Televangelists have been doing this for decades. This guy just knows how to exploit a situation. And the elderly, and the desperate.

Sad. Real churches give you money and help when they can. This is just a business, and businesses are designed to soak up as much money as possible.

Unfortunately, (tel)evangalism has been eating itself for decades and is stronger than ever. It's the kind of business that can afford to consume it's clientelle and still count on a steady stream of the credible in the future. "The god I believe in isn't short of cash, mister."

I agree with La Petite. Any moron who'd fall for this deserves to get soaked.

(Sorry, Gang, it's been an angry kind of week.)

this isn't religion's fault, there are corrupt people in every area of life. i think if people aren't smart enough to see they're being taken advantage of, then they probably deserve it. at least in this situation.

I'm a Christian and this guy makes me feel very sad inside.
There's so many idiots giving religion a bad name.

God tells us to give money if we want to, he doesn't demand it of us, but asks us only to give if we are willing. And when I say give, I mean give to the poor and the people who need it.

In my Church we occasionally give money to our members who can't afford to eat due to lost jobs and things.

Not to non-traceable companies and people.

This kind of charlatanism should be illegal. It's so sad that so many confused, unhappy people fall for these guys all the time.

What disappoints me more about these scumbags is the fact that those that believe them can't tell they are being taken advantage of because they are being manipulated through their own beliefs and vulnerabilities. I wonder how long evangism with survive considering how much of it is eating itself alive.
