So what would YOU do if you had a person slander you and fabricate lies about you for 15 long years?  Wherever you showed up in the community with other believers "it" shows up and makes up all sorts of gossip attacks, because they don't like what you teach.  Enter Elaine Dueck from the Kelowna Winfield area in British Columbia Canada. The saga continues, making defamatory charges and inciting hatred against Baruch Ben Daniel on May 13^th, 2006, on Shabbat at the Repairer of the Breach fellowship in Winfield BC, Canada.  Elaine Dueck has a long, long legacy of defamatory statements against Baruch and his family.  Elaine Dueck is married to Alfred (Alf) Dueck and they live in the Kelowna BC area, where they met Baruch in the late 80’s.  Their meeting came about by Elaine advertising in a local paper for "followers of Yeshua," an acquaintance of Baruch’s (the late Brian Fehr) read the ad and suggested Baruch call the number.  That was a mistake, Elaine is a Messianic Christian Trinitarian god in three persons missionary looking to turn Jews into morsels of her Hellenized religious world view.

Elaine Dueck alleges that Baruch’s intentions are all just plain evil and malicious.  Elaine Dueck operates her “ministry” against Baruch on three platforms. First that she and Baruch have different values regarding Torah and Mashiyach.  Secondly, Elaine Dueck has taken up third party offenses which means if Baruch has hauled someone else up on the carpet, she feels it's her duty to defend her Christo-Pagan buddies (in other words she sticks her nose into other people's business).  Thirdly, Elaine Dueck suffers with the Jezebel syndrome, which breeds "personality" conflicts between herself anyone who exhibits any potential leadership (unless the Jezebel spirit can micro-manage men and women with it's own agenda).

Elaine Dueck has made libel of religious creed in both private and public statements claiming what Baruch stands for and teaches “dangerous” and “legalistic” doctrines.  According to the Defamation Act in Canada, Libel of religious creed is an illegal action against the Criminal Code of Canada:

The Torah of YHWH, or course, holds a much higher accountability than the Criminal Code of Canada. In Jewish circles, the Torah is upheld to the extent that if a person brings public defamation against another, it is as murder.  Perhaps Rabbinical Judaism has borrowed this value from the Mashiyach Yeshua who taught that if you think in your heart, you’re culpable of the sin, before YHWH.  A lot of folks don’t embrace this "theology" and don’t appreciate folks like Baruch who do.  So they bring defamation against the bearer of the Standard, they kill the messenger and prophet.  It's nothing new, this is what made Jezebel famous.

Elaine Dueck charges that Baruch has set out to “destroy and split up the Repairer of the Breach Congregation” with intent of establishing a Beit Din with Dr. James Trimm of Texas to establish his authority over the congregation, a malicious lie.  The truth is that Baruch and others have hauled James Trimm up on the carpet for public charges of theft, for STEALING from the Body and for a host of grievous misconduct!  Online rebukes levied by Baruch Ben Daniel have been established by plenty of witnesses.  For Elaine Dueck to associate Baruch with James Trimm in some sort of plot against the Repairer of the Breach is evidence of massive willful ignorance within Mrs. Elaine Dueck’s heart and soul, it's just plain MALICE.

Elaine Dueck has publicly stated that Baruch is responsible for the “destruction of two congregations”.  No such thing has ever happened, neither has Baruch stood up in a congregation to make accusation against anyone’s soul, ever.  In fact a religious Messianic fiasco headed up by Alfred and Elaine along with their Rabbi Frank and Terry Milos was avoided by Baruch and family.  Baruch walked away, no questions asked, no rebukes levied, no nothing.  That congregation fell apart because the Rabbi came to deny Mashiyach, being much more enamored with Jewish shtick, than the love of YHWH and His Mashiyach, their ex-Rabbi converted to become a ultra-orthodox Jew.

By withdrawing support Baruch and his family were vilified by Elaine Dueck for being anti-Semitic, which is a pathetic  and shameful slander against Baruch and his family who have never subscribed to a lot of Rabbinical tradition.

