man on camera may look like just a regular guy but  to the followers of his multi-million dollar mega  

church they believe he's truly holier than thou mr  taylor you also go by the name of the apostle yes

light through his non-profit organization  joshua media ministries international or

jmmi today taylor's being  deposed in a divorce case  

involving one of his volunteers a woman who  donated over a million dollars to his ministry

on november 29th 2013 jmi paid over  six thousand dollars to louis vuitton

yes what would that be for well  this is for clothes concerning my tv  

ministry as well june 2014 you spent 3  500 by jmmi to versace in the bahamas  

yes well that ain't something i purchased all  the time um well looks like you did several  

times and uh i mean i i'm a very frugal  person when it comes to this i don't see  

macy's no you don't see that you know because  macy's don't have the kind of suits that i wear  

2013 and 14 you spent over jmma spent over  30 000 in your clothes that sound about right  

what year was that 13 and 14. oh god  yes because i was traveling so much  

and sweating through all my clothes  exactly that probably wasn't enough

the hot seat gets hotter when taylor's  questioned about the ministry's fleet  

of luxury cars you testified that jama my own  three vehicles a bmw a mercedes and a bentley

does isn't it a little offensive be driving around  in a bentley and a mercedes to people that really  

um you know are impoverished and sick and ill it  could be offensive if they didn't know my life  

and the baptism by fire continues when he's asked  about a 2.8 million dollar mansion listed as a  

quote residential center by the ministry all right  so what is this residential center oh this is a um  

a place that the ministry owns well not owned  we're we're in the process of buying that  

right so where does the number two million  eight hundred and forty four thousand come  

from on your liability that's  i guess the appraisal value  

of the home wait the appraised value of what i  guess the appraisal value of the home the lawyer  

catches the tailor refers to the property as a  home is it a home no it's a residential center
