"Men had been encouraged to get vasectomies and the women who were pregnant were encouraged to get abortions. In addition to that, some of the men told Bob that they were asked by Rev. Angley to undress so he could inspect them" before and after their operations.

Oplinger acknowledges the allegations took the paper by surprise.

“It’s been a long-established organization with a loyal membership. It’s difficult when you hear something about an organization you haven’t had reasons to raise questions about. But when we were presented with a recording from one of the services that anyone could have attended, it had an open discussion of these issues. It was like an open door to do an examination, and there were plenty of people willing to talk."

The series also delves into allegations of whether a former associate pastors who left this summer was among those who were "touched in ways that made him uncomfortable" by Angley. And it examines the financial aspects of the ministry, including Angley's use of a Boeing 747 and the "continued use of volunteer labor as a labor-of-love for the for-profit restaurant" connected to the church.
