If you wondering what the latest news is on the Faith Movement’s Wonder Twins, look no further. Tampa Bay Online published an article on Sunday entitled, “Hoping for A Revival“.

I offer you the noteable quoteables, but you can read the full article by following the link above.

Apparently, they realized that they their wonder twin powers of money making only work as when they are together and not flying solo.

Now, with Paula’s national audience dwindling and church attendance in decline, the couple have once again joined forces. Paula has returned to the Without Walls pulpit to reinvigorate the ministry and is scheduled to preach today.

Paula, 42, left Tampa and partnered with pastor Rick Hawkins’ 2,000-member church in San Antonio, Texas. She bought a $681,000 home in the area.

Randy, 50, was left tending a diminished flock in Tampa. He removed hundreds of seats in the auditorium and eliminated two of three Sunday services.

Here is some encouraging news. It’s just possible that people might be waking up to some of the absurdities of the White’s Dynasty and their assault on Biblical Christianity.

The number of visitors on the church’s once-popular Web site dropped from a three-year high of 55,500 in October to about 7,200 in July, according to Web monitoring company Quantcast.

In recent months, Paula’s depleted finances forced her to pull back the number of networks on which she broadcasts “Paula Today,” her television show targeted to women seeking biblical guidance for their everyday lives.

The article goes on to state that Paula sent out a support letter last month where she asked for money to “broaden the ministry”.

Traffic dropped on her Web site, too.

In July, 21,000 people came to paulawhite.org, down from 61,000 in October, according to Quantcast.

Do I hear the sound of sheeple turning into thinking people? I’m not getting my hopes up but I do remain optimistic.

Apparently, Paula also routinely lies about her past.

Friends and their relatives who used to attend the church say they have privately boiled as Paula wrote in books and preached on the air about marrying a rock singer she barely knew and living on “government cheese.” They insist Paula and her first husband, Dean Knight, were not poor and that the marriage was a loving one on Dean’s behalf. They said she left him in part because she believed Randy had the charisma and talent to take her far in life.

Of course Paula denies this:

“Randy and I have told our story over the years to the Christian community and we stand by it. We cannot control the way our story is or has been reported, nor can we control gossip, innuendo or other people’s memories of events 20 years ago. I have no further comment.”

Then there is the matter of the exagerations in her ministry and how the facts often change:

At 18, Paula got pregnant with Knight’s child. They married a short time after the birth of their son.

Randy, eight years older, was a gregarious associate pastor of the 60-member church, which was run by his father, the Rev. Frank White.

Randy was married to his first wife, Debra, and they had three children. But the Walls and others said Randy flirted with women at the church and was widely known to keep a list of women he found attractive as a bookmark in his Bible.

Yet Paula publicly stated:

In a 2003 video broadcast, Paula preaches before a crowd of thousands about the struggles of raising the four children that “came out of my birth canal.”

Paula has one child; Randy has three.

Paula also went on to lie about helping a young girl “unlock her potential”.

She cites the case of Tareon Alvarez. In 1996, the then-14-year-old and a friend threw acid on a fellow student’s face at a bus stop and cut the girl with a razor blade. The attackers were charged as adults with aggravated battery and pleaded guilty. They got seven years in prison, but the judge suspended the sentence, giving them one year of house arrest and nine years’ probation.

However, she greatly exagerrated the truth:

But Paula’s involvement was so overstated in the article, Alvarez repeatedly asked for published corrections. When she didn’t get a response, she got a lawyer to write a letter to the magazine’s law firm.

Paula never put her through private school or cosmetology school, and she was never Paula ’s hairdresser, the letter stated, contradicting the article.

Paula has also recently made a shift to more of a motivational speaker than preacher:

She now describes herself as a life coach, motivational speaker and author. She was featured at real estate and wealth expos alongside Donald Trump.

Those who study evangelicals say it’s common for prosperity preachers such as Paula to embrace a gospel of materialism.

“It has been easy for those so inclined to further de-emphasize the spiritual aspects of Christianity in favor of legitimizing full-bore materialism,” said Bill Martin, a Rice University professor. “In such a climate, a growing number of preachers see - and experience - no problem with acknowledging that many people regard them as motivational speakers or life coaches first, and preachers second.”
