“The Patch Ministry”
Dustin Pari is a member of the -” The Atlantic Paranormal Society” and has been with Ghost Hunters for 3-4, and recently just left Ghost Hunters International. Now this Paranormal Investigator is working to be a Minister with “The Patch Ministry”.This guy claims on his My Space says that he is a Catholic but now he says he is a Christian. I do not feel he is religious and he is against the Bible, because in the Bible is it said that “Christian critics also use Lev. 20:27 which they claim says: Any man or woman among you who calls up ghosts or spirits shall be put to death. The people shall stone them; their blood shall be on their own heads. Again, according to the earlier King James Version, the verse really says: A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them. Again the verse speaks about mediums and psychics who call upon their familiar spirits to channel information. It says nothing about ghosts. The God of the Old Testament does not want competition from mediums and psychics, but wants the people to turn only to Him for answers and guidance”. I have studied Dustin Pari over the internet for quit a few years and read his bad attitude and how he is totally sarcastic to his fans. When asking him a simple question on several of his web sites, he reply s back,(with a new topic so no one knows he is talking with you) by back mouthing back at you.I read on forums that Dustin is actually mean and vain and I agree with them 100 %..I try being Dustin’s fan but I just can not be because of his bad attitude. The guy is ignorant, stuck on him self and unfaithful to his fans.Dustin also is selling books out on the web and when I read the comments, the comments are NOT nice to him..Its about being a professional Paranormal Investigator and how anyone that gets into Ghost Hunting – should hang it up!. Dustin is mean and vain and heartless!!

Most of the ‘Ghost Hunters’ and their ilk are arrogant and used to being able to state their lies as fact. I am not surprised to find out this guy is a dill.

No, you just know what type of people they are in life. Just like if your teenage daughter received an invitation to an all-night, open doors slumber party at an all male prison, you would know that is probably a bad idea. If she received the same invitation from her friends at school or church, you would be more comfortable with the idea. It is because you know “most” of the “ilk”.

What is so twisted about my story?.A guy that is supposedly the nicest guy that anyone could ever meet?. A guy that still Ghost Hunts with the members of TAPS & wants to change the world through his church?. What more can I say – other than Dustin believes he can correct the Bible?> He is NOT whom you think he is. Dustin started this Tikkun Olam page for a single guy that had serious trouble & Dustin WAS his mentor!.. NOW you tell me who really is Dustin Pari. I KNEW right all along that Dustin is a mean hatred guy that wants to gain popularity and that’s actually what he has done to Tikkun Olam,(he used him to gain attention and popularity).. http://www.myspace.com/teamdustinpari

TO IS BACK!
Hey everyone!
Your friendly neighborhood Derick, here!
Sorry if I’ve been neglecting this page for so long. Things have been crazy…its true folks, life really does come at you fast!
To get the bad stuff out of the way, part of the reason why was to heal…I just lost a really good friend, someone i looked up to, that helped start this page up when it first opened. Stress got the best of me and i became pushy, and long story short it resulted in him hurting me and pushing me out of his life. It was one of the most painful things i ever experienced cause to me this guy was a hero, and he really aimed to hurt…and it did. Especially since this is who i learned Tikkun Olam from and started it with, which is about PEOPLE. And this experience for awhile, ruined all my trust in people cause again…i haven’t respected anyone more until it blew up on me. So i was seriously considering getting rid of TO…
But how fair would that be? Tikkun Olam is a BIG thing. It may not draw a lot of people in, but those who do affect the world, whether you believe you do or not. I believe I affect the world on a very positive note, and those who don’t care for me on my level, i dare not stop doing what I do and stoop down to there’s. Gotta keep on pushing! Being inspirational is my goal, and anyone who has anything bad to say to me and doesn’t want anything to do with me is just missing out. You have to be that way too, cause if your here on Tikkun Olam you are a world changer and a VERY inspirational person.
On top of that, life has just been a changing’. I have a job; a new mentor, Mr. Barry Fitzgerald, whom took time to connect and get me through this hurtful situation; new friends; and soon a new place. I even have a love interest but its REALLY complicated…when is it not, right? lol
But this negative experience taught me that you really have to appreciate the good people you have in your life and not take them for granted. One day they’ll be gone, or you’ll split up over something really stupid and you wont realize the good thing that you had.
S i want to present to you a TO CHALLENGE: if there’s anyone in your life that you look up to: a parent, a grandparent, spouse, even a friend, someone that’s helped make you a better person, i want you to take the time and tell them how much you appreciate all they’ve done for you. And if something happens in the future like it did to me, at least they’ll know you cherished them. it goes a long way…and that my friends, is part of the spirit of Tikkun Olam

Dustin Pari is one of the most genuine, heartfelt, compassion,
loving & caring men i have ever known of ANY religion, & especially of Christianity. I am profoundly blessed to call him friend but more often refer to him as “brother” because he earned that. Everyone knows the Catholic tradition is a denomination of Christianity & it’s well known that they practices exorcisms, use the Virgin Mary like you would a guide & call upon the HOLY GHOST of Christ. That in itself proves that the church believes in the paranormal. The whole demon, fear of God thing suggests Demons & entities can efflict humans. Sometimes they effect good people as well, people that are just in the wrong place at the wrong time or in a lower vibration or state of consciousness that allows them entry. It has been this way forever. If you think you are above that, then you are sorely mistaken.
