Joyce Meyer and $23,000 toilet?

Post by **_SoaringEagle** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 1:12 am

I really hope this isn't correct. I really hope this is a lie, or something distorted, but the following makes the claim the Joyce Meyer ministries spent 23,000 dollars for a toilet. Is there anyway to verify this?

I don't think we'll know for sure until the US government has finished it's hearing. Unfortunately the accusation is not simply that she paid that much for a toilet but that she used donated "ministry" funds.

The person who provided the information to the US government is Ole Anthony. He did not go to the government with this info, they came to him asking for it. He was recently inteviewed on a radio show here in Toronto. Here's the link if you'd like to listen. Just look for the Ole Anthony interview. It's about 20 minutes long.

I disagree with the prosperity "gospel". Even so, I want to reserve judgement on the particulars until more info is available. The ministries are not required to go before the hearing, they've been asked to. I hope they will comply....otherwise it would seem they might have something to hide.

I personally believe that God is in the process of "shaking things up" for these money makers/fakers on TBN and other "gospel" programs.

I often wonder how long God will allow His Holy Name to be mocked by such men who demand money for "ministry" and spend it on $30000 dog houses and $20000 toilets.

God bless the men and women who are not in it for the money, but are doing so out of a pure heart.

1Th 2:5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness--God [is] witness.

Today the President of ORU, Richard Roberts, resigned amid allegations of having misspent university funds for an extravagant lifestyle.
