Do you watch them? Who are your favorites and why? On the flip side, who do you think is phony?
I like Joyce Meyer. She's down to earth, humorous, goes to the Bible to back up her words, and speaks on topics that matter to me personally.
I also like Joel Osteen. He's not real biblical, but he sure is inspirational.
A few others I like are Jack Jayford and Michael Yustef (not sure of spelling).
I don't like the guys who are full of hype, shout, repeat themselves, and mainly want to sell me something.
Tell me about your choices -- thumbs up and thumbs down.

My favorite speaker is Doug Batchelor from Amazing Facts. He is an awesome speaker. He has humor, he's realistic and he is very good at catching the youths attention. I like alot of other speakers, but he's my favorite.

Good evening Joyce :))
My mother use to watch them all, Oral Roberts, Tammy Faye Baker and her husband(whos name eludes me right now), Jimmy Swaggart. One by one I watch them tumble from the pinnacles of their own making. I am with Trans on this one, they are most assuredly a comically sad group.
I do however love to listen to Joyce Meyer. My sister in law, asked me to watch her once and every so often if she is on early morning and I am awake I will tune her in.

thanks, Angel. You're mentioning TV evangelists who are long gone and thankfully so.
I do watch Joyce M if I'm up at 5:30 am. By the way, you can see her broadcasts on your computer at any time. joycemeyer.org

I enjoy Joyce Meyer. I also like to watch a local nationally know minister of Lakewood Church, Joel Osteen who is a very positive upbeat miinister.

Thanks for your response. Yes, Joel is one of my favorites. He definitely has charisma and I get a lot of good information out of his messages. I don't believe all of it -- I don't think the picture is as rosy as he paints it. On occasion, though, his message hits me right where I need it.

I like Joyce Meyer. If I happen to catch her on tv, I'll watch but I don't otherwise. I also liked Robert Schuller when he was on. An all around nice guy. Most of the others I find irritating or not interesting. whi

Thanks for your response, whit.
Robert Schuller -- another good one. however, he did tend to get too commercial in pushing merchandise.

I like Joyce Meyer also. Another favorite of mine is Perry Stone. The last couple of years he's had revivals here in Pulaski, VA in Sept. or October during the week of The Days of Awe, I think that's what it's called anyway, and both years that he's been here I haven't missed a service.

I actually like Joyce Meyers. Been listening for years. She has not changed.
She is very down to earth and I like that. I dont like to listen to anyone who is not using the bible as a map. Except for joyce and greg laurie thats it for me.
thanks for taking the time to look at my website. I appreciate it.
God bless y'all
