Tom Papania Is A Fraud

for MORE FACTS!
Tom has been screaming that sites like this and those above are committing libel ;
that we are not reporting the truth --he even went as far as STATING HE HAD FILED IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURT
AGAINST ALL OF THE PERSONS AND WEBSITES ABOVE IN 2005! ... .yet Tom has
never sued anyone.. accept the guy who sued him in
1999!
In a lawsuit filed
in 1999 and being won in 2002 , the author of House Of Cards alleged that Tom,
with the help and advertising of and by Dr Dobson/ Focus On The Family and Pat
Robertson/The 700 Club, had committed copyright infringement and fraud.
In 2002, irregardless of the fact that Tom's Attorney said he would never settle:
Savannah Morning News
""Settlement amounts are confidential," he said [tom's
lawyer ]. "Mr. Papania has refused any settlement. He's defending the case against
principle" ...."The cost of being famous, you're going to have people coming out
of the woodwork filing frivolous lawsuits. It's the cost of doing business for becoming
well known." "
"Papania's portion is pending in court, awaiting a judge's decision whether to
dismiss the case at Yaklin's request." (NOTE: the
dismissal was thrown out and the claims upheld)
Tom settled and agreed to change his testimony (the parts he allegedly stole from
Rock's book) and Rock agreed to stop posting stories of the case against Tom and to
eliminate sites that Rock developed that were telling folks the same facts. Rock also
gave Tom the tompapania.com web domain name he had recently
won from Tom in another victorious law suit.
Thus, though Tom has begged money from people to close this and other web sites, in
actuality and reality, he filed a frivolous suit and then TOLD people he had filed against
us!
Read the facts and some excerpts of actual Court records that show Rock filed a motion
for summary judgment and a COUNTER SUIT claiming further FRAUD on the part of Minister Tom
Papania by CLICKING READ MORE!
Tom has been screaming that sites like this and those below in the footer are committing libel. That we are not reporting the truth, yet Tom has never sued anyone.. and, as we and others have
alleged, he may be a big LIAR and a FRAUD!
Back in 1999 a suit was filed for copyright infringement by a Rock
Scarfone against Tom Papania. And what has these facts to do here? Well, Tom settled the lawsuit in 2002 that Rock Scarfone filed in 1999 by paying Rock $7,500 and agreeing to change his testimony (the parts he allegedly stole) . Rock agreed to stop posting and to eliminate
sites that he developed that were telling folks the truth as it was...
From the Court records thus far, Rock has filed a motion for summary judgment
and a COUNTER SUIT!
Rock has sworn that he has done as he said he would do three years ago.. so why the complaint?
BECAUSE TOM CAN NOW SAY HE IS SUING THOSE WHO ARE RUNNING THESE SITES BY SUING
ROCK.. EVEN THOUGH ROCK HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE OR THE OTHERS!!!
Tom
Papania's Fall 2004 Newsletter
" My attorney has informed me that he has
finished all the paperwork and has filed it both in State and Federal Court.
He
is filing a lawsuit on every website and person that is falsely accusing me and
slandering both this ministry and my name. Research has found that none of my
accusers attend any church or have a Pastor for reference, or any accountability
for that matter. None of them have Christ like attitudes nor does their choice
of language edify or glorify God. They are like vipers in a pit waiting to
strike at anyone who dares to disagree with them. If you’ve ever viewed their
websites you would immediately notice a lack of any Christian love. They need
our prayers desperately. They are so blinded by the enemy they actually believe
they are doing God’s will by attacking me. At times they sound as if they
thought they were God. Anyone trying to reason with these people just get abused
and insulted with profanity or name calling. I’ve asked everyone not to try to
engage them in conversation, as it is futile, but to just pray for them
instead."
and this:
Winter
2004 Newsletter
"The
attorney who has volunteered his services to help me with the attacks against
myself and this ministry is going full steam and plans on having this
all resolved within the next few months. This
is long overdue and will be a relief to me when it is all over. The attacks have
hurt this ministry greatly, both spiritually and financially. The lawsuit may
help me recover some of the lost income I suffered for the last 3 ½ years when
the attacks started. I’m more interested in the websites coming down then I am
in any financial rewards. The main
instigator is not by any means a Christian and I am praying he will become one
before the lawsuit is initiated. Pray for
my accusers as they are being controlled and manipulated by the devil himself in
trying to destroy this ministry. Their minds are so warped. One of them is now
attacking President Bush and some other well known Christian ministers.
Evidently he never read Scripture about attacking God’s anointed (Psalm
105:15)(1Chr. 16:22)."
Yet he has NOT filed any law suit against the owners of any websites...
...and ALL THE WEB SITE OWNERS SUBMITTED AFFIDAVITS SAYING ROCK HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THEIR SITES!
Check Out http://TomPapania.Info and http://MafiaMinistry.Com
and http://christianissues.com
and then think..
why did tom remove the old newsletters?
how come no LAWSUITS?
how come a suit for breach of agreement against an individual who has nothing
to do with the sites?
READ THESE THAT ARE COPIES OF FILINGS!

