Monday, June 30, 2008
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Members of a Volusia County church say they are concerned about what their pastor, who has a criminal past, is doing with the church's money.Laura Jarvi said she rarely missed a service at the Bethel Baptist Church until she found unpaid electric bills. She said she asked Pastor David Transeau where the roughly $3,500 he collected every month was going.That's when, Jarvi told Eyewitness News, he suddenly took issue with the fact she was living with a man out of wedlock and asked both to leave the congregation."How can a man of God humiliate people? It broke my heart. It broke my heart," she said.Over the phone, Transeau said it was the other way around, that Jarvi didn't start asking about finances until he started questioning her relationship.Transeau was convicted of manslaughter 30 years ago. He was also convicted of escaping from prison.
