Not counting street preachers in the list, who are fairly low on the scale and going high profile, who is the worst of the evangelists out there in your opinion and why. Hinn? Haggee? Bentley? Crouch? Swaggart? Osteen? Roberts? Dobson?

I don't recall any of those people being known as evangelists.

What would you call them then? I can think of some things to call them.
The worst is that bigotted big mouth Parsley up in Columbus. If the street ranters want to rant about someone they should go up to his gigantic church and protest him.
Bennu Hinn too is a lamooo and I mean big tiem lame. How fools can believe this crook is beyond me. He has to be using plants and a paid staff to fake healings. He is the worst of all and how people can be dumb enough to believe him is beyond me.
The total worst though at any level, big or small, at any type of preaching , is Messenger Micah Armstrong. He is horrible at this and needs to look at a new profession,. If God called him, he should have left the phone off the hook.
I do not put him into the same list as Hinn and Parsley of course , but Micah is just a rotten preacher. I am surprised no one has rioted and lynched him .

You are being awfully judgmental, art. By what standard can you make such judgments?

By the standards that I hate preachers and street preachers. By what standards do YOU all get to judge me. It works two ways. You love judging but do not like being judged back.

Art, you're off topic, the thread was not about street preachers street preachers are not known of the public, so what is the fuss about them anyway ? Who whould want to lynch a guy like Osteen who always say things people want to hear with loads of compromise. Don’t know who Roberts and Swaggart are, except Swaggart has been caught for fornication, right ? Are they televangelists maybe ? I’ve watched TBN once , and I almost fallen asleep when watching, .... completely dull and boring. Don’t know much about Haggee and Dobson either. As for the others (Hinn, Bentley, Crouch) they have made so many false teachings claims and prophesies I don't even know if they have been christians once.

Oral Roberts runs a big university and was a healer like Hinn, though I think Hinn is much richer and famous. Roberts would be like 100 years old by now and should have died a long time ago if he did not already. I have never heard him, but onyl of him. I do not want to hear him. As for Hinn, what a laughing stock. If Jesus was real, which he is not, he would be so mad over this dude he would turn him into a frog or something.
I never heard of Bentley until coming in this board. It is saying something when even the people here do not like him.
I do not follow the evangelists much as I do not believe in what any of them say. Only once in a while, I watch on tv and laugh at them or can tell you about things from a secular tv show exposing them for the crooks they are or doing something stupid. This is again not my best topic as I just do not listen to any of these people, except for laughs at the most stupid.
You can also throw in Kirk Camerin and the other guy from the Master's Touch or whatever as they are just totally ignorant. They are nothing but overglorified streetpreachers. One is a hopelessly bad actor and the second is hopelessly idiotic. They found a new niche in milking the Christians.
Parsley I know of as he is from here and the only thing bigger than his ego is his mouth.

I actually consider Comfort and Cameron dumb but sincere and usually watch the show every week, the onyl redemptive part of TBN. It is impossible to hate these two and once in a while they come up with something that surprises me for it is so untypical of christians. It is The Way of the Matser by the Way.
Oral Roberts was somewhat of a forerunner to Hinn though he used tents and radio prior to the tv boom and did not gave the massive use of technology in his heyday that Hinn has in his. Roberts also suspiciously enough passed the healing arts to his son,
We stopped at Oral Roberts Univeristy for laughs some years ago when coming across country. Loved that stupid prayer tower and especially that ignorant praying hands statue, presumedly his hands and not those of Jesus. Also notably minus the gold rings Roberts likes to wear.
Ronerts is the one I think who first started the "seed faith" concept that TBN uses so well, essentially bribing God like the corrupt politician in Tijuana to get whatever you want from him. Love the concept. their God is all powerful , but cannot and will not do anything unless bribed with money which of course needs to go into the hands of his spokesmen, i.e. Roberts.
