Mention should be made of the use by Parsley of Paul Cameron's thoroughly discredited "research" on homosexuality. Parsley recites Cameron's figures at every opportunity and the continued use of such numbers speaks volumes about his methodology and his character.
So I just saw Parsley on one of Springfield, MO's three Jesus-channels, in an infomercial with some sketchy homeopath selling an "audio cookbook" for around US$90. It's called "Eat, Drink, and be Healthy" or something, and they're yammering about "body toxins" or some other psuedoscientific nonsense. I know that lots of televangelists are in on these seedy snake-oil operations, and I'm wondering whether Parsley's involvement in these sorts of rackets is WP-worthy. The "Doctor" goes by "Broer" or something. I didn't quite catch the name, but they're telling folks that tap water will kill them. This is even worse than Pat Robertson's magical energy shake. Anyone know anything?MosKillinest00:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

"Parsley encourages a variation on the Biblical concept called tithing. Though tithing is taught by many pastors, critics say the view held by Parsley is a variation of the controversial Word of Faith theology commonly embraced among Pentecostal and Charismatics.[2]" What does this mean? What is the variation? Without describing it, this is useless.—Precedingunsigned comment added by76.7.127.192 (talk •contribs)

I've changed the first sentence of the "Political Activism" section: "After years of selective involvement in moral issues in Washington, D.C., Parsley discerned a call to become more involved as he witnessed the signing of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003." It strikes me that in an encyclopedia, people don't "discern calls"; ifJesus andJoan of Arc didn't, I don't think Parsley did either. I'm also giving the article an NPOV flag. Given that Parsley has been in the news lately, I think someone needs to spend some serious time making the tone a little less evangelical.Daniel P. Shannon (talk)22:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The main article says that Parsley "has tended to side with more liberal organizations on issues of social justice, such as poverty, racism, women's rights, human trafficking, pornography and prison re-entry" yet there is no frame of reference for this. What is the universal stance of "liberal" organizations? Is this an opinion? Should it be removed?Rkpuffate (talk)16:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence I am referencing is in the opening paragraph: "His television program, Breakthrough with Rod Parsley, airs daily on the Daystar TV Network, the Trinity Broadcasting Network, and The Word Network."
I've watched that network - TBN - intermittently for more than 8 years. I don't believe Rod Parsley has been on that network for several years. I have looked through their schedule looking for Parsley's show; I don't find it. I've also searched TBN.org and found nothing. I do know he was a "celebrated" pastor on that network at one time.
I can't speak for Daystar or The Word. I don't watch either network.
