Larry Stockstill head pastor at Bethany World Prayer Center endorses two so called “conservative” groups which associated Pres. Obama’s administration with “MONKEYS” and have been successfully sued for discriminating against black employees. Larry Stockstill says he feels “CONFIDENT” about recomending these racist groups. WHY HASN’T THERE BEEN A PUBLIC REBUKE IN THEIR BLOGS ABOUT THESE RACIST STATMENTS? INSTEAD LARRY SPEAKS AT THESE EVENTS!!
Why? Because Larry Stockstill is one of their “WATCHMEN ON THE WALL” (search his name on their site and watch how many results come back with his attendance!! Again, before they remove these links, verify them for yourelf and then come back to read. The link is below this picturet:

1.) The Family Research Council:
- The FRC’s current President, Tony Perkins, was fined as a campaign manager for Woody Jenkins in 1996 by The Federal Goverment for purchasing Former Grand Wizard David Duke’s K.K.K. Mailing list of voters and not reporting it.
http://www.lsureveille.com/opinion/woody-jenkins-espouses-republican-party-virtues-of-bigotry-1.762137 - The FRC’s current president, TONY PERKINS, also spoke at the Conservative Citizens Council(white supremacist group) in 2001.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Perkins_(politician)?wasRedirected=true - The FRC’s current President, Tony Perkins, also invited a Republican Senator Roy Blunt (Missouri) to their Sunday dinner who referred to Pres. Obama’s adminstration as “MONKEYS”.
- This same Family Research Council allowed a vendor to present our President Obama on a waffle box reminiscent of Aunt Jamima Waffle Box at their Voter’s Value Summit. It wasn’t until this racism was immediately released to the Media, the Family Research Council closed down that booth. Their excuse was that they had no idea what these vendors was going to sell, EVENTHOUGH THESE VENDORS HAD TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE F.R.C. Unlike LARRY STOCKSTILL, Elizabeth Hassleback(Christian) spoke out publicly on NATIONAL T.V.(you go girl!!!) Click Here For Elizabeth Hassleback’s National Rebuke now on YOUTUBE.

- This same Tony Perkins, who Larry Stockstill endorses, is from Larry’s neighborhood Baker, La. In fact, a disciple praised Larry in his blog:
- “We are thankful for LOCAL MEN LIKE YOU, Joel, and TONY PERKINS”.
http://larrystockstill.com/?p=51 - In May, 2009 Larry Stockstill spoke at Tony Perkins’ conference. I wonder if David Dukes’ list of voters were attending or did they tell more MONKEY jokes. WHY DIDN’T BETHANY IMMEDIATELY AND PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THESE STATEMENTS??!! Instead Larry Stockstill CONTINUES TO ENDORSE THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THEM!!

The CHRISTIAN COALITION also used the derogatory and racist description of “MONKEY” against Pres. Obama AND HIS supporters. They posted an article on their site called “OBAMA’S LEGION OF FLYING MONKEYS“. The President’s white supporter ,Jon Stewart’s description was lightened to a “SILVER BACK BABOON” in contrast to their general description of a flying-monkey.
Pres. Obama was described as the “KING” of the “MONKEYS“. However Larry’s Christian Coalition is fighting to keep the racists Glenn Beck of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh on air??!! http://www.cc.org/blog/obama039s_legion_flying_monkey039s_hollywood
This same Pastor Larry volunteered himself to join Gov. Foster as his personal Pastor as everyone else sought to shun him. Gov. Foster during his campaign gave Former Grand Wizard David Duke $150,000.00 for his KKK mailing list of registered voters. Qualified voter list can be purchased for a few hundred dollars from the Registrar!! Foster gave Duke 20x’s the amount! WHY LARRY STOCKSTILLS’ “CHRISTIAN” BRETHREN CONSTANTLY PURCHASING K.K.K. VOTERS’ LIST??!!

This same Christian Coalition is known for giving black politicians an “F” grade and their white politicians “A” and “B”.

At the sametime the above DOUBLE STANDARD WAS BEING APPLIED, Black employees were suing The Christian Coalition that Larry Stockstill endorses. The Christian Coalition retaliated against their black employees by making them enter through the back door only. A Federal Judge, Judge RICARDO M. URBINA, had to step in and demand The C.C. Stop their retaliations.
(LEE vs. CHRISTIAN COALITION of AMERICA Inc.)
JOEL CARL HUNTER RESIGNED as President of The Christian Coalition due to differences with the majority of it’s members. Mr. Hunter suggested the C.C. fight equally for the Civil Rights of poor people(who are mainly Black People), BUT THE CHRISTIAN COALITION WAS NOT INTERESTED in that, only battling homosexuals. Thus Mr. Hunter IMMEDIATELY RESIGNED!!

PASTOR STEPS DOWN BECAUSE OF DISAGREEMENT WITH THE CHRISTIAN COALITION’S AGENDA(N.Y. Times)
The sad thing Baton Rouge, Larry’s congregation is majority black!!LOL!!! If you visit the sites of these racist organizations, Larry uses the EXACT SAME rhetoric on his blog! While other Christians “SPEAK OUT” and “DISASSOCIATE”, Larry Stockstills happily joins and remains SILENT. Again, so does Larry’s Black “Remnant”. That’s why they stayed out of Jena and Plaquemine’s closing of Black Schools and Mayor Kip Holden’s Night Out On Crime(held at Miracle Place Chrurch in Baker).

