[Shawnster]

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster who turned a tiny Virginia station into the global Christian Broadcasting Network, tried a run for president and helped make religion central to Republican Party politics in America through his Christian Coalition, has died. He was 93.

 

Robertson's death Thursday was announced by his broadcasting network. No cause was given.

Such a staunch supporter of Babylon the Great and, no doubt, firmly opposed to Jehovah.  Still, he has now been acquitted of his sins.

It will be interesting to see what Jehovah does about those that took such a firm stand against him.

You never heard of Pat Robertson? He wad a major televangelist and political figure.  As with all prominent members of Christendom, Robertson was not favorable toward Witnesses.  https://www2.cbn.com/article/salvation/what-do-jehovahs-witnesses-believe

I pretty sure hell (grave) is a good resting place.

I saw the news about his death on another network. They took all of his controversial clips and put them together.  It made him sound so extreme and fanatical. I'm sure that was the intention.

I think @Jwanonis in France.  Fortunately, they don't always have to know everything about people in America...   😉

Some years ago, I remember posting this on this forum. I didn't make this, and Not to speak ill of the dead, but I can't pretend my opinion of him changed just because he died.

Although his name is vaguely familiar to me, it's not necessarily just the young who aren't familiar with him. The world is a large place outside the US. 🙃

Don't forget all the other creatures that we have to deal with, and some of these I have in my back yard.

Back on Topic

 

He made some crazy predictions, such as Armageddon coming in the early 80's and that Isreal will be the centre of it, with Russia and the US will be at it as well in the middle east.

One thing Pat Robertson had right, or almost right was the name of God, which I found very interesting since the Catholics were doing their best to totally eliminate their centuries old use of Jehovahs name.

isn't that common knowledge nowadays though

 

people were not familiar with God's name ceturies ago, but most people today know the name Jehovah or Yahweh (at least in America). I don't think Pat did anything noteworthy here by admitting God has a name

 

Even the person asking the question in the video was aware of that

He made false prophecies, as well, including one from October 2020, in which Robertson claimed that God told him, “Without question, Trump is going to win the election”
