Embattled Lake Wales Pastor Mayor Jack Hilligoss is too busy hyping\/selling gross political events to shout out his supposed savior. Behold fake, corrupt Christianity embodied in one brief email.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lake Wales Pastor Mayor Jack Hilligoss remains conspicuously silent about the fact that the citizens he denounced as \u201cwicked\u201d from the pulpit of his High Point church were 100 percent right<\/strong><\/em> about the sleazy city-funded business incubator his fellow High Point pastor runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilligoss hasn\u2019t answered any<\/strong><\/em> of the questions I posed to him publicly about the arrest of the incubator\u2019s CFO for massive theft. And he won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/a><\/td><\/td>What did Lake Wales Pastor Mayor Jack Hilligoss know? And when did he know it?<\/a>BILLY TOWNSEND<\/a>\u00b7MAY 1Read full story<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most likely, he\u2019ll just whine to the congregants of his rogue \u201cchurch\u201d about how persecuted he is. I can hear him now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who among us hasn\u2019t awarded a no-bid city contract to a pastor colleague that led to massive taxpayer theft which was reported to police months before<\/strong> Hilligoss and the pastor denounced the public for objecting to other sleazy stuff with the incubator? There but for the grace of God go all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let he who is without sleazy taxpayer-funded incubator cast the first stone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, fake Christian politicians are cowards who duck personal consequences \u2014 even more than they are con men who cheat the gullible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAGA church \u201cworship\u201d schedule: Patriot Academy, Comedy and Constitution, and the CCDF<\/s> \u2014 but no Jesus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can see both of those traits on display in the \u201cNew Summer Worship Schedule\u201d email Hilligoss sent to his congregation on Friday morning. I posted the whole thing at the top. It\u2019s your basic church schedule and admin email \u2014 except you will find not one reference<\/strong><\/em> to Jesus Christ. The part where Jesus and worship content would come in for a real church reads rather differently for Hilligoss and High Point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This coming Monday, May 6, at 6:30 P.M., We are co-hosting an event with CDF featuring Alex Newman. This is a free event, but we are asking that you reserve a seat at this link: ccdfusapolkfl.ticketleap.com\/polk-county-citizens-defending-freedom-meeting-with-alex-newman\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first weekend of June HPC is hosting the “Comedy and Constitution” tour.<\/strong> On Saturday evening, June 1, Christian Comedian Brad Stine will take us through a night of laughs and learning. Then, Sunday morning, June 2, Rick Green from Patriot Academy will be speaking in both our morning worship services. This event is sponsored by HPC’s “Salt and Light” group and you do need a ticket to attend the comedy event on Saturday-June 1.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Mayor, it took less than three hours for this email to start coming to me, from multiple sources. Perhaps some of your flock are getting sick of you fleecing their tax money and their souls at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
