The biggest snake-oil salsemen in all church history is back and doing just as he did which got him in prison in the first place, one Jim Bakker. Selling freeze-dried food, junk jewelry and other stuff to scare people into giving him their money. He’s using the end of time to flease Gods precious sheep selling buckets of food for 3000 and more dollars, this cancer must be stopped! He should never have been let out of prison! I won’t call any names, but some family members of mine have bought watches from this con-man, which did not even work when they oppened them.
I started to attend a Christ Embassy Church in England as I loved the enthusiasm the congregants had for the Gospel. But Ithey were always chasing money for the business of evangelism and charging excessive amounts of money for the vast output of DVD material. When I noticed the lavish lifestyles of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s family it just didn’t sit right with me. After all Jesus had a donkey and even that was borrowed. It just don’t sit right and I don’t go to any church now as that trust has gone. How would a man of God even dare to behave in this way. James x
Why won’t yall investigate Scientology and David Miscavage their Chairman of the Board.You go after everyone else Ole.These people are taking millions and millions of dollars from people daily.Also buying up real estate and building these so called Ideal Orgs all over the U.S and other countries..I could not understand this 15 years ago.When I disagreed with Ole’s doctrine on the bible period.I think as a group yall are so very caring and loving to each other.I for the most part have never liked TV preacher’s at all.Robert Tilton is the all time worse I do believe.Hard to believe BET lets him on there these days.The wife he has now is as ugly as home made sin.Guess the big white poodle dogs sleep with ole Bob when she is mad at him when people do not pay on their $1000 vow of faith.Also have seen that W.V. Grant Jr ole hairy back that likes to stand in the nude after having his afternoon delite.Has the Eagle Nest in a old Datson dealership on I 30 close to Jim Miller whats up with him thought yall took him down years ago.He must have some ape in him with the hair he can grow all over his body…Really guys go after the scientology people they are the ones taking the most from people and it is truelly a real cult for sure!!!! Peggy and I are doing fine these days.Our church that split from Resurrection Episcopal Dallas.We have purchased 5 acres of land in Rockwall County about five miles south on Hwy 205 going towards Terrell.Hopefully Lord willing Transformation Anglican Church will have a nice new church to worship in with our Pastor Father Don McLane someday in the near future…
There is a man named Tom Deckard who claims he is a MAJOR prophet of God. I have friends involved with this guy and they are totally brainwashed into believing his lies. Cradle of Hope Minitries is the name of the group. AKA House of Ephraim. The “Prophet” is selling land on the Turks Islands to his followers so they can all live together out there. I don’t wanna see my friends go out there. I’m not sure what will happen.
im an ex-member of WWF in spindale, nc… i escaped 4 years ago. i have some info you all may be interested in. you can contact me with this email
I pastor two small outreach chapels up here in Washington State. Ours is a hands on ministry which focuses on the homeless, those going into, or coming out of prison, as well as persons hurt by religion. We all are rough around the edges here but our mentor is Jesus Christ; Him crucified and risen, not some slick preacher. We take no offerings. We have no paid staff. God has met all of our needs 100%.(Matthew 7:11). I have been deeply troubled by the false gospel found in so many churches today by false preachers whose God is their bank account They are in for a shocker.(Matthew 7:22). Thank you so very, very much for your ministry, and thank you for your courage in standing for the Truth!
Sincerely bro.Paul.
It is hard for me to believe that real ministers like you exist. These mega churches today take in everything that can get their hands including money. Their lifestyles go up and up. Bigger homes, designer clothes, bigger jets…..all for Jesus.
Well, let me say on behalf of Jesus….the world was created by him…he does not need a once cent from me. He is able to bring anyone to himself…if they be willing. His kingdom is not built with human hands…..but takes residence in the human heart. I say to the money monger Preachers build your kingdom and put up your gates to protect them………got will shake them right down to the foundation exposing the truth always. I see this Mega Kingdoms going down and I just praise Jesus that he is true to his word.
Thank you preacher for living and preaching God’s word. Your the one God says…..his eyes go to and fro looking for just one….
like you he can use to touch the prisoner, the poor, the unwanted.
These folks don’t sit up in the Mega Church in their nice clothes and give their special offerings for a jet.
to add to your prosperity gospel list …rod parsley
What is a suitable response to these people being investigated?
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.” Phillipians 1:20
Or do we Love them neighbourly like Jesus asks us to completely?
Who were the people that tried to test Jesus?
One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question. Matthew 22:35
Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? Acts 15:10
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
Investigate TB Joshua and SCOAN now ! Before more disasters will take place.
The “prosperity gospel” made childs abroad USA borders in Quebec Canada. I was going to a charismatic non denominationnal assembly of Pastor Alberto Carbone from the assembly “vie et réveil” (like and awakening). On evening Mr. Carbone stopped the worship choir and declared ”…if someone has a mercedez benz to give me I will take it.” I left this assembly the same week. The assembly is kept in bondage under a single verse from the old testament
Numbers 14:27
27 “How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the complaints of these grumbling Israelites.
So you cant say anything about the leaders, their lifestyle, the collect, or just about anything the pastors decide. Everything has to be taken care of without questionning. When ever you have a question about the ministry you are hit with the same line ”this is whispering and criticism” we dont accept this in the assembly. But Mr. Alberto Carbone lives in a house paid by the ministry, all his personnal expenses are going on the tax declaration as a non profit organization.
Matthew 6:20
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Further more, in Montréal, non profit organisation dont have to pay municipal charges also. For me this ministry is a big tax evasion fraud and spending goes on without questionning. I have heard that there is so much money accumulated the ministry doesent know what to do with the funds from the collect. That was in 2002. Since, I have been told they had built a chruch exactly like in the USA mega churches. The system imparted in the USA under the “prosperity gospel” is giving rise to ******* childs outside USA borders and corrupting ministries abroad. This has to be denounced and stopped.
I have seened on a christian publication that in the USA there is architecture designers specialising in chruch building. The scripture declares that we, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and Jesus said “I will destroy this temple of stone and rebuild it in 3 days”(quoted from memory). Now the church today is doing as bad as the catholics when they where building huge cathedrals in the middle ages.
Mark 14:58
“We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’”
In Canada, charity offers are tax deductible for everyone. So when you give to a ministry you are handed out every year a tax slip with the money you gave and you can deduct this amount off your tax declaration. The Lord Jesus did say that ”what you right hand give your left hand doesent know what is given” (quoted from memory). You should not count “your blessings” on a exel spreadsheet every year because this is not scriptural.
Matthew 6:3
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
I am lucky that the Lord Jesus gave me enoth decernment to make a difference between the dirty deeds of mens and the Lord Jesus perfect work at cross where is blood was spilled for my redemption.
Be blessed in the Holy name of Jesus.

