1. I think it was about

pledging $700 a year to Diamond Pat R, to spread the word of Jeebus to places that have perfectly serviceable cultures/religions.

I remember seeing a telethon a few years ago where you could also join the 1000 Club for a bigger donation.

2. It has to do with contributions.

Their basic contribution level is $60 a month, which is roughly $700 a year. They also have the 1000 club and the Founders club, both of which require more money.

(I have a sister-in-law who's a member; that's how I know.)

3. cuz when it started Robertson was in debt from buying the station

and all the equiptment repairs etc.He figured he needed about 700 partners to help pay off monthly expences to get the station out of debt.It was only radio then and just a few dollers were asked from the 700 "partners".I read alot. That's how i found this.

Seriously, I never let on but soon became aware that it was NOT the right reason.

11. We are helping you every time we get you to post. If you spend the

next 4 hours posting, you will soon be out. As anyone in the 800's+ can tell you, this too shall pass.
