And who wouldn't want a hug from this guy?
Anand “KA Paul” Kilari, who was arrested in Beverly Hills in April for allegedly trying to get his evangelical freak on with a minor, finally got around to providing the Press with a statement. However, it took a little time to verify the information, so we apologize for the delay. Anyway, according to Kilari’s statement, the diminutive evangelical is a hugger, not a Chester:
“Incorrect stories are circulating regarding charges that were brought against Dr. K. A. Paul in Beverly Hills, CA. For an alleged ‘hug’ following a brief conversation in a crowded hotel elevator, baseless charges were brought against Dr. Paul. Subsequently, the Beverly Hills District Attorney’s office issued a rejection slip to file a case apparently based on the complete lack of evidence.
Nonetheless, reporters trying to make a name for themselves, certain individuals and politicians, for both personal and political reasons are trying to promote the story and give Dr. Paul a bad name.

Dr. Paul, a global evangelist, humanitarian and peacemaker is known for hugging people around the world. These groundless charges without any truth have shocked and saddened him as well as his many good friends and supporters who want to hold the individuals responsible for their actions.”

A representative of the LA County DA's Office stated that the case was returned to the detectives and is "under further investigation." Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mitch McCann told the Press: “The DA asked the detectives to do a little more follow up and try to get some more witness information…it hasn’t been filed as of yet, but they’re still working on it.”

The Press left several messages for Kilari, in the hopes that he might be able to meet for a group hug, but the calls have not been returned. – Craig Malisow

HUG??!!! I have never seen ANYONE get arrested for giving a hug! Not even the slimyest, creepyest, most perverted freaks I have come across in life have gotten arrested for hugging or attempting to hug someone (unless it was a naked hug.) I know from personal experiance about his "hugs", they are demented, deviant, manipulative attempts to get laid. However he picks out people who are weak, young, or in need and offers to help them if they "help" him. Or he gets on a high horse and thinks he is King Tut and that he deserves sexual favors due to his utmost prestige! HA! And I will be the first to say that Paul has no friends left. He doesn't even have a board of directors left because they got sick of his games and walked out a long time ago!! His truest friend was my father, Doug Dodson, who spent a day with Paul back in Sept 2006 and vanished overnight and has not been seen since. If there is anyone out there that still cares for this twisted little curry smelling freak, it is only because he pays them to care or because he has them by the balls. If anyone out there begs to differ, then post a comment here just like I did!

"Dr" K A Paul (he is not a physician or a Ph.D, it's part of his scam personna)has left so many people in debt because of his beloved 747 aircraft. He claims to be for the widows, the orphans and the hungry of the world, yet so much of the donations he receives go to maintain what has been referred to as the "flying death trap"--his 747. It is presently (06/03/07) in hiding in Tijuana, Mexico from the FAA. While in Mexico he was asking me to help him "by fixing him up with young beautiful girls with BIG tits." Now, this is a man of God, preaching the Gospel? I never once saw him with a Bible. Ask him anything RE: Bible he will not know it. Man of God? Yeah, right! If you believe that, I've got some Florida real estate to sell you as soon as high tide rolls out.

Perhaps K.A.Paul knows to many people in the world.
but he is unknown to his community people,
what is gospel?
if he cannot bring his own people to Jesus Christ, so what is the benefit for him to preach the gospel to other countries or people.
it is useless- 1Ti 3:5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

He done nothing for his people or area,
hope he think his name is great , but not greater than Jesus Christ.

saying him as Evangelist? it is very sad-
you spend millions of money for useless things.

how many churches he planted or supported?
social work is only a part in the Ministry.

perhaps he should conform his call,
even devils know the bible-

so this is the time for him to realize for his past works

Dear K A Paul
At present it is good to trust in the Lord,
So He mingle with political leaders for his own benefit of fund raising, as they come to know they find his weakness , which can amke tthe money to political leaders
I am humbly request K A Paul, Trust in God serve him faithfully the Lord will lift you up if he wants, if nhe needs, he will restore the peace mission, please do not go by forece as gentiles do the things,
We are faith warriors
Pentecostals testimony is I left every things, life for christ only, when they step out the church / mission field or conference they need every things,
Please do not bluff the people, first live like a true believer and preache the gospel to people like a tent maker
Please do not use fund raising promotional methods
God know your sufferings, he already predestined your life, he lifted you more than all
Please be humble and live like a real evangelist asa tract distributor no as fund raiser in india / any countries in the world
with love a friend with correction
and encouragement
May God richly bless you
Joe

