Meh, couldn’t he just put the recipe up on his website like most people do nowadays? I mean, wouldn’t it be stale by the time it gets to you?
(Besides, I’ll bet the “Miracle Spring Water” is just holy water he thiefs from the local Catholic Church-he probably just goes and siphons it out of the fonts when no one’s there)
Is brother Guy Gobuster in the house? God is watching you, and He has told me you are constipated! He has told me you live in Arizona and have 6,370 posts! Are you ready? God come down and BURN the feces out of this man!
Hallelujah!

Too late preacher guy…
Other nerds already showed me the secret for being more than regular a year ago.
Why on earth would he go to that trouble and not just use tap water?
My grandmother, when she was in her late eighties, took to watching these guys on TV. And she began sending them money. She would watch Popoff, especially, or that guy in the crystal palace, what the hell’s his name? - and she would start getting scared of hell and start crying. She was going to buy her way into heaven, I guess.
Now, it’s true that my grandmother had a LOT of sins to be forgiven. An awful lot. I won’t bore you with the details, but she had been a very naughty woman for most of her long life. (The men, you know . . .)
However, the sending money part led to worse: a couple of brutes from one of these outfits actually came to her door. This was a shock, I can tell you. And it does happen, more often than people think.
Preying on the feeble and elderly must surely rank very high on the list of sins. I am as one with the poster above who wants Jesus to come and smack them down.
But I daresay it’ll be a long wait.
The Miracle Manna is not all that effective, but the Miracle Spring water is really excellent for producing results.
Not if you hit it with a couple of Miracle Absolution Tablets first.
Isn’t that what religion is about? He’s just more obvious about it than others.
Because then he’d have to pay the water bill-duh!
(You’re no fun!)
vison-you mean the Crystal Cathedral? Robert Schuller’s “Hour of Power”?
My family’s Catholic, and while yes, the church has its issues, to put it mildly, at least there have never been any annoying televangelists. Mother Angelica, aka the “Pirate Nun”, maybe. That’s about it. (EWTN can be traditionalist and reactionary, but I don’t recall anyone bilking little old ladies out of their life savings.)
Friend of mine who used to attend the church calls it “The Crystal Cashbox.” And with good reason, too.
I don’t know – look up Bishop Sheen sometime.

It almost makes you wish that god was real, doesn’t it.
If it wasn’t for Jack and Rexella, I would never have known that King Juan Carlos of Spain is, in fact, the Antichrist.
Well, maybe not anymore, but he was for a while in the '80’s.
I hesitate to ask lest the answer make my asplode through sheer idiocy exposure, but: why?
It has been at least 20 years, so I’m short on details of the “reasoning”, but if you’re familiar with televangelism, populist North American cold war politics, and conspiracy theory you should recognize the style of argument and Multiple Superfluous Capitalization.
The European Economic Community (as it then was) had a bunch of countries in it. The Great Beast of Revelation had a bunch of heads. Anything that calls itself a community must be Communist, and the Communists were going to launch their missiles any day now, which would bring about Judgment Day. Spain had just joined the EEC. They were the 11th nation to do so. As per Jack, the Book of Daniel says that the Antichrist will be the leader of the 11th nation to join the new Roman Empire. What else could the EEC be?
A quick Googling of Juan Carlos Antichrist will lead you to far more than you ever wanted to know.
Thanks. I should have hesitated indefinitely.
Yes, that is the guy …
When yuo are tired and half blasted, he is so amazingly funny=)
The late 1970’s! I was there. The twelve-headed Beast! There was also something about the Chinese building a road to Tibet that would allow them to … (maybe build the rail line.) Or somthing.
Whatever you, don;t accept the Mark of the Beast!
Also, your name is now on a mailing list which he will use and use and use for various scammy efforts to get cash out of you.
Mailing lists are probably the most valuable thing to anybody selling anything outside of a brick & mortar store.
