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

I always suspected she was medicated to the hilt.

Taking time off from the high profile hustle and bustle of running a mega-church, Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen and his family boarded Continental flight 1602 Monday morning at Houston's big airport. They were bound for the slopes in Colorado.

Well, bless them. *hork*

I heard Benny Hinn's Nehru jacket was seen running from the scene, across the tarmac with a can of Jan Crouch's spackle and into a waiting limo...those nutty televangelists are such practical jokers. ;o)

A preacher's family flying first class?! To "the slopes"? Gimme a break. We got to drive to the Adirondacks and pitch a leaky tent on Campsite #10.

Anyone else think Osteen looks exactly like Martin Short?

wow what we can learn from a simple thread....


it's on display here.....

Some on here want to bang on them because they happen to be rich. Since WHEN does such a socialist though pervade this stie?

Some on here want to say that since he is a pastor of a so-called Mega church, he isn't the same as any other pastor. I don't quite know how to reply to that, except to say WHO are you and I to judge?

Then the most immature of all. People taking shots at Joel because his wife is attractive? What are we, 5?

Does anyone on here actually know the man?

I'm waiting for a popular talk show host to lose it..

Do the names Jim and Tammy Bakker sound familiar? Sounds a lot like this Osteen duo. Does the word scam fit in here?

Unfortunately, I do not doubt for one second that Victoria Osteen was not trying to push her weight around.

Changing the subject somewhat.

Suppose it was an alcoholic drink which was spilled which upset Victoria?

There are all kinds of sceneros which could have happened.

That got me to thinking. Some mothers may not approve of their children being in so close proximity of alcoholic drinks being service. A minister's wife especially. First class cabin where people are drinking -- is something akin to a bar. How many mothers would be happy about their child sitting in a bar?

Of course, the Olsteens knew that drinks would be served in First Class. They've probably flown FC before.

Perhaps we are getting to the place in time where drinking on flights should be banned. We can't smoke on planes; why not stop drinking. Alcohol consumption does have a tendency to cause people to react inappropriately. And inside an aircraft, that might be too dangerous.

Any comments?

It's a shame that Joel and Victoria's vacation got off to such a poor start. Even though it's going to bust the family holiday budget, I'm sending off another $500 donation to Paster Joel. Maybe he can take Victoria to a nice five-star restaurant with that money and this should take their minds off being hassled by Continental Airlines.

I told my wife that this might mean no Christmas presents for the kids this year and certainly no Christmas turkey dinner. But we have some Oncor Salibury Steaks (see accompanying photo) that have been in the back of the freezer for quite some time and this should avail us of the opportunity to finally make good use of it. As Pastor Joel would attest, maybe this is God's way of teaching us not to be wasteful and to appreciate what we do have.

Also, this will give us a good opportunity to teach the kids that Christmas is all about giving and the fact that we are helping to make Joel and Victoria's ski vacation in Vail, Colorado a little more tolerable should put rosy glow on all our cheeks Christmas morning as we sit down to the holiday feast of our Oncor Salisbury Steaks and some instant mashed potato with "all the trimmings."

I hope that my fellow Freepers will also be extra generous to Pastor Joel and his lovely wife Victoria this year. They deserve it. Especially after what they just went through.
