The Petra Group complaints are dated from several years ago. I take it that Jeremy skipped town and has now set up similar business out east: https://www.corporationwiki.com/p/2k384k/jeremy-cocomise.<br /><br />Jeremy, if you come across this post (I suspect you routinely read around to see what people are saying about you and your den of vipers), it seems Gator Marketing is quite a popular name for a business: https://www.corporationwiki.com/search/results?term=Gator%20Marketing I bet it was a challenge to make Gator Marketing LLC appear among the top hits on Google, eh? Or is that why you ditched it and went with Skyway Media Solutions Inc (https://www.corporationwiki.com/p/2mizvx/skyway-media-solutions-inc)... which (as is typical with COG'ers) was not your original idea: original registration expired:https://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Brandon/skyway-media-solutions-inc/134582095.aspx<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-17598398686096712212018-04-15T15:43:47.122-07:002018-04-15T15:43:47.122-07:001:48 -

Yup, knew someone who was into that too who was in WCG. <br /><br />Speaking of selling and recruiting - <br /><br />I do recall one individual once (No, not telling where or whom) who took up an <b>entire service</b> trying to hype up some homeopathic remedy - And NO, I am not making this up - some type of vitamin - while the pastor didn't have the balls to stop the person from speaking! Totally took over the person's time! (No, this wasn't during the Armstrong or the Tkach, Sr, Era, it was just barely after the fact - such a thing would NEVER have happened in the Armstrong or Tkach Sr Era). Everyone in the dang congregation was wondering what in the heck was going on! When was the guy with the cane going to come out like at the Apollo and pull the person out?! It went on and on and on and on, and since the pastor didn't do anything, the pastor simply gave up his preaching time. When the person stopped, there was no time for anything else. So a final hymn and prayer and we all got up as dazed and confused as ever. :p<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-12913972471981032152018-04-15T13:48:09.367-07:002018-04-15T13:48:09.367-07:00Before Herbie died, my church area was filled with...Before Herbie died, my church area was filled with members selling Amway, Shaklee, air purifiers, knife sets, pots and pan sets, and whatever else people.

The problem is that Gerald Flurry would simply forward the member's complaint about the abusive minister directly to the abusive minister for him to deal with however he wanted to.<br /><br />The corrupt and immoral PCG tyrants are used to dishing out satanic abuse with no way for the defenceless members to protect themselves or get any justice whatsoever. This arrogant and malicious behavior of the PCG goons can show up outside of the church too. The difference is that when Flurry's corrupt leaders do their dirty deeds outside of the church, the outsiders that they try to scam can report their bad behavior to the proper authorities to be investigated honestly.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-72495267622831366652018-04-14T18:17:13.744-07:002018-04-14T18:17:13.744-07:00This guy has got a guaranteed Job working for Dave...This guy has got a guaranteed Job working for Dave Pack should he ever want it.

Lay members may not realize it, but in most states it is fraudulent to deliberately write checks that are going to bounce. The business owners in PCG should be more financially savy, and should know better than to use kiting schemes, and bogus billings. I was quite shocked to learn several decades ago that brethren were using their credit cards to pay their tithes, and ministers were telling members to borrow money they’d never have to pay back because “the end” was so close. There are church people who, if presented with an either or situation, will pay their tithes rather than their income taxes, because the IRS can’t prevent their salvation.<br /><br />But, you’re not allowed to be ambivalent about your ACOG, even in current times when there are hundreds of splinters teaching nearly identical doctrines. Each has got their members’ ‘nads in a spiritual vice, because each teaches they are the one and only. Apparently, most COGlodytes are oblivious to the basic laws of probability.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-21005656163924259522018-04-14T13:58:01.734-07:002018-04-14T13:58:01.734-07:00You're giving ideas to Dave Packman,You're giving ideas to Dave Packman,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-10822821056772413752018-04-14T13:55:32.304-07:002018-04-14T13:55:32.304-07:00I had something similar happen to me while in the ...I had something similar happen to me while in the WCG. I had purchased life insurance through a locally ordained man who was my agent. Payment for the insurance was through a automatic bank withdrawal through my bank. The problem happened when I attempted to cancel the life insurance due to my then wife divorcing me. I notified my agent of my desire to cancel ten days before the next scheduled day for withdrawal and he said it would be canceled immediately. Ten days later my account was withdrawn. I called my my agent to complain and he just told that it was canceled. Thirty days later another automatic bank withdrawal happened. I immediately called the life insurance company who gave a very weak excuse about it taking a month to get out of the system. Again, thirty days later another automatic bank withdrawal happened. This time it took a visit to the bank and a payment to the bank to stop the theft.<br /><br />It looks as if the Petra group is taking full advantage of this same scheme although to a higher degree. These members of the PCG are participants of fraud and theft if guilty and should use use the biblical example of reimbursement five times over to their claimants.<br />What About The Truthnoreply@blogger.com
