No odor just constant very loud uncontrollable flatulence.

Oh my gosh!!!! Let's see, Anonymous Pam posted in the "Humor" forum the church with the bean dinner with "special music afterwards." Oh, man, poor Gary!!!!! Thanks for the humor!!!

I'm sorry, just couldn't resist it! Now, talk about good eating, I've had a couple of sub sandwiches today. First time I had ham, 2nd time I had BBQ ham. I do them on a wheat sub bun with light mayo, onion, mushroom, green olives, javanero peppers, jalapeno peppers (homegrown by my uncle, so they're hotter!), and banana peppers! When I have them, I like to add bell peppers as well. Very tasty!!! Then, I chase it down with a couple of glasses of water. I guess that is paying off for me! This morning, on a whim, I decided to put on a pair of pants that have been snug for a long time-perfect fit!!! Next I'll start looking at what shirts I can get back into!

No wonder you are losing weight. It is all those peppers you eat. Yuk! Leave the peppers off and olives and that sounds like a good sandwich.

Dove,

I used to couldn't stomach hot food-really. A friend of mine who I used to go to church with got me started on sprinkling cayenne pepper on everything. He said it wasn't really hotter than black pepper (when done in moderation of course) and was good for arthritis. I do have arthritis from the car wrecks I've been through, so I decided to give it a try. I eventually moved on to eating other stuff as well that was hot until today, I can stomach just about anything that is hot. The peppers are really good for you and so are the olives, but leaving them off still makes a good sandwich. BTW, my wife would completely agree with you on the peppers and olives!

Time for a bump.

Ovedya, all of that is completely what I would expect from what I have learned. I lived in Orange County for my entire life (until moving away 2 years ago) and every time I would drive by TBN's monumental palace, I mean "facility, I could see how the place was all about money. If you drive by it during the Christmas season they have what must be a $50,000 Christmas light display.

I remember watching TBN one time and at the end of the show it showed Jan hop into her BMW and drive off.

Now why exactly do you guys have a problem with Six Flags Over Jesus?

I've really only watched " This week in bible prophesy" on TBN. I liked peter and Paul Lalonde. I find most TV evagelists to be shallow and cheesey.

Terry Winters was good. He had Chuck Colsen on as a guest a lot. Chuck Colsen is one of Nixons aids that got busted. He found God just before the trial and spilled the beans about everything in watergate. He later developed a prison ministry.

River,

I think you're right-the money gets to their God-given intellect of knowing better.  I'm of the opinion that a lot of these people started out sincere, but then as the money increased became more and more about the money. 

I think this is what happened to Brother Jimmy Swaggart-I still consider the man anointed of God.  I think he got so big that he thought he was a Superman of God and could get away with it, but he found out he couldn't and got brought down low.  Now, why God chose to let Brother Swaggart take such a big fall when others who are in the WOF movement (which I don't believe Jimmy was or is now in) are raking in dough by the millions by sheer deception, I'll never understand this side of Heaven.  But, I'll tell you one thing-come to my house and let me dig out my old Swaggart LP's and 8-tracks, and you'll hear some of the most anointed music you've ever heard, especially the early albums.

Also, I'm curious why our WOF defender friend hasn't been on here to defend TBN?

bro.jimmy swaggart helped start the wof movement along with kenneth hagin(i beleive)bro. jimmy swaggart now denouces wof he is on spike and bet neworks on sunday and cmt (about5 in the morning i think) daily for a study in the word.bro.jimmy swaggart says when people put you up on a pedestal it goes to your head and i quit listening to him when he fell,but about 8 months ago i found him on the radio.i was ready to quit going to church,because our pastor wants benny hinn and the like to come to our church.i have started praying instead that God renews the spirit our church once had..bro.swaggart has a book called *THE CROSS OF CHRIST* false doctrine it covers the wof movement ,the goverment of 12 and the purpose driven life-church ..opened my eyes to a lot of things that the modern churches are preaching today and what the bible says about these preachers and movements ..
