Pat Robertson Sees Year Of Violence, Recession


Religious Broadcaster Shares What He Believes God Has Told Him

NORFOLK, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Wednesday that 2008 will be a year of violence worldwide and a recession in the United States, followed by a major stock-market crash by 2010.

Praying about events in the coming year and sharing what he believes God has told him is an annual tradition for Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"The Lord was saying that there's going to be violence and chaos in the world," Robertson said on his "700 Club" news-and-talk show.

"We've just begun to see what's going to happen, and the nations are going to be convulsed with violence," he said, citing as an example unrest in Pakistan after the death of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

3. Come on, Pat. Tell the full story.



You know BushCo fucked the whole planet and there has to be a major crisis sooner or later as a result.

Isn't that what you really want to say?

5. Last year he predicted there would be another horrendous attack
and thousands, maybe millions would die! That didn't happen either!

I heard this reminder of ole Patty's prediction on one of the talk shows on NY Eve. The host said there were only a few hours remaining before we could all tell Patty he was a NUT!

7. The Amazing Criswell agrees.
Tor Johnson will rise from the grave and join Bela Lugosi's demon alien army as the UFOs land near Hollywood in an epic battle for civilization.

11. Everyone knows we are entering a recession. Pat's hot line to God must be cold.
Pat's connection to Heaven seems a bit rusty lately. His "breaking news" from the great beyond is really yesterday's news. Recession? Ooooh. That's really going out on a limb.

12. Gosh that's tough
Violence and chaos in the world? Man what a Nostradamus - it's not like that hasn't been an unbroken string of about 6000 years or so (and I'm basing that on teh riugh start of "civilization, not Ussher's chronology trust me) has it?

But hey at least Pat now agrees with a lot of DUers for once - who also take great joy in forecasting the end of civilization, just for different reasons.

13. You're losing your touch, old bud
With Falwell gone you forgot to blame the gays, the liberals and the feminazi abortionists for the next recession and world wide strife.

The Lord was saying ???
Gee Pat, Gawd told you all that?
Really now.
It's an annual tradition between you and Gawd ?
Uh-huh.
Well that pretty much makes you either a blasphemer, a liar or just nuts
Maybe all three.. a blaspheming lying nutjob.
Pat, you're really a putz

18. It's easy to predict something that is already happening...
I know, God told him not to "predict" it until now. :eyes:

20. Robertson = Liar, hypocrite, Blasphemer.
Proverbs 19:22

What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.


1 John 2:4
The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;


He's just and old putz trying to stir the soup.

21. It's a good thing God told him that personally
Coz otherwise nobody would ever dream of the possibility of chaos and violence happening in this world. (especially after the US repug years)

He also said the Lord told him who would be the next president. Has the Lord been talking to Rove? He was gonna keep it to himself though. (hate for the Lord to be wrong on the elections and all)
