Dude Who Claimed Not To Be Gay Is Suspected Of Being Part Of A Scam To Raise Money For The Church!
In the original video taken at the COGIC’s annual convocation, the 21-year-old Caldwell emphatically announces, “I’m not gay no more. I am delivered!”
The church’s bishop is then seen telling the congregation, “You all praise God with him. Now either you’re going to believe this stuff or you’re going to stop preaching it! If you can’t praise God with him, you’re an unbeliever.”
Caldwell’s claims of a conversion, however, have drawn criticism from the gay community, as well as others. Reports have surfaced that the man was arrested for fraudulent insurance in May, and an internet radio host questioned Caldwell’s claims of attending an online medical school.
Will Batts of the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community center said, “Every reputable scientific study on this experience says you cannot change someone’s orientation.” A local internet radio host, Thaddeus Mathews, said after interviewing Caldwell on Tuesday that he concludes the man is “a con artist, he’s a scam artist.”
