W. V. was one of my favorites in the golden age of televangelists in the '80's. He really got physical with those he was healing, shoving them around the stage...apparently Jesus requires a muscular effort to induce a cure. One show I watched Grant was doing what he called the "Nine Signs of a Divinity Blessing." The first eight were all things which by happy coincidence, described W.V. The ninth sign he explained, was talking in tongues. This was instantly followed by Grant suddenly being seized and starting to blather...."Bragz spart culmal lizmerwin barago...." etc.
He then would feature his sudden tongue talking seizures once a program. I could not help but note that the tongues the Lord was running through Grant were never any recognizable languages, it was always just nonsense syllables strung together.
He wound up getting busted in Germany for fraud, I forget the specifics.

I seem to remember that one .....
This is my favorite of the former crook Televangelists....
The article cited above documents his use of false CV and so forth.
His web site makes all sorts of wildly extravagant claims about what a great guy he is and what an amazing life he has had. Had his foot "more than half cut off" and miraculously healed, run over by a semi truck and "thrown hundreds of feet" and (you guessed it) miraculously healed, etc.

You can't make this stuff up ...
I knew that Grant had been busted, but I was confusing the locale with the arrest of Ernest Angley. He was in Germany claiming to be a faith healer, so the Munich police arrested him and charged him with practicing medicine without a license, which I thought was hilarious. You may not remember Angley's name, but if you ever saw him, you never forgot him.
