<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ahh! I see! Have you heard that most churches
consider themselves hospitals for sinners not showcases for saints?? I think the
pope is too old and out of the loop to have any idea what's going on anywhere.
Do the others in the Vatican know...of course they do. Maybe the pope was just
hoping others would follow what he says and not do the bad thing. However, the
catholic church has many problems in this area of abusing children. I and many
others keep praying that things will change and then more stories...but we don't
really have the full storey yet and I'd rather wait to hear it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I see nothing in the Paul Crouch story that tells
me he has been proven to do the dirty deed yet. I am familiar with him and with
his ministry and yes it will be very disappointing if it is anywhere near true.
But, we are not sure yet...or are you sure just because people of faith are
involved? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As to reformed cokeheads lying...sure they do, we
all do at some level. But, once we are walking with God our confessions
are truth. Bush said in the very beginning that if you were looking for
dirt you were going to find it. He said he was no saint. Which part are you
having trouble with? The confessions or the walking with God? Have you never
known anyone who turned their life around? If not, how sad.</FONT></DIV>

Attempts to Keep Accuser Quiet<BR>| > A former worker at TBN
threatened to disclose an alleged 1996 homosexual <BR>| >encounter.<BR>|
> By William Lobdell<BR>| > Times Staff
Writer<BR>| ><BR>| > September 12, 2004<BR>| ><BR>|
> Televangelist Paul Crouch, founder of the world's largest
Christian <BR>| >broadcasting network, has waged a fierce legal battle to
prevent a former <BR>| >employee from publicizing allegations that he and
Crouch had a sexual <BR>| >encounter eight years ago.<BR>| ><BR>|
> Crouch, 70, is the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network,
based in <BR>| >Orange County, whose Christian programming reaches millions
of viewers <BR>| >around the world via satellite, cable and broadcast
stations.<BR>| ><BR>| > The source of the allegations
against him is Enoch Lonnie Ford, who met <BR>| >Crouch at a TBN-affiliated
drug treatment center in 1991 and later went to <BR>| >work for the
ministry.<BR>| ><BR>| > After Ford threatened to sue TBN in
1998, claiming that he had been <BR>| >unjustly fired, Crouch reached a
$425,000 settlement with him. In return, <BR>| >Ford agreed, among other
things, not to discuss his claim about a sexual <BR>| >encounter with the
TV preacher.<BR>| ><BR>| > But in the last year, Ford has
threatened to go public with his story, <BR>| >prompting a flurry of legal
maneuvers - conducted in closed court hearings, <BR>| >sealed pleadings and
private arbitration.<BR>| ><BR>| > In court papers, Crouch
has denied the allegations, and ministry <BR>| >officials have described
Ford - who has a history of drug problems and has <BR>| >served time for a
sex offense - as a liar and an extortionist.<BR>| ><BR>| >
At stake are the public image of one of the world's most successful <BR>|
>televangelists and, potentially, the fortunes of the broadcasting empire
<BR>| >that Crouch and his wife, Jan, built over the last 31 years.<BR>|
><BR>| > TBN and Crouch went on the legal offensive after
they learned that Ford <BR>| >had written a book manuscript that included
an account of the alleged <BR>| >sexual encounter.<BR>| ><BR>|
> In a dramatic flourish, Ford had appeared at a TBN broadcast
studio in <BR>| >Costa Mesa, minutes before the start of a "Praise-a-thon"
fundraiser, and, <BR>| >without comment, handed Crouch a copy of the
manuscript<BR>| ><BR>| > Ford's lawyer later told ministry
officials that they could keep the <BR>| >work out of public view by buying
the rights. After some discussion, he <BR>| >suggested that $10 million
might be a reasonable price.<BR>| ><BR>| > While