You think Catholics aren’t Christians ? Why that would be like saying Jesus wasn’t actually a Jew. ( Or that he was a tall blonde haired, blue eyed, white man for that matter ).Even though Jesus studied other ancient religions & was loving & accepting of others, even though his followers then were as questionable as they are now. Oh yes, they had him killed… I suppose you didn’t like Jesus’s choice in friends did you? It might burst your bubble of condemnation to know that you have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps you should not only thoroughly read your bible but look to open your heart to understand it’s loving message.
Oh & the Derick blog you are copying & pasting from the myspace Tikkun Olam page you are vastly misconstruing. I see you conveniently left out Dustin’s blog explaining his leaving. Dustin left Tikkun Olam mostly because he simply did not have the time to give it the personal attention that it needed so he gave the reigns to Derick souly & then Derick asked Jane to help.T heir personal relationship is none of your business. Just because Dustin is on tv does not give you the right to put his private matters in public . You are not a God & can not judge him as if you were one. Dustin has not & will never owe you anything. That’s not only unChristian but arrogant & highly inappropriate but i know that you don’t care about that because you feed off causing the misery & trouble for people. That’s rather evil.
I suppose if the before mentioned is good enough for the Catholic church, they accept Dustin in his path. His path was one he chose by the interests that God gave him. He uses it with great care & love. Thank you for your obvious interest. Perhaps you can work on your anger and jealousy issues and your God can help you in that. After all you are on a Christian website. One would think you’d practice what you preach here Sir…
You remind me of that fellow on youtube who clearly follows GH & GHI people called MovieDan. Are you him? He loves to get hits on his hating videos about them but i think you already know that. I was rather hoping he had become a productive & positive person in the community & got help for his issues. What a useless waste of time being that hateful is. It must be emotionally exhausting to be so angry, bitter, & resentful. You’d think he’d just change the channel & stop bitching because after a few years, it makes one question your mental stability. Oh that’s right, it was just about getting video hits on youtube… I guess if there were any basis to his arguement, he’d have “won” by now & GH would be off the air. GH & GHI fans & supporters will flock & the truth will ALWAYS prevail.
Dustin is a true family man with high morals, a daily positive outlook , and a man of integrity. He uplifts & inspires people in many ways and brings positive & like-minded people together to educate them about the field & now his outlook on spirituality . He has God given right to do that. Some misinformed believers have had issues about him in the paranormal field. It’s a good thing that , that is his business & his choice. His church understands what he does in his work & his family supports him. He doesn’t need your permissions.
Dustin truly, truly cares about people & makes the time and goes the extra mile for his supporters, and fans of GH & GHI as best as he can. I’m sure people understand the common sense knowledge that traveling to the extent that he did, allowed him very little time to personally answer literally 1,000′s of emails & comments people make. That will never make him arrogant. It’s common sense! When traveling they were lucky to eat enough or get sleep, or talk to family, nevertheless answer your hate mail.
He left GHI this season to allow himself to be a more present family man . The time away from family is hard. Many people would take “fame” over family but not Dustin. What a guy! Much respect Dustin. Sometimes it’s just too hard to balance it all. What a sacrifice. Bless him!
I have known Dustin for a few years now. He has always been good to me. I have met him personally, seen him host an event & worked with him & seen him interact with people & fans. He takes pics with them & talks with them & truly appreciates them & that shows. He’s very sweet , while confident in himself, he surely is not arrogant. He goes well above & beyond what is expected of him in the way of giving all he can to his fans & some of them are very obsessive. He uses the chances he has been given to help people, families, businesses , charities. They aren’t racking in all this money just because they are shown on the SyFy channel. Again, you are so wrong about how this all works.
He also helped people he met along the way at his own events to help with their causes. One is a well known charity for a little girl with cancer. Bless him , what a guy. Nothing but love for you Dustin.
Dustin never gets online & uses his time to spread lies & hate & rumours & absolute filth about people, especially people he clearly has never known. He is not rude & sarcastic to his fans & i should know, i attend most all of his shows , some events, & interact with him in some way continually & have done for years.
Since we’re on a Christian website, let’s revue some helpful proverbs in this situations, shall we? I love enlightenment, don’t you?
Many people “claim” to be Christians but have no real concept of following the words of Christ.
~~~TODAY’S LESSON~~~
Matt. 7:1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
“Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people”
Proverbs 11:3
“Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD,
but a just weight is His delight”
Proverbs 11:1
“Dear friend, you are being faithful to God when you care for
the traveling teachers who pass through, even though
they are strangers to you.”
3 John 1:5
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Galatians 6:10
“The entire law is summed up in a single command:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.
“If you keep on biting and devouring each other,
watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.”
Galatians 5:14-15
“Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry:
for anger resteth in the bosom of fools”
Ecclesiastes 7:9
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:”
Ephesians 4:31 (KJV)
Oh & my personal favourite:
“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates
correction is stupid.”