Affidavit Of Don Bartholomew
The Plaintiffs in their Motion For Summary Judgment utilized the Affidavit Don Bartholomew submitted with Plaintiff's Motion
For Summary Judgment as their sole evidence to substantiate claims thatDefendant
Violated the Agreement.
22
The affidavit, Don Bartholomew made sworn
to claims that were based on his misinterpretation of the meaning of the words, terms and
procedures used to describe the process and procedures of Domain Name Registration,
Domain Name Ownership, Web Site Hosting, and Network Id by providing incorrect
and/or misleading explanations for these words and terms. Don Bartholomew
then made sworn to incorrect conclusions based on those misinterpretations of
the stated words, terms, procedures by using same to describe the results of
TRACE, WHOIS, NETWORK ID and REGISTRATION searches he performed utilizing
search Utilities and SOFTWARE programs

of Don Bartholomew

Argument and Citation Of
Authority
23.
.FIRST CAUSE FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Section 2 (g) Agreement
There is no disagreement that an agreement
was reached and signed by plaintiff and Defendant. That agreement is herein
attached.
24
The Agreement: Transferring Sites and
Removing Existing Web Pages and Sites:
a) page 1 #1.Transerfer the domains
Tompapania.com and Tompapania.net
This was done
b) Page 1, #2 a through f: The Defendant was
"TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITIES" to remove all publications, postings,
and other literature of the names Tom Papania and Tom Papanier or any derivative
thereof, from the following WEB SITES located on the world wide web:
1) The term
WEB SITES means just that. YouthOfAmerica.Com Net and Org. But it did not
include any websites belonging to anyone that was not an employee, agent or
volunteer. The web site crossroads.youthofamerica.org was not a Youth Of America
Web Site.
2) Thus, the sites Frank Catania (FrankCatania.youthofamerica.org)
and Nick Barbetta (NickBarbetta.youthofamerica.org) were sites on Youth Of
America in the CO-CONTROL of the Defendant and primarily were against the
Plaintiff Tom Papania and were listed as being so.
Both sites WERE None Domain Name Free
Hosted Web Sites and Privately controlled, that is why they were specifically
named in the Agreement. These sites and all that Defendant new
of or located through searches were removed to Defendants best ability. The reason that some remained was that
there are literally a few thousand mini web sites and pages where some LINKS
remained, and it took years for some links to show up in search engines.
That is WHY WE, Plaintiff and
Defendant, AGREED THAT PLAINTIFF WOULD NOTIFY DEFENDANT IF HE FOUND ANY
SITES OR PAGES!
That is why Cross Roads Prison
Ministry website at CrossRoads.YouthOfAmerica.Org remained. Because neither
Defendant nor Plaintiff realized the site existed. It was built by a volunteer
in 1999/2000, as were over 800 other free sites. It is a Non Domain Name Hosted
Web Site the Defendant had no control over. It did NOT appear in search engines
from October 2002 through December 2003. I stopped searching in 2003. And,
unless some one alerted me, I would not have known about the site.
see: affidavit of jeff russo and
second affidavit of jeff russo
see: affidavit of rocky scarfone
25
Thus, I was to remove web sites, pages and postings
that were listed in the agreement. This I did entirely and then
conducted searches and removed other pages and LINKS from other pages Plaintiff
was unaware of.
