I had a 17 year old patient who was a kidney transplant. He went to a tent revival where a preacher told him to stop his anti rejection medications and trust in the Lord. He did so, his body rejected the transplanted kidney, and he died within weeks. My question is why they couldn't prosecute that preacher for murder?

[@Nocturnalux]

I wonder about that as well. From what I understand, there are laws that protect this kind of “practice”, along the lines of tiny letters, “for entertainment purposes only”. It’s a loophole and as they aren’t doctors- who are beholden by much stricter rules and an Order- there is no supervision. It is illegal to practice medicine without a license so you’d think they were liable but no!Since they provide “advice”, it’s just that, legally. This should be illegal. Absolutely illegal.

100's of millions of Christians DECEIVED by Pentecostal Prophets, Faith-Healing Charlatans, and Evangelical Zionists, in 2016, who proclaimed Trump, chosen by God, to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Do YOU have ANY IDEA what Jesus taught about that Temple or about rebuilding HIS Temple in 3 days? Verily, the Vernal Equinox of 2030, marks the beginning of the 3rd, 1000-year Days of Heaven, since Jesus was crucified in 30 AD. It brings the fulfillment of the resurrection, when the SPIRIT of TRUTH -- not Jesus in the flesh -- comes to all who will receive him . . . and final judgement for the devil and dragon.

Most can't walk away from that. For each 'fact' you say to draw them out makes them feel not special, whereas the things the church says to draw them in, makes your friend feel special. I used to be really upset about it all, trying to 'save' my family from these false teachers. But, I'm at peace now, as I understand there are all different kinds of people, with all different beliefs, and it's best we all don't think alike. Walk away from your friend, find other people, find peace. Cheers!

Evangelical Christians get away with supporting some some pretty incredible things. There are actually "professional ex Satanists", "saved from the darkness" who go around talking at churches and telling their "stories of horror" to enthralled congregations while the donations add up. They usually all claim to have been High Priests, which is statistically unlikely. One guy spoke of *participating* in actual murders. When one person spoke up and asked why he wasn't in prison, he said that the Lord wanted him free so he could preach! As far as I know, nobody in the congregation ever calls the police on them. By the way, back in the 80's during Satanic Panic the FBI and Law Enforcement did extensive investigation of the Satanic Ritual Abuse claims and found absolutely no evidence to back them up. And there are still charlatans who are working this scam and raking in the money from books videos and donations. As for the guy who claimed to have committed sacrifices, I wish I knew where he was. There is no statute of limitations on murder.

[@j50wells]

I was going through depression when I was 18. The preacher said I had a demon. I believed him. The whole prayer room rebuked demons out of me all night long. Then the pastor finally said, "I saw the demon leave." What they didn't know is that the theatrical lie they played out on me caused me to fall into a deeper depression. The humiliation I felt was unreal. I finally quit going to church. Today, I'm agnostic. What really gets me is that I let them do that to me. I allowed it because I was afraid of being rejected by them. That's the kind of power they wield over people.

My personal experience with faith healing is really dark. I have a neurological disorder and had spent 10 days in the hospital. It was just after that, when I went to church with my medications, that a woman said “don’t you think it’s all your medications that is causing you to have all these issues?” That was where it started. I was volunteering at the local LGBT community center and received a call from an uncle who’s niece had attempted to take their own life. I made a prayer for understanding and healing and someone interrupted and said “there’s nothing to understand,it’s the sin of Sodom” Things just spiraled from there with person after person believing in the “old Adam” and that any things got to the point that I really began to look at my faith and beliefs. I saw just how much shame was pushed on me just to believe what I needed to, I saw the issues it was causing me. The cost was too much. I had to let go of it and go my own way. I’m not sure where that is, but for certain all this “faith healing” has caused more pain than healing.

Never go to the doctor, never have surgery, never get your bones set if they are broken then because “only Jesus can heal”. Absolutes are completely stupid!

[@IsmailofeRegime]

As the uploader notes in the video, there do exist small-time faith healers who don't do it for money and sincerely believe faith healing is legitimate. They can still be dangerous though if they're telling the supposedly "healed" to eschew medical check-ups and whatnot. As for the big names like Hinn, no one can read their minds. It's possible they justify to themselves that lots of people are being "brought to God" through watching the "miracles" these charlatans purport to perform. But they have to be aware that they are engaged in tons of deception, especially ones who do blatant fakery like the "leg extension" trick shown in another video on this channel.

Why are this people not prosecuted by the law. If people die do to them telling them that they are cured and the person dies or if they take money on fraud, why is the law not looking into this? I knew a good friend that his grandmother gave away all of her possessions and ended up with nothing. She was 80, believing that the money was going for a good cause but found out later when it was too late that it went into the preachers' pockets. He lived in a mansion, many cars and a plane while she and many like her ended up in the street.

[@HolyKoolaid]

They're not prosecuted, because unless a preacher tells someone to commit a crime or unless the preacher commits tax fraud, they can get away with just about anything because of "religious freedom." It's a really fucked up loophole, and our laws need to be fixed in order to protect vulnerable people from sharks in white collars.

[@cocobutter3175]

The diabetic kid one makes me so mad because I went through almost the same thing as a newly diagnosed kid. The night I got out of the hospital, my mom took me to a faith healer, and kept taking me for years. It never worked, of course. Not all, but a few basically said I needed to show faith by throwing away my insulin to be healed. This kid was lucky enough to have a pump--I didn't have that, but with a pump and cgm, they can be linked together and act like an external pancreas, and get your A1c as close to normal as possible. Even with just a cgm, I'm doing better than I ever did, and it just tracks blood sugar, constantly. But they took his pump, the tool that's as close to a new pancreas as you can get right now, and made him suffer. Once you've been diabetic, and then gotten a pump or cgm, I can't explain to you, the dread and anxiety of being without those things, suddenly. They improve our diabetes so much, and we start to feel so much better than when we had to control it manually. And not having insulin when you really really need it? I can't describe how it feels, it's pain everywhere and nausea, you start puking, it's awful. It's torture.

[@sakura1044]

I don't think these people understand that our healing doesn't come from people. It comes from God. I would never let anyone tell me not to take life saving medication or to give my kids medication that can save their lives. I will pray to God for their healing. I went to a church once where they took someone's heart medication.....It was insane. God also gives us people who make these life saving treatments and medications.

"Dad, I declare your goodness and thank you for imparting to me $20, in the name of your son (oh,that's me). You said in your email to me that you would give unto them that ask, and so I speak financial blessings and thank you for blessing me". He'd think you were nuts. And he'd be right. You don't plead and beg with an earthly father, so why would an invisible god ask for sycophantic nonsense?And why wouldn't he just heal his 'children' anyway? If I could heal my kids of cancer, they wouldn't have to ask - it would be done, no matter what they had done to me!

@Holy Koolaid Thanks for all you FANTASTIC work, I found you a few days ago and love all you have done! 20 years ago, I met Torben Sondergaard in real life a few times, since he lived in the same town as me., that was when he had just been "saved by Jesus" and already back then he creeped me out. He and the minister of the church he had started, went on later to join two other churches in Copenhagen which later were affiliated with national exposure for scamming their members out of money and doing very unethical stuff to their members. The leaders of those churches are Ruth Evensen (now Kristiansen, guess scammers need to change names) and Christian Hedegaard, if you are interested in it for further research. They are still hurting people to this day in Denmark and probably around the world too. The minister from the first church that had started out with Sondergaard went on to be a spokesperson for one of the other churches in national TV, but later denounced the church, realizing they were scammers - I know because I met him some years ago where he told me. Torben Sondergaard kept on, it seems.
