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 have a clam, his name is Fred.
Whatever happened to him?
Is he still preaching? Still married?
Our priest reminds the Easter Sunday crowd, “you do know we do this the other 51 Sundays of the year.” lol
If it was the first time after many years, I don't see a problem with it if the church is left in capable hands.

You may have a point there, most anybody would be more capable.
Except for the stained glass Jesus window, this picture is exactly what I would expect to see in a bordello. Not that I’ve ever seen one, but that’s what I think they look like.
Can we say TACKY?
Still has his radio show out of Baton Rouge; AFAIK, still married.
I understand vacations - CPA’s don’t take them during tax season because that is their big season - I don’t think a minister should leave his church during Christmas or Easter for any reason. He has 50 other weeks out of the year he can relax. In fact, I wouldn’t think a good Minister would WANT to be away from his church at such an important time of the year.....
LOL.
That whole TBN set is perfect for those who stand demanding money from the gullible....
Which is why my CPA son scheduled his wedding for the middle of May. Anniversaries just seem to work out better that way.
We have a friend who is a Baptist minister. The church he used to be at did not have a Christmas service and when he tried to have one the first year he was there the deacons told him NO, that’s a family day.
We have another Baptist friend whose church does their Chritmas service the Sunday evening before Christmas Day.
All very confusing to this Anglican.
The other thing I don;t understand is that they start singing Christmas carols right after Thanksgiving. lol
I grew up in a Baptist church and you are right, unless Christmas falls on a Sunday there isn’t a Christmas day service.... I never thought about it as a kid but as an adult it seems really odd.
She’s fits exactly my idea of what an old fashioned Madame in a bordello would look like too.
Yeah, and normally you wouldn’t plan to have a baby during Tax Season, but I had both of mine during that time.... preemies - neither started out with expectations of being born before April 15! ;^)
