Raided massage parlor in Okla. was run by evangelist

Broken Arrow man used his ministry's phone number in ads to recruit prostitutes, authorities say
Raided massage parlor reportedly was run by evangelist
By Harrison Grimwood | Tulsa World | Nov 29, 2017

Tulsa County prosecutors on Wednesday charged Walter Eugene Brazington Jr. — identified as a minister for a group in Broken Arrow — with procuring for prostitution and possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony, according to court records.

Brazington, 55, attempted to “encourage, induce or persuade women to become inmates of a house of prostitution,” the charges state.

Brazington is listed as an apostle and prophet for the All Nations Evangelistic Team, a preaching group based in Broken Arrow. The address listed for the evangelistic team corresponds to an address that police searched, reportedly Brazington’s residence, as part of an undercover operation, according to a search warrant affidavit.

The phone number listed on the evangelistic team’s website also matches phone numbers used in classified ads seeking massage therapists for the massage parlor targeted by police earlier this month, according to the affidavit.

That unholy trinity of hookers, money rolling in, and praise the Lawd Jeebus! Was there any tire deflation involved in this sting?

does this then qualify them as a church under Republican rules?
Are they exempt from taxes therefore?

And a visit HOME at Christmas? What's not to believe?

Never even heard of Cyclo Meglo Virus. Maybe that is one that only he and GAWD know about, but it does sound terrible.
Bet he needs a lot of massages for it.

What's not to believe?

I'm surprised only by the fact that his brag page doesn't feature random bold-faced letters that spell out "CON MAN."

Funny how these scam artists are miraculously cured of diseases that kill most people you know that ever really got them.
