The Preacher Who Scammed America
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Jack Coe the faith healer who kickstarted a nation-wide faith healing tent revival before landing himself in jail for practicing medicine without a license would con hundreds of thousands of Americans out of millions of dollars. He built a small empire, packed out arenas, and traveled the US in the world's largest tent - claiming he possessed the gift of healing and spoke words of prophecy during the uncertain times of the Cold War. Joining the ranks of Oral Roberts, A. A. Allen, and William Branham, Jack Coe helped create the blueprint that laid the grounds for the modern faith healing con used by many health and wealth prosperity doctrine preachers today.
After working closely with Gordon Lindsay, editing the Voices of Healing Magazine, Reverend Jack Coe launched his own magazine, the Herald of Healing which reached over 300,000 members. Although he was exposed as a faith healing charlatan by Adon Taft of the Miami Herald, Pastor Jack Coe amassed a fortune while offering nothing but false hope and deception before the pastor died of polio at just 38 years old.

Hey Thomas. Long time no see. I'm the girl tagging you all over TikTok because you helped me so much through my deconstruction. I want everyone to see your videos
Sorry to hear things are down . Great channel. Seems your desire for good content slows down the uploads. Quality though will produce longevity for your channel. Fight the good fight.
I figure these new testament authors aren't the problem just some of thier promoters. The bible correctly describes that as itchy ears. Thpusands of years ago they talked about the peoples willingness to follow anything and double down. On the plus side you won't run out of content
Prayers and thoughts for you and your channels recovery. We'll get you a faith healer for that
Common religion/cult L
26:39 unfortunately, your hopes will go unfulfilled as people who believe in this nonsense won't get that far into your video, the 7 faithers who disliked your video definitely won't be swayed by logic, reason, and evidence.
We met at NaNoCon near Nashville this past year. I was in the VIP room quite a bit, and I got to chat with you some. You were putting the finishing touches on your scientific method talk. I was struck by how kind you were, obviously trying to prepare, and I would not shut up. Lol. It was my first convention, and you and others took the time to ask me how I was doing. It was nice talking to you. I hope you get over the hump soon, man. We need you out here, in the trenches. Bobspeed
As a kid, I went to a faith healing tent revival. Two ladies with cancer were “healed.” Within six months both died of cancer.
Ive seen evidence of these things happening to others as well. Not a far fetched account at all
@@1Impossibleguy are you saying this comment is fake or that the revival was fake? If it's the comment... I hope you don't mean the comment.
@@I_am_a_cat_ I do think the faith healer was only profiteering off the gullible. His name was Chester Hensley, and he was from Nederland, Texas. But, he held tent revival faith healing services all over the rural south. You can look him up online, if interested.
@@Daynnikes Did you actually read the comment??? The two "HEALED" ladies DIED of what they were healed of
Tbf, it was a different cancer
As a Christian I absolutely thank you for calling out these heretical and blasphemous false teachers and healers keep going you are doing a grand job people need to know about these charlatans
But but but he can do what he wants to do and then ask and receive a pardon from your own god!
Many suffer in many ways from your religion. 😢
You may be right but this person is willing to admit there are fake healers out there. That is way more than most theists. I think this is at least a step in the right direction.
It sucks how many of the seemingly much better Christians believe in this kinda thing in any amount. I got into an argument with a lady that my wife goes to church with (I don't wanna say friend. She's rude, inconsiderate, etc. In general and my wife and several others just straight up dislike her, I'm not just being mean lol) about Benny Hinn. Even if you believe his repentance was sincere, which I doubt given his history, and even if you don't think he should be in prison for neg. homicide, murder, etc. you can't genuinely argue that a man directly responsible for the deaths of a multitude of people should be allowed to preach at any level. Not without simultaneously showing a lack of real morals or compassion. That's the issue that I have with forgiveness culture. Shit that should absolutely not be forgiven outright somehow does, and they're insulated from legal repercussions.
"Faith healers" infuriate me so much. Long story short, I got sucked into believing it when I was younger, and it nearly killed me. Thankfully a loved one intervened, which is why I'm alive today.
Hey don't be too hard on yourself, we've all believed some sort of BS one time or another, and in hindsight it's always obvious... What matters is you're out of it now, and your loved one managed to convince you. Not everyone is so lucky. Cheers Mate!
