**TD JAKES Earth Shaking NEWS!!!!****

[Thad]

just found out Yesterday that TD Jakes and his Wife Split up just before Megafest Last Year?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

It was told that She still came to make a public Appearance AND still attended many events to quell the talk BUT It was common knowledge amongst this group that they had split up, living seperate.

also, that this has occured more than once! I had several observers say that they noticed that he did not seem the same- burned out, stressed out, having Major family issues, etc.

Is the Jet set lifestyle causing an increasing burden on the ministry???

Seems like Ministry is more important to family in many circles...

how long can travelling extensively last...how do these folks spend time with their kids... how do they foster relationships with their spouses..

How does it work when Daddy or Mommy are only home 3 days out of the week?

How does it work when you go to bed most nights alone?

I wonder if any of these issues count?

One only has to look at some of our "evangelist's" or Pastors or Missionary's for that matter to see this happening...

Thad, in the spirit of honest reporting are we sure this claim is the truth?????

If it's only conjecture isn't this a dangerous thing to suggest?

No it's true it just hasn't been reported on any news wires or news papers but common knowledge amongst this community just as we know in the UPC when a pastor and his wife has seperated

You speak of a time past Thad. The men of the last 15 years put themselves and their families and their preacher buddies waaayyy ahead of the saints. Been in this 50 years and got family from California to Florida. I know what I am takin' 'bout!!

Shouldn't there be a balance?
