GUIDESTAR.ORG WEBSITE SUPPOSEDLY PUBLISHING ALL 990 TAX RETURNS 97/98

(NY Times 10.18.99) Charities' tax returns to go on the Web. Detailed tax returns that charities file annually with the federal government are to be posted on the Internet beginning today, giving quick and easy access to comprehensive details on how charities are spending their money.. The scrutiny of all charities, these organizations say, will ultimately bring major changes to the financial practices of the $700 billion charitable world. "We are on the verge of a whole new era of nonprofit accountability," said Arthur W. Schmidt Jr., president of Philanthropic Research, which is posting the so-called information returns, Form 990s, on the Web... Since June, Congress has required all charities to make their 990 returns readily available. The first 140,000 of the 220,000 are available now..
The website claims to have 620,000 organizations in their databank. Strange is that most of TBN's crowd are not listed and if they are their last tax reports were old. In example Hal Lindsey 1992 last report. Morningstar, John Hagee, Bishop T.D.Jakes, Schambach, Copelands are not on the list. TBN lists a film company in the arts. Coral Ridge in Fort Lauderdale did report 1997 $27,300,831.00 income and $11,922.157.00 in assets.
The website is asking people to donate and volunteer time to the various organizations through them. They plan to become more elaborate and describe the various organizations, how the money is spent and provide links. Fox News is beginning to roast people who are slothful with the public's money. They plan to change the donation landscape. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not listed but all the individual Reorganized LDS organizations are. I doubt that the website knew what they were getting into because many charitable groups simply are not required to file or are profit-making and the membership hasno clue.

JEREMIAH FILMS SUED FOR $16 MILLION


(jeremiahfilms.com - October 1999) What has been overlooked in all the newsletters we receive is Jeremiah Film's recent legal battles. Jeremiah Films was very instrumental in getting films out about cults, social and government issues. They filmed the Clinton Chronicles and the Foster "suicide" expose'. Their website is in existence and they still sell their videos. They published what happened at the Little Rock, Arkansas Court involving them and Citizens of Honest Government. .
Two members of the Police Department in the Little Rock, Arkansas's political machine sued Pat Matrisciana, (the producer of the Clinton Chronicles) and Citizens for Honest Government. Citizens for Honest Government had asked Jeremiah Films to produce the Clinton Chronicles and others. The reason they filmed the videos was obstruction of Justice. The plaintiffs, claiming that they had been defamed in the lawsuit, obtained judgment of nearly $600,000, which Matrisciana has appealed.
The trial was August 2, 1999 and the case revolved around the two teens who were placed on the railroad tracks after they were murdered. They call it the "Train Deaths" Murders. Jay Campbell and Kirk Lane, the plaintiffs, sued for $16 million even though they were named as suspects in the murder case. The mother of one of the murdered sons described the 12-year fight for justice and named Campbell and Lane as hands-on killers of her son. There were eyewitnesses. The incident was connected to a drug smuggling ring and the CIA.
A former drug prosecutor Jean Duffy described massive corruption and had to flee for her life. She had evidence but Attorney Chuck Banks halted the drug-ring investigation. In spite of all this evidence Jeremiah Films and Citizens for Honest Government lost the case. 25% of the $600,000 finally settled on was to be paid by Jeremiah Films and Citizens were to pay the rest. The final result was that Jeremiah Films was exonerated from the fine but Citizens for Honest Government are now defunct.
Matrisciana stated that this was a gross miscarriage of justice and said that the jury "clearly misapplied the law under the guidelines set down by the judge." The law failed to bring to justice the killers of the two boys who stumbled upon a drug drop. An appeal is being considered because this case is a First Amendment issue. Citizens for honest government were paralyzed. (The entire court proceedings are available verbatim on their website jeremiahfilms.com)

PROMISE KEEPERS

(Charisma Magazine 8.99) According to Bishop Long the national men's ministry Promise Keepers (PK) dropped the ball on racial reconciliation at a pivotal point three years ago. PK founder Bill McCartney is a "God-ordained, God-charged, God-led, God-sent man," Long says. But he believes McCartney's vision for racial reconciliation among men "got mixed because other men got in there and started voting on it. They did not catch the real heart of what God was doing through him," Long says. "They did not have [McCartney's] heart." The PK's pastors rally in Atlanta in 1996 was a turning point for the organization. "They missed the boat," said Bishop Long. [Comment: According to Guidestar PK's assets are $12,720.041 in 1997 and income of $68,089,484

