Here's the thing. If you were brought up in a ministry like Earl Paulk's, that's the only truth you know. If you're told all your life that Earl Paulk is a prophet of God, that he heard from God and then dispensed God's wisdom to his congregation, then that's what you come to believe. Many many churches that look normal on the outside are really cults because the pastor is teaching his congregation not to look to God but to look to their pastor. This is what Earl Paulk did, and that is what his family, who continue his evil legacy, continue to do to this day. Earl Paulk is dead and gone but many thousands of churches exist right now that are dangerous. I know whereof I speak. I was a member of Earl Paulk's church for decades. I am just grateful that I got out and that my loved ones got out. Don't blame Mona or the other women who were led astray by Paulk and his minions. Don't place the blame on the congregation, who were misled and lied to. Put the blame directly on Earl Paulk and his family who ran a family business, called it a "church" and whose main goal was to lead the innocent into doing the Paulk's bidding. It was a sad sight to see and unfortunately, tho Earl is dead the Paulks continue to deceive.