Proverbs 12:1
( Just throwing that one in for cheeky merit )
Most Christians i know think going to church one day a week will wash them of their “sins” & all the nasty things they did against the word of Jesus, their God, all week. I guess with that mentality, the word was never really with them at all & they don’t really talk to the holy spirit, nevertheless follow the word of their claimed God. HOLY SPIRIT you say? You must not be a Christian if you’re hearing the holy spirit of your savior Jesus Christ because hearing spirit , why that’s just unChristian evil madness. Somebody call the white coats. Better yet, somebody call someone with some compassion or expertise in the field of the paranormal sciences. Thank God for GHI & for wonderful people like Chip Coffey!!!
You want to do something productive pally, hound the Vatican to release the original Christian texts that they are hiding from the world . Oh but that will never happen because then they’d have to explain all that manipulating church & state mess of the last several hundred years. OOPS! ( handing them a broom & a rug ) But that’s another story…
So you, who print such blatant lies and spread hate are clearly not a Christian himself so why are you on this forum? Some people just want to be noticed & like to use other people’s names who have earned a place in the light, to do so. May your God give the self respect & motivation to realize your personal gift & may you move forward in your own life & leave other people’s alone. You will never have any power to take anything from them. It’s a pathetic attempt to try.
Dustin is following his spiritual path in every way he should be & for all the right reasons. We encourage,praise, commend, & endlessly support him for that. Dustin is not a medium & does not summon spirits. A spirit is just a person without a body anyway. The essence of the true higher self & our true form. I suppose it’s the real us that all of our Gods created. God being ” life energy”.
If you had he been following Dustin for years you surely without question, would “know” that is he is NOTHING BUT absolutely lovely to his fans.I have been his colleague & friend for a few years & that will remain & I attend most all of his shows & WILL STILL. I’ve met him in person, have you? I’ve seen him with his fans & i’d bet not one of them would view him as you have. He is sweet & caring & giving & talks highly of his team, of people & life & his work & has always been open about what he does with his church at home.
He is a loving husband, Father, friend, son & is responsible for creating Tikkun Olam, a group that extends random acts of kindness without personal gain. He is kind & real & has never disrespected his fans on any shows i have
ever seen & i have seen many. He is not that kind of person. Dustin’s character nor his heart needs defending because it is true & has always spoken for itself but as his friend, i will always be there for him to defend him in anyway,to enlighten people who do not know him against people who will never know him. That is what a friend does. He does not have to ask me to do it. It is done!
It’s far easier to speak malice & to spread lies & hate then it is to be loving & to give for many people. They should practice what they preach perhaps. I’m very proud of Dustin for staying grounded & humble & for leaving something that really means a lot to him to better be there for his
family & to follow his spiritual journey & share the light from his Christian heart.
I have my own “opinions” on the translated new bibles but really they are guidelines & sharing to be perceived in positive ways for the individual. If you followed all the words of the bible that was not even written by Christ,it would show in your appearance. You don’t follow the bible & it shows. How one might take one meaning is not what another might take from him. If hate is
in your heart & the nonacceptance of love, then you will not perceive love in that scripture. You will not resonate with the passage.
I will pray for your happiness angry soul. May you have all your needs met in the most wonderful way. May Dustin be loved & protected throughout all your lies & hate.
In the words of Buddha :
” Never argue with a fool for you have to lower yourself to their level & they have more experience.”

With Love , Support, & Respect for Dustin Pari & Patch Ministries,& GHI,

I am a Church going person and I am involved a lot in my Church, but our Church does NOT believe in haunting Ghost and Spirits. That to me is disturbing the peace. Dustin on the other hand is out – telling everyone on the web that he wants to teach about the Christan faith!?.. Well let me tell you, I surely am afraid that he is going to convince everyone that being a Paranormal Investigator,(haunting Ghost is in the bible). No sir ye it is NOT in the bible. Where I live – we had another bad storm – up to 60 miles per hour wind storm where tree’s where knocked down,(electrical poles fell and cause fires) & damage homes. We were without power for several hours.. I believe God was angry and I can see why.I told my Pastor at Church everything what Dustin is doing & my Pastor and I prayed together.

Dustin feels that because God is a Spirit,(Holy Ghost) & that said to him is alright to go Ghost Hunting and be part of a Christian Church, by teaching about all he does?.

Last I checked, Catholic and Christian were actually the same thing. It’s not like he claims Catholic and Protestant. Also, I’d leave it to God to judge the guys heart.

I feel that you guys are too harsh. If Dustin wants to share his love of God…why stop him. God accepts and forgives everyone…I have read most of the bible in full and from what I can see you are looking for things to bring him down.
If he also has a passion for the Paranormal than so be it. The ghosts they are looking for in the show are claimed to already be there, the Ghost Hunters are only communicating with what already exists.
This is only my opinion.

Look I’ve read over this stuff you’ve all written and it makes me laugh, you call yourself a follower of God, yet you are out judging people. Let God be the judge of people, not Mankind. It’s not are role. If you are spending your time bashing people for their beliefs and the way they express themselevs you are no better than the worse of the worse, God didn’t put us here to go around bashing people. Use your time to worship the Lord, in my opinion you attacking Dustin or anyone else for that matter is not the Lord’s bidding, and if you read the Bible you’d know that. To each is their own, We all have different ways of showing our faith, and we all have different ways of worship, Mankind does not have the right to say which way is the right way, and honestly neither does the church, because until the day there is solid proof of the correct way, we are all in the dark with only our light of faith to lead us to where we need to be and if we believe in God then he will show us the way. Now with that said I read some comments earlier that were made about Dustin being a hateful person and a rude person, and I’m gonna tell you this. I have met Dustin a numerous number of times in my life, and I have even Interviewed him a handful of times with different things. Dustin is not a hateful person by any means. He is actually one of the most down to earth people I know, and one of the most giving and gratful people I have met. The man supports his family and stands by his friends. What he decides to do in his spare time is his business and no one elses honestly. I don’t think anyone would like it if someone told you, you were wrong for something you do in your spare time wether it was for money or as a hobby, and honestly that’s for God to decided. So instead of using all your energy to attack,bash, put down and try to decharacterize some one and yes this is being said to those that are posting negitive stuff in here. Us the energy towards your religion and things and let God do the judging, your only his servant not his right hand man…

Yeah coming from a mouth that is good friends with Dustin.Once again , Dustin is a devious – evil guy that is praying on forgiveness, for he has done to others. Using them to gain publicity and fame.He will never change. And lastly, Dustin can NEVER correct the bible!
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 (New Living Translation)
A Call to Holy Living
9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. 10 For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering.[a] And do not let your people practice fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, 11 or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your God will drive them out ahead of you. 13 But you must be blameless before the Lord your God. 14 The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the Lord your God forbids you to do such things.”
Footnotes:
1. Deuteronomy 18:10 Or never make your son or daughter pass through the fire.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2018:9-14&version=NLT
Christian critics condemn ghost hunters by supposedly relying upon scripture in the Old Testament. They use Lev. 19:31 that according to Christian critics reads as follow: Do not resort to ghosts and spirits, nor make yourselves unclean by seeking them out. I am the Lord your God.
However, in the King James Version, this verse says: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. The King James Version does not speak about ghosts or spirits, but about using people who channel entities and from those who seek wizards. This verse is directed toward mediums and psychics who call upon their guides, not about documenting the existence of the spirits of the dead.
Christian critics also quote Lev. 20:6 which they quote as: I will set my face against the man who wantonly resorts to ghosts and spirits, and I will cut that person off from his people. Not true. In the King James Version, this verse reads as: And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Again some Christian critics have taken the term, “familiar spirits” to mean ghosts and spirits, but according to the full verse, the warning is to avoid those who have familiar spirits, such as mediums and psychics and to avoid wizards. No where in the verse does it talk about ghosts or ghost hunters.
Christian critics also use Lev. 20:27 which they claim says: Any man or woman among you who calls up ghosts or spirits shall be put to death. The people shall stone them; their blood shall be on their own heads. Again, according to the earlier King James Version, the verse really says: A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them. Again the verse speaks about mediums and psychics who call upon their familiar spirits to channel information. It says nothing about ghosts. The God of the Old Testament does not want competition from mediums and psychics, but wants the people to turn only to Him for answers and guidance.

I’m not a good friend of his, I don’t talk to him regularly I don’t have his contact info, But I’ll leave that at that… and again as for the rest of your stuff I won’t go further into religion than i had already, Your beliefs are your own and everyone elses is theres, and no one has the right to say what is right or wrong cause they don’t know, and as for your PROOF that the human authors of the bible were inspired by God, you don’t have the PROOF, they are just words, you weren’t there, you don’t know.. That’s like say Obama comes on TV and says GOD told me to do this, well were is the proof if he is the only one to see or hear it?? it’s not there for everyone else to see, so some will believe him and some won’t, just how it goes, but I’ll stop with that because like i said be for to each their own, and I don’t knock anyone for their belief and never will…. All follow your faith because the only thing that matters is what you believe in your heart and no one should press their views upon anyone, let God decide not your follow mankind as to what is the right way and the wrong way.. Follow your heart and your faith don’t follow what someone else tells you, be a leader and God will show you the way.

I have never met or communicated with Dustin in any way shape or form, and I thought I’d get that out before you condem me to hell, too! How in the name of all that is holy does spreading the word of God make him evil? He’s reaching a different audience and getting people to regain faith. He’s not sitting back judging people he doesn’t know, posting a blog about how vain and heartless they are, he’s spreading the light.
Get over it, and learn to love the way HE wants you to.

I’ve met Dustin numerous times. He is THE most polite person i’ve ever met. He is nothing but kind and courteous to the fans. He goes out of his way to accommodate everyone. Shatz62 is basically just making everything up! What ever Dustin calls his faith, why should it bother you. If you dont like it, dont look at it. religious tolerance is the law of the land. deal with it. i like the internet researching bit, that shows no capacity to even get the facts straight, or even try to contact dustin and ask him about it. Why worry about the truth, it just gets in your way of spewing forth your lame unformed thoughts you put in posts.
If you cant take the time to do proper research and preparation , please, disconnect from the internet, and leave everyone else alone. Your thoughts have nothing to do with god, but they do have everything to with ignorance.

I am sure that I may as well talk to the wall, but while you are flipping through Leviticus looking for the word ghost or spirit, don’t miss this one…
LEVITICUS 19:15-17: “Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.”