JUDGE DENIES HENRY LYONS' REQUEST

(The Tampa Tribune, 7.30.99 & 10.26.99) Rev. Henry J. Lyons took a last stab at getting his sentence reduced. Soon after his arrival in the state prison system, Lyons was taken from protective custody and placed with career criminals. His head was shaved, and he was required to undergo "boot camp training" with other inmates with violent histories. Judge Susan Schaeffer scoffs at Lyon's request read the headline August 6, 1999. She said that there was no repentance before the trial. Now he has regrets about his situation behind bars. Lyon's co-defendant drew a 21-month prison sentence. She was hoping
to avoid a sentence behind bars. She failed to pay taxes on more than $500,000 she received from the National Baptist Convention U.S.A.

TBN


(Charisma Magazine, 8.99) TBN fights to keep Miami station after losing battle with FCC. Paul Crouch lost his license in April to air in Miami. He allegedly abused FCC minority ownership policies. He appealed and the decision is to be decided in early 2000.
The film "The Omega Code" is taking the Christian message to mainstream movie theaters. TBN staked $6.5 million in the project. The Omega Code is INTENTIONALLY VAGUE ON MANY BIBLICAL POINTS. "We just tell a good story about a bad guy who wants to take over the world," stated Matt Crouch. The Omega Code looks and feels like major Hollywood production.
(TBN 10.20.99) 330,000 churches with 450,000 volunteers "partners" are participating in soliciting people to come and see the film. Their comments: "We are invading Hollywood. The Omega Code is the Blair Witch movie. Let the walls come down. The movies may become the medium of their own salvation.
Guidestar lists TBN Films Inc. as a nonprofit under arts, culture, holography. 1997 assets: $7,060.099 with an income of $2,682,570.

CROUCH CONFESSES A WINDFALL IN THE STOCK MARKET


(TBN - 8.22.99) During his fund raising Paul Crouch confessed the following: he was approached to buy stock and he said he invested just a few dollars. "Something" spoke to him to check on the stock and it had gone up to nearly $100 a share bringing him nearly $1 million in just a few weeks [months]. [Comment: He didn't just buy a few shares. To get close to a million. It would have had to be around 10,000 shares].
Paul Crouch made another interesting comment: "Transferring the wealth of the wicked to the church FORCE GOD TO PERFORM A MIRACLE BY PLANTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND YOUR LAST DOLLAR. If you don't have any, God will produce a miracle to get it to you. DO YOU HAVE A SICK CHILD? DON'T GO TO JESUS IN PRAYER, PLANT COLD CASH INTO TBN AND GOD WILL MAKE YOUR CHILD WELL."

JOYNER AND BAKKER JOIN FORCES


(Charisma Magazine 8.99) Rick Joyner's Morning Star donated a 17,000 square-foot log lodge in Charlotte, NC to Jim Bakker (former PTL President) for purposes of building Bakker's New Covenant Fellowship ministry. Football star Reggie White is teaming up with Jim Bakker to provide some opportunities for the people living in the area.
[Editor's note: I watched Rick Joyner last night and he talks to his congregation addressing them as soldiers. He promised promotions and told them that God would call on them to come out of the trenches one of these days SOON FOR THE NEW MOVE. God will need generals to fill the trenches. Rick Joyner is in love with famous sports figures. He believes that they will be the leaders of the Christian communities one of these days which is beginning to bear fruit in attracting the football star Reggie White.

ANGEL FEATHERS FALL ON BETHEL


(Charisma Magazine 8.99) More than 500 people in Toronto now have received gold teeth. The sings and wonders in the church have continued. At Bill Johnson's church in Redding, California small little feathers fall from the ceiling and have been doing that for some time. Bethel has been the sight of some "awesome miracles" recently. The feathers started dropping after a Morning Star Prophet (the Ministry of Rick Joyner) visited the church for a series of meetings. Mr. Kelly a member of Bethel AOG of Redding describes the appearance of feathers: "The feathers thing has been truly amazing. I believe it started when we had the prophet Bobby Conners come to our church for a series of meetings. During ministry time people would see feathers fall from the ceiling and Bobby explained it as a sign of angelic activity.. (I thought it was dove feathers). I'm not sure if he was saying they were angel feathers or not.. But ever since he came we have seen feathers falling from the ceiling.. they are very small and delicate, and not many fall, but you can see them from a good distance.. God is always surprising us with new things.

