well, thank goodness Pat Robertson has chimed in on Haiti

[StormfrontFL]

I can only wonder what dimensional paradox will emit from the bowels of religious zealot-dom when Pat Robertson dies.

When Pat Robertson dies angels will cry...TEARS OF JOY!!

He's a sick twisted evil old troll

 

[maxcok]

He is the personification of a false prophet.

Do you mean to tell me false prophets are not persons? What are they?

 

[D_Inglethorp Rumpshow]

Well Pat's entitled to his opinion, but if they hadn't defeated the french the Louisiana purchase might not have been possible. According to his logic, America could be cursed by proxy.

Romulans :hypnotized:

and Remuses I bet.

 

[faceking]

the pact the expired 6 years ago.........1804-2004. try again Pat

Guess the devil still collects penalties even after the deal is done... a la Obama with banks forced to take TARP money via a PACT, begging to pay it back, finally being allowed to pay it back, and then being penalized for getting the money.

Pat is old and looney... just like Old Uncle Joe Biden... the gaffes are in multitude.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Okay, I'm new to the neighborhood, so could y'all fill me in here please? Do we just ignore this troll when he flashes through with his incomprehensible gibberish? Does anyone ever respond? Do you all have him set on ignore? Any opinions here? Just wondering, please advise, and thanks.

Just ignore him. Most of his posts in this forum consist of mostly outrage and very little (if any) substance.

Thanks, I can see that, and have been so advised. Anyone else?

Pat's just old... far worse has been said about Haiti. Apology (or lack thereof) accepted Pat.

Good knowledge.

. . . . . . . . and when we ignore him, does he typically start responding to his own posts like that?

I must admit that Pat Robertson is one of the more interesting "nut-jobs". The old game used to be that he would invite Jerry Falwell on and let Jerry Falwell spew all the hate. How many of you remember the legendary "Tinky Winky" affair!

When Falwell's waistline measurement exceeded his height and he continued to gain weight near the end of his life, as with the rest of us mortals the statistics of extreme obesity caught up with him and he became ground ornamentation somewhere.

Robertson is in fact one of the most untrustworthy and sneaky within the community of televangelists, but there are some real scumbags out there.

One of the worst was an old letch out of "Gravette Arkansas". I sat in disbelief when "Pastor Arnold" answered a letter to an 8-year-old girl telling her that her puppy that died "went to hell" because all animals go to hell. He then went on to explain (remember again talking to an 8-year-old girl) that they all went to hell because they were not capable of worship.

The world of televangelism is one of the most corrupt and sickest worlds known. How many remember when they all turned on each other. This happened when the improprieties took place with Jim Bakker. Bakker had leases on a number of communications satellite transponders worldwide and the rest of the vultures wanted that money base. He capitulated and the jackals took him down.

When televangelist Jimmy Swaggart (Cousin to the late Jerry Lee Lewis) was caught masturbating on Indio Blvd in a white Jaguar with a car full of porn his phony confession should have won him an academy award. Robertson then came in and going after the Swaggart assets tried to do to Swaggart what Robertson and Swaggart had done to Bakker asking for his resignation. Swaggart publicly knew he was about to get had and
in one of his broadcasts refused to resign. Swaggart and his operation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is one of the most wealthy in the "God Biz".

The slime balls in the "God Inc." are numerous.

D. James Kennedy of Choral Ridge Presbyterian in Ford Lauderdale and all he has done quietly and behind the scenes is very interesting.

Benny Hinn also based in Florida with his ministry is another who loves shows with his healing and other garbage.

We have already mentioned Pastor Arnold Murray in Gravette Arkansas.

Then we have Jan and Paul Crouch. These two (now fortunately in retirement) moved their operation from Santa Ana, California to Texas where they could build rediculous monuments to themselves. When their new Texas studios were under construction Jan Crouch made a special event of the tour. She showed the walls of Paul's office or some other major room and was so proud to state that all of the gold was "real gold leaf" and it was just great that all that money had been donated. For a woman who at age 70 dressed and looked like a cross between a New Orleans hooker after a bad night and a Country Western Singer with obsessive-compulsive it was one of the sickest displays I have ever seen.

