I hope they go after the attorney, too. A signature can't be notarized a day later. It must be witnessed in real time and notarized at that time. Did he finish last in his class?!Wow, the POA was not properly notarized by the attorney/friend/church member. Interesting that attorney owns adjacent property to where Mica died.
So much has come to light that I cannot believe anyone in his former congregation could be fooled any longer by this con man. I refuse to refer to him as a preacher. I hope he never again is afforded that opportunity.he is a smooth talking preacher. Probably believes what comes out of his won mouth... once he says it,
Here's hoping that whatever he calls himself, no one else refers to him ever again as their pastor. I fear for anyone who has the misfortune of meeting him, especially any women or girls.I am not evangelical by any definition. As a result, my knowledge of evangelicals is limited especially in regards to membership.
One big church in a nearby 'burb where I live describes itself as "evangelical" and has woman pastors. Then again, they also have a disclaimer on their website acknowledging that different, and equally valid, "con" opinions exist.
As for JP surviving affairs and divorces, I agree, that is usually a show stopper for evangelical pastors.
But.... JP appears to "run his own show", as both Pastor and board. As a result, he writes his own rules and can survive so long as he can spin things enough to keep a critical mass of congregants.
That book is all about letting go of relationships so that we can move forward in life. It's completely in alignment with what her Dad said that she was looking forward to her new life without JP.In the Ring camera in front of her apartment, she was listening to Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud. Cannot fully determine her state of mind "in the spur of the moment". However, this is concerning.
“If you’re hesitant to pull the trigger when things obviously aren't working out, Henry Cloud’s Necessary Endings may be the most important book you read all year.” —Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author of The Total Money Makeover
Yes, this! 100%I mean....Mica's sister was clearly the closest person to her and whom Mica wanted to be in control of her affairs and Mica told her if she died by gun shot, it was the husband.
That is the #1 piece of evidence that stands out to me. The end.
I agree. Now coming to a used car dealership near (with my luck) me!!I am going to make a different bet than at @SteveP (though I think his bet is well informed).
Surviving scandal, whether it is a wayward pastor, a "re-created" politician, a shady businessman etc. was easier to do in the pre internet / mass social media names. Local TV news and newspaper reports of the scandal could be brief and not in depth. A certain number of people neither read the newspapers, nor watched TV news.
Thus, with brief and often general negative news, wayward Pastor types had an easier time going into spin control, then re-booting, re-imaging and driving on.
But with mass social media, scandal stories do not "go away". Nor is the news general. Rather, disturbing details are also readily available: Met 'M' as a minor at his parish- then married her- she the commits suicide, divorced from mother of five, the existence of an "church" airplane, investments in a bar etc.
None of the above are "show stoppers" when viewed individually. But the totality? I just dont think he can maintain a critical mass of attendees. As a result, my bet is that he is sunk.
At best he comes off as cheap and money-driven. mooYes. Why wouldn’t her estranged husband pastor JP ask for an autopsy to eliminate any suspicions that Mica’s death was anything but a suicide? Did he fear that something would be uncovered?
And why not at least conduct toxicology to help understand if Mica had been under the influence of something that might have contributed to her decision to kill herself?
My gosh, if this was someone I loved and had been with for many years I would want to know everything possible to explain what happened, even if I was no longer in a relationship.
The pastor’s behavior feels so cold, especially for a supposed man of God.

Until a rattlesnake... I just don't see Mica going into those particular woods, not by her own design anyway. jmooIMO it is peaceful in the woods. Go out there in nature and just find a spot and let go of all your worries, pain and suffering.
Rest in peace.
