HickTowners will remember “Pastor” Joel Ward, HickTown’s first recipient of the Bozo the Clown award. To get a complete recap, you will need to press on some of the links I provide below but trust me, this freak is nothing short of a criminal in the pulpit.
Some of his antics:
a. Serial womanizer who actually tried to talk one of his mistresses into aborting his baby
b. Filthy, gutter mouth that he used to threaten his mistress—on tape!
c. Mismanagement of church funds and property
d. Abuse of his own children
e. On and on and on…
f. INSANE congregation that refused to vote this clown out of the pulpit. Instead, they left him there to continue to prey on members
Well, that clown is BACK! He never left, really. And true to the character of satan, he has not come up with any new tricks or games. The old ones work just fine. He was able to talk one of his mistresses into believing he was going to marry her. She fell for the lie and gave this demonic jerk $375,000 and lost her home in the process! The money was supposedly for a basketball tournament but because the people of California recognize this low life for who he is, the tournament flopped.
As shocking as this may be to you, he actually still has members sitting in his cult of filth and vileness and sin. They actually wake up on Sunday morning, get showered, put on clothes, do their hair, and use expensive gas to drive to the cult which passes itself off as a church. They walk into that wicked den of iniquity, sit down, and allow this evil monster to “preach” to them.
One of his members sent me the following note:
St. Paul Baptist church Los angeles, Pastor Joel Ward Bozo the clown recipient!
I go to this church and I read your bozo the clown award for our pastor last year and wanted to update you . He is being sued by another woman he had sex with because she gave him 375,000 for a basketball tournament that was a flop and she used her house as colateral which she lost in forclosure in january 08. He promised to marry her. He was in the news last year for impregnating the choir director. He told us in service about the lawsuit yesterday and said the lady Verna who is suing is just mad because he wouldn’t marry her. He also told us that he knows he has made mistakes in his personal life, but he has been the best Pastor and has made no mistakes in his professional life. What Bozo doen’t seem to get is that he is a Pastor and all of theese “transgressions” are comitted against eomen in his congregation so his personal life and professional life are messed up.Not to mention, how can you keep preaching to me every sunday to get right and you are so wrong. We had a chance to vote him out lat year and didn’t, now this. Every year there is something with this man. First the church members sue him for stealing money in 1999, then he mortgages the paid off church to build a private high school in 2003 where all the children go free and the teachers don’t get paid on time, then in 2005 he has this woman Verna give him 375,000 for a basketball tournament where only 200 people showed up at the sports arena that seats 15,000 and he lost money instead of make money, then in 2006 the church goes into foreclosure, and he gets a loan for more debt to save it, the same year his children put him in jail for child abuse, then in 2007 he is in court for threatning the choir director and we find out they were having an eight year affiar, which means he slept with her his wife and this woman Verna at the same time, now this law suit. And during all of this we have lost hundreds of members. Attached are the lawsuit documents, She is suing the church, him, and the school. Excuse my language, but what the hell is wrong with these Pastors today.
With all due respect, ma’am, I’d like to know why—given what you know and what you wrote in the note above, why are you still sitting in the den of snakes that passes itself off as a church every week? Huh? Why are you there? It’s about personal responsibility.
In fact, in the letter, you even refer to him as Bozo. My guess is that part of why you continue to support him (and showing up equals support) is because you enjoy the gossip and the cesspool atmosphere of “anything goes”.
Every time you step through that door, you are turning the stomach of the Holy Ghost because you know what you are sitting under and by being there, you are a party to it. If your church would walk out, he would have no choice but to step down but you all stay under a demon and allow that demon to infiltrate your minds.
You asked forgiveness for cursing but based on what you are sitting under every week, cursing is the least of your problems.
Thanks for the update on this demonic clown, but you are equally as guilty as he is. I just wanted to let you know that.

Sometimes it is not easy to leave abusive relationships or destructive situations. This member (hopefully soon to be ex-member) is at least acknowledging that this false shepherd is corrupt. I was personally involved in a situation where a family member was a pastor of my church and wasn’t abiding by the doctrine of God. I struggled for a long time before I finally had the strength to break ties. I believe people sometimes remain in these dens because they are sometimes shackled by a sense of loyalty, long term habits, and in some cases ignorance. I hope this lady is praying and subsequently adhering to the Holy Spirit for the strength to escape this cess pool environment.
Wow. And I too am curious as to why that member continues to go to that church knowing what he/she knows about the so called Pastor? I can’t even fathom being an active tithing member in some MESS like that trying to pass itself off as a church. The other sad thing is this is why some people who do not belong to a church, have no intention of doing so because they hear stories like this and think all congregations are tainted and corrupt.
