WELL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IT’S TIME TO BE SHOCKED AGAIN BY THE CULT OF BETHANY WORLD PRAYER CENTER, PLEASE PRAY FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO BLIND GUIDES LEADING OUR CHILDREN INTO DITCHES!
“Jesus Said DON’T WORRY AboutJustice, Mercy, And Faith(30:23) if you ain’t even learn to tithe”, Joel Stockstill.
Joel’s latest sermon has confirmed that his Black Remnant is either illiterate or or place Joel Stockstill in a holier place than their Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. Joel Stockstill has received complaints that Christ Jesus didn’t command us to tithe. After assuring his Black Remnant the answer is “YES”, Joel asks for Matthew 23:23 to be placed on the big screen. I’ll use the EXACT SAME english version of the greek text that Joel used to quote from.
(Please note: Please read it carefully and slowly and allow the context of the oppressive nature of the Pharisees and Lawyers on the poor that Christ constantly chastised their group for. Also cross reference other situations where Christ rebuked the leaders like Joel for burdening the people with unmerciful demands instead of helping them; Here it is:
23 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, but YOU IGNORE THE IMPORTANT THINGS OF THE LAW– justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things(Mt.23:23, NLT).
Now Joel’s Version”(Minutes 30:16-26). He’s saying DON’T WORRYABOUT JUSTICE, MERCY, AND FAITH(30:23) IF you ain’t even learned to tithe”
Joel’s version of Jesus claims that Christ IS NOT CONCERNED about:
JUSTICE-The principle or ideal of just dealing and right action
MERCY- Compassion or a blessing that is an act of divine favor
FAITH– Complete trust.
This is Amazing!! Right before their very eyes, Joel misquotes Scripture to prove to them Jesus stated that TITHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN JUSTICE, MERCY, AND FAITH! Poor Christ and His true words.
Leaven and Burdens of The Pharisees:
Christ condemns the Pharisees in Joel’s proof-text because they not only required the tithe BUT REQUIRED TITHES ON OTHER agriculture NOT LISTED in God’s law. The (U)nited (B)ible (S)ocieties’ (T)ranslators (H)andbook informs potential translators:
[Page 716] According to Deuteronomy 14.23, grain, wine, and olive oil were required to be tithed, though there is no mention of the requirement to tithe seasoning herbs such as mint and dill and cummin. It is possible though that this regulation was imposed by the Pharisaic interpretation of the Law.Newman, B. M., & Stine, P. C. (1992). A handbook on the Gospel of Matthew. Originally published: A translator’s handbook on the Gospel of Matthew, c1988. UBS helps for translators; UBS handbook series (716). New York: United Bible Societies.
Christ warned the crowds ahead of time of these burdens in the EXACT SAME CHAPTER(using Joel’s version of the greek text again)
Mt.23:4 They crush you with impossible religious demands and never lift a finger to help ease the burden.
These Pharisees forced people to give over and beyond what the Bible teaches YET THEY DON’T PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH! Just like The Stockstills who:
Require The Poor To Make Financial Sacrifices BUT THEY TRAVEL ABROAD and SPEND WITHOUT DISCRETION
Require The Poor To Tithe(their version not the bible) money even if they can’t afford it, yet they claim to tithe from the church’s abundance.
Coerce The Poor To Tithe every paycheck not just the first[fruit]
Require the poor to tithe and never question what Bethany is doing with it
Require the poor to tithe even if they flush it down the toilet!
Christ condemned such Pharisaic oppression on the people. Again, the U.B.S. Translators Handbook informs potential translators:
“They bind heavy burdens is a figure that suggests that the way the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees required people to do many difficult things to fulfill the law was like giving them heavy loads to carry. For some the biblical form will be relatively well understood, as in TEV: “They tie onto people’s backs loads that are heavy and hard to carry.” Other translators will use comparisons of some sort; for example, “They force people to obey difficult rulesthat are like burdens on their backs.” Another possibility is to drop the image altogether, as in “They oblige people to do very difficult things” or “They give people many obligations that are difficult to carry out.”TEV Today’s English Version Newman, B. M., & Stine, P. C. (1992). A handbook on the Gospel of Matthew. Originally published: A translator’s handbook on the Gospel of Matthew, c1988. UBS helps for translators; UBS handbook series (703). New York: United Bible Societies.
Joel’s version of Jesus has once again sided with the oppressing Pharisees and Teachers of The Law. The IVP Background To The New Testament agrees with Christ, ” his point is that they should have learned justice, mercy and covenant faithfulness first “(9:13; 12:7Keener, C. S., & InterVarsity Press. (1993). The IVP Bible background commentary : New Testament (Mt 23:23). Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press.”
THE TITHE RE-DEFINED AGAIN!
When was the last time the tithes and offerings were brought from The Stockstills' Storehouse and Sent To God? According to Scripture it should be burnt to send up in smoke! In fact, when has The Stockstill followed ANY OF GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS ON how to consume the tithes, offerigs, sacrifices?
As noted in the first post on Bethany’s version of the tithe, they’ve redefined it to mean ONLY MONEY given weekly and/or monthy. Yet have neglected on what God’s words says about who enjoys the tithes. It’s not the Priest alone! Again, for an exegetical study on the tithe and it’s abuse by televangelist like Joel, read the informative study by Russel Earl Kelley(PhD) at http://www.tithing-russkelly.com/
A final reminder and confirmation that Christ was NOT TEACHING his disciples to neglect Justic, Mercy, and Faith:
Warnings About Experts in the Law(NET VERSION, GOSPEL OF MARK)
12:38 In his teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the experts in the law.They like walking around in long robes and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces, 12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 12:40They devour widows’ property, and as a show make long prayers. These men will receive a more severe punishment.”
12:41 Then he sat down opposite the offering box, and watched the crowd putting coinsinto it. Many rich peoplewere throwing in large amounts. 12:42 And A POOR WIDOW CAME and put in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny. 12:43 He called his disciples and said to them, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the offering box than all the others. 12:44 For they all gave out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in what she had to live on, everything she had.”
