4. It refers to Pat Robertson's religion nut organization
in other words all the poor rubes who send him money.

In here we refer to it as the 700 club when we reach 700 posts. We celebrate, jokingly, reaching 800 and leaving the club.

5. I know what the 700 Club is
But what I don't know is what the "700" refers to. Why did Pat pick that number?

10. It refers to CASH, of course.
You originally entered the 700 club by donating $700.00 to Pat's "charities."

11. To be more precise...
The 700 Club television program is an outgrowth of a 1963 telethon in which founder Pat Robertson asked 700 viewers to join the "700 Club" by pledging $10 a month, money needed to meet CBN’s monthly budget. After a very successful "700 Club" telethon in 1966, Robertson decided to add to the end of his station’s broadcast day a program with a format of prayer and ministry coupled with telephone response. He named it The 700 Club, hoping to build a nationwide audience based on this earlier success.
