wo former employees of the world's largest Christian television channel Trinity Broadcasting Network are accusing the non-profit of spending $50 million of its funding on extravagant personal expenses.
Among purchases, the network founded by Televangelists Paul and Jan Crouch, is accused of misappropriating its 'charitable assets' toward a $50 million jet, 13 mansions and a $100,000-mobile home for Mrs Crouch's dogs.
Their granddaughter, Brittany Koper, 26, recently filed her allegations in court after a brief appointment as the network's chief finance director in July.

You would have thought they would have learned something from the Bakkers...guess not. Stupid runs deep
Romans 12:19
New International Version (NIV)
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord.
that should be :
Never trust a woman with pink hair...
ALL of the mega church prosperity preachers are frauds. And I mean ALL including one here in Houston. “The love of money is the root of all evil”.
When a “preacher” takes a $14 million advance on a book, it makes me question his sincerity. If everything in that book is there to help people, why not give it away?
Then there’s the preacher that sells a book about the time God let him go to Heaven and look around. If God let me go to Heaven for a visit I’d be AFRAID to charge people to tell them about it.
Yes, there it is the hankie!
I’m sorry, but as I stated on another thread, I just have to know the reason for that PINK HAIR.
Wow.
Give your donations to a ‘REAL Christian couple” and the sacrificial work they do in Haiti. They don’t live in mansions either but among the poor they serve. True heroes...
The apostle Paul spoke of a man he knew (most likely it was him) who was taken into Heaven and then forbidden to speak of what he saw while he was there.
We're supposed to believe these con artists who "go to Heaven" and write books and make money off the "experience" when Paul wasn't allowed to say a word about what he saw?
>>Stupid runs deep<<
I assume you mean the people who give their $$ to these shysters...
Personally I have no issue with purchasing books, CD’s or other items from Christian authors, ministers, etc....After all its not produced without cost nor effort so a $$ transaction is no biggie. However purchasing a product from a minister or church that practices an overly lavish lifestyle is definitely cause for refrain.
If Holy Spirit gave them the gift of tongues, they probably still speak in tongues. I never read anywhere in the Bible where Divine gifts were rescended.
To whom much is given, much is required.
This is where the discernment given by the Holy Spirit and study of the Scriptures comes in. If someone claiming to be a "Christian" teaches something that is in total opposition to the word of God, then we know that they are the "wolves in sheep's clothing" the Holy Spirit warned us about.
Unfortunately, many desperate and lonely and vulnerable people are taken in by these people and can lose every penny they have. And if you notice, those are the exact people who are targeted with promises of healing and help with wayward children and an end to financial problems.
The Paul and Jan Crouches of the world are despicable.
Easy. That’s the color of the wig.
I bet hardly any-one (church goers) reading this knows of a church in their area who needs money. Why do stupid people give their hard earned income to these low life? I have Dish Net-work, as many others. There must be twelve religious stations to view, and I have only seen one I would give to, Catholic, and I’m not even close to being Catholic.
Yes, but why, LOL? I would love to hear the woman explain why she thought pink hair was a good choice.
I Corinthians 13:8
disgusting.
The Crouches actually started out on the Bakkers TV network doing a kids puppet show so it looks like they learned everything including greed.
