Controversies[edit]
Diploma Mill "Doctorate"[edit]
Howard-Browne claimed to have earned a "doctorate of ministry degree" in 1992 from "The School of Bible Theology", a
non-accredited Pentecostal correspondence school in San Jacinto, California, which has been described as a “
diploma mill”.

Multi-level marketing and Monavie[edit]
Howard-Browne and his wife Adonica were top-ranking (“Black Diamond executive level”) distributors for
Monavie, a
multi-level marketing company that sold
acai berry juice-based beverages until folding in 2014 subsequent to a $182 million loan default and allegations of
pyramid scheming, fraudulent advertising, and
patent infringement.

Plot against Donald Trump[edit]
In July 2017, Browne was one of 17 evangelical pastors who visited the
White House to pray for and
lay hands on
Donald Trump.
[12] In a video several days later, Howard-Browne claimed “There is a planned attack on our president and that’s all I can tell you about right now; I know what I’m talking about, I’ve spoken to high-ranking people in the government".
[13] Howard-Browne later claimed that the Secret Service met with him to discover which congressman told him about the plot but he refused to say, citing pastoral privilege.
[14]
Human sacrifice in Hollywood and Washington, DC[edit]
In an October 2017 sermon at The River church, Howard-Browne claimed that "They sacrifice children at the highest levels in Hollywood. They drink blood of young kids. This is a fact", continuing, "The human sacrifice and the cannibalism has been going on for years" in Hollywood and Washington, D.C.
[15] [16]
Arming of The River at Tampa Bay church[edit]
Howard-Browne drew attention for a social media post in November 2017, two days after the
Sutherland Springs church shooting, claiming that his church was not a gun-free zone and that he and the church’s pastors “are all heavily armed” and would use “deadly force”.
[17][18]
Conspiracy theories on InfoWars[edit]
In March 2018, Howard-Browne made an appearance on Alex Jones’
InfoWars program during which he claimed: that a string of
bombings in Austin, Texas were used by “anarchist terrorists” who were attempting to bring “everything under control”; that churches and religious groups were being censored in the U.S.; and that “globalist gremlins” were attempting to thwart Donald Trump.
