Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

And let me add, Mr. Mayor, that rumors of Pastor Zeke's lessening appeal in the 12-18 age group are greatly exaggerated. I would at least think the Committee would look at his Christmas numbers this year before weighing the collections against the insurance payout. In the event something were to happen, in a helicopter, say.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

Pastor Zeke should get a helicopter if he hasn't one already. Then he can install a Jesus nut.

We at Landover have insurance on Pastor Zeke's life. It is for an amount that has been called staggering. Even though prayer is our preferred weapon against tragedies like helicopter drive train failures, we are secular enough to count the dollars he brings in.

All that being the case, our insurance company has a lot of money hanging out there and will not allow Pastor Zeke on certain kinds of aircraft. I'm not sure about this helicopter. Looks doubtful to me.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

Whoever heard of a Pastor preaching from a helicopter? How dare you. The loud noise from the blades would make it almost impossible for people to hear the Word of God from his wondrous mouth....

For some pastors, not being able to hear them would a distinct improvement. Not the case with our great Pastor Zeke, though.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

Maybe I am old fashioned. Back in the day, we took attendance. Anyone not there, Bobby-Joe's DOF team would do a 'wellness check' and collect Tithes for failure to attend.
Instead of simply towing cars parked in the reserved spots and missing enameled grille emblems, collecting meager impound fees the autos are also auctioned off.
I have heard of a 'Green Carbon Tax' that could be instilled on all the messican wetback lawn people.
A meals tax on food servers.
Come on people, lets get creative, it is for Jesus!

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

I've just found out that's a real aircraft! I thought it was a joke when I first saw it, you know – like someone had cut the middle section out and stuck the back and front together. But no!

Here though, there's space enough for a fully equipped airborne mission facility, tailored just the way it's needed to be. I believe it has plenty of power so if metal fittings were preferred (rather than lightweight plastic) that shouldn't be a problem.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

I don't seen any reason donations to Landover Baptist, especially Pastor Zeke's airplane fund, need to be screened for the donor's motives.

Amen! We Christians are all about forgiveness and redemption. If some of the airplane fund's donations come from ill-gotten gains, at the very least the money will be well spent. The sweet blood of Jesus washes sin from money just as easily as it washes sin from people!

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

Frankly I'm starting to get embarrassed by the uh, parsimony of some of the flock. ... The longer Pastor Zeke waits, the fewer souls will be saved and these will be poor people - tin tithers - so think about that.

Following Prince Charles' example, there may also be opportunities to increase revenues at the platinum level and above. Of course, platinum tithers are always valued but those wishing to demonstrate a higher spiritual commitment may elect to sponsor an honorarium. Saudi Princes, Chinese philanthropists and Russian bankers are often looking for high end spiritual cleansing, such as offered by a peerage or officially sanctioned title.

Good thoughts, Brother Toole. I don't seen any reason donations to Landover Baptist, especially Pastor Zeke's airplane fund, need to be screened for the donor's motives. If Prince Charles can fund his own nonprofit with so called "dark money" why can't we? In our case money given to Landover for the purpose of disguising its source will save souls for Jesus. What could be wrong with that?

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

Frankly I'm starting to get embarrassed by the uh, parsimony of some of the flock. Platinum and gold tithers are left to carry the load while bronze tithers and below frankly are getting away with murder, spiritually. The longer Pastor Zeke waits, the fewer souls will be saved and these will be poor people - tin tithers - so think about that.

Perhaps it's time to downgrade the lower tier seating to a harder plastic, something that will last a long time and won't need to be cleaned regularly. Another option is to increase fines for cell phone usage during sermons and confiscate refreshments brought from home instead of purchased at the concession stand.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

I watched Joyce Meyer this morning, and while I am upset at the fact a FEMALE is acting as a Christian pastor, I have to say she has some business sense. While she did indeed get heat for taking in a 900,000 a year salary and does have a really nice 23,000 dollar antique commode, she managed to switch to pocketing money from her show and book sales resulting in a bigger take in pay so that she can have her fancy new jet. We cannot overlook this and let some FEMALE overshadow the good Pastor Ezekiel.

