In fairness I thought it would be useful to share this link to an article written by Bob Rogers, pastor of Evangel World Prayer Center in Louisville, Ky. He is apparently a close personal friend to Cho and claiming that Cho’s troubles are due more to a lack of paying attention than to anything wicked or corrupt. Still, Rogers must answer Ha Sang-ok, a former church elder, who said:

“A sect leader might violate the commandments and do as he wishes, but a pastor cannot do that. Over the past 14 years, I have met with Rev. Cho many times to try to persuade him to repent and return to being a great pastor, but the corruption has continued. That’s why I had no choice but to disclose it to the outside world (Huffington Post article).”
