SGM-Mahaneygate: Ex-SGM Pastor Publicly Repents of Manifold Sins & Wickedness

C.J. Mahaney's new hideout

A good post here from Jim Moran at SGM Refuge (www.sgmrefuge.com), documenting a public meeting in a Chesapeake SGM Community wherein an ex-Pastor (of the same gathering) confesses his manifold sins and wickedness, to wit:  lying, deceiving, conspiracy to mislead the church, fear of man, idolatry of "unity,"  and

SGM-Mahaneygate: Big Shake-up in the Works for CJ/SGM

1000s abandon "Old Baldy" Mahaney.  Revenues have tanked.
SGM Communities (they themselves called them "Churches")
are planning to secede.  We predict about 20 communities
out of 95 will secede.  Another Sect. 
Two of the biggest, CLC and FFX, have withheld
their 10% tithe to SGM for a total of about $1.2 million/year.

"Old Baldy" Mahaney, a man with a long
rap sheet of abusiveness and narcissism.
A man with uncanny instincts as a Mountebank.
Bradshaw is Old Baldy's son-in-law.  The pastoral
portrait below is rather laughable, since "Old
Baldy" has violated these "old but new" rules.

SGM-Mahaneygate/Maresco's Confession: "Just Say It: `I'm a Dumb Ass'"

We pull one section
from a family meeting of Ceej (C.J.) Mahaney’s church (from which he fled),
Covenant Life (CLC), Gaithersburg, MD. 
The meeting occurred last Thursday night, 28 Jun 2012. The various Elders put forward a confession of their manifold
wickednesses.  Here’s an old hand,
Kenneth Maresco.  We will interlineate
our commentary in red bold.  Go ahead and say it, Maresco:  "I've

Baptacostal Hillbilly Mahaney Re-Ascends to Episcopal Monarchy

The Baptacostalist Hillbilly, C. J. Mahaney,
survives and his hand-selected and sovereign Board returns Mahaney to
permanency on the same board.  We are
not, in the least, surprised by a breakdown in a relationship between Mahaney
and Harvey, the hapless and troubled Board member who governed SGM during Mahaney’s temporary
exile.  Further, the relationship between
Mahaney and Harris is

Hillbilly C.J. Mahaney at Resolved 2012

Of course, Hillbilly and Narcissist-in-Chief C.J. Mahaney never fails to provide pictures and stories about himself.  He's back, but--essentially--he has left SGM for "bigger gigs," more suitable to his supply-need for applause.  SGM was getting "too small" for him.

Reflections on

C.J. Mahaney, Adrift at Sea, or a Sheep without a Shepherd

Brent Detwiler offers an interpretation of C.J. Mahaneys' last three sermons.  The title gives the theme.  See: http://www.brentdetwiler.com/brentdetwilercom/2012/4/5/cj-like-a-sheep-without-a-shepherd.html.  We, according to our natures as Mariners of many years, recasted theme as "Adrift at Sea."
