Why do people have to be jealous from others? First its the job of the attendantss to make sure
they do there job right (clean seats) I am not ashamed to say I have cleanned many dirty rooms, toliets and large homes and it is expected of me to do my job right…after all some one is paying good money to be assured that all is clean. Leave the Olsteens alone…if you do not get the message of God than dont bother to watch him on TV…it is up to ALL of us as christians to read the bible pray to God and ask for forgiveness from our own sins…stop judging others its not our place… .Glory to god in the Highest AMEN

First and foremost, yes the seat should have been clean. But, no doubt anyone who has worked at a job where cleaning is a necessity have missed things. But looking at the big picture, should she have acted the way she supposedly did?? Me personally, I would have politely asked it to be cleaned up, and even if the flight attendant refused, was it her job to ensure this in the first place?? Should she be blamed for an oversight on another party? If that being the case, Victoria, obviously acted inappropriately (excuse my spelling)I live in Houston and I have attended their services, I consider myself a good Christian, but did not get the full satisfaction from the sermon as I usually would from a less popular Church. With that said, I think that all should be treated equally regardless of 1st class, 2nd class or even 3rd class given the option. Yes we pay more for 1st but it does not give anyone the right to belittle those that are not as fortunate. She should face the same consequences as any one, for what she has done, if proven in a court of law, leaving her status quo behind and living up to her mistake…before the eyes of god we are all the same…what makes her any different????

Ok I find all of this very interesting. You have Joel who thinks he is God’s messenger to the world. And you have Victoria who stands there acting all bubbly. My mother bought the Cd’s Become A Better You. After she bought them she started playing them in the car. since then she never has taken them out. She is forcing us to listen to him speak. I mean don’t get me wrong it was ok to list to them the first couple times. That was almost 6 months ago. She has fallen on th bandwagon with this bull shit that the great Joel is preaching. I cant satnd it. The man is a scam artist. Just look at him. Now tell who in the world can smile like that all the time? Can someone answer that for me please. I want to know. What does he not ever get mad at anyone? I mean we should leave them alone about the law suit. But he is scamming all of you people who believe his world is the tell and know all. He is Just some guy trying to make a buck. Now when his father started the ministry he probably didn’t know that it would get this big. He probably thoughtit would be about average size. But not like this. Okay now if Joel and the Barbie doll wife of his flyed coach instead of first class all the time and lived in a normal community and thier kids went to public school and they lived like regular people then maybe I would believe that he was doing this for God. But he is only in it for the money. He talks about eating out all the time and flying first class all the time. Why does he think people want to hear about him and the fancy restaurants that he dines at. I don’t. Do you? I ask you this what was our lives like before the great Joel and the Barbie doll came around?

Just for ONCE I’d love to see those airy-fairy preachers and their pampered princess wives get squeezed in a coach seat on a nine-hour trip, sandwiched between a puking baby and an obese person who takes up half their seating space. Nowhere to stretch out when you’re tired, and it’s hell on your varicose veins when you’re taller than five-foot-four. Those rich preachers and their spoiled rotten wives make me SO sick! That selfish, snobbish, Jezebel will answer to God for the contempt she has shown toward poor working stiffs (Isa.3:15). The prophet Amos thunders against women like today’s skinny “fat cows of Bashan” are in for a rude awakening from God when their fairy tale comes to an ends. Instead of beauty there shall be the burning of God’s judgment and instead of sweet perfume a stink (Isa.3:16-26).

Jesus said. if you want to be a great in God’s Kindom, you need to be a servant of all, how can be true this verse to the life of Joel Osteen..Jesus said, brothers among brothers……we are all priest…..we dont need heroes like the pagan did in their religion….

We need to fight the Devil together with mighty in the Sharon Brown issue. Sharon Brown need support.She needs Jesus.I will be praying for her from today onwards.What is she aiming at by letting the Devil use her.
She will not benefit from tunishing the name of Mrs Osteen.
I am afraid the Devil is working hard day and night to fight Men and women of God so many go to perish with him.He does it in so many ways including the way of Sharon Brown.We need Jesus!We need Jesus!
May the pastor and his wife not listen to these people being used by the evil one. Continue the good work you are doing. I feed on God’s word using your messages every day. I am really blessed. Thank you for your good work. Marjorie,United Kingdom.

WHY IS IT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT HAS TO TRY TO DEGRADE SOMEONE ELSE? YOU ARE NOT TO JUDGE ANYONE. AND IF YOU ARE CALLING YOURSELF A FAITHFUL PERSON OF GOD, THEN I SUGGEST YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE YOU,WHICH THE WAY I SEE IT,THERE’S A STRIKE AGAINST YOU RIGHT THERE HUH?

I am not sure what happen, every story has 2 sides. I watch Joel every Sunday, it makes my week, and his joke always makes me laugh.
I came on here trying to get the 4 series of Hope but could not find it and this pops up.
I know the picture of her with her Eyes bugging out, talks of something not right.
But who are we to judge, we are not God. I have seen looks on her face when Joel is preaching at times and the camera catches it.
I have thought to myself, she has an attitude of being to good.
But I can’t judge her since I don’t know her. But I do hope that what happen on that plane takes care of itself, or maybe already has. If it did happen, I feel for Joel to have to go through what she did, it does not make good for him as a preacher.
I do have to watch him every Sunday, for the words he preaches, I thank God for them, they have touched my life in so many ways.

“Accept Jesus… or burn in Hell” Really?? Haven’t we evolved more than that????

Pride, Hubris, Ego, Dogma. All are merely words for Selfishness and describe the largely narcissistic attitude that, “I’m right so I get to go to heaven, but you’re wrong, so you’re not.” What kind of uninformed, isolated fool honestly still believes that they have been so blessed by either pure dumb-luck to have been born into; or circumstances to have been surrounded by; or mere fate to have blithely stumbled upon, “the only right way to salvation” – everyone else be damned. What small minded baboons still believe that there is only one way? Can’t you see how each sect even within “your way” amended its beliefs to appease the constituency of it’s time or leaders – or are you simply ignorant of its severe changes? Does it make you feel stronger, more powerful, more entitled or superior to feel your way to be the only way??? My guess is yes, probably, and there’s mountains of psychological and sociological evidence to support this phenomena – otherwise you’d have to share “the way” with another message, messenger, or form of greatness, and that would rock your smallness to its core (or the priests/kings who made the rules you blindly accept). Saying aloud, “I don’t know for certain… but I have strong intuitions and beliefs” makes you stronger, not weaker – and it certainly makes you a more loving individual.

If you want to see something which will not only build, reinforce, and justify your faith (no matter its source) watch the 12-hr series, “The Power of Myth” by wise sage and scholar to many a minister and professor, Joseph Campbell. You will realize what your intuitions have been telling you all along – that the duality, the duplicity, the metaphoric symbolism of the simultaneously beautiful and horrific (make God angry and he floods the earth kids and all) allegorical Bible tales, create a truthful-hypocrisy (love your enemy, but turn to salt for looking upon God??) which can split into 200+ sects within 2000 yrs of the Christian story alone.

C’mon folks. Get out of your rut – get over yourselves and your prejudices. Read more from sources and thinkers outside your current dogma. Not doing so is Slothful, Prideful, and Not even loving of your neighbor… and it’s just plain foolish. You may, in fact, be reinforced in your previously held views… but I highly doubt it. Expanding our little brains is a one-way trip, we will never return to exactly the same small town from which we departed but rather, we become acquainted with a grandness and mystery that we always knew was larger and more amazing that even those who came before us had been able to see.
