JOEL OLSTEEN - MORE RAP-TURE THAN SCRIPTURE

One of the few tele-moniests I can stand. For about five minutes. This guy is so good at what he does the other creeps are jealous and can't stand him. Because instead of the hell, fire and brimstone, the fear and devil mongering, and the constant harassment to send in money, he preaches positive thinking, feeling good about yourself, your family and then, only then does he tell you to send in the money. Almost 90 million dollars. If talk is cheap this guy has turned lead into gold. This is alchemy.
Barbara Walters, mentions him as one of the “10 Most Fascinating People of 2006". So far he has not been involved in sex, drug, or molestation, cheating, robbing, or stealing, normal scandals like the other "Do as I say and don't do as I do" like others mentioned here.
REPORTS INDICATE HIS WIFE HAS A TEMPERHis wife is stunningly beautiful and right by his side. She can talk too. No jezebel hookers on this beat. Other than a flight attendant she didn't get along with, a small gift to the FAA and getting off the plane she is fairly clean in the ring of fire preachers bed warmers.
The Federal Aviation Administration has fined Victoria Osteen, wife of Lakewood pastor Joel Osteen, $3,000 after determining she had interfered with a Continental Airlines crew member aboard a flight late last year. And this week, a flight attendant filed suit claiming she was assaulted by Victoria Osteen during that flight to Vail, Colo., for the Christmas holidays.
At least some people aboard the Continental Airlines flight were less than pleased after waiting about two hours at Bush Intercontinental Airport while the Osteens left the plane and their luggage was removed, said a woman who witnessed the incident. “She was just abusive,” said Sheila Steele, who said she was sitting behind Victoria Osteen. “She was just like one of those divas.”
A church spokesman said the couple and their children left the plane voluntarily after the incident Monday and took another flight to Vail, Colo. Joel
Osteen has paid the penalty, which is not an admission of guilt.
In his sermons, Joel Osteen does not mention God. Joel Osteen instead talks about life and it's lessons. I believe he feels when God has something to say, He will say it and do something about it. It’s just his advice on how to live a happy life that has been thought of by other people first, “Think positively about yourself” and other such nonsense as his competitors on the GOD tithing business have said.
Nonsense? Positive thinking is nonsense? Maybe to any Bible thumping, down in the bushes, hell loving, holy rolling, messengers of the true word! In other words, the crackpots who have gone too far and would make great Taliban recruits.
Joel Osteen inherited the business from his father. When Joel Osteen became the head pastor of his church, he had barely finished one sermon and he does not have any Bible training. Maybe thats the secret of his success, he didn't do it the same old, same old way.
The way the thumpers teach the other thumpers, and give them degrees in what? Story telling and threats. Parables and impossibles. Laboring sermons about things that can't be proven. The boring, lying, cheating way these others operate and hasn't learned any of the fear tactics his fellow belchers of brethren intimidation use so copiously.
