I don't understand how any sane adult would actually give televangelists money. It's so shady.
Check out Kenyan Pst. Kanyari.
ReviewsTechNow I respect you for saying televangelist
Yeah even us Christians find it shadier than eminem
That's the problem there are no sane adult Christians. They all buy into the bull-shit one way or another. It's their ticket to heaven.
animus apertus but the true difference is that, if christianity is false, (or other religion, since all religion may be wrong, but not all religion may be true) then there is nothing. But if it is true, i'm sorry but unless we surrender ourselves to Christ, ( or if other religion is the truth, you get the point) we are bound to punishment. THAT is the biggest difference.
"sentenced to 45 years in prison, serving only 5"
Say whhhhaaaatttt.....
Narrator is an idiot & didn't do her homework - Jim Bakker was sentenced to 45 years, he appealed & won & was resentenced to 8 years & he served 5 of the 8 years.

I'm Kenyan, only 26 yrs, and I remember being 4 years old and our nanny used to tell me not to go too far off, while playing outside cause this Pastor Gilbert Deya, was busy stealing kids. That used to traumatize me so much. These ruthless people snatched children from families and hospitals and sold them to people who were looking for children
Sadly enough, I both remember and have documented the tragic rape of a little girl by a priest. She stated that as she was being raped that she "didn't know what was going on, only that I felt this terrible pain, and that I wanted to die..." After this tragedy, the priest said, "If you tell anyone, your parents will burn in hell..." Ultimately he was exposed, indited, and sentenced to prison. He died in prison less than a year later. Karma really visited this man- almost as if it had become sentient. But, what angered me about Jimmy swaggart was his asking the prostitute about her daughter? I mean, leave little kids out of the potential for the sexual act. Leave kids alone.
AHHH YAH ... CHRISTIAN FUKC FUKCERS FUKC FUKC FUKCER CATHOLIC PRIEST FUKCS ...
COKCSUCKER CATHOLIC CHURCH
Karma SAYS, HE NOW BRUNING IN HELL, RIGHT NOW. THIS VERY MINUTE.
I can't imagine if that happened to me. That poor baby.
Lies again? Motherless God
I knew Swaggart was low, but I hadn’t heard that he was that LOW.
I told my mum about a JW elder 'touching' me. Instead of getting the support a young kid needs from her mum, my mum called a load of elders around to our house (including the abuser) and they forced me to say that nothing happened and scared the life out of me - I was only 13 at the time. I left home at 16 and never seen my parents or the JW's since - I have never complained or mentioned this before as even now I tremble at what I went through those 28 years ago.
Wow!!! I'm sorry you went through that, thats terrible god bless you honey
@@kennethcole2330 Thank you xx
I'm so sorry. That's hard to even read, let alone you went through it. I hope you are living the life you deserve! You are brave!
@@kennedystarr8094 Thanks so much x. I believe I have coping better than most would have under the circumstances. I can't say my life is 100% normal but I'm married with a little boy :-) Also, Watching the Watchtower has enabled me to meet nurses people and discussing difficult things has helped for sure. Especially when I get lovely comments such as yours xxxx
I’m so sorry, maybe we were in the same church. Because families disown you thinking you’ll see the light but honestly it’s all manipulation. I could never disown my own kid no matter what tbh.
how to tell if a church is scamming you: ask yourself how many private jets they own. if the answer is more than zero, you’re being swindled.
The treatment of the poorest members is a more accurate way of detection. They have nothing to offer but faith and loyalty. If they are treated well, they practice what they preach. If they are looked down upon and gossiped about, they are only interested in your money.
Also run an Audit on their taxes.
if the church takes any amount of money from you, they are scamming you
Umm, your job as a member of a church is to *PRAISE the LORD.* That's it... no asking question. If the elders ask you to meet them in their office after hour alone without your parents, then you do as you are told... and then YOU PRAISE THE LORD... LMAO!!!
Fascinating video, yeah?
But did you know theres en entire branch of yt-channels covering, discussing, dissecting
and explaining Religion and it's Issues?

