VICTORS and not victims.

Congratulation Joel and Victoria for standing strong in your faith in GOD and letting GOD fight your battles. HALLELUYA!

I knew Brown was lying and just trying to take advantage of people who had money. I know the Osteens will forgive her and I hope Brown learned a lessons on the perils of seeking wealth through dishonest means. You can't say they are materialistic if you don't know them.

If you want to make your comments count contact Continental Airlines at custo@coair.com and let them know how you feel about Sharon Brown being responsible for your life on one of their flights. Personally, this is such a scary thought that I will not fly Continental again until she removed from her position as flight attendant.

The only person being materialistic here was Sharon Brown....then there was perjury, disrespect, defamation, and wasteful spending of taxpayer's and her money.
God is so good, his word does not come back void. Thank you Pastors Osteen, for standing in faith, and letting GOd take over this battle. Your faith and courage have prevailed. My prayers are with Ms Brown, that she finds a personal relationship with our savior, and give her peace and forgiveness.

If you do not believe that you do not mess with
Gods people let devils keep on coming against
true people of God. You think that Victoria thinks she is high and mighty, she is and you could too. I do because I am a Victor and not a
Victim and Victoria means victorius.
Lisa said:
Olsteen wasn't very christian like, and Brown made a mountain out of a mole hill, and tried her best to milk it. I know we all have bad days, but ya know, when you are a high profile christian, leave the drama for your mama and behind closed doors. Hopefully some lessons were learned.

The jury may not have wanted to punish the arrogant Osteen's and find them guilty since the Osteens bring in so much money and fame for the city of Houston, this case should have been tried in a different state to try to get a fair trial for Mrs.Brown. No matter what happens we can thank Mrs. Brown for helping bring to the public's attention what the Osteen's are really like.

Joel isn't an honest person his word can't be trusted , he denied Jesus is the only way to heaven when Larry King put the pressure on him. Joel always preaches about being a conquer and not giving into fear etc.. he is a big hypocrite and has proven to be the world's biggest chicken denying Jesus on Larry king . Joel is full of the fear of man not the fear of God,Joel will mess up your spiritual life if you listen to him. See here for proof:http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/22/lkl.01.html

Another great lesson taught here from my Pastor Joel & Victoria Osteen. BE STILL and know that I am God. I have watched and listen as well as Pray for my Pastor and his Wife for the past 2 1/2 years and have listened and read about how much money they have or how they are false prophets.
Not one time have I heard a dis tasteful word from either of them about this situation that they have sit quietly through. Another lesson I haved learned from listening and watching Pastor Victoria Osteen is the LOVE and COMPASSION that she has for everyone, it is a genuine character, trait of Victoria Osteen and Pastor Joel Osteen. They show the fruit of the Spirit.
It is hard for some people to view it from this point of view if they do NOT understand what Galatians 5:22-23 talks about bearing the Fruits of Spirit. I see this very much in the Osteens. I stand by Victoria Osteen because there is no harm in standing up for what you believe in, Victoria Osteen nor Pastor Joel Osteen are rude or mean or obnoxious people. And YES, I am a grounded Lakewood Church member of the Choir and have been for 8 years.
I am very well aquainted with Pastor Joel and Victoria Osteen and the family and they are the "Real Deal Loving Family". Bad things happen to good people all the time.

I sent my comments to continental airlines. custo@coair.com I'll be flying a different airline for now on. I won't be paying for services and then if there is a spill being told that I need to clean up my own mess!! Shame on continental for having such people working for them. People make a company, and now I see just what kind of company continental airlines is!!

I SENT THE FOLLOWING EMAIL TO CONTINENTAL AIRLINES AND URGE ANYONE WHO FEELS AS I DO TO SEND A LETTER TOO! THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS CUSTO@COAIR.COM
To Whom It May Concern:
I send this email in an effort to let Continental Airlines know exactly how I and my co-workers feel about Sharon Brown being a flight attendant for the airline. I consider not only the pilots but also the flight attendants to have joint responsibility for the lives and well-being of the passengers on every flight. When you fly, there must be a level of trust and faith the passenger has in the attendants. Now that Ms. Brown has unjustly accused not only one person but actually two different people (former co-worker and Victoria Osteen) of a very similar assault, I truly question her sanity.
Being responsible for my life on one of your flights, Ms. Brown truly scares me. I also travel first class and although I am not nearly as wealthy as the Osteens’, I would be truly concerned about the potential of a confrontation if Ms. Brown was on my flight and then the potential lawsuit. I have high expectations as well and no doubt would have expected attention to clean up a spill. Personally, this is such a scary thought that I will not fly Continental again unless she is removed from her position as flight attendant. Additionally, I am responsible for scheduling flights for all of our candidates that we fly in for interviews. I will also not use Continental Airlines for that purpose or any other.
Lance said:
Sharon Brown should be ashamed of herself! This is a clear example of another typical black woman trying to make money off of good white people. Money was the ONLY motivation for this trashy black woman! I hope Continental fires her and I hope she had to pay a lot of money for this waste-of-tax payers court appearance. Shame on you Sharon Brown! Make money the right way, not by being "sue" happy. Again..typical black woman to do this!

Summing up the years and entire cost of constructing a courtroom assembly including the monetary total of all the lost wages of six jurors, expensive downtown parking, inflated city lunch prices, commuting fares and other unforeseen expenses this ordeal has cost thousands of dollars to go down the drain in the pursuit of GREED. It angers me to know that the Honorable Judge Patricia Hancock allowed such a three-ring circus to perform in her courtroom. I have to raise the question as to why would this judge entertain such a frivolous lawsuit. Right from the start, she should have thrown this civil case out the door or perhaps she should have sent it down the hall for some other Honorable Judge to vigorously discredit the case that was presented by such a buffoon of an attorney who represented Ms. Brown. I will remember this enormous waste of taxpayer’s dollars when I am voting during the next go round elections of bench seats. I feel deeply for Continental Airlines and know that unless absolutely necessary, I will not travel this air carrier again nor will I allow my colleagues to arrange travel arrangements via Continental Air. I believe that their corporate reputation has been tarnished and that they have failed to properly train their staff. Besides, who wants to be served by someone on sleeping aids whether prescribe or not while in mid air. The only winner in this case is clearly the Honorable Judge Hancock who lusciously bathed in the limelight of such a high profile case that surely was going to receive worldwide media attention. Kudos to The Osteen’s, Mr. Hardin and the six jurors for sticking to simple common sense and prevailing to seeing the truth unravel before their eyes. Pure triumph at its finest!

Yes, there was a disagreement and Victoria got agitated, which again proves everyone's sinful nature but if someone decides to bring accusation to a court, let him/her be ready to pay for dishonesty. I really think the lost should pay - it will stop a lot frivolious lawsuits.
