Have you ever observed a faith healer or faked a healing by one?

1 Answer

Answer :

About 20 or so years ago there was a “faith” healer on a local channel here. He would get people that were in wheelchairs and yank them out of the chair and proclaim they were healed. People would get up and say they had cancer and he would smack them on the back and something looking suspiciously like chicken liver would fly out of their mouth and they would faint. What made this worse was a man I worked with was one of the “catchers”, the guy that stood behind the fainters. He was an older man and I truly think he believed it all.
