Million Dollar Con???
The following email is being circulated among various clergy and laypeople in Massachusetts and throughout the U.S.A.
Beware of giving money to this man and any of his organizations.
We have discovered that he has left every property that he has rented or attempted to buy, owing large sums of money and in many cases taking contents of the building that did not belong to him or his "church".
His former Springfield Bible College left one downtown property owner holding the bag for some $20,000.00 (yes twenty thousand dollars) in unpaid rent.
One congregation member commented, "I just don't understand it! Everywhere we go we have to move because he don't pay the bills."
One would think that a metropolitan of an international church with over FOUR MILLION members (as he claims on his website) would:
1. Be too busy to pastor a local congregation made up of less than twenty people.
2. Be given a salary by his synod, as well a budget of sufficient funds to undertake the projects such as this.
WHY would such a large church need to resort to such mendicant fundraising techniques?
Call the toll free number in the email and ask!
