There was a severely disabled man on the religious show the 700 Club years ago. Does anyone remember his name?

There are many kinds of disabilities. I was always too small to be good at sports, but participated at some level. Mrs. Hawkings says little Steven did not concentrate on school until he found out he had Lou Gerigh's disease(alateral scilorsis?). And there is nothing he rather do than work now. He gets to travel and is famous because of his difficulties. He has been on Star Trek and The Simpsons since he is so recognizable. \nPerhpas we all have some differences, things we are not good at and hopefully we contribute what we can and not pig out on resources.

I guess I can think about a fellow named Christian, Can't remember his last name, but he was in the paper for starting a company that does really cutting edge wheelchair designs. Oh yah and he himself is in a wheelchair

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you he passed away.  :-(\n\nSometimes... can't believe it has been over 25 years.\n\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/views05/1208-33.htm

No. I don't think so. I am right with God. I am a jerk and we both know it. And I fight it. I believe in Jesus and he forgives me my sin. \n\nBut I do not look forward to the disability or pain affiliated with aging and death.

I don't know him, but you could try to find him on intelius.com.  (They do charge for this service, but it isn't too expensive.)

This happened to me last December.  I wound up in ICU.  What to do about my disabled/non-driver husband, the house, getting around etc.  The Hospital I was in sent a Case Manager (an RN with Social Services training etc) to visit me in.  She really helped.  I could not believe the amount of available services in my area.  There are Catholic Charities, Jewish Chariles, Lutheran Charities,  none of whom care what (or if) your religion is.  There is a low/no fee medical or seniors transportation service.  The list went on and on.  If you have the $ or not, services are available.   Hopefully,  so are REAL friends!!

Dont know about now.  I know he had a very good friend who was a porn star and she killed herself.  He was really tore up about it.  \n\nI know his mom owns a chain of famous comedy clubs.\n\nActually had a friend that met him one time.

As a child we grew up with a neighbor who was paralyzed. He could not move his arms, hands feet, legs,\nneck or head. In summer she would have him sit outside in his wheel chair. His hands always lying across the other on his lap. She always had a sheet over him , sleepers on his feet.  In his room was a t.v. and a bed that he stayed in . Most of the time he was upright in bed where one could roll his head down to a level position. Numerous times a day he had to be turned where he was facing the floor. My sister, my mother and I always went to assist in helping turn him. It looks like you are flipping him over, which you are to face downward or upward. We would talk to him but he would grunt like and look at us. He was indeed a wonderful person and yet he could not feel a thing. His wife fed him, washed him and catered to him until the day he passed. This is how I met a paralyzed Man for the first time. I thank God for having met him and spending time with him..

He has been making a small comeback. \nIn the eighties he was exposed in a fraud that involved the burning of a house. \nHe claimed to have been made destitute by the loss, then it came out that he also owned a mansion stuffed with expensive goods.  \nThere were rumors of insurance fraud, I don't think there were any charges though.\nHis ministry collapsed and he was forced to work for another televangelist until the smoke cleared.

There's an old email address available online for the society he co-founded.  Their website is offline, so it may not be functional:\n\nghuk@btinternet.com

WOW, I was not aware that Billy Ray's wife, TISH, passed away.  Are you sure about that?  I haven't been able to find supporting documentation either way.  I'll keep looking, though.

yes it's \n\n              Maury  Povich\n\nit's really good program to watch. it doesn't only have that one style of show on it. it also has days when disabled children come on and talk about their problems (some times they receive a wish gift) and other times they have animals on the program. it is a multi style program that's a hit with 30 and older year olds.

Yes, I think that is horrific that he would lead so many people and live a lie.  I can not stand hypocrites.  How are you supposed to preach about Sodom and Gomorrah when you are living in it.  It makes me sick.  I am a Christian, but it seems like a lot of these people who claim to be Christian Leader's are going to hell in a hand basket.  Yes, he needs criminal charges brought against him for being a liar, drug user, and male whore.  I just want to throw up!

Agree with Niet.., does this guy have a broadcast, cause I'd tune in!\nSounds like you got stuck with a non-judgemental, open-minded, well-read, modern thinker. A person who cares for all God's children, gee how unlucky for you. \nIronically I bet even though you have this hate in your heart for him (while in church confessing your sins-one of which is hate) here's this guy at the pulpit praying for your redemption.\n\nI know God doesn't have a problem with this guy.\n\nDo you think church is supposed to be some members-only club, and only those who think the "right" way are allowed?\n\nBoy are you in for a shock in the afterlife. Luckily all of us will be up there to see the look on your face, and also luckily for you God has a lot of forgiveness and love in him.\n\nMaybe that's what you should be learning about in church, forgiveness and love.
