$50 MILLION Embezzled by the Good Christians at Trinity Broadcast Network

[The Genealogist]

27. My shock over this unexpected revelation has sent me reeling!

I just cannot believe it! No matter how hard I try, I just can't! Surely this is not so! Surely all the fancy cars, and waitstaff, and homes, the gaudy, overdone sets and buildings, the tacky clothes and heaps make-up are just blessings right from God Himself!

Fact of the matter is, I don't like how people, especially true-believers who send these people money, are being hoodwinked. My grandmother was among them. Her income was paltry, some Social Security and a little money from babysitting a few hours a week. She bought her clothes from garage sales and sometimes a sale at a store. She had lots of clothes, but at a dime a blouse or pair of slacks, she could afford to collect clothes over a few decades. She lived in senior subsidized housing, and worried each time a staple of her diet went up in price by a few cents. She ate out some, usually a hamburger; she never ate much, a simple burger was more than she would eat in a meal. But she always sent some televangelist money. Her apartment, when I went to clean it out after her death, was full of cheap goo-gaws, mustard seeds, cassette tapes, books, PTL Club Bibles, letters begging for more money, and other stuff they had sent her. I angrily threw it down the trash chute. I gave her PTL Bible to a neighbor who asked for it. I have little more than contempt for televangelists. She gave what little bit she could in her simple life to these people to buy mansions and cars and expensive clothes for themselves. Disgusting. UTTERLY disgusting to me.
