I don't know that it's fake news. We have 2 different narratives, both unconfirmed. Mine said that there were photos showing no flooding in the church, and this one looks like a parking garage with some water in it. The only people that know are the ones down there.Speaker to Animals wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:Alexander PhiAlipson wrote: I hope you're not waiting for some sort of mea culpa.
You were just busted spreading fake news and slander against somebody out of hatred. The least you could do is admit that you fucked up.
Seems that the internet backlash has cleared the catastrophic flooding from the church. It can now accept refugees.Lakewood Church in Houston is accepting victims of Hurricane Harvey who need a place to shelter, the megachurch said this morning, after it received backlash for not initially welcoming in evacuees.
So the structure had no food, kitchen nor staff, but what a dick he is for not hosting 16000 folks. (if true, or course)A Lakewood Church spokesperson told ABC News Tuesday its doors have always been open and the church is waiting for city officials to designate it as a shelter so it can obtain cots and other assistance. (The spokesperson said the church doesn't have showers or a kitchen.)
At first it was difficult for church staff to get to the facility from their homes, the spokesperson explained.
Moreover, the facility did not initially shelter people because it would be too dangerous to have people on a lower level, which could flood, the spokesperson added. Now that the floodwaters have receded, the church decided to bring in evacuees, the spokesperson said.
"The mayor was asking people not to get on the roadways, plus this building was very close to flooding. It was within a foot of coming over our flood gates," Osteen told ABC affiliate KVUE on Tuesday night. "But also, our staff and building engineers and people, nobody was here. You know, it's not like we can ask them to come out. But you know the fact is we're here to help people. The notion that we would turn people away is totally not who Lakewood has been for the last 60 years and it's not who it is now and that's why we're seeing this."

In all fairness, like I said, I suspect he is a probably a fraud but wouldn't say it in public because I dont know, but regardless of the actual level of flooding, there is sooooo much more to consider.
Taking in 16000+ people is a really big deal, from food, to med care to water to security, especially when you have no guarantee that your structure won't flood.
None of us have any idea what that entails whatsoever, I can't imagine hosting 100 people never mind 16000, but apparently we can judge from afar without any hesitation.

Listen, maybe this is all BS, but you just have no idea, its the fact that you can point out the Christians are hypocrites which causes you to stake a position so strongly with such limited info.The church can hold more than 16,000 people and has been previously active in relief efforts, including sheltering displaced victims during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
