It should be no surprise to anyone here that Cal Culpepper had his dirty hands in the situation.
I am Jeff's sister and a former PCG member and former victim of Cal Culpepper. My brother and his wife cut me off four years ago because of PCG orders to do so. Cal Culpepper also marked me, which means absolutely nothing, except that PCGers will not have contact with me.
The decision to not be operated on was Jeff's. However, Cal Culpepper did tell him that his brain tumor was for the benefit of the congregation because they needed more faith, and also the answer to what he (Culpepper) had prayed about for the congregation. My brother told me that almost five years ago, before I was cut off. That did make him feel better about what he was going through. He also fully expected to be healed one day. He did speak to a family member at different times about "when he gets well"
The request to send donations to PCG was Lucie's idea. I was told that by a family member who was there when she wrote it up.
Yes, a PCG minister did the service. He spoke a few nice things about Jeff, but Cal Culpepper does not allow real memorial services where people can get up and speak about the deceased. Those things are PCG controlled. There were many PCG members at the memorial and most were scared to be around me, even though I have known many of them for years, including a friend of 30 years who was my maid of honor when I got married. Most looked like mind controlled zombies and scared to talk to me, but not all. There were a few who acted normal and were loving. Greg Nice did the service and he was nice to me. I was glad Cal Culpepper was not there because I don't want to see him or be in the same room with him after all he has done to me and many others.
