Like sharks out for blood, televangelists can smell a buck ten miles away, and they've always got a gimmick to pry it from the gullible soul out in TV Land.
Oh, those preying TV preachers
Who milk the mail for cash
Blood-sucking Bible teachers
Who blow funds on a beer bash
After pitching your prayers in the trash.
Plant a seed for prosperity
I see a Rolex out there
So hurry to my meet my needs
Just open your wallet and share.
Golden swans in my shower stalls
A trip to the Holy Land
Costly paintings on my walls
Nothing’s too grand for God’s man.
Adorn my fingers with diamond rings
No off-the-rack suits for me!
Pay your taxes to the king
Give, or you won’t receive!
The Bible says sow liberally;
Blessings don’t come for free!
A vow of two thousand dollars
That’s God’s rock-bottom price.
He’d rather not be bothered
With a measly ten or a five!
Send in that vow right now
Or the Lord will pass you by
Don’t stop praying (and paying)
Or the Fountain will run dry
And you’ll never get pie-in-the-sky!
Send me your wedding ring
I’ll take ANYTHING!
I’ll even take the food from your mouth
To help you prove your faith with a vow!
This is YOUR day for a miracle
You’ll receive a hundred-fold
So mail your money to me
If you want your cup to be full.
This precious truth is worth more than gold
(At least it is to me)!
Got that one down to a science. Very good. My son was in a private school for three years run by Tilton and wife. They divorsed, school dismantled, he left for Florida leaving two sons behind.
Be safe,

YUP! Way too many of those "types", pretending to be ambassadors for Christ and His gospel, have been decieved into thinking that Godliness has something to do with bilking money from the gullible. This has nothing at all to do with Christs message.
Your wisdom here is refreshing. If those being conned were given these insights, most television preachers would be relegated to standing on street corners hawking their polluted message like monkey grinders. Pray that these types be taken down as an example and that the true message of Christianity be celebrated.
Truth! They prey on the weak...and the poor, no wonder Christians (and others) have such a dim view. God is not a genie; He is not mocked. They will have their day...excellent rant, Patricia, I feel the same way!
