Kimberly Daniels "Demon buster or demon driven"?

[Cheshire Cat]

  Kimberly Daniels



Looks like the "self proclaimed" holy woman and demon buster is minus campaign ethics.  She is using campaign funds to promote her demon busting practices and books. Seriously Jacksonville,  you can't make this stuff up.  So is it legal?  Apparently it depends on how you "interpret" campaign finance law.  To challenge her on this a citizen would have to file a personal complaint but even if it were filed it would remain secret.  So it's a waste of time and energy at this juncture.  Bottom line is "slippery is as slippery does" and this woman knows how to slide.  So the next time we see a article slamming Jacksonville as "backwoods ignorant", send a thank you card to Kim Daniels for she sure is doing her part to make us look that way as well as those who vote for her.  FOP, you guys support her and gave her money?  Why, really why?   

A Jacksonville City Councilwoman decided to promote all three — her business, ministry and product. And to do this, according to campaign finance records, she used campaign funds to purchase advertorial space in the magazine, but she didn't include the disclaimers required by Florida Statutes Chapter 106 for political advertisements. At 
the very least, her $4,000 outlay is a questionable expenditure. Daniels has gotten money from everyone from W.W. Gay to the Fraternal Order of Police. Did they know their campaign checks were going to promote her book about demons?

On March 1, 2014, Kimberly Daniels listed, as a reelection campaign expenditure, $4,000 to Shofar for the purpose of "advertising." (Thanks to Change4Jax.com for bringing this material to my attention.) But she didn't place anything labeled as an advertisement in the magazine — not from her campaign, not from her political action committee. What she did, instead, was use funds from her campaign treasury to promote her own Christian ministry.

She did this in the form of what are apparently pay-for-play, unlabeled-as-advertorial essays discussing her leadership style and her, shall we say, unique book.

In the magazine's Spring 2014 issue, Daniels — the founder of Spoken Word Ministries, Kimberly Daniels Ministries International and Rhema Way City Church — promotes her new book in an essay headlined "The Demon Dictionary Is Released!" In it, she thanks every "Commander of the Morning" who has helped the book "find favor" with Walmart's distribution arm, asking that every "Commander" order "1-5 Demon Dictionaries to plant a seed in someone's life," as she needs help to "penetrate the marketplace for Jesus."

Daniels encourages readers to "not be afraid of the dark world. 'We ought to be afraid of smoking cigarettes, marijuana, lying and cheating, and treating others wrong. We ought to afraid [sic] of living like hellions, and not being equipped by God to deal with situations without being suicidal, without being checked into mental institutions.'" (It is not clear whom or what she is quoting here. This section, it's worth noting, is accompanied by photos of her with Matt Shirk and Shad Khan.)
