Meade Ministries
Meade Ministries, Lake City, Florida
Meade Ministries is the total opposite of Jesus' ministry! Jesus went out into the world, where as the Meade Ministry is secluded from the world. That should raise a red flag, shouldn't it? Jonestown, Waco, maybe Heaven’s Gate?
I mean, even the website itself is ONLY a map to their location. That's it. Nothing else. No links in. No links out. Just a map.
No NAVbar, no 'About Us' page, no 'Contact Us' page, no Biography, not even a PayPal Donate button, nothing. Just a map.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why? Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail.
There is not a whole lot of information out there about Charles Meade. But a couple of things that I do know, for sure, is:
1. (concerning Lake City, Florida, real estate) according to a Columbia County Property Records search eleven real estate sales were purchased by a MEADE CHARLES & MARLENE H. between the years of 1990 and 2008. On the date 4/7/1990 there was a $42,000 purchase and on the date 6/30/2008 an $80,000 purchase. The lowest purchase of the eleven being $2,500 in 8/16/1994 and the highest purchase being $249,800 in 7/2/2002. (I did a location search on the $249,800 real estate purchase. It's only a hop, skip and a jump away from the Meade church. Imagine that!
2. (concerning the Meade Ministries website) according to 'Wikipedia' registries and registrars usually charge an annual fee for the service of delegating a domain name to a user and providing a default set of name servers. Often this transaction is termed a sale or lease of the domain name and the registrant may sometimes be called an "owner", but no such legal relationship is actually associated with the transaction, only the exclusive right to use the domain name. More correctly, authorized users are known as "registrants" or as "domain holders".
To get straight to the point. The "owner" (as described above) of the Meade website is the same "owner" and operator of lakecityhome.com. A Real Estate agent. Hmmmm?
I don't think we need a rocket scientist to connect the dots.
Maybe Mr. Meade and his ministry is not another Jonestown, Waco or Heaven’s Gate, even though when you drive into Columbia County, it does say, "Welcome to Lake City, Florida, the Gateway To Florida." (Not Heaven). Maybe Mr. Meade is just a money hungry monster?
