Church Report Publisher Jason Christy Leaves Trail of Fraud, Associates Say

Amid lawsuits, bankruptcy, convictions, and media attention, some wonder: Do his ventures even really exist?

Hannah Elliott, Associated Baptist Press | posted 8/01/2007 03:16PM

When young, charismatic Christian publisher Jason Christy was tapped two years ago to lead the powerful Christian Coalition, the group's leaders praised him for his ability "to inspire and encourage people ...

I cannot believe how many lies and cons this man has spread to rip innocent people off for money! I hope every single court jusgement against him is carried out, and that he pays all his victims back. He should serve jail time for these scams as well as paying restitution. Everybody out there, please be very careful. Protect yourselves so you won't get gypped as well. Don't forget, even though he refuses to tell the truth to us, there is no way he can escape from or fool God.

Yeah! I would like to hear the comments of Jason's pastor as to how frequently he sees his mullet at his place of worship. Has anyone contacted him? Oh - that's right! He doesn't believe in going to church. I know a few of Mr. Christy's victims and heard the stories of him scamming money from them. I've heard conversations they have taped with Jason threatening them. How does he still walk the streets?? Jason has been known to throw himself around to make it look like he's been beaten up. As a person mentioned on here, yup "playing the victim". Give me a break! Get this con artist off the street! Is there going to be any follow up to the article written? Has his partner been contacted? Thanks to Ms. Elliott for bringing this to light.

After further research, did anyone bother to seek comment from his partner? http://www.christymedia.net/about2.asp http://www.christymedia.net/ http://www.azcc.gov/

...continued from previous... Ask him the last time he set foot in a church and who his pastor is? Then contact that Pastor and see how frequently he sees Jason. I would like nothing more than to see his scrawny little a** in PRISON for the rest of his miserable life. Jason always plays the victim and that everyone is after him. Jason is not the victim, we are!! It's a joke he's "appalled" about this story. He's probably shaking in his boots that he's been "found out" -- the country is finally onto this schemes and they are coming to an end. I would really like to see the financials for his LLC... wouldn't you all? Where is all of the money going for his Impact America crusade?? To pay his rent? Remember what happened to Jim Bakker? To all of Jason Christy's victims out there -- you aren't alone. KUDOS to Ms. Elliot for bringing Jason's scams to light. May this be only the beginning... may justice prevail!! Remember... Jason wouldn't be the person he is IF he had GOD in his life..

I am a victim of Jason Christy's cons and scams (one of many victims). Ms. Elliot was right on the money with her story. These ARE NOT personal attacks against Jason, these are FACTS!! After reading his blog --come on people -- "past incidents in my personal life that I am not proud of"?? Then fix them!!! Make them right, Jason. These "attacks" as he calls them, are in fact warranted -- they are NOT lies! And Jason, of all people, talks about leading by example.... HAHA Be the example and fess up to your cons!! Repay everyone - no matter what it would take. Are you above it? You think you are! The check is always in the mail - then somehow it would ALWAYS get lost. Amazing, isn't it? Never demonstrates one ounce of remorse. Always talks like a tough man and makes threats that he's calling the shots. To be continued....

Mr Christy has a long history of fraud and deceit; it just happens that Christians are his victims du jour. You don't have to take my truth, take a look a Mr Christy's (DOB 11/07/70) public record: http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/justiceCourts/caseSearch.asp Almost FORTY (40) court cases filed against Mr Christy in Arizona alone are hardly the record of an innocent law abiding citizen. I challenge anyone to present a shred of evidence of integrity in Mr Christy.

Is Jason Christy really is as bad as they say he is? Is it possible that he could have risen to such prominence leaving a trail of fraud? In this world of accusation and counter-charges, it is hard to know who is telling the truth. How can we know who to trust?

Why does this guy look so much like the world? Why is The Christian Coalition looking at someone that looks like the world to run their organization? Are we as Christians not supposed to look different? Are we not supposed to act different? If Mr. Christy has published all these various magazines with these advertisements why doesn't someone stand up to him and make him produce copies? I think this would end some of the problems! If the coalition wants to hire him but they are concerned about his reputation (that right there should be enough to not hire him) then sit down with him and make him prove he is not guilty. What a terrible thing to think that we as Christians are fighting and bickering like the world. What a shame we have "CHristians" that look and act like the world, so much so that we have all this fighting.

In my many decades in the business world-and in just living many years generally, I have -quite unfortunately- encountered a few Jason Christys. Rather than using some apppropriate adjectives to describe such people, I'll let the scriptures speak:" ...and through covetousness shall they, with feigned words, make merchendise of you; whose judgement now for a long time lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not." (2 Peter 2:3). "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." (Acts 20:29). And finally, this admonition from the Lord Himself:" Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits....every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth bad fruit." (Matthew 7:15-17). Hey, Jason: "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. " Proverbs 20:17
