I realize that I could be taking a huge financial mistep, but after serious consideration, I’ve decided not to become an Increase 3000 Partner with “Dr.” Todd Coontz.
For those of you who live under a rock, or perhaps don’t watch Daystar Satellite Network at 1:00 A.M. on Monday mornings, Todd Coontz is the host of “Financial Solutions with Todd Coontz,” an exciting show that teaches viewers how to make their wildest financial dreams come true by sending Todd Coontz money. He also heads up a “ministry” called Rock Wealth Ministries, which helps people learn how to make their wildest financial dreams come true by sending Todd Coontz money. He also goes on the road to lead seminars where registrants can learn how to make their wildest financial dreams come true by sending money to Todd Coontz. Basically, Todd Coontz is a rennaissance man.
While the website is somewhat sketchy on Todd Coontz’s qualifications (hence the quotes around “Dr.” which I’m fairly certain is honorary), the praise of him is effusive:
Businessman, Entrepreneur, Television Host, Financial Teacher, Philanthropist, Best Selling Author… are the words others use to describe DR. TODD COONTZ.
Yes, all those things do come to mind when I think about Todd Coontz. (You remember his best seller, don’t you???) But how did they leave out what a snazzy dresser he is? He is, nearly singlehandedly, bringing back the coordinating shiny silk tie/pocket hanky combo. You can tell he’s financially sucessful: he has a silk hankerchief in his suit coat pocket! I would bet anything he has a closet full of tassled loafers. And, while you can’t tell in the pictures, I’m certain he is wearing the ultimate symbol of style in men’s dress–the gold tie clip.
So you see how excited I was to learn that I could become an increase partner with Todd Coontz and share in his “financial annointing.” For only $84.00 per month, I would receive these exciting benefits:
What are the benefits of Partnership?
| • | Monthly in-depth teachings on CD or DVD that are specially selected by Dr. Coontz for Partners Only. | ||||
| • | Exclusive Internet access to Increase 3000 Partner features on our website. | ||||
| • | What are the benefits of Partnership?
A beautiful and durable Increase 3000 Partner card giving you a 30% discount on most product offers. |
||||
| • | Increase 3000 Partnership PAK. | ||||
| • | The satisfaction of making a difference in the lives of others. | ||||
| • | A monthly letter from Dr. Coontz, sharing his heart and updating you on how God is changing lives through television, seminars, and Partner meetings | ||||
| • | Periodic gift items and ministry tools are selected to thank our Partners for their monthly Seeds. |
But, the website also promises this:
“As a treasured Partner, you also share in the anointing and financial mantle on Dr. Todd’s life as he agrees to faithfully pray for you, your family, and your finances on a daily basis.”
By this point, I was looking for my credit card. I need to get in on this deal! Where else can you get a Partnership 300 PAK? I looked on ebay, and even ebay doesn’t have them!
But then something hit me. What if Todd Coontz really just wants my money? What if he really can’t promise to let me share in his financial annointing?
Then I had other questions about RockWealth Ministries. For example, the website says, “Partnership offers an exceptional and meaningful opportunity to reach millions with the Gospel!” Yet the website doesn’t say how Todd Coontz reaches anyone with the Gospel. The site claims:
“The weekly program, ‘Financial Solutions with Todd Coontz’ is only one component of what we do collectively as a ministry. Although ‘Financial Solutions with Todd Coontz’ can be seen in over 50 million homes in the United States, we are much more than what you see on television! Thousands interact with us via our interactive website: www.RockWealth.org, and many more share their testimonies of family healing, salvation, favor, and financial breakthrough with us via the mail.”
However, the “interactive” website is mostly interactive in allowing users to send money to Todd Coontz (wait…I’m noticing a trend.) Nowhere on the website is the gospel of Jesus Christ presented, though to be fair the “gospel” of prosperity through giving to Todd Coontz is presented pretty vigorously. To underscore the global reach of Rock Wealth Ministries, the front page of the site features full length shot of Todd Coontz smiling and pointing to a picture of the world, overlaid with flags of various countries: Algeria, Egypt, Rwanda… Presumably destitute people in third world countries can improve their plight by sending money to Todd Coontz. How egalitarian!
Still, I might be slightly more confident “sowing my seed” with “Dr.” Todd Coontz if I had some idea what he was going to spend the money on. Maybe all the money goes to feed poor children in Africa, or for legitimate missionary work in Asia. But the fact that the website and the “Financial Solutions” program don’t even mention what the money will be used for is disturbing for two reasons. One, that Todd Coontz is unashamed in his blatant appeals to sell God’s blessings to others for financial payment. And two, that people are actually gullible, greedy or desperate enough to send him money.

THIS GUY IS A CLONE OF MIKE MURDOCK. IN OTHER WORDS ONE OF THE MOST DISGUSTING, GREEDY, TV PREACHERS IN HISTORY. HE’S GOT MURDOCKS’ACT PERFECTED. EVEN WITH SENTATE INVESTIGATIONS, NOTHING WILL SLOW DOWN TV PREACHERS IN THEIR CONTINUOUS EFFORT TO OBTAIN MORE MONEY. NOTICE THEY NEVER STOP ASKING FOR MORE. SADLY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO SEND IN MONEY TO A TV PREACHER.

Ive never known the rightious forsaken
Nor his seed begging bread, Yet they beg everyday.
If someone was out on the street and said, Give me money sir, Im poor and have nothing, do you give that person money?
Maybe a dollar if you do at all? I know I dont most of the time.
Whats the difference in the drunkard begging for money, and these “DR’s?
Not 1 thing except, 1 went to college to learn what to say to get that money
They promise miracles on the air, then at the end, theres a little disclaimer at the bottom of the screen saying,
We do not promise these thing to happen, in so many words they lie and cheat and skeem, but whats so bad is, they bend the word of GOD to do the evil things they do. They use a little truth to lure people in, and then the lies they tell seem honest.
What will they say in heaven on that day? I cast out devils in your name.
then what will GOD say?
Depart for me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.
Man will earn his living by the sweat of his brow.
from the dirt will man toil,
I bet if you asked these DR’s what a spade was, they would point at a deck of cards instead of the shovel to dig with.
Woe to them who would hurt one of these my little ones.
It would be better that a millstone was about their necks and flung into the deepest sea
Vengence is mine, I shall repay

Jun 27, 2010 @ 23:41:13
Why is it that for miracles to happen and blessings to come, it is always dependent on sending these bozos money?
This is completely irrational.
Sep 22, 2011 @ 08:20:27
Well to all of you not realizing that you don’t know who God has called to deliver there word. There is nothing unfounded about what they teach or preach. You have to be a God believer on your own. God speaks on sowing a seed all through the Bible if you read for yourself…He also says that you should tithe and give offering…you don’t have to give to Inspiration Ministries you can sow a seed in the kingdom of God through a local ministry. Giving your tithe is giving God what is already His…Be blessed and start reading for your self…Murdock and Koontz have some great biblical information.
Oct 25, 2011 @ 19:42:15
As I have said before, Todd and Murdock are not Wrong about tithing, just wrong not to convincingly display just what it is they do with the money?!
Personally, I do not trust what they do with it nor do I trust them, especially Todd…come on…he is a joke.
However, the teachings are spot on…just give to whom/where the holy spirit leads you…see that is the real issue; knowing Christ…not Todd and Co.
Oct 28, 2011 @ 14:57:27
cuzimblessed you are decieved….murdock and koontz throw out a hook with a little truth for bait but the hook is a lie and you have bit and now are hooked. May God have mercy on you and the murdocks of this world.
Oct 28, 2011 @ 15:10:41
He should at least get “Deuteromony” right. There have been and will be wolves in sheeps clothing ready to scam the ignorant. Many of the people that fall for these heretics had a false conversion, they too need to repent and trust Jesus alone. Most have “accepted” Jesus, when we actually need to repent and believe and have Jesus accept us. Accepting Jesus is another twist on the truth of the gospel. Stop and think, we as sinners, enemies of Holy God ” accepting Him, is there anyway to call that humility, rather it is the height of arrogance. These charlatians are a scourge, who one day will answer to God, I pray they repent while they yet can.
Apr 20, 2011 @ 02:35:10
the blessings come with persecution
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:07:04
God does not need our money and neither do televangelists like Coontz or Murdock… God doesn’t promise us prosperity, health, and riches… the Bible talks about the parable of the seed and the sower, and that ‘seed’ is the Word of God, not money.
The Bible warns of those who are ‘wolves in Sheep’s clothing’ and Jesus even tells those who do these kinds of works to ‘depart from Him because they do not know Him.’
God can bless us… but He doesn’t bless us through ‘seed faith’. You’re only giving someone who doesn’t need money…more money.
Feb 04, 2008 @ 13:42:42
The fact that “Dr.” Coontz specifically tells people that they should send him that $1000 no matter what – even if it is your LAST $1000 – is chilling. His hard sell is, to those who don’t scrutinize every word, virtually guaranteeing the viewer will get lots of money within 30 days if they send him $1000. And – no kidding – he’ll send you a free “gift”. It’s a book entitled, “Don’t Reposess My Car.” There’s no question this twisted rapacious twit absolutely knows who he’s targeting and dealing with: the most vulnerable people in society virtually dying for a miracle. He belongs in prison. (And I’ll happily spend my $1,000 to encourage that!) Think of all the misery he has caused by conning desperate viewers out of their money. To do that, you cannot actually have a soul or a conscience. This man, if he’s actually religious, has to believe he’s going to hell for this. If he’s not then religious, then hey, no problem.
Based on his pitch and his entering into a “contract” with “you” on the air, he’s low hanging fruit for federal prosecutors.
Let’s hope.
Mar 14, 2008 @ 15:15:48
My wife and I were enjoying the good “Dr.” on TIVO this morning. She couldn’t sleep and recorded this idjit last night. We checked google and found your web-site. Now this is good reading. You’re funny as heck and can spot a great financial opportunity, too.
Dec 15, 2010 @ 16:16:23
I can’t agree enough! I watched him on Paula White’s show and I was a tadbit surprised because I thought Paula to be legitimately godly; however my spirit was vexed everytime he spoke, yet I could feel the annoiting when Paula spoke. I think its sad, the consistent prostitution of God’s Grace, favor and abundance – thanks for your comment; while I was never going to send in the 1000 dollars Contz was asking for you site certainly helped confirm my feelings. I’m so very grateful for the unctioning of the Holy Spirit concerning him. Glory and Honor Dominion and Power to the only Wise God our saviour Jesus Christ!
Jan 11, 2011 @ 16:20:56
Gheri LaCrae said
yet I could feel the annoiting when Paula spoke
Your feelings have deceived you Paula is a snake oil salesman too. She divorced her husband for no good reason and continues to spew her false doctrine. She is a phoney. Why else would she hire Coontz to raise money for her, her greed is the answer.
Feb 05, 2011 @ 01:16:36
I watched this guy last night and was curious to hear more about his testimony after hearing that he had used his credit card to give 1000 dls and how he was blessed in so many ways. The word credit card got my attention and I was wondering if he was going to ask people to use their credit cards to give money. Sure enough he did and I could not believe my ears! How could someone calling himself a christian ask people to use a crecit card! Just goes against all biblical principle! And to ask for 1000 dls? This guy made me so upset and I was just hoping that people would not believe his lies. If you want to be finacially blessed read the blessed life by pastor Robert Morris. It changed my view and heart about giving and since have been extremly blessed. I am a testimony that tithing and giving blesses your finances. But do not believe in giving using a credit card or giving above my means.
Apr 13, 2011 @ 10:48:35
don’t know why a lot of people believe in these scammers.it’s a shame how they make tons of money in God’s name! MY HEART REALLY ACHES SEEING ALL THESE WHEN THEY USES GOD FOR PROFIT!!!!! WHEN JESUS PREACHED HE NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY !
Jun 05, 2011 @ 22:45:54
Christians who stand for nothing will fall for anything. Not ALL TV evangelists or pastors are “phonies.” I happened to have been blessed to have sat under the ministry of Dr. D. James Kennedy for 10 wonderful years. He paid his own mortgage, drove used cars for 10 years at a time, and PAID back to his church EVERY cent they EVER paid him from his 35 year ministry, and then some! And he always left the door open to his office whenever he counseled a female, young or old. Truly he was the one individual most like Jesus I ever had the privilege of knowing.
Oct 28, 2011 @ 15:20:23
Feelings are not to be trusted, it is the Word of God, the scriptures, the Holy Bible that defines truth and truthers, Paula White is of the same stripe a s Koontz, she is a decieved deciever. These people appeal to your feelings, just like the mormans getting a fire in the bosom. Be careful it may just be acid reflux. Run from Paula White, Benny Hinn, Murdock, Koontz, Cerilos, Paul Crouch and his pink haired partner, and almost all who appear on Day Star, TBN, Insp Network, not much good found on Religious TV. Dont believe me to your demise. Many will call me Lord Lord,…depart I never knew you.
Mar 20, 2008 @ 15:26:22
I was up early (4 a.m.) and “entertained” myself by zapping around the airwaves. It’s amazing the crap that gets thrown at early morning (or late night) TV viewers. I watched Coontz for a while. He’s just like the rest of them. Just like them, he rambled on and on about “sowing the seed”, i.e. sending (him) money, promising ten-fold returns. Yeah, right! Having watched so many others of his ilk, I knew what was coming. What I couldn’t believe is that he was asking for $1000, NO LESS !!! What is it with this country? Don’t they have LAWS against emotional extorsion?
Mar 26, 2008 @ 16:36:50
Coontz is a Mike Murdoch clone to the absolute “T”. He has all of Murdoch’s body movements, verbalizations, all his financial “double speak”…(uncommon, seed, harvest, coming into “agreement” with you, etc.).
Do not send this man money. The only agreement you’ll come into with this man is that you’ll agree to send him money and he’ll agree to accept and spend it. I would love to be a fly on the wall in conversation between Coontz and Murdoch…they must belly laugh at all the folks that send them cash.
DON’T DO IT…!!!
Mar 11, 2010 @ 19:15:55
Anyone that is duped by Murdock, Cerullo and Todd Coontz is just plain idiotic. Don’t people know that anything too good to be true IS! These evil men should be in prison for targeting hurting people. Especially when they say that son or daughter will come home soon. I sincerely hope God Almighty pays them back all the hurt they dished out. Yes, I also said I would love to be the fly on the wall when they are not on camera. Boy! They must be cussing and laughing there ugly heads off. Please, read the Bible yourself. It’s not rocket science. Start with the New Testament (spiritual milk) you will eventually graduate, on your own to (spiritual meat) I promise without you sending me anything that promise is true. God loves all. You only need to talk with him with a contrite heart. Thank you.
Dec 15, 2010 @ 16:19:29
Amen! “study to show thyself approved”
Apr 01, 2008 @ 21:41:09
I’ve known this guy before he got famous. He went to my church, of course only when he was invited to speak or do the offering call. And it never failed, the same spill you are talking about. It’s sad to see that now he has “moved up” and is being seen by more, even on Binny Hinn. Quite sad. When he’d speak, my family and I would leave the room. It’s disgusting. That is not the gospel and that is not what Christ taught. The Gospel is not about getting money and I would love to see him try to back up his lies with Scripture. When he uses Scripture, they are manipulated and not used in context. It’s sick. I hate what he does.
Apr 08, 2008 @ 17:02:46
I saw Todd Coontz for the first time this morning on Benny Hinn. I had recently written to Benny Hinn about the connections he has with Steve Munsey, Morris Cerillo, and Mike Murdoch. I have wondered about his connections with Paula White. I have a personal story about Paula that is very discouraging. I emailed the Benny Hinn Ministries twice and asked for a response. To date, I have not received a response. I told him of my concern that I feel these men have gone astray from the Gospel of Christ. I have been a partner of Benny Hinn Ministries for years and without a doubt I have been feed the true Word of God and have been greatly helped by his ministry. I am concerned with Pastor Hinn who teaches the truth about the financial Kingdom of God from his own teaching, while, at the same time, uses the likes of these to gain financial support for the ministry. I wonder if Benny simply does not see them the way I do. I could definitely detect the same spirit in Todd as I have seen in Murdoch. Thank you for your blog as it is helpful.
I am not stupid but I am soft hearted to people in need. Because of that I am suspect to be duped for a wile but not for long. I have now sharpened my mind In His Word that God is not a get rich quick God and anyone who says He is…well, He is sovereign. He is not going to ask you to send someone money to get instant wealth until He teaches you how to handle that wealth to glorify His kingdom.
Monitory wealth is powerful and I hope God gives it only to those who will not be tempted to worship it. We should not use God or Jesus to obtain wealth. We are to worship God and not mammon. God loves those who give out of need and not out of greed (The widow woman who gave equivalent to a penny).
Mar 11, 2010 @ 19:34:44
Did you ever notice that when you see Paula White her name is all over like wall paper and God is pushed under the rug. Also as she “preaches” her southern drawl gets thicker! She’s the biggest lier besides her birds of a feather group she is in with. Her “first fruits” nonsense in January was amazing. I guess she figured it was a good scam to get in on the band wagon before monkey Murdock and the others. So to get people to send her money first instead of them. It amazes me that there is no accountability! A few short years ago they would not have gotten by with their thievery!
Apr 14, 2010 @ 22:41:27
Sorry, my friend, but Benny Hinn is just part and parcel of those sewer rat televangelists who suck the heart, soul and subsistence from goodhearted people like yourself. They also prey on the greed of people who think they’ll get rich with little effort. This scam is known as the “prosperity gospel” and has been around for a long time, but television allows these crooks to find a large audience and make millions of dollars. The only tv preachers I’ve found to be legitimate Christians are David Jeremiah and Dr Charles Stanley.
Apr 26, 2010 @ 21:38:21
I know enjoy David Jeremiah and Dr. Charles Stanley as well. But they too perform these same doctrines from the bible. Luke 6:38, II Corinthians 1:21, and Remember the two fish and five loaves. These are all about how God multiplies His people when we honor his anointing. Next time you give, give cheerfully in your heart and watch God increase your gift.
May 09, 2011 @ 13:35:41
Bob,
You say Dr. David Jeremiah and Dr. Charles Stanley are the only two…(I agree with you). But that is what YOU found.
I gave to Mike M, and to INSP Ministries…but no I didn’t. I gave out of conviction. If we obey God, and trust Him, the money, however it is raised/used by the charlatans (and they may not be, but since they don’t publish where is goes, etc. they are guilty until THEY prove otherwise. Back to my point…I tithe and we all should and giving away what He gave us is not a get rick quick scheme…it hurts to give…it especially hurts to give 10% of gross consistently…that is what we don’t do and that is what these crooks teach. Tough Love? Maybe, but I am stronger for it and certainly they are not stronger than Him…Let Him deal with them and you and should reap from their ministries. If you listen to it, and you and others have…admit it…there is a lot of truth spoken and people don’t like the idea these guys are the best “christian” car salesmen in the world. I still can’t believe Curillo is part of it. Is TBN and the Krouch Klan part of it? I don’t know, but I have been so fed by both networks, but selectively viewing and reaping. Yes, I have given, and I did it to obey Him, and He blesses. They say something vital..God does not respond to our needs, he responds to our faith. That is true and why all of us get hooked into listening. Don’t fight them, just reap. He is the Judge. Amen.
Jun 22, 2010 @ 00:17:35
DC Peterson, you got bamboozled my freind. Benny Hinn is just as sleazy and dirty as Todd Coontz and Murdoch. In fact I think Hinn is a whole lot worse because he preys on people who are not only stupid, but who are gravely ill as well. Anybody that gives any money to Benny Hinn is a big, dumb idiot. I don’t want to be harsh, but that’s how I see it. Maybe you can get your money back. Probably not though. vibe, you know?Hinn has probably already spent it on clothes.
Jan 11, 2011 @ 16:24:15
Benny Hinn is a clone of Kathrine Kuhlman and she was a phoney. Hinn twists scripture like all his ilk. Wake up folks, get in the Word, it will expose all these phoneys.
Jun 05, 2011 @ 17:06:12
Jerry….You are SOOOOOOO dead wrong about comparing Benny Hinn to Kathryn Kuhlman. If she were alive today, in NO freakin’ way would she approve of the way Benny has used her name. She would be 100% against his anti-scriptural wacko leanings. She would be appalled at his spending sprees on personal items and his mansion in San Diego. He would be termed by her a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” And for your information, she never ONCE in her long running TV program asked for ONE lousy cent! Those back home in Youngstown, Ohio and the surrounding area completely sponsored her ministry. I was raised on hearing her radio broadcasts in my grandmother’s home. I sang in Miss Kuhlman’s choir for years. You should grow a brain before spouting your mouth off about what you don’t know squat. Go back and crawl underneath your rock.
May 02, 2008 @ 01:45:28
I WILL LIKE TO SPEAK TO DR. TODD COONTZ AND I WILL SOW THE 100 DOLLARS IN FAITH FOR A FINANCIAL MIRACULOUS HARVEST IN MY LIFE. I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS THE PRINCIPAL PROVIDER BUT WHEN MINISTERS ARE TELLING US TO SOW ALL THE TIME AND THERE IS NO HARVEST; WHAT EXPLANATION CAN YOU GIVE TO THIS. I BELIEVE IN SOWING TIME AND HARVEST TIME; AND I WANT DR.TODD COONTZ TO PRAY FOR HARVEST TIME FOR ME BECAUSE I NEED GOD’S HARVEST TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY PRESENT FINANCIAL MESS.
Mar 11, 2010 @ 19:21:35
Your financial mess is not God’s fault. You need financial counseling. Not sending these rich and evil men money. Go to our Heavenly Father and ask for wisdom and be humble and contrite he will answer you. If you send these evil men your money, you’ll gain nothing. God owns the universe how can money mean anything to God? You must put on your “thinking cap” how can an evil man who leers into the camera with that smug look on his face and the people sitting behind him laughing and jeering make you even trust him? Put your trust in God and stop living beyond your means. Get financial counseling. Thank you.
May 12, 2008 @ 11:57:56
I sowed the 100$ for seed time harvest and I just got a 150$ reduction in my rent. I give God all the glory and I thank him for Dr. Coontz’ prevailing prayers
Miracles and Blessings to all!
Aug 04, 2009 @ 01:21:06

Just a coincidence you got a $150 reduction in your rent. Don’t be stupid.

May 19, 2008 @ 22:24:38
It is amazing. I am a pastor of a small church and teach our members to be on the watch for these bottom feeders that have attached themselves to Jesus Christ and The Gospel for personal gain and wealth. These parasytical preachers have one agenda, “making money.” I know several of them personally. They have no shame and the saddest part of all is the ignorant masses that are hoodwinked and give all they have on the empty promises of these wolves. John Avazini has commented that Jesus wore designer clothes, not off the rack. I thought it was amusing that I was at a local men’s suitwarehouse where you can buy 3 suits, shirts, and ties for $300.00. To my surprise guess who walked in? Ol John Avazini himself. I could not help myself. I wondered and asked what he was doing in an off the rack store? He made his way to the door quickly. I have been waiting for some lawyer [by the way, I believe lawyers are a few notches above these money grubbing deceivers] to see the possible class action lawsuit for false promises and advertising. I hope the folks that read this will not lump all pastors/teachers in with this snakie bunch.
May 23, 2008 @ 02:16:35
I know this guy “Dr.” Coontz. I watch him ride around my town every day in his brand new Lexus (one of two he owns) and sporting his Rolex. Things he is buying with the money that you idiots are sending him. The bible says “bring your tithes to the storehouse” not send them to Todd Coontz!
Mar 11, 2010 @ 19:24:04
Way to go Mark! People with something on the ball. Keep up the good work.
Apr 21, 2011 @ 05:25:53
Blessings will come but not with out pursecution this is to all of you people that are saying theses bad things boy are they blessed listen to all the persecutions………
May 27, 2008 @ 10:47:24
i wish these tv preachers will practice what they preach. how come they do not sow a seed to me to get the hundred fold return.
Jun 03, 2008 @ 22:06:03
But the good doctor Coonts must be ligit…..he’s on the board on Mike Murdock’s “ministry”.
Jun 11, 2008 @ 04:15:16
“Dr.” Todd Coontz isn’t as good an actor as B.Hinn, T.D.Jakes or Paula White but he still keeps the “cards and letters” coming in and those letters are loaded with hard earned $$$$ from desperate people. I strongly believe that it is time put these cons under the FTC and FCC and jail time for those who do not comply. The local churches are being financially strangled by these people. IRS 501(c)3 will have to be reformed or at least the IRS should increase audits of these parasites. Laws with teeth folks, let us do it!!!!!!!!!
Jun 12, 2008 @ 16:23:25
I think it is sad that people who don’t understand something, would rather put it down.
I also think that it is sad that people who talk don’t really know what to talk about.
Be careful!
The word of God says touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.
What works for some may not work for others. Your faith is what takes you to any level of belief in God.
It is better to pray about something and seek God. God will give you the gift of discernment, if you ask.
It is God’s place to lead a person, not man.
I would be careful as to whom to call fake and whom to call real.
God is the judge, not man.
God is the author and finisher of any man’s faith.
To call Paula White, TD Jakes, and others fake is unreal.
Sometimes men and women of God can be mistaken in their views, it does not make them fake. It makes the interpreter of the person’s action mislead.
Sometimes men and women of God truthfully believe what they preach and have seen individuals empowered and blessed by their words.
Calling someone fake without truthfully understanding is just WRONG!
Misinterpretating an individuals words, belief, or way can lead to false teaching and misjudgement. I would be very careful to say anything.
Just because someone is scorned does not mean that others are scorned.
Matthew says judge ye not! Be careful o little one who has a beam in his own eye. It is a scary thing to judge a man by what you feel and not what you know.
Again,
a man’s action at one time does not make a man.
We all have character flaws. Our characteristics does not make up a whole man. Man is intertwined with twist and turns, and made up of many parts. Be careful as to what part we call whole and then judge.
I’m just sayin’………

It is actually quite sad to me to read the responses of people on this blog. First let me say that I am totally in agreement about Todd’s ministry which was discerned by the Holy Spirit, not simply because he is a minister on television.
It seems to me that so many of you all writing on this blog have some extreme resentment to see preachers that are doing well financially. Don’t get me wrong if you have people who are not utilizing that money to advance God’s kingdom and support the poor, lost or hurting people, then it makes sense to think of them as swindlers. But just because you have Paula White, Joyce Meyer, TD Jakes or other ministries that request your donations or to sow a seed for various things that the ministry is involved in does not make them fake or out to steal your last cent. Do you all think the gospel will get out to the world for free? Do you truly believe satellites spreading the word of God to nations will happen without money? I have personally benefitted greatly from each of these aforementioned ministries and many others based on the word that has been sown into my life and the breakthroughs and revelation I have received.
I personally don’t have a problem with seeing anyone in ministry doing well financially (homes, cars, nice clothes, etc.) because God’s word promises provision, supplying all of our needs, and doing abundantly above anything we dare to ask. God is no respector of persons and it doesn’t take away from the prosperity he wants me to have just to see them with it. I’m not sure if what you all expect is to see these ministers in rags or what? Many of you really need to understand that though there may be some wolves in sheep clothing, there are many ministers on tv getting the lost saved, opening up people’s minds to living beyond a barely-just-get-by mentality, and helping people to experience a personal relationship with Jesus.

Did you know that Joyce Meyer has enough money to put Haiti back together again and make them self reliant? These televangelists are making hundreds of millions (literally) and give only in the five figures to charity. Approx $27,000.00. So keep giving your hard earned money to them and watch them sell phony dreams to hurting people.
Mar 18, 2010 @ 17:49:37
If these parasites are using money to spread the Gospel, then why are they using the money for their own gain? It’s obvious their wealth is from poor desperate people. The Gospel is free for the asking and the Bible is free all over the internet IF you want it. These people are not needed. If you are so concerned for these evil men, then by all means send them your money!

Yakeisha:
If you are in total agreement with Todd Coontz, then you can share in his punishment at the end of the age. They have never preached the True Gospel. They only talk about money and how you should send them it and if not a check use a credit card or debit card. I have never once heard them really talk the truth to teach anyone. Coontz’s mentor, Mike Murdock said he loves money right on TV. Is that loving God? Loving Money? Real pious man, he is. You, like Sharvey are misled. Go ahead and give them your money. These evil men have no right to make any covenant. A covenant is God’s law. How is it that God tells them to tell the public how much money to send them? That person on here is right. Anyone who believes in them hasn’t got two brain cells working. May God lead you to the right path. If I had the power, I’d shut them all down in short order!
May 11, 2010 @ 13:19:48
Like the other person posted, you are a complete idiot! These snakes are not preaching the gospel, they are ONLY begging for money. I, myself, took the time to read the Bible and know what the real gospel means and is, and they never teach nor have they ever taught the real gospel to anyone! Anyone who gives money to them is greedy themselves and not interested in God. They think that if they give these pigs money they will get a windfall themselves. Some gospel that is. That is the “greed gospel.” Every person must read the Bible for themselves and not listen to any man. Man is inherently evil and in need of a savior, hence Jesus the Christ. All these extremely rich preachers should pool their money and help poor hurting people around the planet. I don’t have a problem with someone being rich. Look at Nicodemus, he loved Jesus, but he was not scamming the public. Jesus said in the Bible that many would come in his name and be deceiving many.

Listen…..we don’t need satellites for the gospel. There are DVD’s around that have the whole Bible on them. You only need to pop one in your player. These evil men should be sent to prison and you are a complete fool believing in them. Hope you like sharing there punishment.