negotiations continued, Crouch sued to enforce the 1998 secrecy <BR>|
>agreement and obtained a restraining order barring Ford from seeking a
<BR>| >publisher for his book.<BR>| ><BR>| > Orange
County Superior Court Judge John M. Watson also granted Crouch's <BR>|
>request to conduct the case in secret, sealing all documents and expunging
<BR>| >any mention of the suit from public court records.<BR>| ><BR>|
> Both sides eventually agreed to let a private arbitrator
decide the <BR>| >matter. In June, the arbitrator ruled that Ford could not
publish the <BR>| >manuscript without violating the 1998 settlement - an
act that could <BR>| >subject him to monetary damages.<BR>| ><BR>|
> This account of the controversy is drawn from interviews with
friends of <BR>| >Ford's, unsealed court records, correspondence among TBN
lawyers and a copy <BR>| >of the arbitrator's confidential ruling. The
arbitrator's decision contains <BR>| >details about the 1998 settlement and
Ford's manuscript - both of which are <BR>| >under seal.<BR>| ><BR>|
> Records and interviews show that even as they battled to keep
Ford's <BR>| >story from leaking, TBN lawyers worried that details would
eventually come <BR>| >out.<BR>| ><BR>| > "I am
absolutely amazed that Lonnie hasn't gone to Penthouse or Dianne <BR>|
>[sic] Sawyer with his manuscript, notwithstanding the [judge's] <BR>|
>injunction," TBN attorney Dennis G. Brewer Sr. wrote in a March letter to
<BR>| >the network's other lawyers.<BR>| ><BR>| > In a
subsequent letter, in May, Brewer mentioned the anguish that Ford's <BR>|
>accusations had caused Crouch's youngest son, Matt, when he learned of
them <BR>| >in 1998.<BR>| ><BR>| > Brewer wrote that the
younger Crouch had told his then-law partner, <BR>| >David Middlebrook: "I
am devastated; I am confronted with having to face <BR>| >the fact that my
father is a homosexual."<BR>| ><BR>| > Middlebrook and Matt
Crouch have denied that there was such a <BR>| >conversation.<BR>|
><BR>| > Millions of Viewers<BR>| ><BR>| >
Paul and Jan Crouch started TBN in 1973, using a rented studio in Santa <BR>|
>Ana. Over the next three decades, they built a worldwide broadcasting
<BR>| >network by buying TV stations and negotiating deals with cable
systems and <BR>| >satellite companies.<BR>| ><BR>| >
Today, TBN's 24-hour-a-day menu of sermons, faith healing, inspirational <BR>|
>movies and other Christian fare reaches millions of viewers from Spain to
<BR>| >the Solomon Islands.<BR>| ><BR>| > Paul Crouch is
the driving entrepreneurial force behind the network and <BR>| >one of its
most popular on-air personalities. He and Jan, his wife of 46 <BR>| >years,
have cultivated a folksy on-screen image as a devoted couple.<BR>| ><BR>|
> TBN officials have long been concerned about how Ford's
allegations <BR>| >could affect the network, which relies heavily on
donations from viewers. <BR>| >Officials said they were particularly
worried about possible comparisons to <BR>| >the scandal that brought down
televangelist Jim Bakker in 1987.<BR>| ><BR>| > Bakker
resigned from his PTL Ministries in 1987 after admitting to <BR>| >paying a
secretary $265,000 in ministry funds to be silent about an earlier <BR>|
>affair. Bakker later went to prison for bilking donors.<BR>| ><BR>|
> TBN officials said they were careful not to pay Ford with
ministry funds <BR>| >in 1998. They declined to say whether the money came
from an insurer, <BR>| >Crouch personally or some other source.<BR>|
><BR>| > Ford, 41, said he could not discuss his manuscript
or his allegations <BR>| >against Crouch but he did provide basic facts
about his background and his <BR>| >time at TBN.<BR>| ><BR>|
> Ford, whose father and grandfather were ministers, grew up in
Fairfax <BR>| >County, Va., moved to California in 1989 and worked in a
string of jobs <BR>| >that included jewelry salesman, produce clerk and gas
station attendant. <BR>| >For years, he struggled to kick a cocaine
habit.<BR>| ><BR>| > In 1991, he checked into a Christian
drug treatment program in <BR>| >Colleyville, Texas, on a TBN-owned ranch.
