i remember when he came to my church
and he asked everyone to give a minimum $20

the next week my pastor apologozed
and said that he was embarrased that jakes did that
and that that isnt wha tour church is about
you give what you can give
my pastor doesnt preach prosperity
just the Word

now he wasn't knocking jakes
but he hasnt been back
and my church is a mega church and didnt need jakes to
for publicity

we had him because we were doing something for the community
(this was like 5 yrs ago0

however
i cannot discredit all that jakes and the potter's house has done

i am not of that "prosperity" ministry

so i cannot comment on it completely
i just appreciate the two above
for being able to look at the issue wholistically