Y,
First of all, these men wouldn’t know the Holy Spirit if he walked up to them. If you go to your bible and read in Galations, Paul talks about people turning so easily to other doctrines. It was happening in Pauls day and Paul said that it would happen in the last days. When you read and study your bible, you have to go back to the greek wording and the hebrew wording, since these are the languages the bible was translated from. Well while studying, there was a term used for these men, they were called “hucksters”. A huckster is a person that barters for others property. They are coveters, and have a spirit of covetousness. They covet your money, and the people that send them money are sending it for one reason, because they want to increase their wealth 5, 10 , 20 times, or whatever these men are promising, so in fact they are coveting more money. It is a vicious circle and God is no where in the mix. Show me in the bible where God says to send him a $1,000 seed before he will show you favour. Its a lie. God wants praise, God wants you to obey, God says trust him. These guys speak of faith. Well I ask you, is it not faith to believe in God? Sure it is. You have faith in somone who you have never seen. You worship a person that you don’t know exists. I know God exists, how? By Faith and Faith alone. The bible says be a cheerful giver, but you have to give without being enticed to give. You give in private, and Gods rewards openly. I give in offering, I give to buy presents for children who have nothing, and I pay my tithe, because Gods word says to. I do not exprct anthing in retur for this, but God has blessed me with health, a good job, a good wife, children etc. I have a great life because of God, and he blesses me. Get into the word and study to show thyself approved, and you will not fall into traps of these Liars. Remember, the bible says that “many will say to me in that day, Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me thy workers of iniquity”.

anyone that has responded in favor of these televangelists should have there heads checked,oh wait if you did that it would cost money for a therapist and since you send all your money to these”wolves in sheeps clothing”i guess thats out!!I just love the person who replied do not judge these money hounds,the bible tells us to “beware of false prophets(or should i say profiteers)and wolves in sheeps clothing!God does not want his people to be oblivious to deceit.
Apr 21, 2011 @ 05:17:02
I dont need my head checked God spoke to me a week before Todd came on tv about the gideon 3oo and it works and the blessings are over taking me in every area of my life not just in finances but in every area I feel sorry for you people you all seem to have a jealous spirit working if so why dont you repent of that you people speak of things you know nothing about……..
Apr 22, 2010 @ 14:52:19
Let those FAKE preachers come get me! I’ll stick up for God because he stuck up for me at the cross! Every one of them are evil and like the other person said they just go on begging, cajoling, demanding, yes, demanding, pleading and what have you for money out of poor desperate people. I just wish I could meet them personally. I would give them a what for. First of all you don’t need to go to any church to be close to God. Just read the Bible and you’ll learn all he wants us to learn. The only real preacher was Herbert W. Armstrong. He taught and gave literature with NO REQUEST FOR MONEY and NO FOLLOW UP. I became saved because of him. Charles Stanley is just as money hungry, but does it in a different way. Are you aware how much money he has? If you did you’d be surprised that Haiti and the other third world countries are still in a shambles.
Thank you to whomever started this site.

The thing that also irks me is that Dr.Coontz is asking people to put this thousand dollar seed on a credit card if they don’t have it on hand to send, how responsible is that of someone to ask especially in the economic situation many are in at this time in our lives. He doesn’t care if a person is going and racking up more credit card debt, just so long as he has your money. He is on tv today looking for 1189 people to sew 1000 dollars. These guys are peeing in pots of gold where as most of their viewers don’t have a pot to pee in or window to throw it out of………………..I one time as a test sent in for a book that was offered for any donation amount so I sent in a dollar, well guess what no book, I then sent in ten dollars, guess what….NO BOOK. I guess my donation wasn’t enough but they said any amount. These people are crooks, cons, theives, snake oil salesmen, etc. Dont send Money to them..
May 10, 2010 @ 14:54:08
Well said! We are to be careful about “judging” especially the anointed. Whether you agree or not be careful to keep yourself pure and not allow a bitter root to spring up in your spirit. Look at life as a class room of what to do and what not to do. And tend to your spiritual life like a garden, pruning out any impure thought about another (take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ).
We as believers we can expose but please be careful to do it with respect to the Holy Spirit and with a heart of prayer for the ministers who are imbalanced in ministering the gospel. God is long suffering and not wishing for any to be lost. And if there is evil greed in the heart of any we can pray for them to be exposed and and corrected by the hand of God. If God is…then certainly he is aware of any wrong doing and can handle any situation. Your responsibility is to keep yourself pure no matter what others are doing. Whatsoever things are pure…lovely …of good report …think on these things. Let God judge the rest if these ministers are in sin they will fall God is not mocked.

Ephesians 5:11 “and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather EXPOSE THEM” Paul named false teachers in 2Tim.1:15,,Phygellus and Hermogenies, 2:17 Mymenaeus and Philetus, 3:8 Jannes and Jambress, 4:19 Demas and 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith. Expsoing these charlitains is not judging rather protecting the church from wolves in sheeps clothing. Wake up church, dont sleep while the wolves fleece the flock.

I just watched this idiot Coontz on BET Inspiration that runs from midnight until 8am or as I call it, “the laugh factory.” It’s one phony preacher after another, from faith healers, to mind readers, to profits and potions. Most of these preachers look like Satan and certainly have the same intentions.
I feel no sympathy for any clown that donates so much as a penny to these TV thieves. As a matter of fact, they deserve what they get. It is amazing that adult human beings with so much as half of a brain cell buy into this crap. This is the ONE and ONLY reason these satanic lunatics keep on going.
Since the United States has so many ridiculous laws implemented by waste of life politicians, why not create laws that ban these diseases from the airwaves. The US lawmakers will never ban these comedians from the airwaves because they are too busy creating laws that inconvenience honest, hard working people.
I am so disgusted with these late night malignancies and know there is a special place in hell for each of them.

Misinterpretating an individual’s words can lead to false teaching. Sharvey is absolutely correct in say this. All prosperity peachers have misinterpreted the individual named JESUS CHRIST. Yes, Jesus the only Son of God has been put aside and his Gospel used to generate the wealth of some who call tehmselves servants of God. They are not servants of God, however. They are self-serving individuals of whom the Bible speaks would come in the latter days. Such individuals worship everything but the Creator. They serve mammon and they spread false teaching and false doctrines. They are servants of Satan. All who do not see these things happening are blind and are lost because they have been taken in by such false Doctrine. So to all those who must know the real Christ, his real message, and his love, I suggest that you study your Bible carefully, meticulously, apply hermeneutical rules and apologetics. You might then want to agree with those who despise and hate false doctrine, which is what GOD wants YOU to do. God himself hates such people and their false doctrine.

I just watched the good “Dr. Coontz” ask for 91 people to send him 91 1000 dollars “seeds wrapped in faith” for an “uncommon” harvest of getting a house debt free. I desperately looked through my Bible, but can find no passage in which God can be manipulated by me. He recited the mantra at least a dozen times “faith determines divine timing”. Which means, God must respond to me when I act. He is claiming that I can control God. Which means, of course, that God is not sovereign, I am, according to the teaching of Dr. Coontz. There is a pattern that emerges from all of these teachers, Murdoch and the whole bunch…which is this idea that God will do what I tell him, when I tell him. You can never challenge their argument, because they will tell you that you don’t have enough faith. If you did, you could move a mountain. But, notice, their faith always centers around money and wealth. Yet, the Bible is not book about developing financial wealth, but instructs us, clearly, to forgoe the desire for financial wealth…the gentiles chase that…we are to focus on seeking God’s Kingdom first. God’s Kingdom is not a bank in which we wrap up our seed money, deposit it, and get a payback. We cannot claim, or declare, or covenant to make God our banker. Yet, these evil men, these false teachers who lead people astray, will shamelessly take your last dollar, telling you that they can agree with you to control God. I pray that no one falls pray to these ravenous wolves. God loves you. His love is not demonstrated to you by success or wealth in this world, but by the most important gift of all, the free gift of eternal life through His son, Jesus. Note, the gift if free. You don’t have to send me, or anyone else money to get it. But, when you do, God asks that you go and make more disciples, saving more people, passing on His unconditional love, for free. That is what is meant by bearing fruit for the Kingdom, not some self centered drival about acquiring wealth. God wants you to focus on Him, not on your money. But, don’t let someone twist that into the idea of sending money to prove your faith. This is not requested or required. Tithe to your local church, not to some charlatan on television who is making promises he can’t keep. I just don’t understand why the church doesn’t step forward and cast these evil men out…they are not scared to take a stand for greed, why are we scared to take a stand for God against them. Think of what they are doing to people with new or no faith who are seeking. They are destroying souls forever. God will not forget what they are doing. We need to pray for those whom they are doing it to, that God will save them from this false teaching.

Excellent comment Bob. I always tell my husband about the damage they are doing to innocent people and people on “spiritual milk.” They make proselytes out of people and not go in themselves, to quote the Bible. Sodom and Gomorrah will probably be in better shape at the end of the age. My husband cannot stand these evil men and will not tolerate looking at them on the TV. My husband is a God fearing man and will not even talk about what they are doing. He hates it with a passion!
Jul 25, 2008 @ 20:07:51
He is a cross between Donnie the Swaggart and Mike the Murdock. I agree with one of the above posters. How can any sane adult more than 2 brain cells send any of these buzzards a copper red cent is beyond me. As to the Hinn “partner” you must really be living in the twilight zone to say the least. Don’t be taken for a ride by these snakes.
Mar 11, 2010 @ 20:11:06
Way to go Bill! I hate them too. Murdock has that facial expression like that evil Chuckey doll in the movie Child’s Play. And Morris Cerullo’s son sits there with this cryeee expression on his face saying yes, yes, praise God. And then they say quickly, quickly go to your phone. Delayed obedience is dis-obedience. What a bunch of bull. I hope the IRS pulls the plug on their tax exemption once and for all!
Aug 18, 2008 @ 16:08:27
Please people, you that send money to Benny Hinn and other TV preachers, send it to me instead. I won’t lie to you, I will probably spend it on my family and myself, but so does Benny Hinn, so what difference does it make? Listen, I’m just a blue collar truck driver who is just trying to survive. If you want me to pray for you, ok, I will when I get your money, but being honest (and I am) I can’t guarantee that anything will come of it to benefit you. I also might forget to pray for you, (being honest). The only thing I can promise you is my happiness and my being grateful for your money when I receive it. That should probably be enough don’t you think. I live in an old house in a lower middle class neighborhood, not like the rich televangelists who live in mansions and are conning you out of your hard earned money. I really do speak with honesty, isn’t that refreshing.

I somewhat agree i have been tithing for the last ten years and have not seen or experienced what they call miracle seed come back to me.I am now in the midst of loosing my vehicle because i cant seem to get ahead with the payment,due to not having full time work.I pray for some change in my fincances, and circumstance.I mean i pray, i talk to god and he know’s my circumstances and i thank him for the issues im facing right now.And, i get on my knees, and pray.I minister to other people even when i am being slammed and kicked in the face by my husband and i dont seem to have a break through. I even tried fasting for 12 hours like the christians and muslims and nothing has prevailed in my life.If any one should do is tithe your money to those in need who have it to give.I believe those people that want to give their money so others gain more of it is fine but dont forget people like me who is really struggling and trying to make an honest living.I really do need someone’s help now.What is wrong with asking.Thank You Debbie L Silva Jacksonville,NC
Nov 11, 2009 @ 21:21:58
Hi Debbie, this is gonna sound harsh, but I don’t mean it to.
Sounds like you are only praying to God to get some temporary relief from some kind of financial or physical burden. It sounds like you are very religious. Helping others despite your own situation is a good thing. Praying is a good thing.
But here is the problem – judging from what you have written, you aren’t trusting God. This is not a “your faith is not big enough” situation. I am not saying you don’t have money because you need more faith. The issue is much bigger than that.
The issue is sin. You have it. Everyone does. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And because of this sin, you can’t communicate with God, and you are out of God’s will. The end result of this rebellion (whether it is open rebellion, or subtle self righteousness and confidence in your own ability), is hell.
But, God, in His great mercy, sent a redeemer. A sinless Saviour who took your sin upon Himself, and bore it to death. IN other words, JEsus Christ took the punishment due to you upon Himself. He died in your place. All He asks is that you believe that Jesus died to save you from hell, from your sins and from yourself. If you believe the gospel (1 Cor 15:1-4), then Jesus has saved you.
And then, you can ask God for help with finances. But if the finances don’t arrive, you can rest assured that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). You can rest assured that no matter what circumstance you are in, God is good, and is working things out according to His will.
And you will also be given spiritual eyes to see through the lies that these televangelists preach. They are wolves in sheeps clothing.
Praying for you debbie. Please ask any questions you might have
Jul 26, 2010 @ 00:53:13
i want to encourage you dear lady. you have been tithing for ten years. Believe me when i say this, God is blessing you to this very day, though you dont see it in a a big miraclous way. He may have saved you from an accident, or your house from being burglarized, or from being raped or anything that you may not even know. God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent. in whatever you do, please dont give up on God because as sure as you are still living,let that be your Miracle and testimony. I want to add something else, there was this lady who was married and both were saved. she had been praying and praying for the Holy Spirit. Well,her husband received it before she did. She thought she should have received before him because she was more honest in everything she did. God finally revealed to her to stop judging others and that he has no respect of person and that he is a rewarder to them that DILIGENTLY seek him. So what ever you do for God, be not weary in your well doing. Fret not the evil doers, for they will soon be cut down like the grass. Keep your faith and patience in God and dont be discouraged when someone else got what you think you should have had or needed. Love your enemies and pray for those that despitefully use you or anyone for that matter. You will get your breakthrough in God’s time not man’s. When you have done all that you can–STAND! and whatever you do—Dont give up. Many blessings to you!!! i really hope this help
May 23, 2011 @ 02:29:51
Debbie, I too, spent thousands of dollars on the church and
I ended up homeless and when i asked for help they wouldn’t help me. I came out of the Hare Krishna cult then into the prosperity gospel…..so hard to find God nowadays!!! It can get so confusing……lost in Honolulu

Yea i saw “Dr.” Coontz the other night on BET and like you said he was there asking for money and in return you get uncommon wealth and healing. I thought healing, if that’s so why is he wearing glasses???
Sep 08, 2008 @ 05:31:09
The money goes to buy his expensive suits and to pay for his debt free house “God” gave him

to the person who made comment #16.
Todd Coontz is NOT the anointed of God. He is a false prophet and a sheep in wolves clothing. He is a scam artist and he’s using the name of our Holy righteous God to bilk ignorant people out of their money and make himself rich. What he teaches is not of God.
Oct 04, 2008 @ 07:21:35
I liked Doug’s blog. So true.
Unfortunately for me, I was nieve and apparantly feeling guilty for not “measuring up” and felt somehow I could be a part of a “bigger ministry effort” when I watched other TV “evangelists” and got suckered. It wasn’t Todd Coontz, but rather his friend Mike Murdock that “inspired” me to send $1,000.00 to Inspiration Ministries. I woke up after giving $150 and stopped the nonsense. I was one of those fearful,lonely, insecure women who works nights in social services for next to nothing and they just caught me on a desperate night and I fell for it. They don’t need my little $1,000 BUT SOMEONE DOES. Perhaps my grandchildren or MYSELF even. There are good people out there who will use your seed for good, but you have to investigate WHICH I HAVE NOW DONE. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me. I still can’t believe they can stand there and do this stuff.
Oct 08, 2008 @ 15:43:14
I have watched this guy a few times and every time I see him he is asking for money so we will get blessed with a miricle.I did not know I could buy a miricle,otherwise I would have bought one years ago.It must be in the bible somewhere,but I have not found it yet.It is sad that these T.V. preachers are taking people who are hurting and in need for a ride to steal there money.They should pray and ask God to forgive them of there sins.
Oct 14, 2008 @ 17:31:21
This is one more pulpit pimp. You know what is funny try to call and tell them you want your money back because your “divine blessing” didn’t come they want to give you a phone number so you can get someone to pray for you.. Some ignorant Christians will say “touch not my anointed” for those should read Deu 13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee…
turn you away to chase money….
FYI I dint give these suckas any money, televangelist are bigger crooks than politicians
Oct 15, 2008 @ 01:10:16
This “Doctor” Coontz is indeed a bottom-feeding scumbag. Having an immediate family member with two EARNED doctorates – representing many, many years of hard work and sacrifice, for starters I resent these vain-glorious clowns with “honorary” degrees from worthless cash-for-diploma-mill “degrees” calling themselves “doctor.” What a joke!
Of course sadly the joke is on the poor fools who send these jokers even one dime of their money – and shame, shame, shame on the Inspiration Network, BET, and other airwave merchant$ who lend them even an ounce of credibility! And shame on David Cerullo and Benny Hinn – two good and anointed men who tragically have apparently $old out to the likes of “doctor” Coontz and his mentor “doctor” Mike Murdock. You can be sure that Jesus not only wept, but is weeping today over this false gospel.

The reason the Church doesn’t kick these wolves out is easy when you consider that approximately only one-percent of professing believers share the gospel on a regular basis. The true Church is much smaller than men think. The gate that leads to destruction is truly wide, and false teachers like Coontz are doing nothing to lessen the vast number of souls that are entering there.
“Judge not lest you be judged” is one of the most taken out of context scriptures in the Bible. Scripture tells us that we will know God’s children from others by their fruit, meaning their actions. False teachers and prophets as well. Mathew 7:1 is speaking of a hypocritical judgment. If you see a person kill, or rape, or steal, you can say, “That is wrong!” Our prisons should be empty if we took Mathew 7 out of context.
The astute Bible student knows that to gain proper understanding of scripture is not as hard as it seems. All one has to do is pool together all scripture pertaining to that subject. If there is any contradiction, you can be sure you do not have the correct interpretation.
Coontz, just like the hordes of other false teachers roaming the earth, loves to use Old Covenant theology to prop up his act of preying on people’s emotional, financial, greedy, and covetous desires. While seeking earthly gain was common prior to the sacrifice of the cross, Jesus clearly preached a new message of denying ourselves and storing treasure in Heaven. I’m not even going to attempt to lay all of the scriptures before you because I do not believe it will matter. For some, you need no convincing. Praise God for that. For others, though, it will take divine intervention from the Holy Spirit. You already know the scriptures I speak of, yet you have been persuaded by man to believe something else, something totally contrary to the words of Jesus Christ himself.
Unless a man is born-again he will perish. Looking with lust is the same as the physical act according to Jesus. How long has it been since you looked with lust? Telling one lie makes you a liar. Stealing one thing in your whole life, regardless of its value, makes you a thief. Using God’s name in any irreverent way is blasphemy. Have you ever had a covetous spirit?
Jesus said, “Repent or you will perish”.
Where does your allegiance lay?

Thanks Mr. Keeth because I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve heard and seen the “judge not” statement used so much over so many years, that I’ve begun to ask myself if those who say it knows what exactly it pertains to. Can you imagine the perhaps millions of persons these men (and some women) are helping to destroy by their false-hoods, which those who don’t know their Bibles, or read them very seldom are falling under their destructive ‘spells’ rather than knowing the ‘truth’ via God’s Word, by reading and ‘studying’ the Bible for themselves?
Where’s the message of believing on God and His Son Jesus Christ, accepting Him as your Lord and Savior, repenting of your wicked ways, and asking Jesus to help you clean up your life once and for all. This sounds like the ’70′s with the ‘Me Generation’ (send me the money, I can help you prosper, I have a prayer cloth for you, and so on and so on), and truthfully I think that God/Jesus are beyond sick and tired of all this crap from us disrespecting, disbelieving folk. God is not playing folks, either we’re going to do it His way because of ALL he’s done and sacrificed for ‘ALL of US’, or we’re going to be ‘eternally separated’ from Him for “ever” (in other words Hell, and we can’t say he didn’t give us the opportunity while we were hee on this earth).
When did almost ‘everything’ about the Gospel of a Savior who gave ‘His’ life for ‘ALL’ mankind, suddenly boil down to being ‘all about us’, and the ‘continual happiness and prosperity’ that we can have by “living our best lives now”? Can someone please find out where in the Bible God said this to us, because I haven’t found it yet, and why constantly ask for such “huge” amounts of money? Can I see your books to find out what you’re doing with it?
Lastly, when exactly does ‘enough become enough’, why it comes to the way they lie and say “God told me thus and so”? Isn’t there a verse in the Bible that says for the protection of the body of Christ, we’re supposed to ‘call them out’ when they lie on God (or Jesus, or the Holy Spirit) in order to not bring down the name of Christ to open shame? Think of the sinners who might have turned to God/Jesus in their hour of need (or to those who wanted to have a relationship with God/Jesus), but after seeing what’s going on have ‘decided’ that it’s not worth it?

Jeane:
You are so right. Jesus said, if anyone wants to follow me, let him pick up his cross (deny himself) and come after me. That does not mean I promise you a rose garden. In fact He said you will have adversity in the world, but be of good cheer, He has overcome the world. If they want to scam the public, which is wrong in itself, then leave our Lord out of it and out of their filthy mouths!

I like “Dr.” Koontz, although I guess I am in the minority. He is fun the way he relates getting rich to giving money to his ministry (him). Also, is his Dr. real? It’s improper to use an honorary doctorate, but all of them do it, e.g., Dr. Murdoch, Dr. Jesse, Dr. Parsley. Parsley got his doctorate from a small bible college in Florida that is now defunct, but he goes on using it. I love to hear them address each other seriously as Doctor.

I have been trying for the last year to get “Dr” Todd to quit calling me with his inspirational messages. I’ve requested this of his organization no less than 6 times, once I even talked to a manager, yet I’ve received 3 calls since my last request. I checked out the Rockwealth Ministries website and noticed the address. I called the AikenStandard newspaper to see what they might know about this character. I was informed that the listed address on the website is only a few blocks from the papers address. The person at the paper I spoke with told me that she checked out the address and did not find that fine sign at the address listed on his website. Then she went to the papers photo department and their opinion was that the Rockwealth sign was photoshopped in. Is this possibly true? Isn’t that against some law in South Carolina? But mostly, does anyone know how to make the phone calls stop? I’ve registered on the “national no call list”, blocked 800 & 900 calls from being received by my phone, yet “Dr Todd” still gets through. This isn’t some “divine intervention” is it? I must say I was very put off by these calls for their brazen maliputive message looking to dupe poor souls looking for salvation. I would never send money to people like this, but now they have made me angry. I asked only to be left alone, why won’t “Dr Todd leave me alone in my own home? I wasn’t looking for him, and I sure in the hell want him to quit looking for me! Who can help get these calls stopped?
May 07, 2010 @ 20:15:39
Go to the police and explain to them what you did and ask for help to stop the harassment. If this does not help, change your telephone number. I’ve had annoying calls, but from scammers I did not know. Some guy called me and told me he had all my personal info. I got frightened and called my credit card carrier and the police because I had the number on my caller ID. There was no name. The police came to my house and said they would check out the number. Guess what? The harassment abruptly stopped! I would get help. It’s not worth putting up with that garbage. Good luck.

These people on church tv, who often like genuine degrees from real seminaries are nothing more than scam artists. I would never send Dr. Tood Coontz a nickel, and the same goes for Benny Hinn, Paula White. Creflodollar, Joyce Meyer, and now even Joel Olsteen and his “co-pastor” wife. They are all a bunch of phonies. I commend Senator Charles Grassley and hope the feds will crack down on private jets, luxury mansions, vacation homes and luxurious vacations somehow twisted into “mission trips”. Many, like Joel Osteen have 100 percent of board members as family members who also receive handsome compensation. I believe the prosperity gospel and the nation og God’s special favor are bull. I hope many end up spend a few months in a prison.
I am an attorney, family father and spouse, and have served two terms as an officer in a mainline church that would have a church court and terminate virtually all the tv ministers shown repeatedly on cable television. Paul of Memphis, Tennessee.

I don’t know a thing about this person, just found this link when retrieving articles on the web about being debt free. I do want to share this revelation that the Lord gave me. If you have been born again you too are the Lord’s anointed. The quote touch not the Lord’s anointed is often used to defend man’s own actions.In reality it should be known that born again Christians are anointed. Therefore, you too are God’s anointed, Rejoice for you too should stand bold and claim that promise. This was such a freedom to me knowing my Lord anointed me too, not just a thing to be spouted over tv preachers, etc.
Jan 10, 2009 @ 16:36:26
HI! BILLY MAYS HERE ! WE’VE TAKEN THE HARD WORK OUT OF YARD WORK…..NOW TAKE THE HARD WORK OUT OF SALVATION ! The Lord is speaking to me at this instant and he said that 1,000 of you should send me
a $ 1,000 seed…….you just can’t pick a blessing off of a tree…..you have to dig deep in that wallet and plant those seeds ! We accept all major credit cards….What are you waiting for ?
Act Now !!!! Because next week the blessing will cost you $ 2,000 !!!!
This country is full of idiots! How you can you feel sorry for these morons who send these dirtbags
money?
Coontz, Roberston, Hinn, etc etc etc etc must laugh all the way to the bank thinking of these jerks sending them their last dollar as they live in multi million dollar homes and drive luxury vehicles.
People falling for Nigerian internet scams, Bernie Madoff Ponzi scams, preachers railing against homosexuality while “knowing” gay prostitutes on the side…..what a country !!!!
Mar 11, 2010 @ 20:22:18
Way to go! It’s gonna get worse. It’s every man for himself. Didn’t Jesus say in the end time people without natural affection, lovers of money instead of lovers of God. Lovers of self. Maybe the powers that be get a kick back from the money these scammers make. And if you sent them money and didn’t get a return, then identify your seed. How do you do that? I wonder. Maybe the next $1,000.00 you write on a piece of paper around it with an ID number. Hey, instead of a PIN number it’s a seed ID number! I hope Murdock and the rest rot in hell!
May 07, 2010 @ 20:03:38
Todd Coontz is not anointed he is just annoying! How in the world could he come into any covenant with anyone? A covenant is law. He has no right to make spiritual laws. ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY can do that. He can make man made laws if he becomes a politician, which he should do they are all just as crooked as he is. Why don’t they all just get guns and do stick ups? It’s much quicker than begging. Another thing is women should not preach. The Bible says women were created a bit lower than men. Man is God’s glory, but the woman is man’s glory. I can’t stand the Paula White or Joyce Meyer. They both cry about abuse, well, I was abused and I don’t do what they are doing. I have to forgive. I wasn’t sexually abused, but abused non-the-less. Abandonment is a form of abuse. Abuse outside the home was my problem. Todd Coontz and Monkey Murdock just spin round and round until on comes the tinkely music and then comes the sow your seed nonsense. I hate them all because of what they are doing. I don’t care if they are rich that’s not the point. False hope hurts badly and that’s what they are dealing in. I know that one day they all will sorely regret their actions but it will be too late.

Feb 06, 2009 @ 02:09:36
For each and every person, whether agree or disagree, here is the key, I remember what the scripture says, in this, whatever you do in all things do as unto the Lord, if you do what you must;be it seeding into the ministries, attending to the sick, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, helping the poor, whatever it is, you are commanded by the Lord to do it as unto him. It isn’t important to criticize the minister’s for what the message you might mis-interpret or miscontrue, but what we should do is as unto the Lord, pray for them, pray for the work they are suggesting they are doing, pray for wisdom on both parts, which means, if they are right pray for that, if they are wrong, pray for that, if you were really concerned,and really thinking in terms of what the truth is, the bible also clearly says, that you should pray for your enemies, pray for those who despitefully use you and say all manner of evil against you falsely. Did you catch that ‘falsely’. Who is to say, they are not being spoken against falsely. The bible says no one knows the mind of a man save the spirit that is within in him. Are you going to say ‘you’ have that place, as the spirit within man? I doubt that, the story of ananias and saphira should caution anyone for lying to the Holy Spirit. If you don’t know about it, read it in the new testament, they lied about thier dealing with money and were struck dead. SO when you hear these ministers saying if they are lying,
are not telling the truth about thier confession of faith concerning money matters, they know that God can and will bring death upon those souls who choose to lie to the Holy Ghost, so do your research, and don’t pass judgement on that which you do not know for certain. The bible says judge not least you be judged in like manner. There is only ‘One Righteous Judge’, so let him be the judge of what is true and of good report. Then we will see His hand at work in much to do with life. I pray that God continues to lead us into all truth always and that He will continue to bless us with His knowledge that leads us into ‘All truth’.
May 06, 2010 @ 20:23:53
First of all, you don’t pray to the Holy Spirit. You pray, as Jesus taught, to our Heavenly Father. If you can’t see through these evil men, than know that the Bible says that we should check EVERYTHING out according to the Bible and nothing else. Do you really listen to them “Pray?” They only say something like this, I’ve come into this studio and I’ve told them what you told me to say. Now, have you ever audibly heard God speak to you? No, you haven’t. Anyone that cannot see what is crystal clear to most people on this blog, I feel, needs to do real soul searching.
Dec 01, 2010 @ 20:09:11
What in this round world are you trying to say??
Feb 20, 2009 @ 19:51:26
I also believe that Todd Coontz is preaching a false gosple that only benefits him.
But there will come a day when “Dr” Coontz will come face to face with the Lord and if Todd is a hippocrate then Jesus will profess to him,
I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:23
Feb 23, 2009 @ 11:45:04
To all who have given even after you feel you have been deceived,,, I would say that it is a lesson to be learned,, but remember one thing, Im sure you gave in Faith and God will honor that. The Televangelist who are operating in deception will be judged because if we dont judge ourselves, we will be judged the bible says. Dont feel guilty that you felt desperate to give one night when you couldnt sleep. Trust God to meet a need with the seed you have sown. From here on out if you belong to a church, give to your local church. Sometimes the devil uses certain ministers to take finances that should belong to the local church. I lived in Tulsa back in 88 to 93 and the pastors father was a well known evangelist. (Not Oral Roberts) And afte he would preach, he would first give an opportunity for those who had never received Christ to get saved. (#1 Priority always) Then he would take up an offering but he would always say, dont give me your tithe, that belongs to your local church. God always blessed him and he never lacked for finances.. Praise God
Feb 23, 2009 @ 17:06:04
I have been looking for spiritual programs, when I hear God mentioned I stop and listen looking for something to feed my soul. These beggers for money sicken me and I am imbarassed that they are on TV saying God in their breath as they beg for money. Truly it is sickening. I do wish they would be investigated and stopped someway. I would not send them any money. After my husband passd away I was looking at TV early in the morning and found, Peter Popoff and Don Stewart I wanted so bad for a Miracel I sent them $1.00 and ask them to pray and when I get the big check I would send more. I get all kinds of things from them asking me to send more. I don’t know what to think, thanks for your comments and letters. Keep them coming.

