Teevee Preachers with Big Ole Hair
Those of you who have been following the saga of Paul and Jan Crouch of the Trinity Broadcasting Network and their Circus Jesus Roadshow, will be interested to know that crazy and crooked just turned nasty.
A granddaughter of Trinity Broadcasting Network founders Jan and Paul Crouch filed a lawsuit Monday alleging that she was plied with alcohol and raped by a TBN employee when she was just 13 — and that her family covered up the incident, rather than report it to authorities, to protect TBN’s reputation.
Good Lord, they’ve turned Catholic!
That there is some dandy hair, ain’t it?
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
Can I get me a “do” like that at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon? I’ve already got the grey part workin!
1Can’t really tell from that picture but the eye makeup looks pretty Tammyesque too.I’ve often wondered if those women go to some sort of mason’s academy to learn how to handle a trowel that well.
2At only 13 years old, begs the questions: Where were her parents and why would there even be alcohol within the walls of TBN … them being all Christian and such … maybe they got into the communion wine cabinet! Maybe instead of the grape juice we use at my Christian church, they actually used real wine. The things these people are going to have to answer for!! All in the name of our Dear Jesus and I’d have to believe He wants no part of these people and if they’ve asked to be forgiven, then in the name of God and all that is holy, stop doing the crap you’re doing!!
3Being a, [ahem], lapsed Catholic, actually a truly gone and buh bye one, you got me on that reference . . thanks for the grins.
I’m here in Colorado Springs hoping for rain, there are some clouds forming over Pikes Peak as I type.
4As I read the story a couple of days ago, Liquor was apparently a legitimate expense for the TBN folks, They apparently are not a “dry” Tea Totin’ sect of Christianity.
5As for the 30 year old in a room with the 13 year old, you might make a case for her being chaparoned by a Church member. Which on the face of it could be pretty innocent.
However, once she said she was raped that’s where I really find fault with their actions. They did fire the guy so they had some reason to believe her but did nothing else as far as I can see. And neither did her parents!
Good for her to bring it up and draw attention to it.
I do not watch TV preachers. Is that really them? Is it a Saturday Night Live skit mocking preachers? Perhaps Poe’s Law is true.
6Does anyone know an organic way of getting rid of those things crawling above Jan’s eyes? I’m pretty sure they are the same critters that wiped out my pole beans.
7Y’know, if you did a Venn diagram with the outliers being Charo, Dyan Cannon, Tammy Faye Bakker, and Dolly Parton, your overlap would be….
FLEE!! Flee for your LIVES!!! AAaaaaaaaghghghgh…….
8Now, I have kind of admired that shade of pink since I was a little girl. I always thought pink hair would be a nice compliment to my sister’s red hair.
9It’s hard to believe that people like this still have a following.
10I have watched the various TV preachers to find out what they are saying and quite honestly sometimes when you channel surf you come across a station and it’s like passing a car wreck on the highway, you want to avert your eyes but you are transfixed on the sight.
11I have also watched some of the Public Acess TV when I was in Austin watching the Fundies list off all the Cults: Mormons, Catholic, Church of Christ…..Hindus who want to take over the world, interesting stuff a morbid fascination I know but I felt it was part of my education.
Uncle Dave, I lol’d at the critters that attacked my pole beans, good description!
Is that her hair, or does she wear a dog on her head?
12I met these 2 in Austin at the convenience store next to my apt. Paul said he was doing some work down the street. The largest AA chapter in the area with many political members met down the street ironically across from the Yellow Rose(famous Tata bar). Jan’s makeup is downright scary in person. These 2 took over PTL after James Bakker’s fall. I am not or have ever been in AA so I am betraying nothing. There is stuff you just pickup working in State Gov. That AA group is a back channel for a lot.
13Looks like a pink, long haired extra-terrestrial is trying to consum her, starting with her head. That wig has got to stand a full three inches above the top of her head? Makes her face look miniscule, except for those things on her eyes.
14Trashy.
15How many animals died to make that thing on her head?
16She’s got My Little Pony hair. Actually their sect comes Some Assembly (of God) Required, but a few screws are loose. They’re Pentecostal, but nothing they need to buy costs a penny. Send in your last mite, then put your widowy hand on the electrical tee vee tube and, yay verily, you’ll be healed. If not, it’s your own fault. Clearly, your faith (offering) is not big enough.
In my father’s house are many mansions, but you pay the mortgage in advance, child, sabe? We got angels manning the telephones and staffing the teller cages. Plastic is as good as cash, but no credit extended for good works…oh no indeed! In God we trust, all others pay cash on the barrelhead.
I swan, as soon as somebody starts testifying, I move a hand to my wallet. If I see them coming down the street, Bibles in hand, I lock my garage, shut the door, pull down the drapes and make goat noises until they leave. When they ask if I was born again, I told them I got it right on the first try. And if I can identify their cars, I let the air out of the two passenger side tires.
You can call on God, but Triple A picks up on the first ring.
17Of course the family covered it up. Here they are trying to do the good Lord’s work and the devil creeps into the children’s minds to try to bring the Holy TBN down.
I trust they beat that bad ol’ devil out of the little girl.
18My dear god, she DOES have My Little Pony Hair!!!
Jan and Paul have fascinated me ever since they popped up on my 1981 Cable TeeVee Package. No one, and I mean NO ONE, rocks the gospel hair more weirdly than Jan.
And if you’ve never seen her cry, mascara all drippin’ down, while pleading for our very souls on their fab TeeVee Eevangelical Show, you have really missed out. Missed out on something pretty scary, but definitely missed out.
As to the things crawling on her eyelids and the generally “trowelled-on” look, if she’s anything like Tammy Faye, that’s heavy-duty makeup over VERY bad cosmetic tattooing. Plus eyelashes, possibly layered up triple-decker style.
19Good grief.