Christ is NOT CONGRATULATING THE PHARISEES and LAWYERS for oppressing the poor widow! Christ forewarns his disciples how the Pharisees and Lawyers oppress the poor(Mk.12:38). The term “experts of the law” represented the leaders who were suppose to interpret God’s Word for the people. Yet, out of their greed like JOEL STOCKSTILL“THEY DEVOUR…(v.40)”
Joel forgot the advice Paul gave to the Overseers of The Church,i.e., it’s better to give than receive. These words weren’t addressed to the congregation, THEY WERE TO THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH!
Acts20:28Watch outfor yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son. 20:29 I know that after I am gone fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 20:30 Even from among your own group men will arise, teaching perversions of the truth to draw the disciples away after them. 20:31 Therefore be alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.
20:32 And now I entrust you to God and to the message of his grace. This message is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 20:33I have desired no one’s silver or gold or clothing. 20:34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me. 20:35 By all these things, I have shown you that by working in this way we must help the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
I understand that many of my brothers and sisters are unable to afford the commentaries and other works by the translators who produced our english bible. So I’ll add one more for your benefit to motivate you to conduct your own research:
23:23 “you tithe mint and dill and cummin”
“NT believers must be careful of turning Christianity into a new legal performance oriented code (Christian Talmud). Their desire to be pleasing to God causes them to try to find guidelines for every area of life. However, theologically it is dangerous to pull old covenant rules which are not reaffirmed in the NT and make them dogmatic criteria especially when they are claimed to be causes or promises of prosperity!
In their legalism, they counted even the smallest spices so as to give precisely ten percent to God, but they neglected justice, love, and fidelity. The New Testament does not speak of tithing except here. The heart of New Testament giving is not found in a percentage (cf. II Cor. 8–9)! Utley, R. J. D. (2000). Vol. Volume 9: The First Christian Primer: Matthew. Study Guide Commentary Series. Marshall, Texas: Bible Lessons International.
Larry Stockstill Says He Confidently Refers His Congregation To Organizations He Labled As Family Friendly!! FIRST, VERIFY FOR YOURSELF THEN READ. http://www.wlft.com/content.php?display=family-friendly-links Both of these organizations have a history of racism, yet Larry says nothing to warn his black remnant!
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:
HOW DOES OVADYAH UNCOVER THESE HIDDEN THINGS!! WHERE IS CHICKEN GEORGE?! OVADYAH, CAN YOU JUST STOP AND PRAY LIKE MY GOOD BLACK STOCKSTILLIANS? I'M THE WATCHMAN, I'M THE WATCHMAN...NOT OVADYAH!! I'M ANNOINTED, I'M ANNOINTED!! STOP IT!!
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”.
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 is fighting to save the racist Rush Limbaugh and Fox News
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.
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??!! http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=327
David Duke May Have Failed In Getting Into Office But Larry's Associates Are Constantly Using His Resources. The Hoods Have Been Replaced By Suits
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!! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Hunter
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).
Larry Stockstill continues to have all the right words but all the wrong practice. As more and more people are fleeing from his authority and revealing the scams and coercion tactics of Bethany, he claims to have spoken with a represenative from the Billy Graham Ministry about their success. Lying Larry claims Bethany has ALWAYS followed a particular rule of not speaking against other ministries:
The first and obvious thing we see is the continue promotion of his book “Remnant” not God’s book, the Bible(which is free) but Larry’s Book which he claims is getting these insufficient pastors to finally start “…RESETTING THEIR VALUES”. Lying Larry needs to start with his own house before he attempts to straighten out “THOUSANDS OF PASTORS….”. Both Larry and Joel have provided false prophecies and abuse of the Scriptures to steal money from naive christians.
According to his CBS Interview, Osteen's service is an uninhibited celebration that's part rock concert, part spectacular. THERE ARE NO CROSSES, NO RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS WHATSOEVER. It's all taped and broadcast around the world. His service is seen in 100 foreign countries and is the most watched religious broadcast in America.(Click Here For entire article by CBS News)
Larry made the claim that Bethany “…WOULD NEVER CRITICIZE OTHER LEADERS FROM THE PULPIT.”. However, Joel Stockstill just condemned JOEL OSTEEN’S Church. Anyone familiar with Joel Osteen’s numerous interviews know that their Church is very liberal and does not display crosses or any religious relics or talk about sin, they only “motivate” people AND JOEL CONTRADICTS LARRY BY STATING:
Joel’s criticizing The Osteens because they support Pres. Barack Obama while Joel promoted Sarah Palin/McCain during the campaign. Larry King’s interview has The Osteens stating that Pres. Obama “…DOING A GREAT JOB, LOVES THE LORD, I BELIEVE HE IS A CHRSTIAN“. Joel has yet to make any respectful statement(click here for entire interview with Osteens and Larry Kings):
“Larry King: Since you were last on, we have sworn in our first African-American president. What are your impressions [of Barack Obama]?
Joel Osteen: Well, I think he’s doing a great job. I’m impressed with his skill, his calmness, his just strength under pressure. These are tough times for him.
King: And you, Victoria?
Victoria Osteen: I’ve been really impressed. In fact, I’ve been impressed [with] the first lady. She stepped up, and she’s done a remarkable job.
King: Recent polls show 12 percent of Americans still believe Obama is a Muslim, and 35 percent say they don’t know his religion, but to most of them it don’t matter. Should it matter?
Joel Osteen: Well, it matters to me. It matters to me that I know he loves the Lord, and I think it’s important that he has convictions from his faith. So to me, it matters when I’m making my personal decisions.
King: Does it matter to you, Victoria?
Victoria Osteen: It does. It matters to me. … I believe he is a Christian.”
Instead Joel continues the paranoid statements made by white christians that Pres. Obama is the an agent of the Anti-Christ. This statement has never been made from Bethany until an African-American took office:
“Yes, there is a spirit of anti-Christ that would try to take over our govt and nation, but yet there is still a remnant of righteous men and women who have been placed there strategically by the Holy Spirit.(Click Here)”
Question to those who deify the Stockstills. Who’s the liar? Larry or Joel? THEY JEALOUSY IS ELBOWING PAST THE COMPETITION!! Bethany claims ony 10,000 members and national televised airing while Joel Osteen’s Church has 30,000 and international airing. But Bethany would never speak against another leader, LOL. The Stockstills are annointed, the problem is they’ve used dirty oil. As “Chris P.” commented in the blog “Joel Condemns Michael Jackson”:
“Ummm…Ovadyah you’re wasting your time with “The Remnant’ LOL,
The blacks you see that stayed behind at Bethany are “sell-outs”. The Stockstills could crap in their lap and tell em it’s an annointing and they will believe it. There’s no amount of proof that will open their eyes, I’ve been there. They use your state as a sinner against you anytime you speak against their prophet “status”.
