I took your advice and found this statement given by Joyce Meyers Ministries:
quote 'Regarding the Purchase of a $23,000 Commode – While many have mistakenly associated this piece of furniture with a common household toilet, this particular term actually refers to the classic definition of commode identified by Webster’s Dictionary as, “a tall elegant chest of drawers.” In 2001, when the ministry moved into its current 150,000-square-foot headquarters located in Fenton, Missouri, a significant amount of furniture was needed for the larger facility. This “commode” was one piece of a total of sixty-eight pieces purchased from a single supplier to finish out the interior of the offices. A total of $261,498.21 was paid for these sixty-eight (the majority were significant in size) pieces of furniture. The $23,000 purchase price of this chest of drawers was actually an errant value assigned by the selling agent after the transaction was complete for the entire sixty-eight piece lot. Joyce Meyer Ministries humbly regrets not paying closer attention to specific “assigned values” placed on those pieces that have now led to gross misrepresentations. Joyce Meyer Ministries takes financial stewardship and accountability very seriously, and this oversight serves as an opportunity to only improve future practices'. unquote
If you are satisfied with that statement then it can be put to rest. I have no personal or spiritual interest in this matter. However, my statement about what could be done with $22,750 stands as is. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loose his own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his own soul (Mk 8:36,37). As Merryheart has said more than once, she (and we) are about lost souls. If we only have the (5) loaves and the (2) fishes to feed the multitudes, it is enough because God will bless it and we will have more left over than was in the beginning. There is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few (1Sam 14:6), but two are better than one (Eccl 4:9), a three-fold cord is not easily broken (Eccl 4:12), (5) will chase a (1000) and (100) will send (10,000) to flight (Lev 26:8). That is God's multiplication table of grace not man's (1Pt 1:2). The believers in the book of Acts had all things common and such as they had was not their own (Acts 2:44-47, Acts 4:32-37). Are we as believers willing to be of one accord and have all things common?