To the person Jeanniemarie…..I’m so sorry about your husband passing. Please, take it from me. I’ve been an outcast of my family and financially destroyed in the past. Just go to our Heavenly Father and ask for guidance with a contrite and sincere heart and he will lead you and give you solace. Whatever you do, don’t give these evil men any money. They are just plain beggars. Why don’t they get real jobs and stop this begging. Look in your bible. Does Jesus tell us to send anyone money to commune with God? What is the miracle your looking for? Ask God for wisdom. You could have the whole world pray for you and if it’s not in God’s will it will not happen. Remember…All things work together for good to those that love him. You don’t need Peter Popoff or the other snake. May God bless and watch over you.

You believe in the “god” YOU created for yourself, which the real and ONLY God warns, is an abomination. Why spend counterfeit money when you can prosper from enjoying and being used by the Genuine?
Apr 11, 2009 @ 11:07:59
This crowd of snakes – these “doctors” of ministry – better hope and pray (providing they really ever do) – that nothing in the Holy Bible is true. And that’s what I think they really believe. Because if it is, they are in doo-doo deep and plenty. And shame on BET for presenting these shows on their network. I realize it reprsents big bucks. But it is a huge disservice to their viewers and especially in certain areas they have committed to serve. Every time I see Coontz, Murdock, Hinn … any of them, I feel like I need a shower.
Apr 13, 2009 @ 19:25:59
I agree with #37. Very well said and explained. Well done!
Apr 23, 2009 @ 04:26:03
I pray for all of them Hinn, Koontz, etc. and hope they see the error of their ways someday. The sad thing is, they probably think they’re actually serving God and doing good things for people. They don’t think of themselves as scam artists. They’ve convinced themselves that wrong is right. God bless them.
May 13, 2010 @ 20:19:21
I think not. They know damned well that they are “wrong.” They are the most hard core, cold, insensitive, money hungry garbage this world could produce! Even the Iatola or how ever you spell his name said back in the 1980′s that this country can’t and is unwilling to stand up for itself. Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves right now. I never thought in my most wildest imaginings that this garbage would happen. Not just them, though, look at how Jesus said in the end times, people would be lovers of money and self, and because of extreme lawlessness will abound, the love of many would wax COLD! Guess what? That prophecy is being fulfilled right now in front of our faces! That is good news, though, that means our savior should be returning soon, I hope. Weather soon or not, he is coming back, absolutely.

In his testimony, Todd Coontz said he went to a flower shop to get some flowers for his girlfriend, only the shop had no flowers. The shop owner then ask Coontz what he did for a living. Coontz stated he was in finance. The shop owner then ask Coontz if he would like to manage his money! Coontz then said he had more money in HIS hands than he ever had. Wow, some testimony! What a crock. Coontz is a liar like his mentor Mike “Money” Murdock. A flower shop with no flowers, a man asking a total stranger to manage his money? Coontz should quit his job as money grubbing TV preacher and do what he does best, write fairy tales! This guy is a digusting piece of manure.
May 06, 2010 @ 20:09:01
To George: I also saw that one about the flower shop. I couldn’t believe he didn’t come out and say, “man, even I don’t believe this crap!” LOL! I can’t stop LOL! When I read your reply I laughed so hard I almost cracked another rib! Especially the part about fairy tales. I’m laughing so hard my eyes are tearing! Seriously, isn’t it amazing they away with this? It’s always the “second class” people they are targeting. The ones with no education and so on. If I were a bona fide atheist I still would be so aware of what they are doing. ya think?
Thank you for the laugh it’s the best I’ve had all day.

I just heard Todd Coontz in Sydney today at the Entertainment Centre. I couldn’t figure out why so much performance and emotion about what seemed to be an appeal to give money to support an outreach in the Congo.
I cannot understand Todd’s metaphorical use of the word seed. A farmer when he plants seed still has the seed and still has control over it while it grows. Giving seed away is not farming it is giving. There is no control over seed that a farmer gives away to someone else. It is lost with no expectation of return, unless the farmer has an agreement with the person he gives the seed to to get a profit from a crop or to get the seed back plus a portion of the harvest.
Todd’s argument is not about sowing seed it is about giving money away.
Sep 26, 2009 @ 15:27:22
The giver is the farmer and he has a covenant with the the great I AM who he gives the seed to who then will bless the farmer with a profit from a crop or bless the seed back plus a portion of the harvest. He who has ears will hear. Read the WORD. Pray for wisdom. Listen. The goal is souls. Spread the Word. You are to serve God and do battle against the enemy who wants YOUR soul with him in hell for eternity. You will die and go to hell and burn forever without salvation. You must choose. You are given a choice. Choose life or death.

Isn’t it amazing that a man that is supposed to be so pious is touting he loves the sight of an hundred dollar bill and that it is better to his sight than any woman. How horrid! A truly pious man loves God not women or money. They will all get their comeupance one of these days. I believe they have no faith nor do they believe God exists because if they did, and the devil is capable of quoting scripture, they would be too afraid of the consequences to do what they are doing. If I had the power I would destroy them myself and spare poor hurting parents that have wayward kids that these creeps are promising these people that their kids will come home if they send them money. What a bunch of liars! Jesus paid our sin debt so now we are allowed to go to our Heavenly Father ourselves and ask for anything with a humble heart.
Aug 27, 2009 @ 14:54:44
The success of Hinn, Robertson, Popoff, Coontz, Murdock, Crouch etc etc etc etc only go to prove the truth of what that great 20th century philosopher
P.T. Barnum once said :
“There’s a sucker born every minute”
This country has to be filled with the biggest collection of morons and uneducated brain dead idiots who have made these con artists
multi millionaires. I can just see them laughing at these suckers all the way to the bank.
All you have to do is go to a public library internet and Google anyone of these scam artists to see pages of their rip-offs. My favorite is Popoff whose wife used a radio transmitter to transmit messages to Popoffs earpiece receiver as he went thru the audience telling the suckers what diseases they had ( his wife had previously went thru the audience and asked the people what they were suffering from and then wrote the info on a 3×5 card with what clothes the person was wearing and the disease they had and then went backstage and transmitted the info to Popoff so Popoff could go up to that person and tell him God was telling him about his disease.)…..and the whole scam was broadcast on the Johnny Carson show in the early 1990′s and this dirtbag is on the TV again…..is every person in this country a complete idiot ? I think
Neanderthals making tools out of stones 50,000 years ago had more intelligence than most of these morons giving their hard earned last dollars to these con artists.
May 06, 2010 @ 19:57:51
Oh, yes! I saw Peter Popoff on TV sitting in a chair with his wife in another chair, with a dead dog’s head in his lap! Yup! You read it correctly. A DEAD DOG’S HEAD IN HIS LAP! And they take turns having it in their laps, him and his wife, that is. Also, his wife occasionally pets it and someone pulling strings or has a puppet like way of moving it from time to time to make it look real. The camera never zooms in on it. It never opens its eyes. They just have a head and a tube-like body attached to it. When I saw it I could not help but laugh, but then felt sickened by it. It is burlesque and the lowest thing an individual could do. The Bible says think it not strange these things that you see happening. I’m from the old school and the world was a very different place years ago. Glad to see there’s a little light in the forest after all with the people on this blog.

It is a simple fact that the Apostles were not wealthy when it came to currency or worldly possessions. However, they recognized that whatever they had belonged to God, and they were willing and enthusiastic about sharing it with others. (Acts 3:6)
Keeping this in mind, we understand that Christians today are not forbidden from being wealthy. In fact, 21st Century American Christians for the most part enjoy an embarrassment of worldly riches. A short visit to any Third World impoverished community would quickly verify this.
It is possible to be a wealthy Christian, but the Bible contains warnings for those who are blessed by God with worldly riches. First, they are to recognize the difference between earthly riches, which are temporary, and true “riches,” which are eternal. Second, they must remember that there is a high calling upon their life to distribute what God has given, and to communicate with those whom God wants to bless through them.
“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.” II Timothy 6:17-18

In July of 2008, Todd Coontz took his money grubbing show to Johannesburg, South Africa. There he joined forces with Benny Hinn in a “Miracle Crusade” of epic proportions. At some point during the crusade, Todd made an appeal that people of the Christian Faith are getting used to hearing. “You’ve Got Two Minutes To Become God’s Next Millionaire… Only Two Minutes People! He told the congregation everyone who sowed $1000.00 within the next 2 minutes, God was going to make them become millionaires and billionaires within the next 24 Hours! Per the local pastors, over a thousand people sowed $1000.00! How many of them became millionaires! Just 1, Todd Coontz! 1000 x $1000 =?

Sad to watch so many being fooled by these vipers. “Dr” Coontz is such an obvious con man that it’s laughable. As others have mentioned, the clone of the great man of God Mike Murdock….LOL. Most of these guys are very clever with coming up with just the right amount that God told them to tell us to give. When it was 9-9-09 I watched Marcus Lamb come up with several different amounts that people should give. After all, he said God was speaking to him at that very moment to tell his ‘partners’..Wow…are these a sign of the end times when you realize that these folks are broadcasting this false message around the world? Anyone that even considers sending money to these rich fake preachers should read Proverbs 22:16
Oct 01, 2009 @ 19:46:38
Look, all your angry and judgmental words betray a wrong heart. I know, because I just had to erase my initial comment, which was far too corrective and with an irritated spirit as well. We all deal with it—so let’s DEAL with it! It’s called the flesh, and it’s sin. Let’s spend our time on better, more noble words and pursuits that are truly edifying. I know many of you will respond defensively about “discernment” and all, but as for me, I have to guard my heart! And true Holy Spirit discernment is still done in love. I do not find much of that here!
Mar 11, 2010 @ 20:42:23
That’s probably because you didn’t send these pigs your hard earned money. Just think, some poor mother who has a son or daughter that is running wild. Now you see one of these pigs promising you send me $1,000.00 and your son or daughter will come home. How would you feel sitting home crying your eyes out and some pig gives you false hope and takes your money? Get hip to yourself! In other words, “walk a mile in my shoes.”

Well J.A.H. Do you think that ‘love’ is just done within your heart and not done in a way to help your brothers and sisters? Do you think it is a waste of time to try and gather the sheep back into the fold after the wolf has come? Let me tell you in a gentle way. I do not hate, I am not angry, and I am not judgemental. As for your comment “I know many of you will respond defensively about discernment and all, but as for me ,I have to guard my heart”. Are you referring to 1 Cor 2:15? Pardon me, but I want as many to be saved as possible. That goes for Ken Copeland and all of his kind of money preachers. In the mean time, I would like to see people getting the true word of God and not some get rich quick scheme that only makes the Ken Copelands of the world richer while they rob God, not of money, but by spreading false gospel. I will close with this….Why in the world would any one have to send Mike Murdock/ Ken Copeland or any of these folks money in order to get God’s blessing? Why? A person could do so much more good with his money by giving directly to the poor. Think about it.

Robert Tilton frauded us with throwing away peoples prayers, Ted Haggard blasted gay people only to be found GAY himself, Jimmy Swaggart with the prostitute, I am JUST PLAIN TIRED of all of the hypocrisy. Many of us have our opinions regarding the validity of these TV preachers, but how many of us study the Word of God for ourselves. I believe that if we strengthen our relationship with God we will see straight through the false prophets. I laughed when I saw Coontz this morning. It is the first time I have ever seen him. I knew within about three minutes that this guy was getting nothing from me. I tithe, give regular offering and sacrificial offering for ministry development. Our pastor taught the congregation about the importance of doing all three. There are many ministries in ALL of our local areas that could use our financial resources. Try to find one of those and develop a relationship with the person who leads that ministry. The whole experience will be much more fulfilling. God bless each of you who make these comments. Somewhere inside ALL of us we want to see the true WILL of GOD manifested. This kind of dialog is the best way for us to get it out no matter how confrontational the discussion may become. ALL of us know that Jesus experienced a pretty “confrontational” moment on THE CROSS – so who are we (Christians) not to experience some of the same. Look at how much better our lives are because of His sacrifice. Lets get closer to Jesus. He will guide us past the false prophets. I am JUST PLAIN TIRED of hearing all the words of believers. Lets love Jesus and each other enough to BE the believers that our TRUE and LIVING God created. Much love to ALL.

Just Plain Tired: Very nicely said. Jesus said watch out for false prophets or people with false doctrine. You’ll know them by their fruits. Boy! How true! I used to sing the song in Sunday school called Jacobs Ladder and we used to motion with our arms climbing a ladder. I was only six or seven, but we should fight the good fight and not try to be politically correct. According to Revelation, there will be more martyrdom in the future. We must stick to the ten commands and not deviate at all. This false church will try to change times and laws and if anyone does not follow, well, we may have to drink the cup our savior drank. That’s okay, though. God bless
Dec 05, 2009 @ 13:55:06
i think that what most people have a problem with is the fact that these
t.v. ministers put so much emphasis on money. i understand that money
is needed in this day and age to reach the “masses”, or so they think.
A lot of people have a problem with the fact that while most of the money
that goes to these ministers come from the average working person, who
may or may not even be able to afford sending it.and then we are made
aware that these ministers are living in mansions, driving expensive cars.
flying on private planes, and at times supporting their entire families on what
is sent in faith.yes, they should be allowed to support themselves, but must
they do so , in such a lavish style?
Mar 15, 2010 @ 12:42:49
They are not spreading the gospel. They only want money. This dumbed down society makes me sick! Wake up! Let’s call a spade a spade and strop trying to be politically correct. If I make enemies voicing the truth tough nuggies! Jesus was not popular by telling the truth. Most people cannot stand the truth so they live in denial.
Dec 16, 2009 @ 00:25:59
The sad thing is, that these “paracites” are reading all these responses and are laughing all the way to the bank, beacause they know that no matter how loud we get about their “conning, lying, cheating, decieving” ways, they know that out of 300 million people, there is an endless supply of “simple kind hearted” folkes who will gladly send their $$$$ to these thieves, because they showed some poor child in Africa needing food….Oh how I hope God would simply shut these people down…..it might be happening!!! In light of the weak financial times whish we find ourselfs, have you all notised how these “ministries” are seemengly getting desperate, now we see these people coming on tv alone, and begging for more money beacause they are facing some “deadline”….or else……THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD HAS BEGUN TO SWING!!!
Mar 23, 2010 @ 17:58:08
Yes, I have seen more desperation because I have just seen Monkey Murdstone, I mean Monkey Murdock and Rod Parsley asking for $8,500.00 dollars instead of $1,000.00. That’s a big jump! Like I said before, I hope the IRS pulls the plug on their tax exemption. All TV evangelism should be stopped and I mean ALL. These evil men stare into the camera and openly beg go to your phone now! Don’t delay. Delayed obedience is disobedience! Go NOW! I’d like to crash my fist right through the tv screen! I’ve learned that there are people who stand outside of Joel Osteen’s church with signs warning people of his “hot tub” christianity but no one takes notice. They go right in and hear him say this is your day and all that bull. I was taken in by Child Reach. I don’t give to any charities because of all this crookedness. If I give it will have to go right in the person’s hand that I’m helping. Also, Larry Jones of Feed the Children. He’s crooked too. He used to be a professional athlete. He is trying to clean up his sullied reputation.
Mar 23, 2010 @ 18:31:28
Did anyone ever see the guy that’s usually with the Cerullos. He looks like Captain Kangaroo. I think his name is Steve something or other. He stands there and says yes, yes. The Cerullo guy and his wife are always in Israel and peoples’ money are probably paying for them. I think Joyce Meyer is running a close second to Bill Gates monetarily. I never saw her in the same outfit twice. She makes Vanna White look like a deralict by comparison. I think Monkey Murdstone, I mean Murdock, isn’t that a villenous name Murdock? I think he tries to tone down the jewelry. Notice he wears no rings. Only a watch. Probably an expensive one, though.

What hurts most about the criticisms and judgements that are discerned and revealed to be true, is that there Are some churches’ i.e. ‘Bodies of Christ’ that Are TRUE to the mission statement of Christ found in Matthew 25:31-46 and Matthew 28:18-20. Our Prayer is that people will SEE what Christ has told and taught us to do more than what we ‘say’. This hurts the body at large when people who have a great desire to give to those in need no longer want to. People want and have the right to see where and what their money does in our Communities! I pray some one is touched by this reply…there is so much to do in ministry and our Church lives also on the promise found in Philippians 6:1. If you’re ever in the West Phila. Area come and look us up, we are small but are tremendousy impacting our community with giving free food, once a month, operating a soup-kitchen once a week, praying and helping all of God’s creation to see the light of Christ’s Love in us, as He draws people to himself by being consistant and faithful to His call. Peace and Blessings for His Provisions for His continued fullfillment of His vision and will…”is that no one to be lost…” Pas. “WC”

Thanks for your comments and the invite. If I’m ever up that way, I’ll look you guys up.
Jun 26, 2010 @ 17:58:15
Thank you Pastor WC. We as believers have to be blessed so we can be a blessing for these communities and the ultimate goal is WINNING SOULS. How can you provide food for the hungry, clothing for the naked and shelter for the homeless MONEY!!! It costs money!!! Thank GOD for provision!!! Very good post.
Bloggers refer to II Corinthians 9:6-15

