About Me

Bio for Rev. Thomas A. Dingwall

Rev. Thomas DingwallBorn in Albany, New York, raised in Guilderland Center, NY. At an early age, I found ways of earning extra income. At age 10, I helped out on a farm, got paid in eggs, meat, vegetables, and milk. I expand my enterprise to mowing lawns, repairing transistor radios for my fellow students and neighbors and I provided lunch money loans for the less privilege, earning a small interest. I would go to the dump, find thrown away bicycles, disassemble them, save the good parts, make a new bicycle and sell them. It was doing the bicycle rebuilding that another side of me became more evident. Those fellow students who didn’t have enough lunch money also didn’t have a bicycle. For them I would give them a bicycle.

Near the end high school, while planning for college, my father insisted that I needed a real job that would give me security. I decided to go into engineering, but to save money I first went to a two year college that was supported by a major engineering university. The plan was to get high marks in the two year college (which I did) and have all my credits accepted by the university (which they were – 90%). Unfortunately, by the time I graduated from the two year college our nation was in a recession and engineers were sweeping floors, if they could find any work at all.

But I did get offered two positions as an electronics technician, and headed into that career. It is a fact that I was part of the engineering team that developed today’s automatic meter reading equipment and photoelectric control for outside lighting, I saw things in that business that upset me greatly. So, I turned to the electrical construction engineering through electrical supply houses. From there I went to work for an engineering company, after more than 35 year, I am now semi-retired from that field.

Through my engineering career, I saw even more corruption both from within and from without. Corporate leaders, government officials, government employees, contractors, facility administrators and many more, all being dishonest. Deception, lying, and bribes are only the beginning, and the unethical practices continued to get worst.

In 1976, I had a life change and from that, coupled with what I was experiencing all around me, I decided then that change had to happen and it had to happen at the grass roots.

I began teaching youth foundational standards of morals and ethics while studying for the ministry. I was privileged to meet Dr. Billy Graham. Billy showed me that integrity, honesty and ethics are possible.

The last 38 years I have seen a continued degeneration in morals, ethics, respect, honor, and honesty from the Executive Branch of Government, to local Law Enforcement, to our educators, to the parents. Our children are taught, by word and deed, that anything goes. The rights of our citizens, provided for us under the First Amendment to the Constitution, have been twisted and used to abuse its citizens by our very own leaders.

Our Declaration of Independence states…

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 

The five pillars of the matrix of liberty (faith, morality, law, educations, and liberty are the pillars our forefathers founded this nation on. These pillars were the corner stone for our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Today, there are those in the arts, commerce and government who wish to eradicate those freedoms.

I’ve continued to teach and work very hard to maintain the standards as outlined in the Bible. Sadly, my efforts have been too small, but God has opened a new vision for me. A vision that will show and teach young adults that we can have an honest, caring, and moral business or career with integrity.

Presently, I have two jobs, first is as a minister caring for people and second is as an entrepreneur providing health and nutrition. Mr. Solution is the income source to support the ministry and me.  Pulling this all together I lead a growing networking group, Lower Bucks Networking Association and I am an Ambassador and Committee Co-Chair with the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce.

Today more than ever we need honest, moral, responsible leaders, in the factories, on the farm, in the classroom, in law enforcement, in legal professions, in government and everywhere. What would it be like to bring this wonderful nation back to the standards it once had? What would it be like to have leaders who really cared for the people, all the people, above votes?