Now, onto more important verses, such as this from the book of Matthew in the NEW Testament…
MATTHEW 7:1-5:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
I could debate what your verse regarding ghosts and spirits mean all day long, but I am not going to because it does not matter. What people knew about those things thousands of years ago is not what we know about those things now, so advice from a completely different time period is not even applicable when it comes to subjects such as these. That would be like suddenly saying the world is flat again because it was said way back when, even though we have pictures of it’s roundness today.
As for your use of the Tikkun Olam blog, that is just sad and shows that you have no knowledge of the situation, as I can tell you for a fact that Derick and Dustin are friends, and Dustin still supports TO, because I am involved with the group myself. Dustin may be a public figure, but his personal relationships are none of your business.
In my opinion I think that you should seek some spiritual advice and also some professional counseling. I don’t think that your issue here has anything to do with religion, I think that it has more to do with an unhealthy and unstable obsession that you have here. “I try being Dustin’s fan but I just can not be because of his bad attitude.” Why would you be a fan of someone involved in a field that you are proclaiming is evil and deserves death?? That makes 0% sense. “I have studied Dustin Pari over the internet for quit a few years…” Why? Why would you do that? There are so many other, more Christian pass times that you could find besides internet stalking. You could volunteer your time at a food bank or a shelter, you could organize a charity and hold an event for donations (like so many paranormal groups do).

Wow…simply wow. As if there is not enough drama in this field now we are bashing on a guy who is using his faith and in a position in life to use his notoriety to help spread Gods word? Of course we are. This is how its been since the beginning of it all. lol It is sad really that some ill informed people have nothing better to do than trash another human being. I personally have met Dustin several times and he is one of the most real people I have had the pleasure to work with in any fashion. I usually decide not to comment on such things , but came across the link on facebook and decided I will stand up and support Dustin Pari and Patch Ministry wholeheartedly. What Dustin does is spread the word of God. As a christian, it is your duty to witness to others and to share His word and His Love. I say Godspeed to DP! This is my real ID by the way, because I have nothing to hide.. certainly not gonna post as anonymous or a pseudo name, because I fully support what Dustin’s ministry is all about.

I have known Dustin for quite a long time. There is not a nicer guy than Dustin Pari. I’m glad to call him friend. And I have personally exchanged emails with him in reference to his ministry and I know how sincere he is about it.
So to the Dustin Bashers on here, listen up: You fit the Pharisee and Sadducees’ description perfectly in that you ‘strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.’ It goes on to say that you ‘clean up the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within are full of extortion and excess.’ It also goes on to say ” you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” That description fits all of you perfectly.
You idiotic morons do all your posts on here trying to bring attention to your pathetic selves; trying to be “Holier” than anyone else. Well guess what? You are nothing but HYPOCRITES! SO go burn in HELL!!

Well Marina you are actually WRONG!. Dustin is not really into religion – he is a GOLD DIGGER!. He is truly after money honey. For your information – it has come to my attention that after Dustin and his wife filed BANKRUPTCY, Dustin immediately started this Patch Ministry,(traveling state to state). A nonprofit is NOT what he is actually after. Seriously why after 5 – 9 years being a Ghost Hunter with TAPS ,he wanted something more? Its all about MONEY!!. This information came to my in box & Dustin & his wife Diane S. are listed in these links. Stroll down the list & you’ll see for your self.. Have a blessed day dear:-) Nobody knows Dustin more than I do. You can talk professionally like a attorney here on Christwire or any site but you can NOT fool me a bit.

What they are doing is looking to help trapped spirits, or to try to find out more about them & the differences in our parallels. It has very little to do about disturbing the peace. They have no peace, they a re trapped in a place they no longer belong . You clearly don’t know much of anything about this to have an opinion yet you sure love to go on about it. Dustin is gentle, & careful, loving, & gracious to spirit & has taken slack for wanting to help them . Because some people i this field want to exploit hauntings as if trapped spirits were a side show freakdom.
If someone in your family was murdered & trapped in a place, suffering & confused in their traumatic passing, you’d be lucky & blessed to have people like us to help you to help them. THAT is what we do.People that look to form a team to have fame but to not learn or help, should do something else . Dustin was doing what he loves, putting the pieces together for himself & did all he could , the best way that he could with nothing but heart. You have no idea that sacrifices GHI makes to do what they do. To be home next to never , exhausted in the energy of tortured souls. It takes so much from you to do this work. It comes with cost. You are chosen divinely for it. HOW you do it, is up to you. Not everyone is a good “investigator” as we have seen. It’s beautiful to see how compassionate Dustin is & to someone he has never met or will probably never even see but he is aware of their pain & helps them anyway knowing he gains nothing from it because they are no longer of this world & may not even have living family left. How very selfless & kind. To do it for so many years , shows a great care & passion. Not everything is on tv you know…
Bless you Dustin & all those who vow to help spirit.

