TBN Telethon—Praise-a-thon 4/17/06 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm (Numbers indicate minutes and seconds into the broadcast).

51:30 Paul and Dr. Shorrosh sign a “memorandum of understanding” , formalizing Crouch and NSN’s agreement regarding TBN’s Farsi-language broadcasts into Iran and the rest of the Middle East, as well as North America.

56:46 Dr. Nasir K. Siddiki goes on and gives his testimony of his miraculous healing and resulting conversion. Says (58:27) that the #1 threat to Christianity today is Islam, and goes further to say of Moslems (58:58), “they can’t understand love”. Speaks of converting the Moslem world (58:19), then asks the audience (58:22), “How about some terrorists for Jesus?” Then he launches into his message on giving, taken from Lk. 6:38. His message is blatantly materialistically oriented and greedy in content. The essence of the message is stated at 1:07:15: “Everything you need is hidden in a seed ” He goes so far as to (at 1:10:03) tell parables describing God being the owner of a heavenly vending machine; you have to put the right coin (seed) in to get out your “prize”.

1:21:40 Paul himself pledges $50,000.
