I don't know who disgusts me more, this idiot of a preacher or the people who delegate their thinking to him. If this community blocks his project, as they should, you can count on him playing the poor persecuted victim of the godless left. That farce will result in a windfall of donations from the stupid, uncritical, herd animals who make up his flock.
Nasty. Looks like the judge was bought. When the building does not if if does come crashing down-- hopefully with nobody inside- is he going to say "Looks like God doesnt want us here and we will leave quietly?" Doubt it very much.And he's insulting children to make his daughter look better. Whackjob.
If I were a con man and wanted to start a big con, the first thing I would do is become a church. Then I could get protection for the con by the very people I’d be conning.
He didn’t lie about the 10-15 million and here is why: the property was purchased for 4.5 million with the problem of inadequate roads and need for expensive permits. That affects the properties value as value is a function legal use.
So god has sent the archangel Michael and Michaels helper angels in the form in the form of judges that will force the roads to be widened to support traffic by gods decree to take the land adjacent to the roads just as Gabriel took Israel. But this time instead of killing all the people owning land next to the road for their homes they use use gods commandment of eminent domain to take the land needed to widen the road and make the new temple of god more valuable.
God realizes he got a lot of bad press with his genocide taking of Israel by Gabriel so this time he will forcibly take land and improvements forcing many owners to leave their homes but he will pay them. God will not pay them with his own money as he has no use for money. Instead his priests will pay these squatters on god’s new highway to his new temple with forced tithings from his flock and others not part of his flock called taxes.
A widened road will be built and paid for by these forced tithings—taxes—and God’s temple will be remodeled and added to increasing the values of the property to 15 million if sold. Also, no taxes will be paid on the church temple increasing its value.
I understand that this temple will go back to the good old days of burnt offering— we all know god just loves the smell of burning flesh—but they will be called BBQs. The money changers will return but now they will not change but just receive through tithings.
Amen about his distorted priorities! I guess it shows what HIS view of Christianity is. But i guess if it makes him more $ that he won’t spend doing the work of Jesus, that his master plan.
And, these people wonder why their congregations are getting smaller and smaller, and why the number of Christians in America is declining. You just have to look at men like Shuttlesworth to find your answer. Now, they are perfecting the victim role, that their own Dear Leader has perfected in the media. Con men begetting con men in the name of the Almighty. The prosperity gospel is just one long disgusting, perfidious con by the evangelicals that preys on the desperate and ignorant. I guess this is why evangelicals do so well in rural America.
The redistribution of wealth in American under Reagan made the rich richer and the poor poorer, and that ever growing gap left a fertile field of misplaced anger and economic desperation white unto harvest for evangelical grifters. That may be an oversimplification, but Reagan's Trickle-Down Economics helped pave the way for the prosperity gospel conjobs.
Just exactly who does this guy think will be attending his vanity project 'church' if not the locals in the area he's gone out of his way to piss off? I feel sorry for his daughter who will bear the brunt of his boorish behavior at school every day. What kind of father has to praise his daughter by trash talking about other CHILDREN??
The church is within reasonable driving distance of Pittsburgh so maybe he can draw from there. On the other hand, there are a fuck ton of churches in Pittsburgh so …. competition.
What an awful way to talk about your daughter. Saying she could only shine because none of the other kids had any talent. That's insulting to the other kids, their parents, and his own daughter. That poor kid is going to be therapy for life getting over such toxic parenting.
I have a hard time being surprised by this bonehead move. That evangelicals feel as though they can run roughshod over other people's privacy to spread The Word™ is old news. That they feel entitled to do as they please with land granted or purchased without considering the local area or impact regarding traffic flow and neighbors is maybe not so old.
And here we go again with accusations and lawsuits and all manner of crap coming down because some hotshot Christian preacher decided he could act with impunity and got caught at it. About all I can do is shake my head at it and be glad they're THERE and I'm NOT.
“He added a quick caveat, just in case: If America was impacted by COVID, it would only hurt blue states that “have chosen to give God the middle finger.”
So he’s a false prophet too? It’s amazing that liars like him continue to have followers.
Interesting that he seems to imply here that people only get COVID due to God's punishment and yet a certain someone whom he supports for POTUS eventually got COVID...
Imaginary gods can have any absurdity spouted in its name. The crazier the better. The wilder it is, the more the superstitious believe it MUST be from god as no human could do it. When it fails they blame non kkkristers for the sins blocking their omnieverygoddamnedthing gods.
So, there’s another judge that needs to be impeached. Why wouldn’t the town’s ordinances apply to this church? How much did he get to make that decision?
There isn’t a single evangelical (or practically any other sect) preacher that isn’t an egomaniacal monster, this guy is no exception and not too extreme comparatively.
The dominionist preachers are getting really cocky... remember the one in TN who put up the circus tent without permits and blares his noise at the neighbors? I am not a libertarian, but I am coming to the conclusion that municipalities need to fight fire with fire. Cut off their Fire, police, sewer, water and tell them if they want these services, they have to purchase them at market rates.
Yes. That is also a strong possibility, it just seemed like in such a case she wouldn't be outgoing enough for a talent show. But given the shirt, it is also a distinct possibility.
It's not about being outgoing, it's about obeying her father or else. A braggart like him must show off his children, following “appropriate gender roles” of course. He doesn't specify what she exactly did, how old she was or where it happened*, unless I missed these informations. A non edited video or it didn't happen.
*If it really happened, was it at his church, at a school, somewhere else ? Who funded the event ? Do you see where I want to go there ?
As I said elsewhere, given the lack of information on the event, my mind went to Jon Benet, the 5(?) year old beauty pageant queen who was murdered a couple of decades ago and the tabloids were obsessed with. The pictures of her dressed up for the pageant is what convinced me what a sick thing child beauty pageants are.
They are pedophile fantasy shows, who else would want to see a child tarted up like a sex object? But is appealing to sick men, *cough* Duggar *cough* and abusive woman who feed them victims. It is very popular here in the south.
I don't know who disgusts me more, this idiot of a preacher or the people who delegate their thinking to him.

