OBTW, anyone seen the "Reverend" Deion Sanders lately?????

Actually yes, he had an INT last night on MNF.

Good Lord, here we go with the stupid "REal Texans" BS. Give it a rest. REAL Ohioans don't go to Michigan either blah blah blah blah blah

"Unfortunately, I do not doubt for one second that Victoria Osteen was not trying to push her weight around."

What are you saying? A perfect example of a double negataive.

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

"I don't think followers of Jesus should live like royalty."

Now wait a minute there. What's wrong with flying first class and taking a trip? There's nothing wrong with enjoying yourself. Not a darn thing sinful about it.

[MikefromOhio]

Just in case you forgot what he looked like.....

[Cogadh na Sith]

It would've been a clean shoot....

[BigSkyFreeper]

His church looks like a sports arena.

My aunt and uncle attended services once at his church. My uncle said it was like being at Madison Square Garden.

[Al Simmons]

"Thank you for posting this from Pastor Rogers. A class act and faithful follower from what I know of him."

Hear, Hear.

If you want to hear a great preacher, I suggest John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio (understand now that I no longer endorse any kind of born-again or other form of religious orthodoxy whatsover, but Hagee is still fun to watch, from a stylistic/performance viewpoint).

Haggee tells jokes during his services. He is definitely fun to watch and ties very relevant parts of everyday life to christ's teachings.

[MikefromOhio]

whatever you say Dane.

You are just looking to denigrate him for no reason.

Don't you have an immigration thread to go troll on or something?

[Dacula]

That is NOT what I said. Judge not others unless you judge yourself

[don-o]

The thread is about scandal. If Joel decides to take a vacation, can afford first class to Vail - God Bless.

But, what is up with the Missus going off on the plane?

However one defines his role - a man whose wife acts like this is scandal. If you are an uber Christian, as some in the thread say, it's worse.

[Al Simmons]

"She said to me, 'Pastor, he's not the same man I married.'; I replied 'WELL WHAT DID YOU DO TO MAKE HIM THAT WAY??'

*lol*

[Dane]

You are just looking to denigrate him for no reason.

Uh I didn't hold up a plane filled with passengers for hours on the way to hollywood's winter playground.

[Dustbunny]

LOL.... tired

[MikefromOhio]

But, what is up with the Missus going off on the plane?

That's the thing. But instead others would rather trash the guy because he can go to Vail or he does have a large congregation. I mean there are probably 20 posts about HOW LARGE his congregation is.....this thread is just SILLY.

[miele man]

Perhaps you should take your own counsel Mr. Simmons. The "religiosity" you are ranting over came directly from Osteen's own web site. Your anger at Ben Lurkin is horribly misplaced.

[MamaB]

He was a wonderful teacher.

[CaptainK]

I sat on the runway of Newark Airport for 5 hours on a Continental flight last year. I'm feeling Mrs. Osteen.

"Judge not others unless you judge yourself"

One word: Discernment.

Perhaps we are getting to the place in time where drinking on flights should be banned. We can't smoke on planes; why not stop drinking. Alcohol consumption does have a tendency to cause people to react inappropriately.

I hate loud chewing. I've been known to react inappropriately to it.

Perhaps we are getting to the place in time where pretzels, chips and peanuts on flights should be banned.
