@ChrissyQISBACK I have my doubts too. If the raid was conducted by the IRS, he might be able to hire a defense attorney to negotiate an out-of-court pre-trial agreement. That is what I think occurred with Benny Hinn in 2017. If the FBI was involved, the plot thickens.

Not sure what to make of Greg Locke's comments. In today's sermon he claims the Feds recently conducted a pre-dawn raid of his property. He begins discussing close to 47:56. This reminds me of the Fed raid on Benny Hinn in 2017. https://t.co/2wDnnzbuwa

The IRS revoked the tax exemptions of four non-profits. I wish Kingdom of God Global Church was on this list.

On July 9th, Ed Young's Fellowship Church appears in Dallas County Court. Proposed judgment requires Fellowship Church to pay $4,936.26 in property taxes for property owned through integrated auxiliary Church Sign Shop.

While I mostly investigate religious organizations, sometimes I venture into the swamp of government corruption & waste. Today's accidental discovery: Government-Owned Luxury Assets. The Saudi government owns outrageous mansions in the McLean, Virginia. One is worth $32 million.

Unreal. @Daystar shows once again how corrupt it really is, listing dead people as board members. How does this network continue to broadcast?

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

Televangelist Marcus Lamb died in 2021, & his parents died a decade before, but they were all listed as board members or registered agents in a 2024 corporate filing to Texas Secretary of State from Daystar affiliate WPXS Inc. https://t.co/YxQOxkVnv1

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

Request for the @TXsecofstate - Could your office ask Word of God Fellowship Incorporated to update its list of board members? The last periodic report was filed in 2008 and includes four board members that have since died, including the president and vice president.

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

A question for the IRS @IRSnews - Will this new proposal, if enacted, require a revision of the Form 990 to remove the listing of the five highest-compensated employees?

"Church discipline in the hands of authoritarian church leaders is cause for alarm." Weird fact: Pastor Adam Tyson is on the board of a Ugandan ministry that constructed a jail cell inside a church. https://t.co/MnvSnPHElL

There is a saying, "Good lawyers know the law; great lawyers know the judge." Corruption is rampant in the court system. The key to understanding this corruption is to know who donates to judges' political campaigns.
I looked up a judge in Florida and noticed this: Most of the judge's donors are attorneys. They are buying access.

@reachjulieroys @MastersSeminary Let's not forget that Adam Tyson serves on the board of Sufficiency of Scripture Ministries which constructed a jail cell in its new Ugandan church building. https://t.co/EprV5sOYPm

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

@ReachRoysReport Pastor Adam Tyson is party to another scandal: He serves on the board of Sufficiency of Scripture Ministries which constructed a jail cell in its new church building. https://t.co/EprV5sOYPm

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

@AlyssaDegraff Another reminder: Pastor Adam Tyson is on the board of SOS Ministries which constructed a prison cell in their new Ugandan church. https://t.co/EprV5sOYPm

Recently submitted 15 FOIA requests to the FBI, seeking info about deceased religious leaders & evidence of organized crime in churches. The first FOIA response became available. 27 pages for John Wesley Fletcher. Includes FBI questionaire for investigation of Heritage USA.

@SamNotReallySam House is 6,663 square ft on a 43 acre plot of land. County appraisal: $2.3 million. That might seem really big, but recently I found a mystery property worth almost $15 million registered to an LLC created by an attorney representing televangelists.

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

@AlyssaDegraff What I learned from writing this article is that I need to spend more time studying the legal arguments. In the past I spent more time focusing on the initial lawsuit or criminal charges and final verdict.

[Barry Bowen @barrybowen]

The federal court case of Mexican cult leader Apostle Naasón Joaquín García for sex trafficking conspiracy serves as a master class for studying the criminal defense strategies of religious leaders.
