Hills' Bold and the Beautiful...and Vain

I've been reading some disturbing stories about Hillsong and its underlying depravities, which are coming to light with the help of some disgruntled worshipers. Although Darlene has not yet been the principal subject of any accounts.

Brian and Bobbie are significant characters, though, among many other "leaders" of the church. The stories illustrate them with baneful and corrupt characteristics. They love their Hillsong empire, theirselves, and God. Probably in that order.

Bobbie seems to have become the Fergie of the Christian scene. She released a 3-disc set, according to a Bulletin article, called Kingdom Women Love Sex. She later changed it to She Loves and Values Her Sexuality. She knows that even in church skin is in, sex sells, and it's "never far away from this brand of Christianity."

When Brian comes around, I wonder if her Sydney Harbour Bridge wan-na-go-down?

In the Yorktown Mall there's a Gloria Jeans coffee shop, which I hadn't seen since Jake and I were in Australia. Here's something interesting I just found out: the owners of the Gloria Jeans empire, Nabi Saleh and Peter Irvine, are both senior members of Hillsong. Peter Irvine serves as treasurer!

Somebody get me a double-espresso!!
