Phil’s cheesy rug is too nice for him to be a real televangelist.
Saw Peter Popoff earlier. When doing his “healing” schtick he wore the infamous hearing aid but when schilling ‘alabaster oil’ – cooking oil in a plastic packet like ketchup – he didn’t. I suppose he could hear his wife just fine with her sitting right next to him.
The Apostles could all fit in one Accord.
There’s a HUGE difference between someone speaking in a professional capacity vs them being called out by a reporter for something they said.
Look what happens when reporter finds a politician and asks them difficult questions or TMZ corners a celeb at an airport.
Being flustered or even lashing out because you’re on TV and asked to explain something you mentioned (sometimes in passing/in the heat of the moment) doesn’t mean you have dementia.
If you find one of his recent sermons, he may be just like you remember him.
Here’s his inspiration for that character.
Wasn’t there one guy who said if he didn’t get a certain amount of donations in a certain amount of time, God would “call him home?” Who was that?
(And I think people actually DID donate, too!)
oral roberts and he did more than once and got it
She has a mixed record on the subject according to this article, but endorses classic antivax memes and her church helped spark a measles outbreak.
Nice how she acknowledges “facts”, but says the Truth (Biblical, one assumes) “always overcomes facts”.
She’ll never go as far as Daddy in the evangelical game. Her eyes aren’t scary enough.
My next user name is going to be Tube Demon.
Guys like this give a bad name to Christianity.
Somewhat risky. Band name?
Only if they were clowns.
He looks like the bloke the bobbies toss in the nick for cutting the throats of 15 men in his hair salon with a straight razor.
Why yes, Mr. Copeland, I do expect you to go in amongst a bunch of “demons” when you’re preparing to go preach, because that’s exactly where a preacher is most needed.
The traditional response to Mr. Copeland’s actions would involve his plane being swallowed by a leviathan, and him then getting spat out in the middle of a crowded airliner on a long flight.
If anyone could make me believe in demons, it would be him.
Do you really want to spend three hours stuck in a tube with a televangelist?
There is a decent chance he really is demented, since about 1 out of 5 people in his age group are. The fact that he seems to be having trouble even articulating a coherent thought to respond to her makes me suspect he may have some cognitive impairment, but I don’t know what he was like in his prime. I have never watched televangelists.
I would not donate to a televangelist myself, but I also don’t care if others want to do so. Sure, I think their money would be better spent on other things, but it’s their money and it’s their choice to make. I am much more concerned about people following actual cult leaders (such as the aforementioned Jim Jones, David Koresh, Jehovah’s Witnesses encouraging their members to die rather than take blood transfusions, Islamic extremists encouraging people to blow themselves up) than I am about this dude being a hypocrite. Do I think a church pastor needs a private jet? No, but I have seen GoFundMe campaigns for things just as dumb or maybe dumber. I have seen professional athletes and wealthy politicians whose contributions to society were arguably less valuable. If this guy is providing people with something they find worthwhile enough that they want to support him having a private jet, then so be it.
His face looks like claymation.
Okay - “Tube Demon” for a band name, and “somewhat risky” for a user name.
Fun times since airlines will provide you with a KJV if you ask. Wife would play Dueling Verses with Wheaton College (Billy Graham’s alma mater) students. She was Methodist and did it from memory.
I used to live just down the road from the Kenneth Copeland Ministries campus near Eagle Mountain Lake, north of Fort Worth (and I’m still only about a 20 minute drive from there). It was a very large estate with many buildings, and had a landing strip and a few small hangars. I only ever saw prop planes there, though. I never bothered to watch him preach–either in person or on TV.
In that video clip with the reporter, he doesn’t come across to ma as having dementia. He’s just full of shit like every other televangelist, and isn’t used to being called out on it. He needs to take lessons from Joel Osteen. From what I’ve seen, that guy has gotten really good at deflecting/rationalizing questions about his obscene wealth.
Huh? is this really a thing?
And why limit it to the King James version? Seems politically incorrect.
