Hey look , we really need you to contribute some money to Pulpit-Pimps.org so God can bless you a hundred fold! Remember, if you give a hundred dollars, you’ll get back $10,000! Think of what you could do with that money! God doesn’t need your money. He’s just waiting to see if he can trust you with more! When you give to this ministry, you let God know He can trust you.
You’ve made some bad decisions with credit? God can give you the money to get rid of those high-interest bills! Or you can use it to pay down on a car you won’t be able to afford to maintain and generate another bill for God to get rid of miraculously!
You say you have to pay one of those burdensome credit cards, or your electricity is going to be turned off if you send in the money? Give it to me and watch God work a miracle! Send it to me and you’ll be able to run the television, the air conditioner, and keep all the lights on in the house all night without having to worry about the next electric bill.
As we did in our last fundraiser, we’re giving away some tremendous gifts for those of you who make a big enough love offering. For those of you who give at least a thousand dollars you’ll get this book (click on the image).
All you have to pay is shipping and handling. The rest is a love offering.
For gifts of less than a thousand dollars, we will send you the handy dandy Church Naming Computer (Click Here). And again, all you pay is shipping and handling.
And remember, in God we trust. Everybody else should send money orders (made out to me), certified checks (also made out to me) or cash (you can write my name on it if you want). And send that money to:

Do it today! Get your blessing now!
:lol:...
LOL!!!!
We need to read and study the bible for ourselves. Ask God for wisdom, knowledge and undertanding. If any of these ministers, profits, etc, are really using God for tax previlages, and get rich schemes, they will answer God at judgement, and there is NO to escape. We all are held accountable for what we reap and sew on earth. If you feel in your heart to give, God will speak to you and tell you to do so. God will bless you, his way and your season.
The blessing in giving is that we ‘have’ to give, but not to obvious gimicks. The giver is just as accountable to God with our resources. God doesn’t want us to be wasteful with what he has given us, so why give the money God gave you to a scam. We are required to contribute to the upbuilding of Gods kingdom, the poor and widows of the church and the man of GOD so he can focus on studying the word to bring the sound teaching of Christ to his flock. Why does God have to speak to you aside from what he has already said in his word in order for you to walk in his command to give to those just causes. Simply give freely and cheerfully to those areas as God has blessed you. QUIT WATCHING THESE SCAMS ON TV! If you are in a church that teaches extra biblical practices, stop participating in them and seek help on a bible teaching and practicing church if you are in the position to( you can’t go over your husband).
Peace
Big mistake, no mention of sowing seed in faith or sowing the seed in the right season, or seed corn, or seed anything.
Arrgghh! You’re right! And those would have been good for at least an additional one hundred thousand dollars. I am such an IDIOT!!!!
Melvin, you are crazy!

lol…lol classic!
This giving to get hucksterism is even older than three card monte and still works just as well. The marks never seem to learn.
Baton Rouge,La’s latest scheme was giving birth by Pastor Larry Stockstill at Bethany.com (where I used to go to church). Speaking of this article “Do it now!”, He has sent out a folder w/ DVD asking members to cancel vacations and sign homes over to the church so he can meet his $21million goal AND build extra buildings around the church.
We decided to leave after realizing all of his interpretations(TITHES, OFFERINGS, SACRIFICES, FIRSTFRUITS, OVER-AND-BEYOND) dealt with giving money to his organization @ bethany.com. Lo’ and behold we received a letter stating we were $1400 behind in our giving.
He needs to build the following in addition to the Restaurant, Daycare, Volunteers, two mega-churches, and private school he now owns:
1.)Missions Center(church planting offices)
2.)Media Center(for “marketing”)
3.)BCCN Center(more admin’ offices)
4.)Vision Center(meeting rooms)
Hilarious - so what sort of plane you gonna “confess and possess”??
A pimped out Cirrus SR22. And the fully pimped out price: $520K. I’ll work my way up to a jet. But I can land it at Freeway (runway is 2400 ft) and can get to Atlanta in less than five hours.
To have Cirrus faith is great, but show just how mighty our God is and go ahead and have Citation faith.
funny, i was a beneficiary of hearing Ron “Don’t touch my glory” Gibson say that “I don’t have no pinto faith, i have a bentley faith!! Snoop Dog and dem’ can have all of this nice stuff and ya’ll don’t say nuttin’, but when I get BLESSED, people got somethin’ to say about me!!”… I tried to find that principle in the bible, but i couldn’t find it. Maybe I need to intensify my study.
It’s in there, original greek…you to get a concordance out and ‘re-translate’ it.
It’s the ‘God loves the wee lil birds, think how much he loves you.’
What it REALLY means is ‘God loves the birds enough to give them wings, he loves you more to give you a phat chariot.’
