Of course I have to say, that’s my opinion, but I’ve got a feeling it will be your opinion too after reading this. That is, if the previous post about their money pimping didn’t convince you, the previous post about Paula’s scripture twisting didn’t convince you and the previous post about Paula’s passover scam didn’t convince you.

The article by the the Tampa Tribune about their money pimping, see this previous post, seems to be causing more people who have been pimped by the White’s or involved in their game to come forward. Since that previous article noted how they devoured a widow’s money, let’s start with the latest article that offers more details about that. Of course it is best read in full, I’m just offering portions of it here. And it would be best to read the previously mentioned article first.

So smooth talking Paula had the old lady sign away her rights to $170K, with Randy there as part of the scam. Of course it’s just my opinion that it’s all a scam, but the old lady is out of her money and the promise has not been fulfilled. I call that a scam. A scam on a widow. This particular widow has not lost her personal home, but this still reminds me of a message Jesus gave to the Pharisees.

I’ve told you before about how Jesus talked about these pimps getting over on widows.

Randy White claims the widow has stayed at their new multi-million dollar home, but even if she’s stayed there a night or more, that’s not the same as living there. Randy claims she has a “room” there, but if she really lives there where is her key to the house?

This poor widow has been hustled and still has herself hanging out there for the White’s. Because she is a lonely widow. This woman has been shamefully scammed and that is not the work of Jesus Christ. It is the work of common scam artists, that falsely claim the name of the Lord Jesus for profit.

Now let’s move on to the single mother that was played like a show piece. At least she’s left the White’s so-called church. Again, this article is best read in full.

Here I must mention, that Christian charity is done in secret, not on public display.

Even if the White’s had given that single mother the house, there still is the issue that they were showboating a charitable deed. They should have open books so people who desire to inquire can see where the money is going, but using charity as a show is counter to the Lord’s command.

(from the article)

…
Robert Fruster was the man on stage announcing the winners. He felt terrible about what happened, he said.
…
Through a public relations company, Randy White issued a statement that said the giveaway did not turn out the way he had hoped.

“We tried to do a good thing, and it backfired,” the statement said. However, White said the contest clearly stated that the winner got a down payment, not the house.
…
Dupree was thrilled to emerge as one of five finalists. But she was concerned by the notice on the contest entry that said the church would provide the down payment on the house - not the house. When church staff asked the finalists to apply for a mortgage, she called Fruster.

She would never qualify, she told him, and she didn’t make enough money to afford payments. She had secured housing assistance and planned to move into an apartment.

She applied as they asked, and the mortgage company rejected her, she said.

She prayed anyway.

“I was always taught that God works in impossible situations,” she wrote in a letter to White on March 18, 2003, after it became clear she would never live in the house.

White had wanted Dupree to win, Fruster said this week.

“I was his [White's] poster child for single mothers,” Dupree said.
…
Early on the day the prizes were to be announced, Fruster notified White that a contest panel had selected the winner of the top prize. It was someone who would qualify for the mortgage.

White said he wanted Dupree to get the house, Fruster recalled, and asked him to talk with the mortgage company.

That afternoon, Fruster said, he told White that Dupree would not qualify for a mortgage. Again, he said, White insisted they make it work.

Church leaders moved forward with the presentation, figuring they would resolve the money issue before move-in day, Fruster said.

On stage, Dupree said she thought she was experiencing a real-life miracle when Fruster deemed her a “brand-new homeowner.” The church leaders knew she couldn’t qualify for a mortgage, she thought. They must have rewarded her hardship and all her hard work to overcome it, and given her the house.

The church filmed a ribbon-cutting at the three-bedroom, two-bath home five days later. Paula White led Dupree and her children, then ages 6, 5 and 3, from room to room.
…
Behind the scenes, church leaders told Dupree that several details had to be resolved before she could move in.
…
About that time, she was stunned when she got calls from mortgage brokers, asking her to apply for a loan.

“Are you serious?” she remembers thinking. “I figured I would be taking care of the upkeep, the taxes and the insurance, but nobody said anything about a mortgage. This was supposed to be a free house.”

The house would not be free to Dupree, but Fruster was trying to help her buy it.

Billed as a $100,000 property, it would cost the winner only $65,000, Fruster said. A mortgage company and builder had worked before the contest to lower the price so the church would not have to provide a down payment, he said.