Elaine Dueck has publicly warned others to keep clear of Baruch by claiming he is “arrogant”, a “no-gooder”, and “a troublemaker”.  However Elaine Dueck has never been forthcoming in naming injured parties, or bringing witnesses against Baruch as is required by Torah and Matthew 18.  Mrs. Dueck sent Baruch an email with Matthew 18:15 on the subject line demanding to meet with him, but only after she went on a wholesale slander spree on the Shabbat, of May 13^th, 2006, in front of entire Repairer of the Breach Congregation in Winfield BC.  She even brought her mother along to join in her slander chorus and Baruch never met the woman in his life, but she appeared to have much knowledge about big bad Baruch.

The Pastor Brian Anderson and his wife attended right to the slander, as did John Aaron and wife Beverly Aaron (Elaine’s relatives by marriage), Gail and Russell Hinter, Vince Plett and many others were there to enjoy their little gossip party, on the Shabbat.  Elaine Dueck used the time to lead people to believe that she “knows Baruch longer than anyone else in the congregation” and she knows he’s just no good!  She played her musick, then puffed out of the congregation to find more "ministry opportunites."

Elaine Dueck states she had been “trying to warn” members of the Repairer congregation for some time, that Baruch could not be trusted; that he is attempting to install a “Beit Din”*:  to wreak havoc over the Repairer of the Breach congregation.  For anyone with ears to hear, Elaine Dueck’s confession of “trying to warn” members of the congregation, means that others have been made privy to her animosity and evil imaginations against Baruch for a good long while.  But not one soul at the Repairer of the Breach Congregation had the integrity to confront this matter, especially NOT the pastor and his wife who were obviously enjoying it the most.

After the defamation against Baruch, only three members of the congregation sought to establish verification of charges against Baruch.  Baruch phoned Pastor Brian Anderson to have a meeting but was denied the opportunity.  Mr. Anderson stated that “it’s all under the blood” and that stuff “between you and Elaine has got nothing to do with me". Mr. Anderson was crafty to insulate and distinguished himself from his gossiping allies.

Mr. Alfred Dueck, (Elaine’s husband) made libel of race defamation statements to Baruch against his family, alleging them to be “anti-Semites.”  The fact of the matter is that Alfred and Elaine are Christo-Pagans who enjoin themselves in prayer for Israel gossip groups whose mandate is to turn Jews into Christo-Pagans like themselves.  These Christian prayer meetings which have been attended by Baruch on occasion are nothing but slander sessions about Jews (potential converts) who struggle with their own walk in Mashiyach.

In 1990 during a meeting at Camp Owaisi in Kelowna BC hosted by a group of Torah observant Believers, Elaine stood up during a sermon given by Steve Wagner and demanded: “Where does it say in the Scriptures we should keep the Commandments!”  Mr. Steve Wagner was not only rudely interrupted but Elaine Dueck branded the group and our family as legalists for “keeping the commandments”.  Mrs. Elaine Dueck was on the warpath against Baruch because she felt the Torah was done away with, remember Elaine? 

Now Elaine Dueck is on a campaign to “expose” Baruch and his family for their adherence to Torah and promotion of the Name of YHWH.  Many christo-pagans know how to say the “words” Torah, Yeshua and Shalom but have no interest in entering into a Torah observant life, so they go from group to group to recruit Christian sheep into Christian fellowships and throw in a few Hebrew terms.  A popular form of syncretism which Brian & Lucy Anderson have enjoyed for quite a few years, is to live like Christians, but use Hebrew terms to validate their Torah-ish social club.  The Dueck’s chose to remove their idol of jealousy (Christmas Tree) from their house, after reading a Christian article about it's nasty origin, in those early years of meeting Baruch he was welcomed to teach a class in their home.  But Baruch isn’t easily micro-managed and this became a very big contention with the Duecks who have demonstrated a ministry of “micro-managing” others.  This is also a more politically correct terminology than referring to them as spirits of Jezebel and Ahab.

