Parents take note - even highly intelligent people with everything going in their favor can be sucked into cults. (JRP is somewhat of a celebrity, is incredibly talented and accomplished, and independently wealthy.) He is a great "catch" for Kip not only because of his wealth, but also because of his fame and "coolness." He is someone who can help bring greater numbers of additional money-contributing members into the fold, meaning more money to "advance God's Kingdom," aka, more money for ministry salary and benefits.ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882785561994571540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825487692627607933.post-3519679136598474402014-07-12T10:48:01.299-07:002014-07-12T10:48:01.299-07:00"People who are selfish can be discipled by s..."People who are selfish can be discipled by someone else, unless they bring something BIG to the table, and I'm not afraid to say money could be one of those things..." Tim Kernan-ICC World Sector Leader<br /><br />This explains why the red carpet is always laid out for pseudo-celebrities like J.R.P. of the CAICC. When J.R.P. decides he's had enough of the world, wants to repent and get restored he just throws down cash and he's in like flynn. While regular rank and file members have to jump through hoops to get back in the good graces of the church. Can't help but see the similarities shared by Kip McKean, his WSL(s), and the Pharisees whom Jesus rebuked in Matthew 15-<br /><br /> Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b] But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:<br /><br /> “‘These people honor me with their lips,<br /> but their hearts are far from me.<br /> They worship me in vain;<br /> their teachings are merely human rules.’[c]” <br /><br />Sadly for J.R.P. the only reason why ICC Evangelists "disciple" him is because he's a cash cow for the church. Otherwise according to Tim Kernan, people like J.R.P. would be "discipled by someone who is 10 miles away from leadership..." http://torontodisciples.org/sermons/<br />Listed under sub-section TorontoICC-Staff Meetings (25-27m)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825487692627607933.post-21285941701148784282014-07-11T12:20:16.010-07:002014-07-11T12:20:16.010-07:00Thanks for commenting.

Not sure how they do it, but I would wager that although I am thoroughly convinced that the way money is handled in the church and it's front organizations is immoral and unethical, I'd also imagine that they are smart enough to carry it out in a way that complies with the letter of the law. That is the pattern that we can observe in many large businesses. To do otherwise would endanger the cash flow. They wouldn't do otherwise unless it was considerably easier and they were relatively sure that they wouldn't get caught, or if they did get caught, that the repercussions would not be too great. So in conclusion, who knows, maybe you are right? If so, "hope"-fully it will be thoroughly documented (forgive me the pun)ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882785561994571540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825487692627607933.post-19742384909060620702014-07-11T12:15:51.820-07:002014-07-11T12:15:51.820-07:00Sadly, that is standard operating procedure for Ki...Sadly, that is standard operating procedure for Kip's ministries.

I'm sitting on a story about $3.1 million dollars that he had sent to an offshore account back in the "old" days, leading to one of his administrators leaving in disgust. And that was only one transfer of what we can conclude was a long string of similar transfers. And yes, the ICCM is just another vehicle to transfer more wealth from others to Kip and Co.

Ooh, they only answer, 'More! more! more!'" My mind is blown at how much I wasted in donations to Kip and friends. I left the ICC shortly before "tagging" was started .. It is sad that charlatans can and do abuse people's noble motives in order to take money from them, regardless if they are church members or non-members.

It would be interesting to know how much of the money raised was actually going to support new and/or existing churches and how much of it was used for administrative purposes such as a pay increase for those couples tapped to be so called "World Sector Leaders." Curious to know how the McKeans benefited from this Missions Drive. Were they also given a pay increase?
