Pentecostals Don't Drink The Water in Memphis!
Apparently there is something in the water in Memphis, TN affecting Pentecostals.
Right on the heels of the current scandal involving a well known Pentecostal pastor in that town (see other thread) comes word that a prominent member of another Memphis Pentecostal church (this one not UPC because the UPC is too liberal) was arrested on Halloween for laundering around $3 million dollars of drug money through a car dealership or two he owns.
I know someone who personally knows this person and they are totally shocked and hoping that somehow the money laundering was the deed of two employees who were arrested along with him and that he is innocent.
The arrested man is very conservative and is very involved with this ultra con church so this is quite a shock to everybody that knows him.
You can google "car dealership drug laundering arrest Memphis TN" for news stories of the arrest but nothing really about the connection to the church other than one TV station news report where friends insist he must be innocent because they have known him for years to be an upstanding Christian man.
Bottom line is if you are Pentecostal and live in Memphis, TN do not drink the water!!!!

You might want to check the definition of gossip.

I'm having my water tested. And I don't even live in Memphis.

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

This is nothing compared to my section in Louisiana back around 1979-1980. In about one years time our section (yes the section not the district) had lost our sectional presbyter, sectional youth director, and sectional Sunday School director to adultery. Back then I jokingly told my pastor he had better not drink the water!
