  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I read recently that Kenneth Copeland is in some deep doo-doo over the whereabouts of the funding that is sent to him and of his personal involvement over his participation in praying for those who contribute financially and he has admitted that those responsibilities are handled by the staff and not himself personally. Just don't forget to remove the check.

He states that he has a program he calls "Jesus Galactica" where he is now using a satellite that enables him to minister to the aliens.

He remarked that he is wanting to fly his largest contributors in the sky in his twenty million dollar jet (I think it is actually fifty million dollars) so that they can get a personal glimpse at the satellite for themselves.

Any comments concerning such a ridiculous approach to evangelism are well received. I heard of going into all the world, but this is turning into a circus and turning the offerings of God's people into a fairy tale for little chidren. He should write a book about it and call it " E.T. My brother in the Lord."

I'm so embarrassed to have once given in to the faith camps and the things they come up with to finance their wealthy lives. What a circus of clowns and they are worth millions.

You once gave to him? Was a like, a million bucks or fifty dollars? Did the Holy Spirit lead you to give or peer pressure? If the former, why would you be embarrassed?

Also, If I am worth millions, would I be a clown because of it, or is being a clown largely irrelevant to whether or not I was a millionaire?

Which begs the question, in your opinion, how much should the Copelands be worth that would be acceptable to you?

(BTW, I'm not even WOF, so my post isn't about any WOF bashing.)

Isn't Kenneth Copeland a 33 degree freemason??? That may explain things!

I've heard that too, however a good friend of mine worked for him at one time.
He was one of his first 12 staffers and worked for him for 8 years.
When I asked him about it he told me it wasn't true.
He left KCM in the early 80s, so unless he joined after that he isn't a lodge guy.

More gossip.


Uh Ben am I not mistaken. But the moratorium is still in effect. And this thread goes against it?
I think it may cross the line in Pinetree's post. Other that that it is pretty tongue in cheek and not about doctrine.
