    Nobody else recognized by the city?

    Kudos to the Lakewood public affairs team for wrangling a news story about them on the anniversary. The coverage should convert to some good will, good will to new visitors, visitors to tithes and book sales (and glory to God of course).

    And the Lord did sayeth unto them: wait until thy neighbor asks for help.

    We should build him one of those giant statues like Sam Houston on 59.

    It's a hard sell to me. He only profits from his book sales. All monies to the church stay with the church.

    Really not sure why anyone hates him.

    They had the nerve to pass around the collection plate during Harvey. GTFO.

    Of course that money stays with the church. So does the mega mansion, the church private plane, the black card church traveling expense account, the high profile company church vehicles, the 5* dinners he eats and so on and so on. Thank you church community for your TAX FREE 10%.

    Does anyone else think Cumberthatch and Osteen could pass for one another?

    I'm now a believer. His gospel of wishful thinking leading to prosperity has certainly come true.

    He's shameful but also kinda my hero. To be such a scammer and yet be praised for it is impressive.

    Maybe he and Trump could team up and get a Spiritual Force military branch?

    Bible Lite.

    Well, his first date with Victoria (the wife) was a Rockets game. After that, I don't much cotton to making mega-millions pushing Jesus.

    I do a pretty good impression of him, anyway. Gets some laughs.
