Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines

Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.

World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.

This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.

And as usual, the forum rules apply.

  • Jesse Duplantis

    So I thought this was important. Jesse Duplantis, well known for his health and wealth heresies, is asking for a new private jet. I wonder how this would work if I started up a "ministry" claiming God would bless people if they sent me money. URGH.

    The man with the rubber face.

    He always crept me out when I was switching channels late at night, and he came on.

    (creeped me out?)

      Jesse Duplantis, a 68-year-old prosperity gospel preacher, says a new Dassault Falcon 7X would allow him to spread his teachings more effectively.

      “Now some people believe that preachers shouldn’t have jets. I really believe that preachers ought to go on every available voice, every available outlet, to get this gospel preached to the world,” Duplantis said in a video posted online last week, according to The Christian Post.

      It wouldn’t be the first jet Duplantis has owned. In the video, Duplantis looked over a wall full of photos showing his other private planes and said they have helped him preach the word of God. “You know I’ve owned three different jets in my life and used them and used them and just burning them up for the Lord,” he said.

      Duplantis reportedly lives in a 35,000-square-foot plantation home built in the late ’00s at a cost of $3 million. His net worth has been estimated at $50 million.

      Born and raised in New Orleans, Duplantis performed in the 1970s under the stage name Jerry Jaxon with the rock band Summer Wine. “I drank a fifth of whisky a day, smoked a little dope a week, snorted cocaine, PCP, crystal meth, took trips and never left my house,” Duplantis said in one interview.


      Maybe that last sentence explains why he believes he deserves a jet!

        He's a wolf. A false prophet, and a snake oil salesman all rolled into one! Why anyone gives him anything is beyond me. But, those TV preachers roll in the money. I knew a guy (he's dead now) who worked for Robert Tilton when he went national. He claimed that Babblin' Bob's ministry brought in over $10 million a month...This was in the early to mid eighties. Sad...

          I'd forgotten all about him!

            Perhaps he saw how Creflo Dollar bilked his flock for $65-70 million for a new jet after his private Gulfstream III ran off the runway and was slightly damaged and figures he wants in on that action.

            I'm always still in trouble again

                Kenneth Copeland's done the same thing recently.

                They are all false prophets and are leading millions astray.

                      Why would you want to be a billionaire when you could be a millionaire?

That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
