Two Elderly Chinese Women To Work A Year in Labor Camp for APPLYING to Protest Loss of Their Homes

Two elderly Chinese women who applied during the Olympic Games to protest the loss of their homes have been ordered to spend a year in a labor camp, a relative said Wednesday, as more foreign activists were detained.

The women were still at home three days after being officially notified they would have to serve a yearlong term of reeducation through labor, but were under surveillance by a neighborhood watch group, said Li Xuehui, the son of one of the women…

Victoria Osteen Victorious in Lawsuit

It comes as no surprise to many people that a jury would come back with a decision rejecting Sharon Brown’s assault lawsuit, must to the delight of the Osteens.

Brown sought over $400,000 in damages, although initially she sought 10% of Victoria’s net worth.

I personally figure from all the various pieces of information that was given out about this case, such as Brown admitting calling Joel Osteen “the Devil” and their church a “cult”, it was probably apparent to the jurors that Brown already had an issue with the Osteen family and their particular brand of faith.

Passengers back Osteen, say they saw no assault

HOUSTON — Three airline passengers testified Wednesday they never saw or heard any indication that the wife of megachurch evangelist Joel Osteen assaulted a flight attendant in 2005.

Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown claims in her lawsuit that Victoria Osteen yelled at her, threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her when a spill on the armrest of her first-class seat wasn’t quickly cleaned up. Brown claims she suffered physical and psychological injuries.

However, three first-class passengers on the plane testified Wednesday that they never saw or heard anything to indicate that Victoria Osteen assaulted Brown before the start of the flight from Houston to Vail, Colo…

I do believe that SOMEBODY owes SOMEBODY not only an apology, but a refund of $3,000 the Osteens had to pay in fines for interrupting a flight – which was not their fault. PLUS, Brown should pay some sort of penalty for making a false report.

New Development in Osteen’s “Assault” Lawsuit by Brown

The lawsuit brought by a flight attendent, Sharon Brown, against Victoria Osteen, wife of Houston (and television) pastor Joel Osteen has a new twist…

According to a Fox News report this morning, Brown admitted that she called Joel Osteen “The Devil” and then called the church “a cult”.

Ouch.

Brown now claims her words were taken out of context. Brown is suing Osteen for allegedly pushing her into a bathroom door and elbowing her in the chest. Brown wants punitive damages amounting to 10% of the Osteen’s net worth…

Oh, REALLY? She wants a TITHE? Who does she think she is… Melchizedek? (I’m thinking of a word… it involves a shiny yellow metal, a mine and a shovel.)

Brown says that as a result of the alleged incident, she has “lost some of her faith” and that she now has “hemriods”.

Okay, first of all, if all you put your faith in is people you will be disappointed and lose it sometimes. Faith in God doesn’t (or shouldn’t) depend on the actions of fallible human beings.
Faith is a lasting gift of God, not a mental assent toward His general direction.

Secondly, you don’t get hemroids from Victoria Osteen allegedly pushing you and giving you the elbow. Try as I might, I couldn’t find one instance anywhere that a minor assault could cause hemroids. Victoria Osteen would have had to PICK BROWN UP and put her in a wrestling hold around her waist for something like that to happen.

You CAN, however, get hemroids from sitting on the toilet for extended periods of time, from heredity, from giving birth, anal sex, standing or sitting for long periods (like in a plane flying every day), lack of adequate fiber, insufficient water intake, lack of adequate exercise, weak pelvic floor, straining too much while pooping, and from age. The list is actually longer, but assault is not in the list.

So, if this lawsuit doesn’t work, Brown can always sue the toilet manufacturer.
