“The single word used most frequently to describe Stovall Weems was ‘narcissist.’ Nearly every witness we interviewed used that specific word,” the report stated.
The church and Weems have been in a civil court battle that includes allegations of financial misconduct and fraud.
Another recounted that an employee was instructed to purchase a car for Weems and deliver it to his home. “After the employee delivered the car as demanded, Weems told him to find his own ride home,” the report reads. “Despite these privileges, the Weemses treated people who attended to them as inferior,” the report reads. “In 2020, Weems drafted a document that instructed the Weemses’ assistants on how they were to keep each of the three residences so the Weemses would not be bothered during their transitions between homes. This was so the Weemses could focus on their “spiritual acuity” at all times.
The report said for months following the 2018 encounter, Weems struggled to form words or communicate effectively. It said he disengaged in business meetings with staff and cried frequently. The report said Weems began making strange comments about sweeping changes he intended for the church’s ministry.
Meanwhile, on February 9, 2021, Weems Group, LLC – of which Weems is the sole member and manager – purchased a home on Shellcracker Road on the Nassau River, according to the investigation.The report said the Weems Group purchased it for $855,000 and four months later, sold it to the church for $1,286,863 – an increase of $431,386, according to the report.
An email sent by the attorney that closed the sale of the Shellcracker Road property indicated that the Weems Group kept the $430,000 profit it made on the sale. The report said when the trustees asked for a five-minute break to ease the tension, the Weemses walked out.The report said the church’s cash balance dropped from $9 million in October 2020 to $6 million in December 2020 to $2 million in March/April 2021.
$856,033.33 transferred to Honey Lake Farms’ First Citizens Missions Account. $150,000 was used to buy TurnCoin on behalf of Honey Lake Farms and $150,000 was used to buy TurnCoin on behalf of AWKNG.