It is a honor to speak to Ghost Hunters here and their fans, on the behalf of Dustin, but it isn’t going to change my mind what I think of him.Dustin is NOT a sweetheart. He is a selfish,ignorant SOB that thinks for him self but not for the ones that know him to much.Going amount having spiky hair – wearing a visor upside down and backwards. A guy that thinks for him self and said on one of Ghost Hunters episode,’ I’m to pretty for this.’.. He thinks he is ALL that and nobody is better than him. Personally I can not stand the guy and have no feelings for him. Whats their to be jealous of?. I do not like guys that have no heart for anyone but him self.Dustin is a young youth that dressed like a punk,(spiky hair), wanting one to hold a pocket size mirror while driving in a TAPS van so he can spike his hair.. What a punk that thinks for him self. NO I’m not jealous,just Dustin makes me sick…Him following Jesus,(practicing religious ,Ministry & still goes Ghost Hunting?). Dustin will burn in hell and be stoned. He thinks the Holy Bible is wrong & that he can correct the Christian Faith?. He will be punish eventually .. I believe that Rhode Island was flooded and GOD has caused it all. GOD is angry and Dustin is making it worse. More storms will hit Rhode Island – it’s just a matter of time when you’ll Ghost Hunters and fans of Dustin are not least expected.What Dustin is doing is a attention getter,(wanting everyone to think he is GOD).. He us nothing but a devious evil guy carrying out is guilt and thinking Jesus will cure him.. Just remember,(it has happen more than once), Dustin has been scratch on his body,face and has his hair pulled more than once in the middle of the night, and I knew it all along before he talked about it on public radio. GOD is angry and for that, GOD flooded Rhode Island and it WILL happen again,especially now GOD knows Dustin is trying to change the Christian faith. AND to Paranormal Investigators that are professional in this field , I read your web sites online and read how to change the wording in the Holy Bible!… I read the one and TRUE Holy Bible and that’s the James King Version. Your version ‘Ghost Hunters’ are WRONG!!. You think just changing the wording in the Holy Bible is accurate?. NO IT ISN’T.. Oh well – sever storms are heading your way. THANK YOU to Christ wire to being TRUE Christians!!.. Your WEB SITE here IS all true!!. Keep up the god work.. LOVE YOU all from Christ wire.

I don’t know Dustin personally, but I do watch Ghosthunters because I want to better understand the paranormal. Despite SyFy’s best attempts to do otherwise, the show treats “ghosts” as a serious field to be studied instead of a cheap scare tactic. Dustin has stated that his reason for being involved in studying the paranormal is to better understand and to prove that there is life after death. Some other members of the team are also Christians and have expressed a similar reason for what they do. I am a Christian, and I have had experiences with the paranormal. None of these experiences were scary, evil, or dangerous. I too have wondered why there are ghosts, spirits, energy, etc. still on this Earth after a person dies, and how it relates to my own faith and beliefs. Christians who believe in or study the paranormal are not doing something evil or blasthemous. They are simply trying to better understand what causes paranormal occurences and how it relates to our life after death.

Child of God : Thank you for being generous and kind. I understand what your saying & you have the right to voice your own opinion.. I understand if someone home or business was haunted that a Paranormal team would investigate but I fear if I was to get involved in the Paranormal field that I would not go to heaven but be put to death!. That is what I read in the original James Version Bible. GOD is our father and father’s from churches bless haunted homes. I do hear about it all but I wouldn’t dare get involved in being a Ghost Hunter – due to the fact what the Bible said about Ghost Hunting.

I just had to comment on this post because I just can NOT believe what you people are saying. Dustin is one of the sweetest people in the world. I don’t know where you all are getting your information but if you just read his twitter and how much he loves the Lord, his wife, and his little girls you see that. I have never met him personally but even seeing him on GH and GHI you can see how much he cares about the cases he goes on especially when dealing with families in trouble. That’s one of the main reasons they go on these cases is to help families that are being affected by the paranormal. Yes the Bible doesn’t say anything about ghosts excluding the Holy Ghost that resides within us after we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” if we have accepted Him as our Savior. But I personally believe that ghosts can either be demons or angels, or demons disguised as people or angels as people. And God hasn’t told us everything about the spiritual world or about our world in general. He just wants us to believe in Him and trust Him. We will never know everything He does until all of his children have gone to Heaven.
And I am appalled with all of you saying Dustin and the Ghost Hunters will be stoned and killed and even natural disasters happened in Rhode Island because of them. How DARE you say what God’s will is when you are CLUELESS to His will. I am disgusted with you people speaking for God when you have no right to do so.
Matthew 7:1-5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Stop judging others including Dustin and the other Ghost Hunters when you 1. Don’t know them personally 2. Don’t know each of their hearts and what they stand for 3. That is God’s job not yours
I will support Dustin in whatever he does and his ministry is very inspirational. You all need to read the Bible yourself because you obviously haven’t realized that judging is not your job.

Excuse me @Adam Nelson but who do you think you are being the judge of what TAPS is doing? You have no right. And they are NOT a ouiji occult, and there is no such thing. They are going to cases helping families and businesses and people that are truly frightened by the unknown. There are things out there that we can not see and TAPS is helping. They go in with thousands of dollars worth of high tech equipment and devices. TAPS has said millions of times they are skeptics going in to DISPROVE that there are ghosts/spirits. They do not hold seances or pull out ouiji boards because they have said before that they have seen only bad things come out of those. TAPS members do not go into a case saying, “Ok where’s this ghost and lets conjure it up and have a chat”. I don’t know what show you’re watching but Ghost Hutners is not an occult and I sure as heck not a “disciple” the only one I follow is God himself. I can’t beleive how many people like you think they know Dustin when you have not one stitch of evidence that he’s a jerk. I haven’t seen one thing that would make me believe he is a horrible person. Show me proof then I might give you a lick of respect but I’m not promising anything.