I was killed in a car wreck when I was 20 yr. God brought me back And I am 87yr. GOD does heal HE is the healer,[ not man ] But it does happen. Read your BIBLE and ask GOD to teach you. HE WILL IF YOU ASK. [ ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened,] Do it and it will work---- don't and it won't YOUR CHOICE
PRAY FIR THEM TO TURN TO JESUS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. SIGNS FOLLOW THE SAINTS. SAINTS DO NOT FOLLOW THE SIGNS. Study for yourself. Ask the HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH YOU> HE WILL..
🎉😊
Wrong. MANY were healed at Jack Coe's meetings. ❤
My condolences on your breakup. My partner of nearly 11 years broke up with me about 6 months ago, and it's still extremely difficult sometimes, but time and my relationships with my friends have helped immensely. I have also struggles with depression all my life, and I know how absolutely crippling it can be so that makes me appreciate all your extremely diligent work on this excellent video even more. Thank you so much for this, and never stop exposing the truth and following your passion.
Hope you’re doing okay pal, that sounds really rough.
Saying goodbye to someone who meant a lot to you is difficult, take your time, and thanks for doing all this research for everyone’s benefit
I especially love hearing about prophetic Faith Healers who fail to prophesy their own incurable diseases.😢
When I was younger, I went to one of these faith healing churches religiously. Despite going twice a week, every week, for years, the same people were always sick. I too thought "well we just don't have enough faith" and it wasn't until I started questioning things that I realized something wasn't adding up. I remember asking our Sunday School teacher "If God created everything, why would he create a body that can get sick? If he's perfect, wouldn't it make more sense to create a body that can't get sick in the first place?" Of course, I was told "It was because Adam sinned' so then I asked "why would God put Adam in a situation where he could sin in the first place? If God knows everything, he knew Adam and Eve would sin, and knew all of this terrible stuff would happen to us, but he let it happen anyways!" I was told I shouldn't think like that >_>. Ever since then, I've been questioning everything until about 15 years ago, when my grandma prayed without ceasing for her healing, and died from cancer. My Grandma was the most religious person you could ever meet. If we ever brought anyone over, she was always like "are you Christian? Do you go to church? No? Well I'm gonna pray for you anyways." She was also the sweetest woman in the world. She was the living embodiment of that meme where your grandma is giving you money and telling you not to tell your parents. She was wonderful, but she died believing she would be healed until her dying breath. Not once did she curse God, or religion, but I did. I was there when she said her final words. Her last words were "Can I go home now?" We all knew what that meant. Ever since then, I haven't been to church, nor touched my bible. Now that I'm almost 40, I don't blame the people who still believe in this nonsense, but I hate the fact that there are people who will take advantage of people's desperation. Church has largely been on the decline for the past few decades, and I'm happy to see people refusing to give money to these charlatans. However, I don't think religion is all bad. Anything that can help people with a positive outlook on life, and give people hope while they are in the middle of despair is a good thing. But faith healing is no way to live. In fact, my Mom was always one to say that God is the one who helps doctors with their knowledge, and helps scientists make medicine. She was an avid believer in modern medicine and faith healing, she always combined the two. This video brought back some memories I hadn't thought about in a long time, and I want to say thank you for that. I do hope more people stop falling for faith healing, and hopefully people like Jack Coe, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the rest of them go the way of the dinosaurs.
Sorry about your grandmother and may the great black nothingness embrace you with loving arms.
Well said.
By go the way of the dinosaurs do you mean become chickens? Cause that would be hilarious
I'm not religious, but I think we need to remember that most churches do not practice faith healing. It's almost exclusively a Pentecostal thing. The Bible also clearly warns to beware false prophets who appear as sheep but within are ravenous wolves. False prophets like Jack Coe, Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, The Copelands, and Mike Murdoch.
The last thing I would say is it sounds like your wonderful grandma and mother understood/understand one thing: No religion ever has promised a life of peaches and cream. And just because you lost your faith in your religion doesn't mean God doesn't exist. It just means your religion was wrong. Perhaps another religion is right. Perhaps organized religion is wrong. Or maybe each one of them are like rivers flowing towards one Supreme Being or Truth that we cannot possibly comprehend.
