Now there is something that makes my day! :)

I decided to leave christianity before knowing situations like this one happened so often.

Up to the last Sunday I went to church, I actually thought pastors were sincerely trying to help people--I thought they were honestly wrong.

It was months after I made my decision to stop going to church that I found this website and learned of the terrible things many pastors do.

But now that I do know, reading about it confirms the gut feeling I had for a long time about things being strangely wrong around evangelical churches. I wish more people would hear about stuff like this. Thank you for posting the articles webmaster.

Lorena welcome! Glad you have seen the light and the real truth.

The scary part is these are the ones that get caught.

I worked for a church for two years and can tell you, this is not even the half of it.

Dear Dr. Walker I have deposited (ten million USD) $10,000,000 in a trust fund with your name as trustee and sole recipient, if you will personally guarantee me and all my good friends here at exchristian a resort in Heaven with a Heavenly view overlooking God and Jesus's Holy Mansion.

Should any one of our close knit group of friends here perish in the near future, and come back from the dead as a witness and with solid proof that this deceased person, has indeed been in contact with your God and your personal savior, Jesus H. Christ, your money will be wire transferred immediately to a bank account of your choosing.

Providing that each one of us will recieve a guaranteed eternity with God and Jesus. With the exception that, should any member get booted into Hell and they come back and indeed provide viable proof that Satan and Hell is real, You win! The money will still be yours.

Deal or No Deal?

After reading some comments by Dr. Henry Jordan here in our local paper, I was in need of some uplifting news. Thanks, webmaster, for providing a look into the dark side of religion. Wait a minute, religion has no bright side anyway.
In our local paper today was an article about Dr. Henry Jordan, a Doctor who is running for Lt. Governor in our state (SC). He thinks the U.S. is blessed because we honor God. He believes that science does not support Darwin's theory that man evolved from monkeys and that public schools should teach ID along with evolution. Just the kind of thinker we need in politics. "I mean you've got to be really stupid to believe in evolution, I mean really." he said. Jordan believes the sin of pride and people's desire to decide their own fate, rather than obey God, are why people believe in evolution. While serving on the State Board of Education, Jordan was best known for his efforts to have the Ten Commandments posted in schools. Jordan said Monday he believes it is important to continue to acknowledge God in public life. He believes that God continues to bless the U.S. in spite of its transgressions, because it is Israel's "only real friend" and because Americans fund most of the world's missionaries.
"There are only two nations I know of that have been blessed: Israel, because God choose them...and the other is the United States," Jordan said.
Jordan lost a bid in for the same office in 1994. (end of article)
I think that this is the major reason we are in such sorry shape in America now, because of people like this Doctor Henry Jordan. Perhaps a trip to see the wizard for a much needed brain is in order for the good doctor. Of course, I am only a stupid follower of science, I mean really.

In most of the countries of Europe, gays and lesbians enjoy full legal rights, and abortions, drugs, porn and prostition are freely available. And compared to the US, they have less health problems; less obesity; less heart attacks; less ulcers; less nervous breakdowns; less insanity; less crime and violence; less suicide; longer life spans and a lower infant mortality. They sound pretty blessed to me. And I forget to mention: religion is dying out in Europe. In a few years you will see stuffed christians in museums, right beside the dodo.

My mom has been to four churches over the past six years and nothing underhanded a pastor pulls affects her. If you want to be blind, you are.

Update:

N.C. pastor pleads guilty to tax evasion, fraud in federal case

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A senior pastor at a Charlotte church who was accused of tax evasion and bank fraud has pleaded guilty to nine federal felony charges.

The Rev. John Henry Walker should expect to serve prison time, U.S. District Judge Frank Whitney told the pastor as he entered the guilty pleas Monday. Walker failed to report more than $750,000 of taxable income between 1998 and 2004.

Walker, 48, entered the pleas on his own. He did not have an agreement with prosecutors.

About 50 members of Walker's Macedonia Baptist Church congregation were in the courtroom for the plea hearing. Some were there to support the pastor; others said they wanted to see him admit his guilt.

The congregation is expected to vote sometime in the next two weeks on whether Walker may keep his job.

Whitney ruled that Walker may not be involved in church finances but may continue preaching on Sundays and handling other pastoral duties while his congregation decides what to do with "an admitted felon."

Federal prosecutors told Whitney that the pastor used a church credit card to pay for erectile dysfunction medication and hotel visits with female parishioners.

He was also accused of lying on applications for loans to buy Lexus and Mercedes cars and a 5,300-square-foot-home.

Harold Cogdell, Walker's lawyer, read a statement outside the courthouse, that said Walker accepted responsibility for the crimes he was charged with and had pleaded guilty to put the episode behind him and the church.

"Although regrettable personal lifestyle financial decisions were made, the government's allegations of socially irresponsible behavior regarding Pastor Walker's private life were completely without merit and amounted to just plan dirty litigation," Cogdell said in the statement.

Cogdell said he intends to dispute some facts prosecutors have alleged when Walker is sentenced.

Lecola Mungo, who has worshiped at Macedonia Baptist for 27 years, said Walker's behavior was reprehensible.

"He's been taking us for a ride," Mungo said. "I've never seen anything like this before."

New recruits are urged to buy multiple properties and listed each one as an owner occupant, then has them prepare fake documents to get loans from lenders using power option arm mortgage loans, ultimately these loans are foreclosed upon because the properties sold to the MLM recruits are overpriced properties from desperate Developers that "inner commissions of 20% of the purchase price is paid to the Mili Group under the table to a Mili Marketing Company. - This is a public outrage!