Once again – you are way out of line!.. Dustin is not a innocent guy & does not give a rats ass but anyone but him self.At the last minute,(after being a member of TAPS for over 5-6 years) Dustin wants to teach everyone to turn to the lord & make this world a friendlier place?. Teach them also about believing in the Paranormal?.Dustin is into cult. That however IS AGAINST the Bible & he NEEDS to learn to be NICE & stop being sarcastic to everyone when ask him a simple question online..That is what you call a guy that thinks for him self by showing he is the ONLY Paranormal Rock Star in the world?. A guy that rush in writing a book call ‘The Complete Approach’ with errors in writing,(insulting other Ghost Hunters) saying to hang it up because they do not know anything about Ghost Hunting?.. Dustin is a complete SOB & is losing fans daily from his My Space & Face book sites.. I was even told numerous of times via e-mail to not get to close to Dustin because he is mean and vain & will talk about ya right behind your back.He’s a asshole!.. YEAH people were right & I read it all in the ‘The Complete Approach’ book.I re turn the book back to the store & told the store that I purchase the wrong book & want my money back.

Yada Yada Yada – that is your opinion but watching the asshole on Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International – I can see right through Pinocchio, how he acts and talks. Thinking he is all that when he is not.. Showing off by having a you-tube.com video of him wrestling & winning in a wrestling match. And not to mention – copying Jenson Ackles ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ original video..Talk about wanting to have center full attention. Dustin was hiding from public two years ago & than coming back in 2007, do all these things for publicity?. His step son that’s 19 years old can not admit that Dustin married his mother. Never once where you will hear Dustin speak for his son, because he knows he is not accepted by him.Oh and Pinocchio plays in a tribute band as a lead singer. Oh I’m the one & only Paranormal Rock Star & now I am running a ‘The Patch Ministry’. I want to teach the world to be a friendlier place. But its a different story when Dustin was the one that started the Tikkun Olam page on My Space,(found a black young boy in his early twenties on the internet all messed out – in trouble and abused. Dustin helped this guy Derick become popular by being part of Tikkun Olam on My Space,(went on talk radio’s explaining about Derick and helping him become popular)?. Having Derick’s My Space banner & his page on top of his My Space page?. I warned Derick more than once that Dustin is using him to gain publicity?. Derick ignored but what happen?. Once again – read the topic of this topic.. Derick got nailed!!.. He was not on his Tikkun Olam page for weeks & when he came back – he post a blog explaining how he lost a GOOD friend,(how he target him and dumped him out of no where).This poor young youth has no love from his own family & now Dustin hurts him for no reason at all,(takes his Tikkun Olam banner off his My Space & Derick off his top)…I feel so bad for Derick because he really thought Dustin was his mentor when Dustin intentionas was to gain publicity.Now Derick is thinking of deleting his Tikkun Olam page because he lost a guy he thought would help him get of out trouble,(a guy that promise to change the world and make it more a friendlier place).Dustin emotionally & mentally abuse Tikkun Olam – Derick.Derick loved Dustin and was excited to tell people on Tikkun Olam the gifts Dustin sent him on Christmas?. But now that Dustin no longer of Tikkun Olam – Derick is all alone and HEART BROKEN because Dustin pushed him out of his life!..Yes Dustin is a internet stalker. He saved Derick,(got on his good side).. Help Derick gain popularity by creating a Tikkun Olam page. Bought Derick gifts for Christmas.. Talk to Derick numerous of times on the phone.. Help Derick to get up & be a strong boy.. Dustin was a mentor to Derick.. Derick was SO EXCITED to be supported by Dustin. BUT as of now – Derick is not in Dustin life anymore because Dustin used him for publicity and attention.No Dustin is not popular and I know a lot more about Dustin than you would think you know..He loses fans everyday from his My Space & Face book. He’ll gain them and than again loses them.Dustin goes on several talk radio’s & talks about how he did this – how he did that for Tikkun Olam & how he is a mentor to Derick,but when Dustin can not get full attention & gain popularity – he throws everything away(especially Derick – a young youth that is 11 years younger than Dustin) I am good friends with Donna LaCroix from Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters Intentional.I have her home address. Her & I talk quit a bit.Dustin uses people like Derick to show off how he thinks he is all that when he is nothing but white trash,(a poor excuse to be a celebrity!!).. If I ever saw him in person,(which I wouldn’t be caught dead with him), I would just keep on walking like he is just another punk walking the streets looking for trouble).. And that is actual how he treated Derick. He was all lovely and supportive to Derick and than at the last minute – he dumped him for no reason..I would love to go to California and find Derick,(hug him tight and tell him for now on – keep talking with Barry Fitzgerald) because Barry is a love bug.. Barry I know for a fact is nothing compare to Dustin. Barry is a sweet – kind & supportive man..Derick is doing good & so far http://myspace.com/tikkunolam08 is still up and running!!.So don’t tell me that Dustin is supportive and nice..

