Patrick:
I was up early the other morning and decided to check out the news for the day and I got the biggest chuckle; as I was viewing the channel directory, I noticed Creflo, Copeland and then the next show after them was.....
The Beverly Hillbilly's ;D ;D

The whole TBN network is made of nothing but wealthy Pharasees. What really disturbs me about these people is the fact that they would con people out of their funds to blindingly send the money (that most of the time they don't have) and making all kinds of false promises to these people. Every year to them is a year of prosperity and breakthrough. I also don't believe that 100% of the money that is given to them goes directly towards helping others. I believe quite a lot of it goes towards their fine wardrobes. Everytime I see these people they are always well dressed and I am sure they drive nice fancy cars and live in nice big houses too. I believe this is where their donation money is going.

Thank you all for your insightful sharing and responces.
I personally have discovered that when I need the "preaching" of Mystery Babylon, is is because the flesh is aching! I am aware now of my flesh and what a "Pain" it is ;D and in this revelation I am most thankful to our precious Lord. He alone should be my comfort and He alone has experienced all that we can ever experience. I just have to realise the parallel with our pains and discomforts to HIS that HE endured, to understand that He is close and yoked to us giving us HIS Peace to endure available through His Mercy and Grace.
Heb 4 : 15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a SHARED FEELING with our weaknesses and infirmities and liabilities to the assaults of temptation but One Who has been tempted in EVERY RESPECT AS WE ARE yet without sinning.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

As a post addict of TBN some scriptures come come to mind (later)
Before finding this site, I was searching and occasionally flipped to TBN. Having read all the posts in this blog, I now no longer feel guilty of being in judgement viz toooooo commercialized.
Needless to say by belief that God could still use this medium has dwindled immensely. It seems they are now competing with one another for brownie points. Whatever happened to "Freely you have received, freely give"? Marketing their wares in SA is very expensive with the $/R exchange rate. (my house shall be called a house of prayer...." and to think I donated money to this farce....
PC behind the scenes and testimonials was about the last thing I could watch. This network is so powerful now it has become a monster.
Disinformation
About a month ago I stumbled on Alex Jones infowars.com site where I spent many hours viewing the 9/11 and 7/7 conspiracy theories. A link from another forum via myspace etc.
If one takes this seriously then post 9/11, the TBN support of Pres. Bush supposedly Christian, their posting of a prayer wall for those in Iraq and Afghanistan etc. etc. Finding out later Bush and his cousin both members of the skull & bones society at their school later on another secret society, do your own research, its frightening.
If TBN was really God Driven as Paul Crouch implies, why the collusion with the rest of the disinformation networks?
This initial link led me on a long quest which eventually led me to this site.
I never had a problem that Christians can be prosperous but it brings to mind when a rich man approached Jesus asking how he could have a deeper walk etc. and after Jesus said sell off all you have etc. he went away with a heavy heart, the motto you cannot serve God and mamon.
Seeing many of these televangelists flaunting their wealth is sickening to say the least which brings to mind the scripture of "..behold they have had their reward on this earth.." and when Jesus said "My Fathers house has many mansions, I go to prepare...." and "..they said unto him did we not cast out demons in your name etc...." and the reply "depart from me you doers of iniquity I know you not..." leaves some hope of ultimate justice. (Sorry my paraphrasing, hope you get the gist)
The church and namely TBN is so screwed up that anyone not saved looking at TBN or other infomercial channels will hardly see the difference. Jesse duPlantis even boasts he get landing rights in the middle east because they think he's a clown.
Is this what the church has come to; to be entertained by the gospel? Sheep in wolves clothing?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Man if I feel like this, how does Jesus feel?
