Jesse Duplantis, the Destrehan-based prosperity gospel televangelist with a global reach, is asking disciples for money to buy a jet that costs $54 million "so we can go anywhere in the world in one stop." He seeks the donations in a video posted last week on his ministry's website.

"I really believe that if the Lord Jesus Christ was physically on the Earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey," Duplantis says in the video. "He'd be in an airplane flying all over the world."

His house

Piece of human trash. I don’t understand the people that open up their pockets to him. Why?

 

[ch33zw1z]

Faith, fear, desperation, religion over belief.

It is disgusting, and maddening. As a person raised pentacostal, it's easy to see why they do.

Another person that I hope gets what's coming to him

they argued that commercial planes were full of "a bunch of demons"

Well...they’re not wrong I guess.

 

[zerocool84]

And remember, all tax free as well.

Each time I see one of these apostate a-holes I want to puke.

It's the same people who voted for Trump. It's not that hard to figure out. There's a sucker born every minute, maybe more often due to a bigger population.

If he can fleece that much from them so be it... Get the flock out of here...

 

[senseamp]

Sheep are there to be fleeced. No one is forcing them to buy him a jet. In fact, they are getting a tax deduction for doing it, so they are forcing the rest of us to pitch in.

We’re talking G5!

No more frequent flyer bitch miles for my boy!


Personally I think ministers and priests should be able to use the IRS to garnish the wages of their flocks for tithes.

Don’t like your minister upping your tithe to 20% to pay for a new gulfstream? Get a new church.

Private Jets are all the rage with Televangelists these days.

 

[dank69]

So where should I send my money?

 

[BoomerD]

ONLY $54 million? Look how frugal he's being...why, for the Lord's sake, I'd expect him to spend well over $100 million...just for the convenience and safety. After all, we can't be having the Jeezus hauled around in just any old Gulfstream...

 

[cytg111]

If there ever were proof of a non existent god...

Commerical air travel is tubes filled with demons. They can't pray in such harsh environments.

I forgot about that scene as I had to look at the credits the first time I saw it to learn it was Tom Cruise. A still cannot do it justice so here it is.

 

[trenchfoot]

So that's $54 million for starters. Then add in parts and maintenance, crew wages and benefits, landing fees etc etc etc.

Can't mix in with the heathen in first class with all of their debauchery and sinning, foul language, blaspheming and such so of course the chosen ones have the necessity for private luxurious aircraft to do the Lord's work.

Everybody knows this.

It’s amusing that the people who support these charlatans never seem to have read the bible for themselves.

Luke 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

 

[interchange]

He has fame, influence, fortune, power, and best of all righteousness. Seeing yourself as like him offers you the identity of someone who deserves all the rewards of life alongside absolution from guilt because it's in the service of the Lord and free reign to see others as lesser than you.

People see narcissism in the hypocritical powerful people out there but for some reason have a harder time realizing that the most narcissism is in those who support them. When one has a grandiose sense of self but an intensely fragile one, the safest way to protect it is by deepening your association to someone that has the grandiosity. They may get more power and fortune, but they take all the risk too.

I didn't even realize he was one of these douche bags:

From the article in the OP.

"In 2015, Duplantis and Copeland defended their use of private jets. In a segment on Copeland's television program, they argued that commercial planes were full of "a bunch of demons" that will bog down their busy schedules with prayer requests, The Washington Times reported. "

I’m pretty sure Jesus felt the same way.... I think... who has time for piety?

 

[zinfamous]

I like how these are the individuals that are keeping their people poor, all the while telling them that it's "HilaryDemObama" that's keeping them poor.

If Jesus had a private jet do you think he would have stuck around to feed 5000 smelly people?

Somebody call this televangelist and tell him he is being too modest. God wants him to be able to fly non-stop from New York to China and a G5 will simply not due. He needs a G650
