He is such a ripoff artist. How much did he rip off the US in PPP money?

I heard something about his "Church" receiving over $2,000,000.00. Now last year, when Texas was freezing Osteen held off opening his "Church" for keeping people warm. Nor has he lifted a finger help people in poverty.carmenjonze wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 1:11 am He is such a ripoff artist. How much did he rip off the US in PPP money?
Osteen is an out and out Con Man. He knows he has a good hustle. Prosperity Religion is an oxymoron.

4.4 million in loans they are allegedly paying back. The true father of these scam churches is Rex Humbard whose church in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio showed the others how to start out to do good and wind up doing quite well

His church had a buffet on church property that was open on Sunday and had many volunteers from the church working it for frer

There is nothing Christ like about con men who live in and own multiple massive mansions stocked with swimming pools, fancy cars and jets, who prey off common folk to steal their hard earned money, brainwashing them with politics while not having to pay any taxes. It’s one big obvious grift.

Osteen is responsible for his own actions. Hubbard is just as much a Con Man as Osteen, but in this case Osteen is the one running Con.Glennfs wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:44 am https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasre ... -ppp-loan/

Of course they don't. They're grifters. And they push money and politics for your party.

Religion has always been a Con. Nothing more and nothing less. Osteen uses that Con and makes millions.

Q-Publicans love these Cons. All that money, tax free and Cons can get all they want.

Don't know if Osteen had anything to do with this but it sounds like someone to had assess to the funds probably put the money there. According to the link, there was cash and checks found. If Osteen was involved I'm sure those checks would have been cashed instead of being hidden.marindem01 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 11:06 am HOUSTON (AP) — For more than seven years, no one has known what happened to $600,000 in checks and cash that was stolen from a safe at Pastor Joel Osteen’s Houston megachurch, which has one of the largest congregations in the country.

Every good Con Man has a stash. This was Osteen's

I doubt it Marindem. That stash contained 200,000 in cash and 400,000 in uncashed checks which undoubtedly have aged so much by now that they can never be cashed.
If Osteen had stashed that he would have cased those checks first, and then have stanched 600,000 in cash. I would say that detail rules him out from any suspicion that it was him who did it.
Whoever did it wanted to deny the church from having that money without getting caught themself.

Perfect example why when a con brings up that cons donate a lot of money to charity, they really dont. They donate to CHURCHES most of which are cons like this one. Sure, some of them donate to actual needs based entities, but most give money to hucksters.Drak wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:54 am There is nothing Christ like about con men who live in and own multiple massive mansions stocked with swimming pools, fancy cars and jets, who prey off common folk to steal their hard earned money, brainwashing them with politics while not having to pay any taxes.

I sigh in your general direction.
Re: $600,00 Found Joel Osteen's Bathroom Walled Tied To 2014 Mega Church Theft.
I'm not defending Sam but it doesn't make sense for Osteen to do this. The reason, as I stated earlier, is the uncashed checks. The checks totaled $400,000 and the cash was $200,000. If Osteen and the other television preachers main concern is money then why wouldn't Osteen cash the $400,000 checks and then have $600,000 to hide? Okay, so maybe there wasn't enough room behind the toilet wall but he'd still be able to cash and deposit the checks in his church's bank account.marindem01 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 7:54 pm I do not believe for a single second that Osteen did not know about that money.
I'm still thinking it has to be someone who had direct contact with the collection/accounting of the money. It's like the Las Vegas Mafia movies where the casino is skimming money before declaring how much they took in.
Like I said earlier, I don't trust Osteen.

Joel Osteen weighs in on Obama
"Osteen says he thinks Obama is 'great.'" Mega-preacher and best-selling author Joel Osteen is putting his faith in Barack Obama.
https://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2 ... -on-obama/
Asked his thoughts on the president-elect, Osteen said, “I think he’s great.”
“I think he's going to be a great president. He seems brilliant to me and just, I believe God puts the right people in office, so we're praying for him and just believing that God will give him wisdom and strength,” Osteen said on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
Osteen is the senior pastor for Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. The church is one of the largest and fastest growing in the United States. Shortly before the presidential election, Osteen told CNN he doesn’t think it is right to preach politics from the pulpit.
“You know, people have different views, and they're just as passionate. They love God just as much. And so, I would just encourage … just get out there and vote. But we don't feel like it's our place to tell people how to vote. Just search their own heart,” he said.
Re: $600,00 Found Joel Osteen's Bathroom Walled Tied To 2014 Mega Church Theft.
The link is from 2008 and he thinks God put the right people in office so does that means he thinks God put Trump into office? Me, I think the voter put people into office and often times, like TFG, they were wrong.sam lefthand wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:25 pm Joel Osteen weighs in on Obama

None the less, I have a long memory for good and when someone does a good turn I remember it.
Defending him from mean speculation is righteous. One good turn deserves another.
