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.

In other news, Jim Bakker seems to be doing as well or better than ever, seems like only the Cosby show is on TV more.
Perhaps Tammy Faye was the problem. ;-)
Never heard of any of these Democrats before.

Of course, I have no idea who Todd Bentley is....but if these are the folks he hangs around with, I’d be skeptical from the start.
From Wiki, for others who haven’t heard of him:
” At 17, Bentley was hospitalized again after his fourth[12] drug overdose.[13] At 18, he changed his lifestyle completely, due to his conversion to Christianity. Soon after this, he began his Christian ministry.[14][15]
Fresh Fire Ministries
In 1998, the Fresh Fire Ministry group asked Bentley to give his testimony at one of their weekly meetings. Soon after, on Mother’s Day 1998[16] Bentley took over leadership of the group, and it became more of a revival movement. He traveled to India, Africa, South America, Mexico and Europe taking part in crusades and revivals.[17] This became Fresh Fire Ministries Canada which was led by Bentley until the time of his resignation in August 2008[18] after his separation from his wife.
...Bentley’s testimony includes certain controversial claims, including encounters of meeting with Paul the Apostle.[24] He has also preached about an encounter with an angel he called ‘Emma’,[78] at an Assemblies of God church in 2001.[citation needed] The angel appeared in female form “and sprinkled ‘gold dust,’ illustrating financial blessings, on the congregation where he was preaching.”[79] In response to criticism about the Biblical inspiration of an angel who appeared female, Bentley wrote that it was God’s choice, and not his own, that an angel appeared to him in that manner.[80]”

He has been unqualified for leadership for a long time now.
It is supposed to work this way.
“Well, duh!”
I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you. ;-)
That’s nothing compared to many in congress.
Looks like he paid good money for the tats on his arms. The neck tattoos, however, look prison quality.
Obviously their giftings do not include discernment.
Who ever ordained him needs to defrock him.
