Legal Team, we’re diving back into one of our most requested and popular topics: Mary Cosby’s church. First, we’re zooming out to explore the bigger picture of church-owned businesses, from the LDS Church’s corporate holdings to Texas megachurches facing major financial lawsuits.  Then we’re tracing the origins of Mary’s church, the empire her grandmother Rosemary built, and how former associate Annie Lois Johnson became entangled in legal drama with Mary and Robert Cosby. From the tangled web of businesses tied to her congregation to decades of lawsuits over forged signatures and missing money, this story has it all.   Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll break down the current lawsuit between Mary, Robert, and Annie Lois Johnson that’s still unfolding.  What’s on the docket? The rise of church-owned businesses — and how megachurches like LDS, Gateway, and Second Baptist run their for-profit arms Why “church law” has become such a massive (and murky) legal field A refresher on Mary, Robert, and Rosemary Cosby’s family and church history The decades-long feud with Annie Lois Johnson, involving forged deeds and disputed ownership  Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠   The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
