Biography
Jesse Lee Peterson is a religious broadcaster. He runs BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, and a YouTube channel.
What Can Be Documented
BOND is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in Los Angeles with an IRS ruling date of October 1997. No financial data is extracted for it in the IRS records available here, which suggests it files below the threshold for full Form 990 reporting — that is, it is small.
His YouTube channel was created on 3 July 2009 and displayed 625,000 subscribers on 1 September 2026. A channel created in 2009 puts him among the earliest sustained users of the platform for this kind of programming, which is the one substantive claim on the previous version of this page that the record supports.
Relevance to This Site
This page is referenced by no other content in the repository — modpol lint people --check orphans lists it as one of four orphaned pages assigned to this batch. It is retained because the 2009 channel date documents an early instance of the format the site tracks, but it is a candidate for a scope decision when the collection is reviewed.
What Is Not Established Here
Removed in the citation audit: his birth year; the “300K+ YouTube subscribers” figure, which was roughly half the platform’s current display; his second programme listed as an affiliation; and the description of him as “a widely discussed online figure”, which asserted a reception without a source. The IRS record and the channel metadata are the only sources read in this pass, and they establish the organization’s registration and the channel’s age and size.
