It takes a special kind of dirt bag to steal from the emotionally distraught. While most churches engage in behavior that involves going out into their community to give back and are involved in programs such as food drives, and providing financial assistance to the community at large in the form of rental and utility assistance - the bloodsuckers at Spiritual Counseling Network currently known as Hickory Refuge Church aka www.zahrabaker.com are doing nothing more than TAKING, TAKING and more TAKING from a community that is already on its knees because of the death of 10-year old Zahra Baker. These men jumped on the opportunity to use this dead child's lifeless body as a marketing platform. They have an agenda. They have had an agenda since October 15th when Brandon Greeson bought the zahrabaker.com domain.
Most ministries would be out in their community speaking to their fellow man about Zahra's life and trying to make sense of her senseless death, but not Timothy Curtis the FAKE credentialed doctor or Brandon Greeson, the online ordained ministers who operate the Zahra Baker Fund. Instead of doing what most clergy do in a time when their community needs them to help a torn community heal, they've got their eye on the money and are pushing people to give money to them. Just last week they were working the crowd on their Facebook group to keep donating so they could make their $10,000 goal by the weekend. That was before their group was shut down. *smirks* Hmm, wonder how that happened.
When Spiritual Counseling Network applied for exempt status with the Secretary of State's office they were obviously contacted again by the State for additional information. It was this letter that was sent to the state that we found HYSTERICAL. Tim Curtis needs to take a remedial English class and learn punctuation placement. I have transcribed the letter he sent to the Secretary of State and have included the rogue periods and misspelled proper nouns. Even I, am embarrassed for this giant pile of cow dung for his lame attempt at trying to use big boy words and not have a clue.
In response to your letter dated October 20, 2010 I make the following statement on behalf of Spiritual Counseling Network:(aka douchebags) source
Spiritual Counseling Network is a church headquartered at 825 3rd Ave. NW. Hickory, NC 28601. Spiritual Counseling Network has the following mission statement from our bylaws:

Our statement of faith:
ARTICLE III
Statement of Faith
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ His only son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost. born of the virgin Mary. suffered under Pontius Pilate. was crucified. dead. and buried. He descended into hell: The third day He rose from the dead He ascended into heaven. and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty from there He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost. the church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
We worship in a variety of settings including at our headquarters, sidewalks, parks and homes at various times throughout the week. I am an ordained minister and serve as co-pastor with Rev. Brandon Greeson, also an ordained minister.
We believe in miracles. signs and wonders. We believe in divine healing. We believe in angels and demons. We practice the rite of exorcism. We believe the same spirit which raised Jesus Christ, from the dead lives in us and speaks directly to God thru us in unknown tongues. We believe God still speaks and we listen for His voice and unction and obey Him and quench not his Holy Ghost.
We believe in anointing the sick (physically and emotionally) with oil, as a symbol of faith and with faith the sick can be healed.
We believe in, administer and partake of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ on a daily basis. We believe in the miraculous healing and transforming power of the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ (Holy Communion).
We believe we have been called heal the broken hearted. set at liberty them that are captive and preach the acceptable year of the Lord. We believe we are living in the last days and are being persecuted by the State of North Carolina. We are the remnant seed of Christ as described in Revelation 12:17. We believe that we are all walking churches. as the Holy Ghost lives within us.
We believe that we have been called to minister to those that society has deemed “beneath them.” We open our arms to alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals, bikers, as well as people with piercings and tattoos just as our Lord at with publics and sinners.
No one has ever profited from Spiritual Counseling Network. No ordained minister of the ministry has ever taken as much as one penny in compensation. It is an honor to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and we will stand firm on His word even unto death.
Spiritual Counseling Network has two assumed names: “Refuge Church” and “Zahra Baker Fund”. When the Holy Ghost leads us to a physical place to plant a permanent structure it will be called Refuge Church. Zahra Baker Fund was established to assist in finding this missing child, collect funds for counseling/individual ministry for those directly impacted by her disappearance and possible murder and to assist in a proper funeral/burial or the cost of transporting her body back to her native land. The balance of the fund will go to other non-profit organizations that help find missing and exploited children and that fight abuse and neglect.
If you have further questions about our church or would like more information on how you can be endued with power and filled with the Holy Ghost please feel free to contact us. You and/or your colleagues would also be welcome to worship and partake of the blood and body of our Lord Jesus Christ if you so desire. God Mercies be upon you.
In His Service.
Rev. Dr. Timothy E. Curtis
Rev. Brandon Greeson
The sincerity behind this letter penned by the Dr. Rev. Urinal Cake is a JOKE! It is obvious that Tim Curtis is full of shit. He and his cohorts are no more a church than my dogs are the Church of the Many Dog Turds. That's my opinion, and I am sure one that is shared by many.
