EXPOSURE

Why Nashville’s “Room In The Inn” should NOT receive additional funding without a much stronger Board of Directors.

(20260805-20260812) How it started? I took the initiative to scribble up a draft flyer#fn (link to hand-written version and typed version) and on 20260729 seek feedback from the ROOM IN THE INN (“RITI”) Community Development team. In under an hour, I was banned by its Executive Director Rachel Hester (“Hester) from all Bible Study classes, all Art classes and the entire second floor until further notice as sidekick Maggie Sananikone (“Sananikone”) chimed in with an unwarranted character smear and a staff/volunteer witnessed the event.

What’s the status now? Used to reading “cant” that’s delivered in multiple ways#fn (see description of the “language of CANT” in the scrollbox stored at https://twb.rocks/gang-stalking and samples of recent usage at:

RITI Board President Myers’ incorrect usage of punctuation and obvious by “typo” (see insert at right and e-mail thread stored at https://twb.rocks/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/20260810-0821-Email-from-Room-In-The-Inn-RITI-Board-President-Ryan-Myers.pdf) leaves me at a loss as to what Mr. Myers is doing. That B+Y in simple Gematria#fn (TO DO>insert introduction to Gematria from OCDC files) equals 2 + 25 (ie. 27, aka 33, aka another 33 (see Image X) is a tad off-putting. Regardless, I’ll provide him with a bit more time to decide which sorts of decisions he’d like to make.

“Banned from a homeless drop-in center: why would I care?”

It fairly obvious from my “Diary of a Canadian Whistleblower”fn# (https://twb.rocks/archives/y2026/m202607) that I have a lot on my plate. Why would I even bother spending hours each week at this place?#fn (see attendance records at https://twb.rocks/riti/activity-dm). In a nutshell:

  1. Bible Study classes were helping me with three of my efforts to help individuals ramp their Scriptural literacy:
  2. Art classes were exceptionally cathartic#fn as well as essential in helping me to advance my “Teach Yourself Braille” project #fn (); and
  3. Storage: for displaced/marginalized targets#fn, storage is a logistical challenge that becomes increasingly impossible to manage as one endures [collective shenanigans].

As will be further discussed below, storage is next to impossible when one is enduring [a toxic divorce#fn, a toxic boss#fn and/or a simple twist of fate#fn]. After ending my contract with ExtraStorage due to the continued denial of access to Canadian income and property#fn, being in a position to accumulate RITI points so I could store my [?12?] Bibles, winter clothes and remaining wheeled suitcase was of particular importance to me.

Following multiple requests regarding the legitimate reasons for my ban and when it would end, Hester scheduled a meeting for 9:00 a.m. on 20260805. Knowing that it would be just as tangential and rapid-fire as their impromptu 20260729 attack, I prepared and provided to them an evidence-laden agenda (see https://twb.rocks/riti/riti-conflict-resolution-process/20260805-agenda) so their concerns and/or false allegations could be addressed.

“Believe it or not, neither Rachel nor Maggie even bothered to show up.”

Instead, I was terrorized by RITI’s Director of Finance Paul Spivey (“Spivey”), and RITI’s alleged Director of Development, “Amanda”(#fn refusal to provide last name) until 09:30 when they threatened police involvement if I failed to leave the premises (see Images 00x and 00x). Clearly, not only does RITI’s Community Development team need stronger leadership than that provided by its “?Amanda?”, its Director of Finance is now also suspect. (That Paul was unable to meet a reporting requirement for X months in 2023 should have been enough of a red flag for any diligent Board-level committee member. Apparently, he’s been at RITI for ?11? years (see Image XX). While pressing for information about what I had done to deserve a ban, Spivey stated “we have a Behavior Policy” as if I had somehow violated it. However, when I asked to see a copy so I could ensure compliance, he refused to produce one. Perhaps it is as non-existent as the RITI Conflict Resolution Policy which, for all I know, I could be developing for them as I endure their nonsense (see https://twb.rocks/riti/riti-conflict-resolution-process for eventual conclusion). By this stage in my article, one should be able to glean why I am concerned that City Council is considering doubling the RITI budget: there are so many red flags that I’m worried I’ll have to switch to another color.

“Why kind of church doesn’t want to grow its congregation or increase donations?!?”

… and, believe it or not, RITI actually identifies as a church! (see Image 00x).

