Taking a contrary stance -- is there anything good about the prosperity gospel preachers or methods

No.

It fosters a God owes me mentality.
(Of course I may be missing something....)

I think both the Presbyterians and Catholics should bring in the enthusiasm of the pentecostals

Nah.. Pentecostal worship is manipulative. Loud driving music and screaming just whips people into a frenzy. Ideally what should be seen is a worship environment where those who are broken can find comfort, those who have joy can rejoice. I've seen it done well and it is something to behold. People worshiping from where they are, in the same place.

But, do you think there is anything worthwhile in the prosperity gospel preachers leaving aside dogma) or would we think its all bad?

Sorry. I just can't come up with a thing.....
