Sources have told me there was huge media coverage for this event.
Hmmm, we must have very divergent sources...

LOL!!!!!!! Like you knew what was taking place in Illinois from Virginia???

Watch Alex here:
Here is a link to most of the press conference.  The audio is poor, but it gives an idea of how huge the media coverage was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQxjPHxQdFQ

What evidence is there available that TS was getting paid by 3ABN during the time he worked for the VA church in the nineties?  Was 3ABN really supporting a non-SDA pastor?

An allegation we heard a long time ago, and referred to in our court filings, was that 3ABN sent Tommy $10,000 love gift(s) while he was in Virginia. But 3ABN refused to produce any document before 2001, which kept us from proving or disproving that allegation.

Besides pay, there is also a question of whether 3ABN provided an employee and/or equipment to Tommy to help him start a video ministry in VA.

Here's the press conference embedded here:

Let's hope it was donated!  Wasn't in VA long before it caught fire on the highway and had to be towed away.

Wow. I forget how young these guys are.  I still see no statement from GC.

I think the GC would rather have good relationships with 3ABN since they believe they need something to counteract the SDA progressives.

I've seen several new items online covering the story.
