All of the Scandals shocked us, my family members and me
You missed the Residential School of Canada where Indigenous children were ripped from their homes and placed in church run schools. Over 150 years the clergy, beat, abused, assaulted and experimented on children. Many of the Indigenous children were killed and buried in unmarked graves with no records. How in the world did this not make it into the list. The pope just apologised for this travesty in 2022.
Not a single one surprised me. Pastors are just people, who screw up like everyone else does.
@WatchMojo Top ten funniest moments from the pokemon anime.
When do we going to wake up and prosecute the Catholic Church for crimes against humanity
Just because you go to church every Sunday doesn’t make you a good person.
Sometimes the bad people hide in church!
True
@@kati1017 like wolves in sheep clothing
Criminal go to church : after done some criminal things to pray : please to forgive .....!😇
Absolutely true. Most the people in the church fake.
My grandmother was one of the people who gave away their money to Tilton. She was a widow and fighting cancer at the time. People who use religion to take advantage of others, are the worst.
Like 🦊s and 🦁s that where one swindles out or the other Keeps 🐺s at bay.
I am So sorry Man
Let me guess: She voted Democrat.
As my late aunt would say, for pastors like Tilton, in hell, there is a special place.
Tilton used to scream into the camera and ask people what they were waiting for. The real question was, what was ole Bob waiting for. The answer is that he was waiting for as many people that he could deceive, so that they would raid their piggy banks, and send in their biggest denominations of U.S. Currency, and get him to Millionaire Acres. Scoundrels, all of them!!!
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 7:15
Thank you so much for exposing these evil greedy people that are using God to profit for themselves and to hurt others.
SHAMELESS!!!
The fact that Peter Popoff is STILL out here peddling his spring water and people are STILL buying it is beyond me….
Well a fool and their money are easily parted
It's shit like that makes me glad I'm not religious. No problem with it but it leaves large blind spots in people's logic.
@@maliktp13 It's sad that it doesn't only happed to religious people.
@@tyrant1384 love that quote ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's NEVER going to end...
As a Christian I’m shocked and disgusted these people claim to know God and still do these horrible, appalling, shameful and evil acts
Jesus Christ isn't responsible for their behavior! It's their greed!
@@arthurgearheard4701 well said
Agreed. This is part of the reason why I’m not a Christian. Too much corruption.
With God, everything is permitted.
Me too. It makes me wonder why they chose to become pastors and evangelists in the first place when they commit such sinful acts.
My husbands grandmother would give her whole check every month. It was insane and his mother who was living with her couldn't stop her. Very sad
Now this Trump character has jumped on the bandwagon.
I was a Catholic who was raised by two generations of Catholics in my family, I went to a parochial grade school 1through 8, and served as an altar boy from fth grade though high school , I graduated from a Jesuit college and law school. In my teens I had the privilege of serving daily Mass with a priest on our trip through Europe including Masses at St, Peters on the main altar and two others, St. Peter's in Chains, the Duomo in Florence, St Marks in Venice, the Cathedral in Pisa, the Cathedral in Monaco and Several Masses in Notre Dame in Paris and in the Chuch of St. Catherine the Incorruptable to whom the Virgin Mary appeared and for whom Catherine created a medal in Her Honor. For years my faith was unwaivering until the scandals involving children and what is more horrific is the cover-up. This was not by a few, but many priests and their superoirs KNEW IT and just moved them to other parishes. My own parishes in two different towns separated by 40 miles each had a priest who was a child molester. I no longer support the
church. I will not donate money to subsidize child abuse or the people that condone it. There are some sins that cannot be forgiven
Of the 12 apostles, one was a traitor. Be wise like a fox, do not let the devil fool you.
The people in the church may be corrupted but the church itself can never be corrupted. Come home.
The realization of the cover up!
That's key!
@@thhdhn2 Yes, but Judas was ordained to do what he did. Those priests who molested children and the bishops and other officials that covered for them weren't part of any plan. Remember what Jesus said about innocent children and mill stones.
There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. Man may choose to not forgive another man's sin, because the sincerity and purity of the confession is not known to man. God, on the other hand, knows when the sinner is sincere in his confession and repentance, and will forgive ANY sin. But the sinner must be sincere in repenting.
