      Mind you, I am a Christian man...however, people like "Apostle" David Taylor are doing the exact same thing. The only difference is that he hides behind The Cloth, which will eventually have detrimental consequences to the tens of thousands of churches that are truly doing good works in their respective communities.

    My parents sat me down every Sunday to watch 60 Minutes with them and at that young age was admittedly only passively interested in some stories, but occassionaly enthralled by others. It was a tradition throughout my upbringing and my parents always insisted that 60 Minutes was the gold standard for investigative journalism and ethics, and we all still believe that today. It ultimately had a major influence on my education and career. Thank you for standing up in the service of others.

    This is nuts. Both stories are jaw dropping. As someone who went through the beginning stages of the security clearance process, I can attest that I felt like a huge responsibility was being bestowed upon me, and I didn’t even end up finishing the clearance process because I didn’t get the job. I can’t even imagine going through my career with that kind of clearance and ever selling my integrity for any kind of money. It’s unfathomable.

      “I can’t believe people are so evil”. I find myself saying this more and more, isn’t it unbelievable, unfathomable, how some, how so MANY, humans can treat other human beings? Or comply or support it?
      I wish people who feel what you feel, and the people that don’t, could be easily identified. I don’t want to know people anymore who are ok with doing things that hurt others.
      The “faith in humanity” bit is overused, but it is crushing to think sometimes you hate your own kind and think the world would be better off without human beings.

    A shame there still isn't a cure for Lou Gehrig's. I never met my Grandpa because of it. He died when my father was just 15. I have a few pictures of him as his ALS progressed, he lost so much muscle mass. He was a military man, a pillar of the community and after he served his last military term, he became a railroad conductor and built his own house room-by-room as he could afford it. I wish I could have known him personally. My grandma wanted to take him to places that claimed to be able to help ALS but I think he had already accepted that it just wasn't going to do any good. It saddens me to see the man in this video break down crying when he mentioned that his idea was of hope for the con artist who claimed to be able to reverse it.

    When my daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 at 5 years old, after 2 brain surgeries having the tumor grow back bigger within 3 weeks both times and high dose radiation didn't work I got a message from this guy in Houston (at this time we were in houston from dallas) at MD Anderson getting chemo and he said he had a CBD oil-like formula that would shrink her tumors that was already growing on her motor nerve. For the 6 treatments he said would cure my daughter it was going to cost me roughly around $80k. Knowing I'm a single mom also taking care of my mom who also has cancer and other illnesses... He saw me as an easy target cause I was desperate to cure my child, being a single mom and doing this alone with no other adult helping me, he knew how vulnerable I was. I'm glad I cut him off immediately and haven't heard from him since.

    My sister and I have the same problems in our spines, and we have tried everything but back surgery. She told me that there was a new thing going around called stem cell treatment. She said she went and got one treatment and that she had to pay up front to have it done because her insurance wouldn't pay for it. Later on I asked how it was going and she just looked at me and said " I feel like I've been ripped off" It didn't work. later in that year she had back surgery. She still has problems with her spine and I see her getting worse every time I visit her. Oh and by the way, I wished she had watched this before she gave up all of her 401K retirement plan money that she could have lived the rest of her life on. Now she is broke and she's in pain everyday, stumped over and takes baby steps. She said, it's too hard to sit too hard to walk and finds it barely hard to lay down. I pray for her and I am sad, not only for her but for me too, because I'm right behind her in my wheelchair. So if there is anyone out there that is reading this, all I ask of you is to pray for us both. And if there is someone that comes along and reads this one day, thank you and God Bless you. With love and peace from Phoenix AZ.
