YBPDLN* Ping List Ping!
Generally speaking The YBPDLN Ping List is published infrequently, however based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a season.
Management will not ping members to every thread addressing megachurch pastors, but will tag articles of interest with the KEYWORD: YBPDLN.
If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

*Your Best Purpose Driven Life Now
I treat church like I treat political parties. Not a dime.
bkmk
When we were kids, my siblings and I used to ask my parents why we couldn’t just watch mass on TV instead of going to church. Now I just watch the Righteous Gemstones on Sunday instead.
If Phil Pringle were living here in the US he would no doubt be a Democrat member of Congress because he already has the gift for political graft down pat!
My pastor deserves a salary that will provide a roof over his head and food on the table for him, his wife and his kids.
We need to pay the power and water.
He doesn’t need a yacht.
Not expecting pastors and preachers to live a miserly poor lifestyle but c’mon why all the extravagant, uber materialistic emphasis? It’s not a good witness to the matters of Christianity.
Boy does nine.com.au need a proofreader !
Exactly right. Chris Rosebrough’s Fighting for the Faith videos on YouTube are awesome. He absolutely dismantles many of the current “word of faith” and “seeker-sensitive” churches and pastors, and does so the way we’re supposed to as Christians: by meticulously comparing what they say to the Bible. Spoiler alert: they generally don’t pass muster. Chris Rosebrough also has a video on tithing that is hands down the best explanation I’ve ever heard of how it no longer applies, and explains what the New Testament has to say about giving (essentially, as you said, that we are to be generous and we should make sure our pastor doesn’t go hungry, but how much or what percentage is totally up to us). The tithe was strictly a tax to support the Levite temple priests. They were under a theocracy at that time, and the tithe was a tax. None of that applies now.
Similar to Jim and Tammy Faker?
Sorry, I just no longer feel sorry for these people. The reason they give is so that God will give back to them. Rather selfish motive. As for the "pastor", I suspect he has received his reward.
Quite frankly I would rather have a small room in God's house in heaven than a massion in hell.
A MEN!!
Most of these are not Christian in any recognizable fashion they are hucksters selling their own brand of snake oil. Compare to Christian doctrine you will find little in common.
Dont be fooled. This is about using this pastoral abuse case to come after all churches and destroy them thru taxation.
I think he owns a J Boat
Cheap for a sailboat honestly
It’s no Swan or Hinckley
