All I'm saying is they were lawsuits that were dropped. And the articles repeatedly mentioned some closed door meeting. The next article reads.. and the man alleges. This stuff has been tearing down people, well since Adam and Eve. People have leveled "allegations" throughout history. In fact Jesus even tells us not to sue your brothers and sisters. Gossip just burns me up. Now I've looked at most of your posts with interest, and this is not an attack on you, but one cannot convince me that those articles aren't just a load of Gossip.

If one wants to debate Hanks ideas, quote the source and let the discussion begin. Or if Hanagraff was convicted of something, site the court case and Christians would be wise to take not of convicted felons. But bringing up allegations is... well I don't know, I need to cool off.

I heartly agree with you. We are so busy tearing one another down instead of building one another up. A point that I have mentioned several times in this thread is that we can ( and always do ) find a website that either supports what we believe or tears down what another believes.

The whole discussion ensued when someone asked for another's opinion of Joyce Meyer. Opinion. Meyer's ministry is a ministry for women. She teaches women practicality to apply in their everyday lives. All of a sudden this woman teacher is out of God's will. Has God specifically told others that she is out of His will? I mean, here is a woman who has a mistry for women. She is not a pastor of a church. She is not in leadership over a male congregation. Yet, she is out of God's will because she ministers to women. I would venture a guess that those who have cast Meryer in this light have never heard her messages. I mean really heard her ( follwed along with Bible in hand ). Comments were then posted revealing others who had taken parts of her books, teachings, tapes or what have you and torn them apart citing her as a false teacher. Well anyone can do that to someone to prove their point. One could take Jesus' statements out of context and present Him as a false teacher.
