12/17/2003 Archived Entry: "Jan Crouch"

Flipping channels the other evening I happened to catch a glimpse of Jan Crouch. I quickly flipped back to see if what I saw was real.

It was. It was so real it was unreal.

And we thought Tammy Fay was bad. Wow!

This kind of thing is an embarrassment to me as a Christian.

I know Paul (Saint, not Crouch) said was a fool for Christ's sake, but apparently Jan Crouch has taken that to be normative.

Do people send the Crouches money?

Jan could use a makeover. D'ya think she'd be up for a stint on "Queer Eye for the Straight Televangelist's Wife"? :)

Large amounts of it. It should be noted that TBN is not a member of the Evangelical Counsel for Financial Accountability.

The Crouches are crooks. They bilk their dumb flock to the tunes of millions, and live in a lavish house. She has had extensive cosmetic surgery and her hair looks like cotton candy. What charlatans.

THEY TELL ME THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS A PRETTY ODD LOOKING FELLOW. YET HE WAS USED OF GOD. JAN CROUCH MAY LOOK OUTSIDE WHAT MOST CALL THE "NORMAL" BOX, BUT WHY DON'T SOME OF YOU "NORMAL" LOOKING FOLKS TELL US SOME OF THE MIGHTY WORKS OF GOD THAT HAVE BEEN WROUGHT IN YOUR LIVES. HAVE THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS HEARD THE GOSPEL THROUGH YOU? THANKS!

The main problem with TBN is the UNEVEN guest list. They have deep-thinking evangelists on, with the true gospel. Then at the other extreme they have idiots: the silly or superficial. Do they lack discernment? Apparently so.

I am also worried about the heavy metal supposedly-"Christian" music. They apparently want to compromise-into-popularity, a non-Christian stance. We are to be IN the world, not OF it. What does China and the Middle East (now with satellites) think of this Western crap-called-music? They will naturally see it as purely Satanic, not of God. The Crouches are OF THE WORLD, and I fear doctrines of demons. Making that kind of money has made them arrogant--any objection to their LOOSE OR MADE-UP DOCTRINES they resent and hate as what they call "heresy hunters".

Please revisit this , watch TBN , watch it as if Jesus Christ were in the room with you. You would probably reconsider!

Jan Crouch is entitled to a personality as a woman of God. A tree is known by its fruits and their ministry speaks for itself, it is responsible for millions of souls that turn to Christ daily. It is not surprising for unsaved people to be critical, but for so-called Christians to represent the Name of Christ by judging and putting down His workers it is abominable. As one said before me, before you look to criticize, look at what your Christian walk has yielded, then I am certain you will have nothing to say about the Blessed, Growing, ministry of Paul and Jan Crouch.

For all of those so-called Jan & Paul Crouch believer's I suggest you go to this site and read about your Pagan Saints

We are told in the scriptures to be fruit inspector's. The fruit is based on the lifestyle not just the good works done by individuals. Even the unsaved can and do perform good works. How does the lavish lifestyle evident in the lives of the Crouch's reflect Christ's teachings? Jesus had more to say about money than any other subject and it is 90% in the negatative. Money is a root of all kinds of evil. In November of 2003 there was an article in the LA Times about Paul and Jan SUEING their neighbors to the tune of thousands of dollars because the neighbors had trimmed the fiscus trees on the border of the property between them. Wonder what these neighbors think of christians now? Just a thought!

JAN IS GOD'S REPLACEMENT FOR TAMMY BAKER. WHEN ADAM BLOW IT GOD SENT JESUS. HE NEVER CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT HIS PLANS. JAN IS THE WAY SHE IS BY GOD DESIGN. SHE REPRESENTS GOD'S 100 FOLD RUNNERS OF THE GOSPEL. GOD WILL LOSE NOTHING! HE WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHING AND TBN PAUL & JAN IS GOD'S WAY OF ALSO GETTING HIS 100 FOLD BLESSINGS WHERE PTL FAILED.
