"A chaplain is, traditionally, a cleric (such as a minister, priest, pastor, rabbi, purohit, or imam), or a lay representative of a religious tradition, attached to a secular institution (such as a hospital, prison, military unit, intelligence agency, embassy, school, labor union, business, police department, fire department, university, sports club), or a private chapel." Wikipedia.org
I have documented much regarding Jessie Czebotar and her various schemes and machinations. That includes notable falsehoods and deceptions, such as the 3 girls photo, the satanic runes decode and her portrayal of Somerset Belenoff, a fictional character in a hoax, who she claims to have met in person and received threats from. When conducting workshops and seminars there is a litany of false Christian teachings and misinterpretation of Scripture.
There is plenty of evidence to show she is not who she says she is. Either from being trained to become a Mother of Darkness in the Illuminati to her claim of being a Satanic abuse survivor. Ultimately, she tells a lot of tall tales with little that can be verified. Hence, the ongoing controversies that swirl around her.
Despite it all, she has developed a huge following (over 43k on Twitter at this time) whereby she can stage workshops that cost $400 to take part in.
Jessie Czebotar widely bills herself as a chaplain in her social media, marketing materials, books and video interviews. This post will explore these claims.
It’s All Sort Of Vague
Ever since Jessie appeared on the scene, besides billing
herself as a high level satanist trainee, she maintained her professional image of a chaplain. It is factual that she earned a Masters of Divinity Degree from Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon. But her resume for work as a chaplain is sketchy.
One of the first things I noticed about Jessie Czebotar early on is the way she documents her life and personal history. Her stories are vague, devoid of the usual details one normally provides when one provides an accounting. Her stories are filled with characters who remain largely unnamed. These tales work as summaries but not for finding out who this person really is. In turn, it makes it hard to research her claims to uncover if they are true. She’s lucky, as her numerous video channel supporters fail in their interviewing and asking hard questions. They just let her ramble on. She gets help from pro Jessie blogger Veronica Swift repeats Jessie's stories with little to no investigation of facts. (Incredibly, the regurgitation is so loose Swift includes mistakes and half-truths that go uncorrected.)
When she tries to be more specific she stumbles into needless wrangling as already mentioned.
An example of her ambiguity is the story she related on a Carmen Studer video (since taken down) about working in a nursing home. While there, a man named Ralph would appear. He was a friendly retired man of good will and would chat with people and hand out cookies. A year later in 2010 (a rare listing of a date) Jessie had a new job at a VA Hospital. While on rounds she ran into Ralph, now confined to a bed and in his last days. Jessie expressed surprise in finding Ralph since she had not known his surname, only to discover it upon finding him. He was alone, without family and Jessie said she was there as he passed away. In this example, she never states the names of the nursing home or the VA hospital. No city location or time of year either. Not even Ralph’s last name is provided.
How does anyone verify this story as true? There is nothing to investigate. She was not pressed for details by her interviewer and so her account stands as-is. The story does serve to make her appear compassionate to a lonely old man so he would not die alone among strangers.
Who tells their back story devoid of details like this?
Resume
In her various video and podcast interviews she lists being a chaplain at a hospice, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. In not one instance has she ever listed the names of these places, date or month, cities or states.
This image above is about as close as one will get to a resume. Actually we get more details here than on Jessie’s LinkedIn page which says “Chaplain” and nothing more.
She details education, various services, ministry assistance and experience. But once again, no listing of healthcare organizations, secular groups or companies. No accounting for other ministries she has claimed to have worked with. Posts her educational background but does not name the college she got her Masters of Divinity from (Multnomah University - https://www.multnomah.edu).
Once again, her history is big on achievements with little to nothing to back it up.
It should be noted that a chaplain normally is associated with a Church, or if of another faith, Synagogue or Mosque. Jessie appears to not have any affiliation with any church. If she is affiliated, why not mention it? Why be so closed about one's personal bio?
Her pictures on her Facebook page go back to 2012. Not a single picture of herself in any of the working environments she has mentioned. No one that worked with her in these areas has ever come forward, so no corroborating witnesses. In her Facebook posts there are no mentions of working as a chaplain. She only appears on video channels owned by her apologist “friends” where she won’t be asked any questions regarding these missing details (or for that matter, any outlandish claims).
She still promotes herself as a chaplain through her Illuminate the Darkness ministry despite her not doing any chaplain work at this juncture and has not been for at least 3 years. She is currently conducting seminars, fundraising for numerous issues (veterans, whistleblowers, special causes, herself, etc.), publishing books, selling merchandise and making the rounds on friendly video channels.
There does seem to be a shift towards promoting herself as a whistle blower and a Federal Witness. Blown the whistle about what and to whom? Digging deeper one finds these are tales of self promotion with no real facts to back it up. If documents are presented they are in the wrong formats, handwritten and not typed. Jessie depends on the ignorance of her followers' knowledge of basic procedures in court filings to spread inaccurate information about herself and her deeds.
As far as being a Federal Witness goes, read what the US Marshals Service says about that HERE. And you will see how little it has to do with Jessie's claims of being a Federal Witness.
In an attempt to extra proof she posted this ID card online. What is the thumb covering up? The image is severely cropped making it impossible to determine what the ministry affiliation is or professional organization. It should be noted that chaplain ID cards are easy to come by. You can order them off Amazon without providing any proof of one’s identity.
In Summary
- Her listing of ministry work at hospitals, a homeless shelter, hospice, homeless shelter, etc, are never named.
- No dates or locations for these organizations.
- Rarely mentions fellow workers. None have come forward to verify Jessie Czebotar worked with them.
- No work history listed on online resume sites such as LinkedIn.
- No photos of workplaces, interior or exterior.
- The ID shown is severely cropped to not identify any ministry affiliation complete with mysterious thumb cover.
- No Jessie Czebotar is known to be a member of any professional chaplain organizations.
- It is not known what current church Jessie Czebotar is a member of or affiliated with.
- Online people search sites do not show any work history for Jessie Czebotar.
In Closing
As it now stands, there is much to question whether or not Jessie Czebotar is a chaplain or has ever been one. There is, in effect, no proof available except for her own accounts. She most likely is not one now with her ministry efforts and ongoing fundraising, workshops, merchandising, etc. It begs the question of why one would be so secretive about a stated career with no paper trail to follow.
Ultimately, do your own research and seek the truth.
Notes
8.21.22
There are a lot of things Jessie Czebotar does that would further question her credentials of being an actual chaplain involved in a Christian ministry. Everything from condoning the blasphemy of satanists to false Biblical teachings. The following are examples.
Jessie finds it amusing that a chopped up Bible where God’s Word is replaced by a satanic book complete with a pentagram. What Christian chaplain would find this funny? God's Word chopped out of his own book. The condoning of blasphemy.
Jessie gives a speech about her spiritual mentor, New Age thinker Walter Russell. No mention of Jesus being a mentor or influence. Then ended on a false teaching that Christians need to ask God for 'permission' to do good works. As if Believers are on a leash.