Aw honey, if God is everything, EVERYTHING, then God is all things good and what we see as bad too. Evil is only in peoples minds and actions. If an animal did something we as humans would call evil, is it still "evil"?? No, of course not. What if God loves the WORLD, not just people. Every living thing is loved by God. We matter as much as animals and plants and every thing on Earth. If we could understand this we would treat every thing as important, not just humans and the things we like. The world would be very different that way. If we respected ourselves, as well as everything that God created, we would be better off. God created life in God's image, NOT JUST PEOPLE.
Coe’s name will fade from history, but may Salk’s be immortal.
I thought the exact same thing.
Well youre very wrong. His son is continuing the legacy and so will that son's son or daugther. A lot of his collegues and most of the other dregs who are faith healers as well are perpetuating his work and name. So no.. his name will not fade sadly.
You're not wrong, I never heard of him in all my years in or out of the faith, this is the first time 😮
@@pagghr51 Dr. Salk defeated Polio, Savage Fat Coe died from disease, greed, and gluttony and killed the children he used for government/donation money including thought Polio for which the cure was ignored. Dr. Salk is GOAT. In Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christian history, there have been many false prophets with big followings that are not useful to modern manipulators and the desperate faithful in false beliefs.
Didn't the video say his son died?
As an ambulatory wheelchair user, thank you for the open acknowledgement that we exist! We’re actually a massive percentage of all chair users but people tend to forget about us.
I also use crutches and can walk unaided, so faith healers would love me. Never mind I can’t walk more than a few feet and I waddle like a penguin with a broken foot, lol.
And if there wasn't a whole lot of internalized ableism among a lot of folks with mobility issues, the number of ambulatory wheelchair users would be even higher. And the only thing that would lower that number would be easier and cheaper access to exosuit technology (which is still a mobility aid, btw, so it's still something that would usually be associated with disabled people, and exosuits wouldn't be useful to those who have issues with standing too long, period, regardless of whether they have assistance or not).
People simultaneously ignore the (partially) ambulatory users of wheelchairs and other mobility aids, while at the same time some people *insist* that you can walk an arbitrary distance without the wheelchair or other mobility aid. I ran into that a lot while using a walker while recovering from a badly broken leg! "You can walk (in there) without your walker. We can't have you in there with your walker because (reasons)." Heck, I even ran into this while attempting to visit someone in a hospital! Yes, one which was evidently not ADA compliant. I ran into it as well in a hotel, where I'd reserved a handicapped-accessible room - which was on the second floor! "Well, OTHER PEOPLE can just walk up the stairs..." Yes, reported - both to the State and Federal governments.
My Mom ran into this in the 1960s - long before the ADA. I thought we'd maybe learned something over the years, but we haven't.
This! I work with the severely disabled and many of them are what we call stand and pivot transfer wheelchair users. They can stand with assistance for a brief period to transfer to a toilet or a chair or bed. So if healing is determined by a person standing then…
This. I use a cane normally and a wheelchair when something requires walking for an incredibly long time, like at a zoo or theme park.
I’ve gone to the grocery store before, swung my cane in to the cart, pushed the cart 2 steps, and suddenly had some random old man and his wife yell at me for “faking a handicap” because I’m not using a cane now that I want to shop and spend the taxpayers money.
I didn’t even bother pointing out that I don’t get any kind of government income (not that it should matter if I did), but when they paused for breath I pointed out that the cart was shaped like a giant walker and provided _more_ stability and support than the cane, so _of course_ I would opt for the cart!
I walked away saying “maybe think before hopping down a stranger’s throat!”
The misconceptions surrounding disability and disabled people is MASSIVE.
@@Annie_Annie__ Yes. Isn't it weird that the belief is anyone with a (partial) mobility impairment is receiving disability payments from the government? It's not true much of the time. Then, when they see someone working with a mobility problem, they'll say, "Oh, you're so BRAVE!" and "I'll bet if you got some therapy or some faith you wouldn't need that cane/crutch/wheelchair/walker."
I'm addicted to learning about faith healers. I need MORE videos. I loved the change of scenery throughout, and the towel slipping incident was pure gold. I'm glad you're keeping a sense of humor during your hard times. Coming out a ten year marriage, I totally understand how hard it can be to keep you head up. You're doing great. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for the kinds words, and I'm glad you're liking this series. I have lots more to come. :)
@@HolyKoolaid where are the sources?
