Holy Land Experience selling items amid financial troubles

I read my Bible daily and have a degree in Theology, but can not recall the scripture where Jesus road a Harley while traveling around the Holy Land.

The Harley is small potatoes .The thing I was most offended by was the "bombardier" jet.

those are 8-25 million not including upkeep .

I know what will help.

Thoughts and prayers!

I read my Bible too. Apparently, Jesus traded that donkey in for a Harley :-)

That’s because the Harley and the Plane don’t appear until the New New Testament. They had to bridge over to the 21st Centry.

All joking aside, it seems like the family was living large and over spending. Did I hear that right, over 9mil tickets were sold? Sounds like attendance was solid, maybe they should have managed the finances better.

Leviticus talks about the swine being unclean and not fit to eat. Perhaps one of the 497 versions of the Bible has translated this to "hog."

Truthfully, money is mentioned more often in the Bible than any other subject. Being humble is something maybe they need to learn as well.

calling the Crouch's crooks would be an understatement. He was gay, paid off his "assistant" on a harassment suit, multiple homes, planes and a corporate "structure" so byzantine no one could unravel it all. That is, until the family started fighting over the spoils, and then it all came out. (Well, not all of it, Paul never did).

He and the Pink Haired wonder lived in separate (of their many) homes. I live just down the road from their West Coast operations base. Tackiest thing you've ever seen at Xmas. Rivals the early years of the Osborne lights. (slight snark).

Here's a good primer on just how loathsome they were:

Keeping up with Creflo Dollar ain't cheap! You can talk to God in any airplane, but He listens when you're doing it in a crazy-expensive private jet...

I just want to thank all of you for these wonderful posts, as they brought a smile to my face. Thank God I opened up this thread.

Reminded of a Black Adder episode in the first season where in order to raise money, Edmund sells a variety of faux-Holy relics...thinking there might be a lesson for HLE in there somewhere.

I can't help but think that TV ministry pretty much equals hypocrite. From Jim Bakker (financial improprieties, and I think, a philanderer) to Pat Robertson ("Fox's Married With Children is a vile, offensive show, oh, Fox, you want to buy my Family Channel? How quickly can I get the check?") to these folks....

She's awesome.
The higher the hair the closer to God.

you really should check out these pics of the Trinity Broadcasting Complex at Christmas:

Over 25 years later, still as relevant as the day he said it.

Where did I say build a water slide? (Sam Kinison, NSFW)

I forget where, it's towards the end, but at one point in this video the Televangelist refers to a commercial airline flight as a "Tube full of demons." Doesn't that justify a private jet? I mean... come on...

That part is in Revelations. ;)

We used to watch her late at night in the dorms at college, usually under the influence of something and were totally entertained. She would get hysterical about something with Jesus or needing money, all that make up would run, the tissue would be mauve and black by the end of the show. We seriously considered making a donation because we enjoyed it so much but never did. Before infomercials took over, it was her, old Star Trek reruns or Twilight Zones. The channels were a bit limited.

I need that wig in my life!!!
