Normally, I would not create a blog or forum post about disputes over racquetball calls, but this time I will because I find it more disturbing than usual. On Monday, Nov. 9, 2015 (drop-in racquetball), I was playing doubles at the Mill Woods Recreation Centre in Edmonton. My partner was Gloria Ferguson. She was playing the right side. I played the left side. I was serving. We were playing Mike Biggs on the left and Wayne Woiken on the right. During the rally, a fast shot came to Gloria. She swung and missed. The ball didn't change direction, but went straight through and hit Wayne's foot before the second bounce. That it hit his foot was not in question by any of us. So I motioned for a point going back to the service box because it was obvious.

Then Wayne said the ball hit Gloria, but Gloria said the ball neither hit her nor her racquet. The ball didn't change direction. I asked Mike what he thought. He said he thought it hit her, but as it turns out what he claimed was not the same spot that Wayne said hit her. So we have conflicting information from Wayne and Mike. What I saw was the ball went straight through never changing direction. I was right there watching it the whole time. Certainly, the ball would have changed direction if it hit Gloria or her racquet. It was moving quite fast which is why Wayne was not able to move out of the way in time.

I suggested we replay the point. At that moment Wayne Woiken turned into a big baby. This all happened in just a few seconds. He stormed off the court in a huffy puff. Totally immature! I told him to get back on the court, stop being a big baby. He said, I beat them bad enough, and I don't need more points against him. I said, we had a civil conversation about whether the ball hit Gloria or not, there is no need to be immature about it. He is just being a drama queen. After Wayne came off the court, I told him he can have the rally. We don't care about points. Instead of Mike Biggs standing up for what was right, he quit playing also. Gloria and I just kept playing. Wayne and Mike went to the change room and didn't play again that evening.

Later, Gloria and I were sitting together, talking. Wayne and Mike came out of the change room, walked by, and Wayne said that I didn't even ask Gloria if the ball hit her which is of course not true. During our conversation on the court after the rally, I asked Gloria if the ball hit her, and she said the ball did not hit her. That is why I thought to be fair we should do a replay since Gloria and I didn't think the ball hit her. She reiterated her position off the court as well. So Wayne is confused! He accused me of calling him a baby which is not quite accurate. I called him more appropriately a "big baby". Then Wayne trying to rationalize his flesh further, said, he comes to play racquetball to have fun. So get this...he is blaming me for his not having fun. Wow! What a dick! I told him, I don't care about the points, he can have the rally, whatever he wants as I said before. I should have also said as Wayne was leaving the club that he is the one who is taking the fun out of racquetball by storming off the court like a big baby when he doesn't get his way. Instead of replaying the point he wants everything! That's selfish. He seemed like he was in a bad mood earlier, complaining about my singing, "Gloria, Gloria, I think I got your number" by Laura Branigan. Funny. Fortunately, Gloria came to my rescue when Wayne's nose was out of joint by defending my awesome singing. Actually Wayne is right, I am not a good singer.


Doesn't Gloria's opinion, or mine, matter on the court? Is it only what Wayne thinks that matters? That is very self-centered! It's time to grow up! Maybe he doesn't like losing to women. He made Gloria feel bad too, because she asked me if I thought it was something she did wrong why Wayne was behaving like this. Gloria and I always beat them. Who knows what his problem is. Man can't read the spirit of another person. I hope he grows up and loses some weight while he is at it. He is gargantuous and so is Mike. This is absolutely the sin of gluttony. There is nothing worse than a self-righteous fat man or fat woman judging you (e.g. John Halko, Barbara May). They should stop judging others, banning them from Alberta Racquetball, and judge themselves. Why are all the overweight racquetball players atheists?

