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....

When I say I've watched a lot of late night religious TV, I mean I've watched A LOT of religious programming.... but somehow, I managed to miss this pearl:

Her name is Jan Crouch and along with her husband Paul, she owns one of the biggest religious TV networks: TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network). She has the biggest hair of anybody I've ever known and she's always squeezing the hell out of the innocent little tissues that happen to be on her god table during one of her "prayers" and you know what, I absolutely adore her!

Since I couldn't sleep, I schlepped out the camcorder and surfed the religious channels for a bit..I was immediately drawn to this guy:
Within the span of 1 minute, he says the words prophet and prophetize about 13 times! At one point, I began to feel as though he was prophetizing directly into my brain through the TV but he was just trying to sell his "prophecy" CD....
Then, the minute I turn around, he's in a room and everybody's pointing at his mouth:
I've combed the internet for televangelist gimmick videos and I've put together a few clips for your viewing pleasure. Now, a Rastafarian might say that the methods these televangelists use to get into your wallet are pure "TacTricks" and that they should be condemned to the fire or "Fi-yaaaa!!"
This is true.
These miracle healers are pushing everything from crackers to oil to water and one pastor even has a....well, you'll see.
Paul Lewis recommends bathing with his miracle olive oil soap and if you have a serious disease like cancer or aids or if one of your legs is longer than the other one, the soap works just as well to cure you...and if you're in jail, this soap will break you out too! Fast forward to about 6:20 to see him make some lady's legs grow.
Rub a dub dub...he'll "rush it in the mail" with "no uh..strings attached"
