3 Hands of Prayer United Churches raided by FBI for targeting soldiers
[onlysky.media]
1.Keeping students enrolled in the schools without providing them with an actual education.
2.Telling veterans applying for disability benefits to give any compensation to the church through tithes.
3.Engaging in mortgage fraud by taking out mortgages in parishioners’ names while forging their signatures, using their personal data and social security numbers, all with the help of in-house notaries.
4.Telling students to lie to VA inspectors by saying they were in class when they were actually doing chores for church leaders.
5.Lying about when and where classes were being taught.
6.Charging veterans higher tuition than civilian students.
7.Lying about the ratio of veteran to civilian students.
8.Lying to the VA about its teachers’ qualifications.
9.Using students rather than staffers to recruit new members. (Some of those students were as young as 16, as one girl said, which raises additional concerns.)
10.Purposely lengthening the curriculum to keep students enrolled for a longer period of time.
11.Providing students with a certificate of completion (i.e. diploma) that was effectively useless outside the HOPCC.
12.Refusing to provide students their financial or academic records.
13.Operating like a cult, humiliating students who question the church’s leader, stalking and harassing church members who leave, and controlling the lives of certain members.
This is one of many reasons churches like this need to lose their tax exempt status. What's the matter with the IRS???
Sickening what these so called “churches” get away. I believe the IRS should regulate just who calls themselves a church, if they don’t already do this, and keep tabs on what exactly they are doing!
