November 2014 City of Praise Legal Update

Legal Update 1

There have been several developments within the past 90 days that have occurred in our fight to return our Landover (Jericho) campus. It is important to note that Apostle Betty Peebles died in October 2010.  The self-appointed employee board filed suit against Bishop Joel Peebles and Chairman William Meadows days after Apostle Betty Peebles died and before she was buried.  The congregation has filed 4 suits against the self-appointed board.  The congregation WON the records case and we now have both Corporate and personal bank records. The self-elected board has dragged these cases on for over FOUR (4) years.  They have used our tithes and offerings to pay their lawyers. The only ones benefiting from this is the lawyers.  There are currently four (4) active cases.  The statute of limitations has run out.  There can be no new cases.  They have run out of tricks and have boxed themselves in.  They have avoided a jury trial for four years.  Their day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.  It is imperative that we pray for the souls that will be displaced.  It seems that they have stuck their heads in the sand.  Everyone knows that their days are numbered but them.

Dictionary:

Summary Judgment:  a court order ruling when a judge determines that there are no disputed material issues of fact in a case, and the side asking for it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.  As used here, “material issues of fact” refers to any facts that could allow a fact-finder to decide against one side. If the motion is granted, there will be no trial.

Jericho City of Shame’s New Hireling Dr. Jasmine Sculark will answer to the Janitor and Secretary! SMH!

The Six Ungodly, Self-appointed, Unelected, Rogue Board of Thieves have put another hireling in the middle of their bitter legal battle which they initiated four (4) Days after Apostle Betty Peebles died.

Jericho June 2, 2013 2 of 4   This time they have upped the ante. It has been reported that they are paying their new hireling Dr. Jasmine Sculark in the neighborhood of $300,000 per year to use her popularity to fill the seats. After all, having just 40 to 50 people worshipping in a building built to hold 10,000 people is ridiculous. The ministry built by Apostle Betty Peebles is currently meeting at two high schools under the leadership of her son Bishop Joel R. Peebles Sr. and the true long time Board of Trustees. They are carrying forth the vision of the late Bishop James and Apostle Betty Peebles. Bishop Joel & Pastor Ylawnda Peebles are operating a mega church ministry out of two local high schools. The six, ungodly crooks have commandeered our building and our assets. That is why there are only about 50 people there each Sunday. They are  desperate to get someone in there who can fill the seats to increase their declining numbers before they return to court and have to explain why they have decimated this ministry. Meanwhile, the ministry under Bishop Joel Peebles is growing and adding souls to the kingdom of God weekly. We presently have 4 active legal cases.  These six employees are not the legal board (see State Court of Special Appeals and the State Supreme Court Decision) that will be decided by a jury. We are confident that we will prevail. To God Be All The Glory!  Anything that this Rogue board has puts in place is not binding. Can you say Out of Order!!!   Please read the attached letter to Bishop Joel Peebles with prophecy from Prophet Mario Maxwell.  This was sent to Bishop Joel via Bishop Neil Ellis.  Prophet  Mario Maxwell prophesied 911 and the financial collapse.  All of his prophecies have come to pass.     PROPHETIC WORD 1
