Cranford recently won a court settlement against Christy.
Nonetheless, Christy told ABP July 30 that charges The Church Report has not been printed regularly are false. He did not offer proof.
Christy has other ventures besides the website and magazine. He founded a political action committee in 2006 called Impact America and CR Connections, a Christian online dating service. His website lists him as the "founding publisher of various publications including Church Business, Modern Car Care, PetroMart Business, Marina Business Today, and Church Executive."
At least some of those businesses are bogus, McCullough and others say.
"All Jason Christy is doing is scamming Christian leaders to get them to buy advertisements in his fake Church Report magazine, just like Christy's fake PAC called Impact America, and his fake news service, and his fake dating service that has one member, a Star Trek geek no less," McCullough said.
Apparently, Christy is getting accustomed to the mounting accusations. He said he is well aware that some people have said bad things about him, but he maintains the charges are untrue.
"I'm appalled that you're writing this," Christy told ABP. "I'm appalled that this continues to go on."
"I'm not going anywhere," he concluded. "I'm not going anywhere."
