Televangelist Paul Crouch, founder of the world's largest Christian broadcasting network, has waged a fierce legal battle to prevent a former employee from publicizing allegations that he and Crouch had a sexual encounter eight years ago.
Crouch, 70, is the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network, based in Orange County, whose Christian programming reaches millions of viewers around the world via satellite, cable and broadcast stations.
The source of the allegations against him is Enoch Lonnie Ford, who met Crouch at a TBN-affiliated drug treatment center in 1991 and later went to work for the ministry.

Uh oh this isn't good news.
Guess I don't watch enough TV. Never heard of Paul Crouch.

Their sets look like a cross between Notre Dame Cathedral and a high-price New Orleans bordello - guess someone is into interior decorating in a big way, hmmmm...
It must have been the hair spray. Yep, under the influence of Aqua Net.
That prediction will probably come true. I know this thing. I saw Jimmy Swaggart on tv the other day with Robert Tilton besides and if that's not the sign I don't know what is! LOL
Why does that picture instantly remind me of Jim and Tammy Bakker.
There's something about California. Great place, wonderful. Libido freedom. But raise children there? They should give medals to every single California parent.
These million-dollar TV "Christians" are a disgusting lot. I sincerely hope someone pulls the plug on them.
That's a low blow...I wasn't going to post anything about "pink" hair, but now that you've brought up the subject...
Mammon preachers...all have the same rap...
Ya gotta 'give to get' and 'ya gotta give to rebuke the 'devourer'.....
The bottom line is avarice and fear of losing what you material possesions you already have....
greed and fear...and God is a vending machine you have to placate in order to get the payout..
imo
There is something evil about these blow dried hypocrites.
I had the 3 foot purple wig in mind. The image just won't go away no matter how much I drink and will forever haunt me.
According to the article, they worked with Jim & Tammy back in the day.
