text: Painting all TV evangelist with the same broad brush is just as wrong as painting all (Fill in the blank) as being lazy, smelly, taking our jobs, etc.\n\nYes, unfortunately, there have been men who have been into it for the money and have fallen.  However, if the gospel, or the good news of Jesus Christ, is being preached, then there are those who are going to hear it, believe in Jesus as their saviour and lord, and follow him, so even if there are some snakes in the grass, I think that TV evangelism, by and large is more positive than negative.\n\nBTW, Pat Robertson has "Operation Blessing" where he DOES help out the needy!  That is just one example, there are others who are truly doing God's work.\n\nLet's not be intolerant of ANY group.  No one should be intolerant of a nationality group or a political group, but for some reason it is OK to be intolerant of Christians.  Let us stop painting all TV evangelists with the same brush just because Jimmy Swaggert et al have done wrong.
