$10M plane? Gee, I wonder who paid for that? Yes people, keep sending money to these people for prayers or for a direct connection to God Himself. This is insane! God is free for all who worship him and allow him into their lives, their hearts. It''s just a money-making scheme although many believe he has made differences in their lives or has he? God is who makes things happen for us. Believe in Him! People believe in this man and give to this man when they have little themselves to give and he lives like a king? Something is terribly wrong with this picture.

Let''s see: preaches a phony "prosperity gospel", inherited the family religion biz from dad, makes no mention of sin or hell in his "sermons", banks millions upon millions of dollars, and has a wife who thinks her stuff doesn''t stink and that working stiffs are her personal slaves. That doesn''t sound very Christian to me.

Tammy Faye Baker and Victoria Olsteen two peas from the same pod. If there wasn''t some truth to the story then why did she pay the fine to the FAA? Now they don''t fly first class, they bought a $10M plane so she doesn''t have to deal with the lower "class".

This case is about an assault. One person cannot attack another person without legal consequences. An airline attendant must deal with the public, but is not a punching bag who must take abuse. It sounds like Ms. Osteen has become accustomed to privileged treatment, and reacts badly when such treatment is not forthcoming. It is hard to imagine a stain on an airplane seat would warrant hysteria, but I wasn''t there, it might have been disgusting. What truly IS disgusting is the nonsense "Christians" are writing in her defense, or against liberals on this site. It just shows how hateful "Christians" can truly be, and how they''ve formed their own little club, which Jesus taught against. How dare any Christian accuse liberals of tolerating child abuse. Thou shalt not bear false witness.

hey liberal me, what kind of work did you do to support those 5 kids, any of the old ''''in out in out''''? i bet youre good at it what with 5 kids. maybe you should have kept your legs together longer and gone to college and then your kids wouldnt have had to grow up as trailer trash.

Hahahaha you are an idiot---I did go to college--we never lived in a trailer--I have always owned my own house and my kids are all college educated, have families careers and homes of their own too!

So URSODUMB---perhaps you didn''t do so well?? Sorry

Ah christian mythology, soon, it too, will be the stories told to future generations as the gods of Olympus were in ancient Greece & Roman times were told to us. Only in Capitalism would you find a god-for-hire.

So she works in the religion industry, SO WHAT?

So God approves of being "sold". I don''t recall Jesus ever praying for money and these evangelists tell their audiences the money is for God--and I''ll bet God would say he has no use for money---better yet, ask George Bush---he seems to have some converstaions with God!!! LOL

compared to you who makes money off welfare

Posted by jamesm12341

Speak for yourself jwind11--

I supported 5 kids working 2 jobs and put myself through college---never had any assistance from anyone, it was my responsibility.

How about you jwind11--you constantly assume (you know what that word means don''t you?) the worst of everyone---is that so you''ll feel better about your own failures?

[According to court documents, Brown claims that she suffers from anxiety and hemorrhoids because of the incident involving Victoria Osteen and said her faith was affected. ]

hemorrhoids? shouldn''t she be seeing a pharmacist ... and not an attorney?

If charges are true, she is just another Christian nut job. If not true, then flight attendant is a nut job. One wonders why Airline did not, or refused to, call police on the Olsteens. Olsteens must have done something wrong to be fined 3 grand which is chicken feed to these extremely wealthy Christians. But the Christian congregation of nut jobs keeps giving them their hard earned money so good for the Olsteens as they laugh all the way to the bank.

The Arrogance of a Pastor''s Wife in the Church - - I sincerely hope this will set a precedence that simply because you are a pastor''s wife, YOU CAN''T HAVE IT YOUR WAY !! Too often, people and in general, members of congregations are forced to tolerate these women simply because of their "make believe status!" They get away with everything from running members away from the church, to having members removed from positions because they don''t like them. Many of these wives feel threatened by members for being too smart. Many of them are also notorious for disrespecting members by giving them a piece of their mind ALL to the knowledge of their spouses who refuse to see wrong in their wives...after all, they have to go home with them - albeit some...unfortunately by their own testimony.

Sit these women down and put them in their place! Treat them the same as if they were another lay member who would be rebuked for being late to Sunday School, bible study, prayer or not attending each and every function. The wives and other family members are allowed to drag their hips in late or whenever they please and sit on the front row with no recourse. Some may say, people are just jealous...YOU WISH !! God has NO FAVORITES !

I hope the judge will make a bold statement and treat victoria as any other person in the courtroom !!

Is there any doubt that this is about money and not justice? Do you think that our courts could possibly tell the difference between without a full blown trial? Of course not. This is how America''s corrupt, stupid, broken justice system works. And the case will likely settle since a court trial is so *** expensive. What a bad joke our country has become.

This is the biggest crock. I bet Brown is black, a racist, liberal and has had more than one encounter with co-workers and passengers. In her eyes, an opportunity of a life time to get rich all I have to do is bump into a passenger and make it appear that I am the victim. After all I am a god (a flight attendent) what I says goes and I know it.

Gotta love these thumpers--they can pick and choose the 10 commandments they want to live by.

But hey--they make a lot of money selling God and Jesus!
