  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The world’s most valuable pharmaceutical corporation has named Jerry L. Maynard Sr., a general board member of the Church of God in Christ and founder of Cathedral of Praise in Nashville, Tennessee, in a lawsuit accusing him, his son, his daughter and others of engaging in a rebate fraud scheme that allegedly robbed the company of more than $200 million.

In the 66-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on May 19, Eli Lilly and Company accuses Maynard Sr.; his son, Jerry L. Maynard II, senior pastor of Cathedral of Praise; his daughter, Pastor Misha Maynard; and Readus C. Smith III, COGIC’s secretary-general of health and business, along with several other interrelated defendants, of defrauding the company “under the guise of a massive ‘prescription cost share program’ for members of the Church of God in Christ.”

According to Eli Lilly, the defendants purchased large quantities of the diabetes drug Trulicity through a pharmacy they operate in Florida and Tennessee, called DrugPlace, which purports to deliver medications by mail. The GLP-1 drug also causes weight loss similar to Ozempic.
