What about Osteen? What does one have to look 'far and wide' to see there? We know he makes his money off of book sales; he usually gets $12 million-$14 million up front from major publishers like Time-Warner for his some 30 books or so. We know he hasn't taken a dime from his church since around 2005, and he also paid off the church's building bonds out of his own pocket, not something a crook would do. He also pays for his stadium tours out of his own pocket, and they cost quite a bit. Nobody can find anything crooked or bad about him , but people like to pretend they know he's a crook. WE know he gives a lot of it away by the fact his net worth is estimated at less than $100 million while the upfront money he's received for his books runs around $300 million. His church's charities spends many millions a year.
Now, how does that stick up against your magnificent and selfless acts of donations? You give what, may 2 dollars a year to the kid who mowed your lawn?
