“When someone sends you jizz through the mail it’s time to stop doing whatever it is your doing,” Wanda Jo of The Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption.
The king of this religious scam of sending money to get a 10 fold return has – and still is – Robert Tilton who even spent some time in jail for it. I used to watch SUCCESS IN LIFE just so see how stupid Christians could be. Wow… We’re talking pea gravel there.
Tilton would call the donation vows “chits” rather than “seeds.” He would gather them up, yellow slips of paper about the size of a credit card – and kneel down at the center of his plant laden stage with handfuls of them, through them up in the air and catch them to rub all over his body while he spoke in Pentecostal tongues. Really. And people would send him millions. I would love to see the data on what states contributed the most, though he did at the time work out of an old Home Depot in Dallas, Texas.
My favorite moment on all of TV was when I happened to see him grow legs for people. He approached a wall between his house plants and bent his right leg so he tilted to the right. He then told those viewers who were born with a short right leg to hobble up to the TV screen and touch it while he spoke in tongues as Jesus grew those legs back to normal size. But you ask, what about those with short left legs? Not to worry at the end of the show he went to the same wall and bent his left leg, tilted left and healed all the people whose left legs were shorter than their right ones.
The horror of it is not really stealing money from very very stupid people but that very very stupid people vote.
