Here's a general accounting principle for you to mull over. Plus, it is completely legal!! Everyone at the ROC gets paid by check since mid-October. They all used to get their "blessing" every week in cash, anywhere from $25 to $125, totally under the table with no paper trail. However, for some reason, they have to all be blessed by check. But now, they get blessed on the 1st

Guess what!!!  Six weeks ago at a service, Pastor G read an email he got from a first time visitor who was impressed with everything going on at the ROC.  As he read the email, the person described the details like Jerome in the food pantry, the Soldiers and their duties, the In4Life dancers, etc.  This first time visitor who had never been to the ROC EVER knew names and details about the setup t

    Hey, how come anybody who has skills, an intellect, a heart, a conscience, goals for their life, love for their fellow Christians, and is not a "yes" person are in one form or another pushed out or removed from the ROC, and all the flunkies, minions, and sycophants are left behind?  In a normal business model, an organization usually nurtures people who can help the business grow an

QuoteEmma CFYI: Needs work if any of you fancy it.  Just thought it was funny!!  The wikipedia site has inaccuracies in its info just like the ROC.  But I'll bet there is a better chance of the wikipedia site getting fixed before the ROC does!!  Also, the ones that "fancy" helping or improving the ROC are the first ones that are ostracized, removed, or alienated before they are di

Newsflash!!!   The love of Jesus flows through the ROC.  Imagine, if you will, a place that is fuzzy on the outside but cold as the pits of perdition in their insides.  A place where the "leadership" is elitist and stuck-up to the max.  A place that puts on a false front to the masses, but are ruder and colder than liquid nitogren to people they have worked with and stood beside as staf

The Love of Jesus Health Clinic is one of the over 133 ministries of the ROC.  It is a free health clinic that started under another church.  It gives medical care to people that are at 200% of the federal poverty level.    The church that started the clinic folded and it was absorbed by the ROC about 3+ years ago.  All of the original people have left since the ROC took over due to various reaso

    People need to check out the Love of Jesus Health Clinic situation.  Three weeks ago Pastor G said that the LOJ Health Cinic received $174,000 in grants last year.  However, they constantly say they are struggling.       The rent for the clinic is $3000/month or $36,000/year.  If utilities are maybe $600/month or $7200/year ($43,200/year total), then where is the difference (over $130,000)?
