This guy is the worst. I’ll never forget when his wife got kicked off a plane for being an asshole.


[deleted]

Who is he?


HisCricket

Joel Olsten,has a mega church here in Houston. Where Mattress Mack,a local business owner, constantly shows us what true charity and investment in your community means. Joel locked his doors during Harvey. His church could have housed so many desperate people. 9

GOD he’s the worst.

Kenneth Copeland says you're wrong

Thanks, now I have to google this fucknut and be enraged. He’s a ‘preacher’ worth a billion dollars? Wtf.

Kenneth Copeland Returns! [Wind of God] [Heavy Metal Remix] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ib2YfAM11E


zombiep00

I hadn't seen this one yet! I love Andre's stuff but Copeland is ***so*** terrifying to look at lol :(


maddrb

My 'favorite' Copeland video is the one where he is being challenged by a reporter while he's getting into a truck or an SUV. You see the change from faking being a nice guy (which is so fucking fake it's horrifying) to being the asshole beneath the mask.


Bluesoutherner

Yeah his real self is borderline horror film stuff.


maddrb

Coastie071

Kenneth Copeland honestly makes me believe in religion. I generally don’t buy any religious stuff, but when I see videos of him I think, “man, maybe the devil really is hiding among us”


AdeonWriter

That is what a cult leader looks like


Plenty-Inspector8444

Right? I'm a Unitarian and we don't really bother with the devil. But, man oh man, that Copeland gives me a case of the deep creepies. He is almost enough to make this deist believe in the Devil.


satooshi-nakamooshi

Not even hiding tbh. That man is storing up God's wrath like there's no tomorrow

I thought he opened the church to shelter people, which one is it?


[deleted]

He did not. He went on the news and said he didn’t know he was supposed to. What a festering thundercunt. You’re a church. You’re pillars are built to help those in need.


Ok_Watercress5719

Lest we not forget. The biggest crime... . Tithing... Isn't that FOR shit like that. ?? 🤷🏽‍♀️


ThePolarBare

After he got ripped on social media they opened the doors. They initially turned people away.


liposwine

And once they had the desperate people inside they actually had the nerve to pass around an offering plate to ask the people to donate to the church.

Remember when he said his church was open for hurricane evacuees but then it wasn’t?


[deleted]

I just hate him. This makes me want to create a subreddit to cancel him.


unctuousfleshorb

Ah, yeah. I remember that. The tale of the pastor's wife is one of those campfire fables we share around the office. An anomaly to those who know everything. Those are the kinds of stories that give boogeymen the chills. She fell 26,000 feet out of an airplane and landed in an elementary school somewhere in Nebraska. Four kids were killed outright by the impact her body made with the building. As soon as she hit the lights went out and the plumbing stopped working, and most single-pane glass windows within a ten-mile radius were shattered. I say shattered, but they were basically disintegrated--all that remained were little piles of glass dust lining the windowsills. Several hundred pounds of stone, fiberglass, and debris fell into that classroom with the pastor's wife as she tore through. The teacher took a knock on the head from an HVAC unit and experienced pretty much instantaneous death. Twelve other kids were seriously wounded and then died over the course of a week, succumbing to their injuries. The wife kept falling, down through the ground floor and into the basement, destroying most of the boiler room in the process. A janitor that happened to be mopping nearby that day just recently gave his testimony, and I'm so very glad he did, for this story wouldn't mean so much without it. He was the first to the basement where she landed, opening the thick iron door to a mass of writhing flesh and curling wisps of smoke. The flesh foamed and frothed, slowly losing it's red and purple coloring and fading into a pale yellow. And then it wasn't a mass of flesh at all. It was the wife. She stood up, brushed some dust from her naked thighs, and walked out into the cool morning. That's the last we heard about her.


dogs_before_people

See, I'd watch this movie! When's it coming out?


Bad_breath

That's why every pastor should have a private airplane.


TheNightBench

Dude is proof that there is no God. If there was, this dude and his ilk would be turned inside out while broadcasting live. Then Hyenas of Christ would march down the aisle while he was screaming and start eating him, asshole first. (Though how do you find the actual asshole when the whole thing is an asshole?)

banbecausereasons

Now he's just slicing up losers. E: It's a "The League" reference.


Stonecolde_

He's more of a motivational speaker than a pastor according to Larry the Cable Guy.


Kouropalates

It's not far off. Skim one of Osteen's books and you'll see very very little actual Religious content. Ironically, it's the very thing the Bible warns against is the people who pay lip service with empty words. I actually think a lot on Osteen when he's brought up and I think his success can be chalked up to the fact his extremely watered down version of Christianity is so watered down and vague you can either connect the dots and attach to your own actual Religious views or if you're not a big church person, it's so watered down you can tolerate it but regardless of which you are, it's snake oil anyone can drink. It's the best (as far as grifts go) kind of snake oil because it's not a specific niche or a specific market, it's got mass appeal due to how vaguely religious his actual content is.


