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!

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Romulus]

bump

[freedomson]

Look at these two and tell me you're shocked to find out they are frauds. Talk about your T ammy Faye wannabees.

[eastsider]

Maybe they intend to emulate the Toons' policy of having major contributors stay at the White House overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom. "All Platinum Club members will receive a three-day, two-night stay in the Manger Room. Accommodations include breakfast in bed served by the Magi."

[hopespringseternal]

The price of their house is irrelevant.

The fact that they make Christianity out to be little more than an astrology type superstion is what damns them.

[sanchmo]

1 Timothy 6

9

People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

[Polybius]

Would Jesus wear a Rolex on a television show?
