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

February 8, 2014 by peopleofpraisemd

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.

* Please take time and review the documents below: Deposition Pg, Bank Withdrawal Slip, Bank Signature Card *

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

February 6, 2014 by peopleofpraisemd

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

February 5, 2014 by peopleofpraisemd

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

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.

The rogue board lying about the numbers in attendance on Sundays

January 15, 2014 by peopleofpraisemd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCota9BGIsA

Rumor has it that the self appointed, unelected, rogue employee crooks report that there are 400-500 people attending Sunday service every week at OUR CHURCH in Landover (not Jericho). Not so. They now only have one service at 9:30AM on Sunday. Barbara Covin is the preacher. Click the link to view the most recent service on 1/12/14. Not even 75 people are in attendance. This is not the vision of Apostle and Bishop Peebles! Please note that the video was taken late in the service to capture the late comers. Liar, liar pants on FIRE!

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

December 9, 2013 by peopleofpraisemd

** 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!

Why Are We Called The City of Praise Church?

March 26, 2013 by peopleofpraisemd

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.
