Megachurch Pastor Paula White Marries 3rd Husband.. [Trump's evangelical connection]

Aug 26, 2015: Donald Trump Plans Meeting With Evangelicals

".......The invitation states Mr. Trump aims to meet with “selected Christian leaders and ministry professionals.” Ms. Withum referred questions about the invitation to Mr. Trump’s aides.

Michael Cohen, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said the New York developer will meet with “a significant number of pastors from across the country that will be coming to meet with Mr. Trump for a prayer service.”

Mr. Cohen said the gathering is being organized not by the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization, which oversees Mr. Trump’s business interests. Instead he said “the evangelical community,” led by Paula White, a Florida evangelical preacher with a daily television show on The Word Network, was arranging the session."..........

August 30, 2015: Trump Hosts Televangelists Who Fleece Their Flocks

..."White, who hosts a TV show called Paula White Today on The Word Network and pastors New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida… took the helm at that church after its former shepherd died of a heroin and cocaine overdose.

Trump and White have been friends for years, which makes sense because they have a lot in common. In addition to having their own popular TV shows, they’re on their third marriage—Trump’s to former model Melania Trump, and White’s to the keyboardist for Journey.

Trump has been a guest on her programming numerous times, and they seem to be big fans of each other. He’s called her “a beautiful person, both inside and out,” and recommended that viewers read her book You’re All That: Understanding God’s Design For Your Life so they would “be ready for great success.” White has compared him to “a diamond that reveals a new facet each time it is turned in the light,” ..

White, like Trump, is also a big fan of cash. She’s typically characterized as a proponent of the prosperity gospel—a theologically suspect approach to Christianity whereby pastors (often before huge congregations or on TV broadcasts) tell listeners that God wants them to become very wealthy, and that if they just give “a seed” to said pastors’ ministries, they’ll reap great financial returns and be #blessed. White’s e-store features a sermon called “Why God Wants You Wealthy.” Of course, Donald Trump wants people to be rich as well, which is why White once offered her viewers—for a ministry contribution of $25—a copy of Trump’s book Why We Want You to Be Rich. Everyone wants you to be rich! Praise the Lord!

White’s website has…interesting deals. One (your correspondent’s personal favorite) is called the “2015 Atonement Package.”...

Interesting that you feel the only way to defend Donald Trump’s character, is to attack the messenger.

This is the pattern of Donald Trump advocacy now, anyone who recognizes and points out that Trump is a liar and a liberal are called Establishment, GOP-e, squishes, etc).

They can’t address Trump.

I guess we both like liars then.

Seems I remember a feller who stated his immigration policy had changed, and then within two minutes had agreed that a way could be found to implement the same policy he had for years.

LIE

How often do I give you a hard time? Come on. You know you miss me.

What turns me off about Paula White is that onstage when she is preaching she sounds like a black preacher. I could never get past the theatrics. At least Joyce Meyer is her genuine self and not imitating a black preacher. Nothing against black preachers but Paula White ain’t one.

In his 1987 book Art of the Deal, he put it bluntly: “I play to people’s fantasies. . . . I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”

About two years ago I was watching a broadcast of Dr David Jeremiah and he was preaching inside MSG in NY. As the camera panned the audience twice it showed Donald Trump in attendance.
FWIW....

Playing to people’s fantasies is an important part of some sales. We have to get them to imagine life with our product or service.

I’ll bite - what does this Daily Beast (TMZ next?) piece tell us about Trump other than he knows this lady who is obviously very good at the Jerry Falwell, Jim and Tammy, Jimmy Swaggart business model?

Shouldn’t you be pimping your boy, Mitt Walker?

Donald Trump’s choice of preachers aside... how do you find his policies and positions on the issues?

Or should I make up my mind about him based on his relationship with Paula White?
