I don’t know Joel or Victoria. I don’t know what is in their hearts. I will say that he doesn’t preach actual scripture but he has convinced thousands of people to fill his church arena. He must be a great actor or his audience are a bunch of dumbfounded people.

People involved in both parties took advantage. You can't just call out one.
The RNC received the most donations from companies that received a PPP.
Instead of pointing the finger at one, can you at least agree that politicians are politicians no matter what side they are on.. And in reality they are all shite stains?

You realize that those church services are like staffing a small college football game right? It’s not just a few people passing out program and throwing some coffee pots out.

“This mother fricker doesn’t pay taxes, “
Yes he does, the church is exempt but he pays income tax on any compensation he gets. I can’t stand the guy, I can’t stand mega churches because they are all about $$$$

Sorry, this mother fricker can afford to pay his employees. Meanwhile the thousands of people laid off at the meat packing plant don’t get shite. This is outrageous
I’m with you for the most part but not sure you understand how the PPP works. The business is obligated to show that the loan taken was used to pay the employees. So in your example I guess the owner of the meat packing plant (or any business for that matter) could possibly come out of pocket to pay their employees. Not sure where you draw the line. (Cash balances, home equity, securities, etc?)

I can assure you the IRS looks at operations like Osteen’s with a microscope.
I think the IRS let’s them get away with murder, lest they catch hell for “targeting Christians.”

There is NO Jesus in his "sermons." Just "Be good and good things will come to you. Do you want it? Just feel good about getting it and good things will come to you."
With his shiny white teeth.
And he most certainly doesn't make any attempt whatsoever to convict anyone. Like Dr. Rogers used to say... if you aren't getting your toes stepped on, you need to find a different church.

I’m thinking he has like 300 people paid and then a thousand or so on a voluntary basis. Sold copiers at one point to these churches and they said they never had the funds but yet I was sitting at a table in their courtyard where they were charging coffee at 4 bucks a cup. I just have nothing but disdain for these mega churches and feel bad for the people who fall for it.

Is it his church.. Or maybe its another one like his or it could be multiple churches, but they sell concessions during service.

What a fricking charlatan this fricking snake oil salesman is. This mother fricker doesn’t pay taxes, is worth over 100 million dollars, and has his own private jet from his own constituency. Between not paying taxes and his private jet, why doesn’t he just sell the jet or think through he’s saved far more than 4.4 million dollars by not being taxed? Why doesn’t he take one for the team?
Sorry, but I blame the govt for giving him this opportunity and I blame his followers for giving him money. He's not forcing people to give him money. If you can't see how you're being hoodwinked by this a-hole then maybe you deserve to be swindled.

That's rather obvious.
Just out of curiosity, what makes a church a "mega church"?
We've got close to 30,000 members, but I'd in no way consider us a "mega church." We are just a church with a lot of members.

I pointed it out in that post: selling coffee. Once you get to that point, you’re evil. I go to a huge Episcopal Cathedral here in Denver, and they’ve never thought about charging their congregation for coffee.

I’m sure if you had a private jet you’d of taken the PPP money.
