Once you've watched all the way through (do it!), go to soundcloud for this wonderful, wonderful thing:

Robert Tilton *Dun-Dun-Dunnnnn* the farting preacher.

with his kids and they'd all make farting noises.

I wish there was a way to shut these scammers down, but as long as there are gullible and desperate people, glory gee to beezus.

Or perhaps GD: Primaries.


Y'know, now that the GOP is having debates.

Thanks. Saw this at another site but it's worth watching twice!

I called the IRS once to check on religious tax exemptions. Asked if there were any way to track what church income is really being used for, etc. Such as planes and cars as opposed to charity.

What an eye-opener. The IRS rep said: "No. Once a church is tax-exempt, it doesn't even have to file tax returns. Would you bother filing a tax return if you didn't have to?"

Well, no I wouldn't. But WT actual F? No oversight or accountability whatsoever for all that cash.

The televangelists tried to set up their own accountability board years ago, after the Bakker/Swaggart/Tilton debacles. But that's strictly voluntary and many of them just refused to participate. I remember one who refused was Creflo Dollar.

ETA - Tilton to the debacles. IIRC, he sparked a famous column by Chicago reporter Mike Royko. One of Royko's elderly readers wrote in that she had saved money for years to take a dream vacation. But she was feeling guilty and thought she might give the money to a televangelist. Royko's response was something like: "Go ahead and take your vacation. That's probably what the televangelist will do with your money anyway."

And Tilton would a joke if it weren't for fact that he bilks money out of so many people.

Wonder how much money he'll get.
