This bunch Word of Faith Fellowship which was founded by Jane Whaley has had troubles in the past. Not surprised in the least they did this.

Not sure if this bunch falls under the “megachruch” but they are a mega cult with branches in several countries.

‘Word of Faith’ says it all. THAT is what they worship.

They needed labor and we were cheap labor — hell, free labor,” Oliveira said.

No, more like 'slave labor'... and slave labor is against the law.

Under Jane Whaley’s leadership, Word of Faith Fellowship grew from a handful of followers to about 750 congregants in North Carolina and a total of nearly 2,000 members in its churches in Brazil and Ghana and its affiliations in Sweden, Scotland and other countries.

One would get the idea that this is a big church, from the coverage, but those numbers are nothing. We have more congregants at St. Luke's Multipurpose Parochial Facility.

I can see more small but heavily abusive cults popping up in the void left by the death of mainstream churches. (Several stories come to mind. One about self-labeled Christian reptiloid cult.)

Unfortunately, I don’t really see a way to stop this from happening except for some sort of mass education campaign. And if you need that sort of education to avoid it would the education even work?
