'Bishop T.D Jakes Banned Me From Church For Writing A Book Titled: "What Your Pastor Doesn't Want You To Know About Tithes" - Elder Richardson

David Lee Richardson was once a proud member of The Potters House, the church run by famed Bishop T. D Jakes.  Richardson is also the author of the book, “The Sunday Morning Stickup:  What your pastor doesn’t want you to know about Tithes.”

In a video conversation, Richardson says that his book was not received well by Bishop Jakes and the leadership in the church.  He says that, based on the cover alone, he was escorted and physically removed from the church at the Bishop’s request.

He claims that his book was considered so dangerous and so revealing, that it was seen to be a threat to those who are getting wealthy by running their churches.

Richardson says that the experience was humiliating for him, since he was taken out of the church in front of his two small children.  He also says that he was stripped of his ministerial license at the church as well during a private meeting.  He says that his kids were traumatized by what they saw happen to their father.

Richardson says that police told him that he could never come back to the church without the threat of being arrested.  He asked the officers why he was being banned from the church and claims that the officer told him that he’d been lied to, and that the police were allegedly used by church leadership to get rid of him.
