Subject: The Church Is Being Attacked

Dear Friend,

David said, "In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. For thou art my rock and my fortress.; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privly for me: for thou art my strength. (Ps. 31:1-4) What blessed verses these are to my soul in this hour.

The main purpose of this e mail to you and others is to give you an up- date on our on going battle with the forces of evil, namely the Clinton/ Gore/Reno Injustice Department. Just as the plot against Daniel and Mord- ecai was uncovered, the real purpose of the attack on the Indianapolis Baptist Temple and this preacher has also now been revealed. At oral arg- uments before the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, US Attorney Metzler said twice that an uncontrolled church is untenable in society today. He also admitted that if IBT had filed the forms we wouldn't have to pay FICA taxes. So the issue is not about taxes but of submission and control.

Also through discovery in my personal case in which the US is suing me for over $100,000 the IRS said: "Dr. Gregory J. Dixon...is a prominent local minister who has in the past voiced his opposition to the Internal Revenue Service and to government(both federal and state)in general. Stanley LaBuz the IRS agent who signed the report also said that, "The case file contains...newpaper/magazine articles on Dr. Dixon." Along with the accusation against Texe Marrs and Living Truth Ministries in Austin, Texas which recently had their tax exemption revoked by the IRS, we can now get a clear picture of where all of this is heading. Among several reasons for this action the IRS said that it appeard that the Ministry didn't have any licensed counsellors on staff. Also one of the sermon titles that they objected to was, "Bible Prophecy And The Coming Conspiracy." This is a clear attack on the Book of Revelation. Also the newspaper clippings that LaBuz mentioned were articles that the papers had reported where I had stood against various social sins. They included pornography, gambling, public education, the right of parents to discipline their children, licensure of church ministries, and homosex- ual rights. So this onslaught against IBT is all about silencing the pulpits of America. As soon as the hate crimes legislation is in place preachers will be charged criminally for such preaching. We have now come full circle from pre-revolutionary times in America.

For more than six years now our church has sustained one of the most sav- age attacks on a ministry since the establishing of the First Amendment. Every organized institution in the community is against us including most of the "Independent Baptists." And yet our church has stayed together and actually grown through the persecution which has been unrelenting from the media. The biggest toll has been on our school ministry. Just yesterday I learned that a Baptist school near by has asked for the records of twenty of our students. Many of them say that they fear a raid of the church by the Federal Marshalls.

However until we hear from the 7th Circuit Court Of Appeals in Chicago we can't get out a letter. But neither can we wait any longer to ask our friends for help. The cupboard is down to the bare bones. We are under a Court Order to keep the mortgage payments current and the buildings in repair. We must make massive repairs on the High School roof. I just borrowed ennough to keep the legal team on board for another week and sent it overnight. We have gone to our dear people over and over again. But we must keep them in reserve for when we go on to the Supreme Court. Yesterday I had come almost to the point of despair and then the Lord once again was the, "lifter up of my head." And it seemed that in spite of huge computer problems that He has led me to write to a few of our friends to see if they will help us over the present crisis. I thought of those four lepors who said, "Why sit we here until we die?'

If you are a pastor who receives this e mail will you prayerfully con- sider receiving a free will offering for our legal struggles after you receive all of your offerings for your needs tomorrow? If you are a lay- man who gets this will you be so kind as to send the largest gift poss- ible this week to help us? We would be eternally greatful. We are waging a battle for all of the preachers and churches in America. We must not lose, but their goal is to bleed us to death. So far everyone else for the most part have caved in. Pray for us that we will not do this no matter what pressure they bring to bear upon us. They are working night and day to find something on me and my son. We must be mighty clean because they sure know all about us. Also will you be so kind as to send this e mail on to others on your e mail list?

I know that God will do a great thing for us all through this and I am looking forward to hearing from you this week. Our address is:

Indianapolis Baptist Temple
19th Judicial District
2711 South East Street
Indianapolis, Indiana
