I agree with you. What Joyce is doing on a daily basis is very similar to the teaching one hears at a Women of Faith conference or other similar gathering. I don’t hear anyone criticizing Patsy Clairmont.
Joyce relates the Bible to everyday life; her teaching on accepting yourself as God made you is hilarious but it gets the point across.
Paul never said women couldn’t teach women, nor did he say we couldn’t laugh during the course of that learning.

Meyers IMO is OK and really she has a ministry aimed at women and specifically at times women who have been abused. My wife reads her books {by them second hand} and it's helped her overcome the scars it brings. I've seen accusations tossed toward many ministries even that of Joni Tada believe it or not as being a feel good ministry. Meyers generally shows persons it takes a change of heart to rid ones self of things which can destroy them or rob them of happiness within.

Joni Tada's ministry is focused on persons who are dealing with disabilities. She has a very remarkable testimony and life story. My wife has all her books IIRC and has read all of her books. My wife is severely disabled not quite to Joni's extent but one or two C-numbers lower in the spine which gave her use of arms and hands again.

John Hagee? I've listened to him and read some of his books. Day of Deception everyone should read it is a real eye opener. He also breaks down Hebrew customs as related to The Bible in other books and it is educational. I don't need to agree with him 100% nor any minister for that matter.

To some who oppose televangelism There is good and there is bad and that media helps reach shut ins or ones like myself who can not endure a church service to still hear The Gospel. I haven't been in church in 18 years. The last service I went to where a preacher was present was dads funeral a little over a year ago. I knew the preachers and I liked them. But each time they spoke I seized. This was even with extra medication. My family is used to it but it would be disruptive to attend a church service. Not to mention physically and mentally exhausting. The disorder is not anything life threatening at all. It just limits what I can tolerate sensory wise. So yea I've watched Hagee many times.

I'm Independent Baptist raised Southern Baptist. I'm not a KJV or it ain't Bible person nor a RCC basher. Half my family such as cousins aunts uncles etc is Baptist the others are Catholic and even a Mormon or two who joined LDS because person they were dating and married was such.
