Agents from ASP and FBI agents raid the Tony Alamo Ministries compound Saturday in Fouke, Ark.
At least they haven't carted all the kids away this time.

Wonder if Alamo will spin the media just like Warren Jeffs’ lawyers did too...

Thats where the "Legend of Boggy Creek" was filmed.
Probably has them on retainer.
You guys remember good ole Tony Alamo, don’t you ?
No. Don’t know anything about him. What do you remember him for?
He started out in Saugus, CA in the late 60’s. Sadly, 2 brothers that I knew in high school joined his cult.
Tony & Susan Alamo had law problems there also.
Who could forget the Alamo?
Does this dude have the same landscaper as Michael Jackson?
Jeanne Philyaw, who lives next to the ministries’ property, said the raid “was a long time coming.”
“I’m on the edge of tears. It’s both for joy and frustration,” she said. “How can people not know what was going on with Tony Alamo’s history?

Can someone expound on this for those of us who have never heard of this guy? Thanks!
He was the king of sequined denim jackets.
He and his wife used to live in Nashville. He owned a famous clothing store, The Alamo. When Susan died I remember seeing him on tv, crying and saying she was going to be resurrected. He’s a true wacko.
Well I read the article, and there was no reference to the evidence they had to conduct the search, only that one had been carried out.
This Alamo guy could be a sleaze, to indict and convict the man by a few vague comments from the neighbors is not American IMO.
This could be a replay of the FLDS stuff with the B$ phone call from a Obama supporter kicking the whole thing off.
I say this because the idea is starting to form that Churches are fair game for innuendo based searches that amount to little more then trial by media.
That was my thought as well.
Most christians believe in a resurrection. Does that make them wackos? Or is it because of other things not mentioned in your post?
LOL! The reference would be hard to pass up for a reporter, or an editor.
He was trying to have her resurrected for months right after she died. I should have been more specific. I am definitely a Christian and believe in resurrection, but not by a so called preacher.
