Guru and Hindu temple under fire...

image source

Self proclaimed guru and founder of the Hindu Temple of Georgia, Dr. Commander Selvam, recently caught the eye of Gwinnett County District Attorney, Danny Porter, when he was arrested last October on allegations of practicing medicine without a license and fraudulently overcharging his follower's credit cards when they paid for services.

According to a few disenchanted followers, the Dr. (not really a doctor) grossly overcharged their credit cards when they paid for services and then filed lawsuits against them and their families when they disputed the charges. He also allegedly dispensed medical advice and attempted to heal them through rituals. Fortunately for him and all other "religious healers" in Georgia, state law regarding practicing medicine without a license does not apply to faith healers (wth?). All charges against Selvam, whose real name is Annamalai Annamalai, were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Selvam thinks people are just jealous because "[He's] so rich, famous, and happy,” and he is confident that his congregation of 5000 will continue to go strong. He has no plans to relocate his temple because he feels that he has done nothing wrong and that god is supporting him.

One reason for the temple's ongoing success may be the doctor's ability to do everything, yes everything! Below are screenshots of websites owned and operated by the doctor that range from black magic solutions to nutrition plans:

7 year old boy takes off in dad's car to avoid going to church...

A 7 year old boy in Utah led police on a crazy car chase after someone reported "a child driving recklessly."

After several minutes of 45 mile per hour driving and stop sign running, the tiny driver pulled into a driveway, ran into the house, and was glad to have escaped the soul crushing torture chamber known as church. No citations were issued because the reckless driver is basically a 50 pound fetus.

Jesus in a cabinet door again!

image source

Erica Conner from Wichita Falls, Texas believes Jesus is living in her kitchen cabinet door.

After sitting through an inspirational presentation related to the book "90 Minutes in Heaven," Conner came home and immediately noticed Jesus in her cabinet door. Things took a dramatic turn later on that day when she noticed that cabinet Jesus was shedding a tear. "It makes sense that he's crying. We live in a broken world," said Conner. Read More

This is not the first time Jesus has appeared on a cabinet door. In August 2007, a Connecticut couple noticed a foggy image of christ (or chewbacca) on one of their kitchen cabinets:

and in July 2008, a woman in Tennessee snapped a photo in her kitchen after her brother's funeral and was shocked to see Jesus himself (or a creepy blob) in her kitchen cabinet:

Why can't Jesus just get a job and stop sitting around on kitchen cabinets?

He is also accused of murdering his wife and two children in their Columbia, Illinois home in May 2009. Sheri Coleman, 31, and her children Gavin, 9, and Garett, 11, were strangled to death in their beds and allegedly found by Chris Coleman when he returned from the gym on the morning of May 5, 2009.

A large scale investigation has been open since May and the evidence uncovered so far points to Coleman as the killer.



The family of Coleman's slain wife Sheri have even filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him and have vowed to prevent Coleman from profiting in any way.



Joyce Meyer Ministries has been sympathetic to Coleman throughout this ordeal, releasing a heart felt statement regarding the triple homicide. Read the statement here. The ministry has also been fighting hard not to release 400 pages of records they have on Coleman as a former employee, but they were recently ordered to release the documents for the pending wrongful death suit against Coleman. These documents will reveal employee interviews, travel itineraries, complaints and disciplinary action, possible life insurance policies, and more.

The case has been brought back into the spotlight with the allegation that Coleman texted his mistress during his murdered family's funeral. Coleman allegedly shared a secret cell phone account and credit card with his mistress Tara Lintz and intended to marry her in 2010. Oy ve, we'll have to see what other seedy details emerge during the wrongful death suit and pending murder trial.

Pat Robertson thinks a recently passed hate crime bill would protect people who have sex with ducks...

P' Rob is at it again with his crazy ideas! In this video, televangelist Pat Robertson expresses his concerns that a recently passed hate crime bill will protect duck fondlers and pedophiles. What a perverse thought! a thought that can only originate from a televangelist...