Elaine Dueck is in direct violation of Torah which teaches that: a person must refrain from going about as a talebearer among their people, (Vayikra/Leviticus 19:16); that: a person should not hold evil imaginations about others in their hearts (Zechariah 7:10);  that: a person should not speak lies about others (Shemot/Exodus) 20:10); D’varim (Deuteronomy) 5:20; Matthew 19:18; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Romans 13:9. But the Jezebel spirit is a tough one to kick if the person thinks that it's all part of their ongoing Christian "ministry".

Malicious speech and gossip from Elaine Dueck occurred in 1994 when Mr. Eli Nessim of Vancouver BC Canada gave testimony to Baruch about his gossip session with Elaine Dueck.  Mr. Nessim was the acting “spiritual leader” of Kehillath Tzion Messianic Congregation in Vancouver BC.  Mr. Nessim reported to Baruch that during a discussion with Elaine Dueck he became privy to various things about Baruch and his family, and that his gossip session with her put a big black mark against Baruch.  One of the objections that Elaine Dueck levied to Eli Nessim, was that Baruch was a legalist for teaching the restoration of the Name of YHWH.  Mr. Nessim pulled back from his relationship with Baruch after his gossip session with Elaine.  Elaine’s gossip contributed to other men and women in the congregation bringing up gossip attacks against Baruch, murmuring against him, and bringing up evil reports against him.  Eli Nessim carries a legacy of gossiping people out of his congregation, but you also have give credit to his wife Judith for this, and for the other "core" gossipers.  Immanuel Butkovsky, refused to acknowledge “the persons of the trinity” as a doctrine for salvation, and was banished by Mr. Nessim without a hearing.  Mr. Nessim in a recorded phone call condemned the man to hell.  Baruch objected was also banished from the congregation.

Elaine Dueck considers Mr. Nessim as a “tsadiq” (righteous soul), and doesn't like the fact that Baruch says he needs to repent of his gossip.  Mr. Nessim is a highly respected friend/mentor of the Dueck family.  Baruch has made a very severe public rebuke online about Mr. Nessim’s propensity to gossip, make defamatory statements, backbite, and exercise his one-man-show Abimelech pulpit ministry style of authority over “the sheep”.  Baruch was banished from Mr. Nessim’s Kehillath Zion congregation in Vancouver on March of 1997, with the help of Elaine Dueck’s gossip.

Elaine Dueck invented gossip about Baruch and his family for the ears of Betty Lou Loewen of Abbotsford BC, Rosa Bianca Starr of Vancouver, Barbara Gordon of Langley, Myra Wilding of Vancouver, Jannette Edmonds of North Vancouver, Richardo Daponte, James Hardy and others who confessed to hearing gossip originating from Elaine Dueck.

Elaine and Alfred Dueck slandered Baruch and his family in the ears of Warren L. Bowles, the Pastor of Tree of Life Congregation (Kehilah Etz Chaim) in Kelowna, BC, Canada.  Elaine made false and misleading statements about his family being “dangerous people”, “legalists” and “Sacred Namers” and warned the Tree of Life congregation to beware.  The fact of the matter is that it’s one thing to hold a differing viewpoints, but it’s another to launch slander attacks, which Alfred and Elaine Dueck have long chosen.  As far as being in the “Sacred Name” crowd, there isn’t a soul on earth who has ever heard Baruch Ben Daniel teach that the Name of YHWH in itself, is a matter of salvation.  Baruch also well aware that a majority of sacred name people are anti-Semitic, they hate Jews and they speak negatively of "Judah" and the Jews because of the Christian backgrounds from which they came.  And I say a majority because the majority of Sacred Name congregations have leaders who are visibly anti-Semitic, but CERTAINLY not all!!!

Elaine and Alfred Dueck slandered Baruch and his family in the ears of Frank Piper, a Pastor from “For Such A Time As This” in Vernon BC, who was also in attendance at the Tree of Life Congregation in Kelowna and welcomed the gossip, warnings and loose tongue of Elaine Dueck.

