Day Gnaw… I have it if you want me to send it to you. They are still lying about the DeLong case…

Steven

Yes, Carol, the ministry collusion in that fabrication remains an astounding reflection of the rot at the core of Homestead Heritage.

Not yet technically perjury, as afawk they wiggled out of making a sworn statement.

It is very possible push will come to shove in the court cases, smart opposition lawyers have a very handy target and could push for sworn statements from Howard, Dan, Gary, Regina, et al.

Would they continue the facade and collude in perjury?

The fact that we have to ask reflects on their lack of integrity and their dishonesty.

Btw, this claim (only George knew, not the other ministers) did not pass the “smell test” from the very beginning. (I was in shock reading the explanation.) That is not how Homestead operates.

Any pretensions of Christian honesty … gone.

From AI on perjury:

“… perjury does not exclusively apply to verbally sworn statements in a courtroom. You can also be charged with perjury, or a closely related "false statement" offense, for lying in unsworn written documents if they are signed under penalty of perjury.”

…

“For a lie to meet the legal threshold of perjury, the false statement must be intentional and material—meaning it has the capacity to influence the decision or outcome of the matter.”

Hmmmm

doe perjury only apply to sworn statements

No, perjury does not exclusively apply to verbally sworn statements in a courtroom. You can also be charged with perjury, or a closely related "false statement" offense, for lying in unsworn written documents if they are signed under penalty of perjury. [1, 2, 3]


The law categorizes these statements into specific contexts:


  • Sworn Statements: This includes live testimony in a courtroom, depositions, or signed documents that are notarized or administered by an authorized official (like an affidavit). [1, 2]
  • Unsworn Declarations: Under both state and federal laws (such as 28 U.S.C. 1746), written statements that are signed under penalty of perjury carry the exact same legal weight as a sworn oath. This includes official forms like tax returns and government applications. [1, 2, 3]

For a lie to meet the legal threshold of perjury, the false statement must be intentional and material—meaning it has the capacity to influence the decision or outcome of the matter. Merely forgetting facts or making a good-faith mistake is a valid defense. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Could you tell me a bit more about the situation you are thinking of (e.g., sworn testimony vs. signing a form)? I can give you a more specific overview of the potential penalties or legal risks involved.
