Mine said that plus never trust anyone who parts their hair in the middle or wears a go to hell hat. Never did figure that last one out.
Step aside and let us drive, Bob. Virtue-signaling doesn’t work no more, no more.
Alinsky’s rules for radicals #5.: “There is no defense to ridicule.”
OK. Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart and Joel Osteen got together to discuss financing the crucial business of spreading God’s word.
Joel took the bit in his teeth and said,
“Jimmy, after all your troubles, how do you determine how to divide tithes?”
Jimmy said, “Half goes to the, uh, poor and stuff, and, well, walking around money. Honestly I need at least half to make payroll and expenses.”
Joel turned to Oral: “How do you decide how much you need?”
Oral replied, “I put the love offerings into a bushel basket. Then I toss it all down some stairs.
“Anything that makes it to the bottom goes to my foundation, but I got bills ... “
Joel said, “Oh yeah, your Gone With the Wind staircase. Fair enough.
“Well guys, Miss Vickie and I use peach baskets. My sweetie and I toss all that filthy lucre up into the air. Whatever the Lord catches, He can keep.”
Is Joel Osteen a perfect man? Of course not, no man is. But has he saved more souls than his critics?
Of course it’s satire. He would be selling the books.

If JO saved them, they’re not saved.
Bold statement lacking proof, to say the least.
I think it is because the church is in Houston and they closed it even though people were trying to get in to save themselves from drowning. I THINK if anyone else in the position would have done the same, they would have gotten heck too. Of course MSM would have been mean but not nasty towards the others.
Is this helping the victims of Harvey? How about a food box, Joel? Or do you even know what that is?
Yes - you can tell by the absence of aft wake!
It is funny.
That was my point. The other poster talked about JO saving people. Salvation from the blood of Jesus; plus nothing, minus nothing.

Happy now? Or just want to throw more stones from afar?
Could God use a man with such an unbibicial theology? Sure, God used Baalam’s ass to accomplish his purpose, he could use Osteen.
What makes it so funny is it comes so close to capturing truth, based on Osteen’s true marketing prowess, his mega wealth, mega villa and grounds and mega possessions, on wings of prayers to the little people, all the way to the bank on Monday. Book sales are Mega gravy.
I laughed anyway.
“I dont know Joel Osteen or his church. Perhaps he is deserving of this ribbing, I dont know. In general I find most humor pointed at Christian religion and churches to be in the same taste as leftist humor pointed at conservatives/Trump...this is in very poor taste, irreverent, and rarely actually funny.”
You’re confusing Joel Osteen with a real pastor or priest. The only thing this “Christian” cares about is his wallet. He’s Jim Jones without the KoolAid.
“....Creflo Dollar”
Osteen’s “brother from the other mother!”
Yes, it’s always funny to lie about people we don’t like.
Exodus 20:16.
End of discussion.
“Is Joel Osteen a perfect man?”
He perverts the gospel with his utterly un-biblical prosperity gospel.
I tried watching his service once and it was nothing more than pap. And the fact he refused to open his “church” to those in need tells me everything about him.