Yes please!
They're a lot less fun when you're on the other side of the prayer. With the preacher trying to scream the autism demon out of you as a group of men hold you down
Have me a bit of a knowingbetter vibe. Really enjoyed it
Thank you for all that you do and all the time you’ve put into this channel. I never grew up religious in any way but this channel covers a variety of religious topics that I find fascinating and important to learn. Wishing you the best.
10 bucks poorer and still can't get an official like by the grifter and swindler exposing advocate @HolyKoolaid ????
Sorry, I must have missed the notification for this. Thank you so much for your support.
@@HolyKoolaidthat's awesome of you to right your mistakes!! Something Jack Cole could never do........
He does not want to give him the 10$
Wow! I've never heard of Jack Coe. Thank you for exposing him!
Ok why did I say the same thing that u did and I get 1 like and you 106...what the fuck...is there a reason I'm not seeing
🤔 Was he really exposed, if you were only now exposed to him?
@@zpacula: lol.... Your statement is stupid. However, which definition of expose are you using?
I never heard of this homicidal madman, too. Well, that is no surprise because I am German.
But somehow his name sounded familiar.
It is a video about Coe. So it is a Coe-Vid ... :P
Hehe, that's not all he exposed 😊 (towel drop)
Notice the way his wife took him to hospital and not to a church or that he could heal himself. And I'm getting some strong Greg Locke vibes from this guy.
Jonas Edward Salk will always be remembered. For making the world a better place. That other guy, Something Coe, we needed people like you to tell us who he was. And yeah, the would would've been a better place without him. What a legacy!
Salk took credit for the polio vaccine like a lot of other dual citizen types who are currently destroying Western Civilization. He scammed another man out of it. But we aren`t allowed to criticize the "holy" ones.
Fayci ain't t salk!!! The latter a sadistic bastard what he does to beagles and us!!!! For $$$$$$$ power, vomit.
I’ve been dealing with several chronic illnesses most of my life and as a young teen my mom tried to force me to go to a fishy healer. Luckily I was smart enough to refuse.
I'm so sorry that things have been rough for you recently. Unlike RUclips, I'd much rather a longer, well-researched and (very comically) presented video that has some real depth and meat to it. This was so much fun to watch, even though the topic is one that drives me up the wall (especially as I a chronically ill ambulant wheelchair user prior to my health worsening). Hang in there, and I'm sorry that I don't have much to offer you financially... but I hope that it at least helps a little.
No need to contribute financially. I don't want anyone to donate if they themselves are financially tight. Your words of encouragement are enough. :)
That said, I'd probably be a bad RUclipsr if I didn't also beg for a like and share on the video. 😅
@@HolyKoolaid Haha, you're fine. :) I would expect nothing less!
@@JustAnotherBuckyLover On my laptop now, and I just saw that your original comment was a "Super Thanks." For some reason when replying to comments on my phone, it doesn't always show or distinguish them from regular comments. So, I just wanted to reply and say thanks for the support.
@@HolyKoolaid You're very welcome. :)
Rockin the jury curl with style 😂😂😂😂
Sorry to hear about your heartache. Don't despair, you've got a goregeous body, a great mind, are sensitive. You're bound to find a new love of your life.
This story about Cloe was epic, man. You did a great thorough job. Thanks!
Thank you. And I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I've never heard of Jack Coe, thanks for making this now I know where these scammer evangelists started. You earned a subscriber.
I hope you're back on top of things soon. Keep up the good works, it is appreciated.
Thank you so much! This helps more than you know.
"It seems strange to me that God requires my faith and seemingly my money in order to heal me, but I can visit my doctor who does not care I have faith in a country with affordable healthcare and can explain to me my ailments and offer treatment."
Also, thank you Jonas Salk. The world truly needs more people like you.
God don't want your money like that.
I ❤ you for being human. It's not what happens to you,It's how you respond. Worry only about what you can control.
@Anjith Mathew practicing Stocic. Really into Marcus Aurelius
Thanks. And I definitely have an appreciation for the stoics. I've always had a fairly stoic approach to the world, but I read Meditations a while back and realized that the Greeks beat me to it by about 2.5 millennia! 😆
Edit: *I realized right after I posted this that Marcus Aurelius was Roman.
