Can a crankiness land you in court? The case of Sandra Brown v. Victoria Osteen is the story of a chance encounter on an airplane that turned into a nasty legal battle.
Osteen is the wife of popular self-help author and television minister Joel Osteen, who heads the Lakewood Church, Houston's largest congregation. Brown is a flight attendant for Continental Airlines.
The lawsuit, filed in Harris County Civil Court in Houston, alleges that Victoria Osteen "shoved, grabbed and pulled the flight attendants." The suit goes on to claim that Osteen elbowed Brown, who was the flight manager, while allegedly trying to get into the cockpit of the airplane.
Brown's attorney, Reginald McKamie, contends that Osteen has a dark side that the trial will expose.

I'm not taking any lectures on religion unless it is via a private session with Melissa Scott.
Osteen gives me the creeps. He is the Reverand Ike what Pat Boone was to Little Richard.

I still shake my head in amazement that this Minister took Christmas off to head to Vail, or whereever.
I mean seriously, Christmas and Easter are kind of "the big show" in his line of work.............

Don't blame the flight attendant, she's just doing what Joel teaches, going after her Best Life Now.

Church of the Feel Good... My son and his family goes to one of these types of churches in the DFW area. I call it The Touchy Feelgood Social Club and church. I've only heard them talk about the kids sports program, VBS, carnival and the church's pre-school. Never heard them say one word about the tenets of the church itself.

To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
Never read it either. I’ve watched him (with pepto-bismol in hand) a few times. Kinda like Barney or a car crash. You don’t want to watch, but it’s such a travesty that you can’t turn away.

They are Christian Innoculation Centers. People go there to receive weekly vaccinations so they won’t come down with the real thing.
