Pastors Explain Why They Need Private Jets

Boarding Area:

Last March I first wrote about Creflo Dollar, the mega-Church pastor and preacher of “Prosperity Gospel,” who was asking his members to help him fund a $65 million Gulfstream G650. The church even created a fundraising video, which at first I thought was a joke:



After much public outcry, the campaign was eventually halted, though that didn’t stop the church from making all kinds of excuses. They explained that the church needed the Gulfstream G650 so it could carry a dozen people plus 100,000 pounds of food. Clearly they didn’t do any research on the plane, because the Gulfstream G650 has virtually no cargo capacity.

...snip...

Well, in case Creflo Dollar didn’t sell you on the need for pastors to have private jets, his good friends pastors Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis have their own explanations.

Are you ready for an incredible video? Perhaps the worst part is that they’re not even begging for money, but rather they’re just enlightening us as to how they couldn’t possibly fly with everyone else. They’re just explaining why they can’t fly with demons on commercial aircraft, and why the devil is trying to mislead us into thinking they’re being excessive.
