More information from new source[edit]

I have added a couple of paragraphs from Frisbee's autobiography. In the interest of keeping the paragraphs compact, I have had to use ellipsis. Should anyone question my veracity of accurately transcribing Frisbee's intent, I will be glad to provide full sections on this page.

Also, its been over a decade since I have done an edit. If I have made mistakes, let me know, and I will re-edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkSonntag (talk • contribs) 02:44, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction[edit]

It says he struggled with homosexuality. He didn’t struggle with homosexuality – he was a homosexual who struggled to accept himself. 64.253.212.108 (talk) 12:51, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion without quotes and no citation.[edit]

This sentence does not belong: . "The fact that he was gay I hope reminds gay men and women that God has no issue with sexuality. Jesus never looked down on anyone who was gay." Who said this? No citation. It's whose opinion? Whoever wrote that was editorializing and pushing their agenda. 2601:881:282:2810:C5FD:629E:A6FB:E1C8 (talk) 16:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

agreed. Pseudotsuga menziesii (talk) 01:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also agreed, this needs to be taken out. It’s not even worded in a way that tries to sound objective, the author literally wrote “I” referring to themselves 98.225.23.18 (talk) 14:30, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistencies in history.[edit]

On page 2: " Lonnie was rumored to have a wife but never did. Further down on Page 2: He quit the art academy and moved to Novato, California, where the Heefners and Wises set up a commune and later reconnected with his former girlfriend Connie Bremer, whom he then married.

Frisbee and his wife Connie joined the fledgling Calvary Chapel congregation and

Smith was struck by Frisbee's charisma.

on Page 4: In 1973, the Frisbees divorced because Frisbee's pastor had an affair with his wife. Frisbee mentions this in a sermon he gave at the Vineyard Church in Denver, Colorado, a few years before he died.[2] Connie later remarried. Lonnie left the organization.

"performed healings, and miracles"[edit]

This is stated as a fact in the article. The reference links to some book. 217.140.205.191 (talk) 03:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added the word "purportedly" to better comply with WP:VOICE. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 04:16, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
