Hello all and sorry for lurking the past week or so. I've been away from the area. Here are a few bits of information that some of you may find helpful. I previously explained my background and then edited my comments to remove much of that information as a security precaution. I won't name my sources, therefore it's fair enough that the information I share may not be widely believed. But here's what I know:
1. Joyce Meyer quickly began to realize that the situation with CC was not as it appeared at first glance. CC was not on any type of "leave" from JMM at the time of the murders. JMM was not aware of CC's adultery until two employees who worked close with CC came forward with that information. It was immediately decided that CC would not continue with JMM after that information came forward. Those of you who are familiar with JM know that, say what you will about her, she's a smooth operator and one heck of a business woman (as is Dave, her husband.) They, like the rest of us, pretty quickly figured out that things weren't looking right regarding CC. She is not a happy person to know that CC used JMM property to have his affair and to stage false threats.
2. TL is not the person in the photograph from the Tampa Gold Club website that has previously been discussed on this forum. TL is not and has not been in the past a "stripper." I realize that being a "hostess" at a "gentlemen's club" doesn't seem to be a lot different but it important to keep the facts straight and multiple individuals in the Largo/St. Petersburg area confirm that she has not been a stripper. By most accounts, she didn't have a fabulous reputation in that area before her connection to CC came to light and certainly this hasn't helped that reputation. She is being very helpful to LE and Margulis wouldn't have a leg to stand on if he were to try to somehow utilize TL as a scapegoat. She's just been to upfront with LE from the get-go for that to be effective.
3. In speaking with individuals who worked with CC at JMM, not one of the many I have heard from were aware of the threats that CC was "receiving" at home. We're talking about dozens of JMM workers who interacted regularly with CC that had no clue about these supposed threats and their supposed connection to his work with JMM. Most all of JMM workers seem resigned to the fact that CC just did one heck of a job hiding who he really was. JM has met with her workers to let them know that she shares their frustration, anger and pain and has prayed over her employees. Many of them expressed real appreciation for the genuine way that JM has dealt with her feelings about the situation at hand and all agree that JMM has been working with LE from the very beginning, sharing whatever information was helpful. Also, to tie up a loose end out there, the SPD poster who said that she was the wife of a member of the MCS that said the spray paint was found to have come from JMM was incorrect. That is not the case.
4. There is no relationship other than CC between JMM and Grace Church Ministries. While many at GCM are fans or followers of JM, there are theological differences that to you and I don't seem like much but to a Pentecostal are very important. CC is the link between the two and GCM is not a "spin-off" of JMM in any way.
That's all I've got and, as I said, I read a great deal of things posted with a grain of salt myself. I simply ask that you consider the information I've shared and know that it comes from sources that I certainly consider credible.
I may have an additional tidbit to share later this evening if I can confirm the details.
Best to you all!