I read somewhere it was believed that the photo of Coontz’s ministry on his website was possible photo shopped. Well, I live about 25 miles from there and just had to know for myself. So I made a quick run by. Yes, IMHO the photo on his website with the BIG Rockwealth Ministries International is indeed photo-shopped. His headquarters is actually in a strip mall with a liquor store just a couple of doors down. Hell, he probably owns the whole deal, including the liquor store….Bastard, I hope he rots in Hell!!
Apr 06, 2010 @ 20:13:51
Boy! I sure with I could buy stock in stupidity! I’d be more wealthy than Bill Gates! Wake up people! You cannot buy a miracle!
The only real preacher on TV was Herbert W. Armstrong. He wanted no money at all for any of his teaching, which was always from the Bible.
He is dead now and they tried to shut down his publications. There was a six year court battle, I believe and the people that filed suit won. His publications are still there for the asking for free.
Apr 11, 2010 @ 17:11:44
I just watched this so called “Pastor” ask viewers to sow a $100.00 seed into his “Ministry”. Then he said that if we use a bank card or credit card, that God would do something with our credit. I have said it before to people, and will say again that we need to stop listening to people like Coontz, Jakes, Meyers, White, Long, Osteen, Hinn, and the rest of these pimps, and pick up our Bibles and let God guide us. In response to others that say we are wrong and to “not touch God’s annointed”; the fruit of these individuals will expose them for who they really are. So have already been exposed. God Blessings to you all.
Apr 13, 2010 @ 07:26:06
I just want to say, we, as a body of Christ, really need to be serious about Bible reading and understanding the balance of scripture so that we can spot greedy preachers, false doctrines, etc. I am watching Brother Coontz on TV, and he does sound a little Mike Murdock. Now, in this message, (and this is the only one I’ve heard) I haven’t heard him say anything that is wrong. His Word blessed me. And I am a person who keeps a hawkeye (or tries to) on money preachers. People need to understand that giving to a ministry is to be led by the Holy Spirit. That individual needs to be preaching the Gospel. And there are many who don’t preach the Gospel.
I was seriously against anyone who taught prosperity, but I was wrong. Prosperity for a believer is not wrong. However, it should not supersede the Gospel, righteous and holy living, or commitment to family. Prosperity is NOT based on giving your money to a preacher, but it is a blessing that comes through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. And financially assisting in the preaching of the Gospel is commanded of believers. A preacher who preaches for free should do that not as a boast, but as a PERSONAL decision. The Bible says “the worker deserves his wages.” Now, I ain’t talking about an individual who gets up in the pulpit and tries to get people excited about messages of flesh, as they run up and put money in his hand. I’m talking about a church where Jesus Christ is lifted up, as we exalt him through our faith and testimony of what he did for us at the cross, and FROM IT we reap blessings of peace, joy, righteousness, unlimited grace, domestic, spiritual, and financial blessings. I think we as a church have teetered too far on both sides of prosperity. 1) Broke is holy. 2) Rich means I’m holy. lol No, we ought to trust in Christ and him crucified FOR ALL THINGS. Not all of us will be millionaires. Think SEEKING millionaire status is stupid. But to prosper in business and finances is a blessing from God, but again it ought not supersede the preaching of the Gospel. “And Jesus answered and said, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundred times now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.” Mark 10:29-30
We need not think we are so holy that we cannot prosper. If the preaching of the cross (the message of grace and faith through the shed blood of Jesus Christ) goes out, blessings will follow. If you choose not to reap financial blessings, so be it. But dear brothers and sisters, let us be discerning what preachers we listen to, and judge every sermon against the Word of God. Some preachers are just after the money. Don’t let a preacher tell you that a specific amount is gonna make God bless you. That’s not biblical. What is biblical is that Jesus said “And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” So, let’s be discerning.
May 14, 2010 @ 16:27:35
Here is discerning. If I said to you: send me $1,000.00 and you will receive an hundred fold and you did not get anything and then one year later I asked you for another $1,000.00 and told you “identify your seed” and then you will get your return, but give me another $1,000.00 with expectation of your return, what would you think? I know it’s hard but THINK! He and his kind are garbage. Did not Jesus violently dispossess the garbage that was cluttering up the temple? Well? Ya think?
Apr 19, 2010 @ 06:38:49
I just left the ministry for reasons no one would care about. However, as a former pastor, I would like to say that guys like Coontz, swaggart, Hinn, Murdock, and countless others are nothing but charlatans and give true men of God a bad name. Their constant calls for money and their lack of gospel calls and care for the fallen race of man proves they know nothing of the love,passion, and cause of Christ. They surely will burn in HELL! Damn them to hell every last one of them.
Jun 10, 2010 @ 13:13:03
Spongebob….Amen to that! The story of the rich man and the poor man both dying and the rich man goes to hell while the poor man went to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man pleads with God to send someone to warn his seven bothers on earth to do the right thing so they don’t go there, but he is told in no uncertain terms NO! Your brothers had the prophets and did not heed, they will not heed anyone or anything else. (the someone else escapes my memory) but I do remember he was told no. The situation stands because there is a great chasm fixed between them and he cannot cross. So yes, God wants all to come to repentance, but what about that story? Some will never, unfortunately. I agree with you. They should rot in hell. False hope and false doctrine are evil and they are so entrenched in it that their conscience’s are so dead that one million years from now they will still be doing the same thing.
Apr 22, 2010 @ 19:32:33
Okay, this is the deal. I think Coontz is despicable. I will try and post a pic of his ministry headquarters. The one on his webpage doesn’t quite match reality. I only live approx. 25 miles from his location in Aiken, SC. IMHO the one on his website is photoshopped. You can see the pic I’m referring to if you go to his site @rockwealth.org and click on CONTACT US in the upper right. I will go by soon and take a pic of what the reality is. My intent is to show how the deception never ends. If he’ll fudge on a little, he’ll fudge on a lot. I can’t stand anyone who tries to paint a picture that they are something they are not.
Apr 22, 2010 @ 23:37:27
Mikey,
Are you a Christian? If so, how can you say you hope anyone rots in hell? I understand if you are not a believer and are angry at these televangelists for taking in people, but if you are a Christian and know what the Bible says about hell, how can you wish anyone goes there? Especially since you also know you deserve it.
May 06, 2010 @ 21:37:54
Luke,
Whether or not I’m a Christian is irrelevant. No, I don’t literally want anyone to rot in hell. But, the Bible has all the requirements for avoiding it (Hell). I don’t make the rules. So, is it really wrong to wish for the fulfillment of something that the Bible says will happen to certain people? IMHO, from what I read in the Bible, Todd Coontz WILL bust hell wide open. IMHO he has absolutely no fear of the Lord. He’s just another smooth talking shyster that takes pleasure in being able to separate people from there money. I know I keep using IMHO, but you know what???? That’s all it is. My little opinion doesn’t mean a hill of beans at the end of the day. Todd Coontz is what he is and that won’t change….
May 06, 2010 @ 21:54:25
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
See, God is not willing that any should perish, and yet you are.
You said you hope he rots in hell, where as God calls him to come to Him for forgiveness. And we should have the mind of Christ and desire the same things as God.
God bless!
May 13, 2010 @ 20:06:51
Anyone that blasphemes the Holy Spirit should rot in hell! Did not Jesus say blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not forgiven? That’s just what these evil things are doing on TV. Mike Murdock prays to the Holy Spirit. You are not supposed to pray to anyone but God the Father. When Paula White sits there and says verbatim that she, herself is being spoken to by God and telling people to give money, to me is a bona fine crime which deserves prison here and in hell. These people know better and they just don’t care. How can they hurt God after the kindness he has done for us? If you think it doesn’t hurt God, think again. Not only are they hurting people, they are grieving God. Remember, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
May 14, 2010 @ 04:26:01
Shirley…I think the guy you are referring to in a previous post (the fellow that hangs around with the Cerullo’s) is Pastor,cough, cough, Steve Munsey. He is the guy that looks like Captain Kangaroo with a dead cat sittin on top of his head. He is so evil he can barely look into the camera. Same old message that the rest of these so called ‘men of God’ throw out there….nothing but fleecing the sheep for their own gain with very little going to help others. You said it well with the line about the fear of the Lord being the beginning of wisdom and they certainly have no fear and little wisdom.
I used to get real angry watching these folks and wondering how they could sleep at night and then one day while reading the Bible I came across this in 1Tim 4:1-2 (1)”Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons (2) speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron” So there you have it….these folks can’t help themselves and they can’t see the harm they cause. I now actually feel sorry for them as they are blind to what they are doing….like I said before, the sad part is that people like Paul Crouch, Marcus Lamb, David Cerullo, the Summeralls…etc. that own these Christian broadcasting companies could be doing so much good to spread the real Word of Jesus but instead have on this constant parade of fund raiser’s like Mike Murdoch, Todd Coontz, Steve Munsey, Ken Copeland, Mike Smalley, Paula White, Perry Stone and the list goes on and on….very sad
Jun 02, 2010 @ 17:58:45
Realdeal: Very well said. I’m familiar with the scripture you are referring to. I had forgotten about that. In the latter days people will be lovers of money and self instead of lovers of God and brotherly love. I read it in the Bible myself.
Todd Coontz now talks about the Fed Ex and UPS trucks just dropping off checks at his house because he has God’s “favor”. He claims the trucks come every day and deliver them. He doesn’t say who is sending them to him. My husband will not even allow me to laugh at them on TV. He turns the TV off.
There is a show called It Is Written with Shawn Boonstra. We like it. Also, we like Key Of David. We just read the Bible for ourselves and ask God for insight. It’s good to know there are people out there that are sincere in their love for God.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 02:50:09
Hahaha….yeah Shirley I saw that show where ‘Dr’ Coontz said that. He even said the Fed Ex person got to know him so well that they would give him a personal call when he had a delivery and he was out of town…Wow…is that service or what. He must be really raking in the big bucks for Jesus…lol….
As you and your husband, I have seen and like the ‘It is Written’ show with Shawn Boonstra. One I remember that I enjoyed is the one where he had a fellow on that portrayed different characters from the Bible. It was very well done and very interesting. I haven’t seen ‘Key of David’ yet thou but I will watch out for it.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 11:30:41
These guys love to appear on each other’s shows for cross promotional reasons and to lend legitimacy top each other’s “ministries.” Munsey goes on Hinn, who wears $2k suits and lives in a multi-million dollar house (owned by the church…how many people could be saved and fed with that money?), and he starts telling these stories of what the Lord told him…now is the time to sow, 7 fold returns, etc., and Hinn sits there and pretends they didn’t rehearse this beforehand. “Wow! Precious angels, this is truly a revelation!”
Coontz re-runs the same stupid show asking for $1k from 1000 people, and the other magic number is $100, even if you need to go into debt to give it. It is always that story of the loaves and the fishes. He really is a Murdock clone. They never say go and sow it into your local church or go and feed the poor, clothe them, etc. It is always send it to them, and they will handle the rest. Only once did I hear Lindsay Roberts (Oral’s daughter in law…Richard’s 2nd wife) say to sow into a local church if you didn’t sow into theirs…and I watch these guys on purpose just to hear how often they work giving money into every single “sermon” (these people hardly ever preach.)
Marjoe Gortner made an Oscar winning documentary in the 70s in which he reprised his role as a fire and brimstone preacher (he was famous as a child for doing this in his father’s ministry) and showed how preachers “fleeced” their “flock.” He showed the behind the scenes and everything that went into getting people to hand over their money in the name of their faith. Nothing has changed since then, except the ability to reach more people and make more money through TV and internet.
Watch BET early in the morning and see these people do their thing. Ever see “Master Prophet” Bishop E Bernard Jordan? This guy and his “prophets” take the cake. Pure scams. Bishop should be in quotes, too…dunno what church he is a bishop in.
Coontz copies Murdock, Copeland copied some other preacher (the info has been removed from the wiki page, but I recall he basically copied from some preachers tapes which one could purchase)., everybody copies Oral Roberts (Copeland worked for him)…it is a tried and true scam, wo why change it?
Olsteen, Jakes, Dollar, Meyers, Swaggart, Cerullo, Hinn, Roberts, Coontz, even Pat Robertson…they all have their agendas, and its all about making money. Saving souls is hardly ever mentioned. In these tough times the prosperity message sells better than ever.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 14:04:06
Sampdoria…Yes, and the other one Coontz loves to say is the one with the woman with the issue of blood. He twists everything around in the Bible and just try to aim it towards money. He must have paid in advance the amount of times that stupid show will air. I’ve seen it many times too. I have read in the Bible what he is referring to and it’s not at all what he’s trying to say it says. He must have one time saw how Murdock acts and makes money and figured to himself wow! I’ve got to try that! I’ll really get rich! He’s just not as cunning as his mentor. He just copies. In other words dumb and dumber. One person posted the right thing. “money on earth, fire in hell.”
Jun 03, 2010 @ 13:51:56
Realdeal…. The show Key Of David is on Sunday at 8:00 am, I believe. Yes, I saw the one on It Is Written how the man was portraying people from the Bible, for instance Judas Iscariot and Peter and the Roman soldier who became a believer. Wow! That was done really nice. Actually The Key Of David is an offshoot of a man named Herbert W. Armstrong who started Plain Truth magazine and The World Tomorrow show. His son Garner Ted Armstrong was good too. They are both gone now, but a man named Gerald Flurry took up the slack in Key Of David. There is a book Mr. Armstrong wrote, free of charge, called Mystery Of The Ages, which I have. It’s really good down to earth Bible truths. When Mr. Armstrong died, his people tried to infuse lies into his teaching, which was right out of the Bible and a big six year court battle ensued. They filed an injunction against the publication of all this free literature, but they lost. Mr. Armstrong used to bang on the desk and shout THIS NATION HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM GOD! He was sort of like a modern time John The Baptist, (if you will). He used to say BLOW THE DUST OFF YOUR BIBLE AND READ IT! Anyway, I LOL when you said the Fed Ex person got to know him personally. Even Coontz laughs and says get a hold of this and tells his abra cadabra stories. I wonder what he will make up next.Oh, yeah, did you see how Murdock says to Avanzini would you lay hands on Todd Coontz and Murdock is supposed to be talking in tongues and some guy comes over to Coontz and starts rubbing his hands and acting all kinds of pious. It is just too much! Todd Coontz gets so caught up that he starts talking backwards like instead of saying Deuteronomy he’s saying Deutoromony! My favorite crack up is E. Bernard Jordan. I call him “The Master Bater”. He calls himself the Master Prophet. These clowns are either doctors or prophets. In all seriousness, though, Jesus told us to Watch the signs of his return and the Plain Truth magazine, which is now called Trumpet, is completely free for the asking and tells world events so that we can watch what is going on and be ready when the real Master returns to this earth.
Jun 03, 2010 @ 15:52:28
Shirley, I will look into the ‘Mystery of the Ages’ and see what I get from it and also the ‘Key of David’ show. I had to laugh on your reminding me of the way Coontz gets his words twisted. Next time you listen to him see how he pronounces the word ‘real estate’….he always says rul estate. I also saw the show where Mike Murdock had Avanzini lay hands on him. That was Mr. Avanzini that was rubbing the sweaty forehead of Todd. That was so phony it was unreal. How anyone could sit there and be a part of that kind of trash is way over my head.
And to Sampdoria too, I really think that Todd Coontz has been personally trained by Mike Murdock. They have way, way to many similarities in the way they convey their lies. Once I saw Murdock and Coontz on a show that was taped in Hawaii. Coontz had what looked like an alligator bound Bible (top of the line expense wise) that Mike commented on and said how nice it was. Well, a few weeks later I saw Murdock and low and behold he had gone out and got him one. These guys have no shame when it comes to flaunting their wealth. Check it out next time you see him. I happen to catch another one of Mike’s clones on the horizon….watch for a fellow named Mike Smalley…same old tired ‘send me your seed’ message in the Mike Murdock style. I also believe the reason these guys have their own shows is because they trade their fund raising appearances for these different networks for air time. I could be wrong but I bet that’s what happens.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, for 4 days , Inspiration network kept repeating Murdock and Coontz over and over. It was sickening and offending to me that David Cerullo would allow that on such a weekend. Of course David Cerullo is nothing more than a accountant /book keeper and his only knowledge of the Bible( it would seem ) comes from his Dad, Murdock, Munsey, Coontz, Stone…etc.
Jun 05, 2010 @ 20:28:46
Realdeal….Yup! I’ve heard him say rulestate and then he trips up and says my mom said son, God’s gonna bless you even more and then 20 laters, I mean 20 days later, low and behold the UPS truck delivers checks to me now too. I just crack up. Oh, there’s another one of these blogs about Paula White. Everyone on there just loves her, though. I wrote she is a phoney baloney and someone wrote back to me saying I was bitter and jealous. I said you bet your boots I’m bitter slapping our Lord in the face, but not jealous because I am blessed. You gotta see it. They simply adore her. Perry Stone tried to say on their Memorial Day weekend stint that giving them money was equal to when the Israelites had to put the blood on their door posts to avoid the death angle. He tried to say that giving them money was equal to the blood that was used. In other words, I guess, that they are equal to the sin debt being paid for us by Jesus when he shed His blood at Calvary. Since the animal sacrifices were the forerunner of Calvary. I thought wow! He better watch it. See, all scammers will eventually tip their hand and you’ll see their cards. Murdock was saying that he was at a telethon and he probably got the idea to make his show like one. First you see the entertainment, then the plea for money then the booths with desks and people manning telephones just like Jerry Lewis did with Muscular Dystrophy. What really gets me too is when Coontz talks about the five loaves and two fishes, he is telling the story all wrong. Jesus was teaching the Bible says 5,000. It becomes late in the day and, if memory serves me correctly, one of the twelve say to him, Master, dismiss the crowd so they can buy for themselves on the way home so that they don’t faint on the road. Jesus replied, you feed them, testing their faith, but he did not say bring this lad to me that had the bread and fish. He just gives thanks to God the Father and just like the water turning to wine, the basket is full. That’s it. I’m sure you’re familiar with it. These people are treading on thin ice, though. The other blog is called Paula White’s Story.
Jun 04, 2010 @ 14:29:15
I watched this absolute CROOK on Paula White the other day BRAGGING about all the checks he received from FEDEX and someone from FEDEX, he was just absolutely GIDDY about all those checks, checks, CHECKS!!!! “God REQUIRES a seed before he will create a MIRACLE.” Can you BELIEVE this joker? I’d like to plant some seeds in his you know what!
Jun 06, 2010 @ 02:23:25
Yeah Shirley, the first thing they always say is that you are either judging or are jealous of the fake preachers whenever one speaks the truth about them….I know I am not rich but feel very, very blessed by the Lord and I would never send these wolves any money to spread their false Gospel as I am sure you also feel. Paula White is another huge false preacher and one that I can barely stand listening to for more than a couple of minutes as she robs the poor and misguided. What you said that Perry Stone was telling his lies about is nothing more than a slap in God’s face and may God have mercy on him. There are so many now and they are all in it for the money lets face it. Like I said before, how many times can they run this seed, faith, harvest shell game on people before the people start getting wise to these fakes? Unbelievable!
One thing I wanted to tell you is that I found the website with Mr Armstrong’s ‘Mystery of the Ages’ book that I downloaded and believe me, I am really, really enjoying reading it. He has written a real eye opener. I am only on the 4th chapter but I am taking my time and cross checking it with the Bible and it is a very enlightening read. I thank you so much for telling me about this!! He really has come up with a lot of answers about the ‘jigsaw puzzle’ that is the Bible that seem very well thought out. For instance, I always knew there was a reason for the story of Simon the Sorcerer in the book of Acts and now he has, in my mind, shown the rest of the story so to speak. Anyway, I can’t wait to read the rest of the book and once again….Thank You Very Much!! May God bless you!
Jun 08, 2010 @ 13:06:08
Realdeal…I’m so glad to hear you found the book Mystery Of The Ages. You can also get Trumpet magazine. Just call or go on line and order a year’s subscription and it’s totally free. It shows what is going on in the world in the light of Bible prophecy. My husband was also glad you found it. He has extremely strong devotion to our Lord. He wears this little pin “The lion and the lamb.” I’m sure you know what that depicts. People always ask him what’s that? and he used to explain it, but they just seemed puzzled unless they were born again. Mostly they say oh, a lion and he just says, oh yeah that’s it. I also saw your post on the Paula White thing. Did you see those poor people trying to get in touch with her? She couldn’t care less about them. One person, well, a few said they were raped and all these awful things and asking for her help. It just made me that much angrier at them for what they are doing. One person even put a phone number. Anyway, it’s good to know there are honest people that love God. Thank you.
Jun 10, 2010 @ 16:33:28
Shirley..
Yes I did subscribe to the Trumpet and I will check it out.
Got a good laugh out of seeing the pulpit pimpette Paula White on the Benny Hinn show this week….It was a huge ‘love fest’ between those two. They couldn’t keep from lavishing praise on each other. Quite a few times Benny had to have Paula stop and repeat her spiritual revelations about the ‘seed’ that he thought were so overwhelming. And, surprise, surprise that’s all Paula could talk about was the planting of a seed to get your harvest….and then at the end ,of course, Benny had a few items for his ‘partners’ to buy. Nothing but an info-mertial to sell junk, and by junk I also include this rediculous ‘seed’ phony baloney. In my opinion, Hinn is as bad, if not worse, as the Murdock/Coontz/White bunch as he pretends to heal people in the mix….Once again, Simon the Sorcerer comes to mind….have a good day!
Jun 11, 2010 @ 18:27:20
Realdeal…..Yes, you are right. Simon the Sorcerer. That is a good analogy. Another thing is these “preachers” are telling a message about the messenger instead of telling His message. They talk only how good He is, and He is, but they don’t tell His message. I just saw Coontz saying the 70 people that Jesus commissioned he is talking to. How can that be? They must be gone by now. It’s his way of wedging in “the 70″ and start begging for money. There is a preacher named John Hagee who does talk about the Gospel, but is, I believe, money hungry. He told of a CD that you can get called “Pilgrims Progress.” It was written years ago, but now it’s in CD (a movie, of course) We got it and I cried my head off! It’s an analogy of a Christian’s walk with God and “crossing the finish line with all the pit falls.” I don’t see much of Benny Hinn, I see alot of Murdock, White, Meyer and Coontz. I read somewhere that Meyer grossed 800 million one year and that she has a golden “bathroom seat.” (if you will) Did you ever see the gigantic audience she has? There are more people at her gatherings then at any rock concert. One time I saw Paula White’s show and the camera didn’t close immediately when it should have and she made a gesture with her arm like, okay come on that’s it! Right after she was acting so sweet and charming. Just like Soupy Sales. Remember him? He used to say, back in the 1960′s, now kids, go look in your mom’s pocket book and go in the wallet, take out those green pieces of paper and mail them to me. They took him off the air for doing that, but then he kind of admitted it and was then seen on game shows and some other miscellaneous stuff on TV, but I think the kid shows were off limits to him. What ever happened to that kind of accountability? Anyway, I’m glad to have been a service for our Lord for you. I always tell my husband that someday soon we may be martyred. The Vatican is going to take control with this United Europe and led by Germany and force us to worship their way and not on the Sabbath, which I believe is really Saturday since Emperor Constantine changed it to Sunday for his own greedy purposes. I’m so glad there are people who love God in truth. Remember Pilot asked Jesus, “what is truth?” In the Bible he became alarmed and wanted to set Him free. The Bible is truly remarkable. Okay, no more rambling on. God Bless.
Jun 11, 2010 @ 20:01:21
Shirley…it is to my great pleasure that I have met you on this site. There aren’t to many folks that I meet that actually read the Bible anymore and I feel very grateful that I have met you and your husband.
Benny Hinn is on almost all the time on one of the 5 ‘religious’ networks where I am. I live in the central Sierra Foothills of California and have cable TV. I saw Paula White speaking this morning on why sowing a seed to Benny ( or her, don’t know which) would make God so happy that He would shower down prosperity and abundance, 2 words they use a lot, on you in order to show others how much you get when you give money, “He wants you to show off” were her very words. That is so far off of the humbleness of God that I couldn’t believe it! Humbleness and love are 2 of the biggest things to have…. this verse comes to mind from Luke 12:15 ‘And He said to them,”Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” Of course that is all you ever hear from ALL of them, including Mr Hagee. They always quote verses from the Bible about how much God wants to give everyone as far as prosperity and material objects go as long as you sow a seed with them. Mr Coontz and Murdock always say “You can’t buy a miracle from God” and then turn right around and tell you to sow a $1000 seed in order to get the maximum blessing from Him….what a joke! In my mind, what would be the use of, and what would one learn of life, if it were nothing but a bowl of cherries? Overcoming problems and dealing with them are part of this life in order to build your character which the Bible teaches us when you read it. Lots of places where it is taught that excessive money and material things do one absolutley no good what so ever as far as the next life goes. Anyway, hope we are not just flooding this blog with just our thoughts as I don’t know if that is what this blog is for, but I hope others read some of this before they give any money to these false teachers. God bless you and your husband

STOP POSTING HERE. All you are doing is blah blahhing against someone (who is wrong) that you don’t know, and being self righteous. Also, for some reason, I can’t unsubscribe to this thing, so I get about 3 posts a day encouraging Armstrongism.
John, can you close this thread or something. Shirley has been posting the same stuff for months, and is a member of the legalistic works salvation worldwide church of God.
Jun 13, 2010 @ 02:00:05
Luke,
I’ll see if I can figure out how to get you unsubscribed. I certainly don’t agree with Shirley’s advocacy of Armstrong heresy, but I generally approve any comments that aren’t spam. I don’t get offended when people disagree with me, but I have noticed that Shirley’s posts are all pretty much the same and seem to be posted just to advocate Armstrongism on a post not even addressing that garbage.

To all you jealous people: I’m not trying to push anything. Just the truth. You were the one who started this thing. It’s called righteous indignation! Yeah, I posted alot because I seem to have all the brains. I’m not pushing Armstrongism. If you were really born again you would not say that. I will not cast my pearls before swine again. You are not born again you are just jealous of the con artists on TV. I’m outraged because they are hurting God. Don’t worry, I will not visit this site again. Why don’t you just have my posts deleted? You don’t have to unsubscribe. You won’t hear from me again.
To Realdeal… Glad to have been a service to you. God bless you and your family. I’m not writing anymore because of obvious reasons.. DON’T WORRY I WILL NOT POST HERE ANYMORE. SO YOU CAN STOP CRYING NOW.
Jun 13, 2010 @ 21:09:35
Great! That resolves my ethical dilemma between allowing open comments and letting people spew heresy on my blog. You should spend more time studying the bible and no time reading Herbert W. Armstrong.
Jun 13, 2010 @ 23:00:33
But I see your true colours, shining through.
Of course, a real born again believer responds to criticism by declaring everyone else to be unsaved and themselves to be the only purveyor of real truth (armstrongism in this case).
You spent at least 4 months posting stuff on here in agreement with the author (Jearwood), and now that I posted that you were in error (and he happened to agree that Armstrongism is error), we are both unsaved?
Jun 12, 2010 @ 19:59:59
It’s amazing that people buy him, Mike Murdock, Morris Cerullo, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Rod Parsely, Ernest Angley, and the guy from Texas crap about sowing $ 1000 seed. It’s always a huge amount of money. They send people junk crap made in China for sending in huge amounts of money. Last year Morris Cerullo for $ 1,000 ” seed ” sent a piece of junk made in the image of the Ark of the Covenant.
Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus ever command anyone to ” sow your seed ” to get… He said to follow the Ten Commandments and gave two more. Love the Lord your God with all your mind, heart and soul. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
It’s amazing these evangelists always have this ” word of knowledge” and a direct line to God who tells them to ” plant their seed wish those ministers. ”
The word of knowledge ( as these people call it ) is never specific. They are never specific as to a name. These guys always want to pray for me.
I really believe they all meet and share secrets in how to fleece people
of their money. Todd is now telling me there’s a great anointing right now. Todd wants 1,000 people to give $ 1,000 so that he ? or whomever can get $ 1 million dollars fools send it. Even if you don’t have any money you should send $ 84 and then believe God will provided $ 100 a month for next year. Forget about rent or food, plan on giving your $ 1,000 to Todd. Can’t one give $ 1,000 to Salvation Army, a food pantry and receive the same blessing from God. Of course they can… America’s greatest evangelist, Billy Graham, never said at any time during any crusade that a person had to give a certain amount of money for God’s Blessing.
Todd, you and all of the others are fulla crap………….. I call down righteous vengeance against those who so willingly abuse the Christian believers. Your day of reckoning is coming.
Jun 12, 2010 @ 20:01:31
The guy from Texas is Rod Parsley. He always wants money too.
Jun 14, 2010 @ 11:55:30
I didn’t think that responding to a lot of opinions was wrong. I did not say anyone is in error. I am not a member of anything. I don’t know why my opinion on anything upset you so much. I am in this world and not perfect. I never said I was perfect. I meant to give information to anyone that was interested. If anyone is not interested in certain literature, which is free, then they all they have to do is ignore it. My intention was not to hurt anyone. I did not get nasty with anyone or attack anyone like I was. I responded to a lot of things because false hope hurts badly. I was only glad to see a lot of people bringing out this falsehood that goes out on TV, and yes a lot of people said things that made me laugh. I’m not judging anyone and God loves all people. I found this site by accident because I was looking up about these “go to your phone” people and try to find out why people are so fooled. Anyone can be saved if they only reach out to God. I am not what you are accusing me of, but that’s okay you have your opinion. Herbert Armstrong always told people to blow the dust off your Bible and read it. You didn’t even give me a reply, but I have no ill will towards anyone but I wasn’t told I was in error, I was verbally attacked. God planted love in my heart, but I’m still in this evil world that is controlled by the god of this world, who soon will be gone, so if I got mad that’s carnal. My intention was not to offend anyone. I’m sorry and I won’t bother you anymore. That’s not me, that’s the love God placed in me.
Jun 05, 2011 @ 22:11:14
Shirley…You spend a lot of time and energy attacking the wolves in sheep clothing, but somehow do not recognize the “beam in your own eye.” Herbert W. Armstrong, until the day he took his last breath, ran an almost Jim Jones cult. You need to enlighten yourself to how deceived and deceptive the man was, let alone how poor a biblical interpreter he was. His son, Garner Ted, finally “saw the Light,” and repented of his own doctrinal error, which was simply a rehashing of his father’s. I have family members who lost everything trying to keep up with contributing towards the Armstrong’s caviar dreams and champagne wishes.
Jun 15, 2010 @ 01:58:02
I thought when Jesus said “It is finished on the Cross the translation in Greek means Paid in full as in no balance left owning. According to Coon and Murdummy we have to keep paying an paying for the Free Favor of Grace and all things that God and Jesus freely gives because of the payment Jesus has now made. I believe I will be much richer by keeping my $1,000 in my wallet until God tell me to send it in for his glory and kingdom not for Coontz and Murdock’s kingdom of their own Thing-doms. Besides isn’t false advertising against the law?
Jun 15, 2010 @ 02:00:34
Romans 8:32
“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” Mr. Coontz it is time for a little bible lesson. Now open up your bible and read that verse over and over again you charlatan!
Jun 17, 2010 @ 08:16:09
It’s hilarious to hear biblically illiterate “Christians” defend this phony DR.
Todd Coontz (the 7-up of Doctors, that has never earned the degree he lies about). Christians need to get into the Word and turn off TBN, Dayspring, the GOD network and all these parasitic lying FALSE teachers. Cerullo father n son, Rod Parsly, Todd Coontz,John Avazini, Paula White (recently divorced and unqualified according to the scriptures) Benny Hinn (in the process of divorce) Mike Murdock (Just bought a second private jet) Paul Crouch has (2 $50 million dollar Gulfstream jets & 20 million in personal real estate) ARE HEREBY PUBLICLY DENOUNCED BY ME ON 6/17/2010 AS FALSE TEACHERS & CON ARTISTS. I ask God to smite me dead within 24 hours if these teachers are correct in their seed faith prosperity teaching.
There you go, Joyce Barrett & Sharvey if I’m alive tomorrow it will be settled these schemers on the inspiration network are bogus.
Jun 17, 2010 @ 19:11:03
This is ridiculous. While I agree with John, you can’t just go expecting God to “prove you right” by keeping you alive. In fact, it would be more of a miracle if he smote you dead for being right. You don’t prove things right by demanding a miracle of God. You prove it by the scripture.
Jun 18, 2010 @ 21:19:39
Well Craig , I’m still here alive and feeling pretty good. No chest pains, cough nothing. Make what you want of that, however you should take some of that cash you waste giving to bogus ministries and take a reading comprehension course. Never did I say anything about God proving me right. I simply did a revere of what these clowns are constantly threatening dissenters with. In fact the night of my original post Todd Coontz had just finished with his typical threat. You know the whole, “don’t touch God’s anointed.” He then talked about people like me ( that see through his type ) will be struck down for criticizing his false teaching. If you couldn’t see that my post was “tongue in cheek” then you are just a little too serious and need to lighten up.
None of the idiots I mentioned in my original post are anymore “anointed” than you or I.
Jun 19, 2010 @ 01:48:40
Whew! That was close.
Jun 23, 2010 @ 11:54:53
I have been reading these blogs and everyone is missing one Biblical fact. Malachi 3:10. If you dont like TV preachers that seems like they are only after money STOP WATCHING THEM!!!! I am watching Gloria Copeland as I am writing this blog teaching on Psalm 91. My point read the bible for yourself and see the promises of GOD. Prosperity healing and wellness IS the will of God!! Dont let a TV preacher be your bible.
Jun 23, 2010 @ 12:15:08
Over the years since I have been saved(1981)I have been very blessed by he teachings of Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Paula White and many others who teach the word of GOD with balance and simplicity. Bloggers please keep your mouth off these men and women of GOD. You will suffer for it read Matthew 7:1-5(Message Bible).. Read the word of GOD for yourself. Stop the judging please.
OH yes even Todd Coontz and Mike Murdoch forgot to mention. I have been bless by them also. Enough Said.
Jul 19, 2010 @ 19:39:45
These “men and women” are people of the god of this world. Not the God I serve. Their god is M-O-N-E-Y. Excuse you? The Fed Ex truck and the UPS truck bringing money out of the blue to Todd Coontz? a chimpanzee wouldn’t believe that stupid and immature story. I agree with the person that said he should stop his money grubbing show and do what he does best, tell fairy stories! What a laugh!
Jun 25, 2010 @ 08:47:42
Renae 2010, Make sure you send then lots of seed faith offerings so one day you can be as anointted as they are. Maybe you can be a class A con artist like the scumbags you mentioned (all false teachers). On ytube search Kenneth Copeland and you can see his $10,000,000 mansion and two $20,000,000 Citan x private jets. Search Benny Hinn ( a total heretic) while your at it. He has three homes one built with $13,000,000 donated to build a 24 hour prayer chapel. Benny said God changed his mind and told Benny to spend the donations on a mansion for himself. The Attorney General of California has opened a criminal investigation of “brother benny”. Stop being such an idiot.
Jul 14, 2010 @ 17:07:29
Good for you, Randy! My sentiments exactly.
Jun 26, 2010 @ 17:39:39
Like I said keep your mouth off of these people and PRAY for them!!! And off the record I am an idiot for GODS WORD!!!! Matthew 7:1-5 please read in Living and Amplified Bibles.
It is not wrong for GODS PEOPLE to prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers(3 John 2)read it every day. This is from GODS WORD Mr. Randy. It is a about how far you want to go…….
Next time I will have more scripture and a testimony for you on how God is blessing my life in every area of my life thanks of these preachers who dare to teach GODS WORD!!!! I still study these scriptures DAILY!!! You can say what you want. Yes I am aware of Copeland ,Meyer,Dollar,and yes the big one…Benny Hinn. I have read about how God have blessed them!!! As long they are nor highminded on what GOD have blessed them( I Tim 6:17-18 )with I see nothing wrong with this.?? What is the matter with you Mr. Randy.?? I will be praying for you that God will open your eyes to the truth.
Have a blessed day!
Renae2010
PS I hope you at least support your local church???
Jul 09, 2010 @ 19:26:26
How do you know God blessed them? Didn’t the devil promise Jesus if He would just worship him he would give Him the world? Think about it.
Apr 21, 2011 @ 05:53:52
way to go good reply seems to me its all jealousy and not knowing what they are talking about…….
Apr 21, 2011 @ 05:58:36
this reply above was meant for renae
Jun 26, 2010 @ 17:48:01
OH I will continue to give many seed offerings as GOD leads me!!! I am a great supporter of my local church. I really have to pray for all of you bloogers out there who thinks that it is wrong to give and be blessed.
Jun 26, 2010 @ 18:29:22
To the person who created this web log. I’d like to apologize to you for bogarting. Now, to the person Renae2010. They are not teaching the word of God Almighty. There is nothing to learn or glean out of the Bible from any of them. Let’s not use scripture as a weapon. They are only handing out false hope and false hope hurts. Let’s not hurl hate at each other. Let’s face it, the devil can quote scripture so let’s not do the holier than thou bit. I agree with Randy, though. Now, again, to the person that created this web log….I appreciate you letting me air myself out here and if I said anything to offend you, I didn’t mean to and you didn’t waste any minutes bringing truth to light.
Jun 27, 2010 @ 11:03:44
Like I said Shirley read the entire word and just pray. Stop judging. I cant stress it enough.
Jul 09, 2010 @ 16:41:01
Stop judging? Who’s doing that? What these “people” are up to is just a fact and anyone with brains knows it. This has nothing to do with the Bible.
Jun 27, 2010 @ 11:08:13
and Randy too. Shirley– I hope at least you give to your local church at least that(Mal 3:10). you suppose to at support them. How can you keep a church running???? I will continue to pray for you and Mr.Randy.
Jun 27, 2010 @ 17:44:13
All I can say is the devil is really on a rampage on this planet. The Bible is right. Woe to the earth and the sea for the devil has come down to you with raging anger well aware that he has but a short season.
Jun 30, 2010 @ 18:29:08
If anyone is interested, there is a web site named Jesus-Is-Savior. Just visit it.
Jul 03, 2010 @ 19:32:19
Have read your comments and I agree with all of you; the Televangelists are asking you for money and they are preaching the Word and also wanting to get wealthy off your money. You are all right; because you get what you say.
I have played slot machines; now, that is sowing money into something and I have gotten probably the same back out over a 12 year period; I have bought houses and cars with the money and paid bills; I have also parleyed the money back for another harvest.
Seed time and harvest works whether you sow it into a ministry or into the world; the parable about the talents shows that; some of you invest in 401Ks, IRAs and pension funds; does that make you a lover of money; not necessarily; you are doing something that Jesus says is good; investing to give back to the Master; how you give it to the Master is your choice;
I personally give whenever I truly hear the Holy Ghost tell me where and to whom to give; it’s all His anyway; and, I know, recently, even though I don’t have any harvest at this time, if He wants me to sow in a satellite for Paul Crouch or give a goat to a widow in Africa, He sends the seed in and it is up to me to obey; all my needs have been met and some of my wants and no I am not debt free; however,
I have extreme favor with my creditors; sometimes I pour a cup of coffee at a 711 and the clerk, I never saw in my life, says “Don’t pay, it’s on the house.” God sees me and knows my heart and God see all the ones you have mentioned and He sees their hearts and blesses them the same as He blesses us and at the Bema Seat in Heaven some stuff will burn up and the saved will enter into His Rest; if they aren’t saved, pray for them that they will get saved and God can then teach them what He wants.
Jul 26, 2010 @ 13:36:09
Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and render to God what is God’s. Our Master wants our hearts swept clean and to have a personal relationship with Him. He does not want any money. People who have let evil overtake them want money.
Jul 03, 2010 @ 19:40:03
PS: Some harvests take longer than others; and, when you talk negatively about seed time and harvest and you envy what ministers have the word says: Let not your conversation be coveteousness; be content with what you have and know I will never never leave you and I will never never forsake you (paraphrased from Hebrews 13:5); careful, you are cutting off God’s blessings to you; we are His children and He will bless us better than any person and I have no problem with rich preachers; we are all ministers and have the right to the same wealth; but, he gave to some 60, some 40, some 20 and I would like to be a 100 percenter. Love Katy

What is this web site? This is for Shirley.
Jul 04, 2010 @ 04:03:04
Jesus-is-savior.com is the website.
Apr 21, 2011 @ 06:04:16
reply to shirley you are so jealous oh how it shows
Jul 08, 2010 @ 13:29:48
Check out Murdock and the rest on U-Tube. Everyone is so hip to their style! What a laugh.
Jul 08, 2010 @ 19:08:57
The Word of God say “touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm” While everyone has and is entitled to their opinions, I would encourage us to be careful of what we say. For God tells us to let the wheat and tares grow together – meditate on the Gospel and don’t get caught up in the opinions of others. God loves us all- even the false prophets. pray for them and pray that we all are faithful, when He returns!
Aug 21, 2010 @ 18:50:23
We are told to HATE and abhor evil in the Bible. Yes, it’s true, let the wheat grow with the tares and on judgment day they will be thrown into the fire.
Jul 12, 2010 @ 19:11:31
Cry aloud! Spare not! Lift up your voice!
Jul 12, 2010 @ 20:32:46
CALL NOW! call now call now, call now! call now! call now! It’s an abomination. Nothing to get caught up in. Every time the TV goes on, there they are. You flip the channel and there they are again. How many do they need? It’s a shame because there are some sincere people. I’m not saying who because that’s religion and that’s touchy. That call now stuff is just junk and I’m not afraid to say so. I have said this on many sites too.
Jul 19, 2010 @ 20:41:37
shut up who cares is this still going on???
Jul 26, 2010 @ 13:29:24
Well, who started this? Maybe you should tell them to shut up. Why are you so hostile? Do you or do you not agree with this whole pan handling, which was illegal where I come from, thing? Who cares? People who are sincere in their relationship with God, that’s who cares. Let’s be on fire for God, not for indifference. It is a fact that Jesus will return to this earth one day, happy is that slave whom his Master finds serving and not asleep when He returns.
Jul 21, 2010 @ 00:43:56
It is obvious that few Christians have any clue as to what Grace and the statement Jesus made on the Cross “It is finished (same as paid in full)”
means.
I would suggest people who feel they have to pay God with money to receive Grace (favor) should prayerfully study Galatians and how Paul address the Judaizers of his day. They need also to fully understand Galatians 4:30 and how Jesus purposed our right to have favor and blessings for any need free of charge.
If you are not a Jew living under the terms and conditions of the OId Covenant Mosaic law then why does Coontz and his supporters feel your works and payments supersedes what Jesus payed for free for you on the Cross?
If you are giving to get rich it would be more honest to just go to Las Vegas and keep it real.

