I sometimes think a good bad example is worth two divisions to us. Every day, some former adherents must look at this fellow in horror and begin the slow process of a re-assessment of everything they have believed.
Downsized? Not Pat Robertson...Keep those tithes coming, even if you lose your house....The man is scum who has made his fortune on the backs of the gullible who can least afford it. He is just one of many such scum bags.
Pat Robertson:
Estimates of Pat Robertson’s net worth vary between 140 million and a billion dollars. While the exact figure is not known, there is little doubt that he is a wealthy man... An extremely wealthy man, with a “mammoth media, educational, and legal empire”.
“Robertson lives on the top of a Virginia mountain, in a huge mansion with a private airstrip. He owns the Ice Capades [Pat Robertson's International Family Entertainment Inc bought Ice Capades In February 1995 from Dorothy Hamill for $10 million], a small hotel, diamond mines (in Zaire), a vitamin company (Kalo Vita) involved in a multi-level marketing scheme along the lines of Amway, and until recently, International Family Entertainment, parent company of the Family Channel … all estimated to be worth between $150-200 million”. http://www.inplainsite.org/html/tele...Tele-Robertson
The "would you rob God" bit is in the Old Testament Book of Malachi addressed to the Levitical priests that were robbing from the people's tithes. New Testament Christians are NOT under the law and are not required to tithe. I may as well step the rest of the way into it by saying there is no paid priesthood in the New Testament Church either. Paul supported himself as a tentmaker and many of the disciples continued to be fisherman before and after Christ's resurrection. For-profit "churchianity" is a hypocritical disgrace that Jesus would utterly condemn.
