Lamplighter Ministries (a church) hosted a travelling theatre group and a musical (PILGRIM) and three friends and I attended today. It was held at a different location from the church itself. The production was wonderful! Many thanks to Lamplighter Ministries for offering this. I would love to return to Mt. Morris someday and visit the church itself.

I was stopping by on a Saturday but they usually are not open. The owner was nice enough to be me a quick tour. The main house is a book store containing shelf among shelf of books that were printing and bound at this location. the place specializes in out of print books that tend to have a religious bent to various degrees. We walked next door to the church building where the press and binding equipment is present. Walking into the main area, we find a stage where they have occasional singers, rows of storage shelves for books and a hidden alcove inside the old piano where they use as a recording studio for doing their audio books. If you enjoy handcrafted books from the past, this is a nice place to check out. Upon leaving the owner gave me a copy of a book she thought I might like. "The Painted Fly" by Chrisoph von Schmid from 1851. He was a priest who wrote children's stories in Bavaria. I haven't read it yet but I look forward to doing so.

We love lamplighter products! The stories are so well written and dramatized that we have to say they are the best we have ever heard! Great moral stories of Christian character and grand adventure. Our kids love them, the adults do too!

Ask ANYONE in Mount Morris: I guarantee you’ll get the earful of a lifetime. I’m not saying any more because they’ll have this review and my whole account removed AGAIN. You can’t trust the Internet: Lamplighter is too well connected. ASK THE LOCALS. ASK THE TOWN OFFICIALS AND THE COUNTY OFFICIALS (ALSO IN MOUNT MORRIS).Update: As if going out of their way to confirm what I'm saying, Lamplighter has removed their Google page from the Google search results, making it harder for anyone to see this review, unless they use Google Maps. SO PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND SPREAD THE WORD. WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH USING PEOPLE.

They should be called Gaslighter. I still have PTSD from when I tried to report a libelous coworker (who actually confessed to me her tendency to falsely disparage my work, a characteristic which I can document she shares in common with the office person) and, rather than bring her in to explain her actions which I came to report, her two supervisors stood over me with unmistakable grins on their faces (and you can hear it in the audio recording which I can produce) telling me I was making "accusations", that I was wrong (again without even calling in the allegedly libelous coworker), and ultimately firing me (still grinning monstrously). And then later (after I scored them on Google reviews) they would try to pretend that I had been scaring them. So yeah, this is easily the most toxic organization I have ever worked with. As a self-taught student of, and for this purpose a periodic participant in, cults (see the BITE model or simply look for the narcissist on top [that is, a person who never sincerely compliments others unless they have some mechanistically strategic reason]), I find that "Lamplighter Ministries" (or rather LAMPLIGHTER INTERNATIONAL INC) is nothing if not a hierarchy of delusional and/or sociopathic radicals, but they get away with it (leaving aside for the moment the possibility of hidden ties) because they hide their wackier doctrines behind more mainstream Christian teachings paired with banal pop culture to diffuse critical thinking. (Oops, didn't work on me.) UPDATE: I made the original Google review after, as I narrate above, they physically intimidated then fired me in retaliation for reporting a coworker trying to add lies about me to my weekly employee review then admitting she'd lied. Their whole game had then become one of faking that they were afraid of me when it was they who had physically menaced me, while I was seated the entire time (you read that correctly) and kept answering their repetitive questions and correcting their repeated misstatements during which they, standing, cornered me. When they saw this Google review, Lamplighter's top person breached a contract with me as well as evicting me their tenant (the tax record showed that the house was owned by "Lamplighter Ministries Intem" ["I-n-t-e-m"]) WITH ONE HOUR'S NOTICE (see photo of text message) prior to the end of our verbal contract. It was totally worth it though. This breach of verbal contract was no sort of isolated incident: I've documented daily-plus falsehoods often secreted until my Friday "performance review" charade, always defaming and disparaging my work or character, clearly threatened by my vastly superior skill set (in both typography and general bindery) but unable to admit it to themselves. And then this Emmy-worthy cast of characters turns around and feigns shock about this review. Delusional prima donnas to the last. When I complained and the peace officer wanted to speak with their leader, the latter got into his rancher costume and even walked bow-legged. I've never seen such a con-artist-level fear of truth in my life. I am starting to talk with public officials and find my experience corroborated and my suspicion that they never wanted to hire me long-term very nearly confirmed as well.

Driving up to visit a state park as our last opportunity before they were closed we greatly enjoyed listening to all 4 tracks of "Frozen Fire" with my 10 year old daughter. I am amazed at the quality of the actors, such talent and, above all, for God's glory. Thank you Lamplighter Ministries for this free resource and now my daughter wants to continue listening to your wonderful books!
