Residents, employees, and disenchanted donation givers are baffled and annoyed over Televangelist David Cerullo's plans to build an opulent $4 million mansion in South Carolina.
The religious programming mogul has allegedly cut jobs, frozen employee wages, and even lowered the thermostat in his buildings last winter to save money! All the penny pinching has finally paid off it seems...more on this story
David Cerullo is the CEO of Inspiration Networks, a religious cable channel launched in 1990.
Back in 2007, a greasy man claiming to be the incarnation of Jesus Christ made his public debut.
Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda received media attention from around the world and even CNN stopped to interview him, finding out that modern day Jesus was an ex-heroin addict, a professional thief, and a proud wearer of a 666 tattoo. In fact, many of his followers were running to the nearest tattoo parlor to get the 666 symbol tattooed on their bodies to show their dedication to Puerto Rican Jesus...
PR Jesus was against the church and regularly protested and interrupted church services by smashing religious idols with his smile...He also had a thing for Rolex watches, Lexus cars, and hot women....He planned to rule the world....
Fast forward to 2009--we have a new president, a crappy economy, and PR Jesus has just lost a heated divorce settlement case against his second wife, who he calls a “gold-digging lesbian.” The case was riddled with tension and incoherent ramblings about 'uncircumsicion'...

This just in....well not really, it happened 2 years ago....but no that's not a typo; famous televangelist Joyce Meyer did in fact pay $23,000 for a marble toilet in November, 2007.
While LA senorita Meyer's taste in toilets shouldn't have been anybody's business, this tacky display of excess overflowed the bowl of common sense and actually precipitated an investigation into her finances by a U.S Senator...It also caused a storm of speculation among the common folk like myself, who simply could not come up with a valid justification no matter how hard we tried.
I was kinda bored today and thought I could use a quick pick me up, so I headed over to MinistryWatch.com, a site that aims to protect unsuspecting consumers from donating to seedy televangelists. I did a search on The Christian Network a.k.a Worship Network a.k.a Praise TV Network and a quick glance of their financial statements show they've done quite well over the past few years. Touché Christian Network! Those "Hymns of Hope" CDs must have been flying off the rack because from 2000 to 2004, the Christian Network had a revenue of $22,215,458! That's between $4 million and $5 million every year! except for 2001 which was a bad year all around. Even though the 2005 to 2008 financial statements aren't on Ministry Watch just yet, I can imagine that the Christian Network continues to do exceedingly well despite the economic crisis that has the rest of the world contemplating pawning their gold teeth for cash.
I think it's time that Televangelism be offered as a major in college...