It was there that Ford met <BR>| >Crouch. In 1992 the network hired him to
work on a phone bank in Orange <BR>| >County. Ford said he also ran errands
for the Crouches and drove Paul <BR>| >Crouch to appointments.<BR>|
><BR>| > Ford repeatedly ran into trouble with the law, but
TBN stood behind him. <BR>| >In 1994, he pleaded no contest in San
Bernardino County to having sex with <BR>| >a 17-year-old boy and served
six months in jail, according to court <BR>| >records. TBN took him back
after his release.<BR>| ><BR>| > In 1995, he pleaded guilty
in Orange County to possession of cocaine and <BR>| >served about 30 days
in County Jail. Again, TBN took him back.<BR>| ><BR>| > Lake
Arrowhead Cabin<BR>| ><BR>| > The alleged sexual encounter
between Ford and Crouch occurred in the <BR>| >fall of 1996, according to
Sandi Mahlow, a Tustin housewife who met Ford in <BR>| >a Fullerton church
10 years ago and became a close friend.<BR>| ><BR>| >
Mahlow, 50, who helped Ford write his manuscript, said he broke down in <BR>|
>tears after returning from a weekend spent alone with Crouch at a
TBN-owned <BR>| >cabin near Lake Arrowhead. Mahlow said Ford told her that
he and Crouch had <BR>| >engaged in sexual acts.<BR>| ><BR>|
> "Lonnie had a lot of bad traits; one thing he isn't, and
that's a liar," <BR>| >Mahlow said. She said she helped Ford with his
manuscript for no pay, as a <BR>| >favor to a friend, and has no financial
interest in the book.<BR>| ><BR>| > After the alleged
encounter, Ford continued to work at TBN. For a time, <BR>| >he lived
rent-free in an apartment at the network's Tustin headquarters, <BR>|
>according to Mahlow and another friend of Ford's, Diane Benson, who met
him <BR>| >at an Anaheim church 14 years ago.<BR>| ><BR>|
> A third friend of Ford's said that in October 1996, about the
time of <BR>| >the alleged Arrowhead encounter, ministry officials gave her
a $12,000 <BR>| >check to pay back money Ford owed her. The woman spoke on
condition that <BR>| >she not be named, saying she feared retaliation.<BR>|
><BR>| > TBN officials acknowledged that the ministry paid
some of Ford's debts. <BR>| >They said the network commonly extends such
generosity to employees in <BR>| >financial trouble.<BR>| ><BR>|
> Within weeks of the Arrowhead trip, Ford tested positive for
drug use <BR>| >and was arrested for violating terms of his probation.
While Ford awaited <BR>| >sentencing, the ministry again came to his
support, urging the judge not to <BR>| >impose more prison time.<BR>|
><BR>| > Ford "has continuously shown a very positive
attitude regarding whatever <BR>| >we have asked him to do," wrote Ruth M.
