[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Curious have any of you actually listened to Joyce[/b] or Joel or you just don't like that they are wealthy?
I am not so into either one, but have read and seen enough of them to wonder what exactly it is you object to in their messages.
I have seen Joyce do a whole week on prayer or hearing from the Holy Spirit, what is the issue with that?[/quote]

I used to listen to Joyce and TD.  I have also attended their seminars.  And then I started to see with my own eyes and really listen.  They are very much cultish.  It really is all about money.  Lord, when it is time for giving, they separate people out by how much you give.  It starts out with "for those who can give a thousand dollars today, stand in this line and come on down".  Then five-hundred dollars.  Heck, by the time they got to me with my little 20 dollar bill (broke and unemployed at the time), they were simply passing the plate around.  Of course, those with the big bucks walked down to the aisle so that everyone could see who was able to give the most.

I also know of a local mega church in Maryland (originally in DC) that had people sign over the deeds to their home to the church.   These parishoners were elderly people.  I was a member of another church, and I think it was at this point that I started reading and thinking for myself.  A woman with two children who had been a member of the church for a couple of years lost her job.  She asked the church for help to provide rent and food for her children, and I personally heard this well-regarded minister ask her about her tithing.  He turned to his co-pastor of the church and said check out her tithing history and determine how much she was tithing.  He said, we (the church) is successful because we run it like a business. To this day, many years out, I still dont see how that was relevant to a child of God in need.

Joyce, Creflo, Joel, and the likes are all about the Benjamin.  Yours!  [/quote]
