By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, I was not within 200 miles of Osteen when this happened.

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.

Because 18,000 22,000 People Can’t Be Wrong!

Members of The Church of Wells [the alleged hecklers] -- described by some as reformed with puritanical leanings -- have been involved in various disputes with police and have been accused by some family members of "brainwashing" vulnerable young adults. While some maintain it has the markings of a cult, others have said its leaders are young and "misguided."

I wonder who the "some" are?

I am not a Joel Olsteen fan, but this type of disruptive behavior in someone else’s worship service is not Christ-like. What goes around, comes around and it is going to be ugly enough for the church without Christians doing this kind of thing.

Jesus threw out the money changers on the Temple grounds because the area they doing “business” in was supposed to be a place of prayer for Gentiles who wanted to worship God (it was the only area near the Temple that Gentiles could have access to.

What these people were doing was criminal trespass.

[crusty old prospector]

The Church of Wells has the reputation around here as a cult. Think Westboro Baptist Church.

I don’t care for Osteen myself but we are descended into chaos now.

Truly descended into chaos.

So much for all the love Osteen preaches about.

Funny they never say that about Rome

No problem. Osteen can relax in one of his swimming pools tonight.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Hmmm could this have been staged as a way to cover that Joel wasn’t going to say anything about the USSC ruling on same sex marriage?

[AppyPappy]

They arrested people for speaking in church?
