    Wat.

    The preacher seems like a swell guy...

    Over the years, Stair has been involved in a number of controversies, including allegations of sexual abuse,[9] of infant deaths,[6] and that his ministry is a cult.[10] Stair objects to medical intervention, and teaches avoidance of doctors.[5] Commune members typically follow Stair's teaching, and in the 1980s and 1990s, local authorities investigated after three infants died during or shortly after birth at the compound.[6][8] In 1988, relatives were concerned when a couple sold their home and moved to the community in the wake of prophecies of nuclear war, and raised concerns that the group was a cult, whose members could not leave because Stair controlled their money.[2][3][10] The Philadelphia chapter of the Chicago based Cult Awareness Group was quoted as comparing the organization to a cult and Stair to Jim Jones.[2][10] A business colleague described the group as "bizarre", and that they "walk around like zombies. He's a David Koresh waiting to happen."[5] Stair denied the allegations, stating that he had no power to compel people to any action,[2][3] and an investigation by local law enforcement officials found no evidence of wrongdoing.[2][10]

    In 2002, Stair, then aged 69, was arrested in Walterboro on two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree.[9] Two women associated with the compound, ages 18 and 20, alleged that he coerced them by "enforcing his religious/personal beliefs" on them.[9] In 2004, Stair pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assault and battery by fondling the two former residents, and was sentenced to time served, a total of 77 days in custody.[6][9] During his incarceration, recorded programs continued to be broadcast.[4] Stair's conviction caused division in the community, and about 40 members of the community left. However, about 70 residents remained loyal to him and there are two small branch communities, which are part of his ministry[6] One former member began his own shortwave program after leaving the community.[4]
