I searched for years to get service with freedom encounters. I was told the first meeting I had which I paid for didn't count because it was with a person this ministry didn't recognize…. But they took my money anyways. The name of the minister was Dale Foote. I paid $150 dollars back then and got nothing but leaves in the wind as a result. When I finally got an appointment with Ken Thornburg, (AFTER PAYING AGAIN) I didn't feel anything immediately, my files got lost and he couldn't find them and the session went ok but I got immediately deathly sick with Covid, not sure it it's related to the deliverance but I don't discount it. As I was trying to recover from Covid, my boss got sick and died shortly after of Covid. I tried to reach out to Ken using the same email thread he and I communicated with to try to schedule an after care session that he promised and didn't get a response for a long time, he never followed up either for almost a year. I finally happened to drive by his house and stopped by to see if he was home and his wife opened the door and had such a nasty attitude, it left me baffled. She was snarky and condescending. I stood my ground and told her I had been trying to reach Ken for an after care session that he promised and she half way composed her attitude and game a phone number to call but oh boy was she rude! She knew who I was, no need to act like this. I knock on doors for a living and she by far was one of the most rude and condescending person I've seen open a door. I left a message at the phone number she gave me and Ken finally emailed back With this nasty email:
Hi Carlos:
Here's the deal. You have proven untrustworthy when saying you would give to FE for my time. I don't trust you. So the original rule is in place. When we receive a check from you for $150 in the mail, and it cashes, THEN I will contact you for more aftercare. I have been a man of my word. So that is it. I'm still at our cabin, but Sylvia told me what your message said.
Sorry, Carlos, you don't make the rules now. I do.
Ken
My response:
Ken where is this rudeness and animosity coming from. Both you and Silvia are acting rather strange. I paid my fees before and I have plenty of money to cove the measly $150 you are asking for. You promised an after care that never happened and you never followed up once after I was sick and Sylvia was quite rude too. Those are not fruits of any spirit of God that we know.
I don't need your services. You and Sylvia may need more deliverance than me for sure.
His response:
That's fine, Carlos. You have selective amnesia. The first time I prayed for you, you promised to send a gift to FE; you didn't.
The second time I prayed deliverance for you, you promised to send a gift. You didn't.
This is why I don't trust you. You just recently said you would send a check; you didn't. Now I'm supposed to believe you when you say you will come with the money? I may be gullible, but not that gullible, Carlos.
So, whatever………….
Ken
My response
I was sick for months. You promised an after care and I tried to reach you over and over. This selective amnesia rudeness on Sylvia's part and yours is absolute "bull$#*!" that's what it is and that's how it's called.
I stopped by your house because I couldn't reach you and Sylvia was super rude and that's not a way to treat anyone. Absolutely not how a woman of god would act and absolutely nothing I want anything to do with.
You both are exhibiting attitudes that are not consistent with how a minister should behave and that is a RED flag. I don't use checks and I don't have anything but cash on hand which I could have paid and I'm not wasting it on you. Enough of both your rudeness and lack of professional integrity. You come out with your insults and your nasty attitude and you can keep it.
Thanks but no thanks
My last email
And I did pay my fees, mister selective amnesia story teller. They were paid through your site and that's how I got through your so called training and scheduled an appointment with you because no one was available you only prayed for me once as a so called deliverance service. You want more and more money just to pray over the phone? Really? What kind of joke is this. You are out supposedly offering a service and charging for it which by your attitude I can see it doesn't work even for you or Sylvia.
No follow ups and lots of unprofessional intrigue and insults on your both your parts. I wish I had taken video of Sylvia and her snarky attitude. And you call yourselves Christian ministers?
I've checked all the reviews about your business and there is an undeniable consistency of complaints. Don't ever contact me again.

And I want a refund for both your crappy services and those of Dale Foote which you said didn't count but you still kept the money.
