[hsmomx3]

Money--everyone wants your donations!

[mancini]

You shall know them by their fruit . . . or the price of their houses! :-)

[longhorn too]

Is Jan Crouch the lady with the pinkish wig? I could tell she was a fake to begin with!

[Hittman]

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and that's enough to make a pretty good living.

[mancini]

Is Jan Crouch the lady with the pinkish wig?

Yes, she wears it to draw attention away from her garish makeup.

[Atticus]

Remember the (black) Reverend Ike? He used to implore his viewers to "send in today for your ten dollar miracle."

[Media2Powerful]

I do not think someone who is called into the ministry is automatically also called to poverty-----BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

Greed!

[Doctor Freeze]

If this is true, I don't think this couple is being good stewards of God's money. How does a $5 million house help in fulfilling the Great Commission? This is materialism at its worst.

[alaskanfan]

Would you call this fleecing the flock?

[Psalm 73]

Well, this proves it - Christianity is a sham.
I'm going to start following Baal!
(BTW - these people will have to answer for this on Judgement Day, methinks there will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth).

[ofMagog]

Well, yeah, but they're televangelists.
That's the whole idea of being in show business.
Televangelists are to religion as rasslin' is to sports.

[Media2Powerful]

Remember the (black) Reverend Ike?

ROTFL!!!!...You can't LOSE with the stuff I use....(that Rev. Ike? lololol)

[11th Earl of Mar]

We must also include Chuck Swindoll in these discussions. He bought a multimillion dollar oceanside mansion in California a few years back.

[let freedom sing]

You can't buy much for 5 mil in Orange County, these days-- even with donations.

[peteram]

Yes, she wears it to draw attention away from her garish makeup.

A graduate of the Tammy Faye Schol of Cosmetology.

[joathome]

Oh........but, it's for the ministry. Imagine all those viewers invited over for Sunday night potluck. :(

[Landru]

"Ever wonder where all those 'seed faith' dontations are going?"

After living through the years of Jim & Tammy-Faye Baker?
No...
If I wonder about anything a'tall insofar as this *Tele-Evangalism* business is concerned?
It's what's going through the heads of those who support these charlatines prior to sending 'em their hard earned $$.

Has all the signs of there being a lot of very lonely people out there, trying to buy their way into Heaven.

[Rustynailww]

would Jesus wear a rolex?

[JoeMomma]

Hey -- you'd better watch it! There are some 'religious right' Freepers who will accuse you of 'bashing all of Christianity' by your questioning the purchase of a $5M house. For TBN so loves the world, that they'll gladly take your money, Visa and MasterCard accepted. LOL

I'll be willing to bet they think Benny Hinn (who probably has his own special corner in Hell reserved) actually heals people too.
