Who collected the money to buy this property that is in the deceased Pastor's name, and, is there more property involved? So, the "boyfriend" owns some of the property, and, of course if he marries the "daughter" he gets all of it. What happens if he gets a new "girlfriend"? What will the daughter do then? WOW!! You can't make up this stuff. Forget watching "DALLAS"!!!

The deceased Pastor ask the Church members to contribute the money so the Church could buy the property. Not sure if there is more that is not in the Church's name. Checking into that. My faith is being very much put to the test at this point.

The pastor didn't have a successor in place as he held all power until he passed, even though he could hardly speak or walk in his final months. When he became incapacitated, his daughter held full power.
Well...a church vote was held for the daughter's choice to be pastor, and he was voted down. Last week she sent certified letters to all the families that weren't in agreement with her (a majority), and told them they were no longer welcome and were no longer considered members of the church. She essentially kicked them out of the church!
IMO, her strategy is to have another vote with the remaining families that voted with her! How sad to manipulate a good group of people to get what you want!
Anyway, last week she decided to give herself a $200 a week raise as church manager. She didn't need to ask for permission as she has absolute power to do as she pleases.
I hate to see what was once a great influential Apostolic church decline to this type of behavior and power struggle! A truly sad story of how absolute power can absolutely corrupt! This happens even in an Acts 2:38, Oneness, strict standards type church.
The church is no longer tied to any Apostolic organization, so there in nobody to help them get thru this problem. Other pastors that were close friends to the church are afraid to get in the middle of this church fight! |

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Everyone is invited (although the "Bishop" from OB had already said in one of his rules, that no visitor, that has a home church, is allowed there.) Oh well, I guess being a Bishop you can make up the rules as you go along. I never did understand (as old as I am), what the requirements are to being a Bishop. I have only known a couple, and I always thought it was when a preacher gets so only he can't preach, and that may be right. Someone please let me know.

Re: A Wrecked Church!
To be a bishop
I think if you are still married to your original wife
and your kids are still in church,
and you exhibit the fruit of the Spirit
and are a teacher of The Word of God.
then you are in the realm of bishop.
