She's very lucky a federal marshall wasn't on board.
"The congregation in July moved into the 16,000-seat Compaq Center."
'This Sunday's service sponsored by our good friends at Compaq!'?
Shades of Tammy Faye?
As a devout believer, I would have to say that the number one problem in Christianity today is Christians.....
When you are in the spotlight like the Osteen's you have to work twice as hard to avoid crap like this.
Just as an aside, I am an evangelical Christian but Joel Osteen tends to turn my stomach. The Bible is the ultimate "self help"; why do we need corny lectures and books on self help topics from Mr. Osteen?
Hmmm....Sounds like Victoria should get one for Christmas.
Pride goeth before a fall.
Pastors of big churches sometimes have wives that are less than ladies and more like b-------. Of course that applies to men of other professions wives, too.

Hmmm.... Flying first class to Colorado and upset her tray table is not to her liking which I can only imagine is because she didn't want to stain her bible whilst preparing for the family missionary work to the poor and destitute of Vail. Yep, seems logical to me...
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride’s a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he’d been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin’ further
Than his heart would choose to go
Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
(wispered in the background...)
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don’t worry about others or where you came from
It ain’t what you were, it’s what you have become
Mom and dad are fightin’
As rosie lies there crying
For once again she’s overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With christmas bells a-ringing
Little rosie’d leave them grieving
the gift she’d give her family
Would be the pills she’d take
An inconvenient child
She wasn’t worth their while
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating

(wispered in the background...)
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don’t worry about others or where you came from
It ain’t what you were, it’s what you have become
What about love?
What about god?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
You know it’s true
He is there for me and you
Doesn’t matter what you do
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?

Selfish... ? ? ?

Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered ’round in trust
What have we become?
Great- another hypocrite for the nonbelieving world to point to as an example of how all of us christians are poseurs. *sigh*
Some flight attendents can be b*tches or in the case of male attendents, b*tchy. When a customer complains about something, they should be accomodated immediately.
Anyone that uses commercial airlines can be sympathetic to the frustraton of the lady that was ejected from the plane.
The princess and the pea comes to mind.
JMO, Mrs. Osteen thinks she is the new "Queen" Victoria.
I think they want to insert their biased opinions of Osteen, church people, etc. rather than wait for the facts.
Having said that, I'm not familiar with Osteen other than seeing his picture on books....and reading he preaches a 'prosperity type gospel'...
...that is not my cup of tea.
But some folks here are really quick to judge this woman as a witch on wheels just because she's involved in this type of ministry.
Whether I, or anyone else, agrees with their large church, their message or their lifestyle....
..we simply don't know the facts to make such comments here.
WWJS = Where Would Jesus Ski? (Vail, apparently!)
Rule #1: Never take 'self-help' advice from anyone that sounds like, and has the mannerisms of, Tom Daschle.
Osteen gives me the creeps.
John Hagy on the other hand...the preacher tells it like it is brother!