John 1:16 “From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another”.
Christians take note that the above verse reads t “out of his meaning -Jesus fullness we have received one blessing after another”, it does not say out of Todd Coontz fullness!
Jul 26, 2010 @ 13:31:00
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Jul 21, 2010 @ 01:01:17
“Judaizers is a term which refers to non-Jews and especially certain Christians, such as Jewish Christians, Quartodecimans, Ethiopian Christians, Seventh-Day Adventists and others, who claim the necessity of obedience to the Mosaic Laws which are found in the first five books of the Christian Old Testament.[1] Mainstream Christians generally consider obedience to the Mosaic Laws as applicable only to Jews. Similarly, “one who has Judaized” refers to a Christian who has accepted the necessity of adhering to the Mosaic Laws or to specific laws that are believed to be superseded, such as Circumcision or Sabbath observance. The ongoing Christian debate over Judaizing in Christianity or Biblical law in Christianity began in the lifetime of the apostles, notably at the Council of Jerusalem.”
Read Acts 15 to see there was no mention of teaching the early Gentile Churches to pay God money for a blessing.
We are under the Dispensation of Grace. When Jesus said paid in full the Covenant changed to one of Grace same meaning as unmerited favor!

Very good, Anonymous. I totally agree.

Leslie Hale called out Coontz and Murdock on a dvd teaching, he was warned by the station he is on that if he did it on the air he wouldn’t be on the air anymore.
I do think we should warn the sheep of obvious wolves.

I’d like for you to elaborate on that one, please, if you will. I’m interested in your reply only I could not fully understand what you are getting at.
Jul 27, 2010 @ 18:34:29
You americans are so gullible, so easy to fool when it comes to religion, that’s why there are so many Todd Coontzs in your country, only idiots can believe that planet earth is less than 10.000 years old, yet in spite of all the scientific evidence to the contrary more than 50% of americans believe it.
God in an illusion he only exists in the mind of idiotic people.
Jul 28, 2010 @ 19:39:40
There is a ring of truth to Americans being “dumbed down.” If Americans would stop chasing brain numbing chemicals and live up to their potential then maybe they would not be so easily fooled. My mother used to say, back in the 1960′s, that drugs are, “destroying our youth.” Without the brains and “backbone” any rogue nation will walk in and “pull the rug out.”
Yes, I agree the fossil record shows the planet to be approximately 4 billion years old. The remains of dinosaurs are not bones, but calcified remains from the actual bone because they ARE so old.
God does exist. It’s not a religion, it’s a reality. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though.
Aug 13, 2010 @ 09:23:17
Ah you non-belivers are so easy to fool. With all of the true evidence of a divine creator all around you, you’re still so greedy and vain to think man does not need his creator.
Who doesn’t see the truth lying before them; you or me? I have seen the miracles of God. God is science. Learn science well enough and you cannot escape the truth of a living God.
Mar 29, 2011 @ 19:00:40
Please explain. I do believe in the Creator. Who does not?

send me your request and I will pray for you for nothing. Don’t send me any money. You already have God’s favor by being a Christian you do not need to pay for it. If you will, support the local church you go to and give to the poor and the orphans and the widows and battered women’s shelter and yes even to the homeless that panhandle you on the corner.
I really am a man of God and I will prray with or for you for nothing. Jesus said:
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Nowhere did Jesus command anyone to charge for prayer of favor or for any healing.
I am not saying these preachers are wrong I am just saying that I am a man of God and I have a beter deal for you.
I say again I will pray for you for nothing.

I totally agree. I would only give to people really hurting. I’ve been duped for alot of money because, well, you feel sorry. I certainly was never fooled by those go to your phone people because I’m too Biblically literate. I feel that the people getting fooled are the ones in third world countries that have no access to a Bible. I was told people in the mid-west are the ones, but I’m not so sure. Of course anything’s possible. It’s amazing. The only anointed one is God. How can they say, Wow! The anointing is so strong. If you want a good laugh, go to U Tube and see these videos about Murdock and Coontz. OH, and the one called the “screaming farting” preacher. You’ll laugh your head off. There’s one called the most amazing sermon ever preached, about Murdock. I laughed so hard that I actually wet my pants. (have bladder infection) I even wrenched my back out laughing so hard. There will always be someone that will stick up for them, or at least their cronies will. Anyway, good for you for being kind to people.
Aug 13, 2010 @ 09:16:51
It took me 2 seconds to see the demons in this man “Dr” indeed. He seethes false teaching with all that “feel good” greedy-selfish teaching of nowadays. only.. ONLY Jesus can save you by you letting Him into your heart. And guess what? Jesus doesn’t charge for salvation.. it’s HIS free gift to you and me.
Aug 17, 2010 @ 14:36:11
Good for you, Desiree. How can anyone or any man or woman say they are anointed? Only God is anointed. They will be sorely punished for their crimes. I used to think I’d love to see justice done to them, but after looking over my own life and my “wrong deeds” (hurt myself not others) I don’t think I want to see our Lord’s vengeance on them. Our Lord is slow to anger, but if you push Him too far, look out! I know this in my own life. The ones I hurt were my parents, which did not deserve it. He will chastise you and it’s gonna hurt, but it is in love that He does this to wake us up. If feel righteous indignation towards them. To the one that will pray for free…that is a very nice gesture. When I see on all these news channels hurting people and crying kids and all this mess I get depressed. This world is in such chaos. I wait for the return of Jesus. Thank you for praying for us.
Aug 22, 2010 @ 03:20:11
“Touch Not God’s anointed or cause harm to the profit”. That sure gets tossed around allot today. Used to defend every low-life scumbag out there that is ripping off the church. First off the verse is in Psalms 105:15 to be exact, and lets take a look at who the anointed being discussed in this verse actually are.
It’s the JEWS folks, that’s right the Nation of Israel. The prophets being discussed are the OLD TESTIMENT PROPHETS not these modern day hucksters like Benny Hinn, Todd Coontz, Murdock, Paula White, and just about every nut on TBN and the God Network. This often quoted verse is not talking about those claiming to be a prophet today or operating under a special “anointing”. The old testament was written to the JEWS folks, the New Testament was written to the Jews that believed. Psalms 105:15 concerns the OLD testament prophets and not anyone else.
Guess what the OLD testament prophets all (every single one) had in common ? All of their prophecies came true or are clearly coming true in the final days before Christ’s return. Not one ever gave a prophetic word that failed to be fulfilled. Benny Hinn has made several real doozies on LIVE, recorded TV so there is multiple records of his repeated FALSE prophecies. One was that by 1999 homosexuality would vanish from America. God was going to kill all the gay people. Well the reality is we are witnessing GAY MARRIAGES IN AMERICA. BY BIBICAL definition BENNY is a false prophet. Many of the other mentioned modern day “prophets” have made strings of bogus prophecies, including Divorcee Paula White. Biblically these people are unqualified for the office of deacon and you biblically illiterate people send them money and defend their “ministries” (which are totally unbiblical and frauds). Shame on you lazy Christians that watch TV hucksters instead on studying GOD’S word ! You are pathetic and God will hold you to account for defending FALSE teachers & prophets.
Christ himself warns about false prophets throughout the New Testament. So who will you follow, the Christ of the BIBLE or the false christ these scammers are selling. Repent defenders of these false teachers !! Repent , turn of the TV preachers & read the WORD OF GOD !!!!

Very good Randy. Well said.
Sep 16, 2010 @ 13:26:04
Greetings to all. I’ve spent some time reading the comments, and I think we need to concentrate on the fundamentals. The founding fathers of the reformation taught the following: 1) Salvation by faith alone; 2) Salvation is a free gift purchased by the shed blood of Jesus; 3) There is one mediator between God and man-Jesus; 4) That the veneration of “relics” is superstitious and unscriptural. What do these “prosperity” preachers teach? They teach the following: 1) Salvation by works-the greater your monetary gift, the greater your faith; 2) Salvation must be purchased-that God only blesses those who give money; 3) There is more than one mediator-Give them money, and they will intercede for you; 4) Veneration of relics-Prayer cloths, holy oils, etc. Martin Luther must be rolling in his grave, and the hawkers of indulgences must be proud. Some say we shouldn’t judge-WRONG! Didn’t Jesus judge when he drove the money changers from the temple? And shouldn’t we judge those who presume to preach in God’s name to insure they are teaching Biblical truth? Shouldn’t we expose false preachers and admonish those who would mislead the flock? Those who say we shouldn’t judge usually end up being the most judgemental people of all. We need to return to what the founding fathers of the reformation taught. They were not afraid to take issue with the errors being taught in their day. They boldly stuck to the truth, and even gave their lives for it. Anyone agree?
Oct 26, 2010 @ 12:57:51
Yes! Yes! Yes! I agree. The Bible says to prove all things. This is what I can’t understand, such Biblical illiteracy. Jesus said emphatically no man comes to the Father except by Me. That means Jesus is the ONLY way in every way shape or form. We need no man to talk to God or to make a request to Him. I’ve had my prayers answered and did not send anyone any money. Why is it that people cannot think for themselves. It’s like someone pulled the plug on people’s brains. Very good Matt. I do agree.
Sep 20, 2010 @ 00:22:18
I’m not sure why as “christians” these folks are held in such high esteem? After all if God can get a donkey to get His message out why do these folks think their perch is so high? Just as “the evil one” is a conterfit to what God has planned it should come as no surprise the; White’s, Coontz’s, Hinn’s, Murddock’s ANY AND ALL of those who teache the “prosperity doctrines” are being used by “the evil one”. I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here but—”you’ll know them by their fruits”—I hope and pray you’ll find it in your heart to forgive them–after all—if not for the grace of God—they may have started out with good intentions,,,but we all know so is the road downward,,,,it’s just that,,,,money is like the grease/oil on the road in life—-what ever road you are going down money will speed up the process—GOOD n EVIL
Oct 26, 2010 @ 12:38:12
I called one day and told the person who answered the phone that what they are doing is wrong and that they will be held accountable by God Himself. Their reply was just a vague, yeah. They didn’t seem to have any feeling on the matter so I said what I said and that was it.
If they all would just apologize to God privately and make restitution to the public and not do it anymore than, I believe our Lord would forgive them, but it doesn’t look to me like they even believe. If they did believe they would be too afraid to do what they do and besides, if you do know God’s ways, you would not want to be so evil. We all slip and fall, but what they are is pure evil and yes, they are being led by the devil.
Sep 21, 2010 @ 13:51:22
It seems to me that if these creeps are capable of orchestrating God to direct miracles in peoples lives
then why doesn’t someone ask these so called men of God
to pile in a van and drive to St. Jude Hospital for Children
and cure all those poor innocent children that are going to die of cancer ??
You’ll notice that they are never on any talk shows where hosts can fire logical questions at them.
They are the lowest form of life on this planet. They are prime examples of mental illness – sociopaths.
Their actions clearly are signs that they do not believe in Jesus or God. If they did, they’d realize that what they are doing is false teaching.
I vomit all of them from my mouth.
PS: There is nothing wrong with planting a financial seed. But remember, all seeds in order to grow need futile soil. Their soil is sterile. St. Judes soil is rich in nutrients. Plant your seed there !!!
Oct 01, 2010 @ 01:33:57
One of my closest friends is his nephew and he’s brought Coontz up a few times and he sees him as an embarrassment. This guy lives in my hometown and he lives in the priciest neighborhood, his son gets new $2000 golf clubs every year, and also his original business tanked (Coontz Investments-1st office caught on fire…that tells u something). I’m all for religion but this fraud makes Christians look baaad
Oct 10, 2010 @ 18:06:10
Murdock and Coontz do not speak to loving your neighbor
or becoming a better person. They use God as an excuse
to create their own personal wealth.
How can you justify leaders of these scary groups living in $12,000,000 homes ?? These people never had a wage paying job. They are leeches, parasites.
It violates total logic, that if you send them your hard earned money, that they have the ability to direct God to see that you a greater amount.
It’s because of these guys that they have distorted the whole concept of God. If you listen carefully to their pitch, you will detect that they are trying to establish themselves as your deity in order to direct your thinking to follow what they say.
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN PLANTING A SEED ??
THATS GOOD. But remember for the best results, a seed must be planted in good soil. So, send your money to St. Jude hospital to help cure innocent children riddled with cancer. I’m sure God will look upon that with greater favor rather then giving to Murdock and Coontz.
I ask them to expand on the story about a young Jesus throwing about the money changers from from a temple ?? Bet they won’t touch that one !!!
Oct 26, 2010 @ 12:30:47
Mr. Hudson……I couldn’t have said that better myself. My sister lives in Texas and she told me that the people there are somewhat, well, for lack of a better phrase, not too bright. Maybe those people are sending in money to these grubbers. Yes, I believe that Coontz is becoming more desperate because I heard him say….don’t give your money to your local church, GIVE IT TO ME! He was all worked up jumping around like an idiot. I feel that his money supply is dwindling so what he may do is instead of buying the new jet plane model, he’ll start going to the “death man” like he preaches you shouldn’t have to and it will be an eventuality that he will go broke trying to keep up with Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. Murdock brags that he only uses his credit cards as a source of identification. Mr. Hudson, “I take my hat off to you!” Good job.
Oct 11, 2010 @ 19:51:08
I think this site kind of fell off. People….go on U Tube and see all the truth about these pieces of garbage. Let me enlighten thee of “seed, time and harvest.” It merely means that if there were no polar shift of the planet, then only one belt or zone would be able to plant and reap a harvest, but because God made the polar shifts the northern and southern hemispheres can have a growing season in their turn. Of course the polar regions must exist along with the oceans to maintain warm and cold around the whole planet. Saline content is important too. (referring to the oceanic conveyor belt). Coo coo coontz and Monkey Murdock are too stupid to realize this so they made up that whole seed, time harvest to line their pockets. Filthy pigs, they are!!!! The only thing I want to plant is my foot ………!!!!!!

sorry
Oct 14, 2010 @ 16:36:21
This morning, 10/14/10 i caught Mr Coontz on the BET channel at 5am.
This was probably the 2nd most pathetic plea he has made. he was telliing tv audience that God told him to ask for 70 people to send in $1000 and that this people would recieve windfalls of miracles.
i can’t tolerate more then 7 mins of his whining for money of which i have to change channels and watch MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. Al Bundy makes sense then this guy.
I believe that when he runs low on cash he pumps up his efforts to get some cash flow pouring in. how does his wife deal with his antics ??
ALSO, I HAVE A SUSPICION THAT THINGS MIGHT NOT BE GOING TO WELL FOR HIM.
HE IS NOW MIMICKING MUDOCKS WORDS OF ” GO TO THE PHONE ” ROUTINE ALONG WITH THE GUILT COMMENTS ABOUT OBEYING GOD’S COMMANDS.
these guys amaze me. don’t you wonder what they snicker about when they get together for monthly card game which is probably a command from God.
Oct 19, 2010 @ 16:13:59
Obediance is the only proof of Faith.” “Father I told them what you told me to say.” I had to listen to that again on the DVR to see if I heard it right. Well we certainly want to be obediant to God so I better not delay in getting to the phone to call in my pledge. It’s no wonder some call Christians hypocrites when they watch this kind of stuff.
Nov 01, 2010 @ 20:02:01
You know it too!!!
Oct 20, 2010 @ 19:09:07
Notice Coontz call his “infomercial” financial solutions. Solutions is plural yet the ONE and ONLY solution for your problems is to send him your cash.
I can’t stop laughing at this vulture. Calls his “ministry” Rockwealth International and it’s home base is the booming, internationally known town of Aiken, South Carolina?!?!?! You can’t make up comedy like this.
Oct 26, 2010 @ 12:48:16
Oh, did you see he gets money from the Fed Ex and UPS companies. They just send him their money because God said show Todd Coontz favor. Our Lord trips him up because he says and it’s always 24 hours later, that the Fed Ex truck showed up. He says 24 laters, and Deuteromony and he knew he wasn’t his father David, well I know I’m not Kim Novak, and he had inficiencies and idocincricies. It’s laughable! He’s so illiterate. If I was his mother or wife I would disown him. In his old shows he is kind of normal weight, but now after all his ill-gotten gains, he is fat as a horse! He swings his head around while talking like a baseball bat. They all just babel and drone on and on. I never knew so many people could be so easily bamboozeled. Coontz and his cohorts are pure garbage. What angers me is they keep saying that son or daughter will come back and if you are a parent with a wayward child you’re desperate. That’s kicking someone when they’re down. Just intolerable.
Oct 28, 2010 @ 23:14:19
I watch Todd and Mike from my satellite pay Tv from Ghana West Africa through Daystar Television and i strongly believe they are real and not conmen.personal views may differ but they aint conmen..lots of people have experienced true touch from God via these men and i can boldly say i am one.
May God bless them and all you people in America.

Nov 06, 2010 @ 19:16:06
I believe that thee Unhonorable Murdock advised thee Unhonorable Coontz to add the prefix ‘Dr ‘ to his name.
After all who are ‘WE’ to question a ‘Dr’ ???
This guy is a ‘pigment’ of his own imagination. I would like to advise everyone to email VIACOM who now owns BET. Go to their web page.
As for the subject of all the ‘good’ they do, did you ever notice that countries they say they support are 3rd world ?
Kinda makes it difficult to verify doesn’t it ?
I just do not understand why the FTC hasn’t stepped in to expose and close these guys down. FTC, I believe is to protect consumers against fraud. But I guess it’s OK operating under the shield of GOD because no one wants to be the one to attack that subject. In my mind, fraud is still fraud. If these guys make such outrageous accusations then the FTC should be able to verify their accusations.
The FTC would never allow any known crook to be operating a PONZI scheme to buy TV time to try and recruit more investors. Thats because fraud is illegal.
I wonder if the windows in Coontzs’ car is tinted so residents of Aiken SC don’t recognize him.
Nov 08, 2010 @ 20:42:04
I bet they are blacked out. Murdock lurks into the camera like he’s in a drunken stupor. That stupid Coontz tries to imitate that. God tripped him up in that last stint he did about the Fed Ex and UPS miracle. He goes….24 laters, I mean 24 hours later. I can’t believe these legitimate companies just give that idiot money. Benny Hinn now, I think, has his own network the Benny Hinn Network. Did you see that “praise-a-thon? I call it the beg a thon! Tee Hee!
Seriously, accountability went out the window along with morals. I’m glad my parents are not around to see this mess. Grant you I miss them terribly. Yes, it is very difficult to fight because our Constitution has an Amendment which I’m not sure which one, but it says “freedom of religion.” I feel the government should stop their tax exemption “mink blanket.” I’m gonna try your suggestion.
Nov 10, 2010 @ 20:42:22
I just wonder if UPS or FED EX officials know of this vulture, a.k.a. Todd Coontz and how they would feel about their company names being used by Coontz in his fraud. Love how Coontz says he gets calls from FED EX saying I know you’re not home now Dr. Coontz but I have another package for you!
I’ve NEVER gotten a call from FED EX or UPS telling me I have a package for you, they just show up at your door, correct? I guess customer service is just so much better for a “man of god”. Love also how Coontz says he almost goes into convulsions and nearly hyperventelates when passing a FED EX or UPS hub because they keep sending him big checks! Never says why the money was sent to him other than someone gave him favor. Coontz should definitely take his show to the Comedy Channel because that’s where it belongs. (Actually there is no place for thieves like these ROTTEN TV preachers except for a special place in hell.)
Nov 13, 2010 @ 22:48:02
Somebody help me !!!! With the negative press all these guys get, why doesn’t the ‘good’ guy evangelists pounce on them ? They have got to be aware of their blatant ridiculous claims
and unscrupulous pilfering of peoples pockets.
I don’t see or hear anyone attempting to protect the ‘flock’. Where is the leadership ?
They should be deemed just as dangerous if they make no effort. Christian souls have absolutely no one to go to to ask for help, to ask for protection from evil
Where is the spinal cord of Christians to fend off evil ?? I more I think of it the more disgusted I get towards all of them.
The God they purport to represent is NOT the same God I praise. At the very core it is apparent they are all allergic to Gods true spirit.
Remember, we are not bound by Murdocks 7 laws and delayed obedience is NOT disobedience. It’s call CAUTION.
BY the way, early this morning I caught Danny Davis handing out miracles like popcorn.
One man claimed he had 7 broken vertebrae and was in terrible pain. Doctors couldn’t help him.
But Danny Davis can. He gave a big hug, lifted him up and set him back down and PRESTO !!
He was instantly healed. No more pain and I’m sure he’ll be training for the Olympics !!
I guess at the rate this guy is going, there will be no need for doctors or hospitals.
COME ON YOU GUYS, LOAD UP A BUS FULL OF YOU AND GET OVER TO ST. JUDES HOSPITAL AND CURE THOSE HELPLESS CANCER RIDDEN CHILDREN.
Nov 15, 2010 @ 21:42:09
The reason no other TV evangelist goes after them is because, although they mix some truth with other things, they all are after one thing..money. The reason they are untouchable is because, like I said before, it is in the constitution …..Freedom Of Religion. It only takes four people to start a “religious group” and be legitimate in the eyes of man’s law. Only God will fix their wagons. Their destruction will be swift, says the Bible. We don’t need any man teaching us, just read the Bible or better yet, we have the Bible on DVD and only have to listen. I agree about they should be helping hurting children. They can’t, though, because they are fake and only want money. It keeps me up at night and eats at me big time. I wish someone could wave a magic wand and stop all that horror. It hurts me extremely to see them acting like they are healing people and chucking canes and walkers because I know it’s a fake and they are handing out false hope. There is nothing sadder than a poor defenseless hurting child. I find solace in what the Bible says, Jesus promises to return to planet Earth and make a new heaven and new earth with no disease or crying or pain. He makes all things new. I wait for that. There are no morals anymore. Things are alot different than when I was much younger. I never thought I’d live to see the day all this would happen, but Jesus said, don’t think it strange when you see all these things. But like you said, I think of those things too. Why don’t they help these children and not only them but the poor parents that hearts are torn out too. Believe me, I’ve spent alot of time crying my guts out over these things, but I’m only one person, I do what I can.
Nov 22, 2010 @ 01:54:29
Please stop using Scripture to justify bad behavior. “touch not my anointed” is an Old Testament directive concerning kings and prophets of Israel. It literally meant that no one should physically harm them because God chose them to protect the Jews from their enemies. David did not harm King Saul when he could have killed him when David had him cornered in a cave, but he did speak out against Saul’s disastrous policies. There is no Scripture that prohibits speaking out when leaders make inadvisable decisions.
I have been an ordained minister for over three decades. I believe in accountability. Pastors and other Christian leaders are servants not autocrats. They do not have immunity from being challenged or criticized when they mistreat others or misrepresent the Scriptures.
Christians leaders are to show humility and accept constructive criticism to check their tendency to ‘rule over’ God’s church instead of ‘serve’ it! I do not think the cause of Christ is advanced when preachers live lavish life styles. For me the rule of thumb is to live at or just below the average income of the church I serve. Being a leader is hard enough without having to deal with accusations of extravagance and living in a higher social class than the people you serve.
Serving Christ should never be used for personal gain. The majority of the hero’s of faith down through the centuries died without huge estates. George Muller the nineteenth century evangelist and philanthropist raised millions of dollars to feed and house orphans but died penniless. He understood what it meant to to ‘walk by faith’! If most of these ‘prosperity teachers’ had to live like George Muller they would run kicking and screaming from the ministry because they would view themselves as failures. The twenty first century church could learn something from failures like George Muller.

“Nothing leaves heaven until something leaves the earth”. “Triple favor” “Enter into a covenant with you” “Uncommon seed/uncommon harvest” When you hear any of these catch phrases hold on to your wallet. One of the funniest one’s that I have heard from “Dr” Murdock is a “Boaz blessing” It means that every time God blesses Murdoch he blesses you.
Also I was watching this man of God Dr Coontz give his testimony about how God got him out of his financial problems. He went into a flower shop with no flowers and the owner asked him to manage his money. First of all putting aside the issue of some one asking a total stranger to manage his money how much money is a flower shop owner who can’t keep his shop stocked with flowers going to have ?
Another thing to listen for is when these thugs tell about how they “broke the back of poverty” with a thousand dollar seed. What the hell does that mean anyway? I was shocked to see Marcus Lamb tell people on their telethon that if you only pledged 50 dollars to Daystar you only wanted a “bandage blessing” where as if you pledged a thousand dollars you would get the whole blessing. What the hell is a “bandage” blessing? Also fifty dollars is a lot of money for some people. I think brother Marcus has forgotten that.
Also I have seen this crook Coontz talk about Fedex and UPS trucks bringing checks to his house month after month. He gets excited every time he sees a Fedex truck. He said this on Paula White’s program.
I just can not believe some off the things that come out of the mouths of these “men of God”. Telling widows to get that money that they might be hiding between their mattresses. You got to be kidding me !!!.
You know what would shock me and knock me to the ground? If one of these thugs said that “God told that there is a woman who is going to call in the next few minutes wanting to pledge fifty dollars. But God also told me that she is a widow who just lost her husband and is now raising three children on her own. Instead of accepting her pledge God told me to bless her with a thousand dollars to help her with the children”. Am I wrong in holding my breath waiting for this to happen? How come every time they “hear” Gods voice it only tels them how much money people should sent them and not the other way around ?
Any way those are just some of my thoughts. I hope I
I am a Christian but these people are an embarrsament. E

“Nothing leaves heaven until something leaves the earth”. “Triple favor” “Enter into a covenant with you” “Uncommon seed/uncommon harvest” When you hear any of these catch phrases hold on to your wallet. One of the funniest one’s that I have heard from “Dr” Murdock is a “Boaz blessing” It means that every time God blesses Murdoch he blesses you.
Also I was watching this man of God Dr Coontz give his testimony about how God got him out of his financial problems. He went into a flower shop with no flowers and the owner asked him to manage his money. First of all putting aside the issue of some one asking a total stranger to manage his money how much money is a flower shop owner who can’t keep his shop stocked with flowers going to have ?

Feb 10, 2011 @ 21:00:56
Very good! Yeah, why don’t they say they are gonna help some poor person and their children with a gift of $1,000.00 instead of the other way around? How come no one else sees that fact? I wouldn’t give them anything if my very life depended on it. I thought that pan handling was illegal. That’s what they are doing. Boy, how things have changed.
Dec 01, 2010 @ 07:36:38
Sorry about the double post. Hope it still makes sense. The second one is the one I intended to post.
Dec 07, 2010 @ 19:45:36
I like to call Koontz “Murdock lite”. Hes kind of a junior protege. He needs to work on his sneer, though…Murdock’s sneer is absolutely first class. Kind of like George Hamiltons tan. Koontz hasnt mastered the “get up from your recliner and go to the phone” line yet but I’m sure hes working on it. Oh and that $1,000 that Mike told me would always be $1,000 if i kept it? Well I choose not to “give it to my future”. Bought 500 shares of Ford with it and its now worth about $9,000. Is that a Boaz or just me? LOL..you have to admit that Mike and Todd are REALLY funny, and when leggy Paula has them on carrying on about “seed and harvest” while she nods along..its really, really entertaining. You want to do something with a few spare dollars? Most food banks this year are in desperate straits…and our troops overseas and their families need our help. Benny, Paula, Todd, Mike, Morris etc all have enough BMWs and Benzs. Put your money where it will do some good.
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:51:12
Excellent. LOL. Murdock looks like that evil Chucky doll in the movie Child’s Play. Very good reply. LOL
Yes, food pantries are hurting.