NEVER give money to a televangelist. They don't need it, for one. And it won't guarantee your entry into heaven. It's sad that people actually believe that.
I completely agree only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can guarantee that
If they’re on tv (with their own show), they DO NOT need money
Its best to be good because it's feel good and know it help others. Not because someone else tell you.
They're trying to buy a ticket to heaven. 🤣
@@undrwatropium3724 only putting your faith in Jesus Christ and living like it from then on is a guaranteed trip to heaven. As Christians we are not perfect but that’s what true repentance is for ask forgiveness and do not repeat the sin. Now for me with the issue that I have, it is harder for me but I work daily and nightly to renew my mind in Christ so that I can be free of certain online content
One reason Swaggert fell so hard was because he publicly and viciously attacked Jim Bakker. Bakker was Jimmy's fiercest rival. The hypocrisy was palpable!
He also attacked Christian rock artists like Stryper who still to this day confess Jesus as savior. They also credit Swaggert for turning them to Christ
@@stevenrobertson3010 "HELLAHLUYA"!!!!!
This house is so divided. What does the bible say about that?
My husband would watch Jimmy Swaggert. I hoped it would change him because he had been involved in extra-maritals in our marriage. Then it came out Swaggert was also involved in extramarital affairs. Our marriage eventually came to an end.
Swaggert fell because he was prideful … and a pervert, who liked to watch. 😑☹️😑
My grandfather had the best saying: Everyone loves talking about the halos above their heads, but no one talks about the devil horns holding it up there.
the greatest irony in this video is because another Houston based television minister actually day one opened his church doors during hurricane Harvey. Dr. Ed Young of Second Baptist Church immediately responded opening up three campuses as shelters and the other two would open if needed.
Pastor Young was showing the true character of a godly man, whose life is devoted to The Lord, and to serving his fellow men and women in holy love.
I'm familiar with him. The younger son who also has a church I'm not so sure about?
Please they are all the same.
Guy that owned Mr Furniture stores did the same and brought in food.
More shocking to me than these videos, is that there are so many people that still follow and respect these monsters.
David did some bad things included murder.. but christians don't reject him?
They tickle the ears of greed and so many follow them.
There are many more charlatans that were not mentioned.
It's accepted cultism
Yep I call them people morons
I understand, but the sad fact is we were told there would be many false teachers, and they would lead many to destruction. I pray that those led astray by false doctrine manage to find their way out.
As a churchgoer, I am absolutely appalled at the audacity that these priests, pastors and ministers have. Thinking they could use religion as an excuse to take advantage of people, financially, sexually abuse minors and think they can get away with it. Are they stupid? Like everybody else, religious figures need to understand that actions have consequences.
Remove organised religion and practise your faith at home and these sick fucks don't have a chance to make cruel sick acts
That is exactly why they chose religion. Religious people are easy to manipulate. When a child goes to their parents and says pastor bob touched me, and the parents don't believe their own child because they're brainwashed by their pastor, That is exactly why these people Choose church. it's extremely sad How many people in church like yourself Trust people simply because they say that they're men of god
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the time when you're religious enough, there is absolutely no repercussions for what you do
@@melbaangel420 Sabbath is no longer for us to keep, otherwise we would ruin the 6th commandments, which says: DO NOT KILL!
Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
it is the sabbath or the 6th commandment. Cant have both.
Souls, know and understand the bible as we all should:
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The 2 most important commandments for us to keep TODAY are:
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:39
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
@@theharshtruthoutthere there's a whole lot of scriptures they completely contradict those as well. But if you knew your Bible well enough you would already know that
They are all wolves in sheep’s clothing. I shouldn’t be surprised! Thanks for this info!
It's all about the money.
All of it.
About 20 years ago I saw a movie based on the experiences of some of the girls imprisoned in the Magdalene laundries. It was so horrific and even more so when I realized that these girls were my age, the movie taking place in the late 60s, exactly when I was in high school.
One girls was in a catholic orphanage when a priest noticed her on the playground and decided that she was too pretty for her own good and she was forced to work in the laundry for several years before she was able to escape.