Elaine and Alfred Dueck slandered Baruch and his family to Brian and Lucie Anderson, the pastor of Repairer of the Breach Fellowship in Winfield BC.  Alfred and Elaine’s gossip about Baruch surfaced within a week of his first attendance at the Repairer of the Breach congregation during Pesach 2005.  Alfred Dueck was present at Pesach.  Next Shabbat, when Baruch was greeted by the pastor Brian Anderson, it was clear Brian had his ears filled with slander about Baruch.  When Baruch questioned Brian Anderson about it, he protected his "informants" and wouldn’t disclose his “source”.  The conversation between Baruch and Brian Anderson was witnessed by Mr. David McCready of Enderby BC.  Baruch stated to Brian, “so who have you been talking with behind my back?”, Brian quickly changed the subject, and moved himself out of the danger zone.  Brian Anderson has no balls, just like the rest of the men in the congregation.  It appears as the name of the congregation should rather be, repairer of the gutless, maybe?

Elaine Dueck has a consistent record of defamation, gossip, tale bearing, character assassination, reckless speech and Torahlessness against the good name and reputation of Baruch and his family; but has at no time made any charges, rebukes, reproofs directly to Baruch or his family.  Elaine makes malicious character attacks and defamation publicly and privately at her leisure.  The character assassination ministry that Elaine Dueck heads up has caused irreparable damage.  The Defamation levied against Baruch has left indelible stains upon his good name and character.  The Repairer of the Breach congregation has taken up her slander and character assassination.

So far, Elaine Dueck’s defamation against Baruch has been disseminated in the following congregations:

Kehillath Tzion congregation in Vancouver BC.

The prayer for Israel fellowship in Abbotsford BC, hosted by Betty Lou Loewen.

The Tree of Life Congregation in Kelowna BC led by Warren Bowles.

For Such A Time As This Congregation in Vernon BC.

The Repairer of the Breach Congregation in Winfield BC,

and of course wherever the Baruch is mentioned.

Elaine & Alfred Dueck, Baruch feels that the sum of monetary damages should be set at $25,000.00 CDN for consideration of the defamation you have levied against him.  You repent (and make a public apology) and write out a cheque that doesn't bounce, and Baruch will consider it as restitution.  Baruch will provide you with an organization to make the check out to, he wouldn't want you to think that he wants or needs any of your monies.  If you choose not to repent and make restitution,

YHWH will Judge the matter, according to His Word

I Baruch Ben Daniel solemnly testify that:

1) The slander against me by Elaine and Alfred Dueck and other members of the Repairer of the Breach Congregation in Winfield BC is baseless lies, slander and hatred against me from their evil imaginations.  I take this matter seriously because the damage is against my person and my family name.  I am ready, willing and able to bring forth witnesses and testimony that I have sanctified the Name of YHWH according to Mashiyach Yeshua and am not culpable of charges that Elaine Dueck has levied against me.

2) I have asked for a hearing of witnesses directly to the pastor in authority of the congregation (Brian Anderson) and through Russell Hinter who claimed to be working toward such a meeting. As of the time you are reading this, no meeting has been forthcoming, Russell has done nothing but spread more gossip. 

3) Charges against me of not following Matthew 18:15 are patently false and without merit.  I was in the position of defendant not plaintiff, I did not originally bring any charges against Elaine or her family, she brought them against my person and I have now chosen to make a statement of truth regarding the matter. Elaine gossiped before the whole congregation while I was not present. I have no reason to go to her for slandering me publicly, as she has been doing this for a very long while and asking her politely to stop it is like holding a feather against a machine gun.  The pastor and the congregation consented to her slander. I am saddened, ashamed and disappointed with those at Repairer of the Breach who don’t see any merit in curtailing their gossip and slander.  My relationship with individuals at the Repairer congregation has been trashed due to the slander against me by Alfred & Elaine Dueck, John Aaron, and Brian & Lucie Anderson.

