wo former employees of the world's largest Christian television channel Trinity Broadcasting Network are accusing the non-profit of spending $50 million of its funding on extravagant personal expenses.

Among purchases, the network founded by Televangelists Paul and Jan Crouch, is accused of misappropriating its 'charitable assets' toward a $50 million jet, 13 mansions and a $100,000-mobile home for Mrs Crouch's dogs.

Their granddaughter, Brittany Koper, 26, recently filed her allegations in court after a brief appointment as the network's chief finance director in July.

... they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

LOL...just how I view this whole regime of Hussein to have been ....one long sustained faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrtt.

This whole notion of charismatics is a good analogy to the campaign of Hussein Obama.

November will come too slowly.

Basically it is safer to donate to Christian groups and charities that do not continually beg and weep to you for money. Or promise miracles if you give.

The better rule of thumb is to give to those groups you watch or get info from that either a) don’t ever ask, b) that ask very infrequently but for specific projects and show budget numbers for their plans, and/or c) those you trust that provide you good, sound info or are doing good works/ministering but infrequently ask for money.

I will provide a few examples (certainly not all of them) of both charlatans and frauds never to give to, and safe, honest and trustworthy groups. After all we are told in Scripture to be careful who we support.

Frauds and Charlatans never to give to:

Joyce Meyers
Paul/Jan Crouch
Rick Warren
Bennie Hinn
TD Jakes
Ken and Gloria Copeland
Creflo Dollar
Mike Murdoch
Joel Osteen
Peter Popoff
Paula White

Safe Real Christian groups that will not waste/steal/take your donation for themselves personally:

Liberty Counsel
Alliance Defense Fund
Missionaries to the PreBorn
Noah’s Wish
The Gideons
One of your good, biblically sound local church
One or more good sound local christian charity groups serving one or more different groups of people needing help

Yes, she is one over-done, er, lady

Well, they use some non-prosperity gospel type shows for a good part of the day. Now its just Crouchland.

Not that I’m a fan of Bono, but as he said, “My God doesn’t need cash, Mister.”

I Corinthians 13:8 refers to when we are in heaven and see Jesus face to face. There will be no need for prophecy because everything will have been fulfilled.
