It is so weird that when I search for "Apostolics of Memphis" on FB I can't find them.

Since it's a new page, it's probably going to be a bit before it shows in the search. It's the same way with Twitter.

Don't mind paying my share...as a matter of fact, I am eager to.
I just need some assurance that the money is going toward the WORK OF GOD and not toward the WORK OF IMMORALITY.

Pyro, I agree. Some people say just give it to God and don't worry about how it is used. I agree mostly with that premise in that I don't think the tithe payer should micro manage what is done with their tithe money.
However like you said I believe we have a responsibility to tithe to those who are actually using the tithe for God's work and if one knowingly tithes to someone they know is not using the tithe to support God's work then they are not pleasing God and will have to answer to him for it.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
It will be interesting to see how many TPC members this new church "Apostolics of Memphis" pulls away since it is pastored by a minister formally attached to and associated with TPC.
If anybody affilated with this new church reads this can you please comment on what basis this new church is starting? Is it on the premise that the pastor feels TPC treated TB unfairly so he no longer wants to be a part of TPC and wants to offer an alternative for like minded TB supporters?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
DE a former minister at TPC is starting a new church. DE background is that he is the son of a Baptist Minister from Jackson TN that received the HG at a bring your own friend service at TPC about 7 years ago. He was a right hand man (favorite) for TB (administrative, organizer), and you would see him on the platform, took trips to NYC, and other preaching points that TB had. Most every Sunday that TB was in town he would go with the entourage and place little placard where everyone was to sit, before TB and their family arrived. It has since been shown that all these meals were paid for by the church. He also co-chaired the Ministerial Association and enforced and enacted various projects that TB had. He also claimed to be a son in the Gospel, a Timothy if you would of TB. He frequently used the word "Apostle" for TB, and encouraged others to do so. His motive for leaving is that he was upset that the church board refused to honor a $250,000+ severance pay for TB and his SIL's that he helped negotiate (in a motel room meeting with CJ) at the time of TB resignation. He felt that even if they decided not to pay TB, that they should at least pay the SIL's.
He asked the UPC if they would allow him to open a church in Memphis, and he was told not right now. It is a bad time, and rumor has it, that he met with TB and was informed that TB planned to open a church in Olive Branch, MS and if he would wait a couple months, then TB would turn it over to him after it got off the ground. He decided not to wait or be involved in that church, and rented a building on Mendenhall in the Hickory Hill area of Memphis. He has taken several member that weren't going anywhere and one family that was attending regularly. It looks like there will be 20-30 members all who are the in-out types, that were never really faithful in attendance.
When told that all the ministers were being set down and being placed on equal level after TB left, he stated "I am called to minister, and if I'm not going to have a future here, then my family and I will have to do something else". He sat for two weeks in the congregation and then left to attend "Lighthouse UPC" in Jackson, TN with the rest of TB SIL's and wife.
He will now be able to minister, without having to sit down with the other ministers at TPC.
