Pat Robertson and CBN[WOF ONLY!]

What do you think of CBN and Pat Robertson?

I remember in my old school a few people didn't like him I think mainly for his politics, and the fact that he claims to have the gift of word of kowledge, which they use quite frequently...

Which, IMO, makes them cowards...I think it would be MUCH better to assassanate a dictator than to send in a full scale invasion.

Good grief.

BTW, it was around the time he said that[which many took him to mean that he was calling for assassanation].

They use to have my phone number and they would call and ask all these questions about abortion that I would obviously agree with. Questions like "is abortion wrong". Once I said yes to the questions, then they would ask for a donation and say, oh, by the way, it is not tax deductible. Something about that never felt right to me. Maybe it wasn't a ministry I was supposed to give to.

Otherwise, I really don't know much about them because I don't watch them.

Maybe because you are already a member?

I like Pat Robertson and the 700 Club - I find myself in agreement with him much of the time regarding politics and otherwise.

I like Pat.

I really like Pat.

I think people should give him a break. He's like 120 years old and looks amazing.!

Sometimes he says a few things that aren't exactly "on-point" but give him a break.

Props and congratulations to him for being a scandal free, respectable minister of the Gospel for over 45 years.

No affairs.

No mishandling of funds.

Just the Gospel! Every day. For 45 years.

And relief efforts. Praise God.

He is running his race well! And he still has a ways to go! Maybe 35 years. =)

And that black girl on that show is pretty funny. And Terry Meuwson is unshakably lovable.

Did we almost forget? 700 Club just as a TV show is really good too.

Talk about a classy, high-quality production.

I have a lot of respect for Pat Robertson and really enjoy the 700 Club. I've watched him, on and off, since the late 1970's, early 1980's when our babysitter refused to let us watch cartoons in the afternoon so she could watch the 700 Club!!

What is interesting to me, though, is that if you listen to Pat for long enough, he is more or less WoF to some extent. But I never hear him called a heretic or anything of that nature. I appreciate his boldness in broadcasting daily segments where they operate in the word of knowledge and pray for healing. I also appreciate that he openly confesses that he speaks in tongues.

I don't watch Pat much at all but I agree with his statement, "...to assassanate a dictator than to send in a full scale invasion."

If you recall, the late great Ronald Regan sent our war planes to try to kill Omar Kadafi. We missed him, but did kill members of his family. Omar has been real quiet since then. I would much rather have the U.S. kill an Omar or a Hugo Chavez than to sacrifice our guys if we don't have to. I always thought that Pat shouldn't have back peddled from his statement.
