Editor’s note:  The
New Messiahs by Katherine Yurica is based on 1,300 pages
of actual transcripts of Pat Robertson’s television show,
The 700 Club recorded for several years in the early 1980’s.
Most of the excerpts came from shows broadcast in 1984-86. In
1987 the author conducted a study in response to informal inquiries
from the staff of the Subcommittee on Oversight of the House
Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representives,
which was investigating whether television and radio ministries
were violating their tax-exempt status by conducting grass roots
political appeals, endorsing candidates, and making political
expenditures as defined under Section 527 of the IRS code. The
Subcommittee on Oversight published the author’s study in
Federal Tax Rules Applicable to Tax-Exempt Organizations Involving
Television Ministries on October 6, 1987, Serial 100-43.
(Published in 1988.)
At the last revision of The New Messiahs in 1999-2000, the largest
network in the world was neither CBS, NBC nor ABC nor all three
together. It was TBN, the Trinity Broadcasting Network, owned by Paul
Crouch, (a member of John Ashcroft’s church, the Assembly of God). By
1999, TBN fed 406 TBN and affiliate TV stations in America, 4,886
cable systems and an estimated 10 million home satellite dishes. In
addition they had a total of 346 foreign stations on the air and
Crouch was only one satellite away from total live global coverage!
.....
Very long.
