Jesus said "by their fruit you shall know them". If I see an apple tree bearing apples, am I being judgmental if I call it an apple tree? If an apple tree claims to be a banana tree but I see apples, am I being judgmental if I call it an apple tree in spite of the claims of the apple tree to the contrary?
Jesus said a good tree cannot produce evil fruit nor can an evil tree produce good fruit. I am not the one who determines the fruit, but I can see the fruit and I can call it for what it is. That's not being judgmental or breathing out lies. That's just stating the truth.
As Jack Nicholson said famously once in a movie "You can't handle the truth!"

Don't try to confuse tv1a with the facts! (the first sentence of your post is priceless! LOL)

Would not be the kind of gravy train the big church was but a man could definitely survive on the tithe of 150 folks if a fair portion of them had good paying jobs.

CC1, the group that would follow TB would have blind faith, and more than likely simpletons who are influenced by showmanship. These types of people usually don't have the higher paying jobs which require analytical skills.

You could be correct and I could be wrong. According to my wife I have been wrong before.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
When a man or woman of God begin to be used in any form of the five-fold ministry, it will either humble them in the sight of a mighty God OR it will lift them up into pride....and therefore, pride can take people down a dangerous path..to love the attention, the money, the lifestyle , and the fame...making the wrong choices thinking they are above the laws of even what they preach...
Then the manipulation begins and that itself births followers whom become blind to the "real" spirit of the manipulator.....
Staying the Word, in prayer, in a lifestyle of accountablity to others and to our God, is our hope ....

You can go ahead and assume that anything I say or do is wrong! (According to my wife!) j/k hehehehe
With the apparent attitude that TB has shown toward these events, I pity anyone who would follow him to a new church he might start!