Doubt it very much.And he's insulting children to make his daughter look better. Whackjob.
But if the building does crash with him inside, it’s god’s will, right?
Yes. God's will not because he was in too much of a hurry to get the proper paper work done-- nothing to do with that what-so-ever!
Yes, I'd say so. Great snark!
Prosperity gospel - not Christianity - a bunch of wannabe billionaires trying to buy their way into Christian heaven :/
I don't know why anyone would give a thin dime to spend any time with these fraudster assholes. May their grift be short, and their churches be empty.
If I were a con man and wanted to start a big con, the first thing I would do is become a church. Then I could get protection for the con by the very people I’d be conning.
God bless America
land of the legal
and protected cons.
God bless America
Where leaders act
Like mafia Dons
God bless America
Where young girls
There to please me
God bless America
Where women obey
The lend that I see
God bless America
A land of the free and THE brave
MEN ONLY PREFERABLY WHITE
Everyone can.
I have better places to spend my money. Like my own Bombardier Global 8000 jet.
as long as it has a big double bed for you and Ryan, I'm all for it.
Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't have room for a double shower as well.
You say that like it’s a bad thing…
Maybe I should clarify, I meant a shower big enough for two.
Imagine how many people he could have helped with 4.5 millions, let alone the 10-15 millions* he pretended to have spend.
I am curious on what basis the judge dismissed the (charges ?). Will he bears the responsibility if an accident happens ?
* Let say he modified the buildings to suit his needs, this sum still seems a little too high, even with contractors working 24/7.
He didn’t lie about the 10-15 million and here is why: the property was purchased for 4.5 million with the problem of inadequate roads and need for expensive permits. That affects the properties value as value is a function legal use.

God is great. God is great. God is great.
Bravo. That's Holytape level :)
Amen about his distorted priorities! I guess it shows what HIS view of Christianity is. But i guess if it makes him more $ that he won’t spend doing the work of Jesus, that his master plan.
He’s literally modeled himself after Trump..
Over inflating the value of his property
Callous disdain and disregard for laws
Braggadacious posts where every other sentence is praising himself
Callously insults everyone who isn’t him
“Witch hunt”
OMG!!!!! They cloned 45?!?! We're all doomed.

Yes, you’re right though. I remember the TV evangelicals from the early 80s that my grandmother would send money to like Benny Hinn and the Crouches.
Just exactly who does this guy think will be attending his vanity project 'church' if not the locals in the area he's gone out of his way to piss off? I feel sorry for his daughter who will bear the brunt of his boorish behavior at school every day. What kind of father has to praise his daughter by trash talking about other CHILDREN??
With any luck she'll rebel, and run off with some ambitious young guy named Jesus.
The church is within reasonable driving distance of Pittsburgh so maybe he can draw from there. On the other hand, there are a fuck ton of churches in Pittsburgh so …. competition.
And then there is my fave church in Pittsburgh.

