This whole cutting up Paula White into pieces everytimes she gets mentioned here is getting a little old-imo.
well Jeanie, as one that has taken more than one shot at sister paula, and will do so in the future if the situation warrents, let me say first that if the name in the opening tHread were Steafast, my attitude would be the same. "send me money to break generational curses" will illicit a snort and a sarcastic comment regardless of who you are.
thank God Steafast would never do that!
On another note, if you are twice divorced and dont take so much as a fifteen minute break from "ministering" in public, AND you continue to ask for $$$ on TV, I will be sure to point out the utter folly of the act.
however had sister paula announced her divorce and that she was stepping down from all ministery for a period of time, then my attitude would have been to simply pray for someone in a bad situation.
the "cutting up" is related to her post error activity. NOT her failure.

I personaly do not have a problem with discussing the above mentioned-
(ie-is it ok for a ministry to ask for donations)
It just seems to me that when ever Paula White gets mentioned on AFF ritual takes place where we go beyond disagreeing with her ministry principals. Into just out and out making fun of her.
Im sorry I love you all and think the world of the folks on AFF, just reading some of this stuff over and over gets a little old imo.
At the same time, we need to be truthful, and not just present half truths. The donation was towards a purchase not a donation towards prayer.That those who contributed of their free will would receive books and disc.(whatever listed above)
I think $35 dollars to be a fair exchange actually.

well, I read the first post, and like a lot of people it surely looked more like a ploy get money and magic than it was to recieve resources to help folks.
I guess if i were making the offer, I would have been more clear on what one was getting.
As to the pavlovian response Sister Paula gets....well... uhm.... we are talking about one who has "rung the bell" more than once....
i am guilty. i have poped off concerning her and her infamous-most-recent-ex-husband....not because they have divorced, which is a terrible thing no matter who you are, but because of their choices to remain in ministry with no break dispite of the circumstance!

Plus, some of us think this doctrine of generational curses is bunk.
And makes for a good discussion to me!
A part of me wants to agree with you, but in dealing with so many people over the years, holy ghost filled people. Some have repeated the same patterns of their parents.
But is this really a curse, or just bad habits passed down?
Another thing I would like to discuss is when is it ok for a ministry to ask for funds?
Missionaries to do it, and rightfully so.
Some well meaning ministries do need the donations of others to continue their work for God.
So when is it ok, and when is it not ok?
well, keeping it close to the topic at hand, I see nothing wrong with anyone saying "have problem X in your life? i have a series about that subject, send $35 and you will recieve X,Y,Z blah blah blah."
but when you are wording it in such a fassion that leads people to believe that their "offering" is an act of faith over a particular issue, I have a BIG problem.

Jesus came to give you and your family joy, blessings and fulfill His promises!
If you're not experiencing the blessings God has prepared for you, they're perhaps being blocked by Generational Curses.
Generational curses, such as habits, poverty or depression, are destructive cycles that remain even after you or a family member has been forgiven.
But you can break free through the power of Jesus Christ!
Jesus was born to break every Generational Curse. He declared, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, NKJV).
Receive the tools you need for you, your children, or your grandchildren to experience Generational Blessings when you give your best ministry gift of $35 or more.
Make this the best Christmas you could ever give your family
-- or yourself, Generational Blessings!

Just a recycle of papal indulgences.
The whole money for a miracle crowd.
At least in this case she is actually selling something instead of the usual Simony- send money and the miracle check will be in the mail.
