Televangelist Gimmicks & Free Offers Remix

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.

Let's ride the trolley to the land of NOT make believe...

While doing my usual browsing, I found a bunch of complaints against Peter Popoff and his ministries on the Rip Off Report site.

One report that caught my eye was made by an alleged ex employee of Kelly Media Group, an advertising agency that worked for Popoff.

According to the informant, who worked closely on the Peter Popoff account, she witnessed first hand the team of little evil elves that sort through Popoff's mail and pluck the checks out, while sending the prayer request letters to another department to be entered into a database. The purpose of the database, says the informant, is to produce relevant prayer letters that appear handwritten by Popoff himself; this makes sense to me since there's probably nothing more inspiring than a hand written letter from God's agent himself! and I'm sure many folks are inspired to send in more cash and prayer requests. But I digress, so where was I? Oh yea, so the informant also states that Popoff doesn't pray for anyone who sends letters and prayer requests because he in fact, never even sees the letters! The complaint goes on to mention that Popoff is basically a fraud (what a suprise! not) in the same way a mechanic would be if he claimed to fix your car when he hadn't even looked at it.

One interesting item is a rebuttal made by an employee insider by the name of Nickolas who defends Popoff and attacks the informant. Another commenter has speculated that this employee insider may in fact be Popoff's son, Nickolas Popoff, due to the unique spelling of the name used to sign the rebuttal post. Interesting...
