You were part of the group that saved him from being killed by the 100 foot tall Jesus who threatened to smite him if he did not raise enough money. You did it to help save a man's life!
The damn Dog-track owner here, sent him the last bit to make up whatever figure he wanted. I said we should give him nothing, and see if he was lying about Jesus "taking him home".
Years ago, I called up the 700 Club hotline to ask for prayer request for a concert harp. I even sent some money to Pat's ministry in hopes my prayers will be answered and I would get a concert harp in an instant.
Didn't happened at all, did it?
No. Instead, I spent 25 years searching for a realistic way to afford a concert harp non-stop until September 15, 2016 came. The Day of the Blessed Event where I finally laid my hands on an actual Camac Athena concert grand pedal harp of my very own which turned out to be possible courtesy of my late mother, my part-time job at my local mental health center, and building just enough credit to afford putting $3,200 down towards buying my harp I named "Grover." who's been the absolute love of my life ever since.
No God poof the harp into existence by giving scamvangelical dummies money right here.
Strongly disagree. The whole point of them preying on the vulnerable is that their victims are *vulnerable* to lies and deceit. Doesn't mean their victims deserve it.
And while Popoff isn't very sophisticated, a lot of cons are. Raw IQ doesn't protect anyone because these are trained skills. In fact, raw IQ can get you in trouble by making you think you can't be fooled, when you can. Thus, the Arthur Conan Doyle problem. And why phishing works so well.
Why do all of these “religious” leaders all look that same? Botoxed to the point where their faces don’t move. Spray painted hair. Overall creepy look. 🤮
Anecdote: Most High Streets in the UK are a sea of closed up shops these days. My local one has only 30% of shops still open . The city fathers have appointed a 'czar' to revitalise it - it's the longest High Street in Wales. The local rag reported this and asked shop-owners how they are faring. It's unusual for anything evangelical to be reported on in the UK, but prominence was given to the owner of the 'Heavens Above' cafe on the High Street whos picture had him smugly sporting a sweater with John14-6 on it.. He claimed they were thriving and, Quote: 'we hold a monthly healing service and lots are healed.' .........Arrogant b****** I commented that if this is so, why didn't he and his fellow god-botherers travel two miles to our local large hospital and empty it and send patients to their cafe instead. Just think how wonderful our country would be if it didn't have to finance the NHS, sick folk could go along to 'Heavens Above' and for the price of a sandwich and a coffee get healed. My comment was up for about two hours, then it was deleted as 'not adhering to community guidelines.' WTF????? So lying through your teeth for jesus does adhere to them apparently.
Then today, our local community web page advertises an evening of 'Mediumship' and adds, 'Healings by appointment.'
Yes, hubby was a baptist pastor and one time we took my small daughter's BF along to Sunday School in our car. She asked hubs, 'Mr Smith, are you a Medium?' As fundies we were a bit shocked by her question but she added 'It says you are on the label sticking out of the back of your sweater.'
So how then, do you define stupid? Is it an attitude? They can change. Is it neurological? That is possible to be worked with. What is your personal definition of stupid / stupidity.
Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy
"Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy. GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans. Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents. Data speaks louder than party lines."
As a supporter of Musk and as an absolute free speech support, we should arrest the chatbot and it's woke-mind-virus infected libtard parasitic creator and deport them back to Africa.
I saw that story elsewhere. Hopefully the journalist keep on top of it because there are plenty of possible developments in particular lawsuits! It could actually be that the children are undocumented in the new country and thus unable to access public services.
Also deporting US citizens? That alone could be an interesting lawsuit, never mind the medical issues!
"The Word Network disagreed at first. They argued that it was “abusive” for Ofcom to “all of a sudden raise an issue” when Popoff had essentially been grifting for decades. They also acted like they were the victims of a double standard since other networks aired nudity and pornography without Ofcom punishing them for it."
because showing penis and vagina is way worse than putting people health at risk over a religious charlatan bullshit claims
It's too early in the morning for this sort of Christian grifting.
If there were a loving God around somewhere, why would such an entity allow this jerk to get rich by conning honest folks in his/her name? PSA: When someone is asking for money, please remember to engage the brain BEFORE giving them any! The fact that Popoff is hardly the only one like this should clue everyone in to the fact that it's nothing more than a racket.
I'm going to go back to bed, and hope things look better later. Even if they don't, at least I'll have had some sleep.
Just had a religious grifter at my door a few minutes ago, soliciting donations under the guise of "taking a survey about the prospect of a one world government." Left some sort of religious nonsense pamphlet in my door after I slammed it in his face.
This is a serious question - how does one keep these assholes away from one's property? We have a "No Soliciting" sign posted, but we still get them. Do these assholes think it doesn't apply to them? Do we need something more explicitly worded?
I mean, JFC, I thought when we moved from Florida to Minnesota, we'd be getting away from these idiots.
I was in the same boat. I even put a pentagram on my door ffs! My new sign now has a list of things I won’t tolerate, religion being one. I haven’t had anyone since.
But can't you sue them for trespassing or something if you have signs posted? Do these signs have to be worded a specific way? Words cannot express how infuriating it is to open my door to an asshole in a suit, standing on my doorstep as if he owns the place, hectoring me with his BS after ignoring a posted warning sign.
While this doesn’t solve the problem of them coming to your door, I suggest that you take control of the conversation by 1. Asking them if they can read and understand English. 2. No matter what they say in response, point to your “no soliciting” sign and say, “Can you read this?” 3. No matter what they do in response to number 2, say “Go the fuck away and never come back.” 4. Then slam the door without waiting for any kind of response.
Whatever you do, never respond to anything they say.
It sounds like the jehovahs witnesses cult. They are focussed on that stuff. I find that asking them about the Australian High Commission enquiries into their child sex abuses, keeps them away for about a year at a time.
I mean, is he lying when he says "send me seed money and someone will gain riches"? He's the one gaining those riches. 🤷♀️ snake oil salesmen are here to take advantage of the dumb. The god grift has always paid.
My new god free Fresca miracle drink will cure all ailments, regrow your hair and is a great spring tonic. One case is only $500.00. Just send me your credit card or bank routing number and the miracles will happen for you. Guaranteed*!!!
*Guarantee void outside of my Cayman Islands PO box..
If you send money to these grifters, I have zero sympathy for your stupidity..
I sent seed faith money to Oral Roberts once. In my defense, I was eight years old, and it was a dollar from my allowance.
You were part of the group that saved him from being killed by the 100 foot tall Jesus who threatened to smite him if he did not raise enough money. You did it to help save a man's life!
Ugh!

