Most televangelists like Kenneth Copeland are scum, taking advantage of gullible people.

I'd give money to the homeless & to pay tithes in local churches rather than to give money to people like him.

Creflo Dollar is now accepting tithes via CashApp

Creflo Dollar Sets Up Cash App Account To Collect Tithes During Coronavirus Quarantine

By Victor Omondi The ongoing Coronavirus outbreak has paralyzed almost every activity in the world. People can longer buy and sell as they used to do, investors are crying over subsiding trade in the global stocks market. Even worse, people can no longer gather in churches to worship their...
I admire this man. He doesn't even hide it and people are still dumb enough to follow him. I mean just look at this shit

All they need to do is to create a Cash App account and wire money to $DollaDollaBillYall.

When your pastors CashApp name is quoting Cash Rules Everything Around Me, he has no fucks to give.

I dont know if it's still this way but tithing was also a way of absolving you of sin. The more you paid the greater sims were forgiven.

Lmao!!

Creflo Dollar is the most honest thief that I wonder if the term is even appropriate for him. I think every 5 years he steps back and is just amazed with everything he gets away with.

"I understand the concerns over coronavirus but those concerns should not interfere with the tithing so I can afford to pay my bills on my mansion, fleet of luxury cars & private jet. If I'm struggling, nobody's getting into Heaven. So pay your tithes so I can properly shine while spreading the gospel," Pastor Creflo Dollar

I can't believe that's real.

Do any other religions have things like this?

I'm Muslim and I have no doubt there are those who take advantage on the sly but I've never seen anyone so openly describe their lifestyle and the believers need to keep funding it.

The hustle is usually on the low. Churches are tax exempt and the Bible asks for 10% tithing. It wasn't until I was an adult that I encountered "Prosperity Gospel" and how popular it is. Creflo, Joel Osteen, and other charismatic thieves preach that God will bless you with finances if you are faithful. They are doing great, therefore God has obviously blessed them, and their success gives them even more authority. "Do what I do, be like me, and God will hook you up too. Follow Him (Me!) while kicking up 10%.". They are pretty much celebrities, which brings in more followers and money.

Lmao I've never seen someone hold people's souls hostage like Creflo though. Shameless!

Putting all of his herd at risk by saying this, aside from being a plain old grifter. Not very Christlike. I feel really bad for people who believe in this message and will risk their and everyone else's health for this kind of thing.

there's a very large swathe of the prominent pious who must be far more atheist privately than even the biggest edgelord - because even a hardcore euphoric Fedora - sorry, trilby- enthusiast has a couple of bucks on Pascal's Wager as a hedge. These guys have made a profound bet that it's horseshit.

Ever since the 700 club I always thought these dudes couldn't do what they do and believe in Jesus at the same time.

Protip: if you're hurting for cash, grab the collection plate and visibly and loudly cough all over it. If nobody takes the plate within five minutes, it's legally yours.

Gospel prosperity is basically a cult. If America wasn't such a vulture capitalist failing state, they'd crack down on these groups.

I grew up catholic unfortunately, those jerks bill you monthly like they're a utility
I was under the impression that Evangelicals avoided using the term "tithe". I was raised Catholic originally so the word and it's meaning we're second nature to me but when I moved to the south, few evangelicals knew the phrase - despite donating to their church all the same.

Copeland is a grifter who preys on superstitious old people who aren't able to connect the dots between his lavish lifestyle and the tithes he grifts for.
I only knew it because of those old AD&D Gold Box games and wondering why the hell my Paladins were giving away money everytime I went into a temple.
I have genuinely never heard the word. You learn something every day. Also, if you're a Christian, then you do your thing, I respect it even if it's not my belief system. We're all in this together, so much love to you. However, Kenneth Copeland and people like him can suck my balls.

I had to go to church until my mid-teens. Quite familiar, unfortunately. Copeland, like every prosperity preacher, is a cancer on society.

The evangelicals I grew up with were the worst. They used "tithe". You see, tithing 10% is what you "owe" god. If you want your multiplied blessing from god you have to go beyond the tithe and give an "offering". The offering is what god blesses and multiplies. So many guilt trip sermons on tithes and offerings, coincidentally always when the pastor seemed to be feeling financial stress. Although it was probably difficult maintaining that large ranch with all that land and so many horses. Horses aren't cheap! Especially when you don't have an actual fucking job.

Prosperity gospel is some of the most fucked up shit I've ever heard of.

How can people trust a character like that, HAHA? Judge-of-character is at an all time low. People who are obviously bad people, liars, etc are being lauded. What the fuck is wrong with people? Look at how fake that fucker is. He's just there to steal your dumbass money. And then there is the President. Fucking hell.

Yep, every single one of them.

Jesus was literally against money, especially money as business, in the church....and that's all these guys chase. 🤷‍♂️
It's almost like they're hypocrites who don't believe what they actually preach.

Tithes are supposed to be about 10% of your earnings. So if you are earning nothing they should get jack shit. These guys are just straight up thieving bastards who prey on people.

I honestly feel nothing towards people that buy into this shit because you'd have to be dumb as fuck to.

This man exists in the state he is because they enabled him to.
