Fraud involved with PPP program? NO WAY....

Trump applauded Joel and the churches outreach to Houston....bigtime outreach.

I like when $600k went missing from the church safe a few years ago. Joel said “Somebody stole my walking money!”

Why does this mega rich charlatan need that much taxpayer’s money?

[eyeamok]

This is so frikkin ridiculous, there are thousands of what Normal People call BIG BUSINESSES that received Billions of Dollars while 80% of Small Business Owners get WIPED OUT and Forced into Bankruptcy

Typical phony baloney sky pilot with a handful of gimme and a mouthful of much obliged.

I’d be totally ashamed to take it and call myself “Christian”.

If the church is shut down how do you pay your employees. Don’t care for his ministry but I doubt he is the only church.

[escapefromboston]

Now that’s what I call prosperity gospel !

Questions:

1. What do you people have against Joel Osteen? Why the hostility to him? I know very little about him.

2. Why is there animosity to his church apparently participating in the paycheck protection program? If his church has employees who were kept on the payroll and avoided unemployment, due to legally participating in this program, why is there hostility to a legal business getting legal benefits of some sort?

[Dawgreg]

Hmmmmm, wonder how much he gave to BLM? Saw his skinny arse marching with the maskless wonders in Houston over the non-murder of George Floyd! No wonder I don’t like him....this is a silly idea but somebody needs to grow a pair and have him account for every last dime and GIVE IT BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT!!!

That guy could sell a used car to a used car salesman.

"Osteen's net worth was variably reported to be $40 million and $60 million in 2017.[30][31] He lives with his family in a 17,000 square-foot mansion in River Oaks, with an estimated value of $10.5 million.[32] Osteen says that as senior pastor, he draws no salary from the church, which has an annual budget of $70 million,[33] and that he instead relies on income from book sales.[34]"

If true then what's the bug? If his personal income is from book sales and not the Church then it's got nothing to do with PPP. However it doesn't really fit with Christ's strictures too well and is pretty unseemly. He's probably going to have a tough time with that eye of the needle.

The Mormons call it Bleed the Beast.

I recommend we all bleed the beast, get your share before the failed Republic runs out of money. It is your money.

He is a POS