Hard for me to shed any tears for them.
I suppose on the upside that they're being swindled by these religious cons means they will send less money to conservative political scammers.
80 year old guy with shoe polish in his hair and a cheap suit. What's not to trust?
Yup! Definite signs of Kiwi!

Sadly, his largest audience is not in UK, and will continue to finance his lavish lifestyle.
I'd like to think you were right, BH.

“Mediumship”
So not really absolutelyfantasticship.
Yes, hubby was a baptist pastor and one time we took my small daughter's BF along to Sunday School in our car. She asked hubs, 'Mr Smith, are you a Medium?' As fundies we were a bit shocked by her question but she added 'It says you are on the label sticking out of the back of your sweater.'
You can't fix stupid.
Sometimes you can't even numb it with a 2x4 up along side the head.
Yes you can. Its called education.
You're confusing being uninformed with being stupid. You can bring an idiot to knowledge but you can't make him think.
I so sorry that you never met a good teacher.
Teachers can't work miracles. Ignorance is fixable. Stupid is not.
Wow. Nice assumption.
"Do you know what happens when we assume? When we assume, we make an ass out of u and me." - F. Unger
Ignorance can be cured.
Stupid is forever.
You have not answered my question yet.
So how then, do you define stupid? Is it an attitude? They can change. Is it neurological? That is possible to be worked with. What is your personal definition of stupid / stupidity.
These are genuine questions. Not being sarcastic.
OT but not a shocker:

having a hard time sleeping tonight. came across this story not too long ago
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/undocumented-mom-us-citizen-girl-brain-cancer-was-removed-mexico-plead-rcna196339
So pro-life.
The cruelty is the point.
Stories like this are WHY we all have a hard time sleeping.
Wish i could sleep.
I can understand that…
I saw that story elsewhere. Hopefully the journalist keep on top of it because there are plenty of possible developments in particular lawsuits! It could actually be that the children are undocumented in the new country and thus unable to access public services.
Also deporting US citizens? That alone could be an interesting lawsuit, never mind the medical issues!
"One said he used the water and soon came into $64,000."
I'd say that's...questionable.
I'll see myself out.
It did seem like a rather specific and familiar amount.
That's going to be some sticky money.
You bet your life.
That was a good one! : )
The person forgot to mention that it was Monopoly money.

Peter Popoff? The names enough
How could you take anything he said seriously?
I’ll just popff to the bank right now.
It does sound a bit like a screen name for a porn star.
I know!!
Once again: "Taking the Lord's name in vain" does not mean cussing. It means using the name of the biblical god to enrich oneself.
If YHVH were real, he'd pop off Popoff.

Do you have a picture of it?
https://ibb.co/vxdWqK6z
I’ll take one
Then that’s probably what it will take for me, and I’ll get a more detailed sign. I was just wondering if that had worked for anyone else. Thanks!
https://ibb.co/vxdWqK6z
🙂👍
Thank you. That's probably better than the sign I suggested. Btw, how much did it cost to have it made?

My wife's solution is to never answer the doorbell.
sometimes you have to, unless you want to chance missing a delivery.
Caltrops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop
Are they legal, and where do I get them?
Legality seems to depend on where you live. And I'm sure an internet search could find you some convenient vendors.
Next time try threatening them wit a 9mm vasectomy.
:D

Post a sign that says "Door-to-door Jesus salespeople will be shot on sight." Of course that might get you a visit from your local constabulary.
Jesus warned everyone about people like him. If the church wants to ignore Jesus, dont blame God.
Blaming God is akin to blaming Spider-Man.
I was replying to someone who was blaning God.
I don't think that was what Whitney meant.
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension. Perhaps you needed a good teacher in your life.
I really need help with a few things, true. Just had four days straight with a migraine. Its now nearly three am and still no sleep.
The blaming God reply was to Whitney, not to you, then to you when you mentioned spider man. Your wit did not persuade me to be an instant atheist.
My comment about needing a good teacher was about being able to counteract stupidity.
I think my comprehension is ok, but i can have another look later, hopefully my brain will work after sleep.
My migraines give me seizures, so mistakes are quite possible.
I am sorry if i did something wrong or offended you.
If you want to pray that i can sleep, that would be appreciated. I dont care what religion you are or not. I am just a bit desperate. Drs no help.
Goodnight.
I hope you feel better soon.

That's because airing nudity and pornography doesn't potentially kill gullible sick people.
Yeah, and porn serves an actual purpose as well!
It is as if the authorities prefer a bit of honest nudity to cheating and fraud!
I mean, is he lying when he says "send me seed money and someone will gain riches"? He's the one gaining those riches. 🤷♀️ snake oil salesmen are here to take advantage of the dumb. The god grift has always paid.
Which is why the sooner religion dies out, the better off everyone will be.
I wish that the FCC in this country were as proactive as the UK government in addressing these scam artists.
Even less likely with the Trump admin now in charge of grifting
