This is the story of how the Kenosha congregation, (now defunct), of the Church of God Restoration, along with Pastor Pat O'Shea, obtained a very valuable piece of property that they could never have been able to afford. Bernie Tocholky shares the following information on his website.

He was a member of the Kenosha congregation at the time.

In the Spring of (I think) 2001 the Cult was meeting in a small store front that they were renting. A revival meeting was planned and others of their congregation in various states would be attending. They decided they must rent a bigger building suitable for such a meeting. So that community church was paid a visit by the assistant pastor. He discovered that it was a dying church with most of the members worshipping elsewhere. They researched the bylaws and discovered that to become a

voting member of the Community Church, the only requirement was to be present at six consecutive weeks of church services. The Cult also started paying the financial obligations. After six weeks they called a meeting since they were all voting members and now also a majority. They voted their members into office positions including Pat O'Shea as assistant pastor. A few weeks later they called another meeting. They voted Pat O'Shea as their full time pastor and gave the Chicago Community Pastor $4000.00 in severance pay. Once in total control the "New" Community Church members gave the property to the Church of God Trust Fund (to themselves). They acquired the 1/2 million dollar property for about $20,000.00, which includes the $4,000.00 severance pay. For the price of a good car they legally defrauded others out of a church, school and house that my family is living in. Probably rent-free. It's paid for and they gloat about their fortune at acquiring that property. They give God the credit for blessing them with it, although they were secretive and deceptive.
