[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then maybe watch the HBO documentary about the Falwells? Basically the same story. And Joel Osteen identity is pretty much that he is wealthy, has a plane, a hot wife, a big house and he did precious little to earn those things. Instead mr. Charlatan tells us that he was “favored” and that if you send him money you can be too. [/quote]

“Precious little?”

The man has unique and amazing public speaking talents, and has worked like a dog for decades. Do you think he memorizes his talks on one pass?

And “charlatan?”  He’s not everybody’s cup of tea. He is not mainstream evangelical. But he is not absolutely outside the pale of Christianity either. He does not pretend that his ministry is all people needs. He tells them to find, attend and support a local church. And his personal money comes from books and speeches. It is one thing when people are caught up in a big emotional experience and write a big check or empty their wallet (back when people carried cash) into the collection. But a book purchase is bay a distance. People have time to think, check reviews, even skim pages if they go to a bookstore. [/quote]
