Jesus won't stand for that, he'll want him adorned with the finest jewels, all to be replaced and paid for by his parishioners.

There's a part of me that thinks this could be an attempted insurance scam.

That's pretty f'd up, but nowadays, you never know. I'm going to have to keep my eyes on the news for updates on this one.

I just saw a story that upped the amount to over 1 million in jewelry.

Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead – who’s cozy with Mayor Adams and previously did five years in prison for identity fraud and grand larceny – insisted on Instagram that his public displays of wealth didn’t lead to Sunday’s gunpoint robbery during his live-streamed service in Canarsie.

“It’s not about me being flashy,” said the Rolls Royce-driving clergyman,...

“It’s about me purchasing what I want to purchase. It’s my prerogative to purchase what I want to purchase.”

It's not about me being a robber; it's about me taking what I want to take.

With witchcraft, it isn't about the money, it's about the blasphemy. You kind of have to admire them for their principles. Let the Christians pray to Big Kotex.