The truth of the matter, Wayne was exhausted, and his ego is huge. He just finished winning a game barely 16-14 against Bernie Grumpelt and Joe Tam who are going to Calgary to play in a tournament this weekend. Normally it would not be this close. Wayne and Mike are not going. Bernie and Joe did really well, almost beating Mike and Wayne. Wayne looked exhausted, sweating profusely and didn't really have much left in him to play Gloria and myself. We were up 4-0 when he stormed off the court. It seems the real issue is he was just tired mentally and physically, so he shouldn't have played. Don't create some false pretense why you want off the court. Wayne says he doesn't enjoy racquetball as much on Mondays because he has to work on Tuesdays, and that he prefers Thursday drop-ins because he doesn't have to work on Fridays. Maybe he shouldn't play on Monday if he doesn't enjoy it and stop blaming others if he is going to throw hissy fits. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions or control his emotions. He must have had a bad day at work and is taking it out on me. Forensics is not exactly a stress free environment. I hate it when people take their work onto the court, doesn't make it much fun. He is taking the fun out of racquetball. He said to me he is retiring early because it is too stressful for him.

I would also like to point out that Mike and Wayne are not Christians so they are atheists. Gloria has been a Mormon all her life. She is not a Christian either, but that is beside the point. The hostility of non-Christians will take various forms, doing strange and bizarre things, because these atheists and non-Christians know that according to the Bible Christians know they are going to Hell for rejecting Christ.


Other Disturbing Affairs

About a year prior to this John Halko, atheist and board member of Alberta Racquetball, sent a complaint to Racquetball Canada accusing me of religious discrimination with no points of evidence for his accusation. Just vague! How can someone discriminate against John's religion when he doesn't disclose his faith? He is only using this line because he is himself committing religious discrimination by banning a Christian from sanctioned tournaments in Alberta since 2009. Terry Nelson for Racquetball Canada technical rejected John's complaint letter. To repeat, it is John Halko that is engaged in religious discrimination, banning a Christian from sanctioned tournaments in Alberta Racquetball since 2009 and continuing to this day. The unethicalness of the atheist Barbara May, also a board member, lied to protect her hide in 2009 to cover up her own negligence to the detriment of and at the expense of a Christian. I find this to be extremely unethical! Her and John are atheist partners in crime. I have given them the gospel of salvation multiple times to no avail so they are without excuse. God judges them they are going to Hell. These atheists are not as passive as they would like you to believe. Her and John even got me banned from the Mayfield Athletic Club after playing there several months in 2012 when I never did anything wrong. They have aggressive evil hearts! The Bible calls them Nicolaitans because they seek power unethically. God's judgment came down upon them within a month after banning that the facility would be closed down by the end of the year and replaced by hotel rooms. God keeps judging and they continue not to heed His word to repent. That's why God uses sickness to urge people to repent because nothing else will work. It happened after a UFC fighter who played racquetball threatened me with physical harm because I asked him, I hear you are a Christian when were you born-again? And he said he was never born-again. I told him to read John 3. That's when he physically threatened me with bodily harm.

As a Christian I have turned the other cheek, letting them stir in their sin nature. That's what Christians do after we try to correct them. I have not retaliated, but let them stir in their hostility. Racquetball Canada rejected John Halko's many attempts to try to get me banned from Racquetball Canada. Not sure how many letters that is now. John Halko is practicing religious discrimination! A year before that the President of Racquetball Canada, Jack McBride, sent a similar complaint letter because he too is not a Christian and is hostile since I am born-again and accepted Jesus is God. Jesus our Lord said, "Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil for the Son of Man's sake" (Luke 6.22). Amen. I am blessed. I asked him if he is a Christian? He said, Yes. I asked then so do you believe Jesus is God? At that point he was belligerent with me since he rejected Jesus is God. Christians believe in the Trinity. Jack McBride does not so Jack is going to Hell according to the Bible. I said to Jack plainly he is not a Christian because he rejects who Jesus truly is. Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels" (Mark 8.38). Because Jack does not confess who Jesus truly is, but presents a false Christ, Jesus said He will deny Jack before the Father in Heaven. Therefore, Jack is going to Hell according to God's holy and righteous word. The probability of Jack giving his life to Christ is so slim. He is around 80 now. I have never met anyone that old who gave their life to Christ. He had 70 years to do so; he would have done so already by now. How sad for him that this is the type of person he wants to be. Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 10.32,33). "Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me" (Matt. 12.30).

