As someone who has been involved in some ministry activities in the Philippines (working to improve Worship in Baptist Churches) I find this guy is interested in ministry to be self-serving. I did not hear or see anything he said that seemed to indicate his heartfelt desire to minister in any way helpful to the Filipinos around him. His interest and his purpose is in to receive funding because of having some ministry. And he even admitted that it was not generating any personal income that could be useful to him. I think that it is actually a good thing that most people who have been exposed to any of his ministry teachings have been able to see his intent.

As a former minister in the prison system I have run into many people like this gentlemen that always have excuses and point out that everyone else is the reason that they are in their present situation. I'm not at liberty to assume or judge the sequence of unfortunate events that brought him to this point, but it is certainly a sad situation. I know that God Has Promised To Supply All Of our "needs", According To His Riches In Christ Jesus, and him having food and shelter at this point are the only needs that I can ascertain. I know that after 63 years of life, 20 plus of it as Jesus Being Both my Savior And Lord, that as we sow to the flesh, we reap of the flesh and as we Sow To Righteousness, we Reap Of Righteousness. I wish him they best. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

I know a girl (RN) in New Jersey, USA who was in a car accident and became disabled. She could no longer work so she applied for and received SSDI. Every few/ couple of years she has to reapply and be reexamined to requalify for SSDI (it sounded arduous). She can NOT work BECAUSE she is on SSDI. I would imagine that if she did not reapply (this guy?) or be reexamined (this guy?) SSDI would NOT requalify her. I garnered this information from her talking about it over time. IDK anything about legal convictions and work authorization. I would imagine that if you have so little income (SSDI et. al.) in the U.S. he would qualify for all kinds of "benefits" (Sec-8, etc.). CHURCHES are IRS 501c3's. Playing THIS game with the IRS is VERY dangerous. The church thing sounds like a straight-up grift to me, and unfortunately so does he.

If you don’t work hard when you are young, then you will be forced to work hard when you are older. I think this guy is suffering because of both Balance and Karma.

The people that gave them that advice were 100% correct and he still doesn't want to believe it. We've all seen people like this. People who work so hard at trying to get over on the system that they don't have time to actually do things right and take the easy way through life. And then in the end, deny, deny, deny.

To continue on with your last words, no I'm not buying it either. Person who is pointing the finger at everybody else put himself. Definitely and clearly a man that refuses to look into mirror. Let's see here. He ended up in the Philippines. Was drawing disability but it got cut off. His address back in the United States was a homeless shelter. Then let's add he has no family or support system. Seems clearly agitated by saying that he's doing this some type of congregation but nobody's giving him donations. He can't work because of legal issues that involve something with 7 to 10 years which is clearly talking about being convicted of a felony without actually coming straight out and saying it. Then he rants about nobody giving him donations, he has no money but yet he can get on KZitem and do a video. Don't that involve money? As a matter of fact is he even in the Philippines? Now which type of social security disability is it. Is it the SSI, which clearly sounds like it is because he says that he cannot obtain employment, or is he disabled And he received his full social security. Also as an FYI, SSI is a lesser benefit than actual social security. I think that's where he's referring to where he can make it in the USA. So if it's the SSI then yeah it's understandable why he got cut off. It's because he left the country. Different rules apply when you're on SSI versus having a disability and you're drawing your social security because of the result of the disability. When you're on SSI you get evaluated every so often so that way the social security administration can make a determination to see if you can continue with that SSI or be disqualified from it. That's one distinction he don't make clear. I knew you made a comment that you can't determine or speculate if he's a convicted feeling or not but I can clearly say that's exactly what he's saying without saying it. I know all this stuff because my sister has been in trouble before. He don't want to use the word felon because he knows that'll be a automatic deportation.

First off I think we are kind of on the same page on the thinking of this situation. Anyways, I've been with my company for 10 years. From what I can remember of the application, which could have changed, that it asked have you ever been convicted of a felony within the last 10 years and then misdemeanor within the last 3 years. I also know that under normal circumstances that usually after 7 to 10 years of being released from conviction of a felony that no normal employer can physically tell them that they cannot hire them because they was a convicted felon. Job positions that involves some type of security or sensitive information, now that will automatically disqualify them just due to the potential carrying a firearm issue. But as much as I hate to speculate on this current situation with this person unfortunately I kind of have to speculate. Personally I question if he has some type of legal issue that he's referring to. As much as I hate to say this but this kind of clearly sounds like a little bit of a scam within a scam. Kind of more like the feel sorry for the perceived desperate foreigner. You can clearly tell by his voice that he's clearly trying to make it sound like he's so irritated and desperate. What he don't realize is his tone of voice is displaying a lot of anger. The anger of nobody is sending him money. What he don't know is that I'm sure the bureau of immigration has already received this information and has this video and has watched this video and most likely is in the process of doing a background check. So what's going to be is attitude or reaction after he gets arrested and deported

There is no help for a single father OR any scholarship programs. This I know. I raised two kids, and had to fight the State and Federal Government harassments every step of the way. This dude made a mistake, but in retrospect, the floundering of the U.S. does cause some despair. It's not fun right now, and it does suck.

