Florida church awards Humvee to "most soul-winning" evangelist
...the second prize was a scooter!

A 16 year old girl who "won over" 6,000 souls in 2004 won a yellow 2005 Hummer for top performance in the "2004 Soul-Winning Outreaches."

(I still can't tell if this is a parody site-but it looks like the real deal. 'Wonder how many souls you have to win over to get a new house..?..)

1. How hilarious!
If it's true, they mean "wallet-winning" champion.

Cuz that's how they paid for the Humvee- scaring Repuke idiots into giving away all their money to the Church to.....buy Humvees!

14. Bingo
This is all about marketing. The aim is to deliver bodies into the pews and their dollars into the collection plate.

a parody. What will she do with those souls? Give them to the Shrub?

4. That works out to about $8.30/soul
Not bad, but maybe she'd get a better ratio if she outsourced the soul saving.

5. Is that the preferred vehicle of the religious now?
Is it considered glorious to help burn up the planet and bring on the end of the world? Pro-life, indeed!

16. Yeah, "Crunch all you want, Jeebus will make MORE!"
It never fails to amuse me how they talk of "Stewardship" then work so hard to foul the only nest they'll ever have.

So what do they expect after they're "Raptured"? That their God will give them a whole new diferent world to totally foul and fuck up with their pollution and interdenominational wars that will have to come, since they won't have any non-Christian peoples to hate anymore.....

The first paragraph of your article:
Beloved, As promised, here is the announcement of the winner of the 2005 Yellow Hummer $50,000-plus vehicle awarded at the drawing of names at Rodney Howard-Browne's Church Sunday, January 16th.

I guess this Rodney Howard Browne isn't beloved by his brethren
http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/howard-browne.html

The Intoxicating Spell Of Rodney Howard-Browne by Yves Brault, © 1997
"What shall we say about his ministry? It is the result of a deceptive scheme of manipulation and crowd control, not the genuine work of God. Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits.” Remember: Power, signs and wonders are insufficient to determine someone’s true nature. Israel was misled and deceived in their days, and numerous Christians are misled and deceived today. Just look deeper than what meets the eyes."
My comment: If that's not a perfect description of W I don't know what is!!


A paper on the false teachings of Rodney Howard-Browne, one of the main people responsible for the Toronto "Blessing" movement. "During his February 1995 series of meetings held in Adelaide, South Australia, much of what Howard-Browne taught was related to giving financially, prosperity, and having an "open head" to receive the "blessing". There was much denunciation of all that would dare to question the validity of his ministry, along with labelling all those that would not "enter in" as being "dead", or Pharisees."













BOO!! Check out this bullshit

I Prayed, and I Heard The Lord Say To His Church

Tuesday, January 25, 2005

PRAYING FOR AMERICA AND FOR OUR LEADERSHIP, ESPECIALLY PRESIDENT BUSH

I heard the Lord saying, "Why do you think it so great - the things happening with your nation's leaders? For I am totally on time in response to My Word -- My timing and your prayer - so do not think this is some great thing (I got in me that He is referring to what has happened with God being mentioned in America now with a Christian President and other Christian leadership) - for I am GREAT, and I do great things to bless My people and bring them closer and closer to Me to see Me for Who I AM."

TIME BY DATES IN THE CALENDAR THAT WE HAVE USED WILL NO LONGER COUNT LIKE DATES HAVE IN THE PAST AS ESCALATION TAKES PLACE NOW BECAUSE GOD'S TIMING IS NOW

I heard the Lord saying, "What is going to happen and what has begun to happen on your time clock for a year called 2005, beloved - all has happened already, and it is now manifesting (I get in me prayers have been heard) in America and other nations - some things so awesome and some things the other side of awesomeness where I draw those going so far from Me who have sinful lives and ones content with their lives." (I get in me some who have been seeking but not finding till now.) I heard the Lord saying, "Those who want to see Jesus loves them and longs for them to be His Bride." I get in me these are the ones God is going to deal with as God alone knows the hearts of mankind. (Please see Isaiah 64 and Isaiah 65 AMP as I did not copy it here).

::snip::

GOD ANOINTED PRESIDENT BUSH AND THOSE IN AMERICAN LEADERSHIP - THERE WILL EVEN BE MORE THAN WE COULD IMAGINE WHO WILL BE COMING TO GOD - AMERICA WILL BE HOLY AND HAVE REVIVAL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

13. more from deceptioninthechurch.com

~snip~

Now the Tampa Tribune reported on September 24, 1999 that a Bible studies teacher at Rodney Howard-Browne's church the River on East Busch Boulevard was arrested Thursday for fondling the 8 year old daughter of a woman he had met at church.

~snip~

Well James Woods, 25, one of the teachers at the River was charged with two counts of committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child under 16. Tampa police officers say the offenses occurred on the night of September 15, 1999.

~snip~

Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne had been credited with bringing the laughter revival to America. But from what really happened in Carpenter's Home Church in 1993 and 1994 and its devastating effect on the community including the robbing, raping and murdering of the sheep, was not much of a revival.

~snip

Dr Rodney Howard Browne used his influence and powers to raise money at Carpenter's Home Church to buy the senior pastor Karl Strader his much need(ed) second Lincoln Town Car. But when Rodney was requested to use his influence and power to raise money for the unfortunate elderly victims of Dan's Strader, he refused.

~snip~

Howard-Browne also claimed a "doctorate of ministry degree" from an obscure San Jacinto, California correspondence institution called "The School of Bible Theology." A state Department of Education employee contacted likened the tiny school, which bills itself as "The Seminary to the World" and has no faculty, to a "diploma mill."
