This private jet is not mentioned in the article.

His wife is not going to fly steerage ever again. She wants to be able to fire the staff if they don’t worship her.

I wonder why Creflo didn't think about that?

Flying private has always been THE WAY TO GO.

Still true.

I was wondering how the likes of Joel would be taken down by God.

Reaching for the popcorn as I try to sell my business equipment to make ends meet.

Don’t be fooled. This isn’t about Osteen. This is about coming after ALL churches.

If churches are classified as nonprofits, they are entitled to the same benefits other nonprofits are.

Nothing wrong with resting on a pneumatic mattress either.

“...More than 400 evangelical churches received loans of at least $1 million....”

Does anyone have a list of these churches? Or where one might be able to find such a list? I’d like to review it.
FWIW, I’d be totally ashamed to call myself “Christian” and be taking government money like that. It’s just wrong on so many levels, and it sets the government up in the cats-bird seat to control that church. It also tells me they’re not led by God...they’re charlatans.

It’s the LORD’S private jet. You can’t just evangelize in a rented office space or from the back of your car or among friends and family. Saving souls requires a hefty budget for some people. Just ask the Pope.

I think Lifechurch has now taken the no. 1 spot. And yes they received several million in PPP funds, while having cash assets of over $300M.

I understand the legality and the rights of these churches to apply for these funds. Morally, I think it stinks and makes the church look bad.

[Sequoyah101]

Nothing but frauds with fools for followers.

What a full-up COS.

It’s time to start taxing the churches...heavily.

Our new Chinese Overlords will see that it’s done.

These discarded rules embody the separation of state and church, one of America’s founding principles.

Wrong. At the time of the Founding Fathers, most of the colonies/States had an official religion. It was only the FedGov that wasn't allowed to pick one over the others.


Lisa Guerrero of Inside Edition has been digging too, and she discovered a private jet likely financed with PPP money. Marcus Lamb runs Daystar Television, which may have as many as 2 billion viewers and is valued at a quarter of a billion dollars. Two weeks after it took $4 million in taxpayer PPP funds, it bought a private jet, a Gulfstream V, valued at between $9 million and $10 million.

That is an extremely stupid argument. The jet was definitely not bought with PPP funds. Even with money being fungible, I would bet dollars to donuts that the Church was planning on buying the jet, whether or not they got the PPP $$$. Obviously, it took more then the PPP funds to get it, since it cost 2.5x MORE than they got in PPP funds.

That said, any business buying private jets (excepting something like a courier service or contract jet airline), should not have been eligible for PPP funds anyways.
