Televangelist Paula White Included In Federal Probe

[Sphere]

A senate investigation launched Tuesday is targeting a well-known televangelist who recently moved to San Antonio. Paula White's one of several TV preachers accused of taking church money and spending it on their own lavish lifestyles. White and her ex-husband ran a TV church out of Florida.

Now, she's at the Family Praise Center on San Antonio's Northwest side, and she just bought a $680,000 home outside Boerne. That is one thing the senate committee wants to know about, along with White's own financial records and that of the TV church in Florida.

Wow. The corruption among our supposed "men and women of God" is absolutely ridiculous. This is one reason why I almost never watch televangelists on tv. Probably at least half of them are corrupt.

They're not "men and women of God". If you look at the list of people being investigated, every one of them teaches heresy and at least one of them (Paula White) has made her sin, as well as her refusal to repent, very public.

And the government is investigating why? Taxes. They feel cheated that they weren't included in these criminals profits. Damn them all.

Ummm, I put "men and women of God" in quotes for a reason.

That sure must be the $6bn thought on many folks' minds right now & I see that, since I began a thread that linked all 5/6 under investigation - http://foru.ms/t6398183-televangelists-face-intense-federal-probe.html - @ least 2/3 threads @ individuals have begun

As OP here does mention all of 'em, this reply, with its links to related stories, is apt:-

CBNNews.com - Some of the televangelists being investigated by the U.S. Senate for their lavish lifestyles and use of tax-exempt donations are speaking out about the allegations against them.

Watch for more on ministires and money from Kenneth Behr, president of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.


Bishop Eddie Long defended his Georgia church Sunday in a sermon, calling the government's demands, "an attack on our religious freedom and privacy rights."

The Rev. Creflo Dollar justified his income and Rolls Royce by claiming his lifestyle does not come out of the church's bank account.

"We want to be as responsible as we possibly can so that there's never a question to our partners and members concerning what's happening with the money," he said.

The Senate finance committee has requested in-depth financial records from a total of six-well known ministries. Those being investigated also include Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer and Randy and Paula White.
