It is not by grace that one enters the kingdom of heaven, but by tithing. – Damazio 3:16

It’s a crying shame that when these guys are about to approach the pulpit to preach the Word of God to the people of God that they can be so jovial, casual and lighthearted. Let’s hope the content of their preaching didn’t follow the preparation of their preaching.
So, that sounds so much like some kind of money laundering scheme—passing money back and forth. What happens if the courier changes his mind and runs away with the cash?????
Bishop???
It’s been clear to me for years that Benny was obsessed with money, but this is beyond my ability to satirize. You can’t make this stuff up.
We feel like sending them a letter -
Dear Boys,
Thank you for this insightful behind the scenes documentary.
We always wondered what went on in that office back there.
Now we know. If you need any other tips on laundering money or planting seeds you can fly to ORU and have them show you how to cook the books.
We heard they are starting a class on it next term; Funneling of Money and How your Church Can Reach its Destiny! It may be taught by Trent Huddleston, ex-ORU accountant if the lawsuit on cooking the books is complete.
Don’t worry though, there are many wolves, we mean preachers who can show you how. Maybe you don’t have anything left to learn.
Wow -you really put one over on the sheep with this video! We love how you used humor to tell them outright what you have been doing all these years. Now that was funny.

P.S.. Jeff Skillings from Enron will also be offering classes on line at a Masters Degree Level. We believe its on his prison website in case you two are interested.
Are they out of their minds putting this out on the internet? Why does it remind me of Herman Goering and co -horts having a laugh before going out to the stadium for a torch light parade.
This should play well on I.R.S. T.V.
Ok, I thought they were kidding about the Bishop thing – but they are serious aren’t they? Did Benny get his title the same way Wendeel got his?
And the giving back and forth to each other thing? Who were we mentioning awhile back who does that? I wonder if they ever even think about giving to someone, a ministry, who would never have the means to give it back? Like to an orphanage in India or struggling churches in Romania; or how about a non-mfi church in the inner city (not the recent pearl district satellite upstart either!)
Watch and learn guys. It wouldn’t take Frank long to market his books in there, based on his ability to sell sell sell before the offering sermons…………………
Odd, how Pastor Frank still doesn’t quite understand the concept of Youtube and the internet. He thought that the video was just something private movie for Bennys’ church.
And secondly, Frank sounded a little desperate there. I’m guessing things aren’t going terribly well for him, financially.
“UFC baby, UFC” ? Does he really watch that stuff? From the laughter, maybe he isn’t the only one…..? In Roman times, I guess he would have been at the staduim cheering on the gladiators, giving the ‘thumbs down’ signal. Maybe he would like to see lions tearing people to shreds?
I hope they are proud of themselves, pulling half a million out of the sheep right before Christmas. Sick.
I don’t know about PF, but Doug and his “people” are way into it (or at least they were a little over a year ago, the last time I was around a large group of them).
Galatians 5:22, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, longsuffering, GENTELNESS, goodness, faith”
I’m not sure where the UFC fits in there.
It’s odd how when it comes to entertainment, violence is acceptable at City Bible, but sex, not so much. That said, I do enjoy UFC.
Man these guys are looking old. I’ve been a little out of touch with the brainwashing scene since 2003 or so and haven’t see much footage of the old king and his pawns. They are all going bald and gaining weight. Guess that’s the result of so many years living off the fattened calf. One thing I still don’t get…do they all have to wear the same style glasses?
