the panel may end up being ARCHEY only...this evening...and as I said in the earlier entry...the funding source for Archey's "honoraria" (aka speaking fee) canceled out Monday. My source is someone who works at HRSA...and KNOWS what they are talking about...so trust it. They are IN Nebraska...and involved in this drama.<BR/><BR/>I read the article done by Frost Illustrated...and it does appear as if Union Baptist Church may end up taking over the KIDS AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM at their Church on Smith St., Ft Wayne, IN I am EVER so pleased the kids may have a safe place to go after school. <BR/><BR/>My main concern was with the kids...and their wellbeing. If the Union Baptist Church takes over...I do feel safe in thinking they can make it a good experience for the kids.<BR/><BR/>You all take care,<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19005728547371875702007-02-07T20:20:00.000-05:002007-02-07T20:20:00.000-05:00GRETTINGS ALL,
There is a new article in the FROS...GRETTINGS ALL,<br /><br />There is a new article in the FROST ILLUSTRATED regarding ARCHEY/ARCHEY AIDS FOUNDATION. Frost is a local(Ft Wayne, IN) african american newspaper that comes out every two weeks.<br /><br />The article is for the most part fair. The only misquote from me...is that I did not help out with the "Let's Talk" program...but...helped ARCHEY with the "KIDS AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM" which had nothing to do at all with "Let's Talk".<br /><br />Also keep in mind when you read the article...that Archey and Robbin Melton have been friends for many years.....Also...Archey lists Robbin Melton as "board chair for Archey Aids Foundation" in the brochure handed out at the 10/2/2004 Mississippi Mass Choir event.<br /><br />MORE INTERESTING NEWS...Archey is in Omaha, Nebraska participating in the BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY events.<br /><br />I have had numerous conversations and shared emails back and forth with people who organized the events. I was told that after careful consideration...the group who was going to give Archey an "honorarium" backed out of their commitment yesterday...as well as the University of Nebraska...and people scheduled to speak at the event featuring Donald Archey this evening in Omaha.<br /><br />I was told today...that when something like this happens...it puts a negative mark against the groups sponsoring the events.<br /><br />A man who helped to initially set up the BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS events in Nebraska told me...the groups should have done a background search of ANY person coming in from outside the area who was going to have such an important role in the planned events.<br /><br />He was not sure if Omaha Mayor Fahey would back out as well....He told me Mayor Fahey was behind the BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS events...and again...he hoped the mayor would not back out because of Archey's involvement.<br /><br />I WAS PLEASED TO SEE...on page three of FROST ILUSTRATED..that other groups had planned BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY events here in Ft Wayne.<br /><br />I guess all this does beg the question...WHY did Archey need to travel all the way to Omaha, Nebraska...when he lives here in Ft Wayne?<br /><br />If there is anyone who attended the Omaha events...please let us know how it went today.<br /><br />Have a great evening..and STAY WARM...sure has been cold lately.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