Furthermore, look at the black leaders that remained. They have no soul!! They didn’t attend a (H)istorically (B)lack (C)ollege like Southern University, they don’t hang around blacks, they don’t know black slang, they don’t use black dialect, and they don’t even listen to black gospel music. That is how they were recruited by The Stockstills, they(The Stockstills) saw these negroes at L.S.U. and loved their “good-ole boy” demeanor and that will be the closest thing to a black minister.
I say all of that to say this. I understand your expose’ but blacks like the above will refuse to even look this way because the Stockstills have convinced them that God will punish any contesting. So, those of us who left enjoy your stance but the remnant that was bullied into staying, WILL STAY NO MATTER WHAT. You’re wasting your time trying to get them to think apart from what the Stockstills are telling them.
****IMPORTANT****DO NOT CONFRONT THE SO-CALLED “PROPHETS” AT BETHANY ANYMORE!! JOEL ADMITTED TO USING VIOLENCE(HERE) TO SUPPRESS CONFRONTATIONS! HE EVEN LAUGHED AT THE “BEATDOWN”SIMPLY TAKE YOUR FAMILY BY THE HAND AND FLEE TO SAFETY!! AGAIN DO NOT CONFRONT THEM********
GET BACK IN YOUR SEAT BOY!!
In part one(CLICK HERE), we applied the exact same double-standard to Joel Stockstill’s wife and the defendants cried foul. Why? Their claim was the same, Joel is above God’s Law, we’re aren’t to condemn whites(one standard for blacks another less critical for whites).
This hypocrisy is made evident by Joel Stockstill’s own admission! Remember the harsh standard he applied to M.J.? Well, HE DIDN’T APPLY IT TO HIS ALL WHITE BAND(HERE, called MUTEMATH)!! In fact, he admits that this all white rock-and-roll band is addicting to listen to. In his twitter entry on SEPT. 04, 2009 he states(click here):
“ok, im not big on any music that isn’t worship but the new Mutemath cd rocks! cant get enough!”10:38 PM Sep 4th from web
Wow….!! What a double standard! As his history clearly shows, if people in his black congregation start complaining, one or two things will happen when they confront him:
He, like his daddy Lying Larry, will quickly point out their “disclaimer”
Those who attend this cult where beatings are issued to anyone who contests Bethany’s Prophets please take my advice. DON’T CONFRONT THEM ANYMORE!! SIMPLY TAKE YOUR FAMILY AND LEAVE!! AGAIN DON’T CONFRONT THEM!! YOU’RE IN DANGER!!
Now, back to The Stockstill’s second damage-control tactic. Joel always places small disclaimers in his statements:
politicians do the same to re-direct money in their pockets
used car salesmen place them in their contracts to get you stuck with a clunker
cellphone companies do the same to hit you with extra charges
These “as seen on T.V.” pitch-men use disclaimers to push their faulty products
Insurance companies use disclaimers to deny coverage after you’ve paid for years
IT’S A SCAM!! Joel’s disclaimer above will certainly be used as a disclaimer to those who see his JIM CROW STANDARD. Joel Stockstill stated, “OKAY, I’M NOT BIG ON MUSIC THAT ISN’T WORSHIP BUT…..”. Don’t fall for it, he totally cancels that disclaimer by the conjunction “BUT…”. He clearly used a double standard for this all white band.
If he used his white-standard on Michael Jackson nobody would’ve had a problem BUT just like he did with Palin/McCain during the campaigns, whites are always right according to his grading curve but blacks have to be perfect!!
This all white band that Joel finds addicting admits THEY CALL RELIGIONS LIKE CHRISTIANITY A “BARRIER” to music YET Joel Called them “CAN’T GET ENOUGH(click here)”:
For us, we just try to keep it simple. We’re obviously a band; that’s really all we ever wanted to be from the very beginning without catering to any particular genre or political or religious agenda. We just want to make music with no barriers.
On top of this, MUTEMATH SUED TIME WARNER FOR PUTTING THEM IN A CHISTIAN CATEGORY!! This rock band that Bethany’s Prophet finds “addicting” hates Christ so much they actually sued their parent company for marketing them as such!! Now that’s hate for Christ that should be exposed! BUT JOEL TURNS A BLIND EYE AGAIN TO HIS WHITE BROTHERS!! This white rock band said identifying them with Christ “HURT ITS IMAGE”, LOL, and y’all call Joel annointed??!!
Didn’t your self-proclaimed prophet just rebuke those who indulge in activities where Christ is not present? Did he not just condemn a black musician but later praise these white rock-and-roll musicians??!! This band admitted in the Boise Weekly that if they catered to a religion like Christianity it would be a “BARRIER”. Why is Joel praising this band and not “speaking the truth” as a man of God? The sell-outs at Bethany claim that Joel Stockstill is an annointed Prophet who speaks the truth, yet we continue to see he does so with a DOUBLE STANDARD. White rock-n-roll is praised while blacks like Michael Jackson are shredded to pieces. You wanna see blacks in modern day slavery who know their place? Go to Bethany, LOL. They know what will happen if they step out of line, again, in Joel’s own words “Can you say Big Mike….Beatdown!”.
Say Massa Joel Is Annointed Boy....Say It!! Say It!! He's Good White Folks!! Say It!!
y’all continue to swallow this poison and stay in your place or else….BIG MIKE will put you there!
