    I don't know if it's true or not.
    He did say that he's Italian, and that some of his close encounters (my interpretation) could be taken the wrong way.
    Regardless if he's innocent or guilty of inappropriate sexual advances on women, the damage is vast, and the devil will have a field day with this.
    If this is a baseless assault on Perry and his ministry by the forces of darkness, and he is proven innocent of such conduct, his ministry still may never recover outside of direct divine intervention by God Almighty.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    Blaming it on being Italian?

    He's also blaming the press. We will see, but he did say this last year.

    ""I confess at times I've been inappropriate in all this weariness of just non-stop ministry," Stone said in the message. "I let my guard down and I've asked, of course, God to forgive me for that. I sat down with my family, with my beautiful, precious wife Pam, the love of my life. I asked her to forgive me. And I very humbly and very sincerely ask those who have been hurt or offended by my actions to, please, also forgive me for those things."

    "Stone was not specific in the audio, but he did say he "acted inappropriately with them, and with words and sometimes actions."

    "The Voice of Evangelism board of directors, in a statement to the Times Free Press, said Stone was placed on sabbatical first because of health concerns."

    Then there does seem to be some truth to it. But we don't know the extent, and that woman may be speaking out about something that's already been dealt with.

    It wasn't that long ago he had been through very similar dealings. I believe the term was "inappropriate" in contact or office relationship. Was it 2 years ago? Maybe a rehashing of that now?

    I watched him on occasion, and found him to be an excellent teacher, but after this...

    I'm done!

    Just checked the article date, it's Sept 2020 and when I'd first heard of it. So I just answered my own question.

    Stone explained that the allegations against him were misinterpreted social behavior that is seen as normal in Italian culture.

    When the first accusations came out about Stone's "inappropriate behavior" in 2020, Perry admitted to acting inappropriately with female employee's.

    But he defended himself saying, "People have taken me hugging and kissing them on the cheek wrongly."

    I noticed the up-dated Ministry Watch article is dated Dec 27, 2021.

    Perhaps there is some new allegations or accusations that have surfaced since this whole thing stated with Perry back in 2020?

    I agree with Fuego that Perry would be absolutely off his rocker to repeat this "inappropriate behavior" all over again.

    I like Perry Stone. I have a couple of his CD's. I don't always agree with some of his "end times" theology," but for the most part, he is a good bible teacher.

    But most of us could agree that God will expose sin in the camp, especially when leaders in the body are involved.

    As of right now, I'm giving Perry the benefit of the doubt. I am throwing no stones. Let God bring it all out in the wash. If Perry is innocent of inappropriate sexual behavior, God will vindicate him. If not, well, we'll wait and see what transpires out of this unfortunate scandal.

    One thing I do know, this kind of stuff when it involves a high profile Biblical leader, brings remorse to the body of Christ. And the devil will exploit it with his destructive means which is what he does best.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    It states that these are new allegations.


    Here are the allegations.
    ... detailed allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Perry Stone, including groping, showing that he was aroused while fully clothed and rubbing himself, asking women in his ministry about their breasts, kissing the women on the neck and lips, asking them to kiss him in similar ways, messaging them to send him pictures and asking them to massage him


    IMO to say that's just part of his Italian culture seems ludicrous.


    The first time allegations surfaced, if I read right, I believe they sat him down for 2 weeks and said it was for health reasons. Was this sufficient?

    I'm with everyone else who thinks all things should be proven. He should have his day in court or however this is solved. But IMO it's not looking good. I hate that.
