Comments on: Use the Force, Tony! http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/archives/2006/04/04/use-the-force-tony Speaking plainly about the pimpery in the pulpits.

A lot of the pimps ministries have gotten me to where I am today. But I don't give them any credit. It was the Spirit of God that revealed the Truth to me. Rod Parsley did a message on the Bible once that got me reading my Word more. Kirk Franklin credits Tony Evans with helping him with his porn addiction. Evans' wife authored a book that I still read and re-read during this difficult time in my life while my kids are really, really young and needy. It took a while before the Lord started allowing me to *see* the error in other things the pimps were saying. But when He did, that became all that I could see and I couldn't watch or sit silently anymore. When it got to the point where I found myself spitting out everything, not just the bones of their messages, I couldn't listen anymore. Mr Woods

He contributed greatly to maturity as a bieliever. So for me and others on here to say what we said, hurts me dearly, but the truth is the truth. I started listening to Tony Evans back in 2003 read a few of his books, but let me tell you. I was on www.oneplace.com listening to him everyday at work. Then I would drive home and listen to him on the radio station here in Dallas. The first issue arose when he was on TBN on one of the Praise the Lords. Later he started to show up in conferences with people that are the Chief of Heretics (Creflo) he has started to get more involved with Jakes over the years (Grand Chief Heritic) and now his wife is holding First Lady Conferences (not heretical but this elevates one wife over the other) so we do have a problem. Come back in two years and let us know where you stand. I am pained that a person of such high reputation is starting down a slope. So you may be right, he hasn't crossed the line, but I tell you his toes are at the tip. Pierre, Tony Evans is one of the reasons I am who I am today in the Lord.

No matter what he says (and you have to listen to his sermons and watch what he does) they are going to follow after him. He can contradict scripture and tell the congregation anything he wants and they will bend their understanding of the Bible to match what he says. Also, I never said the man is stupid. I said he is a pimp, taking advantage to the people in the congregation. It's an ugly word, but it aptly describes what he and others like him do. By the way, I wouldn’t expect the person who attends the church to say anything bad about him. She probably thinks he’s a “powerfully anointed, humble man of God.” But that is the whole issue.
