Rebecca Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Rebecca Julia Brown is the name of a child actress who starred in the film School of Rock.
Rebecca Brown M.D. (born Ruth Irene Bailey in Shelbyville, Indiana on May 21, 1948) has been considered a controversial Christian doctor linked to Jack Chick by the regular media. She is known among Fundamentalist Christians for her dedication to promoting an anti campaign against Satan and what he represents. According to her there is existence of Satanic recruitment camps which in turn train future Satanists and Witches.
In 1984, Bailey's medical license was revoked by the issuing state of Indiana.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".[1][2]
In 1986, Bailey successfully petitioned the California Superior Court to change her name to "Rebecca Brown").[3]
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, Brown and Elaine converted about a thousand Satanists, 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.
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. Elaine and Dr. Bailey/Brown were long-time roommates and were still living together at the time her first two books were published. [4]
[edit] Jack Chick
Rebecca Brown and Elaine have told their claims 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. [5]
Chick and Brown later cut their ties, Chick took Brown's two books out of print, and Brown's books were reprinted by Whitaker House in 1992.
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.
