Statement: On the Robbery of the Church

Press Release 12/5/2011

OLMSTED TOWNSHIP, OH - We the People must be the eyes in our communities. We must look out for one another.

When a crime occurs at a church building, it is usually the leadership laundering money in one way or another. In this case, the few dollars that were at the church building were stolen by someone breaking and entering. Candidly, the way the “church” is today and all the crime in the churches, I am glad it was from the outside and not one of the dollar-hungry “senior pastors” or “elders.”

“A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.” Proverbs 20:8

Our sinful society encourages, “Don’t judge; don’t watch your neighbors.” This is actually the type of action that enables criminals to do what they do. Refusing to be the eyes in our communities and refusing to verify causes undo strain, whereas problems like this are more common, as we see more common in Cleveland, the same city that criminally prosecuted me for sharing the Gospel, the love of Jesus Christ by talking to people on a public sidewalk in downtown Cleveland.

Most people do not realize the costs in dollars – taxes – of any type of crime. It costs the taxpayers money to pay for gas for a police car to come to the scene of a crime, maintenance on the car, wages and insurance for the officers, back office support, costs for criminal prosecution, costs of booking, court costs, as I say in the video an average of $25,000 per inmate in prison (many private, owned by fraudster hedge funds) per year, and so much more. How much money we could save when we hold each other accountable by watching, asking questions, and just saying hello to strangers.

That such a horrible crime occurred, allegedly according to a surveillance camera 11/14, we all should be on our knees, in tears to God. What did the sinners have to gain? What could we have done by loving them even more to prevent this? The Lord Jesus Christ is our only hope and answer.
