Here is something that Apostle Fred Price Sr. and Bishop Charles Blake, and a few others could not be blamed for..
Bishop Noel Jones, Paul Crouch Sr, Paul Crouch Jr., Bishop Ken Ulmer, TD Jakes, Rick Warner, Kenton Beshore , Jan Crouch, Bishop Weeks, Juanita Bynum, Greg Laurie

Over a ½ dozen ministers lead a perverted life style. Proclaiming to be a faithful servant of the Lord, being faithful to their wives, yet having same sex relationship with another male minister, or male member of the staff.

Leading the parade of deceit is the entire Crouch Family. The high Pharisees of Christian broadcasting. With Paul Sr. and Jr. leading the way of corruption , extortion, and perverted same sex marriage. There wives are fully aware of this, and live a lifestyle that most movie stars to not even come close to. e time was the autumn of 1996, the scene a cabin in the San Bernardino mountains near Los Angeles. The cabin was owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world's largest televangelist organization with outlets on satellite, cable and terrestrial channels around the world. That much we know.
According to Lonnie Ford, an admittedly troubled, sometime drug addict who worked for the station, it was also the site of an inappropriate, and potentially scandalous, sexual encounter between himself and TBN's president and founder, Paul Crouch.
For eight years, Ford has been threatening to go public with the story and has written a lengthy manuscript detailing his allegations. The two sides have been in and out of court, money has changed hands and each has accused the other of acting in bad faith.
Crouch has denied everything, as well he might, since homosexuality is a big no-no in the Christian fundamentalist world which he inhabits, and which has provided him with a lifestyle of striking lavishness over 31 years.
The star evangelist on TBN, Benny Hinn, once announced that "God will destroy the homosexual community of America ... with fire".
For eight years, TBN managed to keep the story under wraps, persuading courts to keep the relevant documents sealed and threatening Ford with legal action if he tried to break the terms of a 1998 settlement and seek a publisher for his manuscript.
That changed this month, though, when the Los Angeles Times got wind of the affair and went public with at least the gist of it. Through interviews with some of those involved, including a friend of Ford's who helped him to write the manuscript, the Times pieced together a tawdry legal history in which Ford has demanded large sums in exchange for his silence, and TBN reacted first by paying up and then by branding him a liar and extortionist.
America may be about to witness its first juicy televangelist scandal in 15 years.
In a hastily issued statement last weekend, TBN described the allegations as "deplorable", "salacious" and "false", but avoided going into any details of what may or may not have transpired during that weekend in the mountains.
Ford's friend and co-author Sandi Mahlow, meanwhile, told the Times how Ford had broken down in tears after returning from the cabin near Lake Arrowhead and told her that he and Crouch had engaged in sexual acts.
"Lonnie has a lot of bad traits. One thing he isn't, and that's a liar," Mahlow said.
The Times also quoted a letter written by TBN lawyer Dennis Brewer, in which he recalled Crouch's youngest son, Matt, telling his then law partner, David Middlebrook: "I am devastated. I am confronted with having to face the fact that my father is a homosexual."
Middlebrook and the younger Crouch deny there was such a conversation.
In its statement, TBN painted Ford as a disturbed man with a history of relapses into drug addiction, something the Times piece discussed as well.
"It is a reprehensible fact of modern life that public persons like Dr Crouch are targets of such dishonest, false and scandalous claims," the statement lamented. "The lifelong ministry of Dr Crouch has been to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world."
But TBN also acknowledged it had agreed to a financial settlement with Ford - the Times put the figure at US$425,000 ($641,000) - rather than go to court to fight his twin allegations of sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
"This course of action was deemed less expensive and would avoid the bad publicity, time and effort that it would take to fight the false claims," the statement said. "Dr Crouch reluctantly agreed to this advice with the understanding that the accuser would go away and leave both he and TBN alone forever."
It is understandable that TBN has fought so hard to keep even the allegations out of the public eye. The affair's oddly compelling pairing of sex and sanctimony - whether substantiated or not - are a direct reminder of the scandals of the late 1980s that brought down preacher Jimmy Swaggart and Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the husband-and-wife team behind the Praise the Lord network.
Swaggart was forced to admit he was addicted to pornography and prostitutes. Jim Bakker not only admitted having an affair with an employee, a former Playboy playmate, Jessica Hahn, but was also caught trying to pay her off with US$265,000 ($400,000) from church funds - one of a string of financial improprieties that landed him in prison.
TBN shares many of the traits of those earlier televangelist outfits. Crouch and his wife, Jan - who started out as business partners of the Bakkers - like to portray themselves as humble folks doing the Lord's work and giving of themselves as they hope their viewers will give, by sending in financial contributions.
Their costumes and studio sets are as gaudy and kitsch as anything the notoriously campy Tammy Faye Bakker came up with. The motif of the station is distinctly regal, with a crest based on the British lion and unicorn (plus a religious dove). Questions have been asked about the money the Crouches have generated and how it has been spent. The Bakkers had tens of thousands of dollars of gold plating in their bathrooms, and air-conditioning in their dog kennel.
The Crouches bought a US$5 million ($7.5 million) oceanfront home in the California yachting resort of Newport Beach. They gave various explanations, suggesting the property belonged to the church and they would not be living in it, then saying the purchase was proof of the lavish rewards bestowed on them by the Almighty for their good works.
Similar lavishness appears to be in order at the couple's private offices, which occupy half of the top floor of TBN's headquarters just off a freeway in Costa Mesa, 20 minutes' drive from Newport Beach in Orange County.
The 2438 sq m personal office space is off limits to the public and press, but construction workers who helped to build it have told reporters it includes a bar and sauna, a gym, handcrafted black walnut woodwork and ornate velvet furniture.
The money issue has been exacerbated by the Crouch's singular fundraising techniques. They have some stiff competition when it comes to spinning lines to true believers and inducing them to open their wallets.
Crouch's favored rhetoric appears to be equating his network with the Lord God himself. "If you have been healed or saved or blessed through TBN and have not contributed to [the] station, you are robbing God and will lose your reward in heaven," he said on air in 1997.
The Crouches also have a singular line in defensiveness when it comes to criticism of the station - criticism that has spanned many lawsuits and included accusations from rival Christian organisations that TBN is spreading blasphemy.
"God, we proclaim death to anything or anyone that will lift a hand against this network and this ministry that belongs to you, God," Crouch said in 1997.
A few years earlier, he reacted even more vehemently to critics he characterized as "heresy hunters." "To hell with you!" he ranted during a praise-a-thon in 1991. "Quit blocking God's bridges or God's going to shoot you - if I don't."
The Crouches are positively tame compared with Benny Hinn, the network's star performer, who has preached that Adam was a superman who flew to the moon and expressed his belief that one day the dead will be raised by watching TBN from inside their coffins.
Describing his frustrations with his enemies, Hinn once expressed regret that the Bible didn't sanction murder. "Sometimes I wish God would give me a Holy Ghost machine gun. I'd blow your head off!"
Hinn was embroiled in a legal controversy a few years ago when Mario Licciardello, a private investigator he hired to look into his ministry's finances, turned against him and threatened to publicize the dirt he had dug up. The investigator died shortly afterwards, and Hinn moved his ministry from Florida to Texas.
Licciardello has now shown up in the gay sex allegations. The Los Angeles Times found a deposition in which Licciardello quoted Hinn talking about "a sexual relationship that Paul Crouch had with his chauffeur". Hinn also said: "Paul's defense was that he was drunk." Hinn has denied saying these things, but at least one other witness has corroborated them.
In the mid-1990s, the Crouches tussled with the Federal Communications Commission over the legality of some of their station licenses and only narrowly escaped being yanked off the air. In 1999, they were slapped with a lawsuit after a terminally ill woman from Virginia accused them of ripping off a novel of hers for their commercially successful end-of-the-world movie The Omega Code. The Crouches denied impropriety, but they ended up paying the woman an undisclosed amount of money.
Both Paul Jr, and Sr. have also turned former Broadway has been Tommy Tune into a paid pasty and lover to the both of them..
Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, Kenton Beshore of an Newport based Church who is terrified of Greg Lauire, Who proclaims to be in charge of all the ministries in Southern California. The three are engaging in a trial angle of three homosexual relationship. With there wives on a lifestyle payroll that why would they care who they slept with.
Ken Ulmer of Faithful Central Church in Los Angeles, and once owner of the Forum. Has watched his ministry fold to the hands of Satan, as he has become a patsy to the Crouch’s, and knee bender to many prominent business leaders in Southern California who proclaim to be God. Ulmer who has not had a service at the Forum for some time, has not had his wife at his side in Church for some time. And has been having same sex relationships with these individuals

