DECLARATION OF MELANIE LEE


DECLARATION OF MELANIE LEE
1 I, Melanie Lee declare as follows:
2 1. I am a former member of the Shekinah Church. I make this declaration in
3 support of Defendant Melanie Lee’s Notice of Motion and Special Motion to Strike Pursuant
4 to Code of Civil Procedure 425.16. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth below,
5 and if called to testify, I could and would competently testify to them.
6 2. In 1999, when I was 13 years old, Robert Shinn through other members of
7 Shekinah Church, recruited me and my two older sisters to join Shekinah Church.
8 3. At the time, my sisters and I had been abandoned by our parents and were
9 struggling to make ends meet.
10 4. Robert referred to himself as “the Man of God.” Robert and other members of
11 Shekinah initially made me feel like I could trust Robert and his advice.
12 5. Robert explains that he refers to himself as “the Man of God” because he
13 believes that he was specially chosen by God to carry out his word. Robert pressured his
14 congregation to give up everything to Robert and the Church. He expected members to give
15 all of their time and money to Shekinah and to cut out any friends or family not part of the
16 Church. Robert explained that this was the only way to show commitment to Robert and the
17 Church.
18 6. While I was a member of Shekinah Church Robert psychologically manipulated
19 me and exploited my labor.
20 7. Around 2001 – 2002, when I was 15 - 16 years old, Peace Montgomery made
21 sexual advances towards me. He was my Sunday School teacher at Shekinah at the time and
22 he was 9 years older than me. Because of the existing oppression I was already in as member
23 of Shekinah, I didn’t feel that it was safe for me to confide in any of the leaders. Peace was
24 in-charge of picking me up from school and there wasn’t any way I could avoid him.
25 8. Robert eventually found out that Peace committed statutory rape against me but
26 allowed him to remain in the Church regardless and never reported him to any authorities, as
27 far as I am aware. Instead, Robert and Shekinah punished me for the fact that Peace raped
28 me. This is the “affair” that Plaintiffs refer to in paragraph 32 of the Complaint.
DECLARATION OF MELANIE LEE
1
1 9. I am aware of Robert having sex with at least four other members of the Church
2 while he was married.
3 10. One former church member told me that while she was working for Robert and
4 while he was married, he would regularly take her to a room above the office during work hours
5 and demand sex from her.
6 11. In 2008, approximately half the congregation left Shekinah after a Sunday service
7 where several female members accused Robert of having sexually assaulted them. The same day
8 that he was accused, he admitted in front of the remaining congregation to having a sex
9 addiction.
10 12. For these reasons I stated during an Instagram Live that “This is just my opinion I
11 guess I have to put a disclaimer… this is just my opinion…[Robert’s] just like a sex addict,
12 which is very common in cult leaders, I feel like”
13 13. Robert told me and other members of Shekinah Church that unless they fully
14 submitted to him, their lives and their family’s lives would be destroyed and that they would go
15 to hell. Robert told me and other members of Shekinah Church that they would experience
16 poverty, sickness, and death of their loved ones without full submission to him.
17 14. Robert required me and other members to disclose their deepest secrets and fears,
18 so that he could exploit them and use them for blackmail if we tried to leave or complain about
19 him.
20 15. These are examples of the brainwashing I was referring to when I made the
21 statement “Yes, there’s a lot of brainwashing…Robert’s just like the leader of it…”
22 16. Beginning in approximately 2000 I worked as a cinematographer on a television
23 show produced by and starring Robert called “Millionaire’s Club.” The show aired on cable
24 television and each episode was approximately one hour long and involved Robert giving a
25 sermon. The show had a banner across the bottom of the screen with the name “Shekinah
26 Church” as well as the then-current address and telephone number for Shekinah. The end credit
27 included this information as well. True and correct copies of screenshots from this show are
28 attached hereto as Exhibit A.

DECLARATION OF MELANIE LEE


2
1 17. When I joined Shekinah, Robert required me to purchase several books that he
2 had written and self-published. These books purported to help members heal themselves and
3 live more righteous lives. A true and correct copy of one of these books, entitled “How to Get
4 Healed and Not Die,” is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
5 18. In 2011 I left Shekinah Church because I felt that my life was threatened. For the
6 previous two years Robert had been making sexual advances to me, which I’d been rejecting.
7 One evening in 2011 Robert called me and told me that I needed to be ready to give up my body
8 and die for Christ and asked what I was willing to do. The way that Robert was talking made me
9 afraid that I was going to get raped and that is ultimately why I left Shekinah.
10 19. I did not make, nor do I have control over, any of the Instagram accounts
11 referenced in the complaint in the above-captioned action, other than @surviving_shekinah and
12 @melgoldy. I have never created a Redditor Discord account. I have a Facebook account and a
13 Tik Tok account that is inactive. I have never posted regarding any of Plaintiffs on my social
14 media accounts.
15 20. I have never communicated with any of the companies referred to in paragraph 53
16 of the Complaint.
17 21. I did not create or distribute the flyer pictured in the Complaint at paragraph 57.
18 22. I did not have any communication with Kevin “Konkrete” Davis, Alexandra
19 Watkins, Gordon Watkins, Kylie Douglas, or Aubrey Fisher-Greene until after they had already
20 left Shekinah and 7M.
21 23. I made the statement on Instagram Live that “our goal is to help free the
22 remaining members and bring down organizations like [Robert] that take advantage of young
23 people and ruin people’s lives” because most of the members that Robert recruits to Shekinah are
24 young people in their late teens or early twenties. I was young person when Robert recruited me
25 and he took advantage of me by, among other things, forcing me to work for free for over 1800
26 hours. This is evidenced by the fact that I won a labor suit against him. A true and correct copy
27 of the order in this suit is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

