ICOCinvestigation.com
has heard multiple accounts of members being told that it was
“illegal” for them to be given salary information for church leaders.
Such a claim, however, is completely inaccurate. We are calling for
individuals who were told such to document these events in a sworn
statement. We believe that this happened on enough occasions to make
it obvious that it was an established method of keeping curious members
out of the books. Anyone who experienced this, or who knows anyone
who did, should contact us. ICOCinvestigation.com has also received information from numerous former members and former church administrators as to how minister's salaries where handled. Did you know that when a minister needed a new computer the cost of the computer was factored into his salary? Did you know that there was a procedure in place that allowed ministers to receive refunds back from the IRS so they could off-set their special missions contributions? Did you know that DPI authors while not holding their own copyrights for books written for the church could count the proceeds from the sale of their books towards their own personal special mission contribution? ICOCinvestigation.com received an excel spreadsheet salary calculator used by a church administrators in 2001 to calculate salaries for local staff. Does anybody know what #11 (Special Adjustment) was used for? During the flurry of apology letters from churches after Henry Kriete released his Honest to God paper, there were many admissions as to salary given by the local churches. Admissions of needing a salary structure commended by the church, lavish spending, not being open with the congregation, mismanagement, salary model reviews, overspending, no accountability in how SMC was spent, and worldliness in their finances.