I don’t know about y’all…
I got Airbus A380 kinda faith.
Now, i know they don’t have many runways that can handle them so, what I’ll do is get my select elect special church members, invite them up for a special ‘We’re touchin’ him’ service. Fly about for several hours that the service takes and land at the same runway we took off from. It’s be like ‘gods own mile high club’…Heck, I think I’ll call it that. All members have to do is pay for their tickets and other such ‘costs’…a deal if you think about it. Not many people get to touch him in such a way.
Of course, what I’m really prophesising is Space Shuttle faith. So the congregation can look down on god from such dizzing heights. It is after all his will…us being gods and all ourselves. I for one would like to look down on his bald spot…’bless’ him with some holy oils and tonics for it…at a good price of course.
Okay, I think I went over the top with that. Hope it wasn’t offensive.
But, I was using the word demagogue at work last night and it seems apt…”telling something you know to be untrue to people you know to be idiots.”
That’s funny, rshol. But watch this, watch this, watch this. . . . .mmm, watch this. . . .y’all don’t hear me. . . . if he had a GULFSTREAM kind of faith, then Gawd would really release a supernatural blessing. . . .turn to yourself and say “I’m getting my Gulfstream”. . . .
You can have the jets and airplanes. I have more faith all of you. I have faith for the sky, air, all of the shpere’s as well. Then I can charge you tolls for flying. :::wink:::
Now that the pain in my side has eased up from laughing, I’ve finally gotten up the nerve to ask: What does the expression “LOL” mean? Thanks, Melvin for all you do for us “Bereans.”
LOL = Laughing out loud.
ROTFLOL = Rolling on the floor laughing out loud
Etc.
All this shows how times have changed. The real original pimps were selling get out of hell free cards (indulgences). Their marks were willing to trade temporal possessions for eternal life in heaven.
Now people aren’t even interested in eternal reward for cash, they’re looking for a cash on cash return. I’m not sure which is more insidious.
Hello all. The sad thing about this post is that it is a typical sermon by one of these WOF preachers. It absolutley amazes me when I turn on TBN or the Word Network and see this abomination of God’s word. I am so annoyed by this that I believe God has put a sermon on my heart to preach this upcoming week.
Please pray for me as I will take the scripture of psalm 107, clause A- ” Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So” and the title will be “The Status of the African American Church”. I will be challenging the congregation to stand up for what is right and against what is wrong. I will challenge them to know the word for THEMSELVES and not just rely on what I tell them each week and/or what they see on T.V. I realize that for a person who does not know the word of God for themselves can be very easily swayed by what WOF is doing. I will use this sermon to counter-act everything I hear from what the T.V evangelist with scripture ( this upcoming week I will be watching almost everything TBN)..Please pray for me that I give God’s people what God has put on my heart to preach and to challenge my congregation to stand up for what is right!!
Be Blessed
Reverend J
How did the sermon go, Reverend J?
While a lot of the pimps Melvin highlights are African American, the status of all our churches is grave. The WOF movement, Methodists and Presbyterians who are more interested in social justice than salvation , Episcopalians who can’t pass a resolution that Jesus is the only way to salvation and Baptists who seem to think that “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” is more important than bible study.
Let’s not lump all Presbyterians into the same category, please. Not every church with the word “Presbyterian” is part of the liberal-sliding PC(USA).
True that. I attended a Reformed Presbyterian church for a while. Decent people. A little too plodding at times, but definitely interested in pleasing God.
PIMPDOM is an equal opportunity kindgom. To read about the “other-than-African American” pimps, priests, pimpettes, priestesses, thieves, liars, pretenders, hucksters, etc., etc., etc., visit http://www.apostasywatch.com and its links. Though very informative, it is not coupled with the marvelous wit and humor found on this site. This is a soothing component in the whole counsel of God. And if you don’t believe The Lord God has a sense of humor, you have not really paid attention to HIS monologues and dialogues in the Scriptures. I think God gave to each race defining personality traits that we may live together in absolute harmony. This in no way supplants HIS Word in the lives of all races. I’m sure you all will agree that no one knows “us” like “us.” LOL with luv’.
CORRECTION is in order here: After having read this earlier post of mine and re-think (thus, re-write) the 5th line from the bottom: I think God gave to each race defining personality traits that please HIMSELF alone–knowing the end from the beginning–that we would NOT live together in absolute harmony. Nevertheless, HE still made us to please HIMSELF. Agape!
melvin you are on the money with all your information, people of God can not say that they had no warning of the deception in the church, because here it is in their face, now whether or not their eyes are open is what is wrong. The defense of a few is enough to destroy an entire generation. Keep on preaching and exposing because the children must not be presented to satan because people want to be unlearned.
peace in jesus christ
Melvin,
While I appreciate this platform of uncovering the wolves among us, I think it’s important that we remain humble and not too sarcastic, but rebuke in love that we may gain these men and women, if they will hear. Though most seem too far gone, we have to be careful about someone elses beam in the eye and not careful about our own weaknesses, which we all have. Let’s focus on what is true, that’s our best defense against what is false.