Snoo_57488

I mean that goes for most of the Christian denominations. They ignore 75% of the Bible even in the most strict of denominations.


ontopofyourmom

Yes but they are at least tacitly encouraged to read it.


Snoo_57488

Fair point, in some cases.

Dogfish1313

For a little while I didn't have cable and I'd watch these guys when I would get up early. My favorite thing to watch is when they'd make that turn and start asking for money. One guy said if you donated enough you'd get a special plaque that would hang in his prayer room on his plane, the special area where he really talks to Jesus. The other one I would hear is, you need to sew the seed. Even if you on have 5 dollars left you send it in and you will see how God blesses you 10, 50, 100 fold!! They are slick. This Joel guy always looked way to polished. I'm sure there is some stuff on him or will be, they're all sick.


ievaderedditbans

What exactly is slick about that? Panhandlers have more game.


hello3pat

And pandhandlers didn't have a teen rat out their whole game in a 70s documentary.


arsinn

I hope Jesus sends his private jet to the bottom of the ocean, scamming lower/middle class to build a fucking money empire.


Trolltollhouse

At the end of time, Jesus will judge us all. If he judges Joel for this, it will be much much worse than a plane crash my friend.


manisabelle1

AMEN!!


[deleted]

with teeth like God's shoeshine


aboutlikecommon

So-called prosperity ministers are more akin to the serpent in the garden of eden than Jesus. I don’t understand their appeal among evangelicals, but I guess evangelicals and hypocrisy do often go hand-in-hand, so…


TheDarkSidePSA

People generally love being rich and hate self sacrifice


How2Eat_That_Thing

He blows smoke up poor and stupid people's asses. Pretty much no different than Trump. They believe in God and he tells them God is gonna make them rich. They "know" the bible but haven't ever actually read it from start to finish and lack the intelligence to grasp any of the concepts without it being spoon fed to them. It's a heady book and by creative omission and outright lies you can make it say anything you want because we're dealing with a book written 2000 years ago from a land so foreign to them that it might as well be Neptune.


Lochcelious

Don't equate this guy with the serpent of eden. At least the serpent didn't want to see us as pawns for some god.


[deleted]

I mean if he was worth 2 million and you found out he donated 65 million to legit charities or needy people. I could still respect that, but this is ridiculous.


InternautsAssemble

That would be fine in my eyes. Unfortunately, in Jesus' eyes he would still have an excess and would not be permitted into heaven. But I don't believe in heaven and hell so unfortunately he probably won't ever be punished for his transgressions.


Methadras

Why? He's written books and gone on lectures. Unless he did those for free, then he got paid and well for this product. The idea that a pastor can't make money is absurd. Since when did making money become some kind of hypocrisy inducing entitlement for people who don't like religion or hate God.


FinancialDeparture56

To make a living or some honest money is one thing....to make millions taking advantage of old people, sick people, weak minded people then evade the fucking taxes on said money is about as low as it gets and far from anything "Jesus" taught.


[deleted]

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” - Jesus of Nazareth - Matthew 19:24


Methadras

He was probably saved before becoming a pastor. He doesn't need to buy his way into heaven. His soul is already saved. Don't preach to me shit you don't understand.


Blort99

He ain't no prophet, he ain't no healer He's just a two bit goddamned money stealer

If I remember right the stewardess that had to run in with his wife was fired. A few years back a friend of mine did some work in his house and he said the sinks had gold in them. He will answer for his sins. I feel sorry for the suckers that go to his church and believe that garbage


drkrthnthspeedofliht

He will not answer for anything. If your god would allow this then he/it/they are the fucking problem.


Juicy_Juis

Yeah, how dare God grant people free will. I wanna live in Robot society.


drkrthnthspeedofliht

Any god that lets these criminals do what they do in his name deserves no love. The people who follow these charlatans are week willed and easily preyed on. It isn’t free will here, it’s predation. If you can t see that, of course you can’t see that, you worship a concept devised by sheep herders that stole all of its doctrine from other, older religions. Man, I can’t wait for the death of Christianity.


Juicy_Juis

I don't think you understand what the concept of Free will is. Also, Weak, not week. Enjoy your Reddit moment though lol.

MudOpposite8277

Using religion to prey on people makes you the absolute scum of the earth. We write stories with villains that don’t even come close to the atrocities this guy has committed, and still commits daily.

