I knew you would get your TBN jab there. Its ok you enjoy it.

LOL!! I actually have never seen inappropriate behaviour on a TBN telethon.(but then of course I have not seen very many) like I have on some of the other smaller Christian TV network ones.

For all of their faults Paul and Jan have kept TBN the most solvent of all of the Christian TV endeavors and probably do much less overt fundraising than most.

WHAT??

Jeanie, above is your post where you said the visiting minister ordered the Lobster.

I then quoted Thad's post where he says that it was the host pastor, NOT the visiting minister that ordered the lobster.

After service they were taken out to eat.

When it came time to order the visiting minister ordered Lobster-

the waitress informed him that the only lobster they had was flown in from Australia and it would cost 400-500$

the visiting minister responded "thats fine!"

in the words of this Pastor's wife to me "can you believe ordering a 400-500$ lobster???"


Is this over the top in your opinion ????

it really doesnt matter whether he is a minister or not, for anyone to do this it is wrong.

We're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors. No, really we're just not the gossipin' kind. Oh you'll never hear one of us repeatin' gossip, so you better be sure and listen close the first time.

Especially for a minister who is supposed to be a steward of God's money. (I know we all are but especially a minister who is supposed to lead by example)

I don't begrudge preachers good meals, nice cars, nice homes, etc but I do expect moderation and good judgement from them.

My sentiments, exactly! Nothing wrong with spending money and having
a good time, but let all things be done in moderation.
