[edit] Rebecca Brown M.D.
(born Ruth Irene Bailey in Shelbyville, Indiana on May 21, 1948), a controversial Christian doctor who was reportedly involved in helping people escape the occult in California and elsewhere throughout the world.
Brown later had her medical license revoked [for improper diagnosis and over medication. She is known among Fundamentalist Christians for her undying dedication to promoting a campaign against Satan and what he represents and for advocating a completely devoted life to the Lord Jesus Christ. According to her any others, there is existence of Satanic recruitment camps throughout the world which train future Satanists and Witches.
[edit] Jack Chick
Rebecca Brown and Elaine decided to come forward with what they had experienced to Jack Chick, owner of Chick Publications, who published their claims in two cassette tapes Closet Witches 1 and Closet Witches 2 and in two books He Came To Set The Captives Free (1986) and Prepare for War (1987). Rebecca Brown's stories were the basis for the Chick tract The Poor Little Witch, which portrayed witches recruiting school children into Satanism and infiltrating Christian churches in order to buy off ministers with bribes. [1]
Chick and Brown later decided to end their business relationship after her medical license was revoked. Brown's books were reprinted by Whitaker House in 1992. Jack Chick still defends Rebecca Brown and believes her books are truthful. Many Christians have claimed to have been helped by these books although there are also many who doubt the validity of them. [2]
Her other books are Standing On The Rock, Unbroken Curses and Becoming A Vessel of Honor. Rebecca Brown currently leads a Christian group called Harvest Warriors with her husband Rev. Daniel Yoder. Brown has written a handful of books based on her experiences. Two noteworthy ones are Prepare for War and He Came to Set the Captives Free.
[edit] Elaine
An important associate of Brown's is an alleged ex-Satanist known as Elaine, who Brown claims in her book He Came to Set the Captives Free to have converted to Christianity. Elaine's surname is not mentioned in any of Rebecca Brown's books. Elaine is also the source of many of Rebecca Brown's claims. Among the two women's claims are that Yoga is Satanic, Roman Catholicism is Witchcraft, that Satanists work very closely with the Freemasons and the Roman Catholic Church, tha Brown and Elaine converted about a thousand Satanists, that Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games are Satanic, and speaking in tongues and divine healing cannot always be trusted.
Elaine has also claimed to have been a Satanic High Priestess and married the Devil himself.
Elaine and Dr. Bailey/Brown were long-time roommates and were still living together at the time her first two books were published. [3] Rumours of their lesbian relationship during this time have never been substantiated.
[edit] Controversy
In 1984, Bailey's medical license was revoked by the issuing state of Indiana. The licensing board ruled that on numerous occasions she had "knowingly and intentionally misdiagnosed her patients", blaming their illnesses on "demons, devils, and evil spirits"; a board-appointed psychiatrist diagnosed her as suffering from "acute personality disorders including demonic delusions and/or paranoid schizophrenia". The board also found that she had over-medicated her patients, failed to properly document their treatment, and injected herself with Demerol "on an hourly basis".[4][5]
The 1984 medical board findings from the state of Indiana identified Elaine as Edna Elaine Moses (aka Elaine Moses, aka Elaine Bailey), one of Dr. Bailey's patients, and charged that Bailey had misdiagnosed her with leukemia and inappropriately treated her with large doses of Demerol and Phenobarbital. Dr. Bailey had also given injections of Demerol to Elaine's 15 year old daughter to treat her for "nausea". The findings also reported that Elaine had to be hospitalized for detoxification of the controlled substances Bailey had given her.
In 1986, Bailey successfully petitioned the California Superior Court to change her name to "Rebecca Brown").[6]
