(14,483 posts)The media fame she gains from being linked to the White House is like gold to grifters like her.
And, I would bet her related expense account would be far more than most Americans earn in a year. Republican Jesus would approve.
Betty puts it in proper perspective....

(99 posts)the dark bizarro times were living in. Surely the third because it includes all others.
I cant even believe this is real. Its like were living in a Sims Earth game being played by a teenager with a weird and sadistic sense of humour.

... A shameless religious grifter is a perfect fit for this presidency, an administration built on giving desperate people false hope for personal gain.
To the outside observer, the prosperity gospel may look like a mere extension of more theologically conservative and liturgically demonstrative types of Christianity, a close relative of fundamentalism, evangelicalism, or Pentecostalism. There is overlap with each, to be sure, but the prosperity gospel is a unique creature ...
In the prosperity gospel's telling, God is a divine vending machine: You put in your coin of faith (check or credit also accepted) and out pops your health, wealth, and victory, the latter degraded from a cosmic triumph to positive feelings about your personal life ...
... This movement does not flourish among the upper class. Those who make $10,000 or less per year are twice as likely to adhere to the prosperity gospel as those making $35,000 to $50,000 per year. It is but a slight exaggeration to say the only people getting the promised wealth are those making the promises ...
... Sure, that $75 should probably go to rent, but White's got a whole slew of context-free Bible verses she's presenting as an ironclad contract with God to expand your bank account, if only you'll expand hers first ...

Recently, on The Jim Bakker Show (yes, that Jim Bakker), Central Florida pastor and Donald Trump spiritual adviser Paula White warned of consequences from God for those who dont stand with the president ...
... White, who led a large church in Apopka until last summer, has long been associated with prosperity gospel, which in shorthand means if you give money to the church then God will reward the giver with even more money ...
She also has a long association with Trump, praying at his inauguration and his reelection rally last summer in Orlando. This for a president who wears the mantle of a Christian but is on the record saying hes never sought forgiveness for his sins, a central tenet of Christianity ...
White was on Bakkers show to extol the presidents virtues, and to flog her new book, which a review in Christian Today called narcissistic, dishonest, materialistic, shallow and Trumpesque ...

(36,369 posts)Judas was an early modern day conservative disciple.
Judas got 30 pieces of silver, but just once, for selling Christ.
Pat Robertson, Paula White and their ilk get millions of dollars repeatedly for selling Christ.
Judas was a fool for doing a one-time sale.
