My guess it’s like the hotels with the bible in the end table. They provide the version provided for free by The Gideons. ---

He’s just full of shit like every other televangelist, and isn’t used to being called out on it. Agreed. He’s a shyster being called on his shysterism. He’s rattled. He answers her ‘For example’ question, with, “For example, that’s really none of your business.” That’s awful phrasing, but if rattled & flustered people _only_ responded with an improperly phrased sentence or two this world would be a lot better off. He starts to answer & realizes that’s a bad idea & even states that she caught him off guard. He then looks up, thanks the Lord & asks for a moment to [del]pray[/del] come up with a more suitable answer. To me, that’s someone realizing their tongue got a little bit ahead of them before the sentence was even finished coming out of their mouth. Not dementia. ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Like others, I’d like to see some evidence of that–a quick goggle brought up nothing. Oooh, I guess they don’t anymore. Even Alaska has stopped their prayer cards with dinner a few years back. Other than Alaska I don’t know how formal it was, but I saw cartons of little Gideons at the attendants’ stations back in the day. Now they don’t, especially on flights into Saudi Arabia. My bad. ---

She was Methodist and did it from memory. LOL, My mom graduated from Wheaton in 1949 - she used to invite door to door missionaries in and ‘chat’ with them when she got bored … oddly enough after a while they stopped coming around =) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/televangelist-kenneth-copeland-is-coco-for-cocoa-puffs/834854.md?page=2)
