My Story

Picture of

Donald F. Dutkowski

This sinner was born in Regina Canada of Roman Catholic parents,

and as an infant was "dedicated" to become a Franciscan "Father".

At the age of thirteen, while attending Roman Catholic grade school,

I became suspicious of "The Church" because of the day to day

actions of the priests in charge of the school, and more so, from the

catechism lessons.

I found that all of the rituals, garb, and beliefs were either "borrowed"

from other religions or beliefs or just plain invented.

I have a cousin who is a Dominican priest and two uncles, both

Jesuits, stationed at the "Catholic Think Tank" in California.

After many hours of conversation with these clergy I left "The Church".

Discussions with ( the now late ) Archbishop Duke of Vancouver,

British Columbia, Canada did not bring me back in to the fold.

because ~

I Believe;

That Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to salvation.

That I should pray directly to God only through Jesus Christ.

That I am saved - through Jesus Christ - and I KNOW I am going

to heaven.

It is the OFFICIAL word of "The Church" that if any Roman

Catholic believes ANY of the above he or she is anathema, that is

condemned to hell for ever!

I Also Do Not Believe;

That the pope is infallible in matters of religion.

That salvation is achieved through the eucharist.

That Mary must be worshipped as God's mother.

That praying for the dead can help get them to heaven.

That I must confess "through a priest".

I am "in anathema", convicted to hell by the Roman Catholic

Church eight times over ! I have found, over the years

that there are MANY ROMAN CATHOLIC Clergy who agree with

Me on at least one of these eight points...... That leaves them

OFFICIALLY EXCOMMUNICATED from their church --- yet they

continue to say their daily mass, hear confessions, and give

out communion. Of course, the flock at the church either

do not know the priest's mind ---- or knowing his mind --- are

totally unaware that his mass, absolution, and communions

are, according to their church not only totally valueless, but

condemned !

Because of my experience with catholicism, from the age of fourteen to

thirty I passed through many phases. From Agnostic to Atheist, from Scientism,

to becoming a full Buddhist, only to realize that all these beliefs are valueless.

About the year 1977 my mother challenged me !

She asked me what I knew about THE BIBLE !

I felt like an illiterate! ~~ and indeed I was, as far as

THE BIBLE was concerned! Having been brought up as

a Roman Catholic I had, for all practical purposes, NO

BIBLE TRAINING WHATSOEVER !

I solved that problem by obtaining a Bible from a local

used book store ( I was surprised when the store keeper

refused money for it! ) and began to "devour" every page.

THIS BOOK had to be either the greatest fabrication in history

OR IT WAS INDEED WHAT IT PURPORTED TO BE ~ THE

VERY WORDS OF GOD !

I wrote to, or otherwise contacted, every religious institution

I could locate. Anglican, Baptist, Charismatic, Reformed, Nazarene

and others. I requested Bible lessons -- and Bible lessons I got !

I studied, filled in Q & A forms, mailed them, received telephone

calls, and had conversations with many lay people and Clergy.

I discussed with, and "sat in" on debates between, some of the Faculty

of the Theology Department of the The University of British Columbia

and four Rabbi, held at the Jewish Community Centre, Oak street,

Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I utilized the vast library to the extent

I was asked if I would like to be one of the library staff !

Final Results ? I found The Book IS THE BOOK !

After some months I was able to organize my home and business

life so that I could study with an accredited theological institute.

This I did, and because of my being starved for so many years,

immersed myself in study "to the uttermost".

After passing all the examinations and written thesis, I was

momentarily satisfied, so put my diplomas in to storage, and

returned to the "dollar" world.

I was interested in so called "secret societies" from the day my

dad showed me his ornate sword, hat and cape. He was a

fourth degree member of the "Knights Of Columbus". Many years

later I found that my brother had been a third degree "Knight" !

All very secret. I studied all of the so called secret oaths,

handshakes, and books of the many degrees of the Masonic

Orders, up to and BEYOND the thirty third degree.

"Adoptives" such as the I.O.O.F., Foresters, etc. were included

in my studies. The offshoot religion of the Masonic Order, The

Mormons, was particularly easy to delve in to because ALL of their

so called secrets have been published. Because of personal

involvement I also spent much time studying various Cults and

religions.

My area of "expertise" is therefore

Religions, Cults, and Secret Societies.

After many years of business world activity I began to notice

that the television and newspapers were echoing some of the

things I had read and studied about in the Bible.

Cultural changes around the world and activities in Israel in

particular.

Many people are crying out for help, totally lost as to where they

are, were they are going, and what to do next. Families are in

disarray and with no leadership. The world is moving faster and

faster, but going downhill, not up !

This ministry is my small contribution.