Hello, I would like to report TB Joshua again for his blatant lying that he knew where the Malaysian MH370 aeroplane is.
Find online of what he so called prophesied and check out (the Joshua Watch) for more information concerning this and video materials. Also investigate John Zavlaris in New York. Please google and investigate. These men are liars and deceivers and a scandal on Christian beliefs. These are worse than Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis.
Thank you.
It’s pointless to just highlighting fraudsters: christian also want a list of good ministries to give.
If there is a list of good preachers with good accountability we will rather give them. IS there such a list?
Dear Konstantine,
Ministry Watch publishes a “Shining Light” list along with their donor alert list. Also, if you agree with our mission of investigating and exposing religious fraud and excess, we could use your financial support as well.
regards,
Pete
This essay is written from a logic perspective. From a secular or religious viewpoint, I don’t care if someone embraces a Deist, Theist or atheist world view; we should all agree that there is no need or reason for humans to be in a place called hell. Plus, I think it is more important that a person understands what motivates them to choose to include or exclude religious faith in their daily lives. Many individuals have hidden or damaged emotions that are buried in a sea of pain; who were traumatized and tormented by the religious fanatics they know.

No humans in hell !!!

ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTE: THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN SEVERELY CUT SHORT DUE TO LENGTH…
We are told that the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. Now this sword of the spirit in human life and language has been dulled by the traditions of men, women and Satan himself; but the Heavenly language words spoken by the Spirit of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. A human sword can separate body parts; but the perfect Word of God sword can separate the soul (mind, will and emotions) body and our spirit made in the image of God. So God can redeem us and quarantine our old nature and never again should we be so foolish to think God would want to send us and our old nature to co-exist together in Hell since God loves us enough to separate our wheat from our chaff.
–
May my thoughts be more logic driven, avoiding religious fanaticism and truly acknowledging the love of God for all humans destined to continually be in the presence of God, to love and be loved by Him forever!

Arthur,
I’m sorry to have cut a lot out of your comment, but it was extremely long. I disagree with some of your conclusions, but your comments are welcome as long as they are not essay length.

