The bank that filed a foreclosure petition against First Family Church earlier this year now wants a receiver to take over church operations immediately.

In a rare move, Regions Bank has asked a Johnson County District Court judge to appoint a receiver pending completion of the mortgage foreclosure proceeding, giving that person “all necessary powers to manage the property.”

Among the reasons the bank cites for putting the church under a receiver, according to court documents put into the public record on Monday, are the salaries of the Rev. Jerry Johnston — the church’s senior pastor — and several of his family members.

Who does he think he is, a banker?!

3. nearly half a million a year for lying his ass off - what a great gig!

but he would've made more at Fox News for doing the same thing so - what a chump.

4. Think we should all apply

for a mail order divinity degree. The write off's alone are worth it.

Bet one could argue the 'church' is in the basement of their home.