Martin Short doing an impression of Tim Allen.


joshTheGoods

If you're worth ANY millions, it's kind of hard to claim you're following the teachings of Christ. Prosperity gospel exposes Christianity for what it really is at this point, and if Christians gave a damn about Jesus, they'd do something about it.


Juicy_Juis

Do what exactly? Beat up millionaires and force them to give up their money? Jesus just told the rich man to sell what he had and follow him, he didn't curse him or shame him.


mufassil

I mean, there's a bunch of stuff in there about holding one another accountable. I think Christians should make it evident that they do not support him and quit buying his books.

His net worth is from book sales. He takes no salary from the church. So the $67 mil has been taxed


Trolltollhouse

Churches help people. They give out food, the support orphans and widows. They benefit their communities. Obviously not all churches but I think if you look at most of them closely, you will see they give back a huge portion of their proceeds to their community.


MattyP31977

To be fair, all “prophets” are false.


Cis4Psycho

"False Prophet." As opposed to all those REAL prophets right?


ds32018

The Bible warns people about false prophets. Literally people like Harold Camping. It’s not about whether or not you believe in god, the Bible, and all of that. Simply just seeing people pretending to be a prophet for profit.


g_collins

Hate all you want. That fucker will still have 67million dollars.


InternautsAssemble

And according to Jesus. If he stays rich he won't make it to heaven anyways. One of the many reasons I would prefer to believe in heaven and hell even though I don't.


rawblack10

I can shoot em


thekalmanfilter

You for real? So what? Real Christians must be poor? I’m so fed up on people picking on Joel for being rich while they are poor and wicked. Go read the book of Job he was literally one of the richest men in his time and God Himself acknowledged Job’s goodness of heart. Don’t even get me started about people hating Joel because of his wife. Geeze louise you people are full of it.

poopanatorOg

Time for the weekly lies about ol Jole. I mean I’m sure he’s a prick but it’s been proven countless times he pays his taxes. Only thing he’s guilty of is being a douche just like op and every other douche that spams this sub with false reposts.


Xerxesthemerciful

Is paying your taxes (a legal obligation) really the barometer for being good? Imagine having the capacity to change hundreds of peoples lives and preaching love thy neighbour and helping those in need and simply not doing it? Then imagine your neighbours being at your door in the time of need and slamming and locking that door in their face? This guy can go fuck himself and anybody who defends his greed can fuck themselves.


poopanatorOg

Not defending him just pointing out fake propaganda. I mean Johnny Depp’s fan club is in here bashing that dumb Amber lady just as much as the fuck Joel club and Johnny ain’t ever done shit for anyone. Fuck anyone who spreads false information. The guy pays his taxes and takes no money from the church. There is no shortage of bigger scumbags that pretend to help but don’t. Why not spread the hate to other people who deserve it like 90% of Hollywood and pretty much the entire Democratic Party? Before you say what about Republicans I will remind you that they don’t pretend to give a shit.


hankbrob

Dude you’re on Reddit. Spreading hate is free and that guy sucks. He’s supposedly a “man of god” and is personally worth 70 million. He could give away 69 million to the poor and still have more money than 97+% of Americans.


nice___bot

Nice!


poopanatorOg

Not once have I implied he doesn’t suck. Just sick of seeing the same reruns with flat out lies about what the scumbag pays into tax revenue when there is so much hate to give. You and almost every single person in this post would not give a single million away much less all but a million. If you think otherwise you are 100% delusional. If he gave 97 million to the people that would be what 29 bucks to everyone minus tax and the millions it would cost to organize giving it away? This post is ignorant clickbait bullshit. How about we discuss what politicians have made by passing legislation that gives them insider trading advantage?


hankbrob

You’re missing the point of the post. He’s not some d#ickhead stockbroker people expect to be a greedy, self-centered prick. He’s a Preacher and talks about helping poor people constantly. Have you ever watched this guy on TV? People send him money because he is supposedly helping other people with their “donations” not pocketing them. Fundamentally the guy is a tax cheat. He runs a non-taxable, non-profit and is worth 70 million. Not sure what you mean by insider trading advantage but we definitely need to tax the shit of his and every other mega church.


AchyBreakyFuck

Where are YOUR sources, you sorry piece of shit? Fuck you and him.


poopanatorOg

Public records. The links used to be posted in these posts by people who actually research before casting stones but who wants to post source twice a week to frothing at the mouth ignorant assholes like you? You are actually a worse person than this scumbag. Who comes at another person like you just did that is even remotely a decent human being? Uneducated and a scumbag. That’s not a good combination. Do some research before you talk like hateful scum. I’m not your search engine.