Joel Stockstill has went from failed prophecies to Big-Pimpin’ in a short time. As the blacks under this kid’s authority continue to make sacrifices to Larry Stockstill’s 20/20 Vision program, Joel contiues to use their donations for material gain$. After receiving a fully loaded Honda four-wheeler his new toy is a black Cadillac Escalade with 22″ rims:
Bethany's Prophet Joel Continues to contradict what he preaches about material possessions and defy his father's call to make financial sacrifices to Bethany's 20/20 Vision program. It shouldn't be of a suprise since Larry Stockstill doesn't even obey his own 20/20 Vision program. Who believes it? The gullible congregants who continue to make sacrifices, LOL!! http://www.yfrog.com/froggy.php?username=hippofloat
Notice in their prophet’s Twitter entry, he doesn’t call on the “Body of Christ” to lust over his worldly possessions but calls on the only entity that desires such material wealth, “WORLD look at my new lade….”. I had no idea that donations to a Not-For-Profit organization such as Bethany.com could spend such donations on Personal-Enrichment?! He even does a play on words about not lacking anything in HIS HOUSE or HIS GARAGE,LOL!! I CAN’T BELIEVE HIS BLATANT DISREGARD AND THE BLINDNESS OF HIS CONGREGANTS WHO CONTINUE “GIVING OVER AND BEYOND”. Yes, I”m laughing at y’all!!
World take a look at my new ‘Lade. She’s sittin on 22″ & black as night. Nolack2 in the house (or garage) twitter link
Has anyone at Bethany, especially the Stockstillians who write in here, called Joel on this hypocrisy? Or has the double standard been applied once again?
THE OTHER CHILDREN IN MAC’ HEAVEN??!!
Yep, while your kids in Baker can barely afford a computer their children all have their own Macintosh Laptops. Anyone familiar with technology will immediately know those laptops are the more expensive ones on the market. Again, why are you told to make sacrifices while they endulge in self enrichment??!!
Please Continue To Give $$$$ Our Kids Need More than yours!! Your Blessing Is Coming!! Ummm, oh yeah, THIS IS THE YEAR OF BREAKTHROUGH, have more faith. What's Larry's other one? Oh yeah, Your money is cursed, give more to "Reverse The Curse" http://www.yfrog.com/froggy.php?username=hippofloat
Now from the man himself, Larry The Lying Stockstill, who instructs his followers to make sacrifices by postponing trips has recently announced:
It’s okay if The Stockstills’ lifestyle contradict their preaching! According to the Stockstillians who obey “The Stockstills Are Annointed!!”.
I'm annointed and divinely appointed; when you go broke don't be disappointed. Your money is cursed and needs to be reversed; by giving all to me your annointing will burst. I know it's been a while and you gotta hungry child who is sick with diarhea, I can't help you now I'm chillin' in Korea, LOL.
I’ve also noticed the Stockstills are rarely in Baton Rouge during the weekday. I’ve been informed by those who decided to leave that after the Presidential Election, Joel and Larry have been very hard to reach to address their concerns BUT LO’ AND BEHOLD they pop up in time to collect offerings on Sunday??!! During the weekday they leave their house negro to “beat down” (as Joel puts it) anyone disturbing the waters.
Joel Stockstill(Head Youth Pastor) has exposed his ultimate hypocrisy and status as a false man of God. As very well documented, he goes around condemning people for their actions and getting deified by those under his authority as “a true prophet of God, a man of God, etc.”. How can this be when he admits to spending God’s money to watch a movie filled with “violence….mayhem….profanity“?
Many sites that review motion pictures are upset at how Hasbro Toy Co.(targeting children) have corrupted this cartoon into a very violent fim. HOWEVER, Joel Stockstill doesn’t(Like Frame By Frame.com) rebuke such entertainment. The further silence to such hypocrisy of their prophet is obvious, “IF JOEL LIKES IT, WE LOVE IT!! HE’S DA BOSS!“. Do the youth of Baton Rouge not look up to their Youth Pastor for guidance and fruit of maturity and godliness, WHERE IS JESUS, JOEL? Practice what you preach. You condemn violence in your blogs but not in practice.
Parents need to know that this relentless action adventure inspired by the '80s cartoon/toy line is filled with extreme (albeit minimally bloody/gory) violence. Kids will want to see it because they're the ones who play with the toys, but there's no end to the parade of characters who are slashed, stabbed, shot, or dispatched in various other ways (it's important to note that, unlike in the similarly inspired Transformers movies, most of the victims here are people, not machines). There's also a lot of potentially scary medical imagery -- needles, scalpels, painful-looking procedures, and more -- and some intermittent strong language (including "s--t"). And Hasbro, the company that makes G.I. Joe toys, co-produced the movie -- meaning that the story doesn't contain product placement so much as the product placement contains a story.(THIS REVIEW WAS BY COMMONSENSE MEDIA@ http://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/gi-joe-rise-cobra
Joel Stockstill(A Youth Pastor at Bethany.com) in his twitter entry praised the violent G.I. Joe Movie as “HIGHLY ENTERTAINING” and “FUN“! This movie has been labed as “TOO VIOLENT” for our children. Even by the world’s standards it’s described as:
Questions for those who continue to deify this hypocrite:
Why does the world have more godly standards than your prophet? Joel calls it “HIGHLY ENTERTAINING” and “FUN“but the movie rating system calls is “STRONG ACTION VIOLENCE AND MAYHEM THROUGHOUT”.
Why isn’t he being rebuked for praising such worldly and violent films?
Furthermore, Joel’s own words convict him as a hypocrite in his blog “Where Is Jesus?”. In it Joel is rebuking carnal christians and rebukes those who display violent characters in sports and shames those who even have “…a bad temper on the golf course”. YOU HYPOCRITE!! First take the plank out your own eye!! What about giving God’s money to go see a film too violent for the majority of youth under your authority. If 13year olds and under couldn’t even get in, WHAT ARE YOU DOINT THERE??!! His own words convict him:
“His precious Word is being manipulated and torn apart to fit what itching ears want to hear and what scintillates the crowds.”
AND
“No longer are the fruit of the Spirit valued. (Anyone with a bad temper on the golf course is now deemed “competitive” and not simply carnal and lacking self-control.) No longer do leaders allow the gifts of the Spirit to operate in the gathering of believers on Sunday morning for fear of making some poor visitor uneasy. (most have no need to disallow because they couldn’t move in the gifts if their life depended on it!) No longer is seeking the Lord Jesus for His direction and heart something required to lead a church. With creative teams and multimedia presentations becoming our only focus there is no room left for the direction of the One we used to know as Master.”
