Don’t know which of my many prejudices should win out on this one.

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.............

I loved his dad John Osteen...

He looked a little like Mister Roger's puppet.

I’ve heard things about this woman, but I do not know her.

I know what I have heard Joel say about her and it seems he sugar coats her. For instance, they were walking in their neighborhood and she was really insistent they live in a big house like their neighbors. Eventually they did and he put it as “she had the faith to get us there”. I heard “She nagged me until I made sure my beauty queen wife got what she wanted”

Of course I was not there...

LOL “Co-pastor” Barbie.

If it were down to their brand of Christianity® or Nothing, I’d pick Nothing.

Name it and claim it baby! According to these knuckleheads Jesus was rich, rich, rich. They would call Paul out for his lack of faith for winding up in prison and getting his head loped off. Do a “jerico” march around your neighbors house and God will give it to ya....yeee haw! Send me some money and I’ll tell ya how it works.

Well, I've read 75 responses and not one has come to the defense of the Osteen's. I am ready to be flamed so here goes.

I don't watch him all the time. He comes on after Fox News Sunday in the Washington, DC area - 10 AM. It's not the whole shebang. Just his 30 minute sermon, talk, whatever you want to call it. I don't see or hear the same thing everyone else on this thread seems to see and hear. He speaks about Jesus more than my Catholic preist does, who spends more time talking about how good MLK, Jr., was. He concludes by saying a simple prayer to Jesus and urges people to get into a Bible bassed church. I never hear him make personal pleas for people to send money to him. What I take from him are simple messages - God provides for you. You must have faith. Your prayers will not be answered immediately. They will be answered in ways you do not anticipate. No matter what happens to you in life, if you choose God, nothing can stand against you. I bought his book, read it, and liked it. Did not Jesus say to knock and the door will be opened? Did not Jesus say that to continue to pray to God and your prayers will be answered?

Concerning the lawsuit - I heard on FNC last night that the stewardess that she suffered from broken faith and a hemroidal attack! Please! I don't know what happened on that flight but I get the impression it's someone looking for an easy payday. And who knows - maybe God is sending all of them - and us - a message.

Anyway, I repeat I like listening to Joel Osteen.

The flight attendant’s suit claims she suffered from hemorrhoids as a result of the incident.

Ya can’t make this stuff up, folks!
