167. As a flight attendant and RN, I found Sharon Brown's claims pathetic. Sounds like Victoria O. was frustrated by poor, arrogant service from the FA to get her that angry, but hemorrhoids and 10% or her worth?? Both were probably in the wrong but Brown was just trying to get rich quick. She should be fired. Ask for an apology and let the authorities handle the rest if necessary.

168. I try not to read many blogs anymore, because so many people are so cruel and rude on them--just like on this one. I am amazed at all the judgemental people who seem to despise Joel Osteen. When I watch his humble, uplifting, motivational sermons, I feel like he is very sincere and know he is helping so many people. It seems he is also addressing something that we experience in our daily lives, and I think anyone who spends their time helping people find tools to survive in their daily lives and relationships, that they are a positive force in the world and don't deserve to be spat upon by people who don't even know them or their work. I don't know about his wife, but I don't really care. He is the one I listen to--not her. She has her own path in life to follow and learn from. My son-in-law was uplifted during some horrible times in Iraq by listening to DVDs of Joel that I would occasionally send him. Please don't judge so harshly if you don't take the time to know him.

169. well..............praise God, the flight attendant was trying to get money...hemmoroids....please I think she herself was the pain ih her butt..........10% of what, her money, why would she be entitled to it, what work has she done to lift the spirits up, to teach and preach about the Lord our God, and please no one say anything about that, I have a right to believe in him, just as you do, I am only sorry if you don't because it is real, and when the last person hears the gospel, and the son Of God, opens the skies, and appears before us, all will bow down to him......and I hope your pride, or your rebellion doesn't keep you from entering the kingdom of Heaven....after all where did we come from, and how do you explain goose bumps, when a truly amazing miracle happens before your eyes....I'v seen many, so it not up for discussion, my God is real, and I am Heaven Bound.......praise god...............and way to go osteens............you lift us up everyday...and God Blesses you for it ..................thank God and Amen......rocket girl from dallas

171. I agree with the previous poster. God had nothing to do with this. I don't need to judge the Osteens - God will do that in his own time. I hope they're up to it.
