Competitors were judged on neatness and speed, and I was shocked to learn that tying a turban is harder than it looks!
Analogies are great but attempting to knit 10 different concepts together can get a little tricky sometimes.
Here Paula White compares bible quotes to pregnant women to shape shifters to dwindling numbers of employees to life changes to parasitic babies to god's plan to the devil's lying ways to having hope for the future to bethlehem with boas? to new beginnings to righteousness and beyond.......
I'm always on the lookout for Jan Crouch videos, so I was beyond elated to find a relatively recent one.
Here's a video of TBN's Jan Crouch crying for cash:
So what's going on with TBN? Are they broke? Have they fallen victim to the recession like the rest of us? Is Brenda even a real person? I doubt it.
According to Ministrywatch.com, a church and ministry watchdog, TBN closed 2006 with a total revenue of $200,658,000 and $838,983,000 in assets. Since TBN has been blatantly shady with Ministry Watch from the beginning (their transparency grade is F) and they haven't provided their 2007, 2008, and 2009 numbers yet, there's no way to tell if they really are in the poor house, but since televangelists are immune to strife and recessions, I highly doubt that TBN is in financial ruin.
Therefore I wonder why old Janny is crying for cash on the tube......
The beautiful flower that is Jan Crouch has traveled to South Africa with her Smile of a Child organization to distribute toys among the poor children of South Africa. Her hair looks spectacular and the shoulder pads in her black lace dress are very elegant:
First, it was Tom Cruise acting all intense and nutty in those creepy Scientology videos:
Then came the BBC documentary exposing Scientology:
and now, the St. Petersburg Times has done a 3 part in-depth report/unvelingof the Church of Scientology complete with testimony from disenchanted and very perturbed ex-members. The report is rife with scandalous allegations of bizarre rituals and behaviors carried out by the church's leader, David Miscavige. Read the full report here (opens in a new window)
Televangelist Thomas Manton the fourth, was arrested by Kenyan Police last month for allegedly "trafficking pornographic material and being in Kenya illegally."more on this story
The good rev claims to have predicted 911 in 1997 and his online bio states: "In his revivals and conferences, multitudes have witnessed the Holy Spirit making the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dumb speak - and healing incurable diseases and performing many other creative miracles."
Most baffling is why he felt the need to traffic porn across the world.. maybe his internet connection is clogged by God...
Below is a clip of the good rev prophetically shrieking out the phrase "what do you want to be known for...when it's ALL ovah?!!"
A few days ago, Oprah interviewed disgraced televangelist Ted Haggard about his meth infused, gay sex scandal and I couldn't help thinking about the things he said in the Jesus Camp Documentary condemning homosexuality.
Here's a short clip:
It tickles me to think that the whole time, he was buying meth from his male prostitute lover and getting it on in seedy motels...
When I say I've watched a lot of late night religious TV, I mean I've watched A LOT of religious programming.... but somehow, I managed to miss this pearl:

Her name is Jan Crouch and along with her husband Paul, she owns one of the biggest religious TV networks: TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network). She has the biggest hair of anybody I've ever known and she's always squeezing the hell out of the innocent little tissues that happen to be on her god table during one of her "prayers" and you know what, I absolutely adore her!

I've combed the internet for televangelist gimmick videos and I've put together a few clips for your viewing pleasure. Now, a Rastafarian might say that the methods these televangelists use to get into your wallet are pure "TacTricks" and that they should be condemned to the fire or "Fi-yaaaa!!"
This is true.
These miracle healers are pushing everything from crackers to oil to water and one pastor even has a....well, you'll see.
As I curiously opened an email with "Increase your lovestick" in the subject line, eyes up towards the ceiling, I wondered what kind of spam Televangelist Pat Robertson gets every day.I then wondered if I would be able to dig up some snazzy Pat Robertson clips. After 2 seconds of fast finger work, I came across a "Becoming an ex-gay" type of video created by the 700 Club.
Within the first 30 seconds Pat breaks it down: there was a militant lesbian who found jesus and stunned the gay community when she became Un-gay. She then resumed her post as magazine editor of a magazine named after a friend who had been allegedly murdered by her gay lover.
In the video, Charlene Cothran (a.k.a the militant lesbian) says that one day during a gay pride event, a sense of shame came over her; I tend to think it was caused by the hideous red and black flannel shirts she was wearing at the time. If I left the house wearing that, I would definitely be ashamed, unless of of course, I was off to chop down a tree in the mountains...but getting back to the video, Ms. Cothran, who is now living a life of celibacy, is dedicated to pulling people out of what she calls "the gay life" and insists that being Un-gay is better than any good music in a club or any gay pride parade.
Pat Robertson, who apparently views homosexuals as a group of people who have thrown their hands up and continue to sin just for the hell of it, believes that god loves all gays even though they will always have a gray ziggy cloud of confusion and turmoil hanging over them. Most dissapointing is the lack of trannies prancing around dressed like ballerinas in the stock footage.
Well, this guy looks more like a cross between Elvis Presley and Nathan Lane but he is chock full of charisma.
I actually grew fond of this fox and I'm honestly tempted to send him a $1000 seed. Thank god I'm dead ass broke and can't be seduced by his beautiful hair.......
If you've ever wanted to know about hurricanes and how they affect airplanes, then you're in luck!
Although his perfect afro kinda drowns out his words, this young man has given a detailed explanation of hot and cold air and high turbulence that can shake a plane and how it all relates to you sowing a $777 seed to the church.
