![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Joel Osteen's right-hand man tells TMZ Dr. Conrad Murray was indeed invited to come to Osteen's church yesterday "to pray and worship," and met with Osteen privately before the service.
TMZ first reported Osteen invited Murray to the service. Someone from Osteen's media relations department told us it was a PR stunt, but the guy who runs the PR department says that's not true.
Donald Iloff, Jr., the Chief of Strategic Operations for Osteen (and Osteen's brother-in-law), tells TMZ, "Dr. Murray did call the church to speak with Osteen a while back but Osteen was not available. Osteen's rep then invited Dr. Murray to yesterday's service." So, Dr. Murray truly was invited.
Iloff says Murray met privately with Joel and Victoria before the service. We do not know what they talked about.
After the meeting, Iloff says Dr. Murray attended the service. "He was really engaged in the worship service," Iloff says.

Not for PR?? Yeah right... how come we know all about it then? Why is it public knowledge?
Pray for the "good" Dr. Murray. Put your hands together, close your eyes and pray.
Yeah right! WE BELIEVE THAT!!!!!
OMG: TMZ YOU MUST BE MASTURBATING BY THOSE MURRAY STORY'S...SAD
What's the news here? I'm a black man trying go to church, the end.
To put it in the news most certainly is a PR stunt. Invited or not, Murry should have gone and sought prayer without the media being involved.

I know this is completely unfair, but I don't trust a man with a thin, upper lip. Statistically, they are unfaithful.