@@HolyKoolaid stay focused and busy yourself with things that build you. Workout 📚 and continue doing what you're doing 💯
Why am I unsurprised that this takes place in Texas?
Great video!
Sorry about the breakup.
Recently divorced. Ending things is so hard, no matter if you wanted the ending or not.
I'm sorry for your recent pain. New beginnings await for both of us. And as difficult as it is now, the sun will shine again, and it's up to us to open the blinds when we're ready and let it in.
@@HolyKoolaid Agreed. Opening the blinds is hard, I think a cat must have tangled and mauled mine. Lol (j/k)

I am a Christian and I hate these fake Word of Faith scammers. Good video.
in comparison to what? the non fake ones?
Youre being scammed already being christian
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 Yes of course there are people who get healed by God
give it up for the True Scotsman
@@cjk8249 I am an evangelical Christian; not a Roman Catholic. According to a secular newspaper there was a French Canadian woman living in Quebec who was told in 2018 that she had stage 4 cancer. Her doctors told her to prepare for her death. With nothing to lose she went to Saint Anne deBeaupre. That is the Quebec equivalent to Lourdes. She prayed for healing and her cancer went into remission. I do not believe that proves that the Roman Catholic Church is the only true church. But it does prove that God answers prayer and can heal.
Awesome work. Not sure if the humor was intentional, but the 'last word' you let Coe have at the end of your video was poetic justice. Him telling women "you make me sick" because they dared to have a small bit of sanity-preserving fun in their otherwise oppressively structured 1950s lives was laughably ironic.
Since getting 'sick' was the only thing that kept this evil monster from hurting and stealing from people until he died of old age, I have to raise a drink to all those bridge-playing housewives who, through their humble little actions, made Coe's disgusting words come true for the benefit of all. Bravo!
Thank you Thomas. You're doing good work! We all appreciate you 💕
Coe's name should never fade from history. His cons NEED to be repeatedly exposed, as often as possible. Maybe, just maybe, the victims of faith healers will be awoken to the scam.
I was depressed after my 6 year marriage ended, but if that hadn't ended I never would have met my lovely partner. I've never been happier with her.
Best of luck to you! Love your content.
Thank you for exposing these false messangers , many in the church are blinded by their chasing after miracles to satisfy their itching ears.
Great video, very informative and enlightening. When I was growing up in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the 1960/70s, there was a Faith healer called Leslie Hale. He was a total conman and he made millions from desperate people. He embezzled funds and fled to Florida. People lost money, land and their homes because of him, but still he had a hardcore of followers, who even to this day, defend him. Please keep doing what you are doing, it's vitally important!
Your channel name alone is just hysterical & your content is very clearly well researched and well thought out . I'm sure grateful that YOU dared to stop blindly accepting the force fed religious baloney and started asking questions . You are awesome & I'm right there with you on this journey !!!
I like seeing your presentation style evolve. This is fun! Even the "toaster t-bag" dark joke was more joke than dark. Keep it up!
Thanks for all of this, man. I appreciate all of this.
After coming this far and seeing all of this (FOR FREE), how could I not do something.
You're a good dude, and these videos have a lot of though, depth, and credibility to them.
They're well appreciated, and I look forward to when I begin donating to the cause.
Which is very soon.
This is the first time I have heard of Jack Coe until now. Thank you for exposing the scams of self-styled TV evangelists.
Long time viewer, first time donor (haven't always had the money to donate, though I've always loved your videos).
Sorry to hear about what you're going through, but if it's any consolation, there are a lot of strangers you'll never meet who you've helped more than you know through your videos. You helped me see many of the ways I've been programmed by religion.
I hope things get better for you in your personal life. You've given a lot more than $10 of help to me, but this is all I can afford right now. Thanks for everything you do!
Keep your head up,bro! Depression is awful and I’m so sorry to hear that you’re dealing with it. You’re an awesome person who produces amazing content and I’m always happy to see a new video from you. There are bright days ahead, brother. Hang in there, you’re loved and you’re worthy of all of it!
Thank you for your time sir ,take care of yourself ,love yourself .
Your videos have gotten a lot better over the years! Especially the editing style keep it up!!