A QUOTE FROM BOBBY CONNERS' WEBSITE


(End Times, September/ October 1999) Bobby Conners is a close friend of Rick Joyner. I read his newsletter on his website. Here is a quote from his newsletter: (www.bobbyconners.org) "The next event that happened to me was that I suddenly had pressure on my forehead. It was as if a very hot hand was being pressed against my forehead directly above my eyes. I feel that this is a sign of the Lord's marking or branding upon the foreheads of His servants. Additionally, the Lord is giving His prophets a tender heart but a hard head. The Lord said, "You will need my rest and peace upon you to make it through the things that are coming."" "REVOLUTION" is one of his keywords.

ELECTROCUTED TEENS BY GOD'S POWER


(TBN 10.20.99) I happened to watch a rerun of Hinn's Toronto crusade and I was mortified. Benny Hinn is concentrating on young teenagers now. "Fire on these kids! Electrocuted by God's power! That's God's anointing on these kids." "Come friends look at the anointing on these kids! Let the fire come down on these young people!" The kids were totally out of control. Their legs went out from under them like rubber and they slammed down jerking and trembling all over, contorting their bodies in epileptic fashion. Hinn shouted: "Lord I give you these kids, they are electrocuted. It's the Holy Ghost on these kids. Come on up here! That's fire on you - You and I used to pray for this to happen. That's the glory of God on these kids enjoying God's fire." Benny points at one of a man on stage and electrocuted him in the spirit. He glowingly bragged that the man was a pilot of American Airlines.
"Let this happen in every church in America." So-called fire came down on a large group. Benny's voice started to growl. "I never thought this would happen in Canada. I will pore out my spirit upon your sons and daughters," Hinn shouted. A woman in agony, shrieking, he couldn't pick up the young lady, and started laughing. Their bodies were all in spasms from top to bottom - shrieking people. I have never in my life seen anything as scary as that. People were laying all over the stage jerking. "Fog will hit your home and families. The same fire will come on your homes," Hinn told them. The audience was huge in a stadium in Toronto, Canada and they were told to shout "fire" in unison and the shaking got worse.
Benny Hinn related that he has had experiences when he thought he was going to die. He supposedly said to the "Holy Spirit", "if you fill me anymore, I'm going to die." This is what he did to the kids on stage. He prayed over the audience that this anointing would be placed on the parents, children and grandchildren.

Benny Hinn is celebrating his 25th anniversary asking $100 a plate at the celebration. He is giving up his church in Orlando and starting a Healing Center in Dallas, Texas November 1, 99. A new book is out "Divine Healing," It speaks to the river. "The Holy Spirit is the substance of Healing." [Comment: The Holy Spirit is a personage and part of the Godhead. False prophets will be judged harsher then others.] I have been waiting for someone to prove the evil spiritual activity with facts but is seems impossible. I received an urgent email to get Benny's ministry shut down. This fellow like me just couldn't handle what he saw anymore and has to do something to stop it. It is up to us to warn people to stay away. The danger of becoming permanently possessed is obvious. The resistance to demons is broken down little by little in the youth. The Bible states that demons will be released during the tribulation to possess people. To me it seems like they are preparing the way to eventually allow access to humans instantly.

On another occasion Benny's wife Susan got into the act and stated the following: "If your engine doesn't rev up, you a need a Holy Ghost enema up your ? ("spirit" my husband insisted, but my mind went to what would naturally follow. It was hard discern what she really said. We replayed it three times).

(The Door, September/ October 1999) The Haunting Hinn House. After perishing in a freak on-air accident in which his toupee adhesive spontaneously combusts in the heat of the klieg lights, turning into an extremely well-coifed human torch, a noted televangelist's charred body is laid to rest. But his spirit, knowing that its earthly host was offed by a disgruntled, chronically underpaid staff member, haunts the ministry's offices, making nonstop fund-raising appeals, performing dubious, unverifiable healings, and interviewing fundamentalist pinheads. After being terrorized for weeks, petrified staff members seek professional help in exorcising their former boss (which some of them thought should have been done long before, when the guy was still alive, but that's another story) - and then the REAL action begins! If you were nauseated with terror during The Exorcist, you'll blow chunks during The Haunting of the Hinn House!"