We know, if Jesus said that He would build His church, that Satan would surely erect a chapel next door. These deceivers are but one “denomination” in the network of false teachers used by Satan to bring discredit to our Lord Jesus Christ and his body of believers (along with the bible-denying liberals, papists, cults, etc.). I believe that the work being done by these people of the so-called “church” is more destructive then anything being done by those not claiming to be Christians. They’re leading the goats and taking their money, and dragging the name of Christ through the mud all the way to the bank.
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:47:52
Very good. Well said. Our Lord must be hurt because He wants All to come to repentance. Good reply.
Dec 09, 2010 @ 18:22:25
I have great news for all the believers. Our boy Todd is offering huge discounts to purchase limited edition miracles. Yes, you heard me right. About 5AM this morning, God spoke to me – by the way Todd, God speaks to me too – God said to wake up and turn on my TV. I did. To my surprise – well not really much of a surprise – there’s the Man of God telling people that the first 300 people to plant a seed for $130 will be part of the Gideon 300. Must be time to buy his kid a used Lexus – $39,000. It’s important to point out here that those who become part of this ‘one time’ offering will receive 7 days of favor.
I had to hold myself back – sometimes I’m an easy mark – but with XMAS around the corner I have to allocate my funds in other areas.
But what really changed my mind was once again, God spoke to me – i’m really lucky, twice in one day – God advised me not to do it, and his advice didn’t cost me a dime. I
I wonder if times are getting tougher for the ‘Todd Man’ that he needs to offer less expensive miracle packages. Well, I might say ‘GOD BLESS YOU TODD’
but somehow I’m not authorized to speak on behalf of God.
Dec 18, 2010 @ 07:35:30
Todd, as God, I AM NONDENOMINATIONAL !!! None of you have the right to lay claim to miracles that only I can make happen !!
My universal presence and power is not to be dictated by you. It is humanly immoral for you to tell others what to expect from ME just because you try to make them feel guilty about sending money to your ministry.
Your insatiable taste for worldly possessions is objectionable solely because of the tactics you and others use to obtain them. You do nothing productive compared to those that you spread false teachings to. Yet you continue to hide behind my cloak afraid to face the world in the same capacity as my flock. YOU WILL ANSWER TO ME !!

Dec 23, 2010 @ 18:16:41
If what Dr.Coontz and Murdock say is true, then why don’t they send me or someone else a “seed” of a $1000 or more, and they can keep the blessings.
It just goes to show you that even in this modern age there are still people that want to sell someone some snake oil.

Well, the Islamists call us the “Big Satan.” And rightly so because we have dropped our morals since the 60′s and we allow these nightmarish things to go on. Has anyone seen, lately, commercials about stopping bulllying? I had no idea it was that chronic. It’s a shame and I feel very hurt seeing the hugh change that’s happened since I was a kid. I don’t mean to offend anyone.

Touch Not Mine Anointed
January 10, 2011
“And |David| said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.” (1 Samuel 24:6)
These words have been widely misappropriated in later times as a warning to any who would presume to question or rebuke an erring pastor or other Christian leader. In the theocracy of Israel, there were three groups of men specially chosen by God and then anointed for their offices–prophets, priests, and kings–and God indeed “suffered no man to do them wrong” (Psalm 105:14). However, all three offices were completely fulfilled in Christ. The Levitical priesthood has been abolished, and Christ is our eternal high priest. The prophetic office ceased with the completion of the Scriptures, and Christ has inherited David’s throne forever.
As far as New Testament anointing is concerned, this is now accomplished in every true believer. “Now he which . . . hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22). No longer are we dependent on special instruction and guidance from priests and prophets, for we have the inerrant, infallible, written Word of God, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. “The anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” (1 John 2:27).
Christians can, and should, learn and grow spiritually from godly teachers of the Word and faithful pastors of the flock, but all–leaders as well as learners–must continually be subject to correction from God’s Word, “neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock” (1 Peter 5:3). HMM
Jan 11, 2011 @ 19:40:36
Well Pilgrims, I think its lots of fun to watch the good “doctors” do their soft shoe acts. I guess its all pretty simple…I’m a Darwinist. If you are stupid enough to send any of these con artists your hard earned money, then you deserve whatever happens to you. The sad part is that the money could be used elsewhere to a much greater good. And dont forget the “Master Profit LOL Bishop Jordan in NYC” He needs a new Bimmer. And Paula, well Paula just deserves a good spanking! Now THAT might be fun!
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:39:03
LOL! LOL! wow! LOL! thank you I LOL that was a great laugh.
Jan 12, 2011 @ 05:55:12
“Nothing leaves heaven until some thing leaves the earth” “uncommon seed” “triple favor” “enter into a covenant with you” “broke the back of poverty” When you hear any of the above phrases, hold on to your wallet. I just saw the great man of God Todd Coontz on the Inspiration network pimping for another ‘Dr” David Cerullo. He told incredible stories of how he receives money from different people because God has told those people to show Todd Coontz favor. He tells the tale of how checks are delivered by Fedex and UPS. He tells of how excited he gets when he sees a Fedex truck. One time he was at an airport and he saw a Fedex plane and he almost lost it.
Of course there would be no Dr Coontz without his mentor the great man of God “Dr” Mike Murdoch. Coontz has often referred to Murdoch as his mentor. Mike Murdoch has often mentioned that Coontz seats on his ministry board. I think that saying that Mike Murdoch is his mentor is the only honest thing that has ever come out of Coontz’s mouth. On this program with Cerullo Coontz told the viewers not to sow into their local churches but rather sow into Todd Coontz ministry because of the heavy “anointing” that he has on his life.
Not to be out done Dr Murdoch also showed up on the same Camp Meeting with David Cerullo. Murdoch asked for a thousand miracles. He said that there was a thousand people out there who the Holy Spirit was impressing upon to go the the phone and give a thousand dollars. “Delayed obedience becomes disobedience” he intoned. He said that people might not think they had the money to give but that God would show them where the money was.”It might be money you have put away for college or for a vacation. It might be in the bottom of your closet. Maybe in a sock some where. It might even be between your mattresses”. He also felt moved that someone out there was going to put the thousand dollars on their credit card and God was gonna wipe out their credit card debt. I give credit to Murdoch for keeping a straight face when he said those things.
I can’t believe the way this two con men continue to manipulate gullible people to “sow” into their ministry. They are the lowest kind of scumbags and one day they will answer for what they have done using the word of God. One day Murdochs tongue is really going to cleave to the roof of his mouth as he often prays at the end of his programs. He will not be the only one. Others like Leroy Thompson, Benny Hinn, Paula White and both Morris and David Cerullo will be right behind Murdoch and Coontz.
If any body who is thinking of giving these thugs your money reads this please stop. Dont do it. Give your money to your local church or homeless shelter. Dont think that that you have to give your money to the above mentioned so that you can receive some blessing. They keep insisting that they are not selling miracles. “You could’nt buy a miracle for a million dollars” says Todd Coontz “but you can plant a seed of faith by the instruction of a man of God and get a harvest”. Please help the people in your local community if you feel led to. Thank you for your time.
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:27:20
Did you ever hear Coontz keep saying Deutoromony? Instead of Deutoronomy. His illiteracy is so apparent it’s amazing how these shows are all over the TV. He’s so desperate for people to send him money that he stumbles all over himself while talking. He always says, I’m gonna come into a covenant with the Gideon 300. He’s asking for $130.00 from the public. I wouldn’t give him ice in the Winter. I’ve seen the Fed Ex thing. I thought he was gonna say, “when I see a Fed Ex truck I come in my undees.” Sorry, I had to throw that in. When I heard him say I came all unglued I just couldn’t help saying that. How anyone can send him money is just unfathomable. Him and Murdock are garbage. Oh, I made up a song about them. Now, this is to the tune of the Mickey Mouse Show. it goes…..who’s the leader of the club that loves hundred dollar bills, a Monkey Murd O O Ock Coo Coo Coo Coo Coontz. Now just in your head, have the tune of whose the leader of the club that’s made for you and me and replace it with my lyrics. Just wanted to give a laugh. Thank you.

just saw 1 of these infomercials today. considering my comprehension of who god actually is, i sometimes find it interesting to analyze the messages of religious speakers. i caught the last 30m or so of this program & was amazed at the idea that humans beings would actually be giving away $ in this fashion. the names running across the bottom of the screen is a great visual. i counted 123. i figure even if these aren’t real people, this operation is pulling down a grand per for each human who falls prey.
i could use this type of capital for what i’d like to be doing as an artistic human, but i am not a person who could continue to respect self after manipulating others in this fashion.
this blog entry is a great write up…
Jan 18, 2011 @ 02:26:30
i was channel surfing, and paused to listen to Todd for the first time. I was transfixed. I admire talent and skill, wherever I see it. This low life, bottom feeding, money grubbing snake is the best i’ve seen. (as an aside, why were the majority of contributors from the south?)
the gall to look people straight in the eye and do it with so much faux emotion. the evilness to take money from those who can least afford it.
but the talent level!
why not a reality show? stack a few of these insects up against each other. let’s see who can make the most money.
what struck me was that there was a large audience, and so many people give money. and then i realized that these same gullible people go to the ballot box and make decisions on who will be our government leaders.
that’s a frightening thought.
Thanks for your website!
Jan 21, 2011 @ 18:23:58
Coontz says he becomes “almost unglued” whenever he sees a UPS or FedEx truck because they always bring him checks, big checks, because God gave him favor. Never says how he earned those big checks, just that UPS and FedEx keep them coming to him, all because of favor. Wonder how UPS and FedEx feel about their names being used in Coontz’s scam? Coontz practically foams at the mouth in his overwhelming lust to get your cash. I laughed for days after seeing his “infomercial” where he brings this couple onstage for a testimonial, a couple who wanted to purchase a water bottling plant for $250,000 but didn’t have the money and couldn’t get a loan, when suddenly (of course after planting a seed in Coontz’s so-called ministry) the owner of the plant decided (to quote Coontz), “to give them the business”. LOL. I know who is giving somebody the business in this situation and his name is Todd Coontz. Has anyone EVER heard of someone who is in negotiation to sell their large business suddenly decide, no I think I’ll just give away the business for nothing? Coontz is outrageous and those who believe in him need to seek an immediate mental health evaluation.
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:36:14
Very good observation, George. I never thought of that, but you may have something there. Right, he does not say who is behind the checks I’m sure Fed Ex and UPS are not sending him money for their health. You noticed that too? He swings his head around like a Louieville slugger and twitches and jumps around like he has hornets zinging him because he’s so hot to trot over getting people to send him money. Too much! It’s good to know there are still people out there with brains. Your reply was great LOL!
Jan 24, 2011 @ 01:59:02
He’s unglued alright. He must have learned all he knows by studying the life of Judas, he has the same character or lack of it for sure.
Jan 21, 2011 @ 19:57:31
Hope I did not offend the person that started this. It’s good to air oneself out, though. Had a great laugh reading what people think of these parasites.
Jan 23, 2011 @ 19:19:48
Think nothing of it Shirley; its all in good fun to expose these lowlifes who take hard earned money from the people who can least afford it. OOPS…gotta run! FEDEX is here with a package of money!!! Dang, its a miracle!!
Jan 28, 2011 @ 04:00:53
Ok . I could not help myself. I had to go to Coontz’s website just to check it out. I was surprised that no where on his website was there a picture of a Fedex or UPS truck. Anyway according to the website, one of the words that “others” have used to describe Dr Todd Coontz is “philanthropist”. Are you kidding me ? !!. I thought that philanthropist meant a person who gave to the needy not take from them.
Feb 02, 2011 @ 12:19:35
I have come across this evangelist several times and at first I didn’t make the connection with the money sending. I must admit that his message hit home to me and I did receive the miracles he talked about. However I hadn’t sent him any money as I must of switched off the set each time he asked for that. Tonight I did see the whole message he had and thought how sad it was that he wanted so much money. God can give us those blessings regardless, we just have to have faith. It doesn’t say in Deuteronomy that we have to give thousands of dollars to receive them. The point is to believe what it says and have faith God will provide it. I am living proof that this has happened without sending money.
Feb 04, 2011 @ 01:03:36
We’ve all heard about the dumbing down of America……and these preacher, con artists prove it with all they money they take in.
You have to be a complete idiot to give these TV preacher con artists one single penny.
I always have this mental picture of them looking at their bank statements and
them having a hard time believing that there can be so many totally stupid, moronic, people in this country.
As they say………they laugh all the way to the bank.
Feb 04, 2011 @ 20:24:07
Many younger folks may not know that Robert Tilton was the grandfather of this particular brand of “TV ministry”. (Google him)
Same simple one-camera set-up with low production values. Sit behind a desk and plead earnestly to the viewers; “Sow your seed and send me your money.”
Back then (mid ’80s) a mere $100.00 would get you a full album of his prosperity teaching audio tapes.
Wish I hadn’t thrown mine out – might be a collector’s item on e-Bay these days.

It is really sad that there is still such a veil over the eyes of God’s people concerning wealth, health and whole life prosperity. I challenge everyone that has posted these berating comments to check your heart and see if the love of God is in you. Scripture is clear that we have been given power to get wealth (Duet 8:18) “Jesus became poor that we might become rich (2 Cor. 8:9); Wealth and riches will be in the house of those who obey God (Ps. 112:1-3) There are specific promises associated with our giving and God has raised up men and women of the Gospel to teach the Body of Christ these priniciples because as Kingdom citizens it is our responsibility to support the work of ministry. Where there is no vision the people perish – Vision requires provision and there is no obligation to prove to you what God has told someone else to do. In my opinion you are the wolves in sheep clothing when you tear down the men and women of God. God called them NOT YOU and they have to answer to HIM. Because you have not received revelation or faith to believe at this level does not make them crooks and just means you don’t understand. We tend to resist what we don’t know or can’t control. Please repent and take your mouth off of what you don’t have revelation to understand or faith to believe. God’s Prophet
Feb 10, 2011 @ 20:46:07
Wake up! They are only interested in money. Everything they talk about is M O N E Y! Todd Coontz can’t even say Deutoronomy. He says Deutoromony. How illiterate! He’s supposed to be “anointed.” There is only one anointed and that’s Jesus. These evil men are targeting people who are the most desperate and not very educated. They will have there part in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Mar 19, 2011 @ 19:37:03
Excuse me, Guynn, but these horses asses NEVER EVER preached the Gospel. So who appointed them? The devil himself. I perceive that you must be one of them. (the “go to your phone” people) or else why stick up for them? Let me enlighten you….the Gospel means good news. That good news is that Jesus saved us from our sins. The only thing these evil men talk about is C A S H. If they come to my neck of the woods, I’ll spit in their faces!!!!!
Feb 09, 2011 @ 15:47:24
Its sad that you are such a sucker Guynn. I do love God….its Todd Coontz, Mike Murdock and their ilk I dont love. Nor do they love God. They love money and will do or say almost anything to get it. God didnt call them, they called themselves, wrapping themselves in the false nonsense of Dr. to impress the suckers. They don’t have Doctorates in Divinity, they haven’t studied the bible beyond what they need to preach their absurd “seed theory” nonsense. If you believe all that Fedex, UPS nonsense, I’ll be glad to send you my address so we can discuss a bridge I have for sale , or some seed I would like to plant in Paris. And when you decide to get serious about helping your fellow man,may I suggest that Inspiration Ministries doesnt need another jet, but St. Judes hospital, Wounded Warriors, the American Cancer Society or your local Food Bank could sure use some help…a damn sight more than these thieves!

Jerry,….LOL! I always wondered if someone did not get a reaction and file suit against him. I saw on u-tube how Peter Popoff almost hurt a news man with his car door. Popoff was telling the man to get out of here! How pious! I never read in the Bible that God gave us the “power to get wealth.” Jesus said, seek our heavenly Father and his righteousness and our needs would be met. That means that we must be hungry to know Him and nothing else, with a sincere heart. After all, we’re only passing through. But, of course, you know this. Thanks for the laugh!
Feb 11, 2011 @ 01:03:09
Its really sad these guys are bilking so many folk, and sadder yet is the so called Christians who fall for this. Just shows how many are not really in the word and will fall for anything. God will not be silent forever and would hate to be in any of these charlatains shoes when the anvil is struck.
Feb 12, 2011 @ 07:36:50
If you happen to watch Coontz on BET don’t turn the TV off after he goes off the air. If you are “fortunate” enough the show coming up next will be a show featuring another clown by the name Master Prophet E Bernard Jordan. At some point during his show the following words show up on the screen. ” Listen to the prophet. Sow you seed now !!. Your life depends on it !!”. Can’t believe that these people get away with saying things like that.
Apr 12, 2011 @ 17:16:00
Joseph: I call him the “masterbater.” Ain’t that funny? He looks totally draped on something. He’s like in a stupor. His son is really greedy too. He’s a real fast talker, and everyone on that show is a prophet or prophetess. They usually ask for $37.00. They, I guess, try to get the masses instead of asking for $1,000.00 like greedy ipso fatso Coontz. LOL!
Feb 15, 2011 @ 09:43:52
It would appear that the problem is people can’t tell a legitimate ministry from a fake one. I saw Mr. Coontz for the very first time tonight. While I know God calls pastors and teachers for a purpose, and their needs are to be met, as Galatians 6:6 says “The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him,” there still has to be discernment and good stewardship on a Christian’s part. It is not good stewardship to cast your “pearls before swine” so to speak. For me, Mr. Coontz went too far when he said (paraphrasing), “don’t send it to your church, send it to one who has the anointing (me).” Ummmm, I believe the pastor of my church to be “anointed” and that’s where it’s supposed to go – the place that primarily feeds me spiritually – my church. The 2 not so often quoted scriptures that put finances in their proper place for me was Proverbs 30:8-9 and 2 Corinthians 9:5-15. Proverbs basically says don’t be too rich (excess) as to forget God and don’t be too poor, as to be in want (lack) and steal. There is a balance. 2 Corinthians 9 lets me know that if you ARE blessed with abundance, the extra is for giving. I suspect God doesn’t bless as many people with abundance because most people have a problem with the giving part – but this doesn’t mean they should live in lack either. Additionally, if people were taught to be good stewards they wouldn’t get into so much financial hardship, making it easier for shysters to prey upon their emotions. Yes, legitimate ministries need funding but unfortunately people like Coontz take God’s principles and twist them for their gain and thus turn people away from God’s true potential blessing and IF there is a legitimate TV ministry, nobody will believe them because of all the crooks. Before sending hard earned money to anyone people should do as the scripture says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” Peace.
Feb 16, 2011 @ 19:04:47
All these “preachers” are completely fake and the only thing they want is MONEY. They do not teach anything. They only BS on and on and on and on and they drone on and on and then they ask for money. Anyone who is fooled does not have the brains God gave geese. It is that simple. That horrible fat pig coontz uses my name on one of his shows and it burns me up. He uses Jesus’s name too, but the only difference is Jesus loves him. I hate him and his kind. Every time we turn on the TV and channel surf the TV is filled with these money beggers. It sleighs me because Coontz is supposed to be so pious but he does not even know how to say Deutoronomy. He says….Deutoromony… and that he is gonna “come into a covenant with you. How totally ignorant! The only “covenant” besides the law of Moses is the New Covenant when Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross.

There is only ONE anointed and that’s Jesus. That’s it. No human is anointed.
Feb 16, 2011 @ 16:24:09
Do you not believe that God anoints men? Do you not believe that God hand selects and anoints people to do all sorts of things, especially preachers?

Shirley,
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Shirley? EEEEEEEEEEEEE DEUTERONOMY.

Anointed simply means ‘set apart’. Many people think that to be anointed gives you some kind of special powers or insight. Every Christian has the Holy Spirit and has the opportunity to be filled and used like any preacher, teacher or their favorite Christian Super Hero.
As a ordained minister for thirty-five years I have worked two jobs just to keep a roof over my head, I am ashamed and angry at these so-called preachers who have little or no theological training that are laughing all the way to the bank! I hold both College and Seminary degrees my grad degree is from Liberty University working toward a Doctorate at age 57.
I live in the same town as Todd Kuntz and have crossed paths with him. I do not hate anyone because I am commanded to love. But I can have righteous anger toward all those who fleece the sheep like Kuntz and Murdock.

I don’t know how his wife can stand him. He makes me sick! Another person said that his family thinks he is an embarrassment. He is. I am human and can’t help how I feel. I hope the companies he mentions file a huge law suit for using their names. If I were his wife I’d be gone. If I were his mother, whom he talks about, I would disown him and cut him from my will unless he stop that animal behavior. And that Murdock he sings and berates the song that is called, “How Great Thou Art” to “how dumb thou art.” Nothing like slapping God in the face, is there? I do hate him and all of them. Anyone that treats God like that I can’t stand. After all, look what God has done for us. If I saw coontz I’d spit in his face! He will pay in the end!
Feb 18, 2011 @ 06:50:31
In his testimony, Todd Coontz told the following. He went into a bank to get a loan, but the bank did not have any money. The loan officer asked him what he did for a living. Coontz told him that he owned a flower shop. The loan officer then asked Coontz if he could manage his flowers. Coontz said that in twenty four hours he had more flowers in his hand than he ever had !!.
I don’t know if I am telling this story correctly. In fact I am sure that I have the story all twisted around. I like my version better than his. I think mine is more believable. Just want Coontz to know that he is not the only one who can tell fairy tales.
Feb 18, 2011 @ 21:29:46
I like your version of the story too because it’s just like all of Todd’s tales, a lie.
He did give a testimonial about not having a ride to see his girlfriend so he walked and God told him to buy his gal some flowers. He saw a flower shop, asked the owner for some flowers but the flower shop had no flowers. The shop owner then asked Coontz what he did for a living. Coontz responded by saying he was in finance and then suddenly this stranger asks Coontz if he would like to manage his money. Coontz then goes on to say soon he had more money in his hands than ever before. A flower shop with NO flowers and a someone asking a STRANGER to manage his money!?!? Uh, yeah, happens all the time. Lesson is, if you can write fairy tales you may have a future as a TV preacher.
Feb 18, 2011 @ 13:00:20
Here’s a good laugh. There is a site called Peter Popoff is a M….F… and all the posts are hilarious! I laughed so hard that I just about fell off the chair.
I like the story Coontz tells about “coming unglued” when he sees a Fed Ex truck. I crack up. He always says God is gonna turn the battle around. I don’t know what you’re facing, but God told me to tell you that your season is getting ready to change. He should just say, I don’t know what you’re facing, but STICK EM UP! HAND OVER ALL YOUR MONEY NOW!!!! He jumps around and twitches because he knows what he is doing is ridiculous and a complete lie. When the police interrogate someone they watch for that particular kind of behavior. Isn’t he hip to body language? I guess not. I posted to a lot of sites and it’s sad to find out that there are a vast amount of people that were and are still deceived by these evil men and women.
Feb 21, 2011 @ 21:00:46
Coontz has problems with many words. Can’t help but laugh when he struggles to say “recognize”. He always says “reconize”. I think he shortens it because he is so hyper in his quest to get you to send him your cash, preferably in large denominations. He’s just so excited he mispronounces it or maybe he’s just stupid.
I really don’t know how this guy sleeps at night. One more thing that cracks me up is this “supernatural debt cancellation” nonsense that Coontz and other lowlife tv preachers spew. Send them $1000 and God will cancel their debt. Or better yet they say, send it to them on your credit card (to get your “seed” in the ground quicker) and all your credit card debt will be erased!!!! What a DEAL! Only a fool would send any of these criminals their money. These crooks are flourishing, therefore there are many, many fools out there more than willing to part with their cash.
Feb 21, 2011 @ 21:12:22
I was up early Sunday morning, making coffee and then flipping on the tv to check the news. Lo and behold I got a double!!!! Murdock on one station in an older Inspiration con job; the one where he “lays his hands” on the flock just as he is about to sheer them. About a year old I would say…then there was Dr Todd over on another channel for old Inspiration (or “inspirational ” as he calls them. Its the newer one with Bob Rogers and that woman with the terrible singing voice. He’s wearing an ugly brown suit.. New twist….he was talking about THIS time your new seed will revive all your “dormant seeds”. Clever way to get the suckers to keep giving money even though absolutely NOTHING has happened since their last “seed offering. ” Amazing. I just shook my head and drank my coffee. Looked for Benny and Paula but they were not there..:)
Feb 22, 2011 @ 18:42:52
JohnWayne, you are so right about their “dormant seed” routine!! It’s hilarious!
These thieves rarely mention “dormant seed” until late in their pitch to get you to cough up some cash if they mention it at all. Wouldn’t want to discourage any givers so they never tell you up front that your seed might be dormant.
In fact they pretty much GUARANTEE your seed (a.k.a. cash) will result in 10 to 100 % return so a giver would never think their seed might not work. You would think those that had “dormant seed”, which is EVERY single one of them, would stop giving to these criminals. Sadly that is not the case, they do keep on giving. “Dormant Seed”, What A CROCK!
Feb 23, 2011 @ 06:10:37
Has anyone noticed the fine print that comes up on the screen when Coontz is talking on Campmeeting ?. It says “Miracles are blessings from God. Inspiration Ministries cannot guarantee that everyone who gives will receive a miracle”. This is after Coontz has spent an hour insisting that he is not selling miracles.I have seen fine print on all kinds of advertisments on TV but never on a religious program. It is probably some thing that their attorneys told them to put up “just in case”.
Feb 24, 2011 @ 15:46:47
It is odd that I do not see any fine print in the Bible these theives claim to preach from, they should run for political office they are better at spin and twisting truth that any politician I have heard yet.
Feb 24, 2011 @ 19:41:42
Yes, I have seen that. While Coontz is begging for money with the “tinkely” music in the background, it comes up on the screen, albeit in small print, miracles are purely from God and there is no guarantee that you’ll get a miracle through giving money. Something like that. See, some people through coincidence have something happen to them and they think, oh boy, my seed worked. So they continue to give money. What really gets me too is they say money will be placed in your bank account by God Himself. That’s a real pip.
Feb 23, 2011 @ 21:12:14
Brilliant observation Joseph. I’ve seen it. The disclaimer is obviously used to cover their butts when the “Guarantees” Coontz, Murdock, Cerullo and whatever shill they are using at the time, don’t ever pan out. Guess they had too many threats of lawsuits since we all know giving money to these already wealthy criminals provides the giver with nothing but a lighter wallet/ bank account and provides the tv preacher more cash to continue their con games as well as continue their lavish lifestyles.
Feb 24, 2011 @ 19:49:49
I think Petey Poppoffski and his “precious” wife Liz Popoffski are the real pushers of “Divine Transfer”. thats when you wake up and discover that God has , unbeknownst to you, made a deposit to your checking account. Kind of like a celestial social security check. I assume everyone knows about the scam with the radio the Popoffskis were caught doing some years back. If not, its on You-Tube.
Feb 27, 2011 @ 05:29:00
Ok maybe other people on here already know about this. I just learned today that there is a new book exposing the secret life of Mike Murdock. Got an email from a friend telling me about it. Any way go to Amazon and under the book category put in the name of the author “Trey Smith”. The name of his book is “Thieves”. It exposes Mike Murdock for what he really is. Scroll down to the reviews of people who have read the book. Most of the people on here will probably not be shocked but according to the author ( who was Mike Murdock’s son’s friend for a while) it is a wonder that Mike Murdock is not in prison. Anyway check it out and post any comments about it.
Mar 25, 2011 @ 18:21:32
Hi. Yes, I did go to read about the reviews of the Trey Smith book. It does not surprise me at all because after seeing Murdock on TV, and being a good judge of character, I can sense that that he is really through and through evil and the devil has him in his hip pocket. Murdock will join the devil and his cohorts in the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation. Murdock always says he loves the sight of a hundred dollar bill more than anything on earth. The camera then flashes to the audience to a girl laughing and a young man looking sick to his stomach. When Murdock stares into the TV camera, I can sense in my spirit that he will do anything for money. There is a web log about how his books will now go behind closed doors. I assume that’s because he paid all the right people off. I hate him beyond belief and his kind. Jesus said that there will come a time that people will be lovers of self, lovers of money and without natural affection and that’s just how it is today. When I was a young lady, this was not so. We called people Mr. and Mrs. or miss, and an unmarried man was called Master not Ms. We did not dare call anyone by their first name. Men has respect for women. Actually maybe you remember they would not even show Elvis Presley below the waist dancing on TV, being fully dressed in regular clothes. It was considered “indecent.” When someone gave a promise or told you anything, basically, it was the truth and you didn’t give it a second thought. Nowadays, this world is built on lies and “cut throat” way of life. Like I said in so many other posts, I hate them because their targeting desperate uneducated people. These fakes say God will bless them for their obedience, but obedience to what? They don’t say. The Bible says God will bless any nation that will obey His laws and His statutes. Well, what are they? Simply the ten commands, but these fakes want you to think giving them money is being obedient to God. Coontz talks about the ten covenant promises. This is completely taken out of context and twisted. Sorry, went off on a tangent, but yes, I would like to get a copy of that book. Murdock IS the epitome of evil.
Mar 03, 2011 @ 01:30:24
Okay I have to say some of these posts are cracking me up…and do I agree with them? Tough to say actually bcuz Im not really sure, but what I DO know is…If the Lord speaks to you about sowing seed then its the obedience of what the Lord is speaking to YOU and not where you sow it….now mind you I am NOT saying Todd and his ministry (if you wanna call it that) is the proper place to sow it…however, I AM saying that if you know the Lords voice then Im thinking obide by it?
Mar 23, 2011 @ 04:25:24
I’m sure that dr. crackpots camel surely fit through the eye of that needle
Mar 25, 2011 @ 03:21:56
Did you know that Coontz Investments & Insurance, Inc. of wich Dr. Coontz is president of is located on WHISKEY ROAD!!!!!!!! I’m sure his viewers would really like to know that. However, this king of kings of spin would probably say something ’bout the south and how it was supposed to be located there and support his local kin-folk and their industries so they could sew their international cottonseeds of hope. This man needs to be committed.
Mar 30, 2011 @ 12:57:27
Murdock is the evil Chuckeeee!!!! LOL!!
Apr 05, 2011 @ 18:29:08
Deutoromity! He looks just like that evil chucky doll. Especially when he makes that face in the camera. Coontz’s mother shouldn’t have named him Todd, she should have named him turd. LoL!
Murdock made his millions, but that idiot Coontz is copying all Murdock’s sayings and body language. I go on utube and laugh my head off at what people say about all of them. There’s one on Coontz. I think it’s called utube coontz poop and he’s wearing that power suit with the yellow tie and if you watch it, you’ll laugh until you pee your pants, (like I did). I started thinking about it one morning while I was brushing my teeth and I was almost on the floor from laughing. My husband was shouting, what’s going on! I could not talk I was laughing so hard!
Apr 07, 2011 @ 05:46:38
I saw Coontz the other day on his show talking about what else, but the sowing of seed. At one point to illustrate what he is talking about he breaks into a huge grin and says ” I am smiling at you right now. That is a seed. If you are there at home watching this and you are smiling back at me, that is a seed too.”
No, I am not smiling back at you, you greedy fool !!. I am sitting here at home wishing I could reach through the TV screen and put my foot up your behind !!!
Apr 12, 2011 @ 17:05:31
Joseph: LOL! I saw that one too. I felt exactly the same way. Someone said that when they first saw him on TV they were cracking up, but then they just wanted to slap that goatee off his face. Someone else said, and this made me crack up so hard I almost fell of the chair, that he needs to stick his thumb up his behind and let a fart and that should clear his head. There is a utube poop on Coontz where he’s wearing a yellow tie and the way it is done is so funny, I almost cracked more ribs laughing. You gotta see it. I too just want to plunge my hand through the TV and choke him, (as fat as he is) and just rip him to shreds. I guess we will be seeing alot more atrocities like this in future.
Apr 07, 2011 @ 18:30:24
Hello,
I sent money to the Tood Coontz ministry, no CD, no Thank you letter. I thought they might forgotton. E mailed them 4 times.. no response. I even requested them, no mail.. nothing. I feel guilty of sending money to this person. Never send money especially to this ministry. Never… Better to give to poor than sending money to him. Let God Alone JUDGE this terrible person
Apr 08, 2011 @ 18:58:26
Saw Coontz recently, a piece of one of his “infomercials” that I had not seen and before he said something he stated “I’ll probably take a lot of heat for saying this” and then he went into his usual “send me your cash, er, “seed” routine, something happens at the $1000 level that doesn’t happen at any other level, blah, blah, blah”. Obviously he is taking a lot of heat but not just from this one infomercial. This vulture has been on the tube for years now spewing his absolute nonsense and I’m glad if he feels the heat. He deserves it for being such a repulsive, money grubbing crook. I’ve gone to his ridiculous web sight (proof of his massive ego with all the pictures of Coontz) and went to the prayer requests and prayed that rotten, thieving TV preachers like Mike Murdock and Todd Coontz be removed from the airwaves and punished to the max for their atrocious acts. So keep the heat on guys like Coontz, if he thinks it’s hot now, wait til judgement day, Todd, you criminal.
Apr 12, 2011 @ 16:59:21
George: Amen to that!!! I think I saw that one. He said in one time on TV, when I was channel surfing on a Sunday, that his son was in an automobile accident. The car was destroyed, but his son was untouched. Maybe God is trying to warn? He then said that he asked his son if the thanked God for not being hurt and his son said, oh yes, absolutely. I can only go by my own life. God will warn you. Not that I did anything like what Coontz does, but I was on the wrong path. Anyway, they will all suffer judgment on the Last Day.
Apr 12, 2011 @ 03:02:08
I agree it is sad that some people actually think these parasites that are sucking the blood out of them are annointed. coontz, murdock, hin , duplantis, dollar, osteen, bynum, parsley, hagee, price, swaggart, copeland, roberts, hagan, white, and there are another 30 of these parasites, i just don`t have time to list them all. GOD bless people to open their eyes before they answer the door to these wolves in sheeps clothing. but i would imagine the people that are defending these parasites are new christians that don`t have the Biblical knowlege to see through these evil men and women. i sure hope that`s the case, b/c if you`ve been a christian for only an hour you can clearly see these people for what they are.
Apr 14, 2011 @ 19:48:23
I saw a new one of Coontz where he said, I have to stand up because I’m so excited and then the goes on to say, look at my beautiful fushia (spelling it wrong, I guess) colored tie, (it’s kind of a reddish) and he says if God says it’s green then it will be green. As he’s saying this, he’s stroking it like it was the most precious thing on the planet. He always says God’s gonna turn your battle around! Be one of the Gideon 300 and set aside $130.00 battle seed. He even said “dream seed” once. Through the whole thing he only says you’re in a battle and God told me, Todd, we got to get back to the Bible. He goes, God told me he’s gonna turn that business around! I was just incredulous! He says I’m gonna teach about the ten covenant blessings. He just goes on to say how we must be receivers and all that junk. He totally just picks out bits and pieces of the Bible and twists them into his ridiculous lies. At the end, there’s the tinkely music and he’s swinging that big fat head around, again, like a LouieVille Slugger and twitching like a marionette. He really is so deluded that I’ve never seen anyone so mentally nuts like him. I really don’t know how his wife can stand him. I would rather be poor and on the streets then be his wife, honestly! Yuk! I hope they make more utube poops on him because it’s hilarious. He has no idea how stupid he looks! He should watch his own shows and maybe he’ll see, who knows?
Apr 18, 2011 @ 19:45:16
Caught a few seconds of Coontz shilling for David Cerullo on the ridiculous camp meeting that airs over and over and over again, week after week, year after year.
I guess that the miracles he says are gonna happen in the next 90 days are continuous since this “infomercial” is many YEARS old. But what made me laugh out loud was when Coontz said that David Cerullo is one of the biggest “givers” he’s ever known!!!???!! That no other tv ministry CEO gives like Cerullo! Cerullo is always planting “seeds” (aka YOUR CASH) in other ministries!??!!! David Cerullo a “giver”, now that’s a WHOPPER!. The same David Cerullo who layed off ministry employees while building HIMSELF a 4 MILLION DOLLAR MANSION. The same David Cerullo who employs the likes of freakshow money grubbers like Coontz and Murdock to do the begging for him. The same David Cerullo who’s pappy preacher has been banned in the U.K. David Cerullo is about as giving as Bernie Madoff!
If he’s a giver then I’m Santa Claus.
Apr 19, 2011 @ 01:12:10
They could easily change the name from the Inspiration Network to…. The Mike and Todd Show. How stupid does Cerullo think people are? Even the most dense among us can figure out they’re watching the same thing EVERY weekend. Surely, Cerullo isn’t thinking a pile of new viewers are hearing this for the first time every weekend.
May 05, 2011 @ 18:01:56
Mikey: LOL!!!!! Very good!
Apr 19, 2011 @ 10:48:36
I would gladly sow a 1000 dollar seed if i was promised the miracle of these snakes getting hit by a bus doing 75 miles an hour the next day!!!
Apr 21, 2011 @ 02:16:53
I saw Dr Mike “big money” Murdock on Rod Parsley’s show. Parsley was spewing the same nonsense as before. ” Every time you ask God for a miracle, God will always give you an instruction about a seed”. On this show Murdock was asking for $ 58 a month for twelve months. He also felt stirred that a wealthy businessman who was watching would set aside $ 58 a day for the next 12 months.
One of the promises that Murdock gave for all who sowed was that they would have a doubling of wisdom over the next six months. I was laughing my butt off when he said that. What if I sowed the seed and then realised six months later that I was still as dumb as I was the day I sowed the seed?. Also by sowing that seed would that mean that I started off with zero wisdom?. How do you double zero wisdom?. And what if I did get a doubling of wisdom over those six months? Would that increased wisdom lead me to kick myself for sowing that seed?
So many questions I wish I could ask the “money man”.
Apr 21, 2011 @ 15:33:49
GOD give moneys will make you and The White House rich In GOD We Trust.GOD and Me helps you become rich just legalize printings out more moneys it will helps all the business to increases nomore poverty on earth than you rich.I let you know Remember GOD and Me show you how to be rich that like give you moneys.Helps each other become rich.Once you rich sents me moneys sents it to Son Nguyen 3834 San Marco Dr.Stockton,Ca.95212 thanks the real GOD will bless you for sents me moneys.