At the end there was a paragraph saying that the movie was based on true experiences and that once these young women were taken into a laundry many spent the rest of their lives there. And that the last one had closed in the mid 90s just a few years before the movie was made.
On the way out people in front of me me were complaining about "more catholic" bashing but later I saw a documentary with some of the women whose lives were portrayed in the movie and they seemed very believable.
People always defending and covering up religious actions make the problem much worse allowing is to grow.
The fact Robert Tilton still isn't behind bars is irritating
Shouldn't be in jail tho... He didn't do anything wrong outside of lying. Ppl were paying for something that isn't tangible. He had a scandal; not a situation where he broke the law, unless he didn't pay taxes
He didn’t steal so technically he did nothing illegally wrong
@@PancakeDiaries He claimed something cured a disease, that is a crime.
@@PancakeDiaries he was a con artist
@@MakotoKinoSailorJupiter2020 I know what he did... He lied to ppl who were coming for unrealistic results. I get it, but that's a mutual hustle
As a Muslim man, I’m embarrassed by this. It’s sickening that people use religion to take advantage of people. Very sad.
You should read and watch videos about the new martyr Daniel Sysoev. He was the polar opposite of all these wolves in sheep's clothing.
Indeed. It makes me sick. I hate it when people use religion to get away with their heinous actions. They need to know that karma will catch up to them and when they die they won’t be meeting a kind, smiling deity. Oh no they will be met with anger and disappointment.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 all these people do are prey on the people that are weak minded. The absolute worst kind of scum.
That is the literal HISTORY of religion! It was created to control and take advantage of people!!
As someone who thinks that there is merit in all religion and the existence of god is unknowable. I agree.
I always believed that religion is the best money game in this world
A giant pyramid scheme
Pastor Gino Jennings warns everybody for years but many of us would pay no attention of him. Thank you. Your video backed up all of Pastor Gino Jennings' claims.😊
I am genuinely speechless that you left out Native Americans and First Nations children in this list. These children were ripped from their families and were abused by missionaries with sexual, manual, physical and mental abuse, occurring mostly in church-run schools. The federal governments not only took away their culture and identities by cutting their hair, refusing to let them speak their native language, and changing their name to an English name, all in the name of "Christianizing" them. Theses schools run by missionaries that were funded by the federal governments, lasted from the 17th century to being mostly shut down in 2007 with roughly 9,500 attending. The abuses of the children were only discovered in the late 20th century. There are still hundreds of deceased children that have yet to be discovered. Those who have been are just now being returned to their Tribes for burial.
These children were taken from their families, land, and culture. They were forced to assimilate. They were abused and died. This went on by the hands of missionaries funded by the federal governments for 200+ years. Their bodies are just now, in the past couple of years, being returned for burial.
Like I said, I am genuinely speechless this was not included.
Maybe this was 21
Thank you for bringing it up! I am of Apache heritage, and I always find it kind of sad that stuff that happened to our people is always swept under the rug
*Whut is yawl tawkin' bout? Way Americans didn't do no uh sort! Clearly way is thuh fursd ones in thus continent! Way is thuh reeyul Americans!*
Jokes aside, yea... As someone with some interest in history. This part of American history basically never mentioned overseas and only those really curious can learn of this...
Please spread this message Dasi. It’s time Indigenous people get their voices heard to the unaware population of the truth from the mistreatment of the Native Americans & First Nations.
same here. im rather outraged they left this out.
As a former resident of the city of Lynchburg, I'm surprised that the scandal involving Jerry Falwell Jr and Liberty University isnt mentioned at all.
What's this have to look this up man never heard of it. Edit I know who he is got all of Jim and Tammy assets when old Jimmy got busted
Well....Jr had an excellent example to follow in his scandalous father!
To know it's not on the list means that it is getting worse out there!
@@blackholeentry3489 What did Falwell senior do that was scandalous?
@@larrysutliff9915 In a direct answer to your question, I cannot actually point to a specific answer.....however, he did appear on national TV alone on a stage somewhere, which I saw, appeared to have a breakdown for ALL to view, pleading, with tears streaming down his face..."Oh, Lord, Please Forgive ME for I Have Sinned!" (Most likely an extramarrital affair?)
