Hubby was joking with me and said he thought "It was the number of people that "religious organization" drove to commit suicide.

Background of The 700 Club

The 700 Club television program is an outgrowth of a 1963 telethon in which founder Pat Robertson asked 700 viewers to join the "700 Club" by pledging $10 a month, money needed to meet CBN’s monthly budget. After a very successful "700 Club" telethon in 1966, Robertson decided to add to the end of his station’s broadcast day a program with a format of prayer and ministry coupled with telephone response. He named it The 700 Club, hoping to build a nationwide audience based on this earlier success. Seen in 95 percent of the television markets across the United States, The 700 Club now airs in nearly 90 million homes and averages about one million viewers on a daily basis.