wow Todd Coontz has a silk hanky?I have 4 sets of silk sheets so whats your point? get over it ?
Apr 28, 2011 @ 05:54:48
I am not the one to judge these people, but yes they are fake!! Discernment is a great tool, as one can almost tell when they’ll go into a spill about “the seed”. Just pray that conviction from GOD will come on them to make them turn their ways. Its just too bad that a LOT of otherwise good preachers have sold out to this kind of format for their ministry. Coontz, Parsley, CBN,TBN, Popoff,etc all had me at some point in time, I trusted what they were saying due to the fact they had credible ministries and at the time I was under the impression that they were real. When they all started on 10 100 or 1000 and other “seeds” and what would happen if u sew, I admittedly was taken by their promises. But after that discernment kicked in and asked, “you sewed, now where are the promises that these “people of GOD” promised you” Nuff said, In fact I was able to get money back from Popoff by ripping up his letter and sending it back to him explaining why I did it and want my money back. Another time in Milwaukee, a former pastor had Kearney Thomas as his guest, OMG not to judge him, but that dude was a PHONEY! About a month after he left, I spoke to some people who stood in his 100 320 and 1000 line and had asked them did they recieve any of what he told the what was going to happen, you guessed it NOBODY recieved any healing or miracle and shelled out all that money, but he did leave the church with about 20k after splitting some with the pastor. All I’m saying is that if you are going to sew, PLEASE do it as the spirit leads you, not these tv dinner televangelist and their psalms 1:17 $117 seed(or whatever) PLEASE READ YOUR WORD!!! to understand it for yourself, and not get bamboozled by these fast food evangelists(I’ve met some and cannot believe they call themselves DR’S, BUT God will handle it) and thier smooth talking tactics, ITS A BUSINESS!! If you need prayer, or want to pray got to DEMONBUSTER.COM this is not a spam you will gain a LOT insight and best of all its FREE
Apr 28, 2011 @ 06:18:23
I remember when T.D. Jakes was at CFFC in Milwaukee and I went up to put 10 dollars in the pan, the usher looked at me and said that I need to put more than that in the offering pan and sent me back to my seat, okay so I did not have the 50 100 or 1000 dollars but I had something, well at least Culvers didn’t discriminate on a brotha! But Decieved I agree with you Church is nothing more than a business, and Coontz really aint teaching out the word like a real pastor should, I’ve been to Murdock in FT WORTH TX and was not at all impressed. Now if we had more real TRUE people of GOD like Kimberly Ray and John Eckhardt who REALLY preach that word, heal and DO NOT do those “money lines” or like you said the 1:17 for $117 seed, then the gospel would be credible and so many people wouldnt be burned. Kimberly Ray is the only pastor I watch on Monday nights on the Word network, Know what else the Word network is the ONLY network that I know that has never done a telethon, plus they also feature the not so big names that keep Gods word real, such as Lyle and Deborah Dukes, they are awesome and dont beg for money except when they offer a dvd series of their sermons which is something that I’ll sew for. I’ll have to check out demonbuster.com, thanks for the site
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:27:26
Lyle and Deborah Dukes are FAKES too. They don’t do the “go to your phone” bit, but they don’t teach they only get up there and SCREAM and put on big theatrics. The best thing to do is keep away from tv preachers. The Dukes ask you to help starving kids and then they do the emotionalism thing and show you them feeding kids, just like Coontz. I’d be careful getting involved with them.
Apr 30, 2011 @ 04:36:31
wow you mean todd has a silk hanky in his pocket? I have four sets of silk sheets so whats your point? get over it……….,……….

He actually lives in a 3000 rent apartment, drives a Lexus with rims and dresses better than I do. He’s an occasional golf setter go getter blue tooth mongrel.
May 03, 2011 @ 21:47:43
Everybody involved in writing here, read 2 Peter 2: 3, …”they will make merchandise of you”. I saw Oral Roberts in 1958, when I was ten, and I concluded in front of my mother and two siblings, “is this not wrong”. I thought, a public spectacle of faith healing by Roberts was not about faith in Christ but Roberts & many of these others and their self-aggrandizement. I am getting sick to my stomach. Everyone that reads this get ready here HE comes. Read about “Bootes”, on the Internet “He is Coming”. Prepare your hearts, confess your sins, the Master is coming to make an account of His Vineyard laborers.
May 05, 2011 @ 18:08:22
The Todd/Inspiration show seems to be the new Cerullo favorite. Its sad looking at all those eager, trusting fools clapping away and trusting that band of thieves led by Coontz, Cerullo and Bob Rogers. That woman with the terrible voice is complicit too; Judy something or other. They are all going to Hell for conning trusting but not very bright people out of money most can barely afford to give. Sad really.
May 09, 2011 @ 20:41:24
The campmeeting series of re-runs that air day after day, week after week, year after year is truly incredible to watch. As JohnWayne says in the last post it is sad to see these trusting fools so happy to listen to the MANURE that Coontz spews.
That “singer” and I use that term very loose, is Judy Jacobs and she really does not sing with that terrible voice, just kind of shouts or speaks the words of the “song”. Know nothing of Bob Rogers, just that he has a church in Louisville and is sleazy enough to bring in filthy, disgusting money grubbers like Coontz and David Cerullo. That said, Bob Rogers, by having these thieves appear, is just as filthy, disgusting, and greedy as they are. Gotta love the comedic value of some of the absolutely ridiculous stories Coontz tells. The FedEx/UPS testimony is total B.S. Then how about the whopper testimony about how another preacher planted a “seed” in Coontz ministry because his son couldn’t get a full college scholarship to play football. Miraculously, according to Coontz, because of the “seed” planted in Coontz ministry, a school called with a partial scholarship offer! Halleluiah! to quote the fake “Dr.” Coontz. Halleluiah! I pray for the day that Coontz, Cerullo and Murdock are off the air and in prison where they belong with other criminals.
May 26, 2011 @ 17:19:49
That “clapping away” made me LOL! What really gets me is when the camera goes to this one lady with a pen and a clip board in her hands clapping away after Coontz says that this water bottling company just “gave away their business” to a couple that could not get credit to purchase it. I wonder if they are not paid to be there clapping. I mean, I know it’s kind of an odd thing if it were true, but they are making huge money, so it may be hoove them to pay people to do that. Also, I wonder if the posts that stick up for these creeps aren’t themselves doing that. They must scan the internet to see the “polls.” Maybe these people are promised something, and in these days, I guess, anything is better than nothing to someone not doing very well.

I made a comment on here but do not see it so here goes again . you said that todd has a silk hanky ????? Well I have 4 sets of silk sheets so whats your point???????????? GET OVER IT
May 09, 2011 @ 21:29:53
I watched Judy again for a moment..she calls herself a “worship artist”. Whatever that is!!! Oh well, we all know a fool and his money are soon parted.
May 11, 2011 @ 05:21:33
Ike. You are so right about the preacher who “sowed” into Todd’s Ministry so that his son could get a college scholarship. Did you hear the part where Coontz said that “the preacher thought about sowing into his own church, but God told him no. Sow into Todd because of the anointing on his life”?. I could not believe he said that. I had to replay it over on my DVR just to make sure I heard him correctly.
May 12, 2011 @ 19:12:58
Coontz is so full of crap! I too, Joseph, cracked up at his absurd comment that God told his friend, the other preacher, NO DON’T give your money to your OWN
ministry, give it to Todd Coontz ministry! God doesn’t trust your own ministry with your OWN cash (well, cash given to you by your followers) so give it to Todd Coontz ministry! I did not know God worked that way that He had ministry favorites.
Kind of like teachers pet? Coontz spews many whoppers to reach his one and only goal which is to get each and every viewer to send him some CASH! Or if you don’t have any cash he implores you to use your credit card to get it in the ground faster!
(Interpreted, that means getting it into Todd’s bank account quicker) This guy is revolting but I must admit his lies are hilarious, but he does belong in prison.
May 12, 2011 @ 19:29:46
I agree with everything you said Ike, but let us not forget that Coontz, Hinn, Cerullo, Murdock, White, Rogers, and the rest of the band of thieves could not exist without the abject stupidity of the fools who send them money. I used to have sympathy for them but the longer I listen to the drivel coming from the mouths of these bandits, the more I realize those who send them money are getting what they deserve. I mean how in God’s name could anyone be stupid enough to believe carney barker Todd Coontz actually converses with god or that David Cerullo’s father IS god…or at least thinks he is!!! I mean these people need to be taken out of the gene pool ASAP!
May 13, 2011 @ 16:40:51
That’s what makes this whole con game truly amazing, that there ARE people who ARE STUPID enough to buy into all the nonsense that the band of thieves spews. I still feel sorry them, but you are correct, that without these stupid people these vultures would not exist.
May 16, 2011 @ 22:11:38
What makes this whole con game truly amazing, is that there are people who are still arguing about this post FOUR YEARS after it was originally posted.
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:18:29
no one is arguing, they are just amazed at the stupidity of people because that abomination Coontz is still going strong with the same repeats of his shows. Damn! If I could buy stock in stupidity, I’d be rich! However, there is no such commodity.
May 19, 2011 @ 17:26:25
Coontz’ ego is massive. Have you noticed during one of the bogus “campmeeting /beg-a-thon /liars club” Coontz states that Sylvester Stallone tweeted him! Wow, golly gee, Todd, you name dropper you, are we supposed to be impressed? Why else would you just drop in this “story” (fabrication) in the middle of your begging? Coontz actually says that Stallone tweeted him saying “Rocky” sows seed every day! That just like Todd, “Rocky” plants “seed” all the time. I wonder what Stallone would think about his name being used in Todd’s greedy scam?
Somehow I just don’t think Sylvester Stallone follows Todd Coontz. That’s what old Todd implies. Stallone could not be that stupid. Just another of Coontz’ ridiculous claims and comments. I bet if you ask Stallone who Coontz is, his reply would be, “who”?
May 28, 2011 @ 20:03:55
How about when Paula White boasts that Donald Trump called her on the phone and said she is great at what she does and that, besides begging for money, this thing she was doing with companies she thought I can do that with alot of places not just one. It wasn’t really clear to me what she was talking about. I saw a new “camp meeting” and Cerullo said, “I’m probably gonna be hated for this, but if you can’t afford it don’t charge your donation.” I was shocked. He started crying crocodile tears. He did not look the same to me. He looked odd, like something was radically wrong. Maybe they try to contact famous people for credibility. Being that famous people don’t want bad publicity, they’ll not say anything like, “get lost you big phony.” On that camp meeting they had it where you could hear phones ringing constantly. There was a guy touting that nonsense that I’d never seen before. Cerullo doesn’t have that real bombastic drive like the others. He’s what I call “mealy mouthed.” He just coos into the camera sow your seed and reap a harvest, nothing leaves God’s hand until you release what’s in your hand. Unbelievable.
May 21, 2011 @ 20:27:08
How about when Todd always says, Wow! The anointing is strong! Sow your seed now! He has one where he says, I have to stop in the middle because God just told me you must go to the phone now! I can’t even teach until you go to the phone. The anointing is STRONG! I know the lines are going to jam, but keep dialing. It’s amazing how he says, you don’t need everyone liking you, just the right person. Sounds real pious right? He also copies that crap Murdock says, a days worth of favor is better than a lifetime of hard work. There are millions of people who through hard work have made themselves quite comfortable. I know a few first hand. They worked hard and EARNED what they have from scratch. So that garbage they say is bogus. It amazes me too how they say God just spoke to me. Funny, but God never spoke to me the way they say He speaks to them. They also say God told me that you should give X amount to this ministry. That gooney Coontz has no idea how stupid he looks. I don’t know how his wife can stand him. I wouldn’t care if he had more money than was ever printed, I’d leave his stupid butt in the dust toot sweet.
Jun 14, 2011 @ 19:29:02
It says in the Gospel of John in a chapter and verse which i can’t remember ‘Verily Verily i say, give Todd some money’ Every single time i watch the God channel and this bloke is on, he is talking about money. Never mentions any of the wonderful stuff in the bible(unless it’s twisted to referr to dough). Does anyone in the States actually send money to him? Has their seed been multiplied, i.e has it ever happened. You commit $1000 and wake up early the next day waiting for the knock on the door and someone gives you an envelope with $30,000 in it. I don’t think so. If so, i’ll give my money to that person and offer them a cut. Is he a man of God. Yhe best bit is when Jesus crosses the lake (John) and all the people follow him by boat and he says ‘Yeah but they’ve only come for more free bread and fish (Todd – you just want the bread and fish, wrong kind of bread though)’
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:14:57
Steve: You betcha they send Turd Coontz money because how else can he be so rich and on tv all the time. I never realized how many gullible people there are. If anyone wants or has the means to give to charity, then give to a food pantry where you yourself can actually see it’s going to the right place. That’s what I would do. I would love to just kick in his beedy eyed fat face. The rest of them too. I hate them with a passion. They should all burn in hell!
May 31, 2011 @ 05:35:48
i just dont get it, these charlatans play re-runs of the same show taped several years ago over and over again (Murdocks campmeetings, Paula White, and Todd coontz) How can ANYONE be taken by these so called men of GOD? It makes me upset when I think about how vulnerable people in dire need sews to these baffoons and belive with their hearts what the “preachers” are saying, only to be in worse shape than what they were in before they sewed, and the “preachers” are doing swell livin large, and aren’t even thinking about the so called “partners” who made them wealthy. BIGMAYNE, I agree with you church is nothing more than a business, I too visited Christian Faith Fellowship in Milwaukee and left. I simply cant get with a church with a BIG neon sign that says SINNERS WELCOME with an ATM right under that sign. Come to find out Bisho Darryl Hines owned TWO night clubs up there in Milwaukee, the Matrix on East Capitol DR. and another one I dont remember. How can a “man of God” partake in such garbage as a worldly nightclub and then turn around the next morning to get up in the pulpit? Anyhoo, I just pray for the SPIRITS that operate in them driving to do these things leave out of them in Jesus name before its too late, because the normal being WOULD NOT do stuff like this. The best thing to do is ask the HOLY SPIRIT where to donate tithes/offering to. When Coontz-murdick come on, I either turn away or just shut the tv off.
Jun 16, 2011 @ 18:12:00
OOOPs. Update. I just saw a new show that Coontz did. Now he’s asking for $2,000.00. I guess not enough people were sending the $1,000.00 that he usually asks for. He always targets business owners. He kept asking people to leave him their phone numbers and he says I’m gonna call you in 24 hours. He pointed to scripture that said 20 and 2 thousand oxen that King Solomon offered. I take that as 22,000. He said it was 120,000. He just says the same thing over and over. God’s taking you to a new sssseasson. That’s how he say’s it. I get nauseated when he says a young couple get married and they want a baby so the man plants a seed into the womb of his wife. YUK! If he was the last man on earth, I’d be celibate. On this show he’s wearing a pink tie. I guess it’s one of his “power suits.” I hope because he’s asking for $2,000.00 that maybe not many are giving him money and that he’s getting desperate. One person, somewhere said that Todd is his uncle and another poster said, your uncle needs to repent. I would have said your uncle needs to put himself out of his misery and blow his brains out, what little there are. Yeah, Todd’s elevator doesn’t go to the top. Hahahaha! Todd, schmodd! Didn’t anyone like my song that I made up? I thought it was funny. It goes to the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club. Not to defame them, but it just popped into my head. It goes like this…….
tee hee!
Who’s the leader of the club
that loves hundred dollar bills?
Monkey Murd O O Ock and
Coo Coo Coo Coo Coontz!
Please post your opinion.
Jun 17, 2011 @ 18:12:13
Is it not written beloved, that in the last days, that men will be lovers of self, more than lovers of God? That there would be those who come to us in sheeps’ clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves? If we are the elect of God, through faith believing in the work He did on the Cross, then let us take on the spirit of Christ Jesus, our Lord and redeemer!
Did the Son of God come preaching these things which are espoused by these “merchandizers” of the gospel of Jesus Christ? What did Jesus teach us about men of wealth? Did He not say: “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!” What did Jesus say to the a certain ruler who came to Him and asked: “Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” And Jesus said unto him: “Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.” “Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor thy father and mother.” And he said: All these things have I done from my youth up.” Now when Jesus had heard these things, he said unto him: “Yet, thou lackest one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.” The man went away very sorrowfull because he had great wealth. (last sentence paraphrased) (Luke 18: 18-30)
The infallible and inerrant Word of God declares where your treasure is, there shall your heart be! (Matthew 6:21, Luke 12:34) When you give to God, do your tithes to the Church and when you give offerings, give to those who care for the widows and fatherless, to the poor and the needy, to those in the mission field, and those you see who have need, if you would find favor with God.
DO NOT give to men who espouse this doctrine of devils, who preach “the planting of seed money”, who do not preach Christ Crucified! Those who preach the gospel were not called to be enriched with silver and gold, nor with great material gain. Nor are they called to be served by the saints of God, but to serve! Christ came to serve, not to obtain wealth and riches of this world, so shall we who proclaim the riches of God in His holy Word desire material gain for ourselves above what is needed for today. I preach the gospel of Jesus Christ because HE called me, with signs and wonders, that I might bear witness to the light. I do not seek silver or gold, nor riches of this world, but to serve! I have not asked for alms from any man!
Jun 17, 2011 @ 23:11:22
Beloved; In my previous post, I stated that you should give your tithes to the “church” which is commanded by God. But, if your church does not preach the entire living Word of God, if your church preaches a different doctrine than that which was presented to you by holy men who spoke under the guidance and direction of the Holy Ghost (The Holy Bible) than change your “church” affiliation. Why would you or anyone support any teacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ who perverts the truth of the gospel of our holy Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
I personally advocate with pleadings to you all, if you desire a true blessing from our holy Lord, provide offerings for the needy of Israel. There are several outreach programs (Christians United for Israel and International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, etc.) that are doing just that, with over 80% of the money donated going to the hungry and homeless of Israel in these dark days. Is it not written: “Those who bless you, I will bless, and those who curse you, I will curse.”? This everlasting covenant which was established by the Almighty God with Israel long ago remains even to this day! Personally, I have never given any offering with any expectation of self benefit, but with thanks giving to my heavenly Father!
From the dark days of Jewish persecution in Germany, a legend has survived. according to the story: A pastor, acting upon Nazi orders, looked upon his congregation and told them, “All of you who had Jewish fathers will leave and not return.” A few worshippers rose and slipped out of the sanctuary. The pastor then said, “All of you who had Jewish mothers must go and not return.” Again, a few worshippers arose and departed. Suddenly those who remained in their pews turned pale and began to tremble with fear. The figure of Christ on the cross above the altar loosed itself and left the church!
Doubless there are those among you that will scoff and deny that this could have happened. There are those who will claim that the Jews were replaced by the present day Christian church! But “Replacement Theology” is Idolatry! For our holy Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God was born a Jew! he lived his life as a Jew! He died as a Jewish Rabbi on the Cross at Galgotha for the redemption of many! He will return as a Jew! And nothing in your theology will alter this fact! Selah
Jun 27, 2011 @ 19:05:44
Saw one of the most hilarious moments, as funny as anything Coontz does, that I’ve ever seen on so called Christian tv this morning before work. While flipping thru the channels there was Kenneth Copelands’ show with his daughter guest hosting. (Cronyism is alive and well at KCM) It was Kellie Copeland Ward Kutz, now Swisher preaching up a storm and also notifying everyone she is a new momma with her latest new husband. Let’s see I believe that’s 5 kids now with 3 different daddies for Kellie. Guess what she was preaching on today? Love and relationships!!!!!!! LMAO!! Yes, I could barely control my laughter. That’s like Bernie Madoff giving advice on ethics! GOOD GRIEF, a twice divorced woman, thrice married, with 5 kids from 3 different daddies giving advice on marriage, love and relationships?????? Are you kidding me? You can’ write this stuff. Only in the bizarre world of tv preachers can this happen.
I tell ya this is as ridiculous as it gets for these vultures. Never a dull moment with the likes of Murdock, Coontz, the Copeland clan, Eddie “The Molester” Long and far too many others to mention in the corrupt world of tv preachers. Having Kellie Copeland Ward Kutz Swisher speak on love and relationships is pure insanity.
Jun 27, 2011 @ 19:31:25
Copeland, Koontz, Murdock, Paula White and the list goes on and on, these heretics will be held accountable by the one true Holy God in the day of judgement. Their lies and covetous greed does not change the truth that repentance and putting ones trust in Jesus Christ alone will begin a relationship with God that will change the life of the repenter and provide eternal life. We need to pray for these as we too are condemed without the grace of God. Is our one lie, one lustful look, one hateful thought any less an abomination to a holy God, I believe not. These men are evil just like any of us before the grace of God gives the power and desire to love and obey Him. But by the grace of God anyone of us could have or own program lying to others and twisting God’s word for our own profit. May God give us His heart, His eyes, His ears, His hands, and His desire to see the lost sinner come to Him in repentance even is his name is Coontz, White, Murdock or your name or mine.
Jul 02, 2011 @ 11:56:45
Jimmy Swaggart, James Robison, Pat Robertson, whatever. They’re all the same. Selling religion like toilet paper.
Jul 09, 2011 @ 04:02:17
Quit picking on Dr. Todd Coontz. If you plant your seed through him to Almighty God, then God will grant you a financial turnaround, or get your lost spouse back for you, or cure your cancer. See, it’s just that the planting of the seed is just to show God that you really have faith, and Dr. Coontz is acting as a tool to help you do this. It is well known if you read your Bible that God reacts to these seeds planted in faith and does all the think that Dr. Coontz says he will. He is, after, God!
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:08:51
I will NOT stop “picking on Turd Coontz. I hate his guts. HE IS PREYING ON DESPERATE PEOPLE. HE IS A PIECE OF CRAP! If he ever comes to my neck of the woods he will be sorely embarressed!!!! He is not fit to breath the air. He needs to stick his thumb up his butt, let a fart and that should clear his mind! ha ha ha ha!
Jul 16, 2011 @ 07:45:33
Brothers and Sisters, to blame, judge, or trying to bring down people that God has blessed, there are some few things we should agree on:
1-Their private life, trouble and divorce etc are part of life turbulences and God is a merciful Father and he has offered his only son because he knew we will not make it on our own( we can’t be holy, for all have sinned) to his kingdom because Lucifer and is waging war continuously against children of God. However Jesus being our Lord, Saviour standing ever since as our lawyer…Lucifer is defeated and God accept us and cleanse us from troubles of life perpetrated by Lucifer.
Brethren we are all from the same family no matter what! we have less than 100 years to live and we want to do good and to God be all the Glories.
2-God is above the whole universe, his wisdom power, are beyond our small heads, and our small brain in which we think we know everything. God call people no matter their what they have been through, no matter how many destruction, risk, hardship they have come through(Paul on his way to Damascus God faced him and changed him)…God always call them out and use them as vessels to serve and he give them the Holy Spirit to minister to his children. Some preachers when they step down the pulpit they don’ t remember much of what they were preaching, though they can remember Bible Chapters and verses….so God is using them.
3-Talking about money, wealth etc God always want to be part of our life family from the time he created us. When Lucifer deceived Adam and Eve, God immediately call them…..to cloth them, when Cain killed Abel call call Cain and ask him, no matter wha we go through God want us to live wealthy, healthy life….if others can’t be prosperous it is because we have built so many financial cobwebs and we have accepted and we are trapped in, then the financial rules and principles and dominion of this world is on shoulders: Taxes, petrol prices, salary range that just cover the expenses of the month, ungodly bossed that cause you stress and anxiety, and continuous complains, sickness….all those things that the devil want to inflict to the children of God are there.
But when you come to the Lord and you Jesus Christ us your Lord and Saviour, the ungodly boss cannot stress you out, the Joy of God govern your life, prosperity happen in way beyond the logic of this world.
You also don’t wanna live by the rules of this world: Vanity, unecessary party that burn part of your budget, God give you wisdom to prosper through different sources. Please brothers, trust the Bible and be on your knee God will give you your portion. Remember whatever material or financial things God give us, what is very important to God is our Spirit and Soul and when he calls us home to him we don’t take any of those things. But let’s pray and respect servants of God whaterver mistake they have made, the Holy Spirit will remind them to confess and move on God has promised he will not abandon, further he said even if our sins are as red as crimsons he can fogive us……
I am just a Christian and I believe God can use each of us in different ways to bring the Gospel in the whole world
I work as peacekeeper technician with an international agency, and using my monthly income to build a medical center which will become ” Christian Medical center to help the poorest community” save lives of children women and men now I am desparately in need of used Ambulances to transfer children from rural area to the city pediatrics center, but do I have to ask people for help for purchasing the ambulance? No, I have a towel in front of my bed on which I kneel down morning and evening to talk to God to bring the project to a successful end. Why we children of God to help each other we start calling ministries, missionary projects ” scam” evil people, all kind of stuff? even if you give money to Ministers the money is used in these civilized days to pay for Electricity, Sat Systems, Missionary works all round!! if you ask for accountability, I agree if is fair, maybe the ministries can set a side a week in a year to inform and give financial repports to donors.
Brethren we have less than 100 years of life to live and let’s do good, let’s tackle our differences with respect, peaceful heart and Love.
God bless you all:
God bless Paula, Todd, Benni, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Crefflo D. All servants of God and all of you here reacting with comments …..God bless you we are all one family before God.

