What nonsense of the pastor to buy a private jet.:o

Its unfortunate the gullible masses still fall for it

It concerns me that the money my father had worked hard for all his life might be given away to one of these churchy swindlers by my mother as she gets more senile. I wish there was a way to have more control over her landline and her cable TV. She'll trust what anybody in a suit says over what I say. lmao :doh:


I did try that M&M diet though. lol

It's been a while since I read the Bible, but I seem to remember that Jesus did ride a Donkey. I certainly don't remember Jesus asking people to give him money :hmmm:

Jesus also didn't use his religion as a business model to scam millions from fools.:03:

And no, Jesus rode into Jerualem on a dinosaur, ask the creationists.


Also..

Preacher and crowd alike, they deserve each other.

Times they be a changing :)

CRIMINAL..

His followers are obviously brainwashed!! . . . and dumb!!:yep:

If only it was...


That's a weird way to write "Christians". :hmmm:

I went down that same road with my mother. She gave away thousands before I finally got her checkbook away from her. We still get a mailbox full of junk mail because of it.

This whole "Jesus wouldn't ride a donkey" business, one question pops up: Did this preacher suggest he is Jesus? Oh dear me.

Didn't Jesus ride on a donkey when entered Jerusalem ?

Markus

Not sure, he could have he sat on his ass or mounted a jenny

This is a clip from 1997 shown on SNL dealing with Christ and his reaction to televangelists:

Try not to think of how much of his money is tax free. :(

I have long since stopped to differentiate between Christian mysticism, and Zen/Ch'an masters.

This "preacher", all the other word-enriched television-evangelical supermen, should be reminded of Matthew 6:6 : "When you pray, go into your room to your Father who is in the secret place." The temple is our inner heart where we pray a prayer of silence, but a reply we only may hear when there are no other strange guests inside, for that would mean we leave our soul occupied with what is not the essence.

Their audience of course should be reminded even more pressingly of this. Leave the showacts to Las Vegas. And churches compare to the real temple like Disney land to reality.

The wordlessness of Zen, the metaphorical interpretation of the new gospel by Christian mysticism - where is the difference? I see none.

Meister Eckhart again:
"Indeed, if a man thinks he will get more of God by meditation, by devotion, by ecstacy, or by special infusion of grace than by fireside or in the stable - that is nothing but taking God, wrapping a cloak around his head and shoving him under a bench. For whoever seeks God in a special way, gets the way and misses God, who lies hidden in it. But whoever seeks God without any special way gets him, as he is in himself."

And Lao Tse:

The tao that can be spoken,
is not the eternal tao.
The name that can be named,
is not the eternal name.

^Well said Sky.

Yes, not bad for a diabolical, agnostical atheist sinner, n'est-ce-pas? :D :shucks:
