This morning I called Detective Foster and asked him a question. "Are you a member of Woodland Hills Church"? His response was that is an irrelevant question. My response was...IF YOU ARE, YOU HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. To which he says again it's an irrelevant question. WELL IS IT? If he is a MEMBER or goes there and is involved in HARRASING ME, isn't this a conflict of interest?
Please, give it up before you end up in prison for the heinous act of upsetting some Chad. I don't remember if you said what the negative remark is, but IMHO they deserve all the negative remarks they get.
https://www.facebook.com/woodhills/reviews Scroll down. It's the second from the top currently. Feel free to comment. You'll need a Fakebook account, so if you don't have one don't worry about it.
One other thing. The three sermons that I heard were AWESOME. Ted Cunningham has a way to deliver that the people listening are blessed by and he is also quite humorous the way he slips in the parables that are easy to follow. The man who delivered the sermon before the 1st was also AWESOME. He must be under Teds tutelage or visa versa because they were very similar in their delivery. I was blessed by both of them. I should have taken note of his name. Shay comes to mind. Wish I could come back, but if I did, I'd be arrested and put in a cage for doing so. I forgive you Scott. In Jesus name.
Why would I say no? Well because I came there with a heavy burden on my heart to share the awesome gift my heavenly Father has blessed me with. The gift of a wonderful powerful baritone voice that stirs the hearts of listeners when I minister songs of praise to them. Father had me going around the country and recording albums to glorify Him and He blessed me with the blessings that others received from it. So I went there, and was thinking that I should be able to approach the music ministers with some sort of exhibit in the way of a CD or F drive. Somehow in the process I received a note from a secretary that works for the church telling me that I will be disappointed because basically I wouldn't be able to minister. Because I felt Father behind my effort I started asking questions and was eventually approached by Scott who said in no certain terms that there was a PROCESS and it seems I was trying to circumvent it. Well, yes, I guess I was. I have a problem with "processes" that are put in the way of God's servants.
I end up getting a phone call from Scott and I'm told that he sees that I'm not going to "follow protocol" so DON'T COME BACK. You are BANNED "until further notice" from even setting foot on the property! My response was one of well that's great, I can see it now if I do...Mark Reynolds, arrested for wanting to go to church. Mark Reynolds on trial because he insisted on coming to listen to sermons and SCOTT had said he couldn't. The end result? A PHONE CALL FROM BRANSON POLICE THREATENING ME WITH ARREST IF I WERE TO STEP FOOT ON THE CHURCH PROPERTY!
I don't know about you, but I have a sneaking suspicion that JESUS would not have wanted to have me arrested for coming to his assemblies with a want in my heart to sing PRAISES TO HIM AND MY HEAVENLY FATHER to BLESS THOSE WHO WOULD LISTEN!! So, now you've heard my side of a story that I'm almost in complete shock I can be writing. Tell Scott I forgive him. In Jesus name. Realize this...there were NO threats what so ever. No foul language, nothing that I did or said should be treated as a reason for keeping me and my wonderful wife from attending services.
I want to add this...my wife insisted on examining all of the Email correspondence that I had sent to the church. Well, I finally broke down and let her, mainly because I didn't want her to think I had wrote something inflammatory to them. Anyhow, she read it all and said she couldn't figure out for the life of her why they banned me. But as she was reading, I was also reading over her shoulder and I figured it out. It was a question. The question was...Is Woodhills just a place interested in how much money they can make and only use professional performers like Matt Gumm or Clay Cooper to minister? I'm curious. THIS HIT A NERVE BECAUSE IT WAS AND IS THE TRUTH!
Oh, you and me both. I can hardly count all the skulduggery I have seen in the name of "organized religion". Luckily, I was never a party to it, have been booted out of a dozen places, and still sleep peacefully at night.
