I thought this was parody.
Can you name this televangelist?
The Prop Comic Preacher from Airwave Ranger on Vimeo.
This is Ohio`s Rod Parsley in the 1990′s. Do you get the supposed jokes? I didn’t.
I was trying to figure out the tent. Perhaps Parsley is portraying a prophet coming in from the wilderness.
What’s up with the KISS tongue thing?
(Parsley is known for blaming demons or Satan for everything)
Parsley founded World Harvest Church in Ohio. Parsley promotes a hodge podge of heretical beliefs including prosperity/word-faith, latter rain and dominionism. His church settled a 3 million dollar lawsuit last year. He begged for money saying he was under a’ demonically inspired financial attack.’ Parsley has the obligatory gated compound and jet – common trappings of successful mega-church televangelists. His Breakthough ministry branch is on Ministry Watch’s Donor Alert list.
His church services have been described as ” primal scream set to spiritual aerobics.”
In Americas ‘free for all’ they have lost the threads of integrity, honour, and ‘mercy’ to say the least.
Entertainment for a dry land of bible belt adherence is bound to get the folks ‘paying up’.
In spirit America is so full of ‘religion’ in all its forms that I doubt they would know the real thing when it turned up. As for demons there are those that for their own purposes invoke them.
If I wanted to be saved then Americas ways would suck me in dry me out and take hold of my sanity. No offense America and before anyone says anything about the British yes I know we are dry also (which is Todds hope in coming to London in February’ EEK!) but dry for hope in the reality of life not the unreality of life.
Hopesome
One can maybe only look into History to uncover good things.
Book:
The History of Christianity in England by Moorman.
A retired Anglican Priest at St James on Cordova & Gore recommended me this book.
‘Lutheran Winds’ came to England which is why the Anglican & Lutheran Churches are quite similar
Then the Wesleyan Revival
Book: How to Pray The Best of John Wesley on Prayer Co2007 Barbour Publishing
Speaks about what you’re saying
Hopesome
It sounds like there are sheep hungry for the Word of God
Or maybe like some thing that might resemble:
-Lutheran Winds
-Wesleyan Revival
-Great Awakening
-New Light Movement
The clientele are there
There is a market
There are ones providing a service
They are promoting something
Do the sheep know what they need?
What is the Shepherd providing?
Does the Shepherd know how to provide?

Your Father Knows
“Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”
Matthew 6:6 NASB
This writing by John Wesley emphasizes the importance of turning to the Heavenly Father
pg30 last sentence
Consequently, one great purpose of prayer is to produce such a disposition in us, to exercise our dependence on God, to increase our desire of the things we ask for, and to make us so sensible of our needs that we never cease wrestling till we have prevailed for the blessing (see Genesis 32:24-30).
Zowie. I used to watch him lol. He has a lot of power but it’s from the dark side.
Authority from the shadowy side sounds captivating and so 1800′s.
What scientific substantiation for all this “power” can we probe, and how does it function? If this commonplace human being is walking around like a mini dynamo and is as treacherous as your post implies – then we ought to send him to a lab for testing.
The armed forces may possibly harness his satanic muscle pack, and exploit it for anti terrorism activities.
LMAO….Always the “TEST TUBE”,Greco-Roman, appraoch to everything!
Becuase,we all know that if it is unscientific,It must not be True???? bizarre!
LIFE,is sooo, Not Linear my priend….zzzzzz
brano… Troll!
Atheist, good point, it seems there’s all this “power” yet can never be measured and is only determined to be good or bad based on one’s own understanding of their “god”. Regardless of where the power comes from, it seems all televangelists are quite “full of it”.
Tim Buddy,
Don,t commit intellectual suicide..and Throw out the Baby with the Bath water!!!!