At time of writing, no one has provided to me any concrete reasons for my ban. Accordingly, at a loss to comprehend RITI management’s aggressive response, I’ve arrived at a few possibilities:

However, all of those reasons would require some familiarity with my work and/or my website and, on 20260729, both Hester and Sananikone admitted that they had none. That leaves only one possible reason, in my experienced opinion: monkey business via the RITI Express Store#fn. Among other things, I have experience with financial reporting and forensic accounting #fn (see very brief resume at bottom RHS of https://twb.rocks/about-us); as well as the greed and pride that appears to be attracted to so-called “not-for-profit” entities.#fn (link to summary of experiences at Royal Lifesaving, Carleton University, The Ottawa Hospital and Manitoba’s Bill Gates’-funded [Max Rady College et al.)

 

“IF RITI is part of the Catholic Business League, THEN how will they treat non-Catholics?”

TO BE CONTINUED> drafting stopped 20260812 at 09:06 e.s.t. to re-format for printed version, start numbering images and add endnotes

As part of the Catholic Business League (see Images 00x-00y), how will RITI treat non-Catholics? Well, harassment coupled with gaslighting and denial of services enforced via threats of police involvement appears to be the modus operandi if my 20260805 experience is any indication. (I still have many Bibles in their Long Term Storage (see Image 00x): I sure hope they’re safe there.)

Interestingly, the women’s Nashville Rescue Mission mandatory chapel has not included the worship of Mary nor any statements regarding some man “Father” once. Is this the reason that promotion of RITI at NRM is verboten? Are they keeping non-Catholics away from RITI so we won’t reveal the ways in which [insert gaslighting doctrine of choice]?

TO DO>Insert suggestions on where the $450,000 increase in budget#fn could be better utilized to help the Nashville community:

  • Nashville Rescue Mission for men – (discuss bedbug and body lice infestation that is forcing men onto the street)
  • Nashville Rescue Mission for women – (discuss staff shortages that prevent women from accessing services)
  • Day Break Art – (introduce mission/mandate, opportunities, etc.)
  • Self-funded outreach programs such as Jesus Precision Mission that provides similar services to RITI 3 hours/week (vs. 40 hours/week) but receives zero dollars from Nashville to feed and support its homeless community.
  • identify alternative organizations with potential capacity that do not have a history of harassing/terrorizing their patrons and/or threatening “without-grounds” police involvement when patrons are attempting to report Civil Rights violations and/or crimes.
  • Nashville’s Public Libraries seem to provide services without discriminatory practices,
  • (also, alert “Community ONE” to the fact that RITI may not be as altruistic and “serve the homeless” as they appear (outline started at https://twb.rocks/one-community)
  • Raising awareness amongst retailers; including, but not limited to, Goodwill which may have the ability to provide previously-loved suitcases (see Image 00x-y) to those forced to live out of paper bags and
  • Raising awareness amongst service providers; including, but not limited to, storage facilities which may have the ability to donate space to those who’ve been displaced without warning.

“Shouldn’t a Gift Card for Goodwill be a no-brainer?”

TO DO>Insert conclusion and refer to seemingly imminent collapse of the service industry (evidence-laden opinion a work-in-progress at https://twb.rocks/living/opinion/service-industry-collapse).

We are already aware of many who live in debt and/or paycheck-to-paycheck. Main-stream media has already begun to prepare the masses for this reality (see Helen Coffy’s 20260602 article re-published at https://twb.rocks/living/opinion/being-jobless). Anticipating a massive influx of individuals who will require services does not require much [intelligence]. When the rent becomes impossible to pay, one’s immediate concerns will turn to:

  • where will I sleep?
  • where will I store [my stuff]?
  • where can I work?
  • why did this happen to me? #fn (insert link to slippery slope that leads to su-icidal ideation and link to Gospel’s 8:32s plus exposure of Jessica Enns (nested within https://twb.rocks/UPIG/psych).

Once a displaced individual figures all of that out, they’ll have to deal with mobility. If fully abled, that’ll mean backpacks, wheeled suitcases and/or other survival gear. Who helps them with all of that?

 

“Who does RITI really serve?”

When your donations and taxes aren’t really going towards assisting those who’ve found themselves without housing but merely some window-dressed, over-funded, mismanaged group of [insert pluralized noun of choice], what do you expect will happen next?

Interestingly, on Valentine’s Day 2021 (merely X day’s after the Christmas morning Nashville bombing) bizarre Twitter posts by [FName LName] included what appears to be [insert opinion]. I sure hope nothing bad happens to that block that lies between 7th Avenue South … and 8th.

More on how Board Presidents are “kept in the dark” and publicly-funded organizations are “captured” is described in 11-minute presentation by Dr. Katherine Horton at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhDsBhunhyg&feature=youtu.be. Whether or not RITI Board President Ryan Myers has even received any of my e-mails (see insert link) is anyone’s guess.