Then we have our old friend in Kansas. The man who bases an entire ministry on one single issue and that is homosexuality. Soldiers in Iraq die because we tolerate homosexuality. Hurricains kill people because the U.S. tolerates homosexuality. When he has nothing else to do, Fred Phelps and the rest of his loony toons go out and picket raising literal hell at the funerals of individuals who pass away of complications of HIV.

The main thing that drives these ministries is not love of God. What drives all of them is Greed and desire for money. They do not feed anyone and even if they do most of the money they raise goes either into lavish living conditions for the Pastors involved or into more satellite transponders to solicit even more donations.

Pat Robertson controls a political machine and is by many considered to be one of the most dangerous and controlling men in this country. If you want to look at some interesting things, do some internet searches and look at what he owns. One would wonder where he got the money to become "Mr. Wall Street". The only man more controlling and more self serving is Rupert Murdoch.

When it comes to people like these the rule is:

Hold your friends close, hold your enemies closer because it is these men who have repeatedly bankrolled incredibly idiotic witch hunts and other nonsense and directed your legislators through misinformation to waste your tax dollars on impractical and restrictive nonsense which has benefitted their ministries a great deal and taken money from you as a taxpayer.

TMI, but thanks.
btw, Benny Hinn, hysterical!

 

[midlifebear]

I had breakfast with Jeebus this morning who hinted that Pat the Rat wouldn't be around much longer.

Thanks for the "In The Name of Jeebus" roundup, FuzzyKen.

(By the way, Jeebus picked up the check.) :smile:

 

[HazelGod]

Apparently, the Prince of Darkness himself also takes issue with Robertson's remarks...

Dear Pat Robertson,​

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.​

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.​

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"?​

If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll.​

You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.​

Best, Satan​

Nice one, HG. :biggrin:

 

[B_Hung Jon]

Just wondering, do any people on this site actually believe in the devil?

mmmaybe this would be a topic for a new thread?
but to answer your question, I looked at your gallery, and definitely having some devilish thoughts. :scool:

 

[Nrets]

Some leftist jargon the OP probably wont agree with. But Neither would Pat Robertson, so here ya go!

Why the Blood Is on Our Hands

 

[FuzzyKen]

Personally, I think televangelists are one of the most interesting studies in the history of media.

The interesting and often "questionable" motives of these people are nothing new. Aimee Semple MacPherson was quite probably the first to make her financial mark in the world. At one time the Angeles Temple was one of the most wealthy churches in the nation because of her great abilities with what was then a radio based ministry. She started in the 1920's.

Intersting little factoids:

Some ministries use the symbol of a bird or dove as part of their logos, yet the bible in places refers to birds as being evil.

The Bible forbids the judging of one's fellow man by us mere mortals. Yet, in order to make millions of dollars most televangelists demonize people on a regular basis. They also incite others to demonize thereby compounding the "sin" according to the general rule of things.

If we look at the lives of televangelists and set them up against the 7 deadly sins boy what entertaiment we get then.

The sin of Gluttony: The late Jerry Falwell and the still living John Hagee. Those waistlines are obviously from eating and if it is enough to create morbid obesity, we would have to consider this gluttony.

The sin of Vanity: Jan Crouch the only one who applies makeup with a plastering tool since the passing of the late and great Tammy Faye Bakker. (Just for the record I knew Tammy Faye and she was really great to me) Also, in person without makeup she was really not bad looking and had a great sense of humor. If I go down the list of really bad toupee's or hair systems we could take more space than my computer has on a 1TB hard drive.

The Sin of Greed:

Woops! The list on this one is again one that not only applies to most that are living, but most that are dead too!

If you want to have real fun literally go and dig out the good ol' seven deadly sins and get some popcorn out before watching hours and hours of Trinity Broadcasting Network. In each broadcast you will find numerous entertaining moments as you watch along with the biggest "sinners" you've ever seen.

What I fully recommend is to get out some popcorn and watch for yourself. If you really seriously look at what they say and do versus what was done by the example set as to how we are supposed to live our lives, this really gets interesting and becomes not only informative but educational.

This is currently the most powerful "special interest group" in the nation and the one who has cost most of us the most dearly with regards to taxation and court wrangling.

This thread and this board is really not a place for religious viewpoints, but, education about the world and the people in it is never a bad things. This board definitely is here for education in it's many forms.

Have some fun!
