Saw some TBN that didn't make me cringe

NOW, I don't disagree with you but that is not what was said initially. There was a post that said nothing but documenting their wealth and then two or three people chiming in about how sick it was.

I can't stand the doctrine they preach but the fact is that was not the argument that apocrypha put forward.

#1. Propagating lies to build that wealth

#2. Use deceptive tactics to hide extravagance made possible by nonprofit donations. This kind of activity has been documented repeatedly by some of these charlatans.

Except your buddy never put forth those arguments.

If you are not smart enough to keep your own money and not send it to them or genius enough to get other people to send you their wealth deal with it. Either increase your earning potential or if that fails complain about those who out perform you in that department.

I disagree with this. I understand what you are saying, but I understand the other side too. When they cry in front of the camera about "giving so the kingdom of God can prevail" and that little old granny gives her prescription money and then people like this, presumably who are living off of this money, make me sick.

And I understand where you're coming from. I get tired of the "They're living too big" stuff, and there IS jealousy involved at times, but every single thing about TBN grates my every single last nerve. As I often say, if you've got one channel-block space left on your remote and the choice is TBN or MTV, it's an easy call.....block TBN.

For me it would be a toss up between TBN and LOGO. LOL (TBN is so far up the dial on DirecTV that we never stumble upon it.

Channel 372

What's the deal with Direct, anyway? There are, like, 10 religious channels, including a 24-hour-a-day Jimmy Swaggart channel. Boy, there's some fun for you. 24-hour Jimmy, condemning everyone.

Baron ... please don't make this into another kool-aid drinking Limbaughnesque "you just have class envy" thread ...

It would be great if their story was of 21 year old entrepreneur who starts a billion dollar social media site ... or heck, if they won Poweball ...

or I'd even unwillingly acknowledge their persistence and risk taking if they busted their behinds building up a global drug cartel empire ...

I ain't got issues with showing folks their props. ..... that said,

We've witnessed the methodology of their main stream of income for decades now ...

and it's the pimping of the Gospel and pilfering from His holy nation ... coupled with cheap theatrics ... that has caught the righteous ire of many ...

You show me how diversified they are in attaining their assets ... and the tone will change ...

If not .... shut your driveling, freaky political neo-con lawyering trap ....

Love ya.
