I'd rather let 2002 Bob Sanders get a 30 yard running start and tackle me while not wearing any pads or helmet.
Saw the commercial on tv and wondered if he was using the pandemic to scam folks out of money.
I doubt Billy is, but I'm pretty certain that's what Franklin is up to.
I have in the past and they were very helpful. Didn't ask me for a donation either.
TV ministers scamming people out of their money? When did this start happening?

The world's first television stations first started appearing in America in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
So, shortly thereafter.
I believe that the Justice Department has already had a little chat with Jim Bakker about some herbal oil he was hyping that juuuuuust miiiiiiight possssssibly be effective against the Corona virus.
Billy Graham was a good man. His son Franklin is not a good man.
Billy Graham said some not Christian things about others in the Oval Office to Richard Nixon. Franklin Graham proves the seed does not fall far from the tree.
Almost certainly yes.
As of April 2020, Franklin Graham has an estimated net worth of $12 million. Graham's main source of income is his evangelist career. As of 2014, he was the Samaritan's Purse's most paid employee. He earned around $622 million per year.
Why limit it to TV ministers? All ministers are scammers.
Did you even read what you were posting?
Do you really think someone who makes 622 million per year would have a net worth of just 12 million?
So.....he "scammed" it?
Might want to re-think.
This seems to be careening towards a spiritual/"religion" themed thread which, like political threads, is verboten.
This site is, historically, not at its best in such discussions.
You would have to work hard to make that happen but I am willing to give it a go.
Ah, now I see. I guess we can't trust google, since I copied and pasted that.
Maybe, maybe not.
"Billy Graham was a red-baiting, fear-mongering, anti-semitic, homophobic nationalist, corporatist, crony capitalist and war-monger. He was a friend to overt racists and an ally to wealthy corporatists. He used his massive religious platform to play kingmaker, was one of the architects of the Nixon presidency, and is a patriarch of Evangelicalism and the Religious Right."
So, you didn’t read what you were posting, exactly as Legend asked.
Agreed. There is an off topic forum to discuss these topics. Because you pay money does not give you the right to post potentially divisive off topic posts in the Lounge.

My dad was/is a minister. I think he was doing it wrong because we never got jack squat.
I'm going to kick his ass.
Worse. I read it again after he mentioned it and still didn't catch it.
Umm, I know quite a bit about Franklin...pretty sure much of these posts are not accurate. Not proof of anything but of interest, see what Samaritans Purse is up to in NYC at the moment. I would be proud to be a larger part of this endeavor. Agree, this should be on another forum.
