Ep. 83
Bonnie Parker gave Kenneth Copeland’s ministry tens of thousands of dollars, possibly hundreds of thousands, hoping to be healed. She died believing she hadn’t given enough. When her family asked where the money went, they got an accounting firm’s opinion about a $20 million jet.
Joshua and Will dig into the prosperity gospel’s flying fleet: Copeland’s five aircraft and private airport, Creflo Dollar’s Project G650, Jesse Duplantis’s Falcon 7X, and a Gulfstream bought from Tyler Perry. They also cover the laws that keep the books shut. That includes a Senate investigation that ended without a single subpoena, a 1984 law that ties the IRS’s hands, one church audit in all of fiscal 2014, and an 18,000-square-foot “parsonage” that pays no property tax.
Nobody has proven any of this illegal. That’s sort of the point.
