Bookkeeper indicted in church embezzlement

Broadmoor Baptist Church is not the only church in the Jackson area to suffer from an embarrassing embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars.  A Hinds County grand jury indicted a former employee in February for allegedly embezzling slightly more than $250,000 over a period of five years.  The indictment states:

 Kimberly Williams, on or about or between  the 1st  day of August, 2011 and 31st day of October, 2016 did willfully, unlawfully and feloniously at the time when she was a bookkeeper for Southside Assembly of God Church, located at 665 Raymond Road, Jackson,  S, embezzle and convert to her own use, more than $25,000 to wit: approximately $250,18.30, owned by Southside Assembly of God Church, which had been entrusted to Kimberly Majors Williams by virtue of her employment, in violation of Section 97-23-19, Mississippi Code of 1972 Annotated, as amended....

White church gets embezzled, so you run to your files to dig up a year old indictment brought against a member of a black church. That's really lame. You couldn't just let the Broadmoor case stand on its own?

Michael Guest quote: "it is rare to find an embezzlement case of more than $100,000."

Ain't that so cute?

Pitty Pander: I went back and read that two more times and never saw mention of white or black. Can you point me to where you see that? Thanks.

Am I to understand that situations like this are 'crimes against the state' and can be prosecuted whether or not the church wants it prosecuted? And, please, I don't need to be reminded that the church may not cooperate in a prosecution.

you're the racist here. the indicted is not black and is not "a year old indictment"

life must really suck for you having to strive so hard to continually be wrong

What do you call people like PittPanther? He makes a statement about Southside assembly of God Church as being a black church and then blames Kingfish for seeking to out black people for committing a similar crime as Broadmoor. After reviewing Southside's website, I don't think I would call it a black church. So therefore I don't think you could make the argument that Kingfish is being racist. What I do think we can say is that PittPanther is at least ignorant and is driven by racist views.

Did Guest really say that? If so, then damn. I remember the case out of the Children’s Clinic about a decade ago. She was taking some serious cash and even stealing identities.

When you don't hold adults accountable for their actions and accept their excuses, the result is the same as when you prevent children from suffering consequences for bad behavior. You will likely see the bad behaviors again.

Also, if you are a Christian or adherent in any other religion on the planet , you make the path to God's forgiveness more difficult for the sinner as it requires acknowledgement, atonement and the requirement to " go forth and sin no more". Yes, the sinner may sin again, but the idea is not to repeat the same sin but continuing a search for grace.

Convenient, situational ethics is very popular these days in societies focused on instant gratification. It's much easier to ask forgiveness than earn it. It's also easier to enable bad behavior than take action to stop it.

Humans of any age have a tendency to live up or down to the expectations of their peer groups.

@PittPanther, your soul seems to be troubled. I’d offer to give you a hug and an opportunity to talk about it, but I get the feeling you aren’t open to the idea of a honky like me, offering you peace and comfort.

Desperate.

An actual member of Southside here. Actually we are multiracial church who accepts everyone. It was a sad day, when we found out the news about the theft, but God has been faithful and we are back on our feet better than ever.

Was this addressing the post? ...or Pitt?

I went there a long time ago and it was filled with honkies. Nice try, Pitt. Actually, it wasn't that nice. It was pretty racist because you assumed the congregation had to be black just because of it's location. In your racist mind, you couldn't imagine white folks wanting to be around black folks.

Pan-ter
Please read the document. The indictment was filed in Feb. 2017.

An assistant DA did not sign that indictment. That is a doctor's signature.

Question is, how did these people steal that much money? Bogus invoices paid? Wrote a check to themselves? I doubt the churches receive that much cash.

Is Pit Panther PAID to post his absurdities? Is that why he identifies himself (in order to prove that he's posting)?

We know that plenty of people are paid pittances to help "control Internet conversations". Personally, I wouldn't pay more than twenty five Cents for posts like Panther's. Must be a miserable way to make a living.

Maybe he's an intern, like the really ugly girl in the "Girls" TV series. The one episode I watched, showed her getting fired from her internship (where all she did was post things on the Internet), because she asked to be paid something. Maybe Pit Panther "interns" with some sort of "Social Justice" outfit? That would make even MORE sense - the posts, in that case costing his employer NOTHING - which is roughly their value.

Yall crack me up! I love dropping in now and then!

You know who assumes “Assembly of God” is a black denomination?

An atheist, for starters. A liberal who has a knee-jerk aversion to people of faith, but one who has no problem with “black churches’” engaging in blatant politics, because that’s about “social justice.”

A beta male full of white guilt. One who would defend Islam, because he sees Muslims as oppressed.

You can bet that he hates Israel reflexively, too.

In other words, your typical Democrat bigot.

Hey Pitt: Tell me where I swung and missed on any of the above.

Jackson=black, Madison=white. What a racist,liberal, democrat, stokes like statement. Your post represents what is wrong with this country.

7:44 am. Yes, Guest was referring to a lady at an architectural firm who stole $390,000. Guest overlooked the bookkeeper at PersonnelPlus in Ridgeland who stole $620,000 just a few months apart. Both lived in Rankin County, near Guest. Total of $1 million by the two.

Lets talk about sin then the Baptists.

The world is under the power of sin unless you have been freed by The Messiah. The errors of the Baptist match those of the Roman Catholics. In this case the Futrals are at the center of Mississippi Baptist life and share in the false teaching of 'once saved always saved'. This Baptist heresy makes their congregations as desolate of the others. They worship the dominate cultural idols such as country, money, food, social memberships, cars, athletes, movie stars, & c. They love Halloween.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
