From AOL Black Voices:

They played and sang uplifting spiritual music for several churches, but after the praise and worship and soul food fellowship was through, police say they came back and stole more than $100,000 worth of equipment from several Georgia churches.

Police charged gospel singers Deshawn Rico Thomas, 28, of Augusta and Rico Pionegro Blackshear, 28, of Dublin with nine counts of theft and burglary. Police had been investigating break-ins at several central Georgia churches. A tipster suggested they take a closer look at Thomas and Pionegro. A search warrant revealed the stolen equipment in the pair’s vehicles and homes.

    Not only that, Califemme23, they could be in secret with those kiddie who they have affairs with (like the late James Cleveland did);they would come there in their Escaldes, Navigators, don chains, Rolexes, $500 dresses and suits and they beg ME to support God(THEM), SMH……
    Rather pray and read the bible; if I wantrd longwinded preaching, I’d go back to my old crappy college…….

    Unf**kingbelievable: Goldman Has Zero Trading Loss Days In Last Quarter

    In the quarter ended March 31, Goldman made money on every single trading day. The firm did not record a loss of even $0.01 on even one day in the last quarter. That’s 63 days profitable out of 63 trading days. The statistic probability of this event is itself statistically undefined. Goldman is now the market – or, in keeping with modern market reality, Goldman is the house, it controls the casino, and always wins. Congratulations America: you now have far, far better odds in Las Vegas that you have making money with your E-Trade account.

    Adding to the alice in wonderland insanity of this announcement, the firm made over $100 million daily on 35 different days. Of Goldman’s $9.7 billion in total Q1 revenue, 76% came from trading. Forget investment banking, forget underwriting, forget advisory: over three quarters of the firm’s value is based on being the house to the biggest corrupt casino in existence. Ever.

    And is this supposed to be surprising? Wolves know that the sheep are in Church. In other words, scammers in and out of the pulpit know that people in the Church let their guards down. If hte truth be told, I believe only about 10% of Pastors in the pilpit are there to promote God. The rest are there for Sex and Money! Can I get an Amen?????? I give myself one!

    Newsone is out of touch! Nothing bizarre about this because them thieving bastards been doing this crap for years! What would be bizarre thing for any church to do is when the wolves in the church start getting the people to give 10% of their wealth to make porn movies!
