Oh, GAWD.  Evangelist and Multi-Level Marketing used in the same sentence.  I'm sure his website touts how this is some kind of "new science" and that mainstream science is trying to quash his business since they're all in the pockets of big oil.  The word "quantum" also has to be there somewhere as well since that has become the most abused word since "occult".

You thought of far more sentences than I to describe this. You win.

All kinds of multi-level and investment scams are pushed in churches.  The mother of a friend of mine lost several hundred thousand dollars through an investment scheme touted to her by people in her church including her minister.  The minister assisted another member of the church in talking her into selling an oceanfront lot for far less than market value.  The woman’s kids are pissed, but for some reason haven’t been able to recoup the losses or have mommy declared incompetent.

Good one, check out my picture.  My friend and her mother are White, and the church her mother goes to is a White church.  Black ministers and church elders aren’t the only church people who are crooks.
