The Wanda S Knox Trust

"MY HUSBAND, MAITLAND KNOX, WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BANK PRESIDENT"  

WANDA KNOX "TRAVELED THE WORLD AND LIVED LIKE A QUEEN"  

On Sunday 3/20/22, James Knox preached the morning and evening sermons at his church. They were titled 2 Corinthians Lesson 18 and 19. In both of these sermons Knox strongly appealed to his congregation for money while citing his parents as models for Christian giving.  One point he belabored was that in spite of his parents' poverty, they always tithed and therefore God blessed them.  For example, in Lesson 18 at 1:05:07, Knox praised his mother's supposed charitable giving in spite of her poverty:

"She's been living on $18,000 a year since dad [Maitland Brooks Knox] died. And she gives $6,000 to the church every year. I don't know many people who would be content to live on $1,500 a month and I don't know anybody who gives 1/3 of their income to Jesus Christ. You know why I didn't know that? Nobody but my son [Israel Knox] knew." 

Nobody knew this for another reason: IT'S NOT TRUE; James Knox's mother, Wanda Knox, was wealthy.  

At 1:07:50 and while feigning to cry Knox preached, 'That lady traveled the world and lived like a queen because God blessed her. You wouldn't think a person that had the income she had [near poverty level] could go to the places she went and do the things she did.'"

WHY WAS WANDA S KNOX REALLY ABLE TO "TRAVEL THE WORLD AND LIVE LIKE A QUEEN?"  

WANDA KNOX'S HUSBAND AND JAMES KNOX'S FATHER, MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX, WAS A WEALTHY INTERNATIONAL BANKER

Wanda Knox's husband, Maitland Brooks Knox, was a wealthy international banker.  As Wanda Knox stated in a recent interview (Wanda Knox-My Testimony), 

"He was one of the youngest bank presidents in Florida. He was very successful.  He worked for National Bank and they even sent him overseas on trade missions for the government."  

In another interview Wanda Knox stated that her husband was "one of the youngest bank presidents and was once the president of two banks in Florida."

DID MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX WORK FOR THE CIA?

In addition to representing the American Banking Association and giving expert testimony before US Congress, Maitland Brooks Knox was a successful bank president sent on international trade missions for the US government. During his life, he traveled to all 50 states, to all the Canadian provinces, and to 6 continents.  Why did Maitland travel so extensively?  

Given these remarkable achievements, it's odd that he wasn't given a church memorial or even mentioned by name at his wife's recent church memorial. Why is Maitland Brooks Knox's life veiled in such secrecy?

Once while describing his father's method of corporal punishment James Knox stated cryptically,

"I think it was one of those psychological tests from the CIA. HE MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR THE CIA..."

WANDA KNOX BELONGED TO THE USO, UNITED SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

Wanda Knox - My Testimony: starting at 19:50 minutes. 

"I wanted to go to college to be a teacher, but World War Two started, and I went back to work at one of the military camps and by the time I was working there for civil service I made more money than a teacher."  

"I belong to the USO, United Service Organizations and we would go each night to a different camp to entertain-not entertain as such, but to visit with the soldiers write letters for them or send packages..."

THE WANDA S KNOX TRUST

Maitland Brooks Knox set up a trust for his wife which enabled Wanda Knox to "travel the world and live like a Queen."  At the time of her death, it was called the Wanda S Knox Trust.  

James Knox preached that from the time of Maitland Brooks Knox's death until her own, his mother was living on $18,000 per year from which she tithed $6,000 per year.  James Knox also preached that Wanda Knox had been living in her son's [Israel Knox's] house until she died.  

What James Knox was careful NOT to disclose was that at the time of her death, his "impoverished" mother owned the building in which she lived with her son, Israel, as trustee of the Wanda S Knox Trust.    

JAMES KNOX'S FRAUD

The true purpose of James Knox's sermon on 3/20/22 was to manipulate his congregation to tithe.  His fraudulent claim was that his mother was able to "live like a Queen" despite her "poverty" because God blessed her tithe and therefore, even though the members of his congregation are also poor, they should tithe believing that God will similarly bless them.  Knox was careful, however, not to disclose to his congregation the real reason why his mother was able to "live like a Queen."  It wasn't because "God blessed her tithe."  It was because her husband, Maitland Brooks Knox, was a very successful banker.     

Knox's rationale is not only a lie and unbiblical, but it's actually criminal fraud to entice people to give you their money through deception.