1 24. Also, when I graduated high school, I asked to attend college or film school but
2 Robert told me I could not. Instead, I was forced to work for one of their businesses, called
3 Vickie’s Flowers and Café, right after high school graduation and was paid $100 per month. My
4 hours were Monday – Saturday, 7 AM – 7 PM, with no breaks. Because I wasn’t allowed to
5 receive my college degree, when I left Shekinah, it was very difficult for me to find a job.
6 25. On Instagram Live I made the statement “since I’ve started to give you guys
7 inside information, I’ve received threats and…very aggressive messages…” because I got a
8 message through Facebook Messenger from an ex-member’s daughter calling me a “snake,” a
9 “shitty person,” and a “leech.” Another ex-member texted me “Robert and Catherine aimed
10 killed us like Thomas killed himself. Everyone abuses my family and that included you.
11 …Judgment always comes and harvest comes. Never, ever give me attitude like you have done
12 for many years. You were supported by me just like everyone, including Robert and Catherine
13 and oh, that bitch Yi girls. You acted just like those bitches.”
14 26. On Instagram Live I made the statement “Everyone that has left, it was an escape.
15 It was like packing your shit in the middle of the night, with a runaway car” because when I left I
16 did not have my own phone, a car, so I had to call another member who had left years ago from a
17 payphone to come pick me up at a specific time when no one else from the Church would be
18 home. I was afraid that if anyone knew I was leaving, I would be physically assaulted.
19 27. I also made the statement “This is an organization that if you tell them you don’t
20 wanna be there anymore, they take all of your money, they take your car, they take your clothes.
21 They physically assault you, they ruin your reputation” because I witnessed this happening
22 several times to members that left before me.
23 28. Robert and other members of Shekinah, including Plaintiff Hannah Shinn,
24 participated in these beatings and thefts, which is why I said “I know this about Robert, but there
25 are other people in there that are abusers…”
26 29. I stated that “The people who are vocal were publicly humiliated,
27 mistreated…and they make sure to set an example because they’ll do it in public. For example,
28 if someone says, ‘I don’t agree with this’ then they get yelled at in front of everybody,” because I

1 witnessed many members, including me, get scolded during sermons and meetings if anyone
2 questioned or disagreed with Robert.
3 30. I stated that “Robert would grope people in public” because this happened to me
4 and I’ve witnessed him do it to other church members.
5 31. I stated that “I don’t think it’s a church anymore. I think now it’s just like an
6 organization that makes [Robert] money” because I am aware that a lot of the members Robert
7 has recently recruited to Shekinah are Tik Tok dancers that Plaintiff 7M was managing and
8 profiting from.
9 32. I stated that “I have no idea what Robert’s thinking…he just thought he could get
10 away from it for so long…just shows me that he’s a dumb person” because I don’t understand
11 how Robert thought he could manipulate, mistreat and steal from so many people without getting
12 caught or being held accountable.
13 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
14 foregoing is true and correct. Executed on December 6, 2022 at Los Angeles, California.

HEALING CAN BE LOST!


Chapter7

HEALING CAN BE LOST!

I know a Christian who is an active member of a


church that believes in Divine healing. Although he goes
to such a church, he does not believe in it because he had
never been an eyewitness to a permanent healing. One
healing that he did see was in a person cured of cancer.
But a few months later, the cancer had returned.

One well known healing evangelist shared on


national TV that he received many disturbing letters from
Christians who were healed at his healing crusades. The
problem was that many people lost the healing that they
had received at the crusade.

When your thinking is not right, you open the door


to the devil. In the natural, what you think may be sincere,
honest and reasonable but in truth you have just given the
devil permission to put terrible sicknesses and other evil
things on you. One of the reasons why we study the Bible
is so that our minds will be renewed and that our thoughts
will be lined up with the Word of God. Clearly, when
your thoughts are wrong, you say the wrong things and
therefore you do the wrong things. The devil is never
worried about "sincere" Christians but he does get very
anxious and concerned when Christians learn, keep and
live by the principles of God's Word.

Many people pray for and receive healing but end


up losing it because they think they didn't receive the
healing when in fact they did. The unseen devil deceives
them into thinking they did not get healed although in
actuality they did. Often the reason for the loss of healing
is due to their ignorance regarding a few simple facts
about Divine health and healing.
