1. Someone break out the holy water

I think we've got a demon.

[merrily]

2. LOL. Wrong sect, though. For Pat, the only thing you have to do rebuke the demon in the name of

Jesus. No accessories needed.

[liberal N proud]

3. Giving to God (or the man pretending to represent God) is more important than a roof over your head.

Looks like hucksters have figured out a new way to bilk the elderly of their money.

[geretogo]

4. I remember what Jesus said about hypocrites , something about a millstone hung around your neck and

dropped in the sea . Your going to burn Pat you Master snake oil salesmen .

[Dont call me Shirley]

5. Pat Robertson = Life sucking scum.

6. Being curious, I checked out the 700 Club dues.

Twenty dollars a month, or $240 per year is the minimum. After that it ranges on to $10,000 a year. I don't know what the minimum gets you, besides a video called "Be Healed." I'm wondering what "good works" evolve from these fees. Probably "spreading the Word."

8. "good works" = Pat's gold investments.

7. Thanks to this DUDE, the "Commercialization of Spirituality" is a LEGAL PRACTICE in the U.S.!

I think I might have overheard him saying that "GOD" created Capitalism, and the DEVIL made everything FREE for everybody".

But, that's just too DEEP for me!

So, I'll just go back watching CARTOONS on television, and pay whatever my CABLE company ask for it!

9. Pat Robertson Engages in Illegal Mining Operation in Liberia - beware the wolf.

http://www.theperspective.org/patrobertson_taylor.html

Over the past few months, columnist Colbert King of the Washington Post had used his columns to expose Pat Robertson's dealing in Liberia. In a series of articles King had sketched out Robertson's profit motives, and his quest to strike it in rich gold in Liberia, which has overriden any morality of doing business with one of Africa's most notorious tyrants.

This looks just like another story about an A**HOLE taking advantage of the Elderly.

It's moment like this, that I wish we would bring back Regulation(s) in the Open Market; I think it's long overdue!

If this is the same dude staring on the 700 Club TV show, do you know "why" the "7" "0" "0"?

11. If there really was a god, I'd expect to see Pat burst into flames.

12. As much as I dislike Pat Robertson and think he's a snake-oil saleman and shyster....

....I watched that video and nowhere did he tell anyone to get a reverse mortgage in order to pay 700 Club dues or send money to him.

Let's be fair about it.

On the other hand, I recall back in the 1980s Jerry Falwell, during one of his end-of-year financial drives, he urged people to send him money so they could make their annual "goal". And, he told people that even if they didn't have the money "yet", they could date the check for the year in question (forget the actual year...1981, 1982, ???) but they wouldn't deposit the check until after January 1. Basically he was urging his followers to break the law!

13. Salvation may be free.

- But not 700 Club Memberships. Jesus doesn't have Pat's overhead costs because he can just make shit appear and disappear like He wants......

18. A short definission of Theology, anyone?

It has always been used by Snake Oil salesmen to further obscured their real intentions and motifs.

I am pretty sure most people have figured this one out by now.

Still, this issue, for me, brings back the memories of the first time I asked a Real Priest about "Cosmology" and "Theology".

I concluded after a long discussion on the subject, that the only thing the two have in common is that both never provided me ANSWERS, but only QUESTIONS!

Many years later, I finally understood the main reason for this: It's all about how MIND CONTROL really works best!

By being kept in the DARK, a SUBJECT(follower) always seeks the LIGHT. Then, and only then, both "Cosmology" and "Theology" rise up and provide the HOOK.

Ironically, I think this is "why" DIPLOMACY becomes such an effective tool of WAR;

Anyhow, maybe that's "why", Theology always sounded too much like Latin to me!

Amen!

15. 700 Club is Christian reconstructionist, yes?

[tiptonic]

16. Onward Christian Solider

Seems his daddy got him out of combat in Korea. He ended up, running the officers club in Japan. What a fine example of a Christian.

17. I've told this here before ...

but my former next door neighbour, a little old lady living in a house ready to fall down, with her one comfortable chair, a table, bed, and of course her little black-and-white-tv tuned to these thieves day in and day out, literally was starving herself in order to be able to walk down to the post office once a week to mail off her cheque. I knew of the cheques, as I was Postmaster here at the time and she had me address the envelopes for her, but had no idea how badly off she was at home until I moved into town right next to her. Her family had almost written her off as unreachable - she was absolutely taken in by these shows (I believe one was Robertson's) and nothing anyone said could make her realize she shouldn't be living like that - she was killing herself slowly. I hate these thieving scam org's with a passion.

19. Can you direct me to WHERE in the video Robertson told the woman to get a reverse mortgage...

....to get money to send to him?