4) Elaine Dueck has falsely accused me of attempting to bring the authority of James Trimm over the Repairer congregation, this is false and telling of Elaine’s ignorance and evil imaginations.  Dozens of witnesses could be brought forward to show that Elaine Dueck is making defamatory and sensationalist statements which are lies.  Well over half a million visitors on my websites have had access to information about my relationship with James Trimm and my teachings and actions regarding Torah based Beit Din has been posted for many years.  Elaine Dueck has formed a cruel and false attack without merit.

5) While attending the 2006 Annual General Meeting of the Repairer of the Breach fellowship in Winfield BC, Brian Anderson publicly queried me if I had been “put up to this”, referring to advocating a Torah based Beit Din.  Mr. Anderson stated after the meeting that in his eyes, the Beit Din was an attempt to “keep the pastor in line”, to which I replied in the affirmative and that it is for the benefit of everyone.  For Mr. Anderson to view a Beit Din as an effort to keep him “in line” is indicative of his own guilt and spiritual immaturity.  The nature of a Beit Din is to uphold Torah values within the community, establish Gideon-like team leadership, and accountability to one’s words, all what comes out of one’s mouth.  It is very easy to see why this is so objectionable to both the Anderson’s and the Duecks, however this gossip that Brian Anderson believed came out of Elaine's mouth.

6) When I heard news of the gossip levied against me by Elaine Dueck, I requested that the person(s) not share the matter unless there would be a meeting of witnesses.  I also asked for written accounts of the matter be made for future reference, in an effort to establish the truth of the matter and establish reconciliation.

7) I did not consent to a “one on one meeting” with Elaine Dueck as she requested, because she has demonstrated herself to be a habitual liar.  Therefore, I will NOT meet with her or her husband unless witnesses are present and she and her husband Alfred Dueck have indicated that they intend to make reconciliation in the matter of their slander.  Anything that I would say to her or Alfred would only be twisted in an effort to bolster their hate campaign against me.

8) I have sought the legal counsel of a criminal lawyer, as well as with persons of the Household of Faith regarding the matter between Elaine & Alfred Dueck, Brian & Lucy Anderson, the Repairer of the Breach Congregation in Winfield BC Canada and myself.  I am pursuing a monetary restitution settlement against Elaine Dueck, and have no choice but to also indict Brian & Lucy Anderson and the Repairer of the Breach for consenting to the defamation against my good name.

9) I have sought to help establish learning and development of a Beit Din in every community I visit where the Name Yeshua is confessed and where Torah is observed.  Beit Din is a Torah directive commanded by YHWH, not me.  A Beit Din is to be accomplished on the authority of YHWH’s Word, not mine.  It is part of my calling in Mashiyach to bring His Name and the application of Torah into the Body of Mashiyach according to Matthew 18:16, 20; 1 Cor. 14:29;  2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19; D’varim (Deuteronomy) 19:15 and on the basis of many other Scriptures.

10) I have lived and served as pastor, rabbi, rav, teacher, counselor, worship leader and friend of “saved and unsaved” souls in Mashiyach Yeshua nearly all my life.  To have my name defamed by those who call themselves “Believers” is an offense against YHWH, His Mashiyach Yeshua and the Household of Faith whom I serve, as well as my person.  Elaine Dueck’s gossip ministry has brought suspicions against my person and character which is also compounded by the fact that I am a single, never-married soul who will not marry outside of the household of Faith.  The baseless hatred and slander against me from Elaine Dueck has been spread throughout the local community and is now considered as a fact by these infidels.

11) Elaine Dueck used the matter of the Anderson’s violation of Shabbat and their “repentance” along with third party information from my private phone conversation with the Andersons to launch a defamation attack against me. 

12) Elaine Dueck planted gossip in the heart of Brian Anderson who also lied, falsified my testimony, and escalated my words from our telephone conversation of May 12^th 2006.

