They're always asking for money.. . . and where does the money go? All you have to do is look at their lifestyles and you will have your answer.

I remember the Jimmy Swaggart "I have sinned" speech - he got caught with his pant down (literally) and his display was so ridiculously phony especially considering he was involved in another sex scandal something like three years later.

My husband use to travel on business on occasion - I would out of boredom watch some of these late night preachers when the kids were tucked in bed. They prey on the vulnerable, the desperate. Investigative journalists caught them hiring people to fake illness and pretend miraculous cures in the name of deceiving viewers and audience members for donations to do "God's work".

They are despicable.
