What was it Jesus supposedly said about camels, needles and rich people entering heaven??? Doesnt look good for Joel Osteen and his ilk! People Magazine reported that Osteen stopped taking his $200,000 salary from the church in 2005. His net worth is estimated at $40 million, and he reportedly lives in a 17,000 square-foot Houston mansion valued at $10.5 million. The home has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three elevators, five fireplaces, a guest house and pool house. The New York Times reported Lakewood Church – former home of the Houston Rockets – features a 16,000-seat arena, three enormous television screens, two waterfalls, enough carpeting to cover nine football fields, a café with wireless Internet access, 32 video game kiosks and a vault to hold the church offering. In March of last year, burglars reportedly stole at least $600,000 from the church safe, which was a portion of the donation from just one weekend of services! Former Illinois deputy attorney general Floyd Perkins said Osteen isn’t violating any laws. “Typically the person who runs the church writes the rules,” he said. “My experience is that many people who participate have no idea there are no rules at all. It really becomes an ethical question rather than a legal one.” Read more at wnd/2014/12/enquirer-joel-osteen-caught-in-financial-scandal/#U7M2D4iUkgJxSSIc.99
