Jezebel Spirit Loose in the City
People of praise it has come to our attention that the Jezebel Spirit is at it again. While searching online court records to see if any of the six rogue employee/members have been arrested yet, I came across this interesting document. To quote a legal saying “the thing speaks for itself”,
Well, Well, Well that lying,controlling, manipulating, greedy spirit is at it again.

The devil wanted to get Brother Tree out of the way because of his role in the ‘Occupy Jericho’ movement. The fact is that Tree was an out spoken supporter of Pastor Joel Peebles and denounced the rude, disrespectful manner in which they spoke to and were treating him.
Now the devil is after Brother Rod Chavez (an Attorney in the Legal Ministry at the church) for his role in the movement. During the ‘Occupy Jericho’ movement which coincided with the thirty day Fast, God revealed to Brother Chavez an avenue for the members to legally get our church back. Like a voice crying in the wilderness Brother Chavez kept asking the question “SHOW ME THE $$MONEY”. The six rogue members seized on an opportunity to try to remove that voice out of play by filing a Temporary Restraining Order against him. As the bible says, if you take a brother to the heathen courts “SHAME ON YOU”!!
1 Corinthians 6 Lawsuits Among Believers
1 If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church![a] 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? 6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another—and this in front of unbelievers!
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
Shame on you Jackson!! Shame on you Clarence Jackson!!
Read the bible Bro!
Mad Firing Frenzy Claims another Victim
A spirit of retaliation has over taken the six members of the rogue board of trustees led by Alma Denise Killen and Clarence Jackson. This group that seized control of the church in a hostile takeover have committed yet another act of defiance this time against one of Jericho’s finest. Yesterday Sunday Dec 11, 2011 one of the most humble, spirit filled and caring brothers in our ministry Trenillo Walters (known as Tree) was fired by the rogue six. Brother Tree the Supervisor of the Audio Ministry at the Jericho City of Praise became the latest victim of an ‘Out of Control’ rogue board bent on retaliation spawn by a vengeful, controlling, Jezebel spirit. The unelected rogue board led by Alma Denise Killen and Clarence Jackson with Gloria McLam-McGruder as a figure head reportedly became incensed by Brother Tree’s participation in both the Occupy Jericho protest march held in early November and the intercessory prayer vigils held on the past two Sunday mornings prior to the one unified 10:00 am service. The unelected rogue board’s decision to blatantly disrespect our current Pastor Joel R. Peebles Sr. as well as to retaliate against Brother Tree is another sad chapter in this hostile takeover story. When they changed the locks on the church buildings November 1st, and then lied about the reason for doing it, that was the catalyst that God used to push Brother Tree into that movement. The six rogue members finally retaliated against him on Sunday.
Witnesses reported that Clarence Jackson placed Alma Denise Killen in front of the door to the Audio Sound equipment room yesterday morning along with two PG County Sheriff deputy’s to keep Brother Tree (the Audio Supervisor) from entering that room. He was later fired. This controlling Jezebel spirit that has a firm grip on these six rogue members has also claimed other victims. This mad firing frenzy has hit long time Attorney for the church Bobby Henry, long time Chairman of the board of trustees William Meadows, trustee Anne Wesley and one the maintenance staff Mr. Smallwood. Mr. Smallwood was fired for helping out Pastor Joel and First Lady Ylawnda. Get this, myself and others included never knew the first name of Chairman Meadows until the six rogue members sued him in court because Apostle Peebles (mom) always called him Chairman Meadows, Hmmm!!
Brother Tenillo Walters has been a member of the Jericho City of Praise for 36 years. He has unselfishly served the audio ministry for over 15 years since before the new edifice was built. He has served under both of the founders of Jericho, Bishop James R. Peebles Senior and Apostle Betty P Peebles, their three sons Pastor James Peebles Jr., Elder John R. Peebles Minister of Music and Pastor Joel R. Peebles Sr. Brother Tree has many years of experience working in the audio & visual production area for large corporations such as Bet and ESPN to name a few. Over the years he has dedicated his god given talent to make Jericho’s audio ministry a ministry of excellence. He often comes in early and either stays late or takes work home with him. Brother Tree has also propped up this ministry by bringing and utilizing his own personal equipment. When there are special event at church such as a conference or concert, Brother Tree could be seen hauling in needed speakers, sound boards, cables & wires, etc., you name it. He transformed the Audio ministry into a ministry of excellence.
Kudos to you! Brother Tree
The unelected board retaliated yesterday by firing Trenillo Walters, head of the Audio Ministry at Jericho City of Praise.

“So many times, I have to write My Take on the inappropriate actions of a Pastor, this time, however, I have got to take the time to blast the church staff attempted hostile takeover of both the spiritual and financial leadership of Jericho City Baptist Church. Based on the staff’s recent court depositions, they have proven to me that most of what the members are saying is true, they are, in fact, operating in the most ungodly manner towards the Shepherd of that house, Joel Peebles.”

Today Volume #3 features our own Clifford Boswell.
Clifford Boswell one of the six rogue employees/members of the Jericho City of Praise church suing Pastor Joel Peebles. He is noted for many things one of which is his admitting under oath that he gets paid $200.00 every other week, however he doesn’t really know why. Hmmm!!! Maybe to help with this hostile takeover. You were someone people thought could be trusted you, WHY? Boswell states that he didn’t even know the Apostle that well. Don’t forget, you can read his complete testimony on the website: www.peopleofpraisemd.wordpress.com under the deposition section.
A new letter was sent to both the board and to the managing partners of O’Malley, Miles, Nylen & Gilmore the law firm where the rogue six’s attorney works. Please read the letter under the tab “Letters to The Alleged Board” and respond accordingly. Or click here to get to the page.
