Along with the recent multi million dollar lawsuit against Trinity Broadcasting Network and
Paul and Jan Crouch here is a little background on their past corruption and homophobic history.
http://www.mixin.com/watch/51316 The video is more than 12 minutes but really brings to light the hypocrisy of these vile people. It's a Fox expose' from a local Texas channel but it's very well done. (Not the national Faux News.) Here is the latest story and I think it was posted on DU previously but it cannot be promoted enough. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0323-televangelist-feud-20120323,0,7963175.story ![]() These people need to be prosecuted not only for fraud but for IRS violations for blatantly selling goods using the word "donations" as a code word for "buying" goods and services and making tax free profits. Their wealth would pay for the health care of many actually poor and unfortunate human beings.

1. I would gaze in a state of horrified puzzlement at those shows on cable. The ultimate insanity.

3. Their Xmas shows are not to be missed!
Hilarious! I've almost died laughing a few times, as Paul 'n Jan roam around their gift shop at Xmas trying to sucker the faithful with some of the most hideous Jesus-junk ever manufactured.
During one big Xmas show, Jan looked seriously over-medicated. Paul was jabbering full-speed like a desperate used-car salesman trying to close a deal. When he turned to Jan, expecting a response, she would just stand there, spaced out. When she did answer, she...spoke...VERY...slowly. Paul got so mad, I thought he was going to bop her upside the head with a life-size Baby Jesus ($99.95, all major credit cards accepted.) Then there's TBN's whack pianist, Dino Kartsonakis. He wears big diamond rings on every finger and looks like the offspring of a one-night stand between Liberace and Keith Richards. Dino did look like he was having a good time playing for the TBN Children's Choir. In fact, TOO good a time - I thought he looked like an in-progress Amber Alert. |

4. I've spent many evenings laughing at the very things you mentioned. Plus PTL many years ago.
At first it seemed like wasted time but eventually I realized I was being educated in the ways of subtle evil and understanding just how society can be manipulated.
