fatdan: Look at these crooked TV evangelists
I never understood this. Why do they need to drive the AMG Mercedes? Why do they need that private jet to spread the word? Why is it that they have all these luxury items and Jesus didn't have sandals for His feet?
LOL, sometime in the mid-90's I read an actual interview with one of the top guys who eventually went to jail, but I can't remember his name...
There was a picture of him standing in front of all his sh!t outside his 2million $ home in the Carolinas somewhere...he was holding up his hands showing off a huge diamond ring on every finger, a huge gold bracelet and a Rolex...
in the backround he had 2 Rolls Royces, a Lamborghini, a Limo, 2(not 1, 2) Cigarette boats that cost over 300k at the time, 1 did 131mph...a 800k travel bus, and various toys...
The interviewer asked him why and his response was, "Because God wants me to have it! When you represent a company or a person they expect you to look, and act your best, they want you to wear suits not casual clothing to make them look good! Well I represent GOD, you can't get any bigger than him, even with all this I still fall way short of what God wants me to have so I represent him the way he should be"!
Reporter said' "but nobody sees all this but you and your family, do you have services here, do your believers get to ride the boats"?
he just said, "That's enough about these mere worldly items, lets talk about the Lord"!!!!
He was arrested a year or so after the article and sent to prison where he still represented God, but his donations were more like Honey Buns, soup packets, and Instant Coffee LOL...