While the Christian community in India is
under severe persecution in their efforts
of evangelization, reputable Chritians like
Dr. Paul, due to their reckless life style
and arrogant attitude, will cause more
damage to the minority Christians of India.
Lucifer, the archangel made a serious blunder due to his arrogance and became the
devil. Many great evangelists in the
U.S. did wither away from fame and respect
due to their mistake of not watching the
steps. If Dr. K.A. Paul failed to read
history, he may be faced with the same crash
landing.

abigail dodson says:

Dr. KA paul was my father Douglas Dodsons associate,I know that my father has been painted out to look bad man ebcause he was helping the wrong man without his knowing so. My father found out right before his disappearance that not only did paul sexually extort one of my relatives but that he also was having an affair on his wife I can tell anyone who wants to know that after my fathers disappearance my family chose for me to call paul myself to find out what kind of information i could get from him. He is an evil man that took advantage of one of my immediate relatives and when my father found that out he wanted nothing to do with him and was finally about to walk away from the ministry. Paul may have been full of shit but I know that that was my fathers whole life and his sole purpose was to help people and i believe that my father had some type of psychic spiritual awareness that i inherited and that he got from his mother i need to know what to do with this special gift i have been given. Also my father believe that the ministry chose him and I feel like I have been left here to finish his business and have had some recently unexplainable supernatural experiences I feel are linking me to him in some way or another. Every time that I called Paul there was a different story, a different explanation. What I think happened is that my father found out that he was working for a man who was the devil in sheeps skin that tried to sexually extort my sister, and my father was the only one with the information to keep paul a float everyone of his speeches was hand written by my father I don't know what happened for my father to disappear but I know that my father was a good man with good faith in god and good intentions despite his sexual orientation he was a good god fearing man who loved other people and would give his life to save even the worst person. All the words that you thought you loved that were coming out of Pauls mouth were hand written by my father because Paul is an idiot. an evil idiot that will have to pay the price for his sins whatever he may be i know my father knew what they were and i have an inkling of an idea but the most important thing that knows is the big man upstairs who can judge a heart and sees when no one else does, and my father saw a lot that no one else did and used that to help others but my father loved until the day he disappeared and was probably praying for his (captors, murderers whatever happened) until the day his life ended if it ended. If anyone has any information that may link to his disappearance please help! or if you were one of my dads good friends that has a voice that people hear please help!! cuz i am the youngest of my fathers children and had the same tugging feelings that my father did (which he claimed were the holy spirit, along with my grandmother) and every sign is pointing to me to find out what happened to my father and continue his work. This is not a joke or a scam, this is coming from a 20 yr old girl whos been having some really wierd spiritual experiences linking to my fathers disappearance, if you are a person that can help me sort these out and make sense of them or give me any peice of information at all I would greatly appreciate it. I hope i left you all with the firm truth in your hearts (at least you all who personally knew my father doug) that he was far from an evil person, he sacrificed his life to his last days to help others and was already making plans of leaving paul and the ministry before his disappearance. I have been holding onto some serious information that I need to make sense of, and I need a person who knows what they are dealing with. But I have been having some scary religious experiences lately and i did not pick this and i think it picked my father just like it picked me that we wake up with good intentions and that my father believed like i do now after some scary "coincidences" that our only purpose is to service others and rest assured i gaurantee all of you that what you read about my dad being evil is a bunch of hoagie balogni he was far from evil he used his powers for good in all the ways that he knew how and the ways that i am trying to do also but i am seeking serious spiritual guidance or an experienced psychic or any one of my dads friends who knew who the real doug was to step forward and please contact me I have information I need help sorting out and I believe that the premonitions i have been having hold serious value linking to my father. and i also hold enough information to get paul out of the business, he is the real evil and he is still walking and talking the same religious bullshit that he doesn't follow. He would never have made as far as my dad did if my dad weren't gay, this is no hoax, and neither is the post below mine. Please contact either one of us immediately if you have a faith in god as strong as we do because I have the same special gift my father did and don't know how to use it as i am not religious at all, thank you for anyone whos out there reading this please make the right choice and contact me if you feel that you have any information that could either help me or know of anything of my father, the same tugging feeling my dad used to get i have been having now... please help! my email is abdodson@student.lsc.edu

Just a little note to help keep people from scammers on this forum. Sam Congdon is an offshore promoter who has ruined many people's lives by selling them offshore packages and then turning them over to the FBI and IRS. This guy runs two companies by the name of Rockford Global Solutions and Equity Development Group. His clients have lost millions at Bank Crozier in St. Lucia and Grenada (google failures and how FBI seized banks) as he was in on a sting operation with the FBI. He has also testified for the Senate Finance Committee on his operations and given up his U.S. based account holder list to all legal authorities including the IRS. You should not do business with him or any of his companies unless you want to come under U.S. scrutiny. Your life will be turned upside down if you try to get offshore acounts from him - Don't Do It!