Thanks. My next few will be pretty short and not as heavily edited, just because I've gotten a bit behind (spending too long on this video), but overall, I've definitely picked up some new editing knowledge, and it makes the videos more fun. :)
Thanks for this. It's so obvious you put a tremendous amount of work and passion into this exposé. Clearly presented, telling a complex story in a short amount of time. Not easy. Take care of yourself.
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles and depression.I was diagnosed with clinical depression 16 years ago,and I know how hard it can be.Whatever you do,do not isolate yourself.Try to find a good counselor.I really enjoy your videos,but they're not just entertaining,they are informative,and I like the way you put them together.I would send money to help support your channel,but I'm 67 years old and me and my wife are living on disability/social security.But keep up the good work and take care of yourself.
As always very educational, thank you.
Shit, I feel you man. My ex of 5 years and I brokeup right before Covid, and I'm still recovering from that myself. We'll make it through!

Thank you for mentioning that many wheelchair users can walk! I walk most of the time but need a wheelchair when my symptoms are at their worst and for long distances.
That is so shady it blows me away how people speak highly of this guy when he clearly was a con artist.
I empathize with coming out of a long term relationship being hard and hope you can get the help you need and find happiness. I love your content and you definitely helped me become a skeptic. Thank you!
Thank you for the encouragement. It's a journey, but I'm healing. Glad to hear I helped add some skeptical tools to your tool belt. :)
Nicely done. Coe’s response to the polio scandal reminds we of a certain someone of orangish complexion often seen in a red tie.
I'm so sorry about your relationship ending badly. I also just went through a relationship ending after that same length. 😢
I'm sorry for you're heartbreak. We will heal and come back stronger. 🫂
Dam! What am I doing wrong? How do I get my partner to break-up with me and leave?
Sorry to hear about the effect your previous relationship has had on you. It's always a real gut punch to put so much time and effort in to a relationship only to see it slip away. You are an incredible human being who has contributed to the betterment of humanity. You will recover from this and find the one that is truly your match. Thank YOU for all that you do and have given us over the years.
I love that you’ve passed a quarter of a million faithful!
😂👍🏻
You’ve done such amazing work.
Thanks!
This was a beautifully made video. Your content helps people understand, avoid, and escape these predators.
I recently lost faith in fundamental pentecostal christianity, thank you for your videos. :)
Finally I am free from fake feelings of guilt for "sins".
Last Sunday I visited church which I attended (only because of people, unfortunately I was christian 12 years and I have only 2 friends who are normal) and after that I went for a lunch with people from church, they talked approximately one hour about legen...stories about miracles of Smith Wigglesworth, Kuhlman and Bonnke. I was like them too, thinking that it would be possible for me to do same miracles if I pray enough. Unfortunately reality is different from that fantasy world. It brings only frustration and after death of near person depression. (sorry for bad English)
Big hugs, this is the first video of yours i came across, you definitely gained my subscription. I hope you the best with your depression.
Break ups are so very difficult. Allow yourself to feel the pain. And being depressed is normal. Let yourself cry, get angry and sleep. It's all part of the normal healing process. It will get better- slowly, but it does fade. One great thing to do is to force yourself to go for a walk in a serene area at least every other day. It's amazing how therapeutic walking is. Stop and notice the beauty of the trees or the song birds or the water or the squirrels. I learned some of this in therapy after a horrible breakup in my mid 20s. I spent the first 2 weeks on my sister's couch drinking tequila and smoking like 2 packs of Marlboroughs a day. I went down to 85lbs(I was only 105 to start. ) My family got me into therapy. I'd gone through many breakups b4 but that was a killer one. You will get through this. Unfortunately, this is a normal human experience in life. Most ppl have been through it. You're not alone!
as a former Sucker and Mark, I thank you for this video, and may it save people from the horrific religious abuse of my generation
So, According to Jack Coes last comment... It is because My Mom and Grandmother played Bridge weekly that made Jack Coe sick and die. "Kay" LOL! Excellent Video my dude! Hugs to you across the miles. Most of us understand that pain.
Oh man! I missed an opportunity for a joke there. "Here lies Jack Coe, weakened by sickness over card players, Polio finally got him."
