Jan Crouch Sponsors "Christian Liposuction" Seminar

On Tuesday, December 28, on TBN's Behind the Scenes program, Jan Crouch gave a guided tour of the conference room at their new facility in Costa Mesa, California. The room was full of banquet tables and chairs and decorated with red velvet curtains consistent with the decor of all TBN's facilities.

Mrs. Crouch used the time to promote the seminars available to all TBN partners in Southern California, at a cost. The one coming up, said Jan, was a seminar on liposuction given by her own cosmetic surgeon.

It's a mystery to me how the church as a whole can tolerate such worldliness and outright evil use of "ministry" funds. But the Crouches are free to express their individual deviant interests at the expense of the donations of their supporters since no one dares question them for fear of losing access to the "Christian" airwaves that TBN dominates.

That particular Behind-the-Scenes program ended with a tape of a performer singing on their grand ole opry stage in Tennessee. This stage is one of the most decadent looking one in TBN's repertoire. It is decked out with golden lions on either side of the stage and various Babylonish decor. The artist highlighted was none other than Sandy Patty. Now that she dumped her husband for another man, the Evangelical world is no longer supportive of her. But no problem, TBN picked her right up. TBN has a history of giving scandalized Christian leaders a platform, no doubt so that they will have more defenders when their own dirty laundry is unveiled.

TBN is a disgrace to the cause of Christ and all those who support them and give them credibility are co-conspirators and should be openly rebuked.

More to come . . .
