Because Christian Love is the Hottest Kind
Up in Dallas there’s been some hoopla over that whole “love thy neighbor” thing at Daystar Christian Television.
It seems that everybody got lawyers and sued each other over a little good ole Christian hanky-panky.
The accusations and counter-accusations started in 2010, after Daystar co-founders Joni and Marcus Lamb took to their own broadcast to admit that he had an affair with a former employee. At the time, they said their marriage had been restored but that they faced an extortion attempt by other former employees.
Eventually, three women came forward. One accused the Lambs of forcing her to cover up information about the affair. The second accused Joni Lamb’s father, who worked for Daystar, of sexually inappropriate behavior. The third claimed harassment.
So the women all sued Daystar and the Lambs (Personally, I think that if God had a real sense of humor, their name would have been Sheep, for a variety of reasons) and then the Lambs counter-sued, and every damn lawyer in the three county area bought a new bass boat.
Well, now it’s all settled. The legal part, that is. The founders slippery zipper may be hot enough to melt for all I know. Those things usually don’t settle down all that easy.
The story is at the Dallas Morning News, where they came up with the silly idea that they should charge to let you see their website. I got the story from a subscriber because I ain’t giving them a dime when I can read every other newspaper in Texas online for free.
Thanks to David for the heads-up.
