Reading List


A new book to consider, I have read it cover to cover and it is very good.

It covers many if not all aspects of the trouble in Granite City from a secular perspective.

Another good book about this situation is

Confronting Jezebel: Discerning and Defeating the Spirit of Control By Steve Sampson




A very good look at the situation from a Christian perspective.
If you have spent any time in Granite City in front of Hope Clinic get ready for a shock.

You can also still buy this at Borders Books and most of the local bookstores and Christian Book stores carry this or can order it pretty quick.

These are the main Jezebel characteristics.
But not all Jezebels have all of these traits.
Sound like anyone we know?

1. Refuses to admit guilt or wrong doing.
2. Takes credit for everything.
3. Uses people to accomplish its agenda.
4. Withholds information.
5. Talks in confusion, speaks but never really clarifies a point.
6. Volunteers for everything.
7. Lies. Sometimes for no apparent reason about the smallest of things.
8. Ignores people that could disagree with them.
9. Never gives credit or shows gratitude.
10. Criticizes everyone.
11. Upstages others.
12. Controls information.
13. Uses information.
14. Talks incessantly.
15. Spiritualizes everything.
16. Is insubordinate.
17. Is pushy and domineering.
18. Is clairvoyant. Even to the point of knowing things no one else could
possibly know.
19. Uses the element of surprise.
20. Sows seeds of discord.
21. Commands attention.
22. Is vengeful.
23. Attempts to make you look like you're the Jezebel.
24. Insinuates disapproval.
25. Knows it all.
26. Is over ambitious.
27. Manipulates through gift giving.
28. Is independent, accepting or having no other authority over it.
29. Is super religious.
30. Can hide(appear normal), and strike without warning.
31. Will take advantage of the most easily lead.
32/ Wants or tries to make everyone believe they are the only ones that can do the job or task. Indispensable

The Jezebel may be Male or Female.
Jezebel controllers are almost always motivated by insecurity, and can't tolerate rejection.

She has almost all of these qualities.
Especially 1,2, 23, 17 & 11.
Refuses to admit guilt or wrong doing.
Takes credit for everything.
Is pushy and domineering.
Upstages others.
Attempts to make you look like you're the Jezebel.

How did you find these books?

Teri,

In answer to your question.

They were referred to us by several people we had sought counsel with.

These were experts in their fields and people well trained in dealing with this type of personality.

We found these books to be the most accurate and direct material for the situation.

Keep it up.

I have read the books, they are fascinating! Especially with respect to the situation in Granite City. The behavior of the Michaels is so over the top!

If anyone is interested in seeing what people in Highland are saying about these people, check this out:

You may find new meaning to "we need a price check in the meat department".

This book is on my buy list. I wonder if the author lives next door to the Michael family? Just a thought because it describes a problem the Michael family members have.

Those two troubled people are in serious need of professional help but for some unknown reason they continue to torment peaceful people regularly. They are creating a situation which seems to be very dangerous. How long can people like this continue to be mean and insulting without penalty. That is the kind of life they live in view of the public. Hopefully this website will bring them down.

Father Chris Comerford of Granite City just doesn't get it. You would think that a person with only average intelligence and average eye sight would be able to see through the scandalous behavior of Dan and Angela Michaels who are the sole owners of Small Victories. Not so with Father Chris. He should be aware of the Michael family scandalous behavior and disassociate himself from them but such has not been the case. Father Chris is a close associate of the Michael family and both of them were 40 days for Life coordinators for 2009. It looks like they will also be the 2010 coordinators for that event although this has not yet been announced. A very sad scandalous assignment.

The Knights of Columbus organization leaders must be dumb as dirt. Fairview Heights Council 6996 under the guidance of Kent Swagler of Belleville, are sponsoring a huge yard sale Sept 11, 2010 for the benefit of Dan and Angela Michael family owned Small Victories.
That council is aware of this family scam but insist on channeling the money of the faithful to this hateful troubled twosome and the pride of Highland. Anyone should think twice about giving to any activity sponsored by the Knights of Columbus regardless of where they are located. Give Kent Swagler of Belleville a call or email him at rastamp@charter.net He will be happy to hear from you.

A suggestion to the President. Kent Swagler of Belleville has an email address of rastamp@charter.com and he is probably listed in the phone book. He would probably be very happy to learn that smallvictoriesexposed.com exists and disagrees with his and the Knights of Columbus idea of supporting a fund raiser for Small Victories. Just a suggestion of course.

Father Chris Comerford and the Granite City 21st street queen (Angela Michaels of Small Victories) are once again the coordinators of the 40 Days for life. This is discouraging news because all one has to do is remember the antics of the Michael family and they will then not participate in what could have been a meaningful assembly of pro-life believers. I hope that no pro-lifers follows this troubled persons example.