16 is the age of consent in the Philippines, so he was really in legal jeopardy.

German arrested for sex with a minor, age 17... coconuts.co/manila/news/german-vlogger-picking-up-women-for-views-arrested-for-alleged-rape-of-minor/ interaksyon.philstar.com/trends-spotlights/2023/01/11/239554/foreign-youtuber-gets-arrested-for-alleged-sexual-assault-of-minor/ Being in the presence of a Minor without parental presence; kzitem.info/news/bejne/23uswGlso4BpeKA DOJ has 2 options to assure prosecution of ex-US diplomat for child sexual abuse archive.is/qWN9M ...................... protect act (2003): this u.s. federal law makes it a crime for american citizens or permanent residents to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minors (under 18) abroad. this includes any commercial sex acts or any sexual activity with someone under the age of 18 that would be illegal if it occurred in the united states. extraterritorial jurisdiction: under certain circumstances, the u.s. government can prosecute its citizens for crimes committed abroad, including those involving sexual exploitation of minors. reporting requirements: american tourists may also be subject to reporting requirements and other regulations under laws such as the international megan's law, which aims to prevent child exploitation by notifying foreign governments of traveling sex offenders. while the local age of consent laws apply in the country being visited, american tourists must also consider u.s. laws that can have extraterritorial effects. always ensure compliance with both local and u.s. laws to avoid severe legal consequences. -------------- In the Philippines, the age of sexual consent is 16 years old. However, there are specific stipulations if one of the partners is below 18. According to Republic Act No. 7610, also known as the "Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act," any adult who engages in sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct with a minor under 18 years old can face serious legal consequences, especially if the age difference between the adult and the minor is significant and can be deemed exploitative. The Philippines has a "Romeo and Juliet" law provision to address cases where both parties are minors or one is only slightly older. This provision allows consensual sexual activity between minors who are close in age without imposing the same penalties that would apply to an adult engaging with a minor. Specifically, if the age difference between the partners is less than three years and they are in a consensual relationship, the law tends to be more lenient. This is meant to avoid criminalizing consensual relationships between young people who are close in age. ----------- MANILA, the Philippines - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has signed into law a bill that raises the minimum age of sexual consent from 12 to 16, his office said on Monday, in a bid to protect minors from rape and sexual abuse. ""Adults who seduce minors shall be imprisoned. A minor is defined as someone over 16 but under 18."" Mar 7, 2022. www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1169147 ................................ ARTICLE VI Other Acts of Abuse Section 10. Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child's Development. - (a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child's development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not covered by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its minimum period. (b) Any person who shall keep or have in his company a minor, twelve (12) years or under or who in ten (10) years or more his junior in any public or private place, hotel, motel, beer joint, discotheque, cabaret, pension house, sauna or massage parlor, beach and/or other tourist resort or similar places shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its maximum period and a fine of not less than Fifty thousand pesos (P50,000): Provided, That this provision shall not apply to any person who is related within the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity or any bond recognized by law, local custom and tradition or acts in the performance of a social, moral or legal duty. lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1992/ra_7610_1992.html

Social security benefits aren't paid to a person who commits a crime and/or confined to an institution by court order and at public expense for more than 30 continuous days. This applies if the person has been found to be incompetent to stand trial. Sexually dangerous. Guilty, but insane. Not guilty by reason of insanity or similar factors such as mental disease, mental defect, or mental incompetence..

America has more “safety nets” for people on low income and even the homeless than ANY foreign country does by comparison, so why is he halfway around the world hoping for the best? America has free soup kitchens, free homeless shelters, church ministries that can help with food, housing and jobs, foodbanks for free food, federal and state job assistance for anyone even prison parolees like him so why is he abroad in the Philippines whining about his status? He’s in one of the worst places in the world to get the level of help he needs that he would EASILY get in the US. I really don’t get him at all. All actions (or lack of them) have consequences. He’s finding that out the hard way I guess. No judgement, just observation.

As I watched the excerpts in this video, I had a sense that this guy might be a narcissist but I wanted to be sure, so I had a look at his FB. I don't have a full picture yet, but calling his ambitions grandiose would be putting it mildly. All he wants is to unify all religions on earth, all charities, all hackers, all conspiracy theorists (his own words), all everything and (I suppose) be the grand priest of earth... And unifying hackers is intrinsically i.m.p.o.s.s.i.b.l.e. So he has NO understanding of hacking and, worse NO understanding of hacking culture, but he wants to be reveared (and paid) to tell all hackers of the world, what to do. So we have arrogance coupled with ignorance and egocentrism... What could go wrong? 🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

You can work on Ssdi in the USA but can only make I think under 12000 a year . They do send letters out to check on you and if no reply they cut you off Ssdi is for people injured who paid into the system I think 30 credit. If not there is another SSI for people who can’t work did not have enough credits I think it’s same as welfare where he can’t work or loose the benefits he gets for being unable to work this is my understanding. As far as living in Philippines you can live comfortably on 800 but 1500 to 2000 live a lot better and travel
