Paula White, a prosperity gospel minister who serves as President Donald Trumps spiritual adviser, apparently believes her followers should live in the dark to help keep the lights on at her church.
A lengthy report on White by Mother Jones revealsthat the Trump-loving preacher recently told followers at her Supernatural Ministry School in Miami that they could secure Gods favor by sending her church as much money as possible even if that meant skipping their monthly electric bills.
In particular, White said that followers who send their money to Florida Power and Light (FPL) every month instead of giving it to her church are treating the electric company better than they treat God.
Instead of writing [that check] to the house of God as Im instructed to, then what Im saying spiritually is, FPL, I have now established a spiritual law that put you first, White explained to her flock. So, FPL, save my family, FPL, deliver my drug addicted son. FPL, kill this cancer that doctors say is in my body.

(1,853 posts)Lets reexamine and eliminate the loopholes that allow shitbirds like this to ply their trade.
While we are at it, lets eliminate that tax exempt loophole that all the mega churches are threading their way through faster than a camel through the eye of a needle apparently. Tax em until they bleed a stigmata.
Better stop now.
