Damn, Someon using Hotmail is going to hell...

i once called a preacher (his name was tilton or tilman or something)that took phone calls during his show for donations. it was always set up like a telethon and the people taking calls could be seen in the background. i called just because i was bored and i wanted to fuck with one of the callers and see them react on tv.

so... i called. saw the woman on TV who answered. I told her I came into a lot of money through inheritence and was not into material things and just did not need the money and figured they could do more good with it. The woman was clearly excited and asking me how much i was going to get. I told her i believed it to be around $8,000,000.00. She actually dropped the phone and i saw it on TV.

Anyway... i started asking her what they would do with that money and she began telling me about all their missions all over the world, feeding the poor yada yada yada. I told her it all sounded really great and that it was a beautiful thing they were doing...

Then i said, "i only have one concern"

she asks "what is that"

I said "well, i saw a story on 60 minutes or some show where, where Mr Tilton was indicted on tax fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and quite a few nasty charges. that makes me a bit uncomfortable"

..... well, i was just making that up for something to say and to flip her shit and watch her reactions on tv.

she says "oh but.... but... you know what happened right? he was aquitted of most of those charges"

now i was stuttering and a little suprised... i started asking her to tell me the details of the charges etc and talk about the case and she did. i was totally stunned and at a loss for words.

anyway.... now that i look on the web while writing this... it was this guy

colorful story.

the one line he said that i was never forget; "if you send even only $1.00 - God will love you"