Discovered your content recently when I watched all of your Bible History Fails videos. Ironically, your work has actually helped me get through a bad break up of my own. We were together two years, it came out of nowhere. She's Christian, I grew up that way but left in college. It's a deal breaker for her, and I was willing to try to essentially reconvert myself despite not believing at all. Your videos helped remind me why I don't believe, and you're so articulate in how you explain the sound logic and reason behind not basing you're entire fucking life and all your decisions on bronze age myths. So, thanks for helping me feel better about staying true to myself. Donated over Paypal, this is absolutely content worth paying for.
Stay strong and thanks for all your hard work.
Hi, Thomas. It's good to see you online again! I'm sorry that you've had to experience depression and the loss of a relationship. I know that can be extremely difficult, and it can totally deplete emotional resources.
You did a great job with this video. I'm still amazed at how many people allow themselves to be scammed by today's versions of Jack Coe. I guess desperate people will try to cling to whatever they can find that gives them even the slightest bit of hope. It's sad.
And thank you for adding your "teaser" into the video, too. Rather than go into detail, I'll just say you are looking great! I hope happiness and health will find their way to you. You certainly deserve it for all the positive contributions you make. I have been watching your videos for a long time - probably ever since you started making them in cartoon form way back when. They have helped me a lot.
God, I love your editing skills!😂 “Wololo”
As an old school fan of the original AoE, I couldn't resist throwing in the Wolololo man! 😜
Another great historical account and presentation! You are so valuable to humanity at this time with so many millions swept up in these kinds of faith healing pentecostal cult movements, and your in-depth expose's are done so well, and you present them so well, you must not let yourself be discouraged, because you are very needed. I hope you fully realize your own worth and have been able to come out of the 'slump' you experienced. Keep up the great work!
Sorry to hear about your breakup, keep your chin up mate. You channel and several others have helped me through the recent madness of dating a evangelical Christian women (which is now over). You are out here keeping us sane. Thank you.
Best video on the channel yet, I’m really happy to be a patron member
I have never donated to any RUclipsr nor signed up for Patreon.
However, I think you're more than worthy of support as I think your videos are worthy, thought provoking, and most of all fighting the religious charlatans and frauds. I hope my small donation will help. Thank you for your good work.
Thank you. It helps more than you know.
I’m so sorry about your breakup and ensuing deep depression. But you’re a smart guy. You will rebound. Your work is immensely important to us. Please don’t give up on us.
"If you're depressed, you're living in the past. If you're anxious, you're living in the future. If you're at peace, you're living in the present." - Lao Tzu
Good luck with your depression and your grieving over the relationship. It will pass and you will be strong again.
Wonderful video on this snake oil salesman.
Ahh more “religion” to support the idea all emotional failing is our own fault. Not at all the horrors in the wold around us.
How is one at peace watching the world like say the slaughter of wee children just going to school.
Well it appears I'm living all over the place. Past, present, and future
I love that!!!
WOW!! whata a nugget of very interesting mental health! THANKS; C.Cave!!! &-->H.K. U have helped me a lot also to be a living Exvangelical!!
Where in the Tao Te Ching did you read that?
Thank you very much. Since I found your channel a year or so ago I've loved all of your videos. I wish I could do more but currently between jobs. Keep up the great work!
I’m still a Patron, and seeing just how much research you include in your videos (damn, links galore!) means I don’t regret my support for you.
I hope you find the resources you need to find your way through this hard time, and we’ve been just waiting here for you to take that time as you need it. Thanks, Thomas. ❤
Thank you so much for understanding, and for your ongoing support! It means a lot to me that you and so many others here have been patient and supportive of me.
This video was the thirst trap we didn’t know we wanted until you gave it to us. 😂😂
Excellent video!
I'm sorry for what must feel a huge loss. I hope you can accept that depression lies to you, and that you're worthy of being loved.
It's not a replacement for therapy, but Psychology in Seattle has some really great videos that many people have found helpful for understanding relationships better.
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
It is thanks to your channel and the others like it that many people are waking up not only to these faith healer charlatans, but also realizing how they have been duped and lied to all their lives by the religious fraternity who parasite themselves on the vulnerable and the gullible. So glad you are overcoming your recent trials, and you MUST keep up this important work, a quarter of a million subscribers shows how needed it is!
Jack Coe's main misfortune was to be born about 70 years too early. If he was active now in Florida, I'm sure his tent would be packed every night, he'd be raking in much more money and DeSantis would ensure he had no problems with the local authorities.
sad but so very true!
