Admin	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 24 May, 2011 03:14 PM A little info on him for folks like me and Dennis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. He's pastor of a mega church in Dallas Texas, with over 30,000 members ( ranked 10th largest church in USA). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. According to Jakes, "this ministry is not about prosperity as much as economic empowerment. The fact that it can be done in my skin color". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. The ministry earns annually 21 million in donations alone. He has a staff of 250 that works like a well oiled corporate machine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. Best known for his ministry of empowerment to the poor (especially women) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Grammy award winner. Received Dove nominations for his Gospel Albums. Post Reply

Otherwise, why do you make false accusations in statements you cannot back up with evidence? Itsn't that somewhat off when you know nothing about a person or who his members and followers are?... I would say so... Post Reply

View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 24 May, 2011 08:59 PM The Dallas Observer goes on to report: �He says he is not embarrassed by this, even though his extravagant lifestyle has caused controversy in his hometown that will likely follow him to Dallas. His suits are tailored. He drives a brand new Mercedes. Both he and his wife Serita are routinely decked out in stunning jewelry. His West Virginia residence �two homes side by side �includes an indoor swimming pool and a bowling alley. These homes particularly caused the ire of the local folks. One paper wrote at length about the purchase and made much of their unusual features. A columnist dubbed Jakes �a huckster.�� (Kaylois Henry, �Bishop Jakes Is Ready. Are You?,� The Dallas Observer magazine, June 20-26, 1996, pg. 19 and 22) Post Reply

You can't assume nything based on your own imagination because you don't have any information to make such a statement. How big is your house? Is it bigger than most poor people's house? Your house may be bigger than mine, and my house may be bigger than your or the next fellow, so what your point? One thing bout Bishop made his own money to even build his church, and from all his work, and what's grand about it you nor anyone sent him a penny... and for all I know you too mught be poor Are you jealous or what? Sound like it to me and to the others reading this thread, because you have spent your time judging and condemning someone you know nothing about and making presumtuous comments and for what reason?... Rather silly and a sign of insecurity and jealousy isn't it?... and does Bishop care about what you say... I doubt it, and do I care about what you say about Bishop, not really, I'm just trying to help you guys see your foolsih ways so you can make changes,m and stop making fools out of yourself... And it is also a truth that with negative people who always find something to criticise or find fault, this is sometimes impossible to do, they can see everybody's faults but their own, and each time they open thier mouths everybody who hears or sees know that there are some inner problems, and can tell and know they are spiritually impotant by thier negative comments. And what is it profiting you, you don't know Bishop or anything about his ministry, and he doesn't know you and doesn't need one penny from you to keep his ministry work going... so what are your comments profiting you except to show others that you have more spiritual issues than what you would like for others to know. And it shows by your comments that there are some deeper inner issues going on inside ... What Have you done for God lately?... where are the houses you have built for the poor? ...how many poor people have you feed in the past two days, not to speak about this year...what have your talents produced that are known all over the world? Where is your latest movies or books that you have written and produced? How many children of all races have you helped go off to college? Show me your works, because I have already posted Bishop's work... Bishop's works speak for themsleves. And One thing is a sure deal, when a person has no works as God's servants, they always try to find comfort by tearing down the work of others, seeking to find comfort in their own sprit for being empty and unfruitful and void and having a lack of... And that's Bible And that's a wrap for me dealing for none sense... Post Reply

Many articles are written about him becasue many know where he came from when he was growing in the ministry, so if God blessed him for his hard work, what;s your ecuse? Every dime Bishop has made came from his own gifts and talents, movies and books and other busineses... where are your works? and newspaper articles for doing good? Jeslousy and ebvy are a sin as well... over and out of here!you ain't talikn bout nothing goin nowhere fast.. Post Reply

View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 24 May, 2011 11:08 PM I don't carte what he calls it he is a Prosperity, Word of Faith guru. His lifestyle is nothing like a true follower of Jesus would live. He's part of a religious movement that is all about getting rich at the expense of the poor. Of course, if none of you have ever ministered to the poor in the projects you wouldn't know the kind of devastation he and the other teachers of his sort brings to them by their twisted teachings. Of course it's possible that he gets it right now and then and there are things he teaches that are probably right on with the Word, but his roots are in poisoned water and his fruit is twisted and wrong. I recommend researching him and others like him at http://www.equip.org/ Thunder Post Reply
