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

[miele man]

I certainly think you can add D. James Kennedy to your list of those not after big bucks.

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

I don't know the motives of others, but I agree with you on these two.

Whenever I hear a TV preacher talk about "sowing a seed of faith" I never hear him suggest that you do it for a neighbor who can't afford groceries or something like that.

One died last month--tagline.

Another TV preacher not after the big bucks--also now deceased: Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.


Current favorites: Fr. Pacwa and Mother Angelica.

Billy Graham is the most honest and down-to-earth, you ask me. I don't see him living in a mansion with an air conditioned dog house.

Charles Stanley has a private plane.

What's your opinion of James Kennedy. Reason why I'm asking is that the Coral Ridge Ministry is only a few blocks from me.

I actually knew a preacher who was the opposite of a Big Bucks preacher. He is known as the Flea Market Preacher. The Flea Market Preacher, from Georgia, travels around the country in a beat up car filled with tables and inventory. On Saturdays he sells his knick-knacks at flea markets and on Sundays he pinch hits for preachers at churches around the country. I know the Flea Market Preacher since I bought a leather fanny pack from him last summer at a flea market he was selling at. If I could find the Flea Market Preacher again, I would like to have him as a guest on one of my upcoming DUmmie FUnnies Podcasts since he had some interesting stories about his travels.

Charles Stanley is good, isn't he; I don't know James Robison.

Lakewood Church always responds to emergencies like Katrina and Rita and the flooding that tends to happen every year in or around the Houston area. They seem above board but you never know with any of the TV preachers without seeing the books. Unfortunately....

A little off-topic, but years ago someone sent a package bomb to their offices. I think it was Osteen's sister who opened it and did sustain some injuries. Think I'll google & see if that was ever solved. You never know what these people have to put up with, either...whether they are above board or not.

I don't know much about them. I'll google for a while but if I don't post for a couple of days, someone "Ping Me." I tend to get lost in the google sphere....
