If I left when I got offended at others posts, it would be a daily thing for me. LOL

HOURLY if it was just a matter of disagreeing.

THE DOG is a drug user, helllooo! He was recently busted., AND if memory serves I thought he had been deported back to Mexico to serve some time there for illegally bringing some BOUNTY back to the U.S., last I heard anyway. Also their so-called "prayer times"? yeah right, only when they are desperately in need like when they took the dog back to Mexico., no what I've heard is nothing christian about them anyone can SAY a few bible verses..and say they pray..but thats not proof positive., just watch their show, there is more than meets the eye, I no longer watch it, actually I never did watch it per se, just stopped for a few minutes while channel surfing to see what all the buzz is/was about.

...that plus Google makes me an expert.

Duane "Dog" Chapman was never arrested for drugs. He did run afoul of the law for capturing the rapist and drug fiend and Max Factor heir in Mexico. That case was settled to the satisfaction of the Mexican authorities.

Chapman has one family member who has a single drug arrest. He is raising a grandson left orphaned by his daughter's death in an automobile accident. I've never heard him pray, but then again I have to say that I've never heard him curse either.

The guy is a "character." He has created a persona about himself that is bigger than life and he is managing that to make a pretty decent living. Criticizing him is like criticizing a comic book character. Though their stories may involve inspirational themes and some healthy merchandising, you're supposed to just laugh at the show and/or hang on for the ride. That's all it is. If an entertainer can somehow make his audience "feel good" as well, then more power to him.

Get your facts straight. He successfully won the case of extradition to Mexico without having to cross the border to defend himself. He was never deported to Mexico. The question came because Dog and company caught a millionaire playboy who jumped bail after being accused of raping dozens of women. Dog sounds like an angel to me. You have a right to your opinion, but base them on facts.

Brother, this is exactly what I was thinking. Here is this obvious "tough guy" praying to Jesus on national tv.

It might have been worth the laugh that others describe. Sometimes toof, you just gotta laugh.

Can you imagine the good this fella could for the Kingdom if he were to become apostolic and start a prison ministry? The prisoners would take one look at him and he'd have their respect. I've been in prison ministry and know for a fact that half the battle is getting the prisoners to respect and trust you.
