You're kidding right?TV preachers provide a service to people, willingly giving up their money. If a person pan handles on the street for money, freely given, that is the same thing, both charitable. But when dickless politicians steal my money from me, then give it to liberal bitches like you, then that isnt charity, but theft... again you never thank US for providing your welfare, just bitch and moan that it isnt enough.They will all die. The Book of Acts describes 2 people dropping dead instantaneously for lying that they didn't pocket some of the communal money for themselves personally like a socialist leader.
Also Jesus and his apostles lived off of rich women because they gave up fishing and their families. The first Christian church was set up like a commune.
What is interesting, is that when you put a physical piece of yourself into something that you believe in, then your belief becomes physical reality. By the way, This is true not only for the faith in Jesus, but also every stupid faith too. For doing this for Jesus, the only non stupid faith, those rich women were most beneficial to God Himself, and as explained in the New Testament, they will receive their rewards in heaven.
The opposite of this happened too, when a moron called Luther invented at the late medieval ages, that the Church selling tickets for getting friends out of purgatory was unethical and useless. Taking away people's salvation in this way gets him his reward in hell along with all the other heretics.
So in essence you are saying they were panhandlers and gladly took in redistribution of wealth from the wealthy. Like today TV preachers. Thanks for the clarification.
TV preachers lie, cheat, and steal from the most vulnerable segments of our population. They are criminals and con men, nothing more.
A few do, they run afoul of the police or the IRS sooner or later and disappear. Most are legit, and most do indeed provide all the services they claim to provide. Whether or not you assorted deviants and dopers like them or not isn't 'proof' they're 'all crooks', which in the case of left wingers like yourself like the pot calling the kettle black, anyway.
Very few of the are 'TV preachers, either; most have real churches and congregations, and it's their services that are televised. Just because they're on TV doesn't make them all 'mega-churches', either. I post this for the FYI of the Peanut Gallery, not because I think you will admit to facts or anything and bother with real discussions; you're just here to post fake news as usual, and you have no character or morals worth mentioning anyway.
