At least the old Bereans forum set guidelines on how posters treated each other, but now I have no idea what constitutes "off-topic" deletion of posts. One man's "topic" is another's "off-topic." Even the OP has been cited on his own thread.

Wealth is not a sin. What is a sin is preaching austerity and indulging in wealth yourself, or saying that your ministry is that "of the age," thus compelling people to pony up their hard-earned cash to avoid "outer darkness."

Meyer didn't set out to be wealthy. She is just very popular. That is no sin.

Simply mentioning a book in passing is not the same as posting paragraph after paragraph of stuff that is IRRELEVANT to the topic at hand. It is a matter of degree.

If Joyce Meyer rakes in 100 BILLION...SO WHAT? What does this have to do with the concerns of current and former members of the Local Church? Does she teach that she is the one minister with the one ministry for the age? Does she teach only her teachings are recovered truth? As far as I know she is just another one of these prosperity, wealth and health peddlers. So what? As far as I know this was not one of the things Witness Lee was flat wrong about.

Lets move on.

Let me just say that I disagree. I have several of her books and that is not her schtick at all. I've gotten great help from her ministry. As far as I'm concerned, she is the real deal.

But, yes, let's move on.