EDITED TO ADD: Please note that some of the links contained in the comment section are NSFW! They contain the porn sites alleged to be used by Brandon Greeson (username brgnrh of Hickory, NC) and Tim Curtis (username ncchub26). View at your own risk!
Out standing. People are tired of being bullied by these 2 men. They shout out insults & threats at anyone who questions their ethics, morals, education & if they sincerely live their life as "men of God." They portray the questioning of their mission in the Zahra Baker Fund as equal to the persecution of Christ himself. They will hide behind the "they are only out to get us because we are Christians or because we are gay" to try and gain sympathy. IMO, I don't think you live your life in a Christ like way & I personally don't care what your sexual preferences are. I do care about holding yourselfs out as a spritiual counseler when you have no education or degrees in that area. I do have a problem with you using the name of Zahra Baker to collect money from a community of hurting people. IMO you are predators in more ways than one. If you had nothing to hide, IMO, you would be spending so much time re doing websites or blocking IPs. Why do you care how many times someone would look at the website, I always thought the more traffic the better. If someone is reading, thinking about donating, researching what you have to offer, where is the issue? Maybe they accessed it many times because they got interrupted by a crying baby or a phone call. Life happens. To say someone is being "malicious" because they do to your site is a stretch. You are reaching, trying to find out what information has been turned over & to whom. Keep reaching, you'll know when the authorities decide it's time for you to know. I suggest you spend today in prayer asking for the Lord's forgiveness because in the end he will sit in final judgement.
Everyone has a right to an opinion; Greeson included. In fact, he expressed his opinion against a political candidate because he found this candidate's RELIGIOUS views, on LGBT, “. . . to authenticate his bigotry”. Greeson also identifies himself as a member of the LGBT community.
Here's the address for Greeson's post: http://www.interstateq.com/archives/2489/
Greeson is entitled to his opinion regarding this candidate.
Greeson is entitled to express his opinion.
Greeson is also allowed to question this candidate's religious sincerity.
And the public is entitled to opine and question you, too. You are not immune to scrutiny.
Come out, come out wherever you are!
You want the public’s money and support . . . at least show them what they’re paying for!
Greeson thinks that opinions are only one way - his way. He nor his counterpart have yet to provide ANY documentation regarding their credentials, nor the amount of money they have collected nor from who. Their mission as far as the fund is ridiculous. HOW have they tried to assist in finding Zahra? Have they gone out to look for her remains?
Keep public awareness of Zahra's disappearance alive.
Provide access to individual ministry and/or professional counseling to individuals impacted as a result of Zahra's disappearance (teachers, police, neighbors, friends/family, etc).
In the event of Zahra's death, to provide resources to give Zahra a proper memorial service, arrange transportation of her body back to her native Australia (if desired by her family) and/or arrange transportation for her immediate family in Australia to come to the States.
Provide support to other organizations that educate the public about child abuse, neglect and exploitation.
HOW have any of those been met, and boys? Why is your zahrabaker.com site currently redirecting to your other pretend church? Are your butts getting hot?
This video says it all...

Here they are at a community made memorial for Zahra surrounded by flowers, teddy bears, hand painted signs and little notes left for Zahra from people in the community so heart broken over this tragedy and what do they do? They tape up a flier. Is it a flier expressing their thoughts or maybe even a Prayer for Zahra? No it's a flier asking for money! Nothing more, nothing less! Then Brandon is so proud of his little flier that he even takes a picture of it. How sweet and touching is that? How many real Ministers do you know that would desecrate a memorial site with their own selfish plea for money? None! A real Minister would stand there and offer prayers with those who came by free of charge!
They wonder why people question their motives? They put themselves out there. They made themselves known to the public. They want the public's money so we as the public have every right to ask and question their motives. We as the public have every right to look into what these two are all about.
Let me just say that I am completely sickened by what I have seen and read about both Brandon Greeson and Tim Curtis. I wouldn't let them counsel my dog let alone any loved one in my family. They are two very sick pigs!
BTW Brandon, Orange thong? Honey someone should of told you orange is not your color and please, next time, pop the zit first before you have a picture taken of your ass! Oh and Tim, my sympathies on your "smaller than average size"
LOL @ "smaller than average size" - *falling off my chair laughing* and he likes golden showers? I'm just stunned. I, too am SICKENED by the vulgar display of GREED. They don't give a crap about this little girl. This was NEVER about Zahra Baker. It has and is to this very moment about pushing their own agenda.
Brandon Greeson dared file complaints against a DJ for making an OPINION about an on-air kiss, yet Brandon doesn't think that his ass hanging out or the videos of him "pounding a 19-year old" are vulgar and distasteful to some? Really?

