Im not one for diving into issues but rather leaving behind them but I believe God wants me to share my events on how the corrupted system of hopcc hurts anartd destroys lives from my experience working directly for a minister and his electrical business for many years.

I worked for a minister for nearly 7 years at the beginning of it all I was like many thankful and happy to help and do my part in helping the gospel move forward by letting the minister preach and pray while there's a source of income coming in for him and his wife. I was 22 previously separated from the service nieve and and had a great deal for God. I was hired on making 350 a week with one wife and forced to be put on SALARY WITH NO OVERTIME and with no other option to live in the ministers rental property and working a min of 6 days a week sometimes 12hr days excluding services. Little did I know labor laws are in place for these reasons. Not only was I working and living and helping the minister I was also forced to help fix and maintain his other properties with no benefit or assistance towards my family cheap labour i mean free lanour is what I've seen this organization do by taking advantage of church members and using God as a tool for getting whay they want and if you disobey your not saved and on ur way to hell. This minister even after working consistently and growing close to him he entrusted me with his business while he moved to another state for the church I didnt slack off I worked harder and made more money and to such a level of trust my family and I were the center of rebuke in services getting the cruel treatment while doing so much to the point my first child was called to our face a mistake and we shouldn't have had her and my wife being constantly depressed and fearful of the trash and rebukes we daily received. I've seen how money corrupts and blinds the eyes of people even in the ministry but this was a whole nother level there was time while running his company the book keeper would have to ajust the books and my taxes for checks that I never received for work and to this day I was never payed at least 3 paychecks even after putting my 2 weeks in I didnt except my last paycheck just a show of courtesy because I was blamed for him possibly having to file bankruptcy and having him start over even tho after all those years I made 19 dollars a hour seriously underpaid especially knowing how much we made him a week and the trash and ridicule and rebukes I received and his words were I have to keep you on ur toes so you will perform. Once I quit I found how the new pastor was quick to try to control my steps to benefit the church financially and when I stepped out of line or deviatedI was forced to work with the pastors son in and was told not to get my own license other wise I was around and on my way to hell and forget using my GI bill for school that was only for bible college if we ever got one in Clarksville. Shortly after all this and being in church for 14 years my wife and i couldn't handle it we would constantly catch the pastor in his lies and many things not making sense and contrary to our beginning walk with God. One major thing dident set with me how the foundation of Christianity is christ and how hopcc stopped preaching Christ for charity (ie DENNIS) and its all about denis heven isn't possible without him and to see how the pastors are treated by him makes me think on how the pastors and ministers treat us. If the head is sick the whole body is sick. I know this for fact to be true by working for a pastor as if he was my dad handing me the keys to his company and beholding all things he does and dosnt do. Alot of bitterness, anger, confusion and hatred was within me because of hopcc and towards God. To this day after being gone almost a year God has helped me find a church start over with my family and begin to live a life centered around God again with out the fear of man controlling my life to fit there selfish desires of money power and corruption I pray for those who are still in hopcc because if they were to begin understanding and learning what a cult is there wouldn't be anyone left in there. Tha k you for your time I hope this helps someone whose going or been through something similar to make the decision to start new in christ. And my final words, Dennis does not have the power to kill anyone especially my family nor his minister's I stand on the rock

Christ Jesus and the author and finisher of my faith and he alone have my breath in his hand.
