I wonder Bishop Jakes...You host various mega-conferences...In order for a person to get backstage at one of these events, do you require credentials at all? Or can just anyone meander back there to hobnob with the muckety-muck preacher types? Meh- you’re right. Such a requirement - like a press pass or event badge - would be needless.

From Wikipedia:
Thomas Dexter "T. D." Jakes, Sr. (born June 9, 1957) is the Apostle/Bishop of The Potter's House, a non-denominational American megachurch, with 30,000 members. T. D. Jakes' church services and evangelistic sermons are broadcast on The Potter's Touch, which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, Black Entertainment Television, the Daystar Television Network, The Word Network and The Miracle Channel in Canada.
Other aspects of Jakes' ministry include an annual revival called "MegaFest" that draws more than 100,000 people, an annual women's conference called "Woman Thou Art Loosed", and gospel music recordings.

Does the Bishop ask for their "filthy lucre" a la Dr. EEeeeeugene Scott?