This quack can’t even pronounce the word “Deuteronomy” and he’s a “doctor”? What a joke. One day he, along with others like Benny Hinn, Mike Murdock and the Cerullo clowns will have to answer for their behaviour.
Aug 10, 2011 @ 04:12:35
after reading some of the comments, i agree with much of what is being said. the one thing i do not remember being mentioned is the seed. when Jesus talked about the sowing of the seed, it was not about money but it was about the word of God. these false teachers have made it all about money which is no surprise. dr. coontz(and i will use that term very loosely) and mike murdock talk about how you cannot buy a miracle from God and then they proceed to do the very same thing they said you could not do. i have listened to them and it is hard to keep up with the heresy. one thing is true. they should be writing tales. the sad part is people buy into it without seeing if it lines up with scripture and some do it out of greed.
Aug 10, 2011 @ 10:46:37

I guess no one told Coontz that it’s not Deutoromony. Also, this half wit always says happenchance. I believe it’s happenstance. Just another case of a stupid idiot that can’t cut the mustard, trying to steal rather than make an honest living and is quite successful at robbing people. I read a post about a man who had a wife dying of a chronic disease and he, in desperation, sent that filthy Coontz one thousand dollars. Well, his wife died and when he tried to confront that snake he got nowhere. Coontz is preying on the desperate and THAT is why I hate him. I tried to tell them to repent to no avail. He should be shot at dawn. Yes, you are correct, I fall short too and I know it. I do not say I’m anointed or have any special link to God. He does! I am dirty rags in the sight of God, but for being a born again believer, I’m covered with Jesus’ blood which makes me clean. I have made terrible mistakes in my life that only hurt myself and my poor parents, but have now turned around and it seems I really hate injustice. I would love to see anyone that’s pimping God to stop it and turn around, honestly I would. Unfortunately, the devil has alot of people in his back pocket and will never release them. The people themselves must make a conscious decision to give their life to God and He will set them free. Just needed to air myself out, that’s all. I wish I could send a message out that the world could see at one time warning them that they only have to go to our Creator themselves and ask if in need or to just talk to Him and give their heart to Him without charge and not to be fooled by those horrors. That they will only end up worse off and tell them they don’t need a middle man like Todd. We have free access to Him since the sin debt has been PAID IN FULL by our Lord and savior Jesus the Christ. You are correct, my friend. We should pray for stray people.
Aug 29, 2011 @ 03:03:23
i have been blessed by God in many ways but if he only thing i received from God was forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life, would’nt that be enough? if you want to learn more about the word of faith cult(and yes i would call it a cult) go to youtube and watch justin peters” call for discernment. there are three parts that are abot two hours long. he goes into great detail about the movement, the history, and some very good videos of some of the false teachings and heresies of wof movement. just to add my own personal testimony. i needed cataract surgery in both my eyes. i did not have the money for it, but in the end the surgeon who did the work did it for a reduced price and God provided the money for it and all this was done without planting a $58 dollar seed. i thank God for what he has done in my life an he has done because he love me.
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:35:45
God bless you, Greg. Anyone with medical problems has my sympathy. I’ve had my share of those things too and they frighten the dickens out of me. Hope you’re surgery went well and you’re in the pink!
Aug 29, 2011 @ 19:07:26
Caught the old B.S. artist, Kenneth Copeland spewing his nonsense this morning with his brainwashed grandson. Somehow the talk ended up being about Kenny and airplanes, which happens far too often, trying to justify his use of his airplanes in ministry, how, when he worked for Oral Roberts, that Oral taught him he needed his own plane because it was anointed, therefore protected. Kenny explained, insanely, that if he took a bus to travel it would not be anointed and he couldn’t control who was on that bus with him! Copeland and Oral are sorry excuses of a human being. Copeland belongs in prison. A ministry is supposed to be about charity, but in the case of these so-called “ministries”, much of the funds donated to them are used for the tv preachers own personal use. Copeland has a fleet of planes, is always bragging on them and his billionaire status. If any other charity had their executives raking in the bucks by the millions and using it for airplanes, motorcycles, mansions and their opulant lifestyles they would be FIRED! But not in the case of these sickening tv preachers. They blatantly flaunt their wealth! Sadly, this kind of criminal activity continues because ANYTHING goes in the world of religion in America.
The prosperity gospel works, but only for the rotten tv preacher, who implores you to send him your cash because he says YOU’ll Be Blessed! Disgusting tv preachers like Copeland taking your cash insisting it will then result in a blessing for you?
HOGWASH!
Sep 16, 2011 @ 11:02:29
I laugh my butt off every time I see this dude and his entourage. And what’s with the twitching anyway. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed it. Is that supposed to be like the Holy Spirit taking charge of his faculties….lol. More like the devil tying to get out. Satan says, “If there is anything I hate, it’s competition.”
Seriously, it’s sad how this guy has no shame whatsoever and it’s more than just a character flaw. He is truly evil, like a sociopath, no feeling, no empathy.
I know it’s tough for a lot people because they want to believe in something good, and that their faith will help them prosper both spiritually and financially. But, save your money friends. I will pray for you and you don’t have to send a dime.
There is power in prayer. I know this to be true because I have faith in that which is truly good and at harmony with God. In 2005 I was diagnosed with brain cancer, non operable, and was given three to four months to live. Well… I’m still here, here to tell you that God loves you. Don’t despair. Let your faith guide you in that which is truly good. I will pray for you and I hope you will do the same for others. Pass it on….

Oh Man! You poor thing. You truly are brave. If that happened to me I would flip out! I believe the same thing. I go to our Heavenly Father myself in Jesus name and ask my requests and He will answer. Isn’t it amazing how in that story of the woman with the issue of blood, in the New Testament, which I have read over and over, that Todd now knows the woman’s name, he said it’s Lidia. No place in the Bible does it say the name of that person. Todd is preying on people who are practically strangers to the Bible and who are in total desperation. He is a deplorable piece of trash.
God bless you, Paul.

I don’t know who the bigger frauds are: Coontz and Co. or all the people that complain and judge him…in other words, if you know this guy is running a non-profit while living the lifestyle of the rich and famous (and I agree they are, such as Copeland), then DO SOMETHING about it!!
Organize and make these frauds accountable or stop belly-aching and doing nothing!
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:30:51
If I had the means they would be gone!
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:34:52
I have no power to change the constitution, you fool!! It’s an ammendment freedom of religion. How can anyone fight that? Murdock was sifted through, but because he has alot of money he has alot of power so he pays off people and they leave him alone! If I can save one person from losing money to that scuz bucket I won’t stop “belly aching” as you call it, I’ll only belly ache LOUDER!
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:22:26
How come my comments never show up? Hmm, not inclined to think this is an open forum free of censoring.
Oct 27, 2011 @ 18:31:56
It is an open forum. I saw your post. They only reject spam.
Nov 07, 2011 @ 20:53:50
Carleton, you say we the people who can’t stand these vultures are frauds because we don’t do something about it. NONSENSE. Enough complaints about these crooks by those who see their CRIMINAL activity resulted in 6 of the biggest of these rotten tv “ministries” investigated by the Grassley commission. Unfortunately Grassley is a right wing religious zealot and just as I had predicted NOTHING happened, despite the OBVIOUS criminal activity of the likes of these sub-human tv preachers who practically guarantee a 10 to 100 fold return on the cash you give them. Anything goes with religion in America. These con artists flourish on a daily basis and the nation allows it.
Questions were asked but nothing was done about their crimes. People who hate these crooks are not frauds, Carleton. You know Copeland, Hinn, Murdock and too many others to name here are living the high life off the backs of those who can least afford to give up their cash, you admit that. Well judging by your comment that makes you a fraud too. Are you organizing folks to make these frauds accountable? If you agree they are frauds they you need to stop belly aching and do something about it. The Grassley commission tried to do something about it and accomplished nothing.
I knew then that religion is too powerful, that tv preacher practices cannot be questioned in America so those disgusting tv preachers are free to continue to ply their trade of spouting false promises while begging for your cash. What a gig! And all tax free.
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:14:11
The problem is in one of the ammendments in the constitution which is freedom of religion and it only takes, by law, four people to make up an organization and they probably know it. The Bible is clear on how things would be in these last days. Lovers of money and material things, without natural affection, in other words cold and callas. No one really cares about these slobs ripping people off or at least not enough people care to fight this evil. It would be quite an undertaking to do it because they are quite rich and, well, you know how it is to fight someone or something like that. The politicians have enough to worry about with the national debt, which is, I think, 14 trillion. Besides, that stupid Coontz tells people to “get back to the Bible” but he is only defeating his own purpose because if they do that, then they will see through his scam and drop him like a bad habit. My experience in life has taught me that if you just “let out the rope” people WILL hang themselves. They really make me mad because they are targeting the hurting and desperate. They will get their comeupance one day, I promise you. This world and our own country are morally bankrupt, sadly. I mean really! How can you have an eight minute miracle? I mean it does happen, but not through paying some idiot. Like I said before, if I met any of them, I would publicly spit right in their ugly faces.
Oct 27, 2011 @ 19:31:56
Well Carleton, old buddy, not much we can do directly about these con men that wont get us all in jail for a very long time.
much as we might like to do something drastic. What we can do is hopefully educate people about what utter nonsesnse they spew…but if the sheep are too stupid, then I guess they will all get shorn. Life will thunder on my firiend.
Oct 30, 2011 @ 21:06:00
God speaks more about money, finances and provision in the Bible than He does about prayer, faith, salvation, and love, COMBINED. Money and provision are important to God.
Nov 03, 2011 @ 19:32:54
Utter nonsense
Nov 10, 2011 @ 19:36:36
Grassley committee tried to do something, Carleton, about these frauds. Nothing happened after about 3 years of investigation. Grassley is a religious right winger, so I knew nothing would come of the investigation into six of the worst of these rotten tv preachers. (All they had to do was WATCH some of these charlatans in action.) So Carleton, we who can’t stand what these sub human vultures do and don’t act on it are not the frauds in this case. TV preachers like Coontz, Hinn, Copeland, Bakker, Long, Dollar, White, Murdock and far too many others to name are the frauds. If the Grassley investigation was futile in an attempt to expose these crooks, then what chance does anyone else have? Religion is too powerful in this country and nothing can be questioned so crooks like these disgusting, begging tv preachers are free to ply their trade and rip people off 27/7.
Nov 11, 2011 @ 05:06:06
Religion is not too powerful in this country…unless I misunderstand the definition of power; but I’ll leave that alone.
If some misguided, gullible and generally unwise individual believes in tithing, (God’s law, not some huckster’s) and there is a God, then it doesn’t matter the outcome of the dollars contributed. Be they used for a ministry directly or someone personally…God is in control.
If you think God is not in control you limit God and hence God is not God. So, do you believe?
Nov 21, 2011 @ 16:47:36
I believe that religion is a private matter for every person. I believe that a belief in God requires no priests, no preachers, no ministers, no churches. I believe that a person’s goodness and salvation is a function of his or her nature and charachter and has nothing to do with what they believe or don’t believe. We control our own destinies; not God. If God was in control then we would have no responsibility for our actions; we could just blame God.
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:21:16
We have been given, by God, free moral agent. In other words we have the privilege of free choice, by God Himself, because He does not want robots. It’s that simple. God DOES control everything. It’s not a religion it’s a reality, but everyone MUST decide for themselves and that’s what God wants. We are for Him or against Him. It’s up to the individual. We can choose to be caring to our fellow man or we can be warlike. Think about it, really. I’m not trying to be contrary, just want to put my two cents in to help someone.
Jan 20, 2012 @ 04:05:19
Am I to conclude that you advocate that we all hide our candle under a basket? If we are the light to the world, how then shall our light shine forth to those who live in darkness?
Jan 20, 2012 @ 15:02:17
You may conclude whatever you wish Jordan. Each of us must seek the light in our own way and should we choose to turn to another for help and guidance, that would be our decision to do so. Should we choose to ignore the sanctimonious preaching of greedy preachers who only seek to line their own pockets at the expense of others , that too would be a choice. Coontz, Cerillo, White, Murdock, etc etc will fleece the sheep..and the sheep deserve it because they put their faith in priests rather than themselves and God.
Dec 02, 2011 @ 22:12:32
Honestly, the whole seed sewing thing with these ministries, prophets, etc is an attempt to pimp and prositiute the word to swindle innocent people, sad. Its too bad because there are a lot of ministries out there that are LEGIT and you dont have to sew a certain dollar amount seed, but because the people have been swindled, a lot of people avoid church altogether. Thank GOD that some churches have live streaming and archives, that way you’ll know what they are about before you set foot inside the place. As far as the televangelist goes, most are hogwash, some are okay. Just be discerning!
Dec 03, 2011 @ 23:40:34
Not really. It’s a business, like any other. You guys want to sanitize it and understand it, but look at it from the bigger picture. Is business out for you or for business? Don’t answer that; dumb question.
This is a business. They just happen to start right out with one of the best tax loopholes around: non profit business, pay no tax and do it in the name of Jesus. And believe me … Jesus was here, is real and is listening. He is coming back and he knows Everyone’s heart. So, don’t judge just do as the bible says.
Jan 18, 2012 @ 20:55:50
exhort! Spare not! If you see evil you must face it down. Not judge. We are not supposed to ignore evil. If we can save one person from the clutches of these snakes then I hope we do but not be being quiet but by letting everyone know.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 13:55:07
Coontz, Tillton, Copeland, Hinn, Couch and “pink hair”, Popoff, Danny “no evil oil” Davis plus all the rest of these literal snake oil salesmen nearly always make their emphasis about “you” and your need for riches. They prey on the pride, lust and arrogance of people. The original sin I think. I suspect that Satan has deceived (by their choice or temptation) these obscenely vile and greedy slime bags.
Some of the “partners” truly need help but want the quick “24 hour double for your trouble”, 30, 60 or 90 day turnaround “miracle”. Hurry, do not delay is their pressure tactic as if time is an issue for God.
Mixing a little Truth with a big lie or twisted, convoluted deception is a long time concoction of poison being fed to desperate people.
If sending in “seed money” will just about guarantee a financial return why don’t we get one when we tithe to our own church or other Christian charity? Does anyone have an answer for that? Our rewards are in Heaven, be patient.
Serve God with fear, reverence, a contrite heart, faith and love, He will listen and answer perfectly, according to His will.
May the peace, wisdom, grace and love of our precious, perfect and loving Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:24:41
Mr. Steven Brooks, I agree with you. Amazing anyone can be fooled into thinking they must pay anyone for answered prayer. God will sort out all on the last day.
Jan 04, 2012 @ 09:45:40
Does anyone suppose at any given time in history it was ever an easy thing for the church to preach on prosperity? From the time God Himslef taught about giving to the church, His house, people started holding back on this and so He says in Malachi you have cheated me in your tithes and offerings. Now for the gospel to be preached around the world, money is required. those who write the gospel need money to sustain and prosper the work. the devil has succefully convince people that if ever a Christian preached prosperity and sowing of offerings for prosperity thye are being canny and greedy. well the good thing about the walk with God is that it is by faith. no body with faith needs to be convinced by anyone to give, it is by faith they do so. many never and will never come to have the priveledge to give to the house of God. it may seem foolish to some how Christins do business but God did say His wisdom is foolishness to the world. so go right ahead and think we are fools for giving and seeking God to prosper us. I’d rather be a fool for things of God than be smart in the things of men.
Jan 06, 2012 @ 10:06:05
I would not have you to be ignorant concerning the payment of tithes and offerings beloved. The tithes should be paid into the Church (your church of choice). From these tithes, payment to the minister are made (the shepherd of the flock). Other church costs (lighting, property, maintainance, etc.) are made.
Offerings can be made to what ever purpose which the Lord may lay on your heart. There are many more worthy causes where a true Christian can give much needed money in the form of personal offerings. I would never be so foolish or blind to pay money into Coontz’ or Murdocks’ dubious and highly questionable “ministries”. They do not sow into any cause except their own lust for money. They are both wolves in sheeps clothing. As a born again Christian, I took my Lords advice: “Be as wise as serpents, but be as harmless as doves.” Investigate these two men as I did and then you will know that they are servants of their own bellies and not of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When Elijah asked of the widow of Zarephath, that she bring him a vessel of water and a meal cake to eat, she declared that she had only a handfull of meal, enough for herself and her son to eat, and then they would die. Elijah told her to bring him the meal cake first and then prepare for herself and her son as she had said. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, the barrel of meal would not waste and the cruse of oil would not fail until the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth and they did eat of the meal and the oil for many days thereafter. (1 King 17: 9-16)
Tell me daughter, did Elijah walk by faith? And did not the Lord God provide for his every need? Is it not written that the birds fed Elijah in the wilderness where he ate of locust and honey? Where does it declare that Elijah put up unto himself stores of silver and gold? Did the Apostles put up unto themselves wealth? Did they clothe themselves in fine garments and build unto themselves palacial mansions?
Tell me, I pray thee, did not our holy Lord, Jesus Christ, feed the 5000 with a few loaves and fishes? What did our Lord say to the young man who came to Him and asked of our Lord what he must do to be saved? For our Lord, discerning that the young man was very rich in worldly goods, told him to go and sell all he has and give it to the poor, and come and follow Him. Did the young man not go away sad because he had much possessions. (Matt 19: 16-22)
When you tithe, beloved, give to the Church as God hath commanded and when you give your offerings unto the Lord, give to those who have need, as our holy Lord commands you to give. If thy brother is in need, give as you are moved with Christ like compassion, seeking Gods wise counsel. Be not deceived by lying spirits who desire to ensnare you, but in simple faith, with a cheerful and compassionate heart. Do not lay up riches unto yourself in this world, where thieves can break in and steal, but lay up unto yourself riches in heaven. For those who store up riches in this world have received their reward.
May 02, 2012 @ 19:22:19
I is not true. The Bible makes no mention of the woman’s name at all. Todd is a liar. I promise you.
Jan 04, 2012 @ 10:00:29
In any case if ever I am cheated into giving, I dont think God seats in heaven thinking boo hoo to you, but rather He honours my seed, then He deals with the person who cheated me. it is always a win win situation for the children of God. all things work out for good for those who love God, whatever is stolen from us it is restored to us a 100 fold, and whatever is given into truthful ministries God honours that as well. whatever money I give to the poor man at the corner who may or may not use it for good but buys alcohol or drugs instead, God honours that also. whatever leaves my hand for God, God will honour.
Jan 04, 2012 @ 17:12:03
Is there any limit to that reasoning? Doesn’t God expect us to be good stewards with what He has blessed us?
May 02, 2012 @ 19:26:26
You do not want to give Money to these greedy pigs. If you are inclined to then you must be one of their goons. Which rhymes. With coontz.
Jan 17, 2012 @ 00:30:25
Learning about God is free for the taking because of technology. Preachers, I think are no longer needed. Every church I tried was the same story…..they want to dig into your personal life and get your money. Everything is too organized. Bibles and Bible teaching is on the internet and on discs which read it to you so there is no need for all this “fluff” religion. In other words, if you REALLY want to learn of God and his law, you can learn it without setting foot in any church. You only have to make the effort.
Jan 20, 2012 @ 03:54:25
Interesting theology and perhaps it would be acceptable in the eyes of those who are alone on a deserted island. But our Lord declared that “where two or three are gathered together in my name, there shall I be in the midst of them”. On the day of Pentecost, were not far more than a few gathered together in the upper room, making supplication unto our holy God? (Read the Book of Acts)
There is much that can benefit the believer by joining together with other Christians. It is through the gathering together of the elect of God where the Holy Ghost can manifest Himself through the Spiritual gifts, which God has given to the body of Christ. These are given for the edification of the believer and the body of Christ. If you choose to be an isolationist, then pray tell me, how will you adjust to fellowship with the saints of God when you enter into heaven and are faced with a multitude of fellow believers? And to whom shall you pay tithes as the Lord has commanded, unto yourself?
May 02, 2012 @ 20:07:29
I certainly would not give coontz or his cohorts ice in the winter Jordan you asshole.
May 02, 2012 @ 22:16:38
I’ve become completely Darwinistic about this “seed time” lunacy. If you are stupid enough to believe it, then by all means contribute to Ztnooc’s bank account. You deserve it.

Jan 18, 2012 @ 21:09:00
Fara , if you feel a need to give money, give it to organizations that will use it to help the people in their care, not for Rolexs, Lexuss, mansions and jets. Trust me, if you give to St Judes hospital, or Wounded Warriors or any of the many charities that TRULY do the work of God, you will please God far more than giving it to a charlatan like Coontz, Murdoch, White, etc.
Jan 29, 2012 @ 05:48:36
I too saw Coontz on his TV show saying that the name of the woman with the issue of blood was Lidia. I don’t know if that is true or not. He also mentioned that the name of the boy with two fish and five loaves was Ztnooc. I didn’t know where he got that until I read the name backwards. He has really been pushing the eight minute miracle every time I have seen his show.
He has been using the numbers 2,7and 3 in his money gathering strategy . He said that a few months ago God gave him the biggest single day financial favor of his life. He said that the amount was big enough for him to retire on. He says he can not tell exactly how it happened but that the numbers 2,7 and 3 were involved. He has been using these numbers to solicit people to sow a “seed” of $ 273 into his ministry. He said that his 2,7 and 3 miracle is much bigger than his Fedex/UPS miracle.

Other Christians? I’m not gonna dispute what I believe in all I know is that Todd Coontz is treading on thin ice. It is not a belief it is a reality. Don’t you know the devil is the ruler of this world? If you’re so pious, you would know that!! Todd Coontz and those skunks like him are destined for hell. Believe it!
Feb 10, 2012 @ 19:04:19
Tithes my butt!!!!! Give to food pantries you ding dong!!!! Otherwise you’ll just be lining someone’s pockets and I would not even venture to say give it to me if you want to waste it. I don’t need it or want it!!!!
Feb 12, 2012 @ 05:48:01
Coontz seems to be really pushing the eight minute miracle on his show. He always starts by saying “you are only eight minutes away from your miracle. I can sense it in my spirit”.
Also I heard him say that the name of the woman with the issue of blood is Lidia. I don’t know if this is true or not. I am not a biblical scholar like Coontz.
What caught my attention is when he said that the name of the boy with the five fish and two loaves was Ztnooc. He said that this was an ancient jewish name. I almost believed him until I read the name backwards.
Also, Coontz has been bragging about how much weight he has lost. He is attributing this to realizing that health is as important as Godliness. I think the real reason is much simpler. I think that more people are becoming aware of his con game and the donations are starting to dry up and he has had to give up the prime rib and steak dinners.
Feb 12, 2012 @ 15:58:30
Let’s get past this red tape and get to the point. Todd Coontz is a fake and a fraud and all the other snakes on TV with him. I don’t have to name names. Everyone knows them all. He looks into the TV camera and falls all over himself saying oh, you’re gonna believe someone, why not believe me? He’s trying to brain wash people into giving him money and I hope the companies he mentions in his get rich quick scheme file a law suit against him. Legitimate companies do not hand out money for free to anyone. How can anyone be so stupid as to believe that nonsense? This country is monetarily and morally bankrupt.
Feb 13, 2012 @ 19:04:27
Sounds like one of Coontz’s goons was on here. He has a new one out now. It’s amazing how he just says the same thing over and over in different shows. And that stupid Murdock. He has no idea how stupid and ugly he really looks. Boy, that lady was right. The devil is dancing!!!
Feb 15, 2012 @ 05:23:55
Coontz has really been pushing the eight minute miracle on his TV show. He always starts off by saying “you are only eight minutes from your miracle. I can sense it in my spirit”

I think that more and more people have caught on to his con game and the money is starting to dry up and he has had to cut back on the prime rib and steak dinners. One can only hope.
One of the most offensive things that Coontz and Murdock say on a regular basis is that God is telling them that people should sow their “seed” on their credit or debit card for their convenience. Murdock says ” the same credit card that got you into trouble can get you out of trouble”. I believe that they say that so that people don’t have time to think about what they are doing. If people sat down to write a check, they might have misgivings and put a stop to the foolishness.

I have been trying to post here for a week now. Every time I post it tells me that my post is awaiting moderation. The next time I come back to the site my post has dissapeared. I already have about six prior posts on this site. I have never had any problems before. I am probably doing something wrong. Any assistance is appreciated.
Mar 02, 2012 @ 22:55:14
I always wondered if there were people like you out there… Thank you to the people who started this conversation about this “used car salesman” approach to representing a sleezy interpretation of religion. I got so mad that I called their “800″ numbers just to complain. I’m finding that this group is quite large and even includes possibly some pastors who I thought would never want to be associated with snakes and those are Perry Stone and John Hagee. I have seen them also begging for money on these so called Christian networks.
Who can we trust???
Mar 07, 2012 @ 19:14:30
We can trust Jesus and the bible. If we want to trust a pastor or teacher we must constantly compare his teaching to God’s Word.
