Yes Odessy that was it exactly, about what she said about the inner city kids.

Flyers - Oh man you're kidding me? About the feast? Holy moly...that's almost bordering on cruel, and I am sure it probably caused others in their village to try to steal the food they were sneaking etc.

She has absolutely no clue!

dgtempe - You said it all there lol...she won't stop til she has her own country named after her, too funny, but it's sadly true. I watched a few episodes when she first started her "Angel Network" charity and I thought that was worthy...

I also tuned in when she was trying to catch one pedophile or child rapist a week by offering 100K to anyone who gave information that led to the capture of the ones that had fled after posting bail.

For some reason she stopped doing that after they had caught only 3 or so and I always wondered why.

Guess she went onto the next fad, and gave up that worthy cause.

This new age religion is a deception. It ties directly into the teachings of many cults. It disascociates man from God and attempts to humanize Jesus. Read the recent thread www.abovetopsecret.com...'

Beware this is one of satans deceptions. Do you really think he would expect the world to become satanists when all he has to do is polute and take advantage of weak minds. The elimination of Jesus from religious teachings has only one goal in mind. Do you know what that is?

As far as I can tell, this video is an ad for a book and Christian propaganda.

Oprah is not a minister, she's not ordained and she's not a religious leader. She doesn't have a church. She's a talk show host, people. She shares her opinions and ideas with people. She is the most powerful woman in television and she shares her spirituality with people.

And that is a threat to conventional religion. I can see how it would be.

The "Church of Oprah" is just a name some religious people have assigned to her "Living Life Abundantly" class she gave with Eckhart Tolle.


I can certainly see and understand how and why some Christians find this offensive. However, this video does not reveal all of the facts surrounding the clips shown, nor does it give us total insight as to Oprah’s intentions or beliefs. After watching the video one should ask, who benefits from it and what is the intended purpose. This video reeks of strategic propaganda, it’s the same type of propaganda that plays on Christian fears, and its also the same type of propaganda that bamboozled some Christians into voting for George W. Bush

This is worse than when she said she'd never eat another burger and the beef industry sued her... Hey, I have an idea. Why don't the Christians sue her for sharing her opinion? She won the beef suit. It's called free-speech, people.

If Oprah has a church, then so do I. The church of Benevolent Heretic... Has a nice ring to it, don't you agree?

BTW, I'm not a big Oprah fan. I have watched her show once in 5 years.

I understand that you probably like Oprah by your posts, and I don't have anything against her except how she loves the spotlight.

And I will use Bill Gates to illustrate using another billionaire that we can compare to Oprah.

Bill Gates who donates billions of dollars to charities here and around the world does NOT attach his name to the schools he helps build, the foundations he funds etc.

Bill Gates has not come out and used his money. power and influence to try to sway an election by endorsing a specific candidate.

I am not saying that Oprah hasn't left a lasting mark on society that, as a whole, is probably positive.

All I am saying is...she's let the power, money and influence go to her head and the evidence is all around in all the facts we've cited. Starting a magazine with your name on it, putting your picture on the cover of every issue...is totally narcissistic. She's even bought the Discovery Health channel so I hear...

3 guesses as to what the new name of it will be? I am guessing "The Oprah Network" 24/7 Oprah ....chant with me now O-Prah O-Prah O-Prah