You hypocrite and snake! Not only does that describe BEthany in general but Joel in particular! Joel has aligned himself with those he condemened. Even a liberal christian(who Joel rebukes constantly) site who recommends it for older crowds, WARNS:
“The biggest problem, for the younger kids, is the film is too violent and complicated to be a PG-13.(Click here)”
What Will Our Youth Think When Their Minister Finds Violence and Worldliness "HIGHLY ENTERTAINING......FUN"?
Yet, this so called youth minister never gave us this warning. Would he show this in church? I’LL ASK YOU THE SAME QUESTION YOU ASKED IN YOUR BLOG……”WHERE IS JESUS?” in this film you found “Highly Entertaining……Fun”??!!
PEACE AND GRACE TO THOSE SAINTS WHO WERE NOT COERCED BY THE FEAR TACTICS OF BETHANY’S PROPHETS
I think we’ve all received the advice that “If you tell one lie, you’ll have to tell another to defend your first”. This is why the researchers that assist Ovadyah’s blog provide references for EVERY CLAIM, unlike the Bethany defendants who provide baseless opinions.
Tell One Lie And You'll Have To Tell Another To Cover Up The First. Bethany's Prophets (Lawrence Dean Stockstill and Joel Stockstill) Need To Simply Repent And Move On. Now that Two Contradicting Reasons For Bethany's Prophet Joel Stockstill's Travel To West Palm Beach Will Do Nothing But Create An Upcoming Third Lie. The Medical Center Will Inform Anyone Who Calls That They Turned Away NOBODY!! AND WAS UP AND RUNNING IMMEDIATELY AFTER GUSTAV.
The reasons for Joel Stockstill’s traveling to West Palm Beach have been evolving or I should say snowballing. The first lie was put forth by Joel’s minister, Jordan Jopling CLICK HERE, who claimed the center was closed and Joel had no choice but to seek dialysis for his diseased body in one of the wealthiest vacation spots in the U.S.A.
However, anyone watching the news was informed that such clinics and the hospitals were immediately restored (which even the staff will inform you).
Now, an anonymous poster with the email guitarboy@aol.com states that Joel had to travel way to West Palm Beach because Joel was turned away for treatment and the doctors were busy with other patients(CLICK HERE). The first red flag was this person calling them “DOCTORS” they aren’t doctors at the treatment center they are “NURSES”, LOL, some are RN some LPN’s.
Second, to claim the center turned Joel Stockstill away because they were busy with other patients is CRIMINAL. Also, let’s say the News, the staff at the treatment center, and my family member lied and Joel is the only one correct. That still doesn’t explain why he traveled way to West Palm Beach. He had other parishes within the state itself, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, and the Pan Handle of Florida. He frequents the controversial Brownesville Revival in Pensacola, surely he knows the area.
The point: stop lying! You’ll only have to create more and more lies to cover up the first one. The new claim that Joel Stockstill was turned away because the doctors were busy is a slap in the face to any half intelligent human being. Then again, if Bethany’s other Prophet, LAWRENCE DEAN STOCKSTILL, could use fear tactics to coerce millions from poor blacks to invest in his predominately White South Campus and it’s area, they’ll believe this new lie, eventhough it contradicts their first lie.
PEACE AND GRACE BE UPON THE DISCERNING ONES WHO ESCAPED THE CULT OF BETHANY.COM
This self proclaimed prophet condemned Michael Jackson To Hell With No Mercy; Even mocking Michael's dead body!
I’ll have to say that Joel Stockstill has finally shocked me! My soul and spirit was just floored at his post. I actually held back the tears to type this response to such an unmerciful and punitive false prophet like Joel Stockstill. He obviously has some sick joy in condemning Michael to hell. I’ll post Joel’s sick and twisted statements in bold and respond under neath. JOEL MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!! I sincerely pray for YOU! You’re treading on dangerous grounds by condemning people to hell! It’s one thing to make yourself a prophet but a whole heresy to place yourelf in GOD’s judgement seat, telling us who is in hell.
Joel fails to realise that Michael Jackson was FORCED to grow up. He had no child hood. He was taught during his childhood years to ISOLATE HIMSELF from others. IT WASN’T A CHOICE! Upon reaching adulthood, he only continued what he was taught, ISOLATION. In interview after interview you can hear Michael stating he wished he could be LIKE OTHER KIDS. This obviously effected his self esteem and mental state. On top of all of this, people sought to extort monies from this mealticket. As a result, he turned to narcotics while folks like Bethany’s Prophet Joel Stockstill continued mocking him, EVEN IN DEATH! I don’t know who to feel sorry for Bethany’ so called Prophet Joel or M.J.
Upon being asked which song reveals the true Michael Jackson, he(M.J.) replied “The most honest song I’ve ever written is called CHILDHOOD(click here for lyrics), here is a concise quote on Michael’s painful honesty:
“Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I’m strange that way
‘Cause I love such elementary things,
It’s been my fate to compensate,
for the Childhood I’ve never known…
Have you seen my Childhood?
I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly…
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I’ve had
Have you seen my Childhood…”
Michael Jackson Robbed Of His Childhood and Extorted By Friends As An Adult. Mocked In Death By God's Preachers! Father Have Mercy On His Body & Soul. To All of Those who Tortured This Man And Continue To Mock Him, Forgive Them Too!
(MY PRAYER)Dear God who renders a righteous judgement. PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON MICHAEL’S SOUL, he was robbed of his childhood and only taught isolation. Hear his cry and pain, hear my plea, forgive those who mock him and enjoy laughing at his tortured body. The priests in your house, dear God, has lost all their senses. They mock the downtrodden and have become superstars. Lying to your sheep and leading them astray. Stealing their money and perverting your Holy Scriptures. Likewise, have mercy on their souls. AMEN. Here is Joel’s whole blog(click here):
“Nothing could more picture the enemies desire to use someone for his evil purposes and then chew them up and spit them out (straight into hell) like the recent passing of superstar and world-known Michael Jackson.”