I SO love the graphics in your videos. Make them not just informative, but entertaining.
This is the first time I have seen the origin story of a very modern and relevant evil. Thank you! ❤
Went to observe a faith-healing service last weekend. Watching that fraud tell a 12yo girl with MD that if she just believes strongly enough that she will be healed made me pretty upset. I can't wish enough bad things on someone who would do that.
Thank you for continuing this series. Faith healers harm so many people who need legitimate medical treatment!
Also, long term relationships can be difficult to come out of, and I feel for you. Just know there are MANY other people out there who will appreciate you for the awesome person you are. All the best to you!
Faith "healers" like Jack Coe are just greedy charlatans. They are the wolves in sheep's clothing, preying on ordinary Christian folk.
I wish I could help your current situation, but I love your work and appreciate the effort.
All the best from Australia.
Ok I came for the content but got a shirtless Thomas instead... and I'm definitely not upset about it 😉😉 Looking good my friend, keep up the amazing work. You are truly making a positive change out there ❤
So sorry about your breakup, those suck on another level. Your videos are amazing, keep it up!! ❤
If prayers worked we wouldn't need doctors and we'd all be rich
God, though can work through doctors.
Lots of awesome information and amazing editing. I can see how much effort you put into these videos. Thank you.
Thanks for all this man, sorry you're having a rough time. I will definitely try to support you when I can. I would love to see more content on William Branham!
Me too i would to see him do a video on him ,i was born and raise in a church who consider william marion branham as the voice of God and a prophet ,he still has millions of followers in my country of birth the Democratric republic of congo
@King Paul Joel Yes it's very sad there's still so many, especially in Africa since Branham was racist. Congrats on escaping!
Yes please!
Sorry to hear about your personal challenges. Glad to be able to support you.
I cannot believe this sh*t still goes on. It is 2023 for Zeus sake.
It is said by artists that the best work is done when you are under personal pressure.... This was an absolute blast. Loved every section of it. Keep up the hellova good work!!!! You made my morning.... Have a great day!!!
I appreciate so much the truths you tell, and I know how hard it can be to deal with depression, especially from a break-up. You are pretty amazing.
When Jack Coe went to the hospital, he was effectively asking doctors to "thwart the will of god." What filth.
"God" must be doing one hell of a face palm on this guy's post death legacy. He's like "I did everything in my power to make his death as ironic as possible and you all STILL think he was legit???"
That's the power of religious whitewashing.
Kenneth Copeland’s having a pacemaker cracks me up! He said that God told him to take the pacemaker “by faith.” What does that mean? The doctor installed it!
I wish I could support, I’m dealing with my own bout of depression and self-unaliving ideation, meaning I can’t work right now. But know I appreciate what you do, and the level of research and thoroughness in presenting is incredible. Hoping you’re able to get yourself into a healthier place. Do what you need to to take care of yourself.
First time I've seen you, this was a great video. Humor, good content and captivating! Will watch more for sure
Thanks for all the work that went into this video! And take care of yourself by doing more of what makes you happy! 💔➡️💖
Thank you for the support. I'm glad you liked the video.
This is the best analysis of "faith healers" I have seen. Coming from outside the USA I had never heard of Jack Coe, but was aware of the other shysters like Hinze, Roberts and others of Coe's contemporary's you mentioned. On watching this I was reminded of Mahatma Gandhi who, when asked in 1927 his views of Christianity, the common quote is "I like your Christ, but not your Christianity"...however, the full quote is oft left out..."I believe in the teachings of Christ, but you on the other side of the world do not, I read the Bible faithfully and see little in Christendom that those who profess faith pretend to see. The Christians above all others are seeking after wealth. Their aim is to be rich at the expense of their neighbors. They come among aliens to exploit them for their own good and cheat them to do so. Their prosperity is far more essential to them than the life, liberty, and happiness of others.
The Christians are the most warlike people". To realise that evangelicals still praise Coe (in the hope of emulating his wealth?) is sad and troubling.
Love your videos. I think it is good to expose these frauds.
Looking forward to more.
It's very hard not to believe in karma when hearing this guy's story. His son didn't learn from his mistake and died prematurely as well. 😮!
Thank you for all the hard work, hoping wellness comes your way!
Good old JC had something to say about this sort of thing.
"Physician, heal thyself."
Glad to see you back!
