It’s called Cart Ministry, and since COVID, they have been doing that more now that they aren’t writing letters to random strangers. A few years before his untimely death, Prince converted to JW and was reportedly seen doing cart ministry in the Twin Cities area. ---

Cross posting from Evil MFers in the news. . This MFer is evil. Colorado pastor says God told him to start a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, defraud his parishoners, and use the money for home renovations. A Colorado-based pastor for an online ministry sold INDXcoin to his followers and others in the Christian faith. However, there was no way for buyers to cash out the tokens. Meanwhile, Regalado and his wife spent the money on a Rolls Royce, jewelry,… ### [Pastor pocketed $1.3M selling worthless cryptocurrency, state says](https://businessden.com/2024/01/18/pastor-pocketed-1-3m-selling-worthless-cryptocurrency-state-says/) “The Lord brought this cryptocurrency to me,” Rev.

> [@running\_coach](#): > > “It’s against my religion to let the gullible sheep go unfleeced.” At least in this case, the money went to a god-fearing pastor instead of some evil person who would have done evil things with it, as opposed to just using it for selfish purposes like this guy did. /s ---

I’m a very lapsed Catholic, but from [this National Review article](https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/02/sacrilege-in-the-cathedral-how-st-patricks-was-set-up/): > During the eulogy, Gentili’s friends referred to the deceased as a “great whore” and “St. Cecilia, the mother of all whores.” The congregation responded with a standing ovation. If you are going to use the space of a faith community, you should at least nod in the direction of their beliefs. If they wanted a raucous celebration of life, there were other places to do it. ---
