CCV (ccvonline.com) Senior Pastor and phony "Christian" Dr. Don Wilson and equally phony staffers Scott Chandler and Jon Edmiston, have been notified IN WRITING by me numerous times FOR OVER ONE YEAR that a formal, known, member of CCV church, fraudster, Phoenix lawyer Edward Maldonado, a former Maricopa County prosecutor and current Maricopa County Attorney (who is so unsuccessful that he still seeks private clients (to screw over) on the side through his lawyer ads on the church website, ccvonline.com) has acted in a highly unethical and in fact CRIMINAL MANNER with me, a former CCV attendee-member (until thiss happened and nobody responsed or cared and I stopped attending). I hired MR MALDONADO after seeing and trusting his church legal rep ad on ccvonline.com and Maldonado completely screwed me over in "representing" me. Yes, he demanded money orders upfront before he would start any work, then once he cashed them, he failed to return calls or emails, abandoned my case just before my trial focing me to represent myself in horror(my case was dismissed and I have no criminal record), then in violation of State Bar rules he refused to return any or all the unearned fees he had taken from me after we parted ways, then he wrote me a BAD-NSF check and maliciously mailed it to an incorrect out of state address right before my trial so I would have to spend a thousand bucks to travel to get it to use it to try to find another lawyer, when I finallu received it he had written a BAD-NSF CHECK - WHICH IS A FELONY IN MARICOPA COUNTY AND THEN HE FAILED AND REFUSED TO EVER MAKE HIS BAD NSF-CHECK GOOD WITH THE PENALTIES, FEES AND INTEREST AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW - FOR OVER ONE AND ONE HALF YEARS!!! AND AFTER TONS OF NOTICES!!! AND WHEN I SENT MY WRITTEN COMPLAINT AND WARNING TO FAILED PHONY SENIOR PASTOR DON WILSON AND HIS INCOMPETENT LEGAL STAFFERS SO THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN TO OTHER CHURCH MEMBERS, INCLUDING PDF COPIES OF THE EXACT COURT-LEVEL DOCUMENT: A SWORN, NOTARIZED, WITNESSED BANK OF AMERICA AFFIDAVIT PROVING MALDONADO'S BAD-NSF CHECK, ALONG WITH NOTICE THAT HE HAD NEVER MADE THE CHECK GOOD AS REQUIRED BY LAW - WHAT DID THESE PHONY FRAUDSTER CHRISTIAN LEADERS, THESE DELUSIONAL MEN OF GOD DO? - Aaaabsolutely nothing. I received NO response, NO apology that they were sorry that I was screwed over financially due to a fraudster with an ad on the church website. NO offer to take his CCVONLINE.COM ad down and call him in for an explanation OR MEETING TO EXPLAIN HIS SIDE OF THE STORY TO ME THE VICTIM AS IS REQUIRED IN THE BIBLE. No offer to call the police or make him provide restitution as is required in THE BIBLE. Nothing. NADA. ZERO. And this made me absolutely sick not just for myself, but even more for the image and reputation of Christianity. What if this had happened to a non-believer, a non-Christian. They would NEVER become a believer - NEVER set foot in a church again. I thought that if this, CCV, the largest Christian church in the fifth largest metro area in the US is the cutting-edge of Christian leadership in the Church today, we are in deep do0-doo. So - shame, shame, shame on these selfish, fraudster, phony "Christians". I guess they were too busy counting all the tithing and donations and moving it all into some offshore account so they be able to live in absolute luxury after the whole CCV-racket thing crashes. Vile. Makes me want to puke. If you are a Christian you likely know that Christ, the main God-human-face in Christianity, held a special contempt for these exact type of religious people - the phony, fake, two-faced religious leaders of his time - and in fact he called them various things from "brood of vipers" to "whitewashed tombs" - indicating the sickening stench of their phoney pious -perfect outside yet corrupt, rotten, filthy and maggot infested inside - refering of course not to their colons but their hearts. Jesus rebuke of these folks is the one place in all the New Testament where Jesus really, really angry. Anger not for prostitutes, or for the gays, or Nancy Pelosi, or liberals, or peacenicks, but SERIOUS anger for the corrupt, phony two-faced, religious-church leaders. Yes Dr Don Wilson - Jesus had a story tailored just for you! He knew you were coming to screw over the body and he wanted to say something about you 2000+ years early. SO now what? If this story and this failed church leadership sickens you as it has me, you know what to do. Tell a friend that as much as you like the fancy kitchen and food, the expensive flagstone patios, great childcare, hilltop cross, and luxurious setting - your soul is far more important than being seen inside some pretty yet morally bankrupt campus. Vote these evil-dooers out with your feet and head over to another church. Thanks for Speading the Word. GodBless.
