I guess lying (bearing false witness) is now a good Christian personality trait. Osteen is nothing more than a thieving con man in the first place. His job is separating people from their hard-earned money for his own personal gain. Heâs just another grifter making his pile off of the ignorance of the rubes.
This is one of the best justifications Iâve ever heard for living a religious life, and one of the most beautiful:
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
No snark. Too many suffering.
Joel has always made my skin crawlâŚ
And yet his coffers are wide open for donations. What a bunch of fools to give this charlatan one dime
âHouston Megachurch: We âNever Closed Our Doorsâ To Those Displaced By Harvey.â
Lie.
And here is some intrepid video shot by some guys who stopped by the church to see if Joel was OK
The snark is pretty great.
they should be required to help in events like this in exchange for their tax free status
THAT is something Iâve never understood.
Periodically, Iâll catch 2 mins. of his performance on Sunday morning and the auditorium looks to be packed to the rafters. Itâs just mind boggling to me how these people, all of whom look well to do, would hop on to this grifter backwagon.
A preacher lied? A PROSPERITY GOSPEL preacher lied?
Iâm conflicted. Is the proper response âNo shitâ or âNo fucking shitâ?
You can make a lot of money telling the well-off not just that they deserve all they have accumulated, but that god favors them and is rewarding them monetarily for being such devoted megachurch members.
These are Grifter U. classes.
The Karma-Gloved Proctology Finger of Jesus shall find your hypocritical ass, Joel Osteen.
And your little dog, too!
He blocked Mrs. Betty Bowers? Doesnât realize who heâs fucking with.
Absolute truth-- the doors were never closed,they just werenât ever opened.
Shame remains an excellent motivator!
âWe never closed our doors to those displaced. We just never opened them in the first place!â
I was always led to believe that lying is a sin. My bad.
for those still able to feel shame. Sadly, this excludes many of the GOP and religious right.
