How on earth does one fit 60,000 people into a basketball arena built for 16,000?

"Well, I thought her problem might have been "big hair"; that it would not fit under the overhead storage bin. After seeing the pix you provided, I guess not."

Plebian Stewardess + Spilled Drink + $10,000 New Armani Outfit = big time wigout.

I suppose she charged the cockpit to talk to the stewardess' "superiors".

First Observation

Renovated Coliseum for 90 million dollars yet family flies commercial.

Most big money preachers have Lears and G-5s and to me are bit untrustworthy.

This guy is huge... and rich!.....I'm gonna wait this one out.

I think the people who are putting the Olsten's down need to re-examine thier own lives. I am willing to bet that at some point in your perfect glass house that you over-reacted to some one else.

"I like the guy. He is one of the top preachers in the nation."

I tend to agree with you. I'm not a religious person, but I still enjoy watching portions of Joel Osteen's sermons televised each Sunday morning in Houston. I watch because Osteen's message is always positive and uplifting.

I have no idea about their personal lives or the finances of the Lakewood Church, but it appears that Victoria has some anger management issues.

I see they were in First Class. Followers of Jesus living like royalty? - it's sad. Our Savior was a minister to the poor.

May I assume you are a big fan of the big man?

It was a sports arena, but I doubt if 40,000 worshipers show up on Sunday.

Yes they do.

While flipping through the channels on the weekend I have come across one of his services.

Every seat in the building is filled.

20,000 maybe. 40 I doubt.

A whole lotta stupidity on this thread.

Shame on all of you.

I know the Osteens and they are fine people. I knew Joel's father. The fact that they have become mega-successful should have nothing to do with anything.

Or are they not allowed vacations?

When did class-envy invade this place? I have no idea what happened here, but NONE of you have the right to judge these people.

I judge THIS to be unacceptable:

"[Madame Osteen] violently ran towards the cockpit, scaring everyone around her," said passenger Knicky Van Slyke. "Everyone was terrified about what was going on. And a bunch of flight attendants ran up and had to restrain her. She was banging on the door."

What does being Catholic have to do with any of this discussion?

Being kicked off a plane?

No, they are not allowed to get into that situation.

About the only TV preachers that I think aren't after big bucks are James Robison and Charles Stanley.

Charles Stanley is just plain wonderful. He's very humble and preaches the TRUTH.

"A Great Big Life with a Great Big God"

A Great Big God .... maybe just my issue but I believe it to be with THE Great Big God.
