I don't really know how to take this man and Destiny church. The more I look at it the more I believe it to not be of god. If Destiny are of god, why the reluctance to speak to the media and set the record straight.

oh good grief,nobody hates on jehovah witnesses, or mormons or such as yet they have the same exact curriculums as this one does.What is it about you people, you see some questionble article on a news item and then tar and feather a person without seeing it for yourseves.I dont go to destiny neither would i want to, i am not a practicing christian either, but i will not allow myself to be fooled by someones bad critisim unless i had proof. I do know and witnessed some bad people who have joined destiny and have radiclly changed their lives,in fact a majority of his membership can tell the same stories,and let me tell you some were very bad, dangerous people. Now these guys are tireless in serving those that were like them!Thats enough evidence for me to say dont go trash on others unless ive got 1st hand experience.

This article is skewed and contains false information. I was there also. The Destiny movement demands a lot of it's men, there are some radical things said, some high expectations and downright tough decisions that have to be made by individual men who want to rise to the extraordinary vision. But real men are all about sacrifice and toughing it out - all for the sake of others. For me: I tithe, I give my money, time and strength to help build this church... Why? Because I see people coming in the doors who are broken and fed up with life and if they chose to stay I see their lives getting better, family relations restored... And best of all a smile on their face. And what do I get in return? (apart from the satisfaction of seeing people's lives getting better as a direct result of my efforts) well, I came in divorced, broke (owing over $50k) - I gave my life to this vision and now I have a beautiful wife, two perfect kids, my own business, two houses and enough money to give - not just to the church but also to others who need it.... God has blessed me while I have been in Destiny... So bring on the flack Mr Media! I'm in it to win it!

I just want to thank you for bring this to the rest of New Zealands attention.
I can't believe this man has been left to get away with this for so long!
I hope the followers of Destiny find the true meaning of Destiny the one that doesn't ask you to give up your fortune, family and sole to keep the tamaki's pockets lined.

David Kahu was quoted over the weekend as saying "It's like any business- there's a hierarchy and management step in when they need to". Is he calling Destiny Church a Business? Is this honesty at last?

Well now so Bishop Brian thinks he should be a king . It is a long way to the bottom Oh how the fools fall.You cannot be a believer and do what Mr Tamiki does to his followers what he does is not christian. all he is after is wealth. and we at the bottom end know that wealth does not make you happy for long there is always something, missing He should try to pay it forward,then maybe he would discover that there are a lot of people that really need some help instead of being ripped off.

Similar case happen to Calvary Church in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, pastored by Prince Guneratnam, who is merely want money money money. He is a dictator who cheated large sum of church money and wanted control power over others. He is still abusing the church now, and we need prayer support to remove him.

jesus told the rich tax man, 'if you want to follow me, go home and gather your riches and give it all to the poor, then come walk with me' also 'you will know them by their fruits' and 'you can't take any earthly riches to heaven'. the true christians to me are the ones that live hubble lives not wanting anymore than they need, giving to the poor and living the ten commandments. I'm sure when Jesus spoke to the crowds he spoke humble, quiet and peacefully. Not standing up screaming and yelling gods word with a aggresive nature. There is no other king but 'Jesus' Brian is a Blasphemer

Dear Mr. Campbel,
I am so glad TV3 and your program have the courage to expose this fraudster of biblical proportion. This evil man is no more a bishop then I am prince Andrew. He has so far been able to reap off New Zealanders. I recalled he once quoted, " God does not want me to have a mortgage", unquote. What kind of a lowly maggot is he. Now he proclaims that he is King. As far as I am concerned, he is the king of all the toilets and sewerage in the world. What an asshole!
