Just some Q&A on the pastors from the website.

Name: Aaron Hankins If I wasn’t in the ministry I would love to be: An International Billionaire Philanthropist


Run. Just run.

quote:

Dream Vacation Spot: Maui by day, NYC by night!


Looks like the plane is headed to the right spot.

quote:

Name: Errin Cody Hankins Nickname: PEC or Errin Cody or EC


Fake news.

quote:

we led mission trips to: Brussels, Belgium; Paris, France; London, England; Scotland; Mexico; and St. Thomas.


No poors allowed.

They weren't blown up or stabbed so I assume they failed every single time.

Most high end sports cars like that are on lease


It depends on the brand but very few have lease rates even approaching 50%. Ferrari has an almost non-existent lease rate, maybe 1 out of every 30 cars and most of them are GTC4Lussos. McLaren is probably about 1 in 8. Lamborghini and Porsche are probably around the industry average ~25% since they are owned by VW. While not exactly sports cars Maseratis are almost all leased and Roll Royce leases a huge chunk of their cars (close to 50%), especially Wraiths.

Most true exotic sports cars are bought and a big percentage of them are with cash.

I understand all of this and not what I meant.

I should have clarified my statement.

Most high end sports cars for people that are stretching to buy them are doing it on lease. They aren't dropping cash on them.

There are a lot of selfish preachers out there who do not really care for their congregation.

I once went to this church and never once felt like I was just a number. Aaron Hankins is a genuine person who really cares for his church. I know his dad does a lot of travel missionary work now so I assume that the plane belongs to him. I know for a fact that the son does not use the plane for personal use for family vacations and such as I still have him on a lot of my social media feeds.

I no longer go to this church due to going through an extremely rough patch and wanting to be in church with my parents to help me cope. Despite no longer going there I still receive a personal text from Aaron multiple times a week encouraging me to stay strong in my faith and offering up prayers. I seen him regularly at the gym and he will always come up to me and check that I am doing well.

No one is perfect, I’m sure the pastors have plenty of faults but they are also extremely generous to the community and the individual.

It’s almost like things are more than what they seem at the surface sometimes...

Must be nice. Hope the worshippers there like letting their douche pastor and his wife fly to their chalet in Aspen in style.


It's so sad how these fraud pastors take so many people for their hard-earned money. I have a friend who years ago used to attend Bethany and was very dutiful about tithing. One time he came into some money and gave 10% of it (about $25K) to Bethany. He's now pretty down on his luck living hand to mouth and on disability. Well, a few years ago, he showed me something he found online where one of the sons of Stockstill had some lavish wedding somewhere in the Caribbean, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. We both sarcastically agreed that the money he gave them was "well-spent."

There're afraid of going to Hell, that's how these grifter-pastors are always able to hoodwink them into giving away their money.

Once I was fueling up the Piper Cherokee that I once flew at LA Aircraft at the Baton Rouge airport when the gates to the ramp from the parking lot opened, and 5 or 6 black SUVs rolled through, this was pre 9/11 and airport security was pretty lax. They pulled up next to a business jet, and a bunch of well dressed men, women and kids got out and boarded the jet. I thought it was some high level businessman or politician, I asked the fuel truck guy if he knew who they were, and he said the Rev. Stockstill and family.

Sounds like Stickstill and his kids have more class than the Obamas.

It doesn't surprise me. Fraud preachers like Stockstill and his sons are all about enriching themselves and living high on the hog. My friend who told me the story of his donation to Bethany said that the reason he left that church, among other things, was that one of the Stockstill son preachers used to tell the congregation during sermons that if you're not "tithing," then, "You're a thief! You're stealing from God!" What a bunch of b.s.
