Joyce Meyers Ministries: Fighting Wrongful death Lawsuit relating to Chris Coleman Murders

"Joyce Meyers and Chris Coleman"

Last year I posted a video taped depostion of Joyce Meyers concerning her association  and knowledge of the mental stability of  her former body guard, Chris Coleman as he was being charged and later convicted for murdering his family.

Well now, his late wife’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against  Joyce Meyers Ministries claiming  that Coleman’s employers should have known he was sending the letters, and they should have warned Sheri Coleman about her husband’s unstable condition.

Joyce Meyer Ministries has defended itself against allegations that it was in any way responsible for the deaths of a former employee’s family. A legal representative for the ministry made the assertions to a judge on Wednesday at Monroe County Courthouse in Waterloo.

“He did a terrible thing, but it had nothing to do with Joyce Meyer,” said Mike King, a lawyer working for Joyce Meyer Ministries, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The case concerns Christopher Coleman, the ministry’s former bodyguard and security chief, who orchestrated a six-month plot where he allegedly sent death threats to his own family to try and create the persona of a “deranged phantom killer.” On May 5, 2009, the bodies of his wife and two pre-teen sons were found dead in their home in Columbia, Ill. Two years later, Coleman was convicted of three counts of first degree murder.
Joyce Meyer Ministries is now asking for a wrongful death suit against it to be thrown out, insisting that it should not be forced to take any of the blame for the horrific incident.
The family of the victims, however, is saying that Coleman’s employers should have known he was sending the letters, and they should have warned Sheri Coleman about her husband’s unstable condition. Read More

    I don’t agree with Joyce Myers teachings. Because as like many other pulpit pimps it’s all about the money. But in this case I do not believe she should not be responsible for the actions of this man.

    It’s easy to blame anyone after the fact when some tragic happens.The truth is we are not mental health professionals especially in the church and we can not predict or be responsible for what a person does. It seem like Meyers is being made an easy target for money!
