Poll question: 700th Post Special: What turns your stomach most about the 700 club?
For years now, the 700 Club has been a thorn in my side. I am just wondering what other people have to think what about this program makes it most intolerable. Enjoy!

Taking money from people on fixed incomes...
...by playing on their superstitions or hope that a contribution to Pat's Abundant Ministry will "sow a seed" and help them get out of poverty.

But, South Park did a fine take on Pat's 700 Club, so I suppose I can be thankful he is around to inspire mean, mean satire that amuses the hell out of me.

4. When they get in a circle, holding hands, with their eyes closed tight...
and they start praying for more money, and then they go around the circle and each one passes a message on to us from God, about how somebody somewhere is being healed of some malady. e.g. "There's a woman in Spokane, WA with bunions, and the Lord is healing those bunions right now, as we speak".
