Philadelphia pastor speech canceled by Morehouse College

 

Allegedly, Morehouse College did not like Pastor Kevin Johnson's column that was negative about President Obama's administration so, they canceled his speech.  In our opinion, it's very childish for grown-ups to rebel, just because a man of God speaks the truth about an issue.  This is the type of society we live in today, when things do not go the way of the majority of people whom are alleged followers...

Pastor Jeremiah’s Daughter Indicted on Fraud Charges

Pastor Jeremiah's Daughter Indicted on Fraud and Money Laundering Charges

President Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright may have ruffled some feathers with his radical preaching style but his daughter seems to be hitting the news as well in a different way.

The daughter of Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Jeri Wright is accused of being a part of a fraud scheme orchestrated by former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans and her husband involving a $1.25 million state job-training grant geared toward minorities, says the Chicago Sun.

The 47 year old Jeri Wright of Hazel Crest, was charged with:
  • two counts of money laundering
  • two counts of making false statements to federal law enforcement officers
  • and seven counts of giving false testimony before a grand jury.

Chicago Sun Times reported:
A federal grand jury handed down the multi-pronged indictments Wednesday that accused Jeri Wright of engaging in a series of bank transactions in November 2009 in which she cashed more than $27,800 in checks drawn from the bank account of a non-profit the Evans controlled and from which the state funds had been deposited.
The indictment described Jeri Wright as a “close friend and associate” of Evans and her husband, Ronald W. Evans, Jr.
With that cash in hand, Jeri Wright then allegedly deposited $19,888 of that total into the personal bank account belonging to Evans and her husband, “knowing that the property involved in the financial transaction represented the proceeds of some form of unlawful activity,” the indictment alleged.
When interviewed by federal investigators in August and October of 2012 and again before a federal grand jury, Jeri Wright “did knowingly make false statements” about where those state funds eventually wound up, the indictment alleged.
Rather than depositing the money into the Evans’ personal bank account, Jeri Wright claimed the funds represented several months of salary she was owed from working for the Evans’ state-funded non-profit, We Are Our Brother’s Keeper, and that those dollars were used to pay her mortgage and car loan, the indictment alleged.

There were three indictments returned by a grand jury last week which includes Jeri Wright’s indictment. The grand jury has been investigating the Evans for allegedly skimming off more than half of the $1.25 million in state grant funds that were to have been used as part of the rehab of the Regal Theater on the South Side, the report says.

The Evans were hit with a superseding indictment alleging three counts of wire fraud, seven counts of money laundering and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.

Pastor Paula White’s Son Says 'Don't Call my Mom a ‘False Teacher’

Pastor Paula White's Son Speaks on Mother Being Called a 'False Teacher' in Rap Song

Well, we can't say that we are mad at the songwriter who made the song 'Fal$e Teacher$'. They are only speaking what the feel like many of us. So what's the big deal about a rapper making a song about what they see as false preachers, namely Pastor Paula White and others.
The rap song mentions these pastors as false preachers:
  • Paula White
  • Joel Osteen
  • Creflo Dollar
  • T.D Jakes
  • Joyce Meyer
  • Dr. Fred Price
  • Kenneth Copeland
  • Robert Tilton
  • Eddie Long
  • Juanita Bynum
  • Paul Crouch
We say hats off to the rapper for speaking the truth about many of them. Below is part of a letter by Pastor Paula White's son Bradley Knight who is addressing the rapper shai linne in an unedited open letter from PaulaWhite.org.

We don't know why her son is so bent out of shape about it when the song mentioned several other pastors which we are familiar. It just goes to proof that she and her family appear to be on the defense especially since many say she hijacked the New Destiny Christian Center by the late Dr. Pastor Zacher Tims.

Read some of the letter below:
Dear Shai Linne,
My attention was recently brought to your new single “Fal$e Teacher$” in which you say, “Paula White is a false teacher”.
This rhetoric is not new to me; I have heard it since I was a child. It is commonplace in our lives to be called “heretics”, “false teachers”, and “wolves”. Although “wolf” is vicious, it is still better than the oft heard cries of “whore”, “daughter of Babylon”, and “servants of Satan” that so often come from the mouths of our ‘Christian’ brothers and sisters.
My interest in this is because I am Paula White’s son. I also manage her ministry Paula White Ministries. One would think that hearing these accusations all my life would make me numb to their stings… but that is not the case. After all, it is my mother. This is the woman who birthed me, nurtured me, raised me to love Jesus, prayed for me when I didn’t, and patiently led me when I finally embraced the truth of His loving sacrifice. So when I hear a fellow Christian leader, whom has never had a conversation with me or my mother, call her a “Fal$e Teacher” I wonder what “Fal$e Teaching$” I myself have been inculcated with since I, more than anyone else on the face of the earth, have been most exposed to her teachings.
Is it the love of money? Working well over 40 hours a week for a yearly salary of $44,200 is not a bad living, and I am thankful that I have the ability to take care of my wife and myself. However, it is far from greed....
Of course the letter just justifies what he states is his mother's ministry as the work for the Lord. He goes on to use scriptures  and calls the song as 'pure cannibalization without biblical precedence'. So, he's saying the idea behind the song eats away at her ministry? Hmm, very interesting.

Florida Church Founder Bishop Gentle Groover’s Son Found Guilty of Child Rape

Paul Keith Groover sentenced for sex rape

Florida Church Founder Bishop Gentle Groover's Son Found Guilty of Child Rape

The son of a church elder will spend the next 10 years in prison for repeatedly molesting a teenage boy inside the Jacksonville church his father helped found.

Paul Keith Groover, 58, pleaded guilty Thursday to sexual battery and was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud. He will get credit for the 839 days he's already served.

Groover is the son of Bishop Gentle Groover Sr., a founding member of the Greater Refuge Temple, an Apostolic church off Lem Turner Road.

As part of the plea deal, two other charges of sexual battery and one charge of lewd or lascivious molestation were dropped.

Groover, who worked as a janitor in the church, molested the boy when he was underage from 2003 to 2007. The Times-Union does not identify sex crimes victims.

Assistant State Attorney Alan Mizrahi told Soud that the court wanted to prosecute Groover on all the charges and seek a longer prison sentence, but the victim had asked for a plea deal and didn't want to relive what happened to him by testifying at a trial.

Soud indicated he didn't think Groover was getting enough time in prison. If he'd been found guilty by a jury, Soud could have sentenced him to 30 years.

"It's only because of the victim's request that this court is accepting this disposition," Soud said. "But it's an understandable request since it would compound what he's had to endure."
