Jericho Secretary/COO Denise Killen answers the $27,000.00 question? View the actual docs

 Editor Note: When we make a mistake here at People of Praise we are the first to admit that we were wrong. Earlier we reported that Denise Killen withdrew $ 27,000.00 from the church bank account. We were wrong . It actually was $27,020.00.     Our Bad!!

Res ipsa loquitur,  is a legal Latin phrase which translates to “the thing speaks for itself. “,   Fortunately the documents below will speak for themselves, as Denise Killen developed selective amnesia.

 Jericho City of Praise church Secretary/COO and infamous  leader of the Six Unholy, Ungodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue board  of thieves had to answer the $27,020.00 question under oath.  On January 3, 2014 when asked about the cash withdrawal  Denise Killen replied in so many words “I-ou-kno”.

Jericho Church Secretary/C.O.O. admits to signing Apostle Peebles name on bank documents

MD Court Judge Dwight Jackson once again denies us our day in court . By not allowing us to present our evidence in a trial in court his biased decision allows more time for further fraud and abuse. Jericho church Secretary/COO Denise Killen admits under oath during the deposition phase of the pretrial activity to signing Apostle Betty Peebles name on the bank signature card just about five (5) days before her death to gain access to church funds, withdrawing $27,000.00 cash out of the church account and other egregious acts.

 

 See:    Denise Killen’s own words from her deposition taken at the bottom of this page.                

                          You be the judge!

———————————————————————————————————————

Biased Judge further delays our return to our property at the Jericho City of Praise campus. But not to worry the City of Praise members still have (4) more active cases in the system. This was just a bump in the road

In a joint statement, the plaintiffs called Jackson’s decision “appalling,” because it “allows six defendants who admitted under oath to committing fraud, theft and forgery to remain in the Maryland Mega-church until the appeal or their 4 other cases go forward.” The plaintiffs cited the deposition where one of the members of the board, Killen, admitted to signing Betty Peebles name on documents and taking cash in the amount of $27,000.

In a letter to his congregation, Joel Peebles said that there are several more legal matters to be settled and the case is far from over.

“While the legal system has its twists and turns, the ways of Christ aids us in our steadfastness,” he wrote.  “While this recent case is being sent for appeal and the three remaining cases are on the road to victory, let us continue our standards of unyielding love and forgiveness.”

Legal Update: The City of Praise Congregations Articles Case

People of Praise of the City of Praise: We Know the Power of Praise!

judges-gavel
Continue to Praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to pray without ceasing. Yesterday Prince George’s County Circuit Court Judge Dwight Jackson once again made a ruling against us in our Articles Case. People of Praise not to worry, This is not the end! It is far from over! This ruling by this Judge Jackson is not final! The ruling is still reviewable! We will Appeal this! Remember in addition, we still have multiple lawsuits pending, one which is not in front of Judge Jackson. It is our opinion that the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County – Civil System is broken and has failed us. We believe that Judge Dwight Jackson consistently violates rules of civil procedure with impunity. We have lost faith in the Prince George’s County circuit court system. In our opinion we believe that there should be a review of the performance and the decisions made by Judge Dwight Jackson. While this is surely a bump in a crooked the road, our God will make every crooked road straight. In the end we still win!
People of Praise let us be perfectly clear, it is our opinion that when the depositions taken from these six Unholy, UnGodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue, board of thieves are released, you will soon know what we have suspected, that money has been taken. We believe that some have enriched themselves off of church tithes and offerings. You will see the words from their own mouths. Denise Killen will answer questions about why she withdrew over “$25,000.00 in Cash” out of the church bank account. Dorothy Williams will be asked about withdrawals in Cash amounting to $13,000.00. Clarence Jackson the janitor, well, he has to answer to over $47,000.00 of funds. He gets over $91,000.00 for a salary, and that’s not enough. The Secretary Denise Killen admits under oath, that she used an electronic signature stamp three (3) days before Apostle died to get her name added to the bank accounts signature card. Hmm!
We believe this is criminal. There will be more to come.

Bishop Joby Brady and the Red Hot Inconvenient Truth about the hostile takeover attempt

On Sunday September 22, 2013 Pastor Joby Brady from the Potter’s House North in Dallas, Texas came to the City of Praise church to bring us a word.

 Wow!  We were not expecting this.  What a high praise.

212a

     ** Click this picture to begin watching the video**

 Bishop Brady first broke it down, he exposed the Red Hot Inconvenient Truths about the hostile takeover of our church, the firing, the lying, the cover up and the motives of those behind it.  The Truth will set you free.  

Bishop Brady also proclaimed to the City of Praise Church that our pastor has an Apostolic anointing on him and from this day forward he will be called Bishop Joel R. Peebles Sr.

Now run and tell that!

The September 2012 Ruling by the COURT of SPECIAL APPEALS of MARYLAND

*** THIS HAS BEEN RE-POSTED DUE TO THE MANY REQUEST FROM OUR VISITORS TO THIS SITE***

************************

THE DECISION FROM THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS:

Which Reverses the ruling by the lower Circuit Court of Maryland

Rejoice City of Praise

Victory Is Ours!!!