Can't a guy masturbate in a park in peace? - Remembering T.D Jakes' son's public indecency fiasco...

On a sexy night in January 2009, Pastor T.D Jakes' 29 year old stepson Jermaine Jakes, was arrested for exposing himself to 2 undercover officers in a Dallas, TX Park.

The officers alleged that they saw Jermaine Jakes walk into a wooded area with a posse of gay men and upon following him they discovered the man fondling himself....According to the detectives, Mr. Jakes walked up to them and continued yanking his doodle as he looked them in the eye...



Ironically, his famous step father has publicly condemned homosexuality in the past, telling the Dallas Voice that "he would never hire a sexually active gay person to his ministry." It seems that pastor T.D. Jakes has loosened his position on homosexuality since this incident with his son.

Female pastor's porn secret past?

Pastor Melissa Scott, widow of televangelist mogul Gene Scott, is a pastor at the University Cathedral in Downtown Los Angeles.



She is also an alleged ex-porn star that went by the name of 'Barbie Bridges' and starred in several porn movies for her ex-husband Paul Pastore's adult entertainment company, Barbie Bridges Enterprises.



Of course, Pastor Scott has denied all porn related allegations and in an interview with Marie Claire magazine, she maintained her position. Others in the adult industry however, couldn't seem to keep their mouths shut. Playboy Playmate Elke Jeinsen said "Melissa was there, always dancing for Doc [gene scott] topless, showing her tits right away."

This whole mess began when Pastor Melissa Scott's husband Gene died from complications of prostate cancer and she took over the pulpit at University Cathedral. According to the Marie Claire article, shortly after the pastor's first sermon, an anonymous person sent X-Rated Easter cards to the congregation that showed a nude woman who looked a lot like Pastor Scott. "One image showed the woman with her legs spread wide, Virgin Mary and baby Jesus postage stamps covering her privates. Another featured a "See you Sunday!" banner plastered across her bare chest; underneath, it read: "The Church Where You Can Do Anything ... Anything." read the complete article.

It was enough to ignite an online storm of speculation so bad that numerous attack sites sprouted up and the pastor's Wikipedia page had to be removed due to constant vandalism.

Despite everything, there is currently very little online information about Barbie Bridges or the supposed 'Miss Nude CanAm Exotic' pageant she allegedly won, and the accusation that Pastor Melissa Scott is Barbie Bridges is unsupported and probably untrue. It still makes for a juicy story though.....

What ever happened to Puerto Rican Jesus?

Back in 2007, a greasy man claiming to be the incarnation of Jesus Christ made his public debut.


Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda received media attention from around the world and even CNN stopped to interview him, finding out that modern day Jesus was an ex-heroin addict, a professional thief, and a proud wearer of a 666 tattoo. In fact, many of his followers were running to the nearest tattoo parlor to get the 666 symbol tattooed on their bodies to show their dedication to Puerto Rican Jesus...

PR Jesus was against the church and regularly protested and interrupted church services by smashing religious idols with his smile...He also had a thing for Rolex watches, Lexus cars, and hot women....He planned to rule the world....



Fast forward to 2009--we have a new president, a crappy economy, and PR Jesus has just lost a heated divorce settlement case against his second wife, who he calls a “gold-digging lesbian.” The case was riddled with tension and incoherent ramblings about 'uncircumsicion'...

Thomas Manton IV - african porn scandal

Televangelist Thomas Manton the fourth, was arrested by Kenyan Police last month for allegedly "trafficking pornographic material and being in Kenya illegally." more on this story

The good rev claims to have predicted 911 in 1997 and his online bio states: "In his revivals and conferences, multitudes have witnessed the Holy Spirit making the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dumb speak - and healing incurable diseases and performing many other creative miracles."

Most baffling is why he felt the need to traffic porn across the world.. maybe his internet connection is clogged by God...

Below is a clip of the good rev prophetically shrieking out the phrase "what do you want to be known for...when it's ALL ovah?!!"
