Paul Crouch, whom some of you may know as the co-founder of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, alongside his wife Jan Crouch, died today at the age of 79, from chronic heart trouble. Full ABC LA Article I grew up watching him on television, being raised in an Evangelical Christian home. We would watch "Praise the Lord," Benny Hinn, John Hagee, R.W. Shambach, and so many other preachers as they sat with Paul and Jan, and talked about their respective ministries. Paul got into trouble, recently, in a number of scandals involving the vast fortune they had amasses through various charitable donations, among other things. For all of their faults, though, the Trinity Broadcasting Network did have itself involved in a number of good works, including toy drives, food donations for the poor, and so on. Whether you like him or not, respect him or not, Paul Crouch has been highly influential in the Evangelical Christian community for the past 30+ years. My respects go out to his wife and children. Comments welcome.
Notice how these supposedly pius men always manage to make themselves filth rich off of church donations? They've fraudsters and this is nothing but their chosen con.
My mom and Grandma sent them god knows how many dollars. I met them once at a megachurch here in town, When the cameras were off they were horrible people..
One of my ex-girlfriends worked for them before we dated. It didn't take her too long be disillusioned with them. She said all they cared about was the money, and they made no effort to hide that when they were away from the public.
TBN did more damage to the cause of the Gospel than anything else I can name. Crouch will have much to answer for at the judgment.
Interestingly enough, the guy who voiced the Mad Hatter was on the second episode of the original Twilight Zone.
