I agree a lot of Christians have dropped the ball.

yup the christian and catholic church have done more to turn people away from christ than turn people into believers

there's countless stories of ex believers pointing to the church and christians as to why they now denounce their faith or questioned it.

and when one questions their faith they get ridiculed for it, which to me is insane. questioning my faith brought me to more enlightenment and becoming more of a believer.

Not caping for him because I'm not sure if I fully trust the guy myself, but he doesn't make his money from the church. He doesn't have a salary and hasn't had one for a while. That money has gone to the community and church.

I don't have all the information other that one of my close friends who live in Houston (and this thread) but from what I've seen, the church wasn't able to be open at first because of logistics. It is now.

Why not focus energy elsewhere?

That's not what these young uneducated militant negroes want to hear.

They want to blame white Jesus; whoever that is by the way, for all of the problems in life that many of them have brought upon themselves.

This is the sort of goal post moving snake oil the religion sells you.

If you don't believe, you didn't believe the right way.

Or some other dumb shyt

Ignorant breh that's no different than a virgin trying to tell a pornstar what sex feels like.

Unless you have had the experience you can't speak on the matter.

Are you that dumb of a negro you fail to grasp that. :mjlol:

Probably how Joel looked when someone expected him to open an arena sized building on his own.


Not sure how the general public thought he could come up with the personnel on the fly to open, maintain, and secure the building, while organizing sleeping\feeding arrangements on top of it......

You would have to get enough volunteers or people who aren't really effected by the flood to be willing to serve or get paid for their services.....

Joel Osteen's Church Now Open to Houston Evacuees in Wake of Harvey (UPDATE)


update-graphic-red-bar.jpg


7:50 AM PT -- Pastor Osteen's church is now open for evacuees, and he says flooding inside the church is the reason for the delay.

A Lakewood Church rep tells us, "Lakewood’s doors are open now to anyone needing shelter. We are also coordinating with the city as a collection site for distributing supplies to area shelters. We are collecting diapers, baby formula, baby food and other supplies. Please bring these items to Lakewood Church, Circle Drive off Timmons St."

The rep also sent us photos of "initial flooding" within the church, and says this is "why we couldn't open initially."

Pastor Joel Osteen is taking serious heat for not turning his Houston megachurch into a shelter for thousands of displaced residents who have no place to go.

The Houston Lakewood Church has a capacity of almost 17,000 but it has not been open to evacuees since the storm hit.


Probably started flooding his own shyt after the social media backlash
