The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, also known within the Latino community as 'La Iglesia Universal del Reino de Dios' is facing all kinds of verbal and written attacks by newspapers, bloggers, youtubers, and more, because according to them, it has become blatantly apparent that this church is full of crap....
Emotional blackmail:
With temples in 46 countries around the world, the Universal Church is famous for its late night televangelist programs on Latino TV channels, in which they repeatedly shriek the words, "Pare de Sufrir" (stop your suffering) in a sexy half Spanish, half Portuguese accent. The programs depict all kinds of misery, humiliation, and disease, and often feature the pastors themselves offering creepy gifts, such as lamb's blood and treasure chests.
Pain & suffering:
Recent hidden camera investigations across South America, show how the pastors of the church reportedly fleece their flock in crazy, obvious ways. They make them buy books that tell them how much money to donate to the church, they set donation minimums, and they tell their flock not to bring guests on big donation days because they might disagree with donating cash to the church. One investigation even showed a pastor stepping out to a corner store and purchasing "holy oil" (vegetable oil) that was to be distributed in tiny vials as a sacred healing oil. Filming within any of their temples is prohibited, the pastors never grant any interviews, and the whole thing is one big shady mess....
