Current Events > Conservative Pastor had over 200 People DONATE their STIMULUS CHEQUES to HIM!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dailymail has revealed that Criminal Pastor, Tony Spell has gotten 205 people to donate part of their STIMULUS CHEQUES to HIS church after he urged parishioners to join the #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge!!

He is still ignoring HOUSE ARREST orders and defied lockdown guidelines to host packed services in Louisiana

The Controversial Pastor of Life Tabernacle Church introduced this challenge on April 19th and told TMZ that donations came from both his people and outsiders who felt "compelled" by "god" to help his church

He said the money would go to missionaries and evangelists and said Rule #2 "Donate your stimulus money. Rule #3 donate it to evangelists, north american evangelists who havent had an offering in a month. Missionaries who haven't had an offering in a month. Music ministers who haven't had an offering in a month"

He also claims he and his wife donated their own and that viewers who don't belong to a church can go to his website to donate to others

He defended his actions stating non profits and faith based programs can apply for Paycheque Protection but that "we don't want to" as CNN's Victor Blackwell said "But that is your choice" as the anchor pointed out many members of his congregation have trouble getting transport to his church and said why not give that money to them and why isn't it a time for the church to give those in need?

Spell said "This is a challenge. We are challenging you, if you can, to give your stimulus package to evanegalists and missionaries who don't get the package. We do not want SBA loans. We don't want the government to give us a dime. We are happy to provide for ourselves"

He has consistently flouted social distancing guidelines to host sunday churches and got in trouble with the law when he almost RAN OVER a protester and was charged with assault.

He said the only thing he is guilty of is practicing his faith and as he walked out of prison, his fans PRAISED HIM

Lol, the best scam of all time

---

I mean, Oral Roberts once convinced people that if they didn't donate money to him that God would "call him home" so nothing surprises me about these grifters.

---

You just know hes sitting back in his chair like man, I cant believe that actually worked.

---

I'd ask how these people just sit back and accept this money

but i guess when you don't have an honest moral bone in your body, it's easy af.

They got a buncha fake moral bones though

---

Is he donating the money to people who need it or just scamming people? The article seems to imply the former while the topic the latter.

---

Scummy of him

But also I'm betting most of the donors likely didn't need the money.

And if they did need the money and threw it away, they're fucking dumb but again, totally up to them.

Edit: but if he's actually re-donating the money to people who genuinely need it then I don't see an issue with it

---

Sometimes I wish there was a Hell for people to burn in

---

No tax on that either good for him

---

I mean I've donated money to my church, but I've also been a part of my church for 20 years and have worked with them forever, I basically know where pretty much every cent goes. This though is despicable. It's one thing for a small town church to ask for money and then use it for good causes, it's another for a man to get rich off of his church and to then ask for more money from desperate people. He says he will use it for good, but megachurches don't become megachurches by giving away almost every dime they get.

How do people not understand that he's scamming them

If he hadn't asked them and guilt tripped them and they simply donated a part or half or whatever of their check of their own volition then it'd be whatever.

Also I might be a little more sympathetic if this dude hadn't been defying orders about large gatherings and still trying to hold church in the middle of a pandemic.

I mean, it's people's decision what to do with their own stimulus money. If they feel compelled to donate it to a cause they believe in, all the power to them. That said, evangelists are a special kind of scum.

---

Very heroic of him. That money is going towards the war with Coronavirus. Bless this man!

These evangelists pastors put themselves out there as the most religious & devout followers of God but theyre also the most scummy.

---

This actually seems like a good racket, I should convert immediately and become a pastor.

Yes, they are despicable Philistines, twisting the very Path of G.od. Monetising faith is gravely against the Scriptures and anything rightful. They will be held accountable for their infamy in due time. Everyone gets what they deserve, especailly when posing as men of G.od and making trade and profit with the faith.

---

that person is subhuman and deserves all the worst possible things to happen to him...

What do you guys think of that Joel Osteen fella?
