The granddaughter of Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Paul and Jan Crouch has accused the world’s largest Christian broadcaster of unlawfully distributing charitable assets worth more than $50 million to the company’s directors. The charges are leveled in a federal lawsuit filed by Crouch granddaughter Brittany Koper last week against her former lawyers, who also do legal work for TBN. “Observers have often wondered how the Crouches can afford multiple mansions on both coasts, a $50 million jet and chauffeurs,” said Tymothy MacLeod, Koper’s attorney. “And finally, with the CFO coming forward, we have answers to those questions.” This would hardly be the first scandal to rock the nation’s largest Christian broadcast network. A gay engineer sued Trinity in 2009 after his sexuality was publicly mocked with pornography in the office and accused of having a “fairy man-gina” by Paul Crouch Jr., son of the network’s founder. Crouch left the network soon after the lawsuit. One final fun fact to chew on: Trinity pays no taxes on its $827.6 Million in revenue and assets, as it is considered to be a religious non-profit organization by the federal government. $50 MILLION embezzled by Christian television executives, accusations of man-gina possession, sexual harassment lawsuits, and pornography in the office? How terribly Christlike.
Paul and Jan Crouch under $50 Million of soft focus.

Let me amend yours and the author's disingenuous, weaselly characterization regarding the above misleading, bullsh*t title... Here's the REAL DEAL: '$50 MILLION Embezzled FROM good Christians BY fake "Christian" thieves at Trinity Broadcast Network' See the difference? Thank you. You may now return to kneeling at Gaia's feet and kissing mother earth's azz.
I post articles and use the titles provided. I am not paid to re-write shit to make your pussy hurt less. As for the religious commentary, you believe what you want to believe, and I'll believe what I want to believe. Just like the First Amendment is written to accommodate. You have heard of it I presume?
And I am not some tool to humor your anti-Christian bullsh*t and sore various orifices, Prince Warlock. As for the religious commentary, you believe what you want to believe, and I'll believe what I want to believe. Just like the First Amendment is written to accommodate. You have heard of it I presume? (sob, sniffle) Now you're accusing me of censoring you?? LOL Hey - use the entire box of Kleenex if you must, Mikey
Warlock is not a term my faith uses. We also don't recognized there being a Satan; he's a Christian affectation. Not understanding my religion is merely just the biggest reason you are mildly entertain a spectacle, and not much more. And I don't know what you mean or where you get the censorship angle. I just know you are coming n with some strange notion that you can attack and push an aggressive line and think you would bother me any. You are just coming across as a variation of stupid; which is your prerogative. After all, Stone's forum has a lot of that going on from strange characters who are righties, so you just fit right in just fine here.
What is your faith?
You notice he never did answer. OR, helping us "understand" his "religion".

Why do you hate the US so much?
I would venture a guess that anyone who is against the U.S. becoming a theocracy with Christianity as the one true religion of record is a 'Satanist' to Mr. Stone here. And that to him, many thousands of Goddess based religion believers who were burned at the stake by the Catholic Church in England and other parts of Europe as heretics deserved their deaths.
And that to him, many thousands of Goddess based religion believers who were burned at the stake by the Catholic Church in England and other parts of Europe as heretics deserved their deaths. Oh yay, some more Wiccan revisionist history. Wicca is a modern religion created by Gerald Gardner in the 1940's. The overwhelming majority of victims "burned at the stake" or otherwise tortured and / or killed during the Middle Ages for witchcraft were not "goddess" worshippers or practioners of paganism. Most were innocent victims of mass-hysteria or victims of oppressive government officials who wished to do things like: A) Steal their property. If they are a "criminal" and executed by the State, then the government often confiscated their property. B) Silence political opposition or simply kill people that the government officials simply didn't like. C) Provide the classic strategy of the pagan Roman empire to keep the peasants from revolting: "bread and circuses". Witch-hunts provided the government for an alternate explanation as to why people's lives were so difficult -- it wasn't the governments' policies, it was witches!! You will note that in the above examples I cited government officials as the persecutors in the witch-hunts. That is because in the overwhelming majority of cases, it was not church authorities which tried people for "witchcraft", it was the government. Wicca is a modern religion which worships the demons ("gods" and "goddesses") of pagan antiquity. It is not a continuation of the same. Gerald Gardner created it, using rituals in many cases directly copied from the satanist Aleister Crowley (who called himself "The Great Beast"). He also added in some perverted S & M sex rituals so that he could get his jollies with people that he convinced to join with him in his brand new religion worshipping the dead gods and goddesses of paganism. So no, you are not a victim in a long- oppressed religion. You are a practioner of a modern fringe religion created by Gardner. The overwhelming majority of people killed in the witch-hunts were not pagans, most were either Christians or non-religious. The term witch-craft used in the Middle Ages refers to the classical definition of that term: using magic to cause harm to others. Thus, while Wiccans can practice witchcraft in the classical sense, not everyone who was or is accused of "casting spells" etc. is a Wiccan. And historically speaking, it was the advent of Christianity that brought the practice of "witch-hunting" into a decline. In ancient paganism, witch-hunting was commonplace. After all, since pagans believe in magic, then bad fortune was easy to blame on black magic. The early Christians knew that Jesus Christ is more powerful than the false gods and goddesses of the pagans, and thus we have nothing to fear from them. The Emperor Constantine outlawed witch-hunts at roughly the same time that he issued his edict of toleration toward Christianity and began openly supporting it by helping to build Christian Churches through-out the Empire. Constantine's own rise to power was an example of the superiority of Christianity over the false gods of paganism. He ordered his soldiers to display the Cross of Jesus Christ, and they were victorious over the followers of the pagan god Mithras. Thus, the spells and rituals of the pagan god of war were shown to be powerless against the Christian Prince of Peace. Paganism died out not because of persecution, but because people saw that it didn't work.
Perhaps I missed the gist of your post, but "Wiccans" do not practice "witchcraft" or "maejiick." They are "mother-earth" type folks that might be "neo-pagans" at best but in all cases, they understand the term "shame." similar to most everyone around the world, even if they are Christians.
I believe that you did miss the gist of my post, or I am misunderstanding your response. I was responding to the false claim that the victims of of the medieval witch-hunts were pagans being persecuted for their religious beliefs, and that Wiccans are the direct descendants of these "witches". That was an idea that was proposed many decades ago by a crack-pot academic and has now been widely discredited by historians. Despite the fact that it has been resoundingly discredited, it is common among Wiccans to repeat this propaganda, refering to it as "The Burning Times", and to act as though they are the continuation of some persecuted sect that has existed from antiquity. Since most Wiccans also tend to be leftists, they seem to feel better if they can portray themselves as the persecuted "victims" of allegedly oppressive Christians when in fact most of them are just spoiled brats rebelling against the religion of their parents. And if you are claiming that the modern Wiccan religion does not employ "magick", spells, and so forth -- a brief perusal of the internet can refute that claim.
We don't see eye to eye. Wiccans are about as close to animism as anyone can become however, with a modern twist dealing with "Mother Earth" and the politics thereof. Oh yeah, the UN plays a significant purpose here. They can take their politics and cram it where the Sun don't shine ... to use an old cliche.

buck you are wrong. I was in Wicca for a short time. It is all about magic and spells. WICCA is witchcraft and placings spells and curses on people.
