While at the State Fair this year, Minnesota Teen Challenge Executive Director, Rich Scherber, claimed that a Teen Challenge resident with cirrhosis of the liver was "cured" by "God".

1. Crooked cult

Minnesota Teen Challenge has been exposed as a crooked cult.

Lots of dirty money surrounding that organization, as well as dirty politicians like Michele Bachmann.

2. MnTeen Challenge enjoys bipartisan support

As you can see by Avidor's post, our good Sen. Amy Klobuchar is pretty tight with this cult. She earlier sponsored a half-million-dollar earmark for MnTC but appears to have dropped that sponsorship.

3. Petters should be a heads up when his name is mentioned. Klo-butcher is a drag.

4. Rich Scherber

Rich Scherber is what he is. Before taking over TC he was a missionary in South Africa. he took over the program with no money in it and no property. With hard work from him and church members he made it"succeed". Some of the people giving it money were crooks but I have no reason to believe that he isn't a dedicated missionary. When you work with drug addicts you will find con men-but then Rich was never an addict. No, I don't agree with them on many things, but I would not impugn his honesty or sincerity. I also believe that the government should not give a dime to them because they are really a Church.
