this woman is everything wrong with american christians...me me me and screw people with less

She IS sending all that money straight to God and not keeping it, right?
“So when you keep for yourself something that belongs to God you are desecrating what is to be consecrated to God.”

....and told people that if he didn't get X dollars in contributions God would kill him? Essentially it was "pay me or else". Neither happened - he didn't get his number and he wasn't killed.

Oral Roberts wanted to build a medical school on his campus, so he told his followers that God had spoken to him and told Oral that if he didn't come up with $8 million by this time next year, God was going to have him whacked.

Which is an interesting way of portraying Our Lord and Savior...Jesus the Hitman. Hoo boy.

poked fun at Oral Roberts for that.

In reference to a traffic jam he saw near Branson, Missouri, he said he saw "Oral Roberts on roller skates goin' from car to car, doin' his best!"

Got to keep that brand right you stupid huckster!

She made him face the consequences.

and you can too if you just give her your money!

Desperate Trumpers will probably do it too. They'll believe this will help them get the good jobs and wage increases and whatever is supposed to trickle down to them from the fabulously wealthy job creators.

IMO, mega churches are an example of Capitalism run amok. The leadership at these institutions are slimey snake oil salesmen / saleswomen who use Christianity as an excuse to live their pockets with the money of poor people.

If even 50% of that money went to those in need, I would be happy. However, “those in need” to these people translates to “I need another summer home and this year’s model sports car.” It’s highway robbery against the guillible.

You'd think that God would have figured out how to make more than Mark Cuban or Bill Gates by now.
Maybe God needs to take a course at some junior college.

They came to collect ... Silver and Gold ...

I'll see your Bullet, and raise ya ... a Hawkmoon ... a song which proves that all U2 needs is a red guitar, 3 chords, and the TRUTH ...

Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends!

Paula White contributes a month's pay every year to her so-called church. Then she gets her pigeons to contribute a month's pay to Paula White's so-called church in hopes that other people will send THEM a month's pay.

First, exactly how many churches can there be?
Second, this sounds like the Amway business model.
And third, how is this any different from what the moneychangers were doing in the Temple?

Hmm...

Nothing happens until you pay it, then they walk away to find more contracts, then you have to chase them down to do any actual work.

I wonder how many people actually believe this crap? Wait. Never mind.

Jesus never spoke of tithing!

The award for "Greatest Televangelist of All Time" has to go to the immortal Dr. Gene Scott!

He once sat in the chair not saying anything until he got the money he, I mean, god, wanted, I mean, needed.

she "claims she contributes a month’s pay every year as a “seed,” which according to prosperity gospel is supposed to grow into riches."

From where I come from, this is called a pyramid scheme. Can just see the pyramid chart with a really white Jesus looking skyward up at the top.

Every time I hear one of these hucksters shaking people down for cash, I think of my own grandma, who used to send these people money all the time. She hardly had a cent to her name but sent money to them in hopes of God's favor. Makes me sick to this day knowing people like this woman live high on the hog on money from poor people who just want things to go their way sometimes.

I'm thinking maybe they meant Benny Hinn?

of ransom schemes.

Bite me.

What did you think he was going to do with the money?

Go piss up a rope.

And go hungry for a month. It’s sad they don’t see they are suckers.

against it. This is fraud. She is a sickening woman. She and Trump are perfect for each other.

(No buts.)