 This is the Opinion From the Court of Special Appeals

The Six Unholy, Ungodly, Self-Appointed Rogue Employees have already put their spin on this document.

Apostle Betty taught us not to take anyone’s word but to get the facts for ourselves. Knowledge Is Power.

It’s important to note when reading this document and attempting to understand what the court is saying, that the term Summary Judgement  means a decision can be made without a trial.  It is interesting to note that the 6 rogue employees partitioned the court to have Pastor Joel and Chairman Meadows to pay for their court costs.  The court denied that and instead they ordered the Six Unholy, Ungodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue employees to pay one-third of the court costs.   Hmm!  Didn’t see that coming.

Jericho City of Praise: A 10,000 seat sanctuary with 40 People

               June 2, 2013 WORSHIP SERVICE UPDATE:

 Ever wonder what the Jericho City of Praise worship service under the leadership of the six UnGodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue Employees looks like one year after firing Pastor Joel and excommunicating the leaders & members?  Well Saints wonder no more. This is what you get when the Janitor, the Bookkeeper and the church Secretary do a hostile take over of the things of God.  

Below is a copy of an email recently sent to the UnGodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue 6.   

To:  Clarence Jackson, Dorothy Williams, Denise Killen,

         Clifford Boswell, Gloria MaGruder, Linda Pyles

The link below shows a clip of your service from June 2, 2013. The sanctuary at Jericho City of Praise seats 10,000 people, there are 40 people in the building. This is morally reprehensible and a reflection of your inability to run, build or grow a church. Unless God himself ordains it no one will follow Barbara Colvin-Etheridge, Rodney Walker or any other hireling.
Can you six still claim that this is what Apostle Betty Peebles wanted.  Her vision was to have a 10,000 seat church for 40 people. It’s ok to admit you are wrong and repent .
God grows whatever he sanctions. We have been at Roosevelt High School and run out of space. We are at Forestville High School and in the first week exceeded your congregation for a month combined. The reason is simple we are only concerned about people not going to hell for eternity and not our egos or playing church. We are not concerned about growing a mega church. Lives are at stake for eternity and you all want to play church, fatten your own pocketbooks and use man-made efforts to grow something that is clearly dead, dying and defunct. it is time to admit you are wrong and do what is right.
The entire community should be outraged to see what has transpired. The Jericho City of Praise now has 40 people in the building because you six want to utilize the church to enrich yourselves personally. Shame on you.
Jericho June 2, 2013 4 of 4
Note:
         The hostile takeover of Jericho by the Six UnGodly, Self-Appointed, Rogue employees has temporarily given them millions of dollars worth of property and millions of dollars in the bank. These six don’t care if the church grows or not, they are not in danger of losing any property because everything is paid in full, the church is not dependent on tithes & offerings to pay the bills.  All they have to do is pay the bills because they have plenty of money. The “cash only” parking for the redskins stadium along with the monthly rent taken in at the Jericho warehouse park provides ample ‘Mad Money’ for them. Michael Freeman can’t claim he is helping out this church because Jericho has more money than his ministry.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Why Are We Called The City of Praise Church?

Many have asked why we call ourselves The City of Praise.  The best person to answer this question is the one who changed the name of the church from Jericho City of Praise to The City of Praise, Apostle Betty P. Peebles

After the death of Elder John Peebles,  Apostle Betty said during a 2005 New Years sermon, that she was changing the name of the church from Jericho City of Praise to The City of Praise.  So, why have these six self-appointed, unholy, ungodly, rogue crooks  who say they are carrying out her wishes refuse to do this?  They fought against it after she died, they refuse to change the signs, they refuse to support the name change.  They claim that they are keeping with her vision.  How?  You be the judge as to who is actually carrying out Apostle’s vision. Apostle Betty and Elder Joel

Legal Update: On the members Records Case and the Articles Case

The Legal Update on our two cases filed by the members against the Six Ungodly, Unholy, Self-Appointed, Rogue Crooks:

                   VICTORY

XCYU9CCA1TWPW4CAFKFPWRCAL96MCKCA6R9Q07CA33XVJDCA6QX7O5CAG9ZFUVCAHK5IS4CABEMY0ICAL1PBJ9CAWGS3PJCACMBWC7CAJBPOEZCAOX4MC3CAMUJOWJCAS00NLPCAKB7T66CAQORKRW

  The Records Case:

  • This is the case where the members have requested the financial records of the church. The 6 employees have repeatedly refused our request which is against the law.
  • Our lawyers sent subpoenas to all of the banks.  The crooks tried to block us from getting the bank records.  On 3/7 we went to court and their attempt to block us was DENIED!   VICTORY!   GOD is in Control!
  • Trial May 29th -30th

The Articles Case:

  • This is the case that says that the 6 unelected, ungodly crooks were never elected as trustees by the congregation
  • The motion to vacate that Judge Jackson allowed the six employees to file delayed our case 21/2 months.  The new date is April 26th. This is clearly a stall tactic. This is the second motion on the same issue which was denied by another judge.
  • These delay tactics have caused us to lose faith in the judicial system.  Our faith is in God!