CEPHAS MINISTRY OPPOSES CREMATION


(Fox News 10.7.99) BUDDHISTS BELIEVE BODIES WILL NOT REST UNLESS CREMATED!
The Antichrist spirit used John F. Kennedy's untimely death mightly to plant his seed in people's minds. When John's body was sprinkled into the waves at sea it was stated: "The bodies have been returned to the sea from whence we all came." I was hoping the parents of the girls would bury their daughters in a grave but it was too easy to get it all done at once.
John's cremation created a stir among Catholics. God used it for a wake-up call for Catholics. Catholic priests had a hard time explaining to their members how that could be. The membership didn't know that Vatican II had changed the rules about cremation.
I looked up the Catholic definition in their Encyclopedia: "Cremation": The disposal of a dead body by burning it and reducing it to ashes. Cremation was the normal custom in the ancient civilized world, except in Egypt, Judaea and China. IT WAS REPUGNANT TO THE EARLY CHRISTIANS BECAUSE OF THE BELIEF IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY.
By the fifth century, cremation had been largely abandoned in the Roman Empire because it was believed that to do so was a sign of disbelief in the immortality of the soul, as well as an act of disrespect for the body. THIS PROHIBITION WAS LIFTED IN 1963; in the revised Code of Canon Law, cremation is permitted, provided it is not done for reasons contrary to Christian Faith (cf. Canon 1176.3)

DOMINION CAMPMEETING: ROD PARSLEY, THE REVOLUTION PIPER

(TBN 7.22.99) In a meeting prior to the Dominion Campmeeting, I was amazed how similar the theme was to Rick Joyner's. Parsley's audience was mostly black. He was virtually indoctrinating them with "revolutionary agenda". The word "revolution" was used over and over. He reminded the audience of Martin Luther King by video and told the black congregation that he is trying to find people who want to invade. Get ready to invade. Revolution is not for the timid, not for the weak, but the strong and brave. Revolution means taking matters into your own hands. He admonished them to desert their denominations and come up higher. You have heard the "voice of the master??" (Parsley's voice?). Throw your notes out preachers. This is a military operation. Get that mess cleaned up.
(TBN video rerun of Campmeeting 8.16.99) Parsley's speaker, a black lady named Prophetess Uanita screamed at the top of her lungs, "NOW OVERTHROW THE ENEMY. HOLY GHOST OVERTHROW NOW. She kept repeating : "It's a revolution!" Tell somebody. Keywords: Dominion, revolution, overthrow over and over planted firmly into the audience's mind. "Give God a sacrifice: something you have never done before. That's a revolution. Let me tell you when you got it. I have dominion now." She began speaking in tongues without interpretation.
"Going home with power and dominion forever. When you walk in dominion you multiply. Tell the devil to make my day. Devil when you put your hands on me, I multiply in the Holy Ghost." "WHERE THERE IS TROUBLE THAT IS WHERE MULTIPLYING IS GOING TO START." "Quadrupling of Holy Ghost, that's dominion.
Devil is touching my job means you are getting ready for a better job. I'm in authority not you. You won't need the flesh. "I got it" I'm waiting for you to seize it. The Holy Ghost said last night, "you have to get close enough for your neighbors to smell smoke." Smell like smoke. They are going to hear your screaming .. everything that is not calling on my name and is not on my side is going down. The Holy Ghost said: "I want to pull my people of dominion out of the crowd.
Rod Parsley wrote a book about the impartation "MAKE MY BABY JUMP". The baby relates to Elisabeth who carried John the Baptist in her womb. When the Virgin Mary looked at John the Baptist in her womb, the baby jumped.
(TBN - 8.22.99) Rod Parsley preached on the transfer of wealth and to take the thing over in his name. He mocked the Scripture about the crumbs under the table. People should forget about that. God held back the wealth until now. Heap treasure together for the last husbandman early and latter rain. A transfer is going to transpire. At the right time I'm going to shove it across the table to you. You are going to give birth to something you didn't know you were pregnant with. Go get a seed [money] and put it in your hand, believing for a miracle and three days later she conceived. PUT ASIDE RELIGIOUS TRADITION. The seed has to be significant enough to get a breakthrough. Something supernatural will happen. How bad do you want a miracle. Don't you want to touch your spirit? Sow a seed for a miracle $1,000 God is moving the wealth to his people.