While he never received a well deserved Oscar for his scandalous performance...To answer your question, my best guess would be, "Atrociously Poor & Amateur Acting!"
I'm certain you can "Google" it and read ALL about it.
BHE
When you do a sequel,be sure you include Josh Duggar and Bridget and Chridtian Zeigler!!😮😅
We need an updated version of this. There are so many newer religious scandals to choose from.
When Peter Popoff made his comeback, he did it on BET which is just sad and bizarre
Leon lush did a thing about him was absolute gold
He truly did ‘Pop Off’. 😏
Very bizarre, and sadly he got enough gullible black people to fall for his mess, his church would send my mom letters every week begging for donations.
Peter and Robert Tilton went to BET it’s the power of religion
@@Seibertz intelexual too she does great 80s content
Quite a few of these scandals occured in 1987, which was a big year for those events.
I see a range of dates in the 20th and 21st-century scandals.
Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like Satanic Panic had a hand in that.
Any surprise that it happened to occur at the height of Ronnie Raygun's presidency, and the (Im)Moral Majority?
Thank you for sharing
How is Ravi not on this list? That rocked me harder than just about anything ever has. Really helped to cement my resolve against trusting ANY high profile Christian figures.
You know, the Bible warned against the phoney crowd. Seriously, when did Jesus ever say: "I'll heal you but only if your faith is great and you give me money." These larger-than-life televangelists really unsettle me. Even considering how some cults always seem to require money to 'belong'. I sincerely believe that one of the greatest blasphemies is using the name of God for your own gain. It's shocking.
Although Jesus never asked for money he did state many times in his ministry that when he healed that person he would say, "Thy faith has made thee well."
I belive, If jesus could had his own tv show, at the beginning he would so his healing for free, but as soon he gets blinded by the fame and money that comes with it, he would als get a creedy person like all other tv preachers.
@@danieljimbo5804what are u saying!!! Idk if I should cry or laugh... He wasn't just a human being, He is the LORD Who existed from the beginning, even before the 🌎 was made
@@danieljimbo5804😂😂😂 what ??
The word of God calls him filthy Lucas exclamation mark I really believe but perhaps some of these people has fell into Satan's trap through their weaknesses and lust of the flesh. My true repentance before God brings Mercy and mercy brings forgiveness!!.... God be the judge!!!... it takes a man's man to confess his sin on national TV! Water embarrassment and a reproach and ashamed of that one individual. Lord forgive him if at all he has repented truthfully!! For the Bible says we have all sinned and come short from the glory of God and we will all stand before the Judgment seats of God. May we all repent and make things right with the Living God that sees and knows all things . For those that are evil and filthy Lucas God has their reward!!!
I remember Robert Tilton…he would always come on after weekday morning cartoons…that’s how I knew it was time to change the channel😂😂😂
Tyrone Magnus reaction videos loll
also Robert Tilton will forever be known as the farting preacher.
I remember "Last week With John Oliver" when he talked about that guy. STILL doing his scam.
@Kuntryboi1981 I just remember those videos of him making those puzzling facial expressions.. he left the doors wide open for the boot jokes.
Me too! Haha 😂
Great list!
There are many of these I didn't know about. At the time, I was shocked by Jimmy Swaggart. The scandal that was more recent and shocked me was about Ravi Zacharias.
A good friend of mine worked for Robert Tilton, doing sound. He and his coworker were putting in a new sound system, with fixing the mics, and such. People were not allowed to approach Tilton, without an appointment, no contact whatsoever. There was a thing going on to purchase several new van/bus vehicles, at a special price, and no one, including Tilton, was not suppose to be making a dime on it, which was stressed. One day, with the brand new mics still on, Tilton and the men involved in the purchase, ignoring my friend trying to tell them about the live mics still on them, kept walking away and talking. Both my friend and his coworker heard Tilton and then talking about how they were making all this money off the vehicle purchase. Obvious fraud,lies, etc. So my friend went to Tilton's office and told him he needed to speak to him about an urgent matter. He told him what they'd heard over the mics, and asked Tilton if he had anything to say about it. He didn't, and stood his ground,my friend pointing out what he'd heard,etc, still nothing, trying merely to sidestep and make BS excuses. No repentance, nothing. So my friend quit and left. IDK if anything further came of it, but I wasn't surprised. I'd warned my parents over years, about certain evangelist who I felt were deceiving people and had terrible sinful secrets themselves, but my parents refused to listen. Two of them were Jimmy Swagger and Jim Bakker. When they were exposed, I wasn't the least bit surprised. I didn't have any personal information on these guys, just a feeling in my heart and spirit, as to what was basically going on. I've often had to tell people, I told you so , unfortunately.
