The Need for Sua Sponte Judicial Review Laws For Pro Se Litigants’ Lawsuits

Judicial reform is needed to require that judges instantly dismiss abusive, frivolous lawsuits, especially those filed by self-represented / pro se litigants, before financial harm is done to innocent defendants needing to hire attorneys to get these abusive, frivolous lawsuits dismissed.


Cults and religious frauds use a variety of harmful tactics against their victims – including filing abusive, frivolous lawsuits.  This is one of the tactics used by Ken Parks (aka, Pastor Ken, Pastor Ken Parks, Pastor Ken Max Parks, Pastor Max, Ken Max Parks, Max Parks).  Ken Parks advertises on social media his unregistered, financially unaccountable ETC Ministries, Simplicity of Christ / SOC Ministries, and his unregistered “professional photographer” businesses.  He runs these activities from his apartment.  Despite calling himself “pastor”, Ken Parks is not an ordained minister.


The matters discussed in this website involve subjects which merit constitutionally protected public scrutiny, and this website provides documentation, commentary, and opinion on matters of public concern.

Suspected Document Fraud Committed by Ken Parks

Suspected Document Fraud Committed by Ken Parks

My brother Ken Parks has demonstrated there is no limit to how aggressively he will publish false claims and statements about himself to promote himself and his unregistered “ministries” (ETC Ministries and Simplicity of Christ / SOC Ministries) and “businesses” (Weddings Thru the Lens, Fotos by Ken), as well as stalk, harass, defame or threaten – online, in person, and through his abuse of the courts by filing pro se his meritless, defamatory lawsuits.  This is why I believe my limited-purpose public figure brother Ken Parks is a very dangerous public menace.

My brother Ken Parks has published statements about manufacturing fraudulent “official” records against me, and I don’t doubt he would do this against any other people he targets.  If Ken Parks ever publishes what appear to be court orders or any other documents that appear to be “official” against us or anyone else – such as court orders prohibiting us from publishing documented truth, our eye-witnessed accounts, and reasonable opinions about him – then the originating court can be contacted to confirm whether he’s fabricated/forged documents to make them appear authentic.  The following documentation addressing my brother Ken Parks’ threat to create false documents against me, and his other threats, existed originally on our ministrywarning.com and same-content website photographerscam.com website; my brother Ken Parks refers to me as “Paranoia Polly” and to my husband as “Snotty”:

In early 2013 my brother Ken Parks attempted his second pro se lawsuit against my husband and me, this time filing it in Fulton County, Georgia — knowingly filing in an out-of-jurisdiction court aimed at forcing us to hire an attorney to spend more money defending our innocence and getting his out-of-jurisdiction lawsuit dismissed. He refused to properly serve us notice of his lawsuit until in the spring when Judge Doris Downs told him he had to hire a court server in Connecticut to properly serve us (we lived in Connecticut at the time). At one point it very strongly appears that my brother Ken Parks resorted to impersonating the Fulton County Superior Court by mailing to us by regular mail a large envelope in which he copied and pasted the superior court seal and address as the address of origin. We notified Judge Doris Down’s secretary about what he apparently did and she confirmed that the Fulton County Court never mailed anything to us.

When my brother Ken Parks finally hired a Connecticut court server to serve us notice of his second pro se lawsuit, he still did not serve us with the proper paperwork. To spare expenses we prepared and filed pro se much of the same filings our attorney had filed in the Gwinnett, Georgia court for the first lawsuit my brother Ken Parks had filed pro se against us. Consequently on July 19, 2013 Judge Doris Downs very quickly dismissed my brother Ken Parks’ meritless pro se lawsuit against us, and without us being required to hire an attorney or attend a hearing.

When we made complaint to Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Paul Howard about the forged/impersonated envelope that apparently my brother Ken Parks sent to us to make it appear that the Fulton County Superior Court had mailed us the envelope, his office refused to investigate the crime apparently committed by my brother Ken Parks.

In April, 2015, my brother Ken Parks filed pro se his third meritless abusive lawsuit against us in Connecticut, where we had not lived since September, 2013. He also filed his lawsuit one month past the two year statute of limitations that could have applied to our website ministrywarning.com/photographyscam.com, which we voluntarily stopped publishing in March, 2013.

There are still unanswered questions regarding the suspicious Order of Notice that my brother Ken Parks had published in the New London, Connecticut The Day newspaper’s legal notices section, especially in light of the fact that the judge’s name was provided as New London Superior Court “Judge J. Cosgrove” when in fact the judge’s name is Emmet Cosgrove. There was never any case number associated with the published Order of Notice, and there was never any record of that Order of Notice recorded with New London’s Superior Court. We received verbal confirmation from Judge Cosgrove’s secretary that the judge had “no recollection of ever signing such an Order of Notice.” Both we and our Georgia attorney who sent my brother Ken Parks and his then-second wife (divorced in 2023) separate Cease and Desist letters also wrote to Judge Cosgrove asking him to investigate this suspicious “Order of Notice.” New London Superior Court Judge Terrence Zemetis, during the dismissal hearing in the summer of 2015, likewise repeatedly asked my brother Ken Parks about the abnormalities of his suspicious “Order of Notice.” Judge Zemetis also made note of the problems with the Order of Notice in two footnotes in his ruling on the dismissal hearing. We have never been able to get this disturbing and suspicious Order of Notice issue resolved. Below is the documentation regarding this matter:

Below are excerpts from a transcript of the 2015 Dismissal hearing in the third meritless pro se lawsuit my brother Ken Parks filed against us in Connecticut in which New London, Connecticut Judge Zemetis questioned my brother Ken Parks about the legal problems with his supposed “Order of Notice,” for which there was no court documentation whatsoever:
