The current claim is that Osteen had "like twelve other shelters open"

Any truth to this? I've seen it repeated several times on FB, never with citations.

I've seen several actual articles indicating that Osteen's recorded message directed people to other shelters, but nothing about the charlatan himself opening any.

1. Nope. We'd have heard of that shit like fucking IMMEDIATELY, instead of days later.

2. None. Like the scum trumpenfuhrer, he kept changing his lies. Nt

3. These assholes lie like it's a bodily function so I'm not surprised.

4. Osteen could have housed several thousand over at the homestead.

5. doesn't matter how many others were open

HE SHOULD HAVE VOLUNTEERED IMMEDIATELY

the fact that he didn't (no doubt because it would cost him money) tells us all we need to know about that creepy con man

6. That was my answer, in fact

Another poster noted that the "other" shelters were probably the mosques that received people even as the uber-Christian Osteen was telling them that he had no room at the inn.
