Say Reverend, About That Rolls Royce…

About flipping time:

Acting on tips about preachers who ride in Rolls Royces and have purportedly paid $30,000 for a conference table, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee said Tuesday he’s 8SOGI580&show_article=1″>investigating the finances of six well-known TV ministers. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said those under scrutiny include faith healer Benny Hinn, Georgia megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar and one of the nation’s best known female preachers, Joyce Meyer. Grassley sent letters to the half-dozen Christian media ministries earlier this week requesting answers by Dec. 6 about their expenses, executive compensation and amenities, including use of fancy cars and private jets. In a statement, Grassley said he was acting on complaints from the public and news coverage of the organizations. Hat Tip: Casey’s Critical Thinking

Remember the days when Christians used to be intelligent, discerning people who weren’t be easily fooled by fraudulent ministries and hucksters peddling the spiritual equivalent of snake oil?

Me neither.

True story….my sister in law was flipping through the channels and stopped and watched Joyce Meyer because she “was sparkly” (her clothing and jewelry).

Mysterious ways?

Yawn. I wish Senator Grassley would have taken my dozen letters to his office seriously concerning the Adventist Health System with $1.6 BILLION in revenue. He has done nothing. I have sent the IRS 1,000 pages of evidence. Nothing. Grassley is just a senate bully picking on small fry tax cheats. The big guys are the Adventist Health System.