Joel, if we hold you TO THE SAME STANDARD you hold Michael Jackon to, would it not be logical that “nothing could picture the enemies desire to use someone for his evil purpose and then chew them up and spit them out STRAIGHT INTO HELL” like the passing of your wife Amy Stockstill due to your failed prophecy that Christ would heal her?!Who chewed up and spit out your wife?!
Furthermore, who gave you the authority to condemn Michael Jackson to hell?! Have you created another double standard or is this for those outside of your cult? Remember the THIEF ON THE CROSS WITH CHRIST? Surely in our eyes, he was condemened by GOD AND WENT STRAIGHT TO HELL. But thanks to the Gospels we know at the last minute on an EXECUTION STAKE, Christ forgave him and the condemened was saved and entered PARADISE(Lk. 23:43)!! Yet, you have some sick and twisted joy at condemnation. Even when time for repentance was down to a minimum and he practiced sin his whole life, Christ informed:
43 “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Next you stated:
“His bald, sickly frame was resting in a coffin and the world tried to regurgitate some good memories about this fallen star and yet without some supernatural intervention not known by the world he has entered the place of torment for the beginning of forever.”
The world wasn’t trying to “REGURGITATE SOME GOOD MEMORIES”, they were being respectful, merciful, and Christ-like! For you to demean this hurting man as:
Bald
Sickly
Fallen
He ha entered the place of torment
Who made you judge of the dead? To all those who remain silent at Bethany, SHAME ON YOU!! You wrote in here at Ovadyah and was quick to condemn me for exposing Joel’s failed prophecy that Christ would heal Amy Stockstill, yet you say nothing about the disrespect for Michael Jackson.
Joel claims that because there was no known “supernatural intervention” Michael Jackson entered “the place of torment”. IS THIS HIS DOUBLE STANDARD FOR BLACKS AGAIN??!!
LET’S APPLY THIS EXACT SAME STANDARD TO HIS DEAD WIFE, AMY STOCKSTILL!! Wouldn’t this be fair? Is Joel such a holy prophet in your eyes that he is really untouchable? You should be scared and afraid to be under such leadership! Let’ look at Joel’s BODY! Who is he to describe ANY PERSON AS SICKLY??!! If you want to mock ANYONE Joel, just look in the mirror. How would you like it if someone looked into Amy’s coffin and laughed at her bucked up teeth and big ears??!! You would’ve condemned them to hell like Michael.
Let's Place Joel's Standard of No Divine Intervention To Amy Stockstill's DEATH BY DISEASE!! Why Is Larry Stockstill Constantly Letting This Clown Stand In God's Judgement Seat?.
Look at how he squeezes in “Britney Spears”. I guess this is the proof that he doesn’t have a doulbe standard for Blacks. Ridiculous!! If he wanted to mock anyone, he should have LOOKED AT HIS OWN SICKLY BODY! As M.J. said, “start with the man in the mirror”. He doesn’t degrade Britney Spears, he merely mentions her name. He did the same with his annointed Sarah Palin. Anyone see the double standards, one for blacks(Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson) and another for whites (Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, Bristol Palin, Oral Roberts)? Bristol Palin did the same thing as Britney Spears BUT JOEL NEVER MENTIONED IT DURING THE ELECTION!!
I agree Michael has “questionable” actions but I REFUSE to put myself in GOD’S JUDGMENT SEAT usurping God’s grace and righteous judgement. Joel YOUR SICKLY BODY and DEAD WIFE should remind you of that !! The most disturbing statements came from the kids giving their Cult Leader nothing but “Amens!” and “Right On” when Joel condemned Michael to hell. He’s turned them into hate mongers with double standards. Bristol Palin never repented during the election for having a teen pregnancy out of wedlock, so why didn’t Joel condemn her??!!
I only read two Comments (From Blake and Amber) that spoke in favor of M.J. and warned everyone of pre-judging without knowing the last moments or mental condition of M.J. However these two folks who spoke out will most likely remain under the authority of Joel. It just amazes me how they tolerate his mockery of Christianity. If not let me know, it’s rare.
DAMAGE CONTROL, THRILLER PT.2:
Joel quickly wrote another post after condeming Michael Jackson to hell and eternal torment. Joel Stockstill has no sense of humility. Instead of repenting for clearly doing the wrong thing by condemning Michael Jackson to hell, he rewrites in Part2 that he only stated Michael “POSSIBLY” entered hell,THIS IS A PURE LIE!! Joel clearly wrote that Michael Jackson “…HAS ENTERED THE PLACE OF TORMENT FOR THE BEGINNING OF FOREVER”. He doesn’t say Michael “POSSIBLY” entered hell but “he has entered….”. What type of Character and role model for our children? What a hypocrite and a liar!!
He even mocks those who defended M.J. He made an attempt to prove he initially blogged that M.J. only “possibly” entered hell by quoting his statement(found in Thriller Pt.1):
“yet without some supernatural intervention not known by the world”
Joel, if anyone believes the fragment you provided is proof that you meant Michael “possibly” entered hell qualifies as gullible and blind. You completed the above fragment with “HE HAS ENTERED THE PLACE OF TORMENT….”. Are your subjects really that naive?! Are they going to believe this? Why do they ignore the warning signs of this cult? He even mocks those call him “mean ol’ joel” by stating, “THAT HAS A NICE RING TO IT DOESN’T IT?”. Parents did you hear that?! He loves the label!!
If anyone studies cults, you’ll find one thing they all have in common with Bethany. Warning signs they should leave BUT ARE TOO INTIMIDATED OR NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO LEAVE.
Joel claims that being under “suspicion” makess you guilty and with that Joel is supposedly taught by Christ this allows us to condemn people to hell. INSANE!! SUSPICION IS NOT PROOF. Can we condemn YOU TO HELL for being a false prophet?? Can we condemn Amy To hell for not speaking out against the unbiblical rituals Bethany practices(Benny Hinn’ Slain In The Spirit, babbling called tongues), Can we condemn you to hell for abandonding Baton Rouge after Gustav for shopping sprees? Can we condemn Larry Stocktill to hell for lying to the congregation that he would make the biggest sacrifices during the 20/20 vision and is constantly on vacation? Did you practice fruits of righteousnesss by lying via Jordan Jopling that you went to West Palm Beach For Dialysis only?