Dupree didn’t qualify for $65,000, but if the church paid about $10,000, she would be in the home today, Fruster said.

“From my perspective, it was a drop in the bucket, a very small amount, considering how big the church is and how much it takes in,” Fruster said.

Without Walls has said it was collecting about $10 million a year in revenue then.

“I wanted to close this out and do the right thing for LaShonda,” Fruster said.

He and his wife, Brenda, were among several staff members “released” from their jobs last year. The couple now lead Kingdom Worship Center.
…

Did you notice that the White’s and the church never actually had to pay this supposed down-payment they said that they would cover? Meaning this show-piece charity didn’t cost a dime.

She told them before hand that she could not afford the house and they still never actually put forward the money needed to help her move into the place. Honestly, I feel people appreciate things more when they have to put some of their money into it, so helping her to be able to afford the payments and qualify for the loan would have been good enough, but we know the White’s roll in enough money to have purchased the home in full and given it to her if they desired to do so.

…
As the deal unraveled, Dupree repeatedly contacted Randy White.

“At first he said he’d go to his grave to fix this and make it right for me,” she said. “Then it turned into finding me a rental home in Ybor City that one of the other pastors owned. I kept telling him, ‘No, that wasn’t the deal. I want my house.’”

By March 2003, Dupree gave up and moved to the apartment in Riverview.

“I finally accepted it was nothing but a publicity stunt,” she said.
…
White said Dupree received two months’ rent for her apartment and all the furniture in the Temple Terrace home. Dupree said she got the furniture, donated by a local store, but no money for rent.

She no longer attends Without Walls or any other church.
…

Notice, even the furniture was donated, costing the White’s and their church not a single penny. So they gave her what they had received for free and it seems they never came up with any other money for her at all. The footage of the single mother touring the house with her children was repeatedly aired on TV. So the White’s got it all for nothing and paraded it on TV and to their church, but the winner never actually got the help she needed to acquire the house.

Here’s something else interesting from that article:

…
Other prizes included what was billed as a new car - actually a four-year-old Saturn sedan, Fruster said - a year’s worth of paid utilities, $5,000 in new furniture, and a $500 gift certificate for groceries.
…

I would not be surprised if the car was donated too. It’s interesting to see a church playing a sort of game of chance with people in need. On top of having classes that reinforced the popular misteaching of so-called “tithing” with poor people. Fact is, back when God actually had a system of tithing in place with the Jews under the old covenant, the poor were exempt! The financial counseling class worked totally to up the money that the White’s would ultimately have sway over. If the people in a church make more money and church leaders demand a mandatory percentage be donated, that ensures the church leaders have more cash to play with. (We’ve already seen they give more in salaries than to the poor.) This was all a money scam on several levels.

Regarding how these women were played, the apostle Paul had some words for Timothy that seem applicable here.

Maybe this will help less women be so gullible. We men fall for some of this false doctrine too, but let’s all TURN AWAY from teaching that leads to greed for money and away from the people who profess such false doctrine.

Speaking of doctrine, in that very same chapter above Paul tells Timothy that he knows sound DOCTRINE. Doctrine is most important, because people like the White’s preach a false doctrine while they claim to do God’s commands. I heard a song by Kurt Carr on the radio recently, where he said we should stop being caught up in “doctrine” and “just praise God” together. It’s part of his song titled “God Great God”, not actually in the lyrics, but something he repeats several times during the song. He’s attempting to slip in a very big lie. To embrace all who simply claim “God”, regardless of how FALSE their DOCTRINE is. You see, while preachers instruct false doctrine, the singers they often hire on contract to visit their church meetings are incorporating misleading statements in their songs. That way the people who recognize false doctrine are encouraged to stick around and just “praise God”, when they are being lulled further away from God’s truth! The apostles, full of the Holy Spirit didn’t instruct anyone to remain under false doctrine. They used statements like “turn away” and “flee”. Pimps and their singing cheerleaders are trying to bring in a form of doctrinal ecumenicalism, where if everybody just says they love “God” or “Jesus” we all should accept anything that goes on with such a label. Jesus warned against such.

We should not be foolish and align ourselves with someone simply because they claim the name of the Lord, or say “praise God”.
