The Temple of Praise, Washington DC

Temple of Praise is the best Church I've attended Bishop Staples is a great Bishop I understand the word when he preaches. Never attended a Church where the Bishop or Pastor spoke about their trials and tribulations of what they have been through and were brought of so I think you Bishop for sharing your story because no one is perfect and that even includes our Bishop’s or our Pastor’s. You just never know what someone has been through so treat everyone with Respect and look out for our Children.

This place is a den of iniquity. The "leadership" is focused on everything but Christ. I was a member for eight years and I watched this church change from a Bible believing, teaching, and living church, to an apostate assembly and den of iniquity. I witnessed a remarkable change when Mr. Glen Staples (their bishop) got linked up with TD Jakes by paying a huge sum of money, which Mr. Staples admitted to at a Wednesday night Bible study. (I can elaborate more on this piece, but I will leave it there).

What's worse is that this is, in fact, a Word of Faith church. If you don't know what that is, please research it. I will suffice to say that it IS a heresy, filled with new age mystical beliefs and practices that are whitewashed in "christanese" overtons. Also, this church is an inter-faith, i.e. Ecumenical, organization.

The fact that Mr. Staples has positioned his children in key places to take over the "cash cow" when he retires, should tell those with discernment something. WALTER LAMAR STAPLES IS NOT QUALIFIED (by biblical standards) TO PASTOR OF A CHURCH.

Disclaimer- I don't suffer from "church hurt" nor am I "crazy" or jilted. The Lord removed me from this place after opening my eyes to the deception and DEMONIC activities that goes on behind the scenes. Mr. Staples will have to answer for a lot when he stands before God because he refuses to repent- TRULY REPENT. There is sooooo much (facts) I can say, but I've made my point.

Enough has been said.