IF YOU CAN CONDEMN M.J. TO HELL FOR SUSPICIONS SURELY WE CAN CONDEMN YOU TO HELL FOR STRONG EVIDENCE? Or does your rules only apply to blacks?
One thing history tells us is that many Christians from the Bible to modern times were killed UNDER SUSPICIONS by the governing authorities? According Joel’s standards this was enough to condemn them to hell. I would hate to see you sit in a jury. According to your standards, YOU SHOULD HAVE WEEKEND VISISTS TO HELL! Surely the thief on the cross led a horrible and unfruitful life yet AGAIN, in his last breath he was saved. WHY NOT FOCUS ON THAT?
Let’s focus on your unfruitfulness!!
FAILED PROPHECIES
ABANDONING B.R. FOR SHOPPING SPREES AFTER GUSTAV DESTROYED BATON ROUGE
QUOTING SCRIPTURE OUT OF CONTEXT
CLAIMING TO HER GOD WHEN IN CONTRADICTS SCRIPTURE
HOLDING A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR BLACKS
PRAISING THE GOD OF EASTER(a pagan idol)
ALLOWING JORDAN JOPLING TO LIE FOR YOUR ABSENCE
WHAT ABOUT THE DEATH OF YOUR SICKLY WIFE?
DOULBE STANDARDS, ONE FOR BLACKS AND ONE FOR WHITES
According to your standard Joel, YOU’RE OFF TO HELL!! Where does Joel get his information that he spreads to Bethany? The same anti-minority news channel he quoted during the election, FOX NEWS NETWORK! He’s emulating Republican Rep. King who called Michael Jackson “A PERVERT” due to suspicion only. Rep. King stated “there’s nothing good about this person”. click here for latest.
In part one, of Larry The Lying Stockstill, we made it clear that Larry Stockstill had lied once again. He made the promise that he will repent from his past ways and teachings and RETURN to simplicity and the Bible. Larry further promised that he and his wife would join their congregation if their congregation would make financial and recreational sacrifices in order to donate to his capital campaign. Larry Stockstill and his family have broken these promises as noted in Part one. They’re constantly out of the country on trips, attending the best universities(the most recent is his son Jared Stockstill attending the Univeristy in West Palm Beach), and Joel and his brothers were treated to floor seats at the San Antonio Vs. Lakers game(along with a fully loaded Honda Four Wheeler, Round Trip Airfare, Authentic Kobe Brant Jersey). How was all of that making sacrifices. They’re clearly breaking their vows and dipping into donations for personal enrichment!
This Grandma Has Gave All Her Life Without Obtaining The Promised Lifestyle And Travels The Televangelist Promised. The Only Fruit She's Seen Was The Televangelists Family Members Traveling and Attending The Best Schools. The Eldery Are The Usual Victims of These Scare Tatics That They Have A Curse On Their Income And Must "Reverse The Curse" By Giving more.
NOW PART TWO. Larry Stockstill has lied further about repenting from preaching his propserity gospel and returning to simplicity. In his latest sermon outline titled “OUTLINE 1, BREAKTHROUGH TO BLESSING (PART 5) #2”. He continues the scare tactics that the millionare televangelist withing the Prosperity Gospel Charismatic Movement use to coerce the humble to give through fear!! He declares by using 2Kings 2:19-22 as his proof text:
First, according Larry’s eisegesis, he is reaping what he has sowed! It has been shown that Larry Stockstill AND his family have broken their pledge and vows to make sacrifices with their congregation in the program of deception called 20/20 Vision. THE CONGREGATION IS DOING THE RIGHT THING BY NOT DONATING TO HIS ACCOUNT. Why? Because The Stockstills have proving not to be good stewards of “God’s Money”(as if he really needs it). So The Stockstills need to practice what they preach. They are leaders who’s finances have been cursed because they aren’t being good stewards.
Second, the bible says that we aren’t to support God’s stewards by intimidation and coercion as the crooked Stewards of God’s Temple did in the First Century while Christ dwelt among his people.
2Cor. 9:7- Each one must do as he purposed in his heart, not grudgingly, OR UNDER COMPULSION, for God loves a cheerful giver.
It’s a shame that elsewhere he quotes 2Cor.9:7 when the money was coming in BUT when the cashflow stopped coming in, he drops this verse and tells those in hard times they ARE UNDER A CURSE and NEED TO PAY MORE TO REVERSE THE CURSE, LOL!! What hypocrisy! Christ has taken away all curses. Amen. To tell any born again Christian if he doesn’t continue to give over and beyond or EVEN TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO GIVE 10% OF THEIR SALARY NO MATTER WHAT IS A LIE!! As Paul stated, “each one must do as he purposed in his heart….”. It’s up to the individual to give as he sees fit NOT A TELEVANGELIST who’s family is the only one benefitting. Larry Stockstill you do not set the standard, Shame On You for coercing God’s flock. Woe to you Bethany (House of Poverty).
Third, Larry used 2Kings 2:19-22 to support his scare tactic that your money is cursed if you don’t continue to give to him because He’s the good steward of God’s Money, LOL and “Salt was the original method used to purify a wound, and it represents repentance and grace”. Since Larry Stockstill has been proven a liar and vow breaker let’s contest this greedy pastor’s eisegesis and see if what he claims is true. The verses he quoted to scare people into giving him money has nothing to do with giving YOUR MONEY TO A BAD STEWARD.
Furthermore, it has nothing to do with money. Christ took away all curses from us. To suggest that Christians can be cursed, is the same as saying they are not saved. Some important notes:
We can not purchase redemption from a curse with money, all is atoned with Christ sacrifice not Mammon
We are not to give fiancial support to poor stewards
We are not to give under coercion or compulsion or scare tactics
If the Stockstills broke their vows to make financial and recreational sacrifices THEY ARE UNDER A CURSE ACCORDING TO WHAT LARRY STOCKSTILL PREACHES THEY HAVE ALLOWED SATAN TO ENTER THEIR FIANCES
You know the more I read his sermons and the more people get scared and continue to obey Larry Stockstill’s 20/20 vision by, IT’S HARD TO FEEL SORRY FOR THEM. Yet, we need to keep our hearts soft. Once people have been brainwashed into a cult like this and give away their belongings in order to purchase redemption from curses, their family suffers because of course things will go from bad to worse.