Is there anything you can do to expose these tv evangelist that are nothing more than con men. They are popping up by the dozens every week. Of course, you already know who the worst ones are.
The Swaggert’s & Mike Murdock’s of this world are a disgrace.
Please do something about this epidemic of cso called “christian” con men.
We mainly focus our investigations on televangelists with a national presence (so yes) but we are unable to go into detail about current investigations.
Has anyone heard of Dana Ashlie..she has a youtube ministry and is leading hundreds of thousands of Christians astray. Her videos’ are foul…she speaks and twists the Word of God, shows many subliminal messages and pictures that provoke lust and devil worship, while she is speaking about her views on the bible. She has a paypal account where you can give to her ministry, and she lives in the Bluejay area of Calif., unicorporated Sanbernadino county, pop. 2000 or so people, in a fancy home (rented?) in the hills above the ocean…I think SanBernadino Area. Is there a way to warn the people about her? I tried, but she has blocked me from making comments.
dana Ashlie is leading thousands of Gods people astray with her twisted version of Gods word, she says the Holy Spirit chose her because she had not studied the bible and was open to the correct interpretation of the word because of that. She tells people they can send her money at paypal.com. her videos are very sickening, as they are full of subliminal messages and lusty and demonic imagery. Will someone be able to look into her ministry? she feel that the dreams and prophesys she receives are from God. thank you! Jesus is the Lord of all!!
Hi Barbara,
We have not heard of her but we will start a file. We can’t guarantee that we will actively investigate because we are swamped right now and have a small staff with limited resources. Thank you for the information.
Kind Regards,
Trinity Staff
Please keep me advised as to the law in respect to the I.R.S. Code, Post Office, FCC, U.S. Postal Service, and their various violations by any one claiming to be a church, apostle of Jesus Christ, evangelist, prophet, etc. Please note the United States Justice Department does not have to prosecute anyone. No judge has the constitutional authority to make a U.S. Attorney–sign a grand jury indictment. Be for any U.S. Attorney may bring anyones name up before a grand jury–the local district director of the I.R.S. must sign a special form. Please read U.S.Code Title 28 section 6001-6005, The immunity Statutes under the organized crime control act. The I.R.S. itself may be part of a sting operation–remember deception however small is still deception. When does the U.S. Government become culpable operating on the ignorance of the people—-see Robert Dixon’s work–Washington University–St. Louis, Mo00hw wrote the immunity statutes—verbatim—I am presently reading Dr. Gordon H. Clark’s book The New Heavens, New Earth. I am in the process of structuring a Citizen’s, Military, leadership camp/collegium. Remember the Cadet Code at West Point–says–we don’t cheat lie and steal and don’t tolerate those who do. Please keep me advised. I feel I will learn from you very much and in a meaningful way..thank you
I hope you are well Ole. Keep up the good work. May God grant you better health and strength in the days ahead. Merry Christmas to you and your entire ministry staff and friends.
God bless,
Bob
What are you doing to put Kenneth Copeland out of business ? I lost a good friend , because i told her Kenneth Copeland was a crook. She is a minister and believes he’s anointed by God. I want to help put this con man out of business. How can I help ? Please let me know.
February 25, 2019: I see today that Todd Coontz has again posted a photo on his Twitter site showing him with his arm around President Donald Trump. This is about the third or fourth time in recent months that he has posted that picture. I get the feeling that Coontz is fishing for a presidential pardon. Mark Kluthe.
I would like to help fight televangelist who fleece people and other dishonesty in the pulpit.contact me please
Hi Bruce,

Please start looking into Global Awakening (Randy Clark in Harrisburg, PA), the International House Of Prayer (Kansas), the Heidi Baker Ministries, Bill Johnston Ministries. These four “churches” cycle money in a circle to support the need to look like they are supporting other charities. But in reality, literally all donations go as compensation to 4 individuals – each receiving more than $1 million per year. When Guidestar.org let me have access to the 990’s I checked them to learn this. However, that was in 2009, and since then all these entities have restructured as “churches” and no longer have to file a 990 or report financial information publicly. These organizations are in the Toronto Blessing trend, with Holy Laughter, fainting and animal noises in worship services. They are also loosely affiliated with Morningstar Ministries (located on the old PTL acreage), which “rehabilitated” Jim Bakker and Todd Bentley.
I am a retired CPA and would love to volunteer services in reviewing financial documents. Also, I was a longtime subscriber to “The Wittenberg Door” from 1974-1982. Kudos for your work!
Hello Lyn, Sorry for the slow reply! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve read comments on our website. We appreciate your encouragement and support. Yes, we could use your help analyzing forms 990 and possibly with other things as well, such as property searches using publicly available information. We have not done a “pre-active” investigation of these 4 organizations you’ve mentioned; however they have caught our attention. Please email. We miss the Door; however, we are helping kickstart an online version again very soon. Some members of Trinity Foundation in NC are in process right now of restarting it. regards, Pete (admin) pete@trinityfi.org
Hello: I was reading something called the Roys Report on the internet. It shows that Todd Coontz’s Rockwealth Ministry website is still peddling his merchandise in his name despite the fact that the prison rules where he is incarcerated explicitly prohibit inmates from raising money or operating any kind of business during their stay in prison. Coontz is an inmate at the Pensacola federal prison in Pensacola, Florida. Someone is maintaining the Rockwealth website and sending out emails asking for financial “seeds” for Coontz. It would be nice to know how he is getting away with that.