This reminds me of when Cam Bourque in 2009 challenged me to a fight outside of the Mayfield Athletic Club in Edmonton over some call. I have not found much morality in the racquetball community in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for years now. It is sad really. No wonder why participation rates have collapsed. It all starts with John Halko and Barbara May with their evil deeds! I have only touched the surface of what I have known about some racquetball players throughout the years, e.g. the abusive behavior and physical assaults of Danny Tarrabain, Wayne Davidson, Dan McCullough, Cliff Hendrickson, and John Halko. Cam Bourque is hostile to me because he emailed dozens of people claiming I was a lunatic for being a Christian to which I replied, who is the real lunatic when Cam cheats on his wife? Cam cheated on his wife with a woman I had sex with. Of course Cam denies it publically, but if we were to bring Michelle Scheepers forward she would admit it. She told me she had sex with Cam. Dan McCullough and Cam told me Cam had sex with her. I could care less, I only point out there is no love in doing that to your wife. A Christian would not do that. So Cam must be the lunatic! We both agreed to one another the sex was not even that good (no offense to Michelle) as another point of evidence. And you can be sure this was not the only time Cam cheated on his wife. I feel sorry for his wife, because she doesn't know the type of person Cam really is; or, maybe she does and puts up with it. Either way, not what I would call a true loving relationship by someone who is antichrist. I believe Cam had a hand in trying to get me banned from Alberta Racquetball in 2009 so I take exception to his unethical behavior. My prayer is one day he gives his life to Christ for nothing is better. Praise the Lord!

I wonder if his hostility stems from the fact he has never beat me at racquetball. Or that he wanted to have sex with another woman named Carrie-Lynn Savard while Cam was married whom he hired to work for him cleaning computers. When he heard I had sex with Carrie-Lynn, he was jealous, because she is quite petite and cute and would not have sex with Cam. Cam Bourque is an atheist, and I am simply comparing the actions of an atheist with that of a Christian. Dan McCullough also an obese racquetball player (Cam calls him "240 Gordy") and atheist is mad at me too, because I told Carrie-Lynn that Dan likes being coy which is true. Dan said he wished I didn't say that to her because he was trying to get in her pants too. Funny. She began to realize this about Dan and his "Seth" cult he is involved in in which he communicates with evil spirits. Dan wanted to have sex with her too and put in many months attempting to do so, but to no avail, so over time his jealousy ate away at him. A year later Carrie-Lynn told me she was never attracted to Dan. He worked hard at trying to get in her pants as did Cam Bourque. Everything I said here is 100% true. She and I didn't work out because I didn't like how she treated her son. She was hurt by this and that was it. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, but on the other hand, addressing a problem early on is probably best. This is turning into my online diary instead of about the underhanded behavior of Wayne Woiken, John Halko and Barbara May.

The obesity in racquetball is a big problem: Barbara May, John Halko, Manny Gregorio, Gordon Cutting, Marc Caouette, Mike McPhee, Wayne Davidson, Ryan Blackmore (he has quite a belly as of late), Danny Tarrabain, Dan McCullough, Gerry Slamko, Wayne Woiken, and Mike Biggs to name a few. I am looking forward to seeing who loses the weight first. What's the connection between obesity and racquetball? You would think after Marc had cancer he would take care of himself or Mike McPhee after he had heart surgery. They are as big as ever! We all know the #1 cause of health problems is obesity. If people would just get to their proper weight lots of problems would be solved. It's like they are trying to commit suicide slowly. What do they all have in common? They all reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior so the evil spirit is always working in their inner man. The Holy Spirit does not enter through the window of their conscience to rest in their spirit. So what is needed to fill the hole in their lives?

New birth—receiving God’s own life—is the starting point of all spiritual life. How useless it is if the end result of all our exhortation, persuasion, argument, explanation and study is but to induce some understanding in the mind, some determination in the will, some feeling in the emotion. It has not assisted people to receive God’s life into their spirit. But if we who are responsible for preaching the gospel truly perceive that unless people receive God’s life into the depths of their beings we have not done anything profitable, then what a drastic reformation will there be in our work! Indeed, such knowledge will bring us to the realization that many who do profess to believe in the Lord Jesus have never actually done so. Tears, penitence, reform, zeal and labor: these are not the hallmarks of a Christian. Happy are we if we know that our responsibility is to bring man to receive God’s uncreated life.

Don't you just love these atheist and non-Christian racquetball players! They are such lovely people.