Well, if this page don’t beat all! Here we have a bunch of mindless Ghost Hunter groupies defending their heros without reservation and a bunch of over zealous religious demonstrating how to twist Christianity for their own purpose. Let me make a couple of points if you don’t mind………….
1. TAPS, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Ghost Hunter Academy is a television program for entertainment. It is not a documentary or reality tv, it is a pseudo-scripted program that serves one purpose; ratings and advertising dollars. None and I mean none of the cast members are anything more than part of the popularity machine. Despite the numerous accusations of fraud and setting up situations to seem paranormal, GH fans rush to their idols sides to defend them with undying devotion. All of this for a chance to rub elbows with a bunch of losers that have done more to hurt paranormal research that anyone will readily admit. If it were up to me, I’d not only cancel every paranormal/ghost themed tv program and charge the production companies for conspiracy to commit fraud.
2. When will you thick skulled zealots realize that your ravings do more to harm your case that it does to help it. You obviously know nothing about real paranormal research or spiritual warefare outside what your cult leader has told you. First of all, since the crucifixation and Jesus’ resurrection the faithful and true believers have been given salvation through Christ’s blood. The 10 Commandments were given to the Jews during their trek out of Egypt to help them live by God’s laws so they could go to heaven. And even though we all may strive to follow these commandments to lead a better Christian life, our salvation is assured by faith, not words! Second, attempting to associate research and investigation with raising up spirits makes as much sense as shooting yourself in the foot. The Bible is full of instances where spirits or ghosts interacted with people. Remember when Jesus appeared to the disciples after his death? He was a spirit and not flesh and blood at that point and it’s clear they (the disciples) didn’t raise him. What about when Christ talks about seeing Moses and Elijah, they were spirits too; these were just two cases of spirits or ghosts in the Bible.
It’s time that both sides of this issue wake up and smell the coffee and realize there is much more to this topic than the blind devotion to tv cast members and what a religious leader tells you what is real and true. Even though I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, I’m smart enough to know that Man has toyed, changed, mis-interpretted and perverted for their own benefit. Use your brain (that’s the lump 3 feet above your asses) that God gave you to study the Bible thoroughly for yourself and/or speak to others of faith that believe. But most of all, turn your tv’s off when these shows come on unless you have sense enough to know it’s entertainment to help sell and promote commercial products through advertising.
Maybe then, we can come together and work to get to the truth together.

Dustin is a fruitcake – that speaks for him self. A motuh full of lies. As much as I can not stand him – pushed him to hard – he decided to go his seperate ways – He FINALLY left GHI & GH.. Thank god he listen to me. You explain to me how Dustin finds the time to Ghost Hunt,(has events all month long and do ministry)?. Where does he find the time to have a REAL working job – has Ghost Hunting events all month long & do ministry?. Its impossible..

I for one, appreciate him and his kindness and he is an inspiration to me!!!

Dustin does not like me because I can see right through him.. He knows that I know him very well & that Dina is,(Dustin is a compulsive liar when speaking on the internet but behind the scene’s) – he is a mean – evil bastard.. I am so happy that my complaint reach TAPS,(that he got to the point of leaving Ghost Hunters). Dustin is a complete joke & him being part of ‘The Patch Ministry’ is not going to change my mind about what I think of him. He won’t reach the Kingdom of GOD. You know what Dina? Jason Hawes is a f*&ing Asshole BUT I know he has a heart and cares.. I even told him he was via e-mail & he knows it was me because I even told him.. I know Jason very well to but I also know he is a kind hearted guy that does look up to his fans & does care but Dustin?. You can’t fix stupid!..Dustin does not have a heart – so why bother reasoning with him?. It is a waste of time..

I follow him on twitter and read encouragement and transparent conversation that makes me smile. http://twitter.com/#!/dustinpari I read his mission statement for Patch Ministry…
“The Patch Ministry was formed in an effort to reach out to the lost and bring them back home to God. A core belief within our ministry is first and foremost, accepting that we are all sinners, that we are all imperfect and undeserving, that we have all made mistakes, and in order to redeem ourselves and gain eternal life, we must accept Christ into our hearts, repent for our sins and then lead our lives according to His teachings.
Jesus is the only one who can save us, the only one who died for the forgiveness of our sins, and the only one who can make us whole. (Hence the “Patch”)
The Patch Ministry is a Christian ministry that focuses on helping those from all walks of life, wherever they may be in their own spiritual journey, to form an intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We are also a Non-Profit Organization that uses the funds raised through your involvement to support the ministry, as well as to benefit such charities as the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Victory Junction.”
He seems like a nice enough guy to me…I applaud his heart and drive to start a ministry. Many have the idea and desire, butand I am sorry that so many people think that Christians are supposed to be perfect people or something…or they are supposed to act perfect based on someone’s opinion, convictions, or preferences. God called each of us to walk our own walk…NONE of us are perfect and the only thing we can count on is we will be let down, and we will let those around us down at some point too. I hope you are able to forgive him for whatever he did to offend you. Praying for blessings in your life….