The cash register is in an old confessional booth.
The beer is, IMHO, pedestrian. But the setting is fantastic.
Wanna bet she's homeschooled? Can't have her hob-nobbing with those heathen kids.
What an awful way to talk about your daughter. Saying she could only shine because none of the other kids had any talent. That's insulting to the other kids, their parents, and his own daughter. That poor kid is going to be therapy for life getting over such toxic parenting.
That’s pretty much a guarantee for the kids of these scum.
I have a hard time being surprised by this bonehead move. That evangelicals feel as though they can run roughshod over other people's privacy to spread The Word™ is old news. That they feel entitled to do as they please with land granted or purchased without considering the local area or impact regarding traffic flow and neighbors is maybe not so old.

Which one was saying "fuck you" to local noise ordinances ?
Greg Locke.
ugh another piece of human shaped effluent.
Thanks. I just read your comment when you mention him :)
Hmm ... his name wouldn't be "Shuttlesworth," would it? 😝
No, another. He uses circus tents in a state rife with storms and tornadoes.
They all start to blend together and be indistinguishable.
I hope the locals throw those spiked rumblestrips on the road in front of the church.
Wait until they’re all gathered in there, THEN start digging up the roads for “road improvement projects”.
Oh! I like the way you think! reroute the locals, and let the christian nationalists be stuck in traffic for hours!
Hours? You’re too small minded.
I’m thinking months.
I'm getting a crush on you here, such a wonderful mind you have!
Stuck in a jam like this one?

Repeal the 19th!?!? Shhhhhh, don't give SCOTUS any ideas!
How many women are part of this church?
I'm sure the number is >0. This says something pitiful about the American public.
Tût tût. Who do you think has the privilege to clean for free ?
They're probably already working on that as we speak. I would put ANYTHING past this SCOTUS.
God don't need no stinkin' permit.
“He added a quick caveat, just in case: If America was impacted by COVID, it would only hurt blue states that “have chosen to give God the middle finger.”

You expect logic? I have a spare bridge I'd love to get rid of.
When the the AIDS epidemic came about, it was "God's punishment of homosexuals....like leprosy."
Yes, that is an actual quote I heard from a pulpit decades ago.
But see, HE survived (damn the 'luck' (sometimes you *almost* wish doctors weren't so dedicated to saving everyone))
Hear, hear! When I heard that SOB had Covid, I crossed my fingers and hoped to hell that this would be the silver lining to the pandemic.
Santa. Or a gay man thinking about making the dishes.
"Gay Santas Doing the Dishes"-the exciting new off-off-Broadway play. In previews starting in August. Get your tickets today!
Those are the ones I hope Covid gets.
But it never does. Or so it seems.
Imaginary gods can have any absurdity spouted in its name. The crazier the better. The wilder it is, the more the superstitious believe it MUST be from god as no human could do it. When it fails they blame non kkkristers for the sins blocking their omnieverygoddamnedthing gods.
I guess that "ye shall know them by their fruits" doesn't apply to their Fearless Leaders.
I won’t be sad when this idiot Shuttles off to whatever imagined hell awaits him.
One of those special people that makes me wish everyone gets exactly what they imagine, except they get what they imagine for others.

The arrogant contempt that Christians have for others boggles the mind. These are supposed to be the 'moral' ones.

At least, unlike his idol, he hasn't said how sexy his daughter was during the talent show. (Why am I picturing Jon Benet?)
The way that just gets ignored is SO fucking troubling to me, I can't.
I was picturing Ivanka, that pic of her sitting on daddy's lap.
gross....
In jeezy's name, I will do my best, to help myself and fuck over thee.
So, there’s another judge that needs to be impeached. Why wouldn’t the town’s ordinances apply to this church? How much did he get to make that decision?

If I was this jerk's child, I would be deeply embarrassed about that juvenile mockery of my fellow competitors at the talent show.
Yes, but will she? She's been raised by this arrogant asshole, there's a very good chance she is also an arrogant asshole.
Or a broken girl who learned the hard way not to say "no" to her owner.
Yes. That is also a strong possibility, it just seemed like in such a case she wouldn't be outgoing enough for a talent show. But given the shirt, it is also a distinct possibility.
It's not about being outgoing, it's about obeying her father or else. A braggart like him must show off his children, following “appropriate gender roles” of course.

That's sick. Pageants = Pets beauty shows.
"her owner?"
In that gross misinterpretation of religion children are chattel, as are women.
I'm not sure it's a misinterpretation. I think it's exactly the interpretation that was intended by ancient Jews and the incel Paul.
🎯Point taken.
Her father for now.
I have high hopes for teenage rebellion.
Good point.
One day the church wilol hve far more money than the rest of thed town put together. AND will pay no taxes.
That's a given. Already HAS happened in several locations I know of.
