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.

Dan, did you leave your reading glasses at home? Too much caffeine?
My problem isn't with those that condemn these TBN folks from fleecing the flock. My problem is when someone posts that assets of someone and that by itself is supposed to be bad.
The fact is if you folks are going to accuse them it is on YOU to show that their income comes from flock fleecing and not other means. Now the facts very well may be that they get the vast majority of their income from telethons and if that is the case then someone can right say they took X number of dollars from people preaching garbage but in the absence of such numbers...
Lose the Rachel Maddow rhetoric (If you don't know who she is there is a channel on tv where she can be found, though it has less viewers than TBN, but is about as trustworthy with the facts.)
