Televangelist Paul F. Crouch, whose Trinity Broadcasting Network owns the Holy Land Experience theme park in Orlando, has died at the age of 79.
Crouch, who founded the world's largest Christian television network, died Saturday after a decade of degenerative heart disease, according to the TBN website.
Crouch's Trinity Broadcasting Network bought the struggling Holy Land attraction in 2007 for $37 million and quickly shifted the theme park's theological orientation from Baptist to the prosperity gospel preached by Crouch and his wife, Janice.

I've heard interviews with his granddaughter who is suing them. She used to work for TBN. She says she was threatened with a gun by Paul Crouch Jr's son while in a board meeting. She said Paul Crouch and Jan "LSD Neon Hair" Crouch have not lived together for over a decade and that Jan was having a "thing" with the dude playing Jesus at The Holyland Experience. He was featured in Bill Mahr's Religilous.
There also was an article in The Tennessean, when they opened Trinity Village in Hendersonville, Tn that said they prayed for a lawyer to die. They also stiffed musicians that played in there on air band and threatened people who were fighting to get them paid for their work.
What a group a creeps. They use Jesus as a tool to bang people over the head to instill the fear of death and guilt if they do not send in money on a regular basis. And....they do it all tax free!
