And apparent Paul had a lot of “his” in his mansion.

Eternity will reveal what sordid affairs may have played out in his private mansion. Apparently he didn't even live with his wife.

This per Wikipedia: "In September 2004, the Los Angeles Times reported that in 1998 Crouch paid Enoch Lonnie Ford, a former employee, a $425,000 formal settlement to end a wrongful termination lawsuit. The paper also reported that Ford had alleged a sexual relationship between the two men.[19] TBN officials denied the allegations..."

You don't fork out $425k unless you are guilty as sin.

I think Genesis wrote “Jesus He Knows Me” precisely about these folks.

as shown by the enormous mansion they lived in

Make that MANSIONS
Paul and Jan had SEPERATE mansionS, one block away from each other.

I had heard in the latter years, he was in California, running TBN, she was in Orlando, running The Holy Land Experince.

An article from www.dailymail.co.uk States they had 13 mansions, plus a $50 million private jet and $100,000 mobile home for Jans dogs.

And for every soul they may have gained for Jesus, how many more were turned off from Christianity because of their antics?

Good point. I would not want to be them facing the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Looking at that photo, I keep hearing Jack Nicholson’s voice from the 1989 “Batman” movie: “Wait till they get a load of me!”

13 mansions? This is madness - indicative of those who love riches to an extreme degree. They were utterly out of control, yet continued to beg their followers for more money even as they enjoyed the excesses of a "lifestyle of the rich and famous."

I shudder to think of the fearsome judgment that will be their final legacy.

For all their quirks they did promote the gospel of Jesus around the globe.

I have no doubt that she's in Heaven, but she and Paul Crouch helped spread so much doctrinal untruth. And they promoted and assisted false teachers and propnets. The judgments for those things are with the Lord.

But, I have no doubt TBN and they will responsible for many confused and easily-deluded Christiansm as well as people who thought they had been saved under some TBN teachers and preachers.

I remember seeing her on TV. She really had a unique and striking appearance.

She looks like what Michael Jackson would have ended up looking like.

Thankfully, salvation is by grace through faith in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9), not by decision.
