This response is why they can continually rob millions of dollars from the blind and innocent in the name of God. Their god is mammon.
I feel really bad for you.
I expected some kind of attack when I posted that I've enjoyed Joyce Meyer on this forum.
You almost have to wonder if the OP is for real... or if it's a troll post.

Research the lavish lifestyles of these "godly" people on TBN or other networks. All are 501 (c) (3) "churches" which means they sought "permission" from the federal government to operate their "non-profit" "business". Sounds like these people have given themselves as slaves to the State. We cannot serve two masters. Matt. 6:24. Any government creation, like these "churches", are subject to the federal government and all its rules and regulations. Do you think the federal government is in line with the Divine Word of our Father in Heaven? How can we be loyal to both? We cannot, the scriptures tell us so.
Are these the people we want to follow?
Are these the beliefs we want to hold as true?
Should we ask any government's permission to spread God's word?
Should we listen to those that "preach the word" for profit?
Research and study the roots of what you claim to be true. If the truth is your honest and genuine desire, then your prayer will be answered.

That's really too bad.
No one is attacking you. The "attack" is on those who would cash in on your innocent faith in them. Do not place any man or woman on a higher plane then yourself. There is no need to look up to these supposed "christian leaders" because there are none. Jesus taught we are all preachers and no one is above another, nor should we preach for profit. Study the lives of Jesus and the apostles to learn how one should preach to others.
I do not choose to study the gossip rags. I do not want to spread gossip about ministers. I do not want to be a false witness or to stand in judgment.
Every one of us will stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Personally, I need God's mercy.
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

First verify if this information is "gossip" before you categorize it as such. If it is, then you are correct. If it isn't, ..........
I'm done with this conversation. There's always plenty like you that come by this forum to spread their venom.
You should have no problem finding others who will converse with you.
No such venom was spread. I'm sorry you feel this way.
The truth is available if you seek it.
By the way, these "preachers" will freely admit to all this "gossip" and explain it as "God blessing them".
If truth is what you seek, you will find it.
