This is the kind of thing that happens when district boards and churches ALLOW pastors to not run churches according to the law.

Let me help you out, bro...

Apparently, a church got deleted. As a result, some deleted deleted redacted deleted redacted deleted, and then deleted redacted deleted for national security purposes deleted redacted BUT THEN deleted deleted deleted deleted redacted.

But now deleted deleted redacted deleted TOP SECRET!! deleted over in deleted by redacted.

Redacted deleted deleted redacted redacted shredded deleted redacted in deleted by redacted but deleted deleted redacted.

Got that?

Pass it on.

To fill some of you in. There's a strict traditional Apostolic Oneness church that was founded and pastored for several years (50?) who had authoritarian type control. He didn't have a board and ran everything himself, including all of the finances. When he got older, he had his daughter do all of the finances, but he remained in total control of the church until his death a few weeks ago.

When he became incapacitated, his daughter was in full control doing whatever he wished.

When he died, it left a vacuum of power which the daughter gladly took to herself! She was being paid very well for her services to the church, and she politicked for a local preacher to be pastor who had agreed that she could keep her position. She is divorced and the local preacher is single, so there are rumors that they are romantically involved. Just a rumor.

Last week, the daughter gave herself a raise of $200 per week as there is nobody in power to oppose. If she keeps her position of office manager, she would remain at the "current" salary of $50,000. Keep in mind that the church runs less than 100 people!

Well, last week she sent out certified letters to many of the families that voted against her choice as pastor, telling them that they are no longer members of the church and are not invited back! The are saints that have been loyal members for many years!

It appears that she is doing "scorched earth" to the church to keep her position. You see, all of the church property is in the former pastor's name, since he never had a church board for legal matters. If the church is dissolved, she might claim the church property as an inheritance.
