Resignation Letter by Amy Hall to JRI after James Arthur Ray Killings

amyhallatjristaffeventAmy Hall, former James Arthur Ray Employee

Amy is my wife and one of the victims of James Arthur Ray’s obsession with death which has resulted in 4 people dead, many injuries and lost jobs.

Amy gave her resignation letter, in person to Rebecca “Becca” Callaway. Becca was Amy’s immediate Supervisor at JRI. This letter is our electronic copy pictured in the Crime Scene Photos on Megan Fredrickson’s Desk. She resigned at about 5:00 PM on October 13 after making sure her “desk” and open tasks were in order.

Amy called the Yavapai County Sheriff about 6:15 Pm the same day concerned that evidence in the case may be destroyed by JRI employees.

It is accurate that Amy was not aware of Colleen Conaway’s death until after she quit JRI.

For the record, Amy & I both want the Seminar Industry and “Professional” Coaches licensed and regulated. In addition, we are in receipt of a “cease and desist” letter from Nancy Bertrando of Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP regarding my blogging about James Arthur Ray’s character and how he ran his company. We are not sure whether Bertrando was the attorney who advised JRI in other HR matters, but Amy has filed a Labor Board Complaint against JRI for unpaid overtime and never delivering her final paycheck. JRI classified Amy’s job as customer service rep and receptionist as “exempt” to avoid paying her overtime. JRI did not appear for the mediation where a California EDD mediator informed Amy her job class was certainly NOT an exempt job. Her Labor Board Hearing will not be for 6 months so she may never see the wages she is due and entitled to receive.

It is our opinion that most Seminar Companies are “in it only for the money” and many Live Seminars and Professional Coaches are practicing therapy without a license. They do so under the guise of “Education”, “Information” and “Coaching”. But anyone can hang out a shingle as coach and/or sell seminars regardless of their experience or credentials.

terry-hall-wife-amyTo contact Amy use the contact form at http://bizsayer.com/contact/ – I screen Amy’s contacts. She has received several nasty messages from former JRI employees. I will not forward those to her unless she requests to see them. Amy cares deeply for people and wants to do her best to make sure that the Seminar Industry and Coaches do no more harm (physically, financially and/or emotionally) and stop hiding behind one sided contracts and educational disclaimers.

James Arthur Ray’s Hypocrisy: Comment on his “Open Letter to Obama”

liar

Hindsight is 20/20 if you’re willing to see the truth.

As we wait for the charges again James Arthur Ray to be sorted out by Arizona Authorities, several questions come to mind.

  1. Is James Arthur Ray’s Legal Team negotiating a plea bargain for James Arthur Ray? (This would prevent a public trial leaving Ray controlling the information about what really killed 3 in Sedona & 1 in San Diego).
  2. Are the Arizona Authorities working deals and plea bargain with people in exchange for their testimony against Ray?
  3. Is Ray’s legal team negotiating settlements for Civil Suits against him?
  4. What is Ray grateful for this holiday season every morning when his feet touch the floor?
  5. Will James Ray send Oprah & Larry King Holiday Cards?

All I can say is, I trust James Arthur Ray starts practicing what he got rich preaching and does the right thing. Here’s an example of what James Arthur Ray got rich preaching in his “Open Letter to President Obama” dated January 25, 2009. Below are excerpts from that blog post. My Open Invitation to James Arthur Ray to, First: Practice what the hell you charged so many people so much to hear you preach.  Second:  Do the “right thing” by being responsible for your actions which killed 4 people and changed the lives of so many people, forever.

The following are excerpts (indented & italicized) from Ray’s letter to Obama followed by my personal thoughts and opinions about them. Remember my agenda is to Regulate and License the Seminar and Coaches to stop people from being harmed financially, physically and/or emotionally without recourse.

As you know, with great power comes great responsibility, …

Ray: People put their financial, physical and spiritual lives in your hands. You betrayed them. You killed them. You abandoned them. You continued business as usual. How can I say this? Simply put: The company is James Ray International, Inc. It’s your name on the door. You wrote the seminars. You poured the sweat lodge. Take responsibility for your actions.

While you and I both know that carving a new path is difficult, the good news is that we have a growing body of individuals who realize the old path has taken us as far as we can go. In many cases, nothing fails today like the success of yesterday.

James Ray: Your success from The Secret was failing. You needed more and more seminars to be sure YOU and Your company took every available dollar from your customers and their credit lines. You seem to have mastered doing so. Doing the right thing is indeed difficult. As you practice your daily gratitude, remember James Shore’s 3 children who no longer have a father in this physical world and the difficulty they will have carving their path in life without a father. You did that. Take Responsibility for Your actions.

To bring lasting transformation in any area, you must always deal with the cause versus the effects.

Jame Arthur Ray: What was the cause of YOU killing 4 people attending Your seminars? The lasting transformation I want to see is YOU in jail for the deaths you caused and compel Seminar & Coaching Industry Regulation and Licensing with proper disclosure of all pertinent facts prior to people buying snake oil in the form of weekend quick fix revivals or coaching for people whose lives don’t work.

Much more is required today than piecemeal action or a quick fix.

This is too funny coming from the master of selling piecemeal spirituality, quantum physics quackery and quick fix seminars. You made and lost your fortune based on the very thing you want Obama to recognize. YIKES!

Please let me reinforce my position that we must address those who misuse their power.

James Ray: What would you do to someone who was fascinated with death so much so, he finally killed people to just see what it was really like? The evidence of your misuse of power was after Colleen Conaway’s death. You and your cast of idiots covered it up. You are a seminar company salesman who started believing he was the GOD he liked to play during the weekend quick fix seminars.

We must become responsible for seeking our own interests while remaining in harmony with, and not at the expense of, other human beings and the environment. While capitalism works, we must move toward conscious (or enlightened) capitalism. Conscious capitalism is founded upon the ideal that we must consistently make decisions that are concurrently good for the individual, good for our country and good for the world.

I can’t even comment on this pile of horse sh*t. Were you on mushrooms or kava when you wrote this? It certainly is NOT the way you run your business. To me it looks like the only authentic part of the last statement was “We must become responsible for seeking our own interests”. James Death Ray your action indicate your only concern is for your own interests.

We must become responsible for not tolerating brutality or misuse of power here and abroad.

I can’t think of a more brutal death than a heat stroke in a 120 degree steam room with James Arthur Ray blocking the door and confronting anyone who was trying to survive the ordeal or help other people.

We must become responsible for ensuring that our corporations don’t continue a shortsighted pursuit of economic ends at the cost of others as well as the destruction of the very planet that allows us to live.

$9,695 for the seminar. No refunds. No Guarantees (except for Harmonic Wealth). James Arthur Ray you are some piece of work. Several people have justified your killing people saying “Ray has helped so many people”. I want those people to read this last statement. In particular Bob Proctor, Pat O’Bryan, Megan Fredrickson, Josh Fredrickson and Greg Hartel, the end does not justify the means.

As stated before, every significant breakthrough is almost always preceded by a breakdown. It’s normally only in our times of greatest challenge that we step back and take a hard inventory of our lives, where we’ve been and where we choose to go.

James Arthur Ray, your first breakdown was when an ambulance took a participant to the hospital from your “Spiritual Warrior” program in 2005. That was your wake up call. Your first breakdown. Step back and take a hard inventory of your life and the lives your have taken. The children you’ve left fatherless.

James Arthur Ray: When is NOW the right time to practice what you preach. Do the right thing.
