They are targeting him because there's a lot of anger, and people need a target for that anger. He's a good one. Rich, white, religious, etc. All of those make good targets and he's all three.

I don't agree with any of his policies or whatever you want to call them. However, I saw photos on the news of the place and it was flooded. People were saying it was only the parking garage, but he said he had no idea how much higher the water would go. I agree. No one knew!

Also, if a person doesn't want to open their doors, then forcing them to takes away the whole spirit of it. Generosity isn't forced, that's like forcing a person to "volunteer".

I read two different things about this...one....focus on yourself and your ability to help someone during Harvey, not Joe Osteen. Secondly, I also read somewhere where one of the emergency shelters said that they did not contact Osteen because his church is too big, right now, to become an emergency shelter. With it being so large, the risk is too high for rapes, molesters, etc. to go on a rampage. The emergency worker said smaller shelters are always preferred so they can keep on eye on everyone and their "comings and goings" sort of speak. They said that if they really need Osteen's help, they will ask.