Not to mention the video he made of the guy on his patio spanking the monkey (no offense to any "Monkeys" LOL). Course he claims on that site that it is a security cam that caught the guy on his patio but you can clearly see the guy talking to the person in the house! Do people have a habit of aiming security cameras crotch level? Or is Brandon going to claim there is a roving band of little people running around Hickory trying to break into homes which is why he had the camera aimed so low? Where were his children when he made that video? They were too young to be in school.
I can not for the life of me believe the stupidity of those two. To think for one minute those sites would not be found. To think that people would just hand over their hard earned money and not once question where it is going and who these people are.
They obviously didn't do their homework well. They never once glanced at one crime forum. If they did, they would of known right away that there are those of us out there who will find everything there is to know about them when they try to profit off of a dead and or missing person or child.
Message to the next scammer out there. Don't try it, cause we will find out if you are a fraud or not just like we did with these two bozos.
I see Brandon is cleaning off his pr0n site. Isn't it rather telling that instead of deleting the account completely, he just removes his ass picture? Interesting to say the least. Not to worry though Brandon screen shots have been taken and handed over to the right people and as Sandy would say, "You're Welcome" :)
I've heard of people showing their ass,but in Brandon's case he really does, or did. He must think he's sexy. Did anyone notice the donation button on his pr0n site?
Thanks go to those who have pursued finding the facts. Zahra did not have a family that advocated for her. She has become the community's child now. It is so sad that certain people have chosen to seize on the emotions of those who are forever affected by this child's story and probable terrible demise. Buying the ZahraBaker.com name is unforgiveable in my opinion. There are so many other ways to raise funds should they be needed than to use this tragedy to promote oneself and activities. The recent revelations being discussed here today make this fund raising effort even more dispicable that I could have ever imagined. Someone please tell me there is a mistake regarding what has been discovered.
There is no mistake. What these pigs did is unforgivable and I hope their community shames them into hiding.
Oh trust me there is no mistake. These two vile pigs have been caught in their scam and are now redirecting their fund website to their outreach site. They are deleting everything in hopes no one saved it. Scared much? Too bad, so sad it has all been saved!
Their ass is grass and it's time to mow.
(OMG that just gave me a horrible visual after all I have seen LOL)
Thanks for clarifying that there is no mistake. This makes me wonder how much more might be out there?
It is kinda like waiting for the next shoe to drop. This makes me angry and even more sick about such individuals attaching themselves to this situation and using Zahra's name. I want to be hopeful that something can be done about all this.
Anon, I signed up for my online ordination tonight, so I would like to be now known as Sister Sander, but I would say light a candle tonight because I do believe that come the morrow, the boys will be served up a nice steaming plate of crow. Can I get an Amen?
Amen sista and a hell yeah. What is that Springsteen song? "glory holes, glory holes" oh no wait it's "glory days glory days" Both apply
Amen Sista Sander. I hope the fake "rev's" enjoy crow. LOL!
THESE TWO ARE THE MOST SICK & DISGUSTING EXCUSES FOR HUMANS THERE ARE! I HOPE EVERYONE SEES THEM FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE!
Hey frauds! Press Release? Wow . . .great spin!
Why not call it what it really is – BULLSHIT DAMAGE CONTROL. Classic format, too.
First, you reiterated your genuine and righteous intentions.
Second, you played the victim.
Third, you stated a specific dollar amount contributed.
Fourth, you reaffirmed your commitment to the cause by offering alternatives for contributors.
Fifth, you attempted to close the door for discussion with the “legal advice” card.
It’s pabulum, boys . . . plain and simple.
Threats of violence and yet, no police or incident reports?
The board of elders decided to suspend your efforts? But wait . . .YOU ARE the Board of Elders!
Again . . .NO documentation to support ANYTHING you claim as fact.
So . . . I ask again: What is your NC Pastoral Counseling License Number?
C’mon . . . SCN and Refuge supporters! Where are you now?
It seems very suspicious that they pulled websites down and now are pulling the fund. What happened to the pastoral counseling? Are they still doing that? Why isn't the Refuge registeredwith the state? All of these questions and no answers from these clowns but they sure wanted our money!
Uh oh . . .
"The Spiritual Counseling Network's co-pastor, Brandon Greeson says the group is cooperating with the Attorney General office's inquiry. Greeson says the Attorney General's office wants to see their paperwork on donors, donations, charity status and tax records."
I guess the AG didn't get the press release!
Where's the "good" doctor? One would think that Rev Curtis DD would be front and center defending his ministry's good name.
And why is Greeson making statements and not "church's" attorneys? Queer . . . very queer.