Well! I am not surprised, Dear Mr. Rutherford; although, I am disappointed by this woman. For one thing, she knows that she should not be preaching. For the umpteenth time, the has this to say about such matters:

I Corinthians 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

What part of "Let your women keep silence in the churches" is so hard for that Meyer woman to understand? Actually, it has little to do with her not understanding, and more to do with her rebelling — willingly — against the Word of Almighty !

As for her lavish spending, I am disappointed that she would use the 's money on such things; although — again — I am not surprised! It shall be very interesting to hear what this "female preacher" has to say about wasting 's money on flashy knick-knacks, on the Day of Judgment!

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

The Committee has been meeting regularly even though we do not publish about our progress.

As I reported earlier we are in the home stretch of fund raising for Pastor Zeke's 320 Airbus. It will be the largest Preacher-Owned airplane in the world.

We know Pastor Zeke's nemesis, Creflo Dollar, has been taken out of running for an airplane in the league with Airbus 320. He may brag about getting one as large of Pastor Zeke's in the future but for now he is stuck in the aircraft bush league.

But, a new concern has come up. It is the woman preacher, Joyce Meyer. She is now bringing in a salary of $900,000 per year and moving up in aircraft. There is a rumor she will skip competing with Creflo Dollar and go right after our Pastor Zeke.

Her current aircraft, a Golfstream Aerospace G-IV shown below, is nice but does not compete with the Airbus 320. But we cannot be sure she will not be moving up. It's time to discourage her and ramp up donations for Pastor Zeke's Airbus.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

There's quite a good-sized model I've seen used for "famine relief" and similar almost certainly secular efforts. Apparently the factory where they're made can deliver to order and have an airframe ready to complete to-your-specifications (they don't list off-the-shelf models like some other European brands) which is considerate, given the specialist needs of a missionary aircraft.

We're so richly blessed with a Pastoral Team well-versed in Biblical requirements and a leadership spurning "body mods" (and let's face it, not requiring any) but have you seen what happens in some of those savage nations? Not content with the scarification and lip plates and bones through the nose and giraffe neck bangles once certain types of "missionary" get started preaching false doctrines and peddling assorted idols with religious objects carved to look like they might do something if you wave them around mutter in the right way which means you buy one and then pay someone else for the wave-and-mutter routine after which nothing happens because it's not real. Like a doggy-chew calculator which probably squeaks but is otherwise useless.

Perhaps if ordering one Pastor will include a Christian library and bookshop? I do know that if someone gives me a book I'm less likely to read it than a book I've paid for. It's so important that God's message is read and understood. The alternative sounds awful. I will not be including any pictures of "body mods" which are becoming more prevalent since the introduction of eastern mysticism (yoga, acupuncture, reiki and so on) especially among the goth community. Direct contraventions of Scripture can be seen outside any metal dungeon any time you like and if they say, “It's not like that,” just read the lyrics of their atrocious songs.

Leviticus 19:28-29 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

Re: The New Jet Aircraft for Pastor Zeke Committee.

It's difficult for me to tell if they have an anointing. I'd heard that Creflo was looking around for something, well it's embarrassing really.

Otherwise, why does that other one do her lipstick to look like The Joker? It mystifies me. Maybe some strap-on wings would suit her better.

Oh, how I so agree, dear Sister Mitza; it's as though that the Joyce woman has no shame about being a preacher, even though the is so specific:

I Corinthians 14:34,35:
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

By getting up in the pulpit and preaching, she shows a blatant disregard for a commandment within the Word of Almighty !

As for her appearance, well, it's obvious that, along with her short hair and garish makeup, she thinks nothing of altering her physical features — by having "plastic" surgery!






(I do apologize, from the bottom of my heart. I appear to have gotten a bit from the original discussion about our beloved and his need for increased funding for his jet plane.)
