Yesterday we had Ole Anthony of the Trinity Foundation on the show. This is a huge story that will continue to grow as Ole indicated there are more names to be announced. Therefore I am re-posting the earlier story.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, is investigating six prominent televangelist ministries for possible financial misconduct.
THANK THE LORD!!! FINALLY SOMEONE TAKES ON THESE CORRUPT WINDBAGS! ( I'm talking about the televangelists not the Senate).
Letters were sent Monday to the ministries demanding that financial statements and records be turned over to the committee by December 6th.
Who is it? Who is on the list?
The six ministries identified as being under investigation by the committee are led by: Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn. Three of the six - Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar - also sit on the Board of Regents for the Oral Roberts University.
False teachers, greedy wolves each and every one of them. There are more name to add to that list but it's a great start if you ask me.
According to Grassley's office, the Iowa Republican is trying to determine whether or not these ministries are improperly using their tax-exempt status as churches to shield lavish lifestyles.
Because they have tax status as churches, the ministries do not have to file IRS 990 forms like other non-profit organizations - leaving much financial information largely behind closed doors.
Let's change that shall we???? I'm sick and tired of so called pastors planting churches. What they are really planting is tax shelters!
The letters sent Monday were the culmination of a long investigation fueled in part by complaints from Ole Anthony, a crusader against religious fraud who operates the Dallas-based Trinity Foundation, which describes itself as a watchdog monitoring religious media, fraud and abuse. "We've been working with them for two years," Anthony told CBS News. "We have furnished them with enough information to fill a small Volkswagen."
