LINK Pastor Lamor Whitehead Robbed of $400K in Jewels During Live-Streamed New York City Church Service
A New York City pastor with a taste for luxury goods says he is doing fine after being robbed in the middle of a live-streamed service on Sunday. Footage shows Bishop Lamor Whitehead speaking at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie, Brooklyn, when three masked gunmen suddenly storm in. “All right, all right,” Whitehead says before dropping to the ground on his hands and knees. The armed robbers stole $400,000 worth of jewelry before making their getaway. According to the New York Post, the men stole the valuable items from Whitehead, his wife, and possibly churchgoers as well. In a Facebook video afterward, Whitehead said he was “good” and that when he saw the men walk in: “I didn’t know if they wanted to shoot the church up or if they were just coming for a robbery.” Later in the video he defended his taste for expensive things: “A lot of people are going to say, ‘Why are you so flashy?’ It’s my prerogative to purchase what I want to purchase if I work hard for it.”

It just occurred to me, maybe it's an insurance fraud scheme.
And when he says "It’s my prerogative to purchase what I want to purchase if I work hard for it." --- what the actual fuck? Work hard? He's no better than Dr Oz, Dr Phil, or the pillow guy.

1st thought
Why did they have so much expensive jewelry? Greed and foolish church members.

He doesn't work hard for his expensive stuff, not in the way a grunt employee does sweating a paycheck. He just fleeces gullible followers of their money. He does not earn an honest living.. He reminds me more of a buffoonish pimp than a pastor. Maybe he went into the preaching business because it seemed more profitable than being a pimp, but either way, he seems to be just as much into the bling as the other profession..
Maybe if Starsky and Hutch gets remade, he can audition for the part of Huggy Bear...
