re: healing place/the church st amant scandal

Yes. I do. I’ll take the time later for more details, but I preached over there twice in the 90’s before the scandal. I spent time with the pastor and his family. The truth is a bit less scandalous than the allegations (shockingly- especially since he’s in prison for life). More later.

I don't pretend to know everything but I do know a lot. I am not a member but I go there for convenience 2-3 times a month. One of my sons is very active there. His wife works at their school. I've known Mark for 15 years and his wife since she was in high school. I donate to the church because they have one of the largest out reach programs I have ever heard of.

To the original O.P. Levi (Mark's son) and his family are working elsewhere. Just like Pastor Deano he went through some sort of program that the home organization has just for such cases.

I don't fully understand the organization but before I ever attended there I determined that the label "non-denominational" does not apply. They simply don't have a name or claim any connection to another church. I stand by that.

I can tell you this. No pastor is living a lavish lifestyle. Also one of the other Tigerturds members said Mark sounded like a car salesman. I would say that is because he is pretty much down to earth veteran Marine cowboy that is well versed in the bible. He isn't like any other pastor I have ever been around in my 75 years.

There is sooo much more. Too much to write but I can take questions.
