The front of the website is an infomercial. The church is a gift shop. The gift shop is a holding company. Keep clicking. Every "go deeper" drops you one more layer down. There is no separation of church and state down here. There is barely a separation of church and Cayman.
Jacob's Ladder Megachurch is a church. The church is owned by a ministry. The ministry is owned by a nonprofit. The nonprofit is owned by Prosper Holdings International, which is a P.O. box in George Town with a fern in it.
Annual report, in full: "Trust us."
Pastor Dale cannot fly commercial because the demons are in coach. The Jet Fund has bought four jets. Each new jet needs a newer jet. This is called a ministry.
THE RETREAT AT CAY PROSPER. A private Bahamas island where top donors go for "spiritual renewal." Every adult guest signs an NDA at the dock. Phones are confiscated for your spiritual safety. The guest list is permanently redacted.
Guests include: , , a senator, , and Brad.
Pastor Dale is currently on day 94 of a 117-day sabbatical here. Last month he demanded a rival pastor resign for missing one Sunday with the flu.
THE RANCH (Arizona). A five-day bootcamp for adult donors. Day one: you learn to transfer wealth. Day two through five: you transfer it. Graduates receive a belt buckle and a smaller bank account.
Electives include Tithing Under Pressure, Seed Faith for Beginners, and Advanced Not Asking Questions.
Where adult Kommunications staff train to say nothing, holily. The two-year program has one exam. The exam has one question. The answer is "no comment on the jet." Kaylynn passed. Kristyn passed. Kourtney is still taking it.
The Hallowed Heritage Foundation is a think tank. It does not think. It tanks. It funds the whole movement and recently released Project 3:16, a 900-page playbook to turn the country into one big church, with Pastor Dale as the gift shop.
Highlights: Chapter 1, "Separation of Church and State Is Just Two Words Apart." Chapter 12, "The Tithe Is the New Tax." Chapter 40, "Every Courthouse a Chapel, Every Chapel a Drive-Thru." Page 900 is just the gift shop floor plan.
You thought you bought an album. Then you thought you bought salvation. Then you thought you bought a peek behind the curtain.
The product was you. It was always you. Religion plus money plus power, fused into one grift and sold back to you at a markup. The album was the free sample.
Pastor Dale would like to thank you for your $19.99. He has already spent it. It is in the jet.
The only news source Pastor Dale has not sued. Yet. Updated whenever he does something. He is always doing something.
