Hi, I’m Pastor Don Milton. I started my ministry with a novel, Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives. I began writing that novel in the mid 1990s. But the seeds of it were planted during a ministry outreach when I went to Marawi City, Mindanao, in December of 1990. During that trip I interviewed the editor of the Lanao Times. That was 27 years before the Siege of Marawi, when Isis fought its last battle on Mindanao and lost. Much of the city is now gutted and the Lanao Times is long since defunct.
My ministry’s focus has always been to bring those with different beliefs to a greater understanding of God’s Word, in keeping with Romans 10:17 It saddens me to hear pew warmers wax mighty on the errors of other religions while those same so-called Christians have never read their own Bible cover to cover even once, let alone the multiple times that a Christian must read the Bible to have a ready witness to those of other faiths.
but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 1 Peter 3:15–17
I’ve been warned lately, that it’s dangerous to visit Marawi City. And yet, I’m beginning to wonder if that’s more of a challenge than a warning, and I long to return. I’ve still not seen their brass market for which they’re famous nor have I had the enjoyment of going there as a more matured Christian. Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been warned; taming my tongue when discussing the Bible s not one of my characteristics.
By the late 1990s, I placed my novel on my website: Isaiah4vs1. That website grew to be one of the most visited websites of its kind, followed by several other websites that I’ll mention later in this article.
By December of 1998, I sold my successful insurance agency in Seattle. I’d grown it from nothing to a well known agency through the quirky ads that I ran on KISW Radio. It was the most profitable agency in Washington State, as measured by loss ratio. But I sold the Goose that laid the Golden Eggs to seek my destiny in the Philippines.
1999 – 2009 During the subsequent years, I submersed myself in writing and publishing, on the web as well as books in print, through Amazon and Ingram. I also honed my skills in telephone counseling as well as through emails on the topic of marriage. Phone counseling consisted of holding the youngest of my kids in one arm, heating the other kids’ and their friends’ lunches, and answering questions that the latest member of my flock would call to discuss. Their questions were such that so-called pastors were either unwilling or unable to answer them biblically. The difference between me and their pastors is that I didn’t much of an income from my flock, if any. I would hope that if I had, that I would have been able to resist the temptation to tickle the ears. But as it was, I had no incentive to do so. I didn’t need to worry about who I might offend. Another difference is that I believe that non-profit equals non-prophet. When the government bestows a tax exempt status, they expect something in return. You’ll be the judge whether I follow God’s Word or the matriarchs among us. Reading and teaching from the Bible requires honesty and the acceptance of whatever the Bible says, not what we want it to say. American culture, which is primarily of British origin, has many false teachings concerning marriage. An old friend of mine used to call it British femdommery. But if it ever looks like I’m headed away from Scripture, by all means warn me. This quote from the Reverend Martin Madan warns us of that danger.
“Beware of searching for truth anywhere but in the blessed word of God; dread as much to leave it for an instant, as a blind man would dread to walk amidst pits and precipices without a guide, or a mariner to sail among rocks and shoals without a pilot. Remember what the Psalmist says, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’”
Reverend Martin Madan
In 2009 I published Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives, followed by several republications of Christian books on the subject of marriage.
Below is the same Prince of Sumba but with an image instead of the words for Isaiah 4:1
By 2011, I came to realize that the terms that described the forms of marriage in the Bible had become so muddied up with cultural misunderstandings that a concise word was needed and I came up with one: andromony. Andromony is a cognate formed from the Greek word for man and the Latin word for support. Many years later, I still haven’t found a word that better describes the first relationship between a man and a woman. Join me as we study andromony, the first relationship, and gain a better understanding of how to improve our andromonial relationships. To all the visitors to this website and my fellow adromonists, welcome.
As I’ve already mentioned, I’ve had several other websites.
Currently, I’m in the process of updating and uploading virtually all of the articles from four of my previous websites to this website. They will appear in the left column titled Patriarchal Reading Room. The articles which I’ve written recently will be placed at the top. From July of 1998 until the summer of 2014, I featured my articles on one of my four sites, Isaiah4vs1.com, ChristianPolygamy.com, ChristianMarriage.com, and ChristianPatriarchy.com Prior to those websites. As I’ve already stated, the first website on which I put excerpts of my novel, Prince of Sumba, was the one called Isaiah4vs1 I believe that was in 1997.or 1996. I redirected that site at some point to one of my other sites after realizing how cumbersome it was to have multiple websites on nearly identical topics.
Due to a family emergency, I had to sell those websites in 2014
but recently I was able to reacquire ChristianPatriarchy.com
It serves as the evangelical outreach of Christian Patriarchy
At the time I sold those sites, I had already pastored ChristianMarriage.com for over 15 years, actively engaging with visitors to the site who would email me their questions or pick up the phone and call. Much of my counseling took place while holding one of my kids with one arm and holding the telephone with the other. To understand my desire to be actively involved with the raising of my kids, one must understand, that at the age of 45, I had my vasectomy reversed, not to please anyone else but to experience that epic adventure of raising a family and I wanted, and still want lots more kids.
The three ministry websites that I’m now focusing on are:
- Andromony.com – for visitors who prefer to learn completely on their own.
- edu.andromony.com – for those who prefer a traditional mode of learning including personal mentoring.
- ChristianPatriachy.com – for general information, church planting, and fund raising for a meeting house.
- Doctatorship.com which will be a site containing information pertinent to the current state the world.
For the purpose of education, I’ve produced two books, both novels, that help readers develop an understanding of Christian Patriarchy and the current state of world affairs. Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives contains 385 footnotes to bring the reader into a closer walk with the Lord and to reveal the Christian Heritage that has been stolen from us by seminaries that have erased the biographies of some of the greatest evangelists in history, simply because they favored a man’s right to take several wives. Last but not least, I wrote these two novels to provide enjoyment and vicarious adventure to the reader. My latest novel, Ron and Bruno: Against the Doctatorship, has the same purpose, but a different focus. Ron and Bruno are two old, white, alpha males, the scourge of our modern day world, who both turn out to be Christians. One already was, and the other comes along shortly. But the boldness and honesty of their approach to problems make them targets for the FBI, CIA, FDA, and every other three-letter agency. Accompanied by their young and beautiful accomplices, to a crime that wasn’t a crime, they seek to right the injustices of the Doctatorship. This Novel is based on a true story with a hefty dose of imagination. It is set in our current decade and includes human trafficking, arson, Covid lies, dark humor, romance, comedy, heroism, and retribution. The retribution occurs accidentally as each comedy of errors unfolds. In place of footnotes, references will soon be available on Doctatorship.com
My gift is to use fiction to help the reader understand the Bible and the world around them. Writing is a cathartic therapy that heals me. I hope what I write can heal you as too!
