After a while. tongues and ‘slain in the spirit’ becomes old hat. Like a circus, they have to keep topping themselves. In the 90s it was ‘holy laughter’. The big thing now is the ‘prosperity, health and weath’ con. It’s been around for a while, and will continue until people get wise to them.

Yes, that’s true. It does seem to be a “flavor of the month” kind of thing.
I guess its whatever somebody can use to con people…

Meism

I love it!!

Its the “Benny Hinn thinks he’s the pope” heresy.

mark a:

I saw his show one day. He claimed to have been raised by nuns in an orphanage.

Ah, the stories continue to multiply…
Why not think up some new ones for him?
Born on another planet & arrived in a spaceship.
Kidnapped by pirates in 1777, & when he wandered into town, it was the 20th C.
Born in a taxicab between New York City & Atlantic City, New Jersey,
Built in the Checker Cab Company plant as a robot laborer.
Escaped goblins in the Carpathians, & swam to Canada in his unmentionables.
Created as a space monster in the remake of a Lon Chaney silent.
Raised by goats outside San Diego…Okay, that’s silly. (It was really Lincoln, Nebraska).

This is ***way ***too much fun.

I heard a story once about a rural charismatic church that need something new because all the tongues/healings/slayings were getting boring. So at one Sunday night service they dimmed the lights during prayer time. Soon what looked like angels began drifting into the church, like they were floating in mid-air. All the people were astonded.
Except for one little boy.
It seems this boy (apparently with the same vicious sense of humor I have) took a pin and poked one of the ‘angels’.
What came out of the ‘angel’s’ mouth was something less than holy.
You can fool some of the people some of the time…
