Baptist pastor evades taxes, pleads guilty to 9 felonies...

[Bluebear]

CHARLOTTE – A senior pastor charged with tax evasion must pay the IRS $13,000 by Monday or risk being taken back into custody, ruled a federal judge on Friday.

John Henry Walker, pastor at the Macedonia Baptist Church, was indicted last May for underreporting his income between 1999 and 2003 by more than half a million dollars.

He is also accused of evading federal income taxes of more than $125,000....

In November, Walker pled guilty to nine felony charges. Last month, the church voted for Walker to continue to lead the 500-member church north of Uptown.

1. You're starting to see the light...

In many cases, religion is just another criminal racket. A tax-free organization that rakes in wads of cash....

It's just too tempting for some..
