If ya'll think TBN is bad, watch BET late on Sunday nights. Every criminal preacher who has had some kind of sex or financial scandal is on there selling prayer cloths and splinters off the cross. Peter Popoff, Robert Tilton, you name it. Evidently people are still falling for it, because they are paying for TV time some way.


Hey don't knock BET Inspiration! They have Kerney Thomas too!!!

Oh, same here. First time I ever used a DVR was for BET Inspiration so my brother and I could watch it the next day. We placed bets as to who would not be first to laugh...every time Kerney yelled "do it NOOOOOOOOOOW" I won the bet. :)

Which newsmagazine was it that dove his dumpster and came up with thousands of envelopes WITH PERSONAL PRAYER REQUESTS STILL INSIDE stripped clean of any donation.

He later claimed he laid on a stack of prayer requests SO LONG PRAYING that he had to undergo plastic surgery because ink from those same prayer requests had seeped into his bloodstream and created bags under his eyes.


Another SHYSTER along the same lines WHICH I SAW PERSONALLY was W V Grant, who was actually imprisoned for tax evasion. He sold his ministry facilities to another Heretic, T D JAKES, who renamed it "The Potter's House"

Derivative of the German word for defecation. :shock:
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

I know a little German (especially the cuss words :lol: ), and it is somewhat similar. :lol: :lol:

Who was it that was fussing at us all for using the word shyster a while back?

Gentlemen, Gentlemen.

Can you think of a BETTER more SUITABLE word for those who prostitute the gospel for their own filthy gain?

Those who turn Jesus into a fetchit boy for their own greed?

Maybe

Postby Pastor Gary » May 10th, 2008, 11:21 am

Maybe the origin is more debatable that I suspected:

http://germanenglishwords.com/rlgs.htm#shyster
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)



"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

".....an unscrupulous, dishonest, underhanded, unethical or questionable practitioner."


And again I say: Can anyone think of a better word?