Here would be a good response. If EVERYONE who reads this post were to call 417 336 5452 and either talk to someone or leave a message that says simply...can someone remove the block on Reynolds Arnold Mark (that's my Fakebook persona) so he can take down the negative review that he put up? Nothing else, just that, let's see what happens! As long as you don't engage someone in a lengthy debate or do or say anything other than what I just suggested, what could they do? Maybe a SWAT team will storm my home to arrest me for, well, who knows what? Talk about a ludicrous situation. As for Scott...well maybe I'll give out his number next. After all, he must not have thought it was so "private" if he was willing to call me from it instead of the church phone, because he had to realize I'd end up with the number, right? Or maybe he is just that dumb. This whole situation makes me think that might be the major issue. And as for Detective Foster? Here is his number 417-677-6485. Maybe you could ask him a couple of questions. One...Are you a member of Woodland Hills and two can you please ask someone at Woodland Hills to remove the block on Mark so he can remove the negative review?
To me from what you’ve explained, it seems like they would turn a casual greeting into something bad and harassing
I’ve seen people like this before I would stay as far away from them and no matter how right you are they will turn it into wrong. They don’t live in reality only of their making.
It seems they want you to get caught up in their court system
We all get treated badly by others at times; and it hurts when you know you are innocent. Remember the time a neighbor called the police instead of talking to the parents concerning what one of the children said? Boy, that could have blown up big time! In this instance you irritated a bully who thinks he is protecting this church somehow. Your confident stance in this new place was most unwelcome. Who knows why, really, as no one will say. (I can't help but wonder how they'd treat an autistic man who didn't quite fit in there.) And of course, now you seek to defend yourself/territory. They must want the negative review to stay. or they don't want to give you what you want. I'd think you more courageous if you just drop it at this point—it's not worth the cost. But, I still have the desire to go there, stand across the street with a picket sign that says "BEWARE the BULLY LURKS WITHIN."
Today is January 14 and I have yet to receive a response from the church asking why they have banned Mark. It’s almost as if you are trapped in some sort of weird comedy, or like you said maybe a twilight zone episode. That sheriff has no standing whatsoever to charge you with any sort of felony harassment. In my opinion, he’s harassing you. You might want to lawyer up my friend. And this whole situation reeks of corruption, simply noting that the sheriff appears to be in the back pocket of this church. I wonder what’s really going on at this church? Perhaps they should be investigated a little further.
Looks like the review is gone? When I clicked on the link, I got an error page. When I went to the Reviews tab on the organization's FB page, I didn't see it.
I understand that when you are suffering injustice, it is sometimes so incomprehensible, that you feel like, "if I could just explain this to someone in charge, they would see how ridiculous this all is" (I am channeling my own experience with family courts here), but, for your own mental health, I think you should just walk away from these crazy people, and their crazy policies.
It energizes the LION in me. It's MY negative review. And I want to REMOVE MY negative review. They don't have the RIGHT to stop me. Read Facebooks "rules' on reviews. The whole IDEA behind them and the company not being able to remove them is to get them to ENGAGE with the person that made the negative review. And in case you haven't figured it by NOW...Most people are just mediocre minded cowardly conformists because it's comfortable and simple. I'M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. And if you ARE that's your choice. You can read the review at the link I posted.
I’m with you on this one. If someone pokes me, I’m gonna poke back about 100 times harder. And I don’t sit down and take shit from anybody. Especially when I know 100% that they are in the wrong. Someone messes with me, my family and friends, my dogs they are going to get a lioness in their face.
BRAVO LIONESS! That’s the way it SHOULD be, but our whole society has turned into society of WIMPS and TYRANTS. And this one take the cake. I want to REMOVE the negative post and I’m treated like that is harassment? As one commenter said…it seems to me that you are being harassed and being caused emotional stress.