That feeling of heart and spirit you had is called discernment. Unfortunately your parents had none. God bless you for that (and your parents too, for their lack of it).
Religion is the problem
CHRISTIANITY IS NONSENSE!!!
My brother went to high school with Tilton. He told me he had scams going in school even then! All those guys are the ultimate of filth !!
@@sallyechavez8739 WRONG..!
One religious scandal that’s always overlooked is the Duplessis Orphans. Those unfortunate souls deserve to have their story told
I enjoyed it thoroughly great job, it didn't miss one. Mary Bowser worked in Jefferson Davis office giving information to the union army
The fact that many of these people are still successful, proves the old adage ‘A sucker is born every day’.
It is a sucker born every minute.. Which is much more accurate
Even though those scammers and con men are despicable, at some point, people should take responsibility for being SO STUPID!
"PET ROCKS"!!
Fool and their money
Yes, astonishing, even as a child I knew anybody selling God had to be a liar.
I’m a Christian. I used to watch Robert Tilton’s show to see if I could find any evidence he had any kind of ministry (feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, etc.) at all. He didn’t. Just continuously yelled for you to send all your money to him.
I bet he also said, "God told me this and God told me that!".
Superb Content!
oh please.
Many years ago, I was flipping channels, and I came across Robert Tipton. I watched for a few minutes. I started laughing. At that instant, Tipton opened his eyes, looked at the camera, and said, "Someone's laughing at me!" I was startled. Comedian Ron White had a similar experience. I could relate! 😆
I remember that Ron White was telling his story during the Blue Collar Comedy Tour! I recall that he said something along the lines about sitting naked eating Cheetos!
I have the strangest memory of Peter Popoff. I was watching Martin, and on came an ad for his Miracle Spring Water. That was the first time I’ve seen it and it’s one of the creepiest commercials I’ve ever seen
Yup! BET plays it nonstop especially early AM 1am-8am and especially if it’s Sunday. It’s so creepy. I don’t believe none of that.
The Peter Popoff scandal reminds me of an episode of Garfield and Friends where this Swami was using the same bit with the lady reading the contents of a person's wallet to make people believe that he can read minds!
Just because you're a pastor doesn't mean you aren't a sinner!!!😩😫🤦♀️🤷♀️🤭
Mathew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
But the true church of Mark 16: final verses, says that the gifts of the Spirit, after baptism, were SIGNS of their conversion to the Gospel of God Thru Christ. Those, He knew and they Him. Apparently, authority and the correct ordinances of salvation are missing from the "many" who professed and were to confess Christ/ianity in the future, before He returns. But somewhere that 'smaller' group of "his name" must exist, and does.
It blows my mind how gullible some people are!
Yes, but there before the grace of God goes all of us.
Jim and Tammy Baker. I was vacationing in the Orlando area at the time when the Bakers moved their TV ministry to Orlando. There were billboards which stated "Jim and Tammy, Go to Miami." I learned about where exactly where they had relocated and I just had to go see. It was a mostly abandoned strip mall which was overgrown with weeds, along with a small satellite dish. The phrase that immediately came to mind was "How the mighty have fallen."
how about sins declared "from the housetops"?
Kenneth Copeland, "Send us your month's this mortgage payment. God will repay you."
Was raised in a religious home, and it tore my family apart. Now none of us kids will deal with organized religion
Unless I missed it what wasn't Jim Jones mention & the mass suicide in Guyana.
Personally, I think the Jim jones tragedy would be in a whole different category. It certainly was much more than a “scandal “! It was mass murder!
@@jimschaefer7827
Ok thanks Jim.
