CBS News...."Feed The Children" .....scam?

[Lovely Lane]

Saw a CBS News investigation concerning "Feed The Children" organization as being deceptive and practicing fraud.

Rev. Larry Jones got caught taking bribes and kickbacks so says his daughter,Larri Sue.

Rev Jones fired his daughter, Larri Sue, and when a judge said he couldn't do that, Larri Sue and the Board of Director's fired Rev Jones. What a mess!

Now Rev Jones says that Larri Sue has embezzled millions $$. And son, Allen Jones, involved in fraud and cover-up as well.

"Feed the Children" Charity Under Fire - CBS News

"Only 21-23 percent of your cash donations that people give actually go to program services."

"But the Christian charity's donors might feel let down by the most scandalous allegations, about pornography and sexual and racist emails. "Feed the Children" says it found incest-related porn in Reverend Larry Jones' office.

Larry Jones counters by producing racist and inappropriate emails that he claims were traded by top executives. "Plot to kidnap Obama" a watermelon under a box trap. "if she looks too young, just assume she's 18."

Jude 1:811Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion.
12These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
14Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." 16These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

I didn't see all that extra in-fighting, wow.

If child porn was on the computer, they have a responsibility to report it to police, not report it to the news media, I think.

And I remember the tv ad's making people feel guilty if they didn't donate, what a rip off.

 

[Celticflower]

I'll stick to donating thru UMCOR for now.

CBS news--the organization that typed up memos on MSOffice claiming they were written in the 70's on a typewriter, and built a lead story from them to try to sway a presidential election.

I remember that, 'RatherGate'. Just last month Dan Rather lost his law suit appeal for 70 million. But it was Mary Mapes, news producer, who pulled a fast one in the document scandal.

'....sway a presidential election' lol, the 'Swift Boat' folks did the same, in making Kerry look bad.

But I think that the report on the 'Feed The Children' scam is at least nearly accurate.

Um, what did the Swift Boat Vets forge? They presented their own testimony and Kerry's own words.

Why do you suppose that Dan Rather didn't realize that he did anything wrong? My observation is that it is because he learned from his mentor, (Walter Cronkite), how to make a career out of fabricating untrue news, and the National Guard memos were just business as usual at CBS News. This is the umbrella organization of 60 Minutes, and "RatherGate" is not the first time they, (or the rest of the network news shows), were caught fabricating false stories.

What does any of this have to do with the meltdown of a corrupt charity? There's a special place in hell for lying, inbred wolves in sheep's clothing.

This is sad news indeed...

It was to do with Christians propagating gossip against other Christians started by an established false witness. The Bible doesn't talk about special places in Hell, but it does talk about gossips and false witnesses.
