Book deals - Joel sells millions of books and Victoria, his wife, is also writing now

You could legit lose someone in Osteen’s house for hours.

It’s big enough that even yelling for someone, they might not hear you

I don't blame JO for making money. People are willingly handing it to him. It's their fault for being swindled

He’s not wrong, but he spent 70 years preaching to over 2 billion people all over the world. If that’s the worst you can find (which again he isn’t wrong) then I’d say thats a pretty remarkable track record for a preacher/evangelist. Read his book Just as I Am and see where his heart was. Just saying, don’t spout off stupid stuff hiding behind an anonymous board.

Yep. Definitely too large for a family of only four people. LOL

I’m sure they have an army of servants living there too.

Billy Graham was not a shyster. Joel Osteen is everything I hate about Prosperity Theology and the weak- minded moths that are attracted to it’s flame.

Both provided a service that others desired and both are have been rewarded. Nothing wrong with a huge house for all your family and friends to drop by and pay you a visit. Nothing wrong with owning a jet. It just means that you have something that others desire. Hope, snake oil or a new car. Most millionaires make a nickle a pickle and get paid by the masses. Wrigley's gum used to a 5 cents a pack. Unless the service is "free" like Facebook where you have to exchange your data I am all for it.

He's probably the lone exception to my Airplane Rule (If your preacher owns an airplane, he is no longer in the business of saving souls).

Jesse Duplantis (probably not related to Antoine) from Louisiana is another master at this.

He had a great sermon on why he needed a newer jet (Falcon 7x) that would enable him to spread God’s word faster.

I admit I’m surprised to learn Graham lived relatively modestly,

You guys continue attacking the fruits of a righteous man, and you'll soon find out who is using you as their attack dog.

Don't let Satan use you.

Victoria is faker than Joel. Just look at her, listen to her, it’s incredibly clear she’s all about the money

If giant swimming pools in the shape of a cross existed in the 50’s/60’s, Billy woulda had one.

Olsteen is a ugly frick with a hot wife. Moral of the story is if you want to make bank and rip off poor people. This is the route for you if you are ugly and a good car salesman.

So Joel is the Better shyster?



I am all for people making as much money as they possibly can, but like anything else there are exceptions to the rules and I like Joel Olsteen is no better than a drug dealer.

It might not be a physical drug, but what they do is psychological. Of course the same can be said about something like gambling, but at least it's not using God to do it.

They give you that first hit for free by telling you how great it is and bring you to their services then there will always be those who will get sucked in by the false sense of community, etc, etc. But once you are in.. Don't think about associating with others who might influence you to leave. No.. Because those people are sinners and it's the devil's way to getting you sucked back in to your old ways..

What gets me about Joel is turning away the people from the compaq center when the hurricane hits


I mean the money doesn’t bother me as much as that and the fact that he’s not really a preacher. You heard one sermon u heard them all

So what if god doesn’t bless u with health or a new job etc does that make u a bad Christian?

And he lets Victoria preach and I mean she’s hot lol but come on it’s basically tony Robbins