That's a cult leader not a scandal
Missed the residential schools in Canada. They’ve been finding huge mass graves at former residential schools in Canada
And other countries
Yea
I guess there could be a lot more videos like this and and still not cover every one that’s ever happened. It’s sad.
Oui au canada irlande et en suisse
I'm convinced "Depart from me I never knew you" rings a bell.
Eagerly awaiting your documentary on the Muslim religion..!
I argue that Canadas residental school saga shouldve been on the list... those schools were run by churches of different faiths and tried to assimilate Native youth into white culture
Should have been #1. The fact that it wasn't on the list is disgusting.
Wait what. Surely its important for kids to learn bout different cu5
Happened in a America as well both of which the governments were also deeply involved with
Yep, I agree.
not only in this list, but number 1. period
It’s sad that even though they were caught and lost most of their audience. There are still some that stands by them 🙄
And how many of their audience came back after a while?
The idiots ones ....they don't want to se the truth
Not me. I know people can be forgiven and restored, but I just find it difficult to trust once the truth comes out. I won't send money to any TV ministries. Only my local church and legitimate ministries I know can be trusted. Ministries that are helping children and the poor, as well as giving them the true gospel. But they are small ministries that don't live rich lifestyles and are not on TV.
There are many naive people out there looking for something thats not there😢
Awesome
The fact that its top 20 and not top 10 speaks volumes.
Only 25% of the world's population is atheist, which, conversely, tells you that 75% are part of a religion. With numbers that large, they easily could have done a top hundred or thousand. It's just the nature of the beast.
And i can think of several more that were not addressed-Jim Jones, Bennie Hinn. Smh.
In this day and age, it is a mystery to me how people can still fall for the BS that is organized religion, let alone these scandals.
Jesus Christ is real; God is real. If He wasn’t, we wouldn’t have a counterfeit. There is no such thing as a counterfeit three dollar bill, because there’s no such thing as a real three dollar bill. But there are counterfeit Christs,
@@DougWilliams-mk5irdo you imagine that is a real argument? Can I make a counterfeit Spider-Man? Would that make him real?
@@broncojuan The bottom line is, there are more proofs to the existence of God than there are against His existence. You may not believe those proofs, and I can’t make you believe them. But one thing I can say is that, some day you will believe in Him. And unless you begin to seek Him and perhaps find Him, you will not find Him. But there’s a day coming when He will return and reveal Himself to His creation (you and me). You’re gonna believe then, and it will be too late.
Organized religion isnt the problem. It is sects of organized religion.
For examplw, look at the wider Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The 2 are the biggest non-governmental providers of global healthcare and charity work.
Peter Popoff with that damn waterrrr! 😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed hard every single time I seen the commercial. I’m like bruh u do know we can see u right? 😂
Hehe "damn" water 😂
What is worrying is how many people follow them and hang onto their every word.
Yes! This video NEEDS TO be 'required viewing' in late high school.
Thank you as always, WM!
😂 I agree, and not to put down religion, but to show some spectrum of crazy out there and caution young people to make good decisions.
Isn't it funny that churches were historically considered safe places with a community to share wisdom like this with the next generation? The irony...
lol kids don't know the difference between boys and girls.. this woukd be a waste we are waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy down the rabit hole.
This is one of the few WatchMojo lists that I can agree with.
Same
Yes! Same here! 🙋♀️
Imagine a real certified county/state judge finding you not guilty but the university still wants investigating. He should sue them rather they let him back or not. That’s very unethical
“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matt 7:23
I worked for a contractor in a bank vault opening Tilton's prayer letters to pull money, checks, wedding bands, etc. We were told to throw the prayer cloths and little packets of powdered milk in the 50-gallon drum next to the table. The stacks of money from just me each day were astounding. Any jewelry was discarded as it would cost too much to convert to cash. My fingers bled from the dryness and reaching into each letter (the machine automatically cut the top off, which is why powdered milk often went everywhere). I lasted a week and only that long because I needed rent money and time to find another contracting agency. They told me they would never place me again, and I told them I would never work for them again. For years they tried to walk it back, but I eventually got into tech and moved out of Oklahoma.