Hey Ovadyah,
First,I don’t want to argue with you I just wanted to pass on some information. Please don’t respond to my email, just F.Y.I.
I’m CAUCASIAN/WHITE and this is common knowledge among the whites in our cells. As Bethany’s Baker Campus turned black, everyone was suprised and that’s where Joel was put since he’s a young person and knows they hip hop styles. It’s sorta like Downtown New Orleans that used to be white back in the day but everyone white began leaving and it turned black.They sending whites back there to worship with the blacks. This is what happened to Bethany North.
The other thing, the young blacks at Bethany North are not old enough to remember things like Gov. Foster, David Duke, Tony Perkins and Woody Jenkins and they don’t watch Fox News or are aware of Rush Limbaugh’s commenting on his radio show. If these things are hidden from they and their parents, the blacks simply put faith in Pastor Larry.
I’m actually torn on what to do. Everyone knows that they were pushing the blacks to vote for McCain and Palin but it seriously backfired and is causing ripples to this day. It just feels odd now worshippin at Bethany. The tension is there but we try to ignore it.
Randy, I’ll reply here instead of email.
I see what you’re saying about them being mostly young people who aren’t paying attention to current and past affairs. BUT, when you are shown the evidence and you still remain……you’re LOST!! How can you be more dedicated to an UNREPENTANT SINNER than GOD? How can you be dedicated to an UNREPENTANT SINNER than God’s Word? Again, they’ve made Larry Stockstill an untouchable deity!
My Brother,
You sure gotta a lotta leaders at Bethany fired up. I’m praying for your protection. I don’t agree with everything but I do agree with the majority of what you write. Facts R Facts.
But yeah the Stockstills are rarely around during the week anymore. I found out from the inside they got tired of answering questions so they best way to avoid them is leave the congregation during the weekday.
This isn’t the Bethany I grew up in. There were no political ties, nobody claiming to be a prophet, nobody coercing you to vote for their person, we actually use to have leaders repent when they sinned BUT NOW they just blame the congregation for not praying for them.
I’m seriously torn on what to do. My feelings tell me to stay but my common sense shouts “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE IDIOT!!!”. I know what the Bible says but….it’s not easy to leave long time friends. I guess it’s a self check on who I follow, Christ or friends? I dunno……it’s just sad to see my church go unrepentant, greedy, and decieve like this. OVADYAH I PROMISE YOU IT WASN’T LIKE THIS AT FIRST.
Trust me, you’re in my prayers. I PRAY FOR BOTH BLACK AND WHITE CONGREGANTS AT BETHANY! Look not to The Stockstills but real prophets like the ones in Scripture. They didn’t have MegaChurches and crowded conferences. Jeremiah went against the grain and was thrown in a pit, Daniel went to Lions, the prophets during Elijah’s time were slaughtered and Christ was tortured on an execution stake. Joel tries to appoint himself in a Propeht’s position but his double standard and failed prophecies make him FALSE. Keep your head in Scripture and meditate in prayer, the worst thing you can do is base your reactions on “emotion”.
Brother O, and All who are leaving the cult of Bethany.
Stay encouraged, and persevere until the end. I want to leave you with the words of one of my favorite civil rights speech leaders the late Cesar Chavez.

“When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us, so it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are. It is my deepest belief that only by giving life do we find life, that the truest act courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others, God help us to be men.” — Cesar Chavez
—As the Master put it,
“I AM the Good Shepherd, The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep(Jn. 10:11).”
“No one has greater love THAN THIS, that one lays down his life for his friends”(Jn 15:13).
Brother, there are so many folks there that have been threatened to be ostracized by family they need constant encouragement. One sister in Christ, who ask me not to publish her story, is still strong in the faith and setting captives free. So, don’t give up. They might own Louisiana but they don’t own Christ! Amen!
Well Ovadyah it looks like you’ve finally left’em speechless. I’ve been waiting to see which of the prophets disciples would defend this one and I notice they finally SHUT UP!! I subscribe so I knew when this article first came out and waited and waited and…….nothing!!!
Then I started rethinking, Bethany probally threatened them with a life ban or that God will punish them if they raise this concern to their prophets’ political party(Republican), or better yet Use Big Mike to beat them up. I can’t believe somebody would beat their own like that, THEN THEIR PASTOR BRAGS ABOUT IT! Anytime a pastor can brag about having somebody beaten and his congregation prays for the beaten instead of their Pastor who issues beatings…..that’s scarey!! And I saw one of Joel’s disciple’s said the man had to get beat because he “approached” Joel while upset, so the beating is justified!!
—–Beatings, Failed Prophecies, Broken Pledges, Double Standards, and supporting racist political organizations; that’s not normal for congregation? Hmmmm, according to the disciples there it is; We’re the ones that are demonic because we don’t win disciples and send them through that process, LoL! Instead we give them a Biblical Jesus. But hey, they also say no Church is perfect so it’s o.k. for your pastor to brag about beating someone but preach against violence but then brag about attending a violent movie. According to them, that’s normal behavior for a Pastor. As a result, they go out and “win more souls” for The Stockstills.
It’s funny how I constantly see nothing but Stockstill’s traveling abroad nationally and internationally but the other ministers are stuck on “The Property” at North,LoL. That’s sad, they have to make sacrifices while the Stockstill’s see the world! Even Melissa is reaping the benefits by going to Asia, all she did was play the harp…. SAD
O,
Just like the election, you couldn’t tell Monday was an important day(MLK Day)if you look at the Stockstills blogs.
———————OVADYAH RESPONDS———————————————-
I already know what their defense will be, “Our annointed prophet prayed for MLK in his prayer closet”. Prayer always seem to be a cop-out for being pro-active in their cult.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was
great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
