‘God TV’ In Shambles After Founder Leaves Wife For Mistress, Abandons Network

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/10/11/god-tv-in-shambles-after-founder-leaves-wife-for-mistress-abandons-network/

God TV, one of the biggest Christian television networks in the world, is in complete disarray after its founder left his wife to move to South Africa with his girlfriend.

According to Wendy Alec, her husband Rory was seduced by a “Jezebel” jazz musician and had begun having an affair. Citing Satan, Wendy claimed that the woman stole her husband for ungodly reasons and the two have fled Israel (where God TV is based) to live on a farm in South Africa. For his part, Rory admits that he is now living with the woman but denies that she was sent by Satan.

The Alecs had co-founded the station together in 1995 and had since grown the network to the point where it was getting millions of viewers each week from across the world. Despite that international success, all was not well behind the scenes. According to Wendy, Satan was secretly working to destroy her marriage by putting her husband in a place that no man could resist temptation: the music studio....

In 2010, for example, the Christian network “Daystar” was rocked by the revelation that its co-founder was having an affair with an employee. Lawsuits between the founders Marcus and Joni Lamb and various employees flew back and forth, before finally being settled. The network rebounded only to fall into a second scandal just a year later when a former employee filed a sex discrimination lawsuit against it. Just two years later, Daystar remains one of the most successful Christian programming networks in the world.

...When Old Fuzzybeard, Junior, and The Other One try to teach them humility, the ones who need it most just blame Me. Thereby guaranteeing that they'll come my way when it's their time. I love this racket!"