‘Airlines’ don’t fly my schedule.’ 🤣🤣🤣 And people gives money to those clowns flying private! 😂
Hello and i have been touching lives with the love of God n the Gospel of reconciliation throughout the world since 1979
18000 people thought that God would double their money. Love it !!! Hallelujah 😇
It sucks when people gives a group of people a bad name.
My father used to try and force me to go to Church as a kid.
Put my foot down when I was a teenager and never looked back. People/ scandals like this only solidify my choice.
I’m not trying to insult anybody that does go frequently or anything but I believe you should believe in yourself first and foremost
I did the same. Flat out refused to go. The pastor from the catholic school/church I was forced to attend(through 5th grade), was recently arrested for stealing $450,000 to pay his gambling debts. There’s nothing they can teach me about morality. 🤣😂
I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I can tell you those kind of people are not true Christians. If they were, they wouldn’t have forced it on you. Genuine Christians are welcoming and inviting, not forceful and aggressive. God does say to tithe 10% of your monetary earnings to the church, but I don’t think he’ll condemn you if you can’t afford to.
Anyways, again, sorry for your experiences. Those people who did that to you, they’re probably not NOT Christians, but they’re very misguided.
Facts, my dad was a pastor, so I grew up in church and was forced to go. I even gave it a real shit at 18 and man it was the worst. Everyone just kisses the pastors ass, wants a title and the youth leaders prey on the young girls. Shit was crazy I finally dipped in 2012 and best decision I made. Religion just ain't got me man too many rules and shit 😂
I've always felt that if you need a religion to tell you how to be a good person, you're doing life wrong anyway.

The "real" christians you refer to are VERY rare, if they even exist. Incidentally, why would any rational person in 2022, trusts individuals who worship a fictional omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and..... OMNI ludicrous daddy in the sky???
Religion does far more harm than good. History proves this.
go Spartans!
Whenever I see any of these frauds claiming they have a hot line to God I always remember, " Beware of false prophet's".
There's no stopping those guys.
Just because people figure out a couple of their tricks, doesn't mean their followers stop coming.

I honestly wonder how that circumcision ritual can NOT be called child abuse. I was utterly horrified to learn that a grown man is allowed or even expected to do that to a baby. It is sick and disgusting in the extreme, and no sane, loving parent would ever allow ANY adult to do that to their child! I do not care how ancient, revered, etc. this kind of thing is. It should be OUTLAWED forever!
@ferociousgumby That's the synagogue of Satan for you.
Prosecuted for sure.
Hi, circumcision was part of the Law of Moses. When Jesus Christ healed a man on the Sabbath day, the party that belonged to the Pharisees accused Him of breaking the Sabbath according to their interpretation of it. Jesus told them that they circumcised a new born baby boy on the Sabbath so that they may not break the Law of Moses, though it wasn't Moses who started it but their ancestors. So, at that particular point in time, circumcision was lawful as it was enshrined within the Mosaic Law. But Jesus Christ died to free us from the Law of Moses (Colossians 2:16-17). The Apostle Paul writes in his epistle that circumcision or non circumcision isn't important what matters is keeping the Commandments of God (1 Corinthians 7:19).
They shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts.
😮 I didn’t know any of that about Mother Teresa. I’ve only ever heard about all the “good” things she did. Goes to show that even those we admire and respect aren’t always “good”.
Not everyone did....they knew the truth. As an african american it was very known to us for that fact she was extremely racist and didnt try to hide it even around those populations others assumed would be the center of her kindness. Not so unfortunately....
Brandon please read a short, concise but extremely important book on the so called mother, it’s called The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice by Christopher Hitchens.
Hitchens spend a great deal of time digging information on the so called saint, and traveling to Calcutta to personally examine her centers and how she cared for the dying etc.
You’ll never look at this woman the same way again, guarantee.
@@AFMMarcelDChristopher Hitchens does not believe in God. Is that only source of your condemnation of Mother Theresa. Ask one question. Where is evidence of self aggrandizement of Mother Theresa. How “lavish” did she live. Lacking that …what was in it for her?? Doesn’t appear to be anything. This appears to be an evil attack on her and her order.
