Update: Kevin Adell, president of The Word Network, filed for bankruptcy following the jury trial that found Adell guilty of committing racial discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The court awarded victim George Bloomer $62.2 million.
Got a new FOIA response from the FBI, this one is for deceased Catholic priest Louis Gigante, brother of mafia boss Vincent Gigante. Wondering how deep the tentacles of organized crime were in the music industry.
I can recall churches requesting prayer for pastors, missionaries, police and politicians. Never recall a church asking for prayer for journalists. The @danielsilliman list of 52 people leaving Christianity Today, would be a good place to start. danielsilliman.substack.com/…

After committing racial discrimination Kevin Adell & The Word Network required to pay $62 million to pastor George Bloomer. Regarding ability to pay, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires defendants to disclose insurance coverage during discovery. trinityfi.org/president-of-t…

Not a single major media venue has covered our book or its contents, all words straight from victims as reported directly to the CDC. Not one word of coverage. Not one think tank of the old legacy establishment has mentioned the book. Not one. No professional society has bothered to reach out or otherwise amplify this content. Not one.

This week Daystar is holding its Heart for the World Telethon. Homework assignment for investigative reporters: Watch it today. Take notes on what Jonathan Cahn 🤥says about where the throne of satan is located.

New IRS update: When pastors travel on church jets for vacations, the United States tax code treats the flights as a fringe benefit. The IRS publishes in the Internal Revenue Bulletin tax rates for these flights. This tax is calculated by determining Standard Industry Fare Level Rates (SIFL) and adding a terminal fee of $58.95 which has increased by $4.47 since April 2026.

With passing of Jim Bakker we can expect journalists to submit FOIA requests to FBI for Bakker's file. In May I submitted a FOIA request for Tammy Faye. Fairly certain that Jim Bakker is one of the redacted names. 1974 Privacy Act restricts release of info for living persons.

Investigative reporter Charles Shepard identified a critical pattern: “The tactic was one Bakker would use repeatedly over the next twenty years: declare a crisis, dramatize it, often to the point of outright distortion, and wait for the viewers to respond.” trinityfi.org/jim-bakkers-da…
The red flags in Jim Bakker's ministry appeared before he started a TV ministry. Bakker's testimony of how he surrendered to God during his senior year of high school appears to be a work of fiction. trinityfi.org/jim-bakkers-da…
Tomorrow (Oct. 6) a jury is scheduled to hear the case between Kevin Adell, president of The Word Network, and televangelist George Bloomer. Since posting an article about the case, the judge issued an order regarding the motions to restrict courtroom testimony. trinityfi.org/word-network-p…
There are cases in which judges have rejected carefully presented evidence for questionable reasons when rendering judgments. The rulings make no sense. In these situations, we wonder if a judge was compromised or bribed. trinityfi.org/when-court-rul…
Judges are misusing the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine to dismiss cases not based on theology. This is an abuse of power that must be exposed and stopped. trinityfi.org/man-claiming-t…
