[dawp]

Decent chance there is insurance fraud happening here.

This guy has contacts with Mayor Adams apparently so already there's a good chance he's shady.

Wonder what his fingers alone is worth.

The only question anyone should be asking is "Why does a pastor have $1M in jewelry?". Preferably followed quickly by a rather unpleasant conversation with the IRS.

He still has to file his taxes so the income to be able to afford 1M in jewelry as well as his lavish lifestyle should be easily found in his W-2's. If not, he was skimming from the church...

Yeah, that was my point. Guessing he can't really explain the income that would be necessary to afford that much jewelry.

the sad part is the people who attend these prosperity (greed) churches give freely expecting it will come back to them and the only ones that profit are the preachers and their families.

I think that's a Catholic deal.

god giveth and god taketh.....

Everyone was born with nothing owned, no clothes, no money, no car or home owned by the baby. At the same time, when one leaves life, everything that they earned (money, car, home, ect....), they leave behind and not take with them.

Oops
Pastor robbed of $1 Million in jewelry sued for allegedly robbing congregant

The lawsuit claims that Whitehead lured saved saint-turned-victim 56-year-old Pauline Anderson into a relationship of trust as she recovered from major surgery, then made off with her hard-earned nest egg. Adding another layer to the cake, Whitehead was also running for office to becomeBrooklyn borough president at the time (he lost). The lawsuit was filed last September in New York Supreme Court in Kings County.

This is not shocking at all

If religious figures followed the admonition of Bible scriptures intended, we would not be having this discussion. Both Jesus, the Christ, we well as the Apostle Paul ordered first century Christians to pay their taxes.

I am not surprised at the incident.

But I like how one poster immediately went for a racial connection - "he knows Eric Adams." What does that mean? Hizzoner has a bag of stolen loot in his trunk?

Does anyone actually fathom how many of these prosperity and TV pastors know Trump? I am sure more than a few shook his hand warmly, broke bread with him and probably stole a lascivious glance or two at Melania's fake boobs.

Back in the day, I used to love to get high and watch Dr. Eugene Scott. One time he read a letter from one of his followers who said they'd love to contribute, but the were on the welfare. The good doctor said in quite a nasty way to get a job!.

Nah. My comment is not divisive at all. The actual Scriptures might appear divisive.

I can't stomach any of these preachers no matter how fucked up I am.

he doesn't have $1M in jewelry.

The thieves did him a favor. The Bible says it's easier for a camel to pas through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. These rich pastors all make me sick.