Peace
(MN: It is not my intent to win these men and women. They are wolves after the flock. Again, the humor is to remove all of their anointed veneer from them so you can see how foolish they are and how foolish they think you are. AFter all, neither Paul nor Peter, nor Jude said warn people about these folks and then try to win them. The closest any of them come is in a letter to Timothy where he talks about the elder being able to refute heresies and perhaps win the person to Christ. But this seems more like the pastor/elder taking care of his flock than trying to straighten out a flakey pastor. )
Melvin,
This was just a friendly observation and in no way a suggestion to alter your format. I applaud your efforts.
Peace
Not a problem. I just wanted to make sure you understood the purpose of the site. If you look back near the beginning of the site, I got a lot of “why don’t your forgive them and reconcile with them” and some “we need to heal, not divide” and others. I do understand that I have to repeat myself every once in a while to address those who may be new to the site. I took your comment as an opportunity to do so.
Benny Hinn Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just finish watching one of his programs now he to his looking to get his very own private plane!!!!! he is asking for people to send in $10,000 and with the seed you will have your name written on the plane!!!! WOW and in the back of the plane there is a prayer room(YEAH RIGHT) where he will lift u up in prayer!
I saw the same thing and immediately called my wife. She thought I was joking. Did you all so see his new product offer. A music box in the form of the temple all for your love gift of $45. By the way Jesse Duplantis is after an $18 million dollar plane.
Continue to pray
SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT:
Most of the Blog has to do with the theology and doctrine of these “pimps.” However, there is something else we need to consider, and that is their personal lifestyles.
Many of the men that is mentioned are said to be GAY! Yes, I mean homosexuals. I have a good friend who lives and ministers in Waco, Texas, and he was a first hand witness to the perverted lifestyle of one VERY prominent minister in America.
This minister was in town to do a “City-Wide” Revival and stayed at one of the large hotels in Waco. My friend was personally responsible for escorting this preacher around as well as seeing to checking him out of the hotel at the conclusion of the Revival.
After the preacher was gone, my friend recieved the final hotel bill and it was substantially higher than it should have been. When he inquired about why that was the case, he discovered that the preacher had ordered well over 20 X-Rated Movies at 21.99 per movie.
Needless to say, he was embarrassed, disappointed, and was brought to the realization that this VERY PROMINENT PREACHER have some serious “defects” in his character that most of America have no clue about.
You see, I’ve learned something about the WOF that is scary. If you notice, none of the WOF preachers ever deal with “SIN” in their messages. And I know that it is the Word of God that keeps us in check.
However, when there is no Word, the fleshly nature that we all possess will take over! I am absolutely convinced that many of the preachers that are mentioned on this site are very immoral and perverted people…and that their congregations have no clue.
Lastly, if you go on Yahoo website and type this question: “Is ****** *** ***** Gay?” You will then be taken to a website that lists some of the prominent ministers in America and there are very comments of people who swear they know first-hand about the sexual impropriety of these men. I thought I’d give you something to think about!
Guarding My Own Heart,

(MN: Tell you what, I will put some of you in touch with my VOPWM and you can set up a site to cover the personal aspects of their lives. I really do think it should be covered. I too am convinced that part of the reason for their really bad doctrine is unaddressed sin in their lives. But the catch is that it is going to require ten times the amount of investigative work I do. And the results of mistakes will be much more far reaching. There is information out there, but I still can’t bring myself to cross the line with the information. What do the rest of you say? )
GO FOR IT… in obedience to (a) Ephesians 5:11 - “And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even EXPOSE THEM; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done BY THEM in secret”; and
(b) 1 Peter 4:17 - “For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”
This last recordation is especiallyfor those who “profess” to be followers of Christ, but in spite of having been warned multiple times about these wolves in sheep’s clothing, they plod headlong into the muck and mire of deception, poverty, and eternal separation from the One, True Living God.
Melvin:
In addition to your comments on this matter, I would highly recommend that yourself and the rest of the community read Jim Bakker’s Book: “I Was Wrong”. Wow! That brother gives you some deep insights as to how these men can teach what they teach. In his own situation, Jim says it was easy to pervert the teachings of Scripture to suit his own needs because he had a very bad perception of who God is; and everything starts and ends with who we believe God is. That means is God the god of our own Theology? Or is He the God who has clearly revelaed Himself in the Scripture and in the person of Jesus Christ? I thought I’d share a thought or two.
Blessings!