I’ve been TRYING to wipe my feet off. I want to wipe them off the Facebook page too. I hope you understand. And since I can only go by what I feel the Lord is leading me to do, that’s what I’m doing. Bless you too @Elusive1. One other thing... I had a rather poignant vision of that fellowship building being vacant and no one going there. Why would the Lord put that one in my head? I'm not personally looking to see something like that happen, but maybe...HE is? They don't realize what they are doing by letting this drag on. One person shows one other. Ever do the math when something gets going and how fast a rumor can spread?
SOMEBODY has made it abundantly clear. I think this is lingering on so that many others will disagree with that somebody. I’d just like it to end without my white flag of truce being filled with so many bullet holes.
Vinnie, after my wife and I looked at all of the correspondence that I had sent via Email to Savohna, who it appears reads the Email sent directly to the church Email address, here is what we found that I'm convinced had the effect it did on whoever was behind this be it Scott or someone else...Is Woodhills just a place interested in how much money they can make and only use professional performers like Matt Gumm or Clay Cooper to minister? I'm curious. THE TRUTH behind that was what caused this whole issue.
Ah yes, I have been in the twilight zone too. One fine day, while exiting a park, this cop with lights on is pursuing me, and I have no idea why. I pull into a housing development and come to a stop. He stops way behind me, and does not exit his vehicle. I exit mine, and am walking towards him, when a second cop roars to a stop in front of me, and jumps out, wielding his pistol. And, while 20 people are watching, I just stand there and ask him why he is pointing a gun at me. Then I get charged with "driving faster than reasonably prudent, fleeing and evading, running a stop sign, and two other charges so nonsensical I cannot recall them." Well, my case went to court, and I defended myself, and the cop made such a fool of himself on the stand, with plenty of help from two woke DAs, that the Judge had no choice but to dismiss everything. And the one female black DA was so exaserbated that she tossed my whole file on a desk, and then left, forgetting about it. So I got to see my whole history, and everything the network has on me- or any Joe Citizen- and most people would be dumbfounded how easily they can make innuendo fact, and destroy a person's reputation. (And in all subsequent cases, they want to try and prove me mentally unbalanced, because God forbid I defend myself no matter how much they stack the jury.
The Biden Codex: A Farewell to the Republic, A Call to Revolution
Fellow Americans, Scholars, and Seekers of Truth,
On January 19, 2025, Joseph R. Biden Jr. delivered a farewell address unlike any other in U.S. history. Beneath the polished language lies a message encoded for the 99%—a final plea to awaken to the oligarchic tyranny overtaking the nation.
The Economic Reality: Beneath the Façade
Trump’s second inauguration on January 20, 2025, signals the full subjugation of governance to corporate overlords, symbolized by Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Thiel flanking Trump. Biden’s address dissected Trump’s promises:
1. Lower Taxes for the Working Class: A mirage. Tariffs on essentials will escalate costs while billionaires enjoy tax cuts.
2. Affordable Living: Protectionist policies will inflate prices, funneling revenue to corporations like BlackRock and JP Morgan.
3. Public Services: Drastic cuts to healthcare, education, and infrastructure will fund tax breaks for the 1%.
This is class warfare, cloaked in populist rhetoric.
The Sociopolitical Context: Divide and Conquer
Biden exposed the illusion of partisanship, noting both parties’ ties to elite interests:
• The Democrats, too, have succumbed, as shown by the corporate-backed Kamala Harris campaign.
• Biden’s admission of impotence wasn’t failure; it was a calculated spark to ignite collective rage among the 99%.
The address urged Americans to reject tribalism and unite against the true enemy: the 1%.
This morning I called Detective Foster and asked him a question. "Are you a member of Woodland Hills Church"? His response was that is an irrelevant question. My response was...IF YOU ARE, YOU HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. To which he says again it's an irrelevant question. WELL IS IT? If he is a MEMBER or goes there and is involved in HARRASING ME, isn't this a conflict of interest?
Sounds like a conflict to me.
Please, give it up before you end up in prison for the heinous act of upsetting some Chad. I don't remember if you said what the negative remark is, but IMHO they deserve all the negative remarks they get.
This is why I hate organized religion.

