A prominent televangelist appeared before a worldwide television audience Tuesday to admit that he had an affair with a woman years ago — and to allege that three people had tried to extort millions of dollars from him to stay quiet about his infidelity.

The Rev. Marcus Lamb, who created DayStar Television Network with his wife Joni, said he and his wife had healed their marriage and had hoped to keep his adultery private, but went public because they would not pay extortionists. The three people demanded $7.5 million, he said....

The Lambs' supporters on the broadcast repeatedly described the affair and the extortion plot as an attempt by the devil to discredit the evangelist couple and their ministry. DayStar is rooted in Pentecostalism, the Christian tradition known for its spirit-filled worship, and its belief in modern-day miracles and everyday battles with evil influences.

"I think this was a direct attack from the devil," Fred Kendall said, although Lamb responded that only he is to blame for his wrongdoing.

:nopity: :rofl: :nopity: :rofl: :nopity: :rofl: :nopity: :rofl: :nopity: :rofl: :nopity: :rofl:

Note: Lamb's DayStar is the outfit that tried to hoover up KOCE, the PBS station in Orange County, a few years ago. Now that L.A.'s KCET is leaving PBS, that would have been disatrous. :scared:
