Any of you former fundies/evangelicals remember these two clowns (believe, reject)

They call this "holy laughter." Just watch to the end when Kenneth Copeland joins the BS.



When I think back that I used to listen to these guys (in my earlier days of the "Christian walk"), I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I rejected them and their nonsense later on, however, but just knowing I even bought a book, an album, listened to their sermons was a waste of money and time I can't get back.

Is this holy laughter supposed to be similar to speaking in tongues, or really gibberish if we want to properly label it? What will they think of next?

I'm familiar with Copeland and his fellow ilk: Jesse Duplantis, Jerry Saville, and Mr Rolls Royce Jesus himslef, Fred Price. My mom and other relatives used to watch them all the time. Thankfully, they didn't believe 100 percent in their message.

Their get-rich-quick schemes guised as religion bug me to no end. Give us 10 percent and you'll be rich like us. It doesn't matter if you're about to be kicked out of your home or not, still give to us your money and have faith. If things get worse for you, it's your fault for not having enough faith.

I don't know if they're delusion enough to honestly believe their own bs, or if they know exactly what they're doing and are perfectly fine with it.

I'd like to give them a King Cobra and tell them to handle it as the bible instructs them to. When they get bit and are close to dying, I'll tell`em it was because they didn't have enough faith.

That should be a good enough test, I think.

I can't watch your Youtube video, but I remember those guys.

I recall Oral Roberts laughing like a hyena because he had blown millions of dollars. They escorted him from the stage. (hopefully to a padded cell)

You might be happy you didn't.

I'm sure not one of those millions belonged to him.

This is why we were not True Christians®. We were not going to the right churches.

The super-wealthy Kenneth Copeland lives only 20 or so miles from my house, in his huge mountain of a house with the private airstrip.
