...whatever happened to Chester Hensley from Nederland, TX and all of his posse?

He died, and most of the posse went nuts.

ROFL!!!! That pretty much sums it up. You forgot to mention that they thought he was going to raise from the dead and didn't want to bury him.

I remember as a teenager he showed up at Louisiana Campmeeting in a beautiful balck Cadillac Limi with one of his saints dressed up in a Chauffers uniform driving him around.

It was pretty funny. I have always loved limos so I got a kick out of getting to see one close up (not to many of them in La. at that time) but thought it was strange a pastor would be riding a limo. I guess he was an early adopter of the prosperity message?

Don't really know who he was , but at least he had the class to realize that there are SOME cars that if you cant afford a chauffer for them you don't need to have one (Rolls Royces, Bentleys and Limos spring to mind immediately.)

I remember once a Bishop in some state trying to impress me by driving me around in his Rolls Royce. My own unspoken constant thought was...If you gotta drive this YOURSELF...." well the rest goes without saying.

I must have been at the same campmeeting as you. Saw him park the limo behind the tabernacle and walk in with a flourish!

Mike is this where you got the idea that he went into the prosperity message?

He did have one keen word of knowledge, according to those that saw him, it was one of the most accurate and deep giftings they had ever seen.

Sad to realize gifts don't save us, only a faithful relationship with the Savior does.

If you have a faithful relationship with the savior you better have gifts.

He definitely had...and lost it.

My dad knew him well. He reached the place where he would enter the church with the lights dimmed, he was dressed in a white robe and a spotlight would follow him all the way to the platform.

Sad, indeed.
