Trinity Broadcasting Network Co-Founder Jan Crouch Dies at 78 After Suffering Stroke

Source: The Christian Post



Trinity Broadcasting Network co-founder Jan Crouch, who had been in the hospital after suffering a massive stroke last week, has died at the age of 78, the family announced early Tuesday.

"Laurie and I have just watched the transition of our precious Mother from this world to the next; watched her step into the presence of Jesus and into her heavenly reward," Jan Crouch's son Mat and other family members announced early Tuesday. "Jan Crouch, known around the world as Momma Jan, has gone home."

The family added, "Those who battled for the Kingdom of God knew her as a fighter — someone who didn't give up, someone who fought relentlessly to get the Gospel around the world… To thousands of orphans around the world, and those orphaned in spirit, she was Momma Jan, quick with a smile, a gift, and a word of encouragement."

Last week, TBN announced on its website, "Our sister and TBN co-founder Jan Crouch was taken to the hospital on Wednesday evening, May 25th, after suffering a stroke in the Orlando, Florida area. She is resting comfortably as her physicians and family care for her."

Longtime con artist who took advantage of the sick. Naturally, Trump was drawn to her for religious mentoring:


She could raise chickens from the dead, but couldn't save herself:


And no explanation why her buddies and business associates Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn couldn't use their magic powers to heal her.

Their "take" makes Joel Osteen look like a street urchin.

They basically ran the same scan as the Bakkers but made sure to color within the lines to avoid crashing and burning.

The thing about playing a game is sometimes the referee blows the whistle.

R.I.P., Ms. Crouch.

Mrs. Crouch's family: "Dear Lord, please heal our Precious Mother, Your Servant, Jan."

The Lord: "Ah HELL no!"

(I tried finding a clip of Samuel L. Jackson saying it. No dice. Sorry.)

Televangelist Jan Crouch Dies At Age 78

In 2012 Crouch’s granddaughter accused her of “misappropriating” tens of millions in donations meant for their scam ministry:
Among purchases, the network founded by Televangelists Paul and Jan Crouch, is accused of misappropriating its ‘charitable assets’ toward a $50 million jet, 13 mansions and a $100,000-mobile home for Mrs Crouch’s dogs. Their granddaughter, Brittany Koper, 26, recently filed her allegations in court after a brief appointment as the network’s chief finance director in July. She claims she was fired in September after discovering the ‘illegal financial schemes’ according to the lawsuit obtained by the Los Angeles Times, and consequently reporting them to Mr Crouch.

have already replaced Jan and her late husband, Paul. From what I understand Matt and wife took over right after Paul died I think early last year.

Their children will keep the scamming going.

They pretty much had His and Hers mansions, sometimes next door to each other, sometimes just in the same neighborhood. They hadn't lived under the same roof in years.

stroke (n.) Look up stroke at Dictionary.com
"act of striking," c. 1300, probably from Old English *strac "stroke," from Proto-Germanic *straik- (source also of Middle Low German strek, German streich, Gothic striks "stroke&quot ; see stroke (v.).

The meaning "mark of a pen" is from 1560s; that of "a striking of a clock" is from mid-15c. Sense of "feat, achievement" (as in stroke of luck, 1853) first found 1670s; the meaning "single pull of an oar or single movement of machinery" is from 1731. Meaning "apoplectic seizure" is from 1590s (originally the Stroke of God's Hand)


It was a bit late in coming
