I have never had respect for people who claim the name of God and yet beg for money so that they can live a life style of great wealth. THere are people who send money that they don't have to these people who get on tv and say the things they say. I am sure that there are people who got saved by the program, because the devil means things for bad and God uses it for good, but that still does not justify what they do. If they were truly connected with God, then Jan would know that her fake hair, eye lashes and all that makeup would make people talk negatively or surely she isn't that stupid. And for a husband to allow it, is truly despicable. Or maybe he liked it, but that would prove his stupidity too. I see all of this and I can't stand it. It is like mocking God or making fun of him.

Rev. Osborne never begs for funding, has never had 'plastic surgery' nor is his hair fake. I have known him for a good many years and I can assure you he looks identical today as he did the day I met him back in '77 (I think).
Even though many put him up on a pedestal, Rev. Osborne is just a regular man thickly endowed with Gods Special Message. A man must eat and drink. God turned His blood into wine for His disciples to consume. Do you want a man of God to refuse gifts from Jesus?
Real nice of you to be so judgmental when you really do not know him at all.