13) Elaine Dueck accepted an invitation by Brian Anderson to use the Repairer of the Breach facilities to spread gossip about me.  But of course Brian abused his authority as a pastor and leaned on his “pulpit ministry” to punish me by his own gossip as well.  For example, I at no time requested Brian Anderson “leave the congregation” because of his violation of Shabbat.  I stated that I had withdrawn my support of his pastorship, and suggested he step down for a minimum of 6 months to indicate the gravity of his offence and make true repentance.  Brian & Lucie Anderson devised a strategy of putting words in my mouth before their congregation, that I did not say, and cleverly neglected to mention the salient points of our conversation.  Not only did they misrepresent me before the Congregation, they conferred with Elaine Dueck to publicly slander me in front of their congregation.

14) Elaine Dueck's gossip is being harbored and protected by Brian Anderson who during a telephone conversation the morning of June 18^th refused to be in attendance to a meeting between he, Elaine and witnesses and Brian also took the opportunity to scorn me so that I wouldn't bother calling him again.

“These six things YHWH hates: yes, seven are an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 

A heart that devises wicked  imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 

A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.

Mishlei (Proverbs) 6:16-18

“O YHWH, You have seen my wrong: judge Thou my cause. 

You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 

You have heard their reproach, O YHWH, and all their imaginations against me; 

The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick*.” 

Lamentations 3:59-63

 (*very interesting word in Hebrew, more properly mocking or derisive song)

“And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor;

and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”

Zechariah 7:10

“And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath:

for all these are things that I hate, says YHWH.

Zechariah 8:17

“Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.”

Proverbs 12:20

“You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour.  You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbour: I am YHWH.  You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.  You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people,

but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am YHWH.”

Leviticus 19:15-18

A talebearer reveals secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.

Proverbs 11:13

The words of a talebearer (whisperer) are as wounds,

and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Proverbs 18:8

He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets:

therefore meddle not with him that flatters with her lips.

Proverbs 20:19

Where no wood is, there the fire goes out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.

Proverbs 26:20

The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Proverbs 26:22

“Tell the people of Israel, when a man or woman commits any kind of sin against another person

and thus breaks faith with YHWH, he incurs guilt.”

B’midbar (Numbers) 5:6

...wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things...

May YHWH hear our prayers,

and be attentive to our needs,

and look down from Heaven,

and show carnal "believers" how to stop

their incessant gossip and slander,

because of the blood of Mashiyach,

that was shed so slanderers could,

be like Him, and speak the truth,

in love...

Amen ve Amen.

Shalom U'Vrachot,

Baruch Ben Daniel

ps Elaine, I'm not against your person, or your hubby Alfred, or your family, (or anyone else) but I would greatly appreciate it, if you could find it in your heart to stop gossiping and slandering me, do you hear what I'm saying?

*Beit Din is translated as “house of counsel (or judging)”.  This is a Torah directive to establish equally vested souls (three or more) who are available for counsel to those who require reconciliation.  A Beit Din is a common Torah based initiative which operates in most Jewish communities.   However, in Christian communities it operates under themes, as in holding arbitration hearings to settle disputes, or raising up “team leadership and elders” who hear cases, rather than one person imposing singular veto authority over others.  A Beit Din, is a collective effort to establish truth and counsel all persons in the matter of Torah principles.  The goal of a Beit Din is to establish Torah values, peer relationships, mentoring, Equality, Justice, Harmony and Peace to each individual by upholding Maxims of Law according to Torah as pertaining to each persons Freedom, Rights and Personal Property.

**Jezebel was an evil queen of Israel, a self appointed mover and shaker who ruled (micro-managed) her Ahab (husband) from “behind the scenes”, Jezebel fought against and slew the Prophets of YHWH rather than turn from her wickedness.  The Jezebel spirit fights against the authority of Torah and Beit Din in order to establish herself as a principality so as not to expose her witchcraft and evil deeds done dirt cheap.  One really couldn't ask for a better model of Jezebel that Mrs. Elaine Dueck of Kelowna BC.  Wow, I just thought of something, maybe YHWH has let that poor old windbag, get filled with all her demons so the local "believers" could get a real life picture of a Jezebel in full operation?  Isn't that right John Aaron?