How anyone could still believe in religion is beyond me. 🙄
It's not about religion or faith, these are people who want to take advantage of it to make money and luxuries.
Amen
Faith is a matter between a person and whatever they believe. Religion is a construct of man to control others.
@@larry01902 Who controls others?
@@andresmatos2262 what do you think the church runs on lmao
Mother Teresa made me so damned mad. She was supposed to be so good and such a role model and there she was abusing the sick and poor for the "good of the church". It's amazing how she got great medical care while her patients laid dying in filth.
She also hated black people
so true she was far from a saint
Meh... money and keeping money rules all.
She did it for clout. Her "hospitals" were a joke
Yes I also heard that when she flew she insisted on flying first class
i like Jessica Hahn from the Jim Bakker scandal...in that Sam Kinison "Wild thing" video lol
I was abused by a boy scout leader. A great man the church said
I live about 20 minutes from Earl Paulk's old church. It's called Greater Travelers Rest now. Several movies and tv shows have been filmed there. The street it on, Flat Shoals Pkwy, had just been renamed for Earl Paulk Pkwy, right before the sonphew story broke. They snatched his name right back off that street.
Jim Bakker now makes millions from selling dooms day nachos in a bucket.
They should've kept him locked up in a looney bin
He is selling those buckets for $3,000 a piece there is a special place in hell reserved for him
Though I don't attend church I still have an active prayer life with Christ I remember the words of a preacher long ago don't throw the baby out with the bathwater
Bwahaha🤣!! Doomsday nachos in a bucket!! He’s gonna lead people to the throne one way or another! Haha!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting video, but the sound editing (volume between clips) needs improvement.
This is why I became a buddhist.☸
The Jimmy Swaggart Scandal inspired a song by Ozzy Osbourne. That song is called Miracle Man.
Great song!
You had featured the Banco Ambrosiano scandal as an Honorable Mention on your old Top 10 Religious Scandals. Finally you explained about it on this Top 20 video
After watching Happy Shiny People the IBLP can now be added to this
Can you do one on public school scandals next?
Private school scandals are even worse.
@@chevingladden5146 they're both bad,a video talking about both would be good too
I am a born-again Christian, who is light years away from perfect. It always hurts my heart to see these kind of videos, but I have to say, THANK YOU for doing this with class and objectivity. It’s so easy to throw the baby out with the bathwater in these types of videos.
GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER, GOD BLESS YOU..LET'S KEEP LIVING FOR GOD WE ARE GETTING BETTER IN GOD THROUGH HIS WORD..HALLELUJAH
@nsikandominicrobinson1092 AMEN!!!
Amen.
Just realize that these guys first go after the money.
When they get all of that.....they go after the soul.
And not for God.....for themselves.
I remember Jimmy Swagger back in the 1980's because there was a popular TV show at the time with the 'BassMaster' by the name of, also, Jimmy Swagger.
As a Christian, I've seen tons and tons of sketchy things that people have gotten involved in but I have to think, the whole "prosperity" gospel scheme has to be among the worst. There is not a lot anyone can do that is worse than that and the sex scandals... It's awful to know many have been tricked and swindled out of their money and their faith.
Robert Tilton will always be most remembered as "The Farting Preacher." 🤣
"The Eyes of Tammy Faye" was put together well! Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain were excellent in their roles!
People make mistakes and the Devil is out to destroy who he can. God will take care of his own.
No mistakes in these stories only greed.
Why does 2:13 remind me of Fletch Lives? The only thing missing is the mooning part.
In regards to the so called "Prosperity Gospel", no amount of money can save a person's soul. Anyone who tries to preach differently is not acting out of goodwill or faith in God. Salvation comes from God alone, not a checkbook.
Reminds me very much of the Church of Scientology.
I'm disgusted at the Catholic church for not taking responsibility. Babies were used in medical tests without consent and 796 bodies of babies were discovered in a mass grave, some at the site of a disused septic tank. Disgusting. Makes me so angry. Those nuns came two my great grandmothers house when her husband died saying she can't look after her children by herself, good woman chased those witches from her porch with a frying pan in her hand.
The United States government should be on the list.
The reds anyway. But I also know that there are perverts on the left also

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