Yet the Minister or Bishop who leads the pack of being controlled by demons of every representation is Noel Jones. Always taunting his congregation of his sexuality and what to do with it. Has been having affairs with Paul Crouch Sr, TD Jakes, Bishop Weeks, who on his honey moon with divorced Juanita Bynum, slept with Paul Crouch Sr. Noel Jones has met a reality check recently, where many ministers and individuals that were born in Upstate New York, and knew the real Chris Jones and Grace Jones, and the real Rev. Jones. Father of both talented individuals, has made threatening remarks when Challenged that he is not Chris Jones, as he also proclaims to be. His atheist of a counselor, who proclaims to be a neurosurgeon, does not have any degree in this field at all. Noel has been rumored to be leaving ministry to the amount of challenges that he has been facing. Noel is also being targeted for his soccer team, that draws only 30 percent capacity, and is about to face an audit from the IRS. Bishop Jakes maybe soon to be a grandfather, but-he is also offended other men by desiring sex, when in resistance he has not only ask their wives to see that they do not return (for fear of ruining his ministry), but these other married men's marriages wives have left them for admitting the truth. Now, that we have a high society in this era, there are indeed a movement of homosexual husbands in mega ministry. Many people may think, "oh, what a mighty move of God, black churches are finally growing into large congregations", but there are many black men being hurt by big shot high profile preachers like Bishop T. D. Jakes. Bishop T. D. Jakes has never even apoligized to these men. It is so sad that many people attend these churches only to live like dignitaries not only like Bishop T. D. Jakes. Bishop Noel Jones and many others while missing the whole point of just living right and according to God's Word
