Is a WACO-type situation about to go down in Georgia and Texas?
At 7:00 am on Thursday the FBI raided three churches with links to the House of Prayer Christian Church in Georgia.
Two churches were located in Georgia close to military bases whereas the 3rd church was located in Texas near Fort Hood.
According to some veterans, the church is a cult and “deceives the VA during inspections and targets veterans to access GI Bill funding, VA disability compensation, and VA home loans”.
As of right now, it’s unknown if these churches are actually cults but dozens of reviews from several Facebook pages believe they are.
