Dino sure isn't hurting is he? Guess he needs more money to pay his mistress off . Whatever happened with that. Did the congregation every get to hear the truth ?

Isn't he still in Birmingham doing his rehabilitation stint leading the prison ministry for Church of the Highlands?

I've never seen a bunch of people so obsessed with a specific church as the OT is with HPC. And I bet hardly anyone has actually gone there or knows what actually goes on there.

I don't go there, but FWIW, pastor Mike is good people.

If you can't figure out that's not the norm, and you have to ask us..........., then we can't help

That's better than the guy that showed me his driver's license. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

No reverse ATM in sight, you know he's not legit.

Have been there and saw Dino in action. Went 3 times trying to see what people saw in him.
Never saw it, just another person using religion to get rich. When the preacher owns the church and doesn't relaease the finiacials to the congregation that Is a sign that there is a big problem. HPC is not a large or wealthy church compared to others I have attended .
They just don't have an arrogant, materialistic , and egotistical preacher leading them like Dino

Just so you know, Dino is no longer the pastor there and they release there audits every year now. They even make pamphlets for people to bring home. Shows what they collected from tithes and exactly what it went to, such as feeding the homeless, helping addicts, other outreach programs, expanding their churches, etc etc.

But hey, don't let me stop you from spewing your bullshite.

Not bs obviously if they haven taken steps
To correct it. Does he still own the church? Most churches I have attended gave you all that information from the beginning. Didn't take the founding preacher / owner being busted using church funds to pay off his mistress to accomplish it.
As far as the other things you mentioned congrats on finally doing what a church is supposed to do. Do you want a cookie now

An Asian gal tried to talk to me about the Hearing Prace.

Smartass me answered her in German.

The fricker spoke better German than her Engrish and her German was better than my German.

Saint, I am sure Dino would have tried if I had an old lady at the time. I don't enjoy bashing a
a church I just didn't like dino at all. The way people on here defend him amazes me. He wasn't the first person to be a sleazy preacher and definelfy won't be the last.

Actually, I think people on here just bash him.

And I'm not saying don't talk about Dino, I even share some of the sentiments that I've seen on here about him. Although, a lot have no clue what they're talking about. I'm just saying that the stuff you were saying about the church is very outdated, yet you spoke as if it's still happening.

Like I said in my previous post, people hate on HPC so much on this board and they haven't the slightest clue of what they talk about.

FWIW, Jesus wasn't helping the rich people and well off people. He was helping the poor, sick, etc, and people on this board forget that.

They think people who go to church are supposed to be perfect, when that's simply not true.

And, before someone tries to say I'm a member or defending religion, I haven't been to church in months. I'm just able to form my own opinion, rather than regurgitate stuff that's said on this board. (last part in general, not for you jln)

Saint as I said earlier I attended HPC( long time ago) and something about Dino just rubbed me the wrong way. Glad the church is doing well now. I am more of a small church guy anyway some of these mega churches amaze me. Where I live now the size of some is incredible. However most of them do a lot of good things in the community and that's what it's all about .
