Pastor of mega church says wife has gone away for 1 year...

[txsvicki]

I can't imagine her going along with the secret life info Ron broadcast unless someone powerful has some dirt on them both that could totally ruin future income. I also just hope that she really sent the purse. Anyone could have sent one it if the thing came by delivery, or it could be one of Hope's own recent purchases that were left behind.

 

[SwampMama]

The "gift purse" doesn't help to be reassured of Hope's safety. Ron could have easily been disposing of Hope's valuable items in return for the children's continued compliance in the matter. It is an interesting thing to have happened though. Wonder what it really means?

however, I thought J was her daughter. so J's husband is actually the carpenter? the reason I thought that was that someone on twitter literally asked her how her mother was doing. im confused on that part.

Yes, J is the correct account. It took me awhile but figured out she is married to the eldest son (the same son that was sent away for ONE YEAR for drug abuse/addiction). It appears that she gave birth to their baby just before he was sent away, he returned July of this year, they were married and she is now expecting baby #2.

I think she knows people who ask about her mother are referring to Hope, and she is pretty rude and dismissive, says she's fine, it's a private family subject and nothing more.

I'm starting to entertain the idea that Hope just up and left Ron, who probably told her she can't, due to their church. She could have said...tell the church whatever you need to tell them....PEACE OUT BUDDY!

At least I hope this is the situation.

I am soooo hoping that she just up and left his sanctimonious butt too. I hope she off somewhere on a lovely adventure, living a life of ease and love and not giving a flip what Ron and the Koolaid Krewe think.

Oh and about Miss Snippy daughter in law, who bristles at anyone asking about hope and snaps that it is fine and it is private, but then takes to twitter to gloat about a designer handbag that probably cost more than many people spend on food (or make) in a month, well isn't that a nice touch?

Isn't that SPECIAL? (Said in "ChurchLady voice, for those who remember ChurchLady from SNL, with her "Well, isn't that special?" and her superiority dance.):floorlaugh:

ok...thanks!

well than that leaves me to believe this is either a big money making scam or im left with your theory...which Id rather be the case.

not sure how a woman who is so f'd up and the worst any professional has ever seen and has been literally removed from the internet.......can go out shopping and buy a super expensive LV for her daughter-n-law. and if she is not out shopping, she did it online (can that LV be bought online?). she would then have not only a crap load of expendable money but access to the internet.........so why not update her "condition" on her twitter/facebook.

something is fishy and im not buying ron's story at all. in fact, the entire thing just flat out stinks like !$#@

 

[prima.facie]

ok. im a handbag addict. I admit it. im not ashamed though. lol
I don't have that LV and ive never bought an LV online, but I had to go check....because I want to know how this woman we all worried about managed to buy her DIL this bag while away at camp, er rehabilitation.

and is she now back home? she has to be if DIL claims 'she just gave me this handbag'. right?

you CAN buy LV online (great, just what I need to know. lol) the one she got was a Damier Ebene style and you cannot buy that online right now. So maybe there is an LV outlet or store she went to.

also as an additional thought....looking at DIL's twitter/instagram....someone says "tell hope I miss her and love her" "she is a great MIL" DIL says "I will and yes she is".

sounds like all is fine? this is all so confusing.

 

[Wednesday80]

This is assuming the DIL's words are the truth and that Hope gave her anything. She may be telling the truth, she may be telling a flat-out lie and know it, Ron (or someone else) may have told her "Hope sent you this...". For me, too much else is suspect to think all is going swimmingly, though I would love to be wrong and worst case scenario, as others have mentioned, for Hope to have finally walked on his pious butt, heck be bent on whatever mess he was going to say about her, and under someone's sound legal guidance is staying off the radar? (And even with that I can find so many problems, that someone would advise her to do that, or maybe she just decided HAY WITH IT! He can say what he wants, without anyone advising to keep mum about his claims about her)

(I had more to say here that would make this more cohesive, but it flew out the window, so sorry!)

The gym can be useful for many reason. In addition to the ones noted above by BeginnersLuck, I see the gym as a way to repay favors (give chosen people cushy well-paid jobs), to skim money from , a way to wash money, he can buy goods thru it to divert otherwhere. he can offer jobs to people who will no doubt have pressure to join the church, he has the power to take those jobs away, show favoritism, etc.

If the gym is owned by the church, isn't the church owned by Ron? How does that work. I own my cats but if they own a gym, who profits?

I wonder who ultimately has the word on running the gym? let me guess, there is a board of people who are hand-picked by Ron, who have agendas that are closely aligned with his.

Something stinks about this gym and it isn't the smell of dirty socks and sweat.

Definitely a viable money laundering means and how much more convenient could you get than that?

 

[Wednesday80]

I think his sermon could replicate Jimmy Swagart's, infamous 'I Have Sinned Lord".

Surely not THE Apostle Ron! *gasp!* His congregants, family members, every sinner not in his church, but not him!
:floorlaugh:

 

[Wednesday80]

Dude is Craycray.

Dude is on crank...or something!

 

[Wednesday80]

I wonder if it was Swamp mama and prima.facie? :floorlaugh:

I was going to sit there and give him my "not impressed" look but he pegged me a godless Jezebel bent on stirring dissension in the ranks and had me removed. :scared::jail::floorlaugh:

haha, wouldn't that be something if the WS gang did go for a roadtrip and visit? I call dibs on the passenger seat and I will be designated driver in case the other Jezebels want to start drinking.

But we'd need to swing through Alabama to check on the other pastor's wife who was brutally murdered and virtually nothing has been said since. (Including who did it, if you're not familiar with it here's the thread) We can go to the Hobby Lobby to talk to her old co-workers since you can justifiably spend HOURS in a Hobby Lobby...and surely SOMEONE would talk. :floorlaugh:

I'm in. Meet y'all at Hobby Lobby in Birmingham!

We would probably get thrown out on our jezebooties within five minutes for heckling RC.

But oh, what fun we would have! I've been thrown out of more respectable places anyway. :facepalm:

 

[killarney rose]

Yeah, but think of what fun it would be to see those eyes get crazier and spit fly from his mouth!:floorlaugh::scared::floorlaugh:

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

I did see a tweet from her daughter-in-law today which said "look what my mother-in law just gave me! Yaayyy!" The picture attached is a new Louis Vuitton purse. Maybe Hope really is OK but just laying really low.

I don't know, the whole thing is really strange and I've been worried about this woman. Seeing that tweet made me feel a bit better...she seems to be alive and has access to cash or credit card.

My guess is she is really fine. If she was truly missing and not around it would be bigger than this. I think that she is just over it all and laying low.

well she must not be such a crazed sinner like Ron said when he trashed her like she were satan. her SIL proclaimed - recently mind you - that Hope is a wonderful woman and she loves her blah blah blah.

I was led to believe, thanks to Ron that Hope was a disgusting who was thrown to the curb for her horrendous disgusting behaviors.

"over it all and laying low" is VERY contradicting to Ron's crucification of her being a sinful mentally ill woman...the worst any professional has ever seen! If she is laying low, than that church has been scammed.

*shrug*

 

[killarney rose]

It's possible that hope had enough , split and is laying low while laughing her butt off at saint Ron trying to play cya to make himself look good. Hope that is the case.