PENSACOLA "REVIVAL" SPREADS


Crowds cheer during the "Awake America" event at the Meadowlands, near New York City. Steve Hill says the Northeast can "lead the country in revival." The crowd was estimated to be over 17,000 from eleven states. The backdrop of the massive arena ads pushing beer, pizza, and lottery tickets and gambling, the service was opened with hard-hitting praise. Hill and Kilpatrick jumped and danced in the joy of the Lord. Hill preached "clean house"; get rid of pronography, while Kilpatrick shouted: "I'm ready to believe God for anything!" Manifestations were scarce. Hill and Kilpatrick got hundreds of invitations to speak in churches is why they began to travel. THE NEW JERSEY CRUSADE WAS SPEARHEADED BY AN INTERDENOMINATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE OF 15 LOCAL PASTORS WHO RAISED ALMOST HALF OF THE $215,000 BUDGET. 250 churches from several states supported the event. WE'VE COME TOGETHER IN UNITY OF THE SPIRIT," said Father Joe Romanoski of Sacred Heart, a CATHOLIC CHURCH. This is a Jesus event.

(The Plumbline, July / August 1999) "It happened again today.. only more powerful, more life changing. GOD CAME. Pastor Kilpatrick came to the pulpit and said he was going to obey the moving of the Spirit and form a tunnel of faith. He began to call all the elders and deacons and the staff from BRSM (The School ministry, now 1100 strong) and then others he hand picked. They moved the chairs from across the front of the pews so we'd have room. The people forming the tunnel lined up facing each other and they began to funnel everyone through it. Those praying would stretch forth their hands, lay hands of them or just pray as they passed through.. I got my cameras out and tried to get into a position where I could see some of the faces as they passed through the tunnel. I became mixed up several times because I was so close to the anointed prayers. At one point, a friend named Brian said something to me and when I turned to face him, my legs simply gave away, I got a little bit of the giggles for a moment because I had not realized I was getting to that point yet.. After over an hour the lines were still long but I didn't want to miss the tunnel so an usher let me break line. I continually bumped into everyone. When a hand touched my head or back, I would practically shriek out and go into a spin. I felt like a pin ball must feel like in one of those machines when I bumped into another across the tunnel. Once I was through the tunnel I started spinning again until I hit the floor. It was like being swept away to another place.. Soon I turned toward the crowd.. people were in trance like states all over." (Kathy Wood)

"I got pastor Shumway from another AOG church to pray for me. As he turned toward me I started deep bowing until he turned touched my head and then I went electric until I crashed. My head was trying to hide in my blouse again. Ha ha ha ha. My pockets emptied my tags and certs were everywhere. I could see them but I couldn't get to them. Some people around me tried to help me up but it was no use. No one pays any attention to people like me anymore, it's a common sight here, but for a prayer team member who can manage a lot of anointing, it's a bit unusual to be so overcome. I had to set my cruise control to 35 mph." [on the way home].

"And yet another positive report of Brownsville from Sister Cathy Wood: "You asked me what's up so.. here goes! The Gott's (Ken and Lois from Sunderland AOG in the UK) are here for a conference at Brownsville. Well they seem to have an impartation for intercession and going a bit deeper in the river. They prayed for the prayer team last night for about 45 minutes before church. It was such a strong anointing. The room was full of everone behaving as if electricity was charging through us in huge waves. Uncontrollable yells were coming from us. As a matter of fact.. ouch!.. they are hitting me as I try to describe it. My head keeps on getting swallowed up by my shoulder in huge jerks as "OHHHH!" comes out of my mouth as if my voice and body are synchronized. Last night my head was in my blouse.. ha ha ha ha .. I am starting to laugh now .. whoa.. Oops.. there I go again. Sometime between 6:15 and 7:00 my arrings broke off.. who knows when? Maybe my shoulders did it!!"

