No thanks. The mortgage I have on my home will suffice.

I try to be a little more merciful than some and will give someone the benefit of the doubt. I don't have proof that this WAS a dishonest purchase and neither do you or anyone else. Until I do I will reserve my right to pass judgement. Speculation and appearances are NOT enough to say that someone is doing wrong. At least I thought that was the way it was supposed to be in this country.

It is really a shame that we are so judgemental of others based on his/her appearance.

>...if he donates to his own ministry then I hold him blameless and consider him to be blessed

That's a pretty important point IMHO. It's amazing how judgemental many Christians are, and so unwilling to accept that someone else has been blessed, without them personally approving that blessing, as if their approval was needed. Their own ENVY and insistance on their right to JUDGE others is so overpowering they quickly & confidently veer down the wrong path.

I agree, these people may have turned a $50,000 investment in the beef market into $5,000,000.

It is not about judging others by their appearance (the way they look) but instead by their appearance (the manner in which they behave). The ONLY visible means of income for the crouches and TBN are donations from viewers.

Preachers do NOT buy themselves 5 million dollar homes off the backs of working class(and even poor people). If this cocept is too deep for you, I give up.
