Georgia pastor asks his flock to donate to the cause of getting him a $65 million private jet

For your Friday entertainment!

http://www.creflodollarministries.org/ProjectG650/Default.aspx

The ministry’s current airplane, was built in 1984, purchased by the ministry in 1999 and has since logged four million miles. Recently on an overseas trip to a global conference, one of the engines failed. By the grace of God, the expert pilot, who’s flown with Creflo for almost 20 years, landed the plane safely without injury or harm to any passengers.

Due to this recent incident coupled with the 31 years the airplane has been in service, we believe it is time to replace this aircraft so that our Pastors and staff can continue to safely and swiftly share the Good News of the Gospel worldwide. We need your help to continue reaching a lost and dying world for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, we are asking members, partners, and supporters of this ministry to assist us in acquiring a Gulfstream G650 airplane so that Pastors Creflo and Taffi and World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace.
Your love gift of any amount will be greatly appreciated.

link provided should you want to help the pastor, so he doesn't have to fly commercial.

that his flock would be better served by setting up a fund to find another pastor. One who might possibly follow the tenets of Jesus.

Their mission is not to help those in need, it is helping themselves spread out, and taking money from those who can't afford to give to them to begin with.

He used to tell us of his experiences at their dinner table. One time, his FIL was talking about a new family that joined the flock, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "money, money, money" in contemplation of the riches this new family will bestow upon him. He is such a disgusting POS and was recently caught in an adulterous affair. Did the flock abandon him? Hell no, it was the wife's fault that he had to seek comfort elsewhere.

a couple of years ago. Went to 'Anger management' classes and all that. A horrible person with a hateful and corrupted congregation of saps and stooges.

I wonder if they just see religion as a racket to make money, and think that the people who come to their churches are suckers?

It's kind of like actors in reality shows - they have a part to play, but at the end of the day they're just acting and they know it.
