Negativity attacts negativity. Postivity attracts positivity. I have experienced this in my own life and TRULY believe it works.


Maybe if other people try it, they will believe it is true :)

I've seen bits of his show on TV, but I flip to another channel pretty quickly. He's creepy.

How familiar are you with Scripture? Joel Osteen's message is specifically and outright (in so many words) denied by Scripture. Which makes him wrong and means he's not spreading God's word.

What more needs to be known for anyone claiming the title of 'christian'?

There is that, of course, but both his claptrap and the "The Secret" claptrap hardly needs any serious study for someone to establish that it is ... claptrap.

I told dh about "word-faith" and the poor dear asked if it had to do with John, the Apostle (dh used to teach religion-related stuff once upon a time). When I told him what it was he was aghast (well, actually he crossed himself).
