Mike Huckabee controversy and Senate Finance Committee Inquiry [edit]

In late November 2007, Mike Huckabee, a 2008 Republican presidential primary candidate, fabricated six appearances on Copeland's daily tv set plan Laic's Voice of Victory, discussing character.[41] Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, was appearing on Copeland'south daily broadcast to promote his book, Graphic symbol IS the Outcome: How People with Integrity Tin can Revolutionize America.

Afterward, in January 2008, the Huckabee entrada paid to utilise Kenneth Copeland Ministries' facilities for a fundraiser.[42] The fundraising at the church was criticized by the Trinity Foundation.[42]

As a effect of the Huckabee appearances, in Dec 2007, Kenneth Copeland Ministries was one of half dozen ministries investigated in the United States Senate inquiry into the tax-exempt condition of religious organizations, led past Senator Chuck Grassley.[43] Of those ministries investigated, Kenneth Copeland Ministries was one of four that did not cooperate with the Senate Finance Committee's requests for information or volunteer to brand reforms.[44] [45] The investigation could not conclude that the Copelands made personal profit from financial donations.[46]

Senator Grassley'due south report chronicled the difficulties the Committee faced in attempting to procure requested information from Kenneth Copeland Ministries, including the intimidation of employees. Several former employees of EMIC/KCM indicated that EMIC/KCM used intimidation in an attempt to keep informants from speaking to the Committee.

Employees were contacted by EMIC/KCM attorneys after the initiation of the Commission investigation and reminded that they signed a confidentiality understanding like-minded non to disembalm any data apropos EMIC/KCM. I sometime employee stated, "The Copelands employ guerrilla tactics to keep their employees silent. We are flat out told and threatened that if we talk, God will bane our finances, strike our families downwardly, and pretty much afflict us with everything evil and unholy. Rather, God will permit Satan to do those things to the states because we have stepped out from nether His umbrella of protection, by touching God'southward all-powerful Prophet." Further, employees are encouraged to shun and care for badly anyone who dares speak out.[47]

In a argument on the church website, Pearsons said she was non against immunizations, only likewise raised concerns nigh them.[50]

"Some people think I am confronting immunizations, but that is not true, vaccinations assist cut the mortality rate enormously. I believe it is wrong to exist against vaccinations. The concerns we accept had are primarily with very young children who accept family history of autism and with bundling too many immunizations at once. There is no indication of the autism connection with vaccinations in older children. Furthermore, the new MMR vaccination is without thimerosal (mercury), which has also been a concern to many."[51]

Kenneth Copeland and his married woman, Gloria Copeland, were featured in a 2015 episode of Final Week Tonight with John Oliver.[52] [53] [54] Comedian John Oliver criticized the Copelands for using taxation laws to live in a $6.3 million mansion as the parsonage allowance for their dwelling house is not subject to income taxes,[55] for using church donations to buy a $20 1000000 jet that was used for trips to a ski resort and a private game ranch,[56] and for promotion of healing through religion and skepticism of medicine, which Oliver highlighted with a video of Gloria Copeland saying that doctors requite patients "poison that will make you sicker" and that the church is an alternative to medical handling: "Which do you want to exercise? Do yous want to do that," Copeland asked of the physician's "toxicant" treatment, "or do you want to sit down here on a Sabbatum morning, hear the give-and-take of God, and let organized religion come into your heart and be healed?"

Private jets [edit]

In 2009, Copeland's $3.half dozen 1000000 jet was denied tax-exempt status, opening up a possible investigation into the church building's expenses; Copeland failed to disclose the salaries of his directors. In 2008 the ministry stated it endemic five airplanes, i of which is valued at $17.five one thousand thousand.[57]

If we find ane with a fever, permit'south become him healed right there. What if you do get information technology? Big bargain!"[65] [66] Copeland repeatedly said during the pandemic that information technology had ended or would soon stop,[67] and that God told him that it would soon be over equally Christians' prayers have overwhelmed it. On March 29, 2020, in a televised sermon, Copeland "executed judgment" on COVID-nineteen.

Yous are destroyed forever, and you lot'll never exist back. Thank yous, God. Permit information technology happen. Cause information technology to happen."[67] Every bit many lost their jobs in the economical crisis that the outbreak caused, Copeland advised the faithful to continue paying tithes to a church building even if they had lost their jobs.[68] From Baronial 3 through eight, 2020, KCM hosted the Southwest Believers' Conference at the Fort Worth Convention Heart in Fort Worth, Texas despite restrictions on social gatherings to limit the spread of the pandemic.
