		The church should be shocked by the televangelists' blatant parade of pagan ideas and their "gimme gospel of greed." The church should be ashamed for allowing a $2.5 billion business to prey on the elderly, the poor and the desperate and do it in the name of God.
		We discovered that many of them had given their last dollars to one of the "word-faith" televangelists, betting on a spiritual roll of the dice to get them one last break.
		The lives and messages of the televangelists reveal a progressively straying path toward paganism.

	Televangelism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the USA, a televangelist (television evangelist) is a religious minister (often a Christian priest or minister) who devotes a large portion of his (or her) ministry to TV broadcasts to a regular viewing and listening audience.
		A number of televangelists are also regular pastors or ministers in their own halls of worship, but the majority of their followers come from their TV and radio audiences.
		Some televangelists have been at the center of considerable controversy, as their ministries believe in the charismatic doctrine of divine healing.

		Some televangelists have been at the center of considerable controversy, as their methods and ministries have engaged in faith healing.
		In the 1970s and 1980s, the rise of evangelical Protestant sects created superstars among televangelists, with their own media empires, news exposure, and political influence.
		Most of these televangelists have continued preaching, nonetheless, even though their audiences may be barely a fraction of what they were at the height of their popularity.

	ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT TELEVANGELISTS
		Today, while the secular media is no longer as interested in televangelists and both Roberts and the Bakkers have retreated into relative obscurity, other personalities have emerged to take their place, and less spectacular excesses and abuses continue.
		It is, of course, impossible to predict when the media will expose a televangelist or when a televangelist will raise eyebrows with his or her ostentatious behavior.
		Televangelists, like prominent athletes and celebrities, are often held to a higher standard by viewers and fans, but they are no less susceptible to temptation and sin than anyone else (Rom.

	God doesn't need Ole Anthony
		Its doctrinal fine points vary from one televangelist to another (the pastor Benny Hinn, for instance, has said that each member of the Holy Trinity is himself a triune being—"That means there are nine of them!"), but its central message is fairly consistent: Poverty is just a matter of bad faith and negative thinking.
		The televangelists call me a garbologist, and to do garbology correctly is an art." Sifting through the pizza scraps, crumpled invoices, and coffee-stained spreadsheets, they slowly pieced together Tilton's "Wheel of Fortune," as Anthony later called it.
		If a televangelist declared, on the air, that he had cured a donor's cancer or tripled his bank account, that claim would have to be verifiable.

		Whether the televangelists will be able to sustain their marvelous gospel spreading machines in the face of this much competition remains to be seen.
		The propensity of the televangelists to equate their dreams to God's will, and their childlike trust that the almighty will deliver the bucks to pay for their projects, no matter how ambitious, portends a disastrous conclusion someday.
		The televangelists and their local organizers could expect to receive a good bit of criticism for "robbing'' the pews of other churches, but member "snatching" has been going on for a long time among proselytizing evangelicals.

	Televangelists cheat whom?
		Televangelists have made millions by using the name of Jesus to market phony products and promises.
		It has been suggested that the ability of slimy televangelists to prosper is evidence of the ignorance of the typical Christian.
		This can not only lead to the big mistakes of falling for cult leaders and charlatan televangelists, it could also lead to the more subtle and common mistakes of taking the advice of sincere but uninformed friends, or joining a church whose doctrines have strayed from the window of proper biblical interpretation.

		In short, the greater the audience size of the religious right televangelists, the greater the perceived threat and, hence, the greater the urgency to support countermovement organizations like PAW that had been formed to do battle with the New Christian Right.
		Part of the source of the confusion over audience size lies in the fact that measuring a television audience is not as simple and direct a task as counting how many people attend church services in a local congregation or how many people go through a turn-stile at a football game.
		The audiences are not as huge as some of the televangelists and their supporters were maintaining prior to the introduction of Nielsen and Arbitron.

	SoMA Review - In Defense of Ole - John D. Spalding
		Buchanan defended the televangelists by citing their mass appeal: “…140 million, I believe, listen once a month to televangelists…and they certainly get something out of it.
		It seems that even if the Scarborough posse believed that televangelists are motivated by greed, they’d rather ignore their shenanigans than expose them because it might somehow make all religion look bad.
		But their real interest in giving the televangelists a free pass is more likely to shield the Christian right from scrutiny, and from perhaps losing its hold on American politics and culture.

	Televangelists :: Televangelist Paul Crouch Attempts to Keep Accuser Quiet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		Televangelist Paul Crouch, founder of the world's largest Christian broadcasting network, has waged a fierce legal battle to prevent a former employee from publicizing allegations that he and Crouch had a sexual encounter eight years ago.
		At stake are the public image of one of the world's most successful televangelists and, potentially, the fortunes of the broadcasting empire that Crouch and his wife, Jan, built over the last 31 years.
		Paul Crouch Jr., a TBN executive and the televangelist's oldest son, said that despite the favorable ruling, he wished his father had never entered into the settlement with Ford.

		I was just watching a televangelist on TV, and I went through some thought processes I wanted to get up on screen.
		But, honestly, if watching Televangelists going at it is enough to shake your belief, you probably need to toughen up a little bit.
		If there is no spiritual or GOD (which often makes more sense to me then the traditional concept of "Grandfather God" in a white robe with long hair), then I am just another physical part of this valueless universe.

		The hijab is a fashion purchase and televangelists preach about personal success, self-awareness and getting rich.
		New religious players have appeared: charismatic preachers with a style similar to American televangelists; performing artists who have "re-Islamised" themselves; middle-class women who have set up as preachers and invented a new tradition, the Islamic salon, now a feature of middle-class life; musical preaching groups; and highly educated "independent" Islamists.
		Copying the style of the US televangelists, he was the first to bring a religious chat show to the Arab world - a formula quickly taken up by all who call themselves the "new preachers" (including Khalid al-Guindy, al-Habib Ali and Safwat Hegazy).

		Digging through televangelist W.V. Grant's trash, Trinity sleuths found photos of the pastor naked and published one in the centerfold of their satirical magazine, ''The Door.'' But the productivity of the trash runs has dropped dramatically in recent years as shredders and locked trash bins have become in vogue among televangelists.

		Unfortunately though, there are individuals who have made televangelist a four-letter word.

		The televangelists, who often side with the conservative advocacy groups, staunchly oppose the a la carte plan, because it would likely remove them from a good number of people's TV sets.
		They say it's so they can "preach to the unchurched", and some are attempting to pre-empt the issue by buying up local broadcast stations and forcing cable companies to relay them through must-carry regulations.

		Calling the deal "the rankest form of favoritism," a state appeals court reversed the sale of Orange County's PBS station to the KOCE Foundation, saying the Coast Community College District had agreed to the deal because it was determined not to sell KOCE-TV to televangelists.
		During negotiations, the trustees cut the price by $4 million, saying that was the amount the district would have to repay in grants and contributions if the station were sold to a non-PBS bidder.
		"To assert that a bid from televangelists made the very next day after bidding was closed for an extra $15 million in cash while letting a favored bidder off the hook for $4 million two months after the bidding was closed can only be described as the rankest sort of favoritism," the appeals court ruled.
