I don’t know much about Jakes and I don’t subscribe to the prosperity theology-Olsteen-style, but, I did hear Jakes say once that he’s sold 5 bestsellers, that he tithes, and that he takes no money from his church - that his wealth was based on selling his books, and, after tithing, was his to do with as he pleases.
If true, then I agree: so long as he’s not bamboozling people into “donating” for his personal wealth, his wealth isn’t anybody’s business but his.
That’s right,ziravan. Because he’s a TV evangelist, some people here equate him with satan.