Larry Stockstill, shouldn’t be threatening his congregation with SATAN’S CURSES in these times. Anyone watching the news, knows these times are hard. Larry practice what you preach and have a heart.
PEACE AND GRACE TO YOU IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS WHO WARNS US OF WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING
I told you in a previous blog (Larry Stockstill’s Indirect Repentance) that only time will tell if Larry was sincere about his repentance. I’m sure you’ve all heard his sermons about true repentance. It’s about turning the other way and doing the right thing. I’m sad to say Larry Stockstill is a thief and con-artist, an oppurtunist. He pledged that he and his wife Melanie Stockstill would make sacrifices with their congregation if the congregation pledged into his 20/20 vision program by not just paying tithes but by making additional sacrifices like:
Surrendering family heirlooms to the Stockstills
Signing over your homes to the Stockstills
Working Part time jobs and give him your checks
Give more than 10% out of your paychecks
Hand over any pay raises to him
Melanie And I Pledge To Make Sacrifices If You Sacrifice According To My 20/20 Vision, Did I Tell You About My New Book "Law$ of Increa$e"?
It’s going to take tremendous sacrifice and teamwork to achieve our 20/20 Vision. Melanie and I are prepared to make the greatest commitment to Bethany we have ever made.(exact pledge of Melanie and Larry Stockstill)
Again, if the congregation agreed to hand over their additional monies and property and make sacrifices like cancelling trips and vacations, he promised he would do the same. However, Larry Stockstill lied to the people and does nothing but takes trips to Europe and monopolize real estate in Baton Rouge, put his kids through the best colleges, and allow them to travel Europe as well. ABSOLUTELY NO SACRIFICES, PURE LIES TO GET THE PEOPLES’ MONEY, JUST AS ORAL ROBERTS AND THE REST OF THE CORRUPT CHARISMATIC TELEVANGELIST DO!! As we seen with Al Sharpton and the local Black Churches in North Iberville, unlike Bethany these small churches still fight for civil rights while The Stockstills talk the talk.
For those who need a refresher, despite the thousands that attend Bethany and keep calling it a “non-denominational church” it’s part of the Charismatic(CLICK HERE) Third Wave move ment. Lying Larry even graduated from the dubious Oral Roberts University that was filled with misappropiation of funds, lawsuits, and founded by a lying prophet Oral Roberts(claimed God would kill him if he didn’t receive more money to build a cancer institute which later went bankrupt, LOL).
Lying Larry followed his denominations corruption with the Prosperity Gospel movement which preached that Godliness is a means to financial gain(1Tim.6:5). As a result, Larry produced his book The Laws of Increase which promises if you follow these laws you’ll get your increase. This man of greed didn’t stop there, after selling his radio station and received $3.2 million, he wanted more and coerced his congregation into making pledges as outlined in his 20/20 Vision Plan.
One of the basic pledges was to cancel trips. I know of many who did and are still doing that while Larry and HIS KIDS travel the world and graduate from the best colleges!! While Larry lied about his pledge, the naive congregation continues to obey, RIGHT IN THEY FACE IS THE EVIDENCE!!
Him and his wife not traveling to Greece but “…THROUGH NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN GREECE) and lists all the cities not just city
Philippi
Thessalonica,
Athens,
Corinth,
Sailed to Patmos on the way to Turkey
also a FULL TOUR OF EPHESUS
Miletus,
and finally he brags “All this week we will be in Turkey touring the seven churches of Revelation.”
You know what broke my heart, read the comment posted by Tony Foster on June 8, 2009 at 8:10am.
“I hope one day to be able to do the same and visit those sites. I would love to stand on the shores where Paul and Barnabas launched out on their first missionary journey.”
Eventhough Larry Stockstill Has A Bethany Campus In Plaquemine He Didn't Stay And Fight For Our Children. Al Sharpton Had To Show Up From Out of State!! Larry Stockstill Took A Vacation While His Subjects Continue Uphold Their Pledge To Sacrifice Vacations and Other Pleasures. I No Longer Have To Tell My Kids, "Not This Year" Because We Broke Free From Larry's Greed!!
I know of many who are sticking with their 20/20 vision pledge and still paying tithes AND making sacrifices to obey Larry’s Laws of Increase. The people have bought into Larry’s lies hook, line, and sinker!! It’s in plain site and they still can’t see the lies, broken pledges, hypocrisy, robbing of the poor. Why? Because they have been brainwashed that The Stockstills are untouchable prophets of God. LARRY STOCKSTILL CLAIMED IN CHARISMA MAGAZINE THAT GOD SHOWED HIM A VISION OF JUDGEMENT DAY!! YET, LARRY’S ON VACATION TAKING IT EASY!! It was all a scam to promote his book, The Remnant. Every vision from this false prophet just happens at the same time he publishes another book! Wake Up Folks, the world is laughing at you.
Tony Foster, a sincere message to you and yours. As long as you believe and follow Larry Stockstill’s financial pledges you’ll never see the things he gets to see. Your storehouse is being robbed and tossed into the Stockstill Unlimited Funds. He lied to you. He never stuck with his pledge. The Stockstills as a whole have been traveling the world and studying at the best colleges. Our children will never see what their kids experience if we continue to buy into his scams.
As soon as I realized these scams, I’ve been able to:
Give reasonable support to my local church
Take much needed vacations with my family ANNUALLY
Actually pay off bills instead of following the Larry’s way of giving him over and beyond donations with the hopes that God will reward me by paying my bills supernaturally
Have enough save for 3 out 4 of my kids to attend LSU
Larry Stockstill like his son, travels when times are bad. Remember Joel fled Baton Rouge area immediately after Gustav for West Palm Beach for some shopping while everyone else barely had food and electricity. Well, his Daddy fled when Rev. Al Sharpton came into N.Iberville. WBRZ showed black church members praying over the School Board and being arrested. WBRZ showed a murdered victim in the poor city of Baker where Larry lives.
The above travel through Europe isn’t the only broken vow to make sacrifices. If you search his blogs you’ll find him overseas promoting his book and other speaking ventures. Where is the sacrifices he promised to make??!! Where are the sacrifices his kids promised to make??!!
