I geuss the free book book was not enough to persuade her against the lawsuit.
I am NO fan of the Osteen’s but I would have to say that this flight attentent (OK I’ll say it STEWARDESS) strikes me as a bit of a gold-digger.
A bit?? I’d say that’s exactly what she is. I’m not a fan of the Osteen’s either, but no one deserves to be sued over silly sh!t like this. Then again when you have money you attract fruitcakes like this woman looking for an easy dollar. No one “loses” their faith because of something like this. This is the first I’ve heard that being jabbed in the chest causes hemorrhoids! lol I hope she loses and has to pay all court costs!!
And hemorrhoids?
I don’t think I could hold the laughter in if someone was claiming they needed hundreds of thousands for hemorrhoids and I was on that jury.

Based only on news reports, I would award minimal damages. I would not be surprised if there was an offer of judgment for some minor amount. If so and the jury awards less, there are some states that would then require the plaintiff to pay the defendants attorney fees and costs.
Not sure what the law is in Texas.
McKamie said the FAA did an appropriate investigation. State District Judge Patricia Hancock said she would make a decision later on whether the report would be allowed.
If she did not contest the fine, it may very well mean the report is inadmissible.
Sounds a bit to me that Ms. Brown is looking for an early retirement with BIG benefits. Story smells a little.
The Osteens are freaks. Like the vile Rick Warren, they almost never utter the word “Christ”.
Agreed. Everytime I see Joel on TV, I have to resist the urge to call Disney up and see if one of their animatrons are missing. The guy just flat out freaks me out.
Rusty Hardin? Doesn’t he have enough to do defending that knucklehead Clemens?
“Brown wants an apology and punitive damages amounting to 10 percent of Victoria Osteen’s net worth as part of her suit.”
Wow! 10 percent of Osteen’s net worth is a lot of money! Back in normal times, a handshake and sincere apology would be sufficient.
So how does 10% net worth of a preacher amount too. Can’t be much after all he is doing the lords work. sarc
Ok so what’s the problem with Osteen. I have found him to be nothing but uplifting.
I’ve seen on freerepublic a million times that God doesn’t say money is evil. He doesn’t command us to all be poor and starving. The Bible does make us aware that we cannot serve both God and money. Do you have any evidence to suggest that he is serving money and not God? If he cautions that you cannot serve both does that mean you can’t be rich and serve God?
Mind you I don’t know what Osteen serves.. I won’t pretend to know him. But before spouting off about how preachers with money are bad you should at least have something to back it up.
Money-grubbing lawyers at work. There was a lawyer on TV this afternoon practically salivating about how much money the Osteens had, and how much this stupid lawsuit could be worth. The fact that you don’t like them (and I have no use for TV preachers)doesn’t mean they should be subjected to trash lawsuits like this.
Living high on the hog while people in his own church are struggling doesn’t like the lords work to me. In my belief, all donations are for the lords work not to enrich the pastor. I can find where Jesus walked down the street with a pocket full of money.
