Of course Carney was not a minister until we was elected pastor of the church.

This is somewhat interesting being that some WD Pastors had him come speak....seems he was brought in to testify about said millions coming from BIL at least that is what I was told...

I heard Bro. Odum speak in Tulsa in the Late 80's about the "When the Bride Comes Out of Her Closet".... and we were at a Landmark a couple years ago...I mentioned before service to a friend about that message and Bro.Odum gets up to preach and what do you think he preached????

"When the Bride Comes Out of Her Closet"....same message he preached in the 80's...

Different "Fire" tho...don't know if it was age or just location...

Did he have someone wear a wedding gown????
He preached the same message and had my mother wear the gown as an illistruation.

This is because they were never taught "forgiveness". The church culture has promoted and enabled bitterness, strife and jealousy by not teaching the fundamentals of Christianity. All they taught was Jesus name baptism and why everybody else was lost.

[QUOTE=gulfcoastbrother;326811]James has bigger visions than being a politician in the MS Dist. He makes literal millions every year as pastor just off of his brother in law's tithes. Not to mention the 2-3 other millionaires in his church. He loses money being the Supt. Jean his wife told my mother, the travel is too hard on them. It cuts into their annual trips to Europe.[/QUOTE]

JC is one of my closest friends. I have never known of his travels to Europe.

Also, millions of his brother-in-laws tithes might be a bit of a stretch...
