Rory Alec, the co-founder, with his wife Wendy, and CEO of GodTV has stepped down from his position citing a personal moral failure in his marriage.
And...
The statement from GodTV was issued on Thursday with Rory Alecs name already removed from the organizations website.
According to Charisma News, Wendy Alec will be joined by GodTV personality Benny Hinn.
Hinn went through a divorce from his wife of thirty years in 2010 following rumors that he was having an affair with fellow evangelist Paula White who was separated from her evangelist husband, Randy White in the wake of an IRS investigation into financial improprieties at their church. Hinns church was also scrutinized as part of the investigation that looked at five evangelical organizations
Hinn remarried his wife in 2013, blaming her surprise divorce filing on her addiction to prescription drugs and on his lack of attention to her and their children as he fulfilled his ministerial duties.
GodTVs focus is on the youthful Christian demographic, with an an emphasis on universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen man, making him subject to Gods wrath and condemnation, according to their mission statement.

Too bad they can't all be honest and admit that their mission is money, and lots of it.

the article regarding the asshole NC preacher who said Jimmy Carter is going to Hell because he is tolerant. He said gay youth should be beaten.