Brown, Paul Crouch's sister and <BR>| >TBN's director of personnel. "He
carried out his duties cheerfully and <BR>| >always tries to do more than
asked."<BR>| ><BR>| > The judge sent Ford to the California
Rehabilitation Center in Norco, a <BR>| >drug treatment facility in the
state prison system.<BR>| ><BR>| > In August 1997, Jay
Jones, TBN's director of telephone ministry, wrote <BR>| >prison officials
that Ford would have a job with the network after he got <BR>| >out,
despite his "extended leave of absence."<BR>| ><BR>| > But
Ford said that after he was released in February 1998, he was told <BR>|
>he no longer had a position at TBN.<BR>| ><BR>| > "There
comes a point in time when you have to say, 'Enough is enough,' " <BR>|
>said John Casoria, a TBN lawyer who is a nephew of the Crouches.<BR>|
><BR>| > Ford responded with his threat to sue. The
settlement followed.<BR>| ><BR>| > Despite TBN's efforts to
keep Ford's charges secret, they surfaced in an <BR>| >unrelated 1998
lawsuit. A former bodyguard for TBN personality Benny Hinn <BR>| >testified
in a deposition that during a European bus tour that year, Hinn <BR>| >had
told a group of associates about "a sexual relationship that Paul <BR>|
>Crouch had with his chauffeur."<BR>| ><BR>| > The
witness, Mario C. Licciardello, quoted Hinn as saying: "Paul's <BR>|
>defense was that he was drunk."<BR>| ><BR>| > Hinn and
six others mentioned by Licciardello, who died in 2000, told <BR>| >The
Times that Hinn never made such remarks. However, Rick Jones, a retired <BR>|
>police officer and ordained minister who worked for Hinn, said he heard
<BR>| >Hinn talk about Crouch's alleged homosexual relationship on that
bus.<BR>| ><BR>| > Jones said he was disgusted by the talk
and "got up and walked away. I <BR>| >didn't want to hear gossip."<BR>|
><BR>| > Asking $10 Million<BR>| ><BR>| >
Meanwhile, Ford began to have second thoughts about keeping silent. Last <BR>|
>year, with Mahlow's help, he wrote his manuscript, titled
"Arrowhead."<BR>| ><BR>| > Friends said Ford wanted to
expose what he viewed as Crouch's hypocrisy. <BR>| >They said he also
needed money and hoped to earn some by selling the <BR>| >manuscript. It's
unclear how Ford spent his 1998 settlement, but today he <BR>| >leads a
modest existence, living in a room of a Lake Forest home and <BR>| >working
as a mortgage salesman.<BR>| ><BR>| > Ministry officials
learned of the book in April 2003, when Ford walked <BR>| >onto the set of
TBN's Costa Mesa broadcast studio and handed a copy of the <BR>|
>manuscript to Crouch.<BR>| ><BR>| > Ford's attorney,
Eugene Zech, said that Brewer, the TBN lawyer, called <BR>| >him the next
business day. In court papers, Zech said that Brewer asked "if <BR>| >Ford
might be willing to accept $1 million in exchange for the manuscript."<BR>|
><BR>| > Zech said in the court filing that he suggested $10
million.<BR>| ><BR>| > When the parties went to arbitration,
Crouch's lawyers argued that <BR>| >publication would violate the 1998
settlement and cause irreparable damage <BR>| >to Crouch's reputation.
Ford's lawyers argued that the secrecy agreement <BR>| >was overly broad
and violated his free-speech rights.<BR>| ><BR>| >
Arbitrator Robert J. Neill ruled that Ford's right to make his <BR>|
>allegations public "was sold to [Crouch] for $425,000." Ford "bargained
<BR>| >away his right to speak on certain matters and now suggests that his
right <BR>| >to free speech trumps that bargain.. [His] right to discuss
these matters <BR>| >was bought and paid for. He relinquished that
right."<BR>| ><BR>| > Paul Crouch Jr., a TBN executive and
the televangelist's oldest son, <BR>| >said that despite the favorable
ruling, he wished his father had never <BR>| >entered into the settlement
with Ford.<BR>| ><BR>| > Crouch said advisors persuaded his
father that it would be cheaper to <BR>| >settle than to litigate. He said
TBN was particularly anxious to avoid <BR>| >negative publicity because the
ministry was celebrating its 25th <BR>| >anniversary that year.<BR>|
><BR>| > "In hindsight, we should have fought Lonnie tooth
and nail," the son <BR>| >said in an interview. "We should have drawn the
battle lines right there."<BR>| ><BR>| ><BR>|
