Thanks to frequent commenter Cassiopia for the heads-up on this recent update concerning Brian Tamaki and Destiny Church in New Zealand,

You may recall the original story posted in October, Destiny Church, A Cult in the Making. This Brian Tamaki is one strange guy. After reading the original story, he actually reminded me of Jim Jones.
Also an update at The Church of Jesus Christ blog: Tamaki’s Australian pastor walks out
More than half the Destiny Church in Brisbane – including its pastor, Andrew Stock – walked out of the service on Sunday, saying they believed the church was no longer following the Gospel.

I see that on tonight’s current affairs show episode that there is footage of the walkout, pj. Also a quote from Brian Tamaki saying “God’s people are quick to pray for their future but they are not quick to PAY for their future.” Hearing that gave me chills!
Why is this transparently cash collecting brunch of crooks given tax-free status? Destiny Church is a mixture of facism and simple revenue collection – simply another branch of the Tamaki Bros business empire, with a dose of nasty cultish right wing loony for good measure.
