Pacing around and shaking my head

I just can't believe it! Really, I just can't !!

I have long found a mirthful amusement in Jesse Duplantis Ministries. An American TV Evangelist completely engaged in prosperity focused teaching... ie: Bless him with wealth and God will bless you with wealth....

Well he has re-done his website www.jdm.org and this is what stopped me in my tracks: (In reference to the benifits of becoming a financial partner/contributor to his ministry...)

"Preferred Seating – Partners have a special section in every JDM-hosted event –– such as our special Friday Night events in key cities around the US or meetings held at our JDM International Headquarters! Preferred seating is based on availability."

Well... I can just imagine Jesus almost ready to preach to the crowds. His disciples have roped off the front area and he gives them a little more time to wander among the people and shake their money bags; sprooking "front seats, just 15 danari..." Some disciples chat lightheartedly with the wealthy as they are guided to their 'preferred' seats, and others glare menacingly at anyone else that gets too close...

This is Christianity EVERTED.

CK, have you heard the Good News?! IT IS DONE! PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS!

(Tell me they need a jet! Look at their feet: they look like ghosts! They could just fly themselves. Oh, oh, oh me of little faith: it's their followers who need the jet, not them. "We'll catch y'all in Africa! We goan float off now, ya hear!")

Good to see down at the 'Compassion Centre' they delivered a truckload of stuff to the people of New Orleans...

Now you know where their shoes went...

I don't know why they didn't just parachute drop the goods in, from the plane? Maybe the 'Darhma Institue' is a Christain Organization...?
