This is a bit OT SC...but NOT defending Victoria Osteen....I have a gut feeling she was set up. Those people saw $$$ signs when they saw her & husband boarding on the plane. Either the accusers are lying and are in cahoots with the witnesses...OR they set her up to SNAP. She & Joel in particular KNOW very, very well they MUST be on their best behavior at ALL times. They are international celebrities..and hopefully true character witnesses of the Lord. Again...I'm not defending them. I'm not a FAN of the Osteens either. I have watched Lakewood from time to time.

I was very, very disappointed with Joel's wimpy interview on Larry King a few years ago. In fact, disappointed is an understatement. I was LIVID!

Nonetheless, I'm too familiar with the tactics of the enemy. He's a thief..out to steal, kill and destroy...and he doesn't care how he does it.

The Chinese culture on the other hand, without dragging Nee/Lee into this, is a very oppressed culture, forced to smile in the public eye..like they are doing at the Olympics right now.

Back in the late 80's, Barbara Bush wrote her biography. I remember her writing about the Chinese children who were forced to sing for her & George Sr...She wrote they had beautiful voices but there was no life in their eyes.
