Are you a TBN partner? I'll bet you didn't know this:

According to Ministry Watch (Donor Alert March 12, 2004) the TBN coffers are overflowing with cash!

TBN is currently sitting on about $280 million in cash and investments. That's not total assets folks. Thats liquid.

This does not include all the property owned by TBN, things like their broadcast studios, the Nashville music center, the ranch in Southlake Texas, production facilities, satellite transmission facilities, no this is pure liquid assets.

How is it that a "non-profit" organization has this kind of cash stockpile?

Ministry Watch has also determined that for the last five years, the non-profit organization called TBN has earned approximately $285 million dollars in profit!

Want some more?

In addition, Ministry Watch has found that Paul and Jan Crouch paid themselves a combined salary of $764,700 in 2002 (the latest year for which such numbers are available)

Are you a TBN partner?

Well let me ask you something. If you're a "partner" why aren't you receiving a quarterly dividend check on that $280 million. I mean if they aren't going to use that money for preaching the Gospel shouldn't they at least pay you interest on your "love gift"? That money you gave is sitting there earning them profits and interest, if your a "partner" why shouldn't you share in their great good fortune?

Did you know that in the book of Acts, when the people sold their possessions and laid them at the Apostles feet, the Apostles then made distribution unto every man according as he had need! They didn't heap it up for themselves like Paul Crouch is doing

Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me. Acts 4:34.

Do you have a need. Why don't you ask Paul Crouch to distribute some of that $280 million back to you to meet your need.

Let me know what he says!

And while your doing that, think about this article from the L.A. Times

TBN Televangelists Buy $5,000,000 Home
LOS ANGELES TIMES, Nov.4,2001, page K15

Televangelists JAN and PAUL CROUCH of the Costa Mesa-based Trinity Broadcasting Network have purchased a Newport Beach house for close to $5 million, Orange County Realtors say.

The home was described as "a palatial estate with ocean and city views." The Crouches had been living in a smaller house in the same neighborhood.

The house they bought has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a billiard room, a climate-controlled wine cellar, a sweeping staircase and a crystal chandelier.

The three-story, nearly 9,500-square-foot house, which has an elevator, also has a six-car garage, a tennis court and a pool with a fountain.

The house is on slightly more than an acre. Jan Crouch had been wanting a bigger yard for her dogs, sources said.
Trinity Broadcasting, established in 1973, has more than 768 TV stations on the air worldwide. The Crouches oversee a $100-million-plus-a-year enterprise. Even so, faithful viewers are said to consider the couple, who are in their 60s and have been married since the 50's, as everyday folk.


Do you still think TBN is a good place to "sow your seed"?

Want to know what God thinks? Well, I'm going to show you whether you want to know or not.

Proverbs 22:16
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

Aren't you giving to the rich when you give to TBN?

Gods word is true. Paul and Jan Crouch will surely come to want and so will you if you continue to support this kind of ungodly profiteering!

I urge you today by the Spirit of God to repent! Turn from this ungodly action.

Give your money to the poor like Jesus said to do.

Math 6:1-4
Luke 11:41
Luke 12:33

Find a homeless shelter or soup kitchen or battered womens shelter in your local area and re-direct your giving to them.

Quit supporting these ravenous wolves who make merchandise of you!

2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
