I saw on one of your protestant channels a minister selling holy water for like $9.95 that can "miraculously" make you rich. Whats the deal?

That was not a Protestant, it was a Pentecostal. Lots of difference. It is sick. But not much different than the Catholic church selling indulgences, now is it?

You're overgeneralizing. A TV minister is not numerically nor philosophically representing protestants as a whole. But I agree; it's a definite shame.

Since it costs money to pay for time on a tv station, as well as decorations, salaries and expenses, like anything else, my guess is they need to make money however they can, If their followers want the program to continue they must help with these expenses just as in an actual church..

The preachers on those channels are a false representation of what most real churches are like. They are what the bible calls
'charlatans'!
