Talk:Greg Laurie

message: This is a biography of a living, publicly known person. As such, I suggest the sources on this page be triple checked. There are many potential inaccuracies throughout the article. Laurie has written over a dozen books, some of which are autobiographical, all of which are available at most bookstores. Suprisingly, not one of his books are cited in the article when reporting on his education or past. So where did the information come from - someone's internet blog? Is it "Wikipedia reliable" or just some biased drivel from those who don't fully agree with Laurie or his beliefs? 
Also, nothing is mentioned about his significant ministry experience prior to establishing Harvest Christian Fellowship - apart from some obscure reference to a small bible study he led over twenty years ago. Laurie didn't simply "walk out of obscurity" and start preaching - let's get some better facts on this guy people!  Additionally, nothing tangible is mentioned about his "Harvest Crusades" (i.e. attendence figures, past locations, guest speakers / musicians, etc).  We didn't just raise almost 8 million dollars for Wikepedia to bolster our own opinions about someone's faith and qualifications. VERIFIABLE FACTS ONLY PLEASE.     —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.242.1.50 (talk) 19:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't take information from the subjects of articles (what we call "self-published sources"). They are notoriously unreliable. We want impartial information from reliable sources. And we certainly aren't going to turn this article into a fan reference site for "attendence figures, past locations, guest speakers / musicians, etc"! --Orange Mike | Talk 02:04, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Laurie's relatively new denominational affiliation is certainly newsworthy, but mention of it seems quite out of place for the introduction, unless in some parenthetical phrase like "Southern Baptist but still under the Calvary Chapel umbrella", which would be cumbersome for the opening sentence and is not here being recommended. Am not questioning his bona fides, his call from God into the Baptist camp, nor the fact that he long ago emerged from behind the shadow of Chuck Smith; but I suspect that most people who have heard of Laurie identify him as a Calvary Chapel man, and always would even if he severed all official ties with CC. FWIW, the word "Baptist" appears nowhere in the new movie about how he got his start in ministry. – HelpMyUnbelief (talk) 04:59, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "''Baptist'' pastor" in opening paragraph? 

message: Who edited this to include Jesus Revolution in the introduction? Seems like an unnecessary marketing ploy to hype the just-released movie. 64.201.112.203 (talk) 01:11, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I did. Full disclosure: I watched the movie recently – and liked it – so it was fresh in my thinking and in fact was my motivation for looking up the article on Greg Laurie in the first place. Mention of the movie in the intro was intended merely as a quick tie-in to something current and relevant; the idea of a marketing ploy never crossed my mind. In hindsight, though, I can see why it would look that way. If it comes across thusly, I repent in sackcloth and ashes. :-( – HelpMyUnbelief (talk) 21:44, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
