Frequently-Asked Questions
Who owns, operates, and funds this website? This site is owned and operated by concerned former members of the ICOC. The hundreds of man-hours required to populate and to conduct research for this site are all donated. Funding for the considerable expenses incurred comes from donations. The more we are given, the more evidence we can afford to acquire and to post. make a donationWe’ve changed; why are you bringing up the past? The ICOC churches and related corporate entities have never fully disclosed their finances, so this problem is quite present. In fact, many current and former members have requested to see the finances and have been refused. How can it possibly be fair to hide from us what the ICOC did with our money? Aren’t you just bitter ex-members? We are former members, but we are far from "bitter". Indeed,
we have more freedom to address our sincere spiritual concerns outside
the ICOC than we had inside it! As members, we would never
have been allowed to call on the
entire church to change its financial practices. We are adamant
that the church must change in order to be righteous, but this adamancy
should not be mistaken for bitterness.
We do not consider it "persecution" to demand that the truth be told. Didn’t Peter warn that persecution has no value if it is because of wrongdoing?
We are merely calling the ICOC to follow its own teaching of "radical repentance", and to follow in Jesus’ steps by making good on their previous boasts about financial openness. When do you think the ICOC turned bad? From the beginning, it was built on cover-ups of grossly
immoral behavior among its leadership. In an effort to protect
the image of the church, there was conspiracy to conceal information about
the leaders’ sins. And that same attitude of secrecy and misrepresentation
easily facilitated the financial abuses that occurred from that point
forward. I have evidence for you. How do I submit it? It depends on what it is. If it’s a hard copy of your sworn statement, of an ICOC publication or document, you can just mail it to us. Email us for the address.
This website is a big project! Do you need volunteer help? Yes, we do! We can use help in the following areas.
