Paula White, a prosperity gospel minister who serves as President Donald Trump’s “spiritual adviser,” apparently believes her followers should live in the dark to help keep the lights on at her church.

A lengthy report on White by Mother Jones reveals that the Trump-loving preacher recently told followers at her Supernatural Ministry School in Miami that they could secure God’s favor by sending her church as much money as possible — even if that meant skipping their monthly electric bills.

In particular, White said that followers who send their money to Florida Power and Light (FPL) every month instead of giving it to her church are treating the electric company better than they treat God.

“Instead of writing [that check] to the house of God as I’m instructed to, then what I’m saying spiritually is, ‘FPL, I have now established a spiritual law that put you first,'” White explained to her flock. “So, FPL, save my family, FPL, deliver my drug addicted son. FPL, kill this cancer that doctors say is in my body.”

The Mother Jones article embedded in this is also a good read............

I'll add this, there are now three credit agencies that dictate if you can borrow money.....................and if your a dead beat on your bills............................well.....................you pay the proverbial piper................

1. And the scary part is there are morons who will do exactly as she instructs.

[turbinetree]

5. Yepper spot on...................

and then they wonder why they can't get ahead...................someone is telling them to basically screw themselves literally and then they blame someone else for there stupidity..................

Question:
Why didn't you pay your bill

Answer :

I was told by a scam artist spiritual adviser to the president to be a dead beat just like him................

8. They should also make a sacrifice and give their alcohol, smokes, soda and candy money too.

[turbinetree]

15. That would be asking to much................for them to give up that life style

plus they more than likely cannot add 2+2=4

[Prue]

2. Not the brightest bulb

I don't find this surprising at all. Trump's base doesn't seem like they are the brightest bulb in the lamp anyhow.

11. The very kind

That fall for a Prosperity Preacher. They missed the Eye of the needle verse.

[Prue]

12. Amen

[33taw]

3. Go for it.

[TheBlackAdder]

4. They should. What kind of selfish sheep are they?

[tulipsandroses]

6. How the fuck aren't these people charged for fraud?

If I start pulling that shit, telling people to send me money and they will be delivered from cancer and drug addiction, somebody is gonna be knocking on my door.

[smirkymonkey]

23. That's what baffles me. All of these "prosperity preachers" are charlatans and con-artists of the

highest order. And Paula White is the most bat-shit crazy one of all of them. It's only natural that she and Trump would gravitate toward one another. She is such a blatant bullshit-artist, I don't know how anyone could be stupid enough to fall for her schtick.

Then again, I guess if you are stupid enough to fall for it, you get what you deserve.

7. WTF? Supernatural Ministry School ???? Seriously?

More proof there is no god. If there were he/she would strike this person down for being such a fraud.

9. Did Paula forget

She ain’t God? Pitiful.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. In NJ, I think you can skip payments without affecting your credit. I'm not sure if that's national.

[True Blue American]

14. Please tell me

You are not sending your payment to Paula! Just kidding here.

I like my perfect credit rating.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. I was just checking to see if her congregants would get financially fucked if they skipped payments.

.

In NJ, it's not held against property owners to skip payments.

I don't know if other states have that same protection. If other states report people to the credit bureaus, then Paula White is doubly responsibly for jamming her followers. If they have OK credit, she'll flush that down the toilet and those peop0le will be faced with thousands in charge increases over the next decade.

24. I do not see

How it could not hurt your credit. Someone needs to take that shyster to Court.

Of course Billy Cohn Barr would have it tossed. One good thing Trump is really exposing the belly of the corrupt so called Religious Leaders.

[TheBlackAdder]

31. The utility compamies do not report skipped payments to the credit bureaus--just abusive debts.

.

People who skive out on debts for 6 months or more.

33. They sure come after you here!

[dewsgirl]

17. I believe in Florida it does, I may be wrong though.

[Turbineguy]

13. These people put God in an awkward position.

God is not supposed to have establish cred by doing magic tricks (I always liked the "water into wine" miracle myself).

On the one hand, a reasonable God would turn these crooks into smoking pieces of pork rind with a bolt of lightning. On the other hand, we were warned about false prophets.

And any prophet who hooks up with trump is by definition a false one.

[True Blue American]

16. I like the one

Where Jesus threw the money lenders out of the Temple for cheating people.

They all wish for the return of Christ. I would think twice if I were them.

[Whiskeytide]

25. True story. A couple of years ago I was having some fun ...

... with a Republican relative arguing about religion and politics, and I told that story as Christ throwing the poor people out of the temple because they were interfering with the businessmen trying to run their businesses and help the economy. I had used this line as an illustration/joke often, and almost always got a “screw you” as a comeback.

This was the only time someone sort of bought it. He looked a little confused but didn’t have an immediate response. I could see the wheels were turning. He finally said that wouldn’t surprise him because God knew the value of a good economy, and how it helped poor people.

I never straightened it out for him, but I think he figured it out. He won’t talk politics with me anymore.

[True Blue American]

34. Sounds almost as bad as

The House and Senate were not Congress. When I explained Pelosi had passed 250 bills at that time they sneeringly asked why Pelosi did not dump them on Trumps desk! Then I had to try and explain Government did not work that way.

These people vote.

[safeinOhio]

19. Sure wish we had trumps taxes for the last 20 years,

so we could see how much he gave to churches to receive his blessings.

20. She and her ex-husband Randy started a church...

"without walls" here in Tampa. They did very well, they managed to obtain one of the larger mansions on Bayshore Blvd and a Rolls or two.
Mr White sort of fell apart, accusations of homosexuality, dui's etc. but Paula is quite a piece of work.
Oddly enough, the electric company here is Teco, she must have tailo

[Midnight Writer]