A MINISTER SHOCKED AT BROWNSVILLE'S SERVICE


(The Plumbline, July / August 1999) An ordained minister went to Brownsville for the anointing and became disillusioned. She had this to say: "Presently I live on the gulf coast, on the Alabama/ Florida line, just 30 miles from Pensacola. After talking with numerous people about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, someone told me that I should go to Brownsville and see if I could receive the baptism there. What a shock!!! I went on time and at the end of the service, the altar call was unbelievable. People rushed forward to be prayed for. The pastor shouted "A Fresh Anointing" and swept his arm over the crowd. People all around me fell to the floor as if they had been machine-gunned. I stood alone in the midst of approximately 50-60 bodies while others rushed over those people to receive a similar experience. Again the same thing happened and again I was left standing in what was becoming a pile of bodies. These people were out cold, as if they had been knocked unconscious. Ministers began to move through the crowd, praying for people and laying hands on those who requested prayer. I was interested in one young girl about 17 who stood very rigid, shaking uncontrollably, muttering strange noises with her eyes rolled back in her head. I have seen demon-possessed people before, and I am convinced she was under the influence of one or more very powerful demonic beings. The ministers said a short prayer for her, laid hands on her and she fell backwards to land on the steps of the altar, jerking and convulsing and moaning.. when I left after midnight the girl was still on the steps of the altar shaking and convulsing and no one paying attention to her.. I must say right here that I have not received the baptism of the Spirit and cannot speak in tongues.. I went there wanting to be filled with the Spirit, the HOLY Spirit. And all I saw were people falling down, some barking like dogs, many jerking like stand-ins at a horror movie, and people being walked on after they hit the floor by people being totally selfish. Am I missing something here? May I ask a question? As an ordained minister, seeking the baptism of the Spirit, where do I go? I will not go back to Brownsville."

SODOM AND GOMORRAH FOUND!!


According to presidential hopeful George Bush, Jr. the United States is slouching toward Sodom and Gomorrah. Charisma Magazine (9.99) states that Ron Wyatt found it 10 years ago along a 60-mile stretch between the northern and southern tips of the Dead Sea. The crumbling outline of walls and buildings, including sphinx-shaped formations, rise about mountains to ash. Embedded in the ruins are millions of pale yellow sulfur balls, which Wyatt claims is the brimstone that rained on the cities. Sulfur in such a pure form, in rounded balls, isn't found anywhere except in this region. (www.anchor-stone.com/wyatt)

GERMANY CONSIDERS CHARISMATICS A SECT (Cult)


(Charisma, 9.99) In official publications in Germany, Charismatics are lumped together with sects which often include Satanists as potential dangers to the psychological well being of individuals. Public opposition to minority religions in Germany in the last 10 years created strange allies. Jones and a small number of Christians openly cooperated with the Church of Scientology by participating in U.S. Senate hearings into religious persecution in Germany. Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses and members of the Unification Church work together with charismatic Christians to defend themselves against possible organized persecution.

POKEMON

(The End Times, September/October 1999) Fellowshipping with Devils - The games our children and young people play have become largely "games of fellowship with devils." Nintendo has a proven record of introducing paganism to the world of games. They boast years ago that they would change the gods worshipped in America. They are well on their way. It is amazing that Pokemon (short for POCKEt Monster) games, toys, videos, etc., is manufactured and distributed by Nintendo, which is a wholly-owned Japanese company. Their American headquarters is in Redmond, Washington. Their website makes some incredible suggestions. Here are a few:
"Carry your Pokemon (POCKEt MONster) with you, and you're ready for anything! You've got the power in your hands, so use it!."
"You can catch a MEW by cheating with a Gameshark."
"Ahhh, Gameshark.. Cheating is not honorable. But many of you have requested and sent me this information, so I have put it up for all you cheaters."
"The Moon Stone evolves certain Pokemon (POCKEt MONster), such as Clefary."
"Select your desired attack. Hold down the button until your opponent's life stops draining."
"Once you have captured Zapados, you can use it to quickly lower the health level of Articuno.. "
It is very clear as we look at Nintendo's record that their games have been nothing but an introduction to devils and demons from their beginning.
