Televangelist who needs $54 mil for private jet clears up misconceptions...

[LesClaypool]

The original story about him "needing" a $54,000,000 private jet has been around for the better part of a week, but this is an updated story with quotes from him since the story broke...

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/televange...ll-donate-090704831--abc-news-topstories.html

"There was a misnomer on that one. I said I've had three jets, I don't have three jets," he said in an interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America" on Wednesday. "Two of them now are in other ministries. I only own one airplane now."

[You only own one private jet?! Make sure you don't bring that poverty to the LR, Jesse!]

Glad he cleared that up. I was worried he was a money-grubbing huckster preying on people in the name of the Lord!

Shouldn't he take greyhound and spread the word to the people? Heck, fly coach.

Wonder what his mansion looks like?

How would the people of Saint Tropez, Seychelles, or Bali ever hear the good word then?

Wonder what his mansion looks like?

According to the St. Charles Herald, Duplantis’ home is a combined 35,000 square feet. That includes 22,039 square feet of living space 12,947 square feet of outdoor patios, garages and other amenities.

Looks tacky as hell to me. More like commercial real estate than a home, but I suppose a hard-working guy like that gets to spend his money however he sees fit.

The moderator asleep again? Surprised this isn't locked.
Can we talk about Roseanne and the Samantha Bee lady?

We're not talking about religion.

We're talking about a guy fleecing people. BIG difference.

And why you trying to get my thread locked!? Why I oughtta...

 

[Random_John]

The part that gets me is that he said Jesus asked him to get a new plane. Do you think Jesus sent that in a traceable email?

Damn that's even bigger than I imagined. This guy deserves a special place in hell, if it exists.

Plenty of room to turn people away in the event of a biblical flood...

Perfect example of a poor trying to look rich. What kind of scrub has street signs and utility poles visible from the main house. Oh yeah, and visible drainage ditches on the property.

I’m sure he has a burner phone for such contacts.

I love her.

When I was back in seminary school there was a person there who put for the proposition that you can petition the Lord with prayer.

Petition the Lord with prayer.

Petition the Lord with prayer.

YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYYYYYER!

You know, I have a real job. Can't pay the bills with the $0.00 I get from this gig.
