PASTOR WHY NA ? Prosperity Pastor Joel Osteen blocks Freeze on Twitter for asking why he refused to open his church to victims of Storm Harvey


Hehehe..........Millionaire pastor, Joel Osteen, the GO of Lakewood Church in Houston has blocked, Cool FM OAP and convener of the Free the Sheeple movement, Freeze after he questioned his decision to close the doors of his church in the wake of Storm Harvey which has dumped over 40 inches of rain in Houston where his church is based.


Prosperity preacher and millionaire, Joel Osteen, the famed pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, is facing massive criticism on social media for not offering shelter at the megachurch to victims of Hurricane Harvey.
In a post on Twitter Saturday, Osteen said he was praying for those affected by the storm, which has dumped 20 to 40 inches of rain on the Houston area alone, with more on the way.
The $50-million preacher, who lives in a $10 million home, shut the doors to his massive Lakewood Church in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey — even though it can hold up to 17,000 people.
Osteen posted a notice on his website that the church would be shut over the weekend — and it remained closed Monday.
The preacher said he was unable to offer his venue as a temporary shelter because the highway in front was flooded.
But Twitter user Charles Clymer posted a picture of the roadway leading up to the church — which used to be the home of the NBA’s Houston Rockets — that showed all was high and dry Monday morning.
“Front of @JoelOsteen’s huge Lakewood Church in Houston at 11 am. Closed due to “flooding.” Person who took it asked to be anonymous,” Clymer said.
Then the church advertised how people could help victims but stikll didnt open its doors to victims for shelter.
Read more comments below. The Pastor eventually changed his mind after so much criticism.
Joel Osteen came under so much criticism on social media that he changed his mind.
“A source at Lakewood Church just told me they're planning to open their doors to Houston's homeless and displaced. Finally,” Clymer tweeted at 8:40 p.m.
He then posted a picture of blow-up air beds and said the church was preparing to open its doors.
