Via Thaddeus Matthews:

Bishop Edward Stephens after finishing his morning sermon on Sunday told his members not to listen to my radio program concerning preachers who fleece their flocks, and then told the members that on the second Sunday in February the church will be celebrating its anniversary and he wants them to make a sacrifice offering of their whole salary for that week.

Sources within the church who listen everyday to my show state that members just looked at each other without the usual “Amen Bishop” shouts. Some members wonder how in these hard financial times their pastor could ask them to give up a whole weeks pay to the church without telling them what the money is being given for.

While the members of Golden Gate Cathedral a church rumored to have been built with money from jailed drug dealer Skinny Pimp [The devil is a lie. - - Fresh] will miss paying bills if they are stupid enough to follow their pastor’s wishes, Stephens will not be reduced to giving up his very lavish lifestyle which has been provided him by the members he’s trying to fleece.

Stephens drives a Bentley and lives in a $1,207,500 home located at 973 E. Timberlake Dr. And owns another home at 9386 Forest Station in Collierville valued at $566,000. Hopefully the members of Golden Gate will take the shears out of the hands of this pulpit pimp who has clearly fleeced them. By the way he passed out a form ( which I will post tonight after I received it from one of his members) asking them if they would like to have a ATM machine placed in the lobby.
