Folks

I wonder what you think of this?

Perhaps he is aptly named - or should it be "Great flow" (of) Dollar  (s)!

This gives us a bad name as Christians - and I say this as a Conservative
Evangelical - Charismatic Christian too.

NEW YORK -- God wants Creflo Dollar to have a luxurious private  jet, and
anyone that thinks otherwise is working for the Devil. That's the view  of a
controversial American huckster/televangelist, who broke his silence this
week after being _pilloried for demanding his credulous flock  pay for a
Gulfstream G650_

Last month Dollar _launched an online appeal_
(http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/03/15/american-pastor-creflo-dollar-mocked-for-launching-online-appe

sow $300 or more” to help fund the purchase of the $65 million  private jet,
which boasts two Rolls Royce engines, multichannel satellites and
high-speed Internet.
After the pastor’s demand for such earthly ostentation _was reported on_
(http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/14/jesus-wants-me-to-have-this-j
et.html)  (and widely  mocked), the video demanding the cash was withdrawn
and the flamboyant religious  businessman went quiet… until this week, when
the Godly entrepreneur responded  to his critics by suggesting Satan is
trying to discredit him.
