Click on the April 21st edisode of Behind the Scenes with Paul Crouch Jr (I guess he's the son of the crazy woman with crazy big hair). |
Did anybody else's Gaydar go off as soon as Paul Crouch Jr. started talking? Mark my words, we're going to hear about this boy someday. |
Gaydar, yes, and something else:
| Quote | Paul Crouch, Jr. leads Dallas area-based Trinity Broadcasting Network, which televises many leading evangelists. He has written a letter to J. Lee Grady of Charisma magazine, and in it he argues that Sen. Chuck Grassley's probe of six leading ministries, including some of the preaching stars of TBN, is potentially "devastating" to religious freedom.
He also rips Ole Anthony of Trinity Foundation, a Dallas-based group that has long been a watchdog of televangelists. Click here for the letter.
| Quote | After finally getting over my shock at J. Lee Grady’s editorial blah, blah... I see that Mr. Grady is once again heading into treacherous waters. His recent editorial about U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley’s call for an investigation of the finances of several prominent television ministries is something that could not only harm the church as we know it today, but the body of Christ as a whole. blah blah... Put aside your personal opinions about any of the six ministries being targeted, and forget how you feel about Christian television as a whole. The much bigger questions we should all be asking are: Do we want the government deciding anything when it comes to the faith we all hold dear? Should government be allowed to dictate what kind a car a minister can drive, or how large a house is permissible and even how much a minister may receive as a salary? Do we want to establish another Church of England, or was that why our forefathers came to this nation in the first place? Separation of church and state is a foundational principle guaranteed in our Constitution, and Mr. Grady’s editorial seems to be ignorant of that fact! [Gee, they want separation now]
Also, let’s look at the “source” of Senator Grassley’s information. blah blah... (Read a book by Wendy Duncan called, I Can’t Hear God Anymore. Enough said….) Why Ole mainly focuses in on “televangelism” is interesting to me, and blah blah...What about the Catholic church, Jewish organizations, or even the Muslims? You get my point, blah, blah...
I leave you with a quote from Martin Niemoeller who was a prominent German pastor put in a concentration camp by the Nazis in 1937: first they came for the blah, blah... |

This is beginning to look like a “They’re suppressing alternative cures”/”My kid got autism from mercury in drugs and they’re all covering it up” kind of a phenomenon – a hyperbolic fight extrapolated from a personal tragedy.
