My name is Craig Rogers, and I am the Executive Director of Abundant Life Academy. First I want to applaud Fornit's forum, and thank them for their commitment to help good intentioned people to expose the fraudulent practices of some specialty school programs.
I am sure that the moderator, as well as the viewers of this forum, are aware that not all posts are legitimate. We all have to take each and every post, including mine, with a grain of salt realizing that the words written may not accurately reflect the facts or truth. In essence, we should all be aware that even cowards with a bone of contention can enter a forum and write anything they want regardless of the truth.
I am not going to dignify the original post from "anonymous" with a response. The first notion that we all should get regarding the originator of the original post is that he is, and remains, anonymous. This is the first of mainy issues that discredit his statements.
Moreover, I happen to know that this post comes from a former associate who was let go because he had committed some inappropriate acts that were not in alignment with our purposes and vision (I can tell by his broken english and improper grammer). It is unfortunate that he feels compelled to lie and slander, but there is nothing we can or will do to stop him. He discredits himself better then we can. I wish him the best, and pray that he will focus on providing for his family, and I hope that he will find peace in his life.
It is sad to see this man, who was once very powerful, deteriate under the stress that has been caused by his own lack of integrity and untruthfullness.
At Abundant Life Academy we do great things for our students, their family's, and the community in general. Because we do, we realize that we will always be attacked by those who are unstable and wounded. Unfortunately, people like this person will always be around and we cant take time away from the greater picture and address their every move.
We just have to trust that people like the originator of this post will come to their senses and learn to be truthful and have integrity. We pray for people like this because they need our mercy and forgiveness.
One final thing... we have nothing to hide, and are an open book for all who have a desire to investigate. And, I refuse to make comments about people and places I have never seen or experienced. May all people who visit this forum take the responsibilty to speak from personal experience and not pass along gossip or unsubstantiated slander. Jesus, as my defender, I trust.
God bless,
Craig Rogers
