If your own pastor went on national TV and said he believes Mormons are saved... and if also he's evasive when asked if Hindus and atheists go to heaven, you're telling us you wouldn't be bothered by that?
I don't understand why you are beating this bush so hard concerning me????? Of course I would be concerned if MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY PASTOR did this, cuz HEEEEEEEEEEEE is MYYYYYYYYYY Pastor and that affects me, get it, sheesh!
JO means nothing to me, has no impact on my life, I am not called to go and make everything right in Houston.

You parenthesied comment brings you to light.. I try so hard to appear, "non-critical" what a joke!

Ok then.

So anyone who expresses concern about a preacher expressing blatant falsehood on core bible doctrines is just trying to "go out and show how everyone is wrong".

Okey doke.

Don't get his wife angry. Especially on a plane......

Sheesh man you don't get it at all. One last kick at the can and then we're done okay?? There are those who's calling is to preach, point out false doctrines, preach the Message. That is NOT my calling. I, again I TR, I don't criticize, that is for OTHERS to do. YOU seem to have picked up that mantle, now you're criticizing me, have at it I guess.

You parenthesied comment brings you to light.. I try so hard to appear, "non-critical" what a joke!
.

Why did I focus on you? Well, you chose to insert yourself into the conversation by posting on the thread.... So why is it wrong to ask follow up questions?

You went out of your way to tell us how you like his speaking style, how his church organizes their office, how he looks at his wife, etc...

... but then you not-so-subtly imply that those who're who express concern about is lack of sound doctrine are being "critical".

-
You imply that you're not going to comment on his doctrinal stuff because he's not your pastor. In essence , it's not something you feel like commenting on since he's not your pastor.

OK but... he's not your pastor and that didn't stop you from commenting on irrelevant stuff like how he looks at his wife, or how his church arranges their office!

Good grief, at least be consistent.
-----
And yes, its obvious you're trying hard to appear non-critical. Even Stevie Wonder can see that. In my opinion, you trying to deny it is what is a joke.

Anyway, I wont "beat the bush" anymore. We can just move on if you like sir.

ROFL!!!! That is exactly what I was thinking. Apparently Joel is much nicer than she is.

I think her little airplane altercation set back their PR effort a bit but it all seems to have faded away now. I hope he read her the riot act over her behaviour.

Here ya go;

Apparently she thnks the name "Victoria" means she is Queen Victoria and must be obeyed, waited on IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!

If there is a polar opposite of the fruit of the spirit I think that is what she displayed here. I would have loved to have seen Joel's face when all of this went down. He probably wanted to go hide somewhere.

Re: Interesting Article on Joel Osteen

I read the link... I imagine the some of the accounts were overblown.
Osteen and family would have a huge target painted on thier foreheads, being the head of such a large prominent church.

It wouldn't have happened had she just patiently waited.

Hindsight, 20/20

How many times have I done something without thinking it through?

Too many to count.
