When you spend too much time on rollercoasters, you start thinking in strange ways. I ran across these things this morning- pondering the absurdity and irony.
Three prosperity churches are filing for bankruptcy and/or selling their facilities.
- Church Without Walls International in Tampa is facing foreclosure. Since the White’s divorce things have gone south of the border financially.
- Bishop Thomas Weeks II was removed from the Global Destiny Ministries property, owing more than $500k in back rent. How do you owe half a million dollars in rent??? This transpired in the midst of a service. Priceless. He also divorced his popular “preacher wife” Juanita Bynum.
- Cathedral at Chapel Hill, founded by the oft accused of adultery Bishop Earl Paulk, has put its unique gothic building up for sale. With the numerous sex scandals, and his son’s further departure from orthodox Christianity (3 cheers for universalism) have emptied the congregation. They have fallen into debt, and the building into disrepair.
Christian online dating service, eHarmony, is being forced to launch a site for homosexuals. The New Jersey Civil Rights division brought action against them based on a complaint. I’m not sure what I’d do if I were Neil Clark Warren. I might just say – too bad, how sad- and close up shop since it isn’t worth the headache, or the guilt of facilitating sin.
In the “it doesn’t fit, but hey” catagory- A 13 year-old boy was arrested for persistently passing gas in school in Stuart, FL. Was that a 911 call? Will we be hearing that absurd call on the TV? Actually, he also turned off other students’ computers. The “school resource officer” arrested the scofflaw.
