Florida Revival
What kind of garbage is this? Do we need yet another reason to laugh at Florida?
On a more serious note, people are spending large sums of money to go to Florida for this. People with terminal illness are spending what little money they have to go take part in this.
Then, they come back wondering why they weren’t healed.
Todd Bentley, it is really too bad you’re not in jail for your youthful crimes. But, your revival is even more disgusting.
Does anybody have film of open wounds closing, festering sores healing, or amputated limbs reappearing? 'Cuz if it’s just more old ladies casting aside their walkers or throwing away their unneeded glasses this sounds like a snooze. Oral Roberts did it before and had a funnier name.
It’s being held in Lakeland. What do you expect?
FloriDopers will know of which I speak.
Zactly. Driving between Orlando and Tampa it is the place you purposefully avoid stopping at.
Isn’t that the same town where the high school girls held captive and beat another girl and shot video of it? “God clearly at work there” my ass.
Of all of the claptrap associated with fundamentalist beliefs, "healing’ has got to be the sleaziest. Face it, nobody is healed at these services-they may feel better for a while, but there is nothing that proves that any healing takes place.
Question; can you sue these guys for fraud?
I thought that was Plant City.
Polk County, not sure what city.
Actually I wondered for a second if it wasn’t Cassadaga (before I read the rest of the thread title.) Of course that might be biased considering I grew up a couple of miles from Lilydale.
(i.e. moonbats from all religions hawk instacuring, and only most of them are in it for a profit ;))
I don’t see how what he is doing is any different from what any other pastor does. They’re all taking money under false pretenses. Nobody has any idea what happens to you after you die, but every preacher in America takes money from scared people by assuring them that he does know what happens.
Have you ever met any actual pastors?
Many. Every single one pretended to know what happens to you after you die. Every single one made a living by passing a basket around for contributions.
Have you ever met a pastor that didn’t pretend that he knew what happens after you die?
Huh. I’m sitting in Lakeland right now, and hadn’t even heard of this. Y’all are making a much bigger deal of it than the locals are…
[Oh, and thanks so much, other Floridopers, for your solidarity against those who like to laugh at Florida. :rolleyes: ]
:rolleyes:
Yes, the pastor of my church has actually said he doesn’t know what happens when you die. I’ve heard this during several Good Friday services.
Well I’ll be damned.
(Maybe. I’m not sure about that though.)
Sorry, sweetie, but when my husband managed a Domino’s in Auburndale, his store got shot up by the local chapter of the KKK because he hired a black man as a driver.
I will defend Florida, but there are some pockets that make me shake my head…
Oh, well, there are hateful, dumb shits everywhere. No more in Auburndale or Lakeland than anyplace else.
But I love you anyway. 
I don’t.
Of course there’s no proof of healing. Everybody knows that the only true healing is to be found at a Radon Health Mine!
(And it probably costs less than a full round of treatments from the Rev Bentley.)
Florida! It’s the new, improved Philippines! My father was convince that if he went to Manila, he would be cured by the faith healers there. The trip alone damn near killed him. At least Florida is closer.
