To speak the truth about some of these so called "Servants of God" amounts to heresy in some circles,but what follows is an exposed of how these hustlers live like Rock stars with private jets,Rolls Royce s,huge mansions,servants,and so much more ,and all with the money well meaning people give to their ministries,they own TV stations,entertainment businesses ,and all, without paying one cent in taxes since they are covered under the IRS code as religious organizations that are all tax exempt..they pretend to preach the word of Jesus but could not be more different of what Jesus teachings were,Jesus loved the poor,fought and threw out of the temple the impostors that were ripping the people off, Jesus did not live in a palace,his friends were the poor,the downtrodden ,the prostitutes and the sick... These Charlatans pretend to heal people on their TV shows,but in many occasions it has been proved that the supposedly healed folks were actually planted in the audience,but at the end of their show they pass the bucket and money comes pouring in, with no accountability whatsoever, l mean this is done in a way that would make P.T Barnum proud...
They stand on their podiums and with a holier than thou attitude and preach about family values,the sanctity of marriage,Homosexuality,etc and yet in many cases they are involved in those same activities that they are preaching against..Here are just three instances in which some of these "men of the cloth" have been involved in the last few years,there are many more that it would fill a book....

"Televangelist Benny Hinn is being sued by Strang Communications, a
Christian publishing company that alleges that Hinn violated a morality
clause in their contract when he began an “inappropriate relationship”
with Without Walls pastor Paula White.
In August,
The National Enquirer published photos of Hinn
and White holding hands in Rome. Hinn was married to Suzanne Hinn at
the time. His wife had filed for divorce in February 2010.
“I will not deny that the friendship has strengthened, and, while it
has remained morally pure at all times, I have enjoyed the company of
someone who has also gone through the trauma of a painful and public
divorce,” Hinn said in a statement at the time.
Hinn acknowledged to his publisher “his inappropriate relationship” with White in August, the suit, obtained by the
Orlando Sentinel,
says. Strang Co. (now known as Charisma Media) says that it should
receive $250,000 of unrecouped royalties but Hinn has refused to pay the
amount.
Hinn had signed a three-book deal and was paid a $300,000 advance for
Blood in the Sand
(2009). The suit includes a letter where Strang said Hinn violated the
contract by failing to work hard enough to market the book, according
to the
Sentinel.
He failed to make television appearances to promote it, including several on
700 Club, the television show that Pat Robertson founded.
Paula White and her husband divorced in 2007, and she left Without
Walls, returning in 2009 after her husband announced his departure due
to poor health. White also described the
National Enquirer piece as false.
“We were never alone and were in the constant company of staff and
other associates,” she said in a statement at the time. “I value my
friendship with Pastor Benny and remain supportive with a deep respect
of him, his family and his ministry. My relationship with Pastor Benny
is genuine and pure and should not be taken out of context.”
Hinn and White were cited in Sen. Chuck Grassley’s investigation of televangelists, which recently concluded.
Pastor Creflo Dollar charged with attacking his daughter
Updated 2012-06-09 5:30 PM
Megachurch pastor
Creflo Dollar was arrested in Georgia on charges of attacking his 15-year-old daughter during an argument, WXIA-TV reports.The
founder and pastor of World Changers Church International is accused of
simple battery and cruelty to children for allegedly attacking his
daughter during an fight over whether she could attend a party.
Update, Sat., June 9, 5:17 p.m. ET:
Dollar issued this statement Friday afternoon, the Associated Press
reports:
"As
a father I love my children and I always have their best interest at
heart at all times, and I would never use my hand to ever cause bodily
harm to my children. The facts in this case will be handled privately to
further protect my children. My family thanks you for your prayers and
continued support."
Original Post, Fri., June 8 1:22 p.m. ET:
The
police report says Dollar choked his daughter, then threw her to the
ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe during a fight at his
metro Atlanta home.
When police interviewed Dollar, he said he
tried to restrain his daughter when she "became very disrespectful,"
according to the report.
Dollar acknowleged spanking his daughter and wrestling her to the floor, but said it was because she hit him.
The
responding officer noticed a scratch on the daughter's neck near her
throat, WXIA reports. She tells police her father gave her the scratch
during the fight.
Fayette County Sheriff's Office investigator
Brent Rowan says the 50-year-old pastor "got physical" with her, leaving
her with "superficial injuries," the Associated Press reports.
Dollar,
who preaches a "Prosperity theology" in his Sunday sermons that are
broadcast internationally, bonded out of a Fayette county jail this
morning.
The theology, which teaches that God wants to bless the
faithful with earthly riches, drew the attention of Sen. Chuck Grassley,
R-Iowa, who targeted six ministers in an investigation in 2011 into the
personal use of church-owned airplanes, luxury homes and credit cards
by pastors and their families, the Associated Press
reports.
All
six insisted they comply with tax regulations for religious nonprofits.
Dollar was one of four ministers who refused to cooperate with the
investigation.
Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Georgia
is being accused of having had an abusive gay relationship with a teen
in a new book published earlier this week.
The
accuser, Centino Kemp, was one of the five young men who settled out of
court with Long over the alleged sexual relationships. Long has denied
the accusations and tried to move on, but the newly published book,
titled
First Lady, co-written by Kemp and T. Benson Glover, has already surged to the No. 8 spot on
Amazon's non-fiction Kindle section.
The
"tell-all" biography of Kemp shares of a violent encounter between him
and Long in 2006 in Miami at Keiser University, where the bishop
allegedly physically assaulted the teenager. The account also includes a
reference to a sexual relationship between the two, hidden from Long's
wife and family.
Kemp, who unlike other accusers of Long was not a
member of New Birth Missionary, describes his long and troubled past,
sharing of parents who were absent from his life and did not provide him
the support he needed growing up. Kemp also admits to being gay and
reveals how that affected him over the years.
"With heart
wrenching passages about a young boy who was reared in a tight-knit
small church community, the book unveils a portrait of a gorgeous mother
'with a stunning red-bone complexion' and a Haitian father who himself
was also an author, but largely absent from his son's life,"
The Examiner states.
Long
had been accused by five young men of abusing his spiritual authority
by lavishing them with gifts and coercing them into sexual acts during
overnight trips. The men, who were teens at the time the alleged acts
took place, filed lawsuits in 2010. The preacher settled the lawsuits
out of court in 2011.
The New Birth pastor, who is married and has
four children, has denied the allegations that he seduced the men and
said there was no sexual contact. He did, however, admit that he gave
the young men gifts, helped them financially and took them on trips.
More recently, Long was
hit by a separate lawsuit earlier
this week filed by several former church members who claim that the
pastor encouraged them to invest money in a company that had a $3
million capital deficit.
The alleged Ponzi scheme, ran by social
capitalist Ephren W. Taylor who led a series of financial seminars in
October 2009 at New Birth church, took more than $1 million in
investments from 12 former members.
"If Bishop Eddie Long hadn't
endorsed this they wouldn't have invested," plaintiffs attorney Jason
Doss explained – though Long has called upon Taylor to return all money
taken and repay the victims with interest.
That is just three of the recent scandals involving some of the better known Tele Evangelists,what follows are some articles on how these people live,if after you read this you still want to sent them money,the P.T Barnum was right "There is a sucker born everyday" Follow the links below and see where your money is going...