I'm not on fakebook, therefore it will not let me look at their site. Thanks anyway!
Not being on Fakebook is a good thing. For sure. I'm on there about twice a week typically because of a job I have.
These copies were posted opposite of posting… read second one first…
Ok. 👍

It seems like you’re getting harassment and obvious emotional distress
It seems to me this church is just out to make money Has nothing to do with Jesus Christ he’s just the product they’re using
Right? Absolutely. I’m a Jesus thorn in their side.
To me from what you’ve explained, it seems like they would turn a casual greeting into something bad and harassing
I’ve seen people like this before I would stay as far away from them and no matter how right you are they will turn it into wrong. They don’t live in reality only of their making.
It seems they want you to get caught up in their court system

The love of my life writes. 49 years with me gives her insight most will never have.
Today is January 14 and I have yet to receive a response from the church asking why they have banned Mark. It’s almost as if you are trapped in some sort of weird comedy, or like you said maybe a twilight zone episode.

It’s a detective not a Sheriff just for the sake of brevity. Detective Foster. I don’t know what he detects, it sure isn’t truth.

I miss your writing about real issues.
I’m going back to real issues here really quick as soon as my blood pressure subsides! Link works for me Alexis … https://www.facebook.com/woodhills/reviews
Walk TF AWAY!
Can't cure or reason with ignorance, why beat your head against a wall and/ or upset your family any further?
Seems the post you wrote hit s nerve AND whatever you wrote...
Seems proving itself true.
Why continue to ask for or wish to engage with ignorance, I wonder?
It energizes the LION in me. It's MY negative review. And I want to REMOVE MY negative review. They don't have the RIGHT to stop me. Read Facebooks "rules' on reviews.

Cool, was curious...
What the endgame or purpose was...
Everyone need pick their battles...
This battle picked me. I never went looking for a battle. I was just looking to be a participant in something I do well.
Got it, perhaps its better for your psyche to seek a place and people who want and appreciate you...
The group has made it abundantly clear they are closed mentally...
The desire to associate or open the minds of...
this group?
Kinda clear they don't deserve you..
SOMEBODY has made it abundantly clear. I think this is lingering on so that many others will disagree with that somebody. I’d just like it to end without my white flag of truce being filled with so many bullet holes.
Vinnie, after my wife and I looked at all of the correspondence that I had sent via Email to Savohna, who it appears reads the Email sent directly to the church Email address, here is what we found that I'm convinced had the effect it did on whoever was behind this be it Scott or someone else...Is Woodhills just a place interested in how much money they can make and only use professional performers like Matt Gumm or Clay Cooper to minister? I'm curious. THE TRUTH behind that was what caused this whole issue.
So there you have it...
Good for you...and, as some of us readers thought...
Good for you to not waste your time, they didn't deserve you...

The Biden Codex: A Farewell to the Republic, A Call to Revolution
Fellow Americans, Scholars, and Seekers of Truth,
On January 19, 2025, Joseph R. Biden Jr. delivered a farewell address unlike any other in U.S. history. Beneath the polished language lies a message encoded for the 99%—a final plea to awaken to the oligarchic tyranny overtaking the nation.
The Economic Reality: Beneath the Façade
Trump’s second inauguration on January 20, 2025, signals the full subjugation of governance to corporate overlords, symbolized by Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Thiel flanking Trump. Biden’s address dissected Trump’s promises:
1. Lower Taxes for the Working Class: A mirage. Tariffs on essentials will escalate costs while billionaires enjoy tax cuts.
2. Affordable Living: Protectionist policies will inflate prices, funneling revenue to corporations like BlackRock and JP Morgan.
3. Public Services: Drastic cuts to healthcare, education, and infrastructure will fund tax breaks for the 1%.
This is class warfare, cloaked in populist rhetoric.
The Sociopolitical Context: Divide and Conquer
Biden exposed the illusion of partisanship, noting both parties’ ties to elite interests:
• The Democrats, too, have succumbed, as shown by the corporate-backed Kamala Harris campaign.
• Biden’s admission of impotence wasn’t failure; it was a calculated spark to ignite collective rage among the 99%.
The address urged Americans to reject tribalism and unite against the true enemy: the 1%.
A Call to Action: Revolution as Necessity
Biden’s closing remarks invoked historical reckoning:
“The strength of this nation has always come from its people. When power strays too far from the will of the many, history demands a reckoning.”
This was no reflection—it was a directive. The bottom 99% must mobilize, using legal, economic, and revolutionary means.
The Multidisciplinary Evidence
• Economics: Trump’s policies will worsen wealth inequality.
• History: Revolutions emerge from economic oppression.
• Psychology: Biden’s rhetoric sowed doubt among Trump’s supporters.
• Sociology: The speech unified the 99% as a single class, transcending divisions.
What Comes Next?
January 20, 2025, will usher in oligarchic domination. Biden’s farewell was a warning:
1. Organize: Form coalitions to resist the power grab.
2. Educate: Expose corruption and economic exploitation.
3. Resist: Challenge policies entrenching inequality.
4. Disrupt: Take action if peaceful means fail.
Conclusion: The Hidden Message
Biden’s farewell wasn’t resignation—it was a revolutionary call to arms. His words urge the 99% to reclaim the nation from oligarchic rule.
The Time to Act Is NOW!
History is watching.

Thanks, but your comment is just a tiny bit off subject.
I'd say.