Because they're too weak-minded and they've been brainwashed to cling to their phony religions.
@@nickcopeland6915 exactly
Yes, they are people like this. But i know God is there.
It is called indoctrination.
Yeah all con artists all seem to lose everything except their money
I find it funny how Creflo Dollar gets called out for asking for one jet; meanwhile Kenneth Copeland has a fleet of jets and his own airport and asks for yet another private jet yet only a few bat an eye. 🤔
What does he do with them? Copeland, to me always looks on the verge of physically lashing out at the person questioning him.

That #7 about circumcisions was one of the most disgusting things I ever heard. What's the matter with these people. Wow.
My thoughts exactly! What parents would agree for the circumcisions to be performed in this way? Isn’t doing so basically sexual molestation? Also, what rabbi would do this and think it is okay? Just all around crazy!
Honestly, as an atheist, I'm completely fine with differing beliefs like Jesus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but when you force your beliefs upon others such as through murder, assault, blackmail, or even flat out genocide that's when I have a problem. Just welcome everybody with open arms and don't contradict the morals you're following. Praise be to whatever you believe in boys and girls.
Not really death itself, but the process before hand. It's not a hug anxiety to me....I'm more terrified of girls haha
Gnarwhal heheheh dis is so very berry giving me LIFE
The experience I guess. I'm not really sure of that myself, it's just one of those life mysteries that will never be solved in mortality.
I think there insane retarded old beliefs
Gnarwhal Cheers, fellow atheist! Honestly, I can understand when an atheist just can't take anymore of religious people's nagging. But they should remain calm. It's men and women like you that should be representing Atheism
I love how some of these ask for 60 million dollar jet yet Jesus walked to his destinations in sandals, probably barefoot, and would still preach and would not ask for money in return...
@Wee Mac I think you mean 2,000 year old TRUTH 😂 God bless you ❤️
He was buried in a borrowed grave. All his disciples followed Jesus christ.
These guys make me sick.
Their sin is shouted from the roof top. If most people knew what was really going on ,well I dont think they could handle it.
Their not telling you a tidbit of what is going on.
Start with the catholic church and all the babies and nuns and Christians they have killed. Yep, their in book if revelation, John saw it all.Their the great whore and all the others are harlots.

Prayer is for placebo.
@@alien3.056 Shhh, part of the reason it works is because they dont know its a placebo. Let them pray, it doesnt hurt anyone.

As an atheist, I actually feel really bad for all this. All these situations are about innocent people suffering on the hands of those they truly believed in. If there's hell, it's right here, it still happens and a lot of people will carry the scars of what happened to them.
Tiago Rodrigues Guerra "if there's hell" being an atheist, you'd believe there wasn't one. Lol.
I meant what I meant. No, I don't believe in afterlife planes of existence. Hell and Heaven are creations of religious base. I'm just playing with the word.

Jehova is a waymaker, a provider, a healer. I dont understand every bad thing that happens in this world, but I do know the preachers in this video are not doing Jehovas work or being lead by the holy spirit when they defraud others. They are working independently of Jehova. They will have to answer to Him about their works when they pass away
Those who take advantage of people's faith, kindness and hopes are disgusting.

Hi sandy
'Spotlight' was such an amazing movie. I absolutely loved how raw they depicted the scandal, and brought the attention to it that needed to be there. Those poor children... they will carry this with them the rest of their lives.

@@Heseesyou Uh....what? No offense lady but I think a god diatribe is the last thing those kids need right now. What a trigger it must be to even walk into a church. No. I'm sure you mean well, but if they hated the Church and everyone in it, I'd more than support them. I'd agree.
@@horrorchick793 don't go to church go to Jesus Christ.. you need a personal relationship with the living Christ not with religion that breeds lies.. when you have repented and forsaken your sin you'll meet God and he will give you his hy spirit if you are serious about his terms and conditions..

@@Heseesyou Again, sorry lady, you seem like you're coming from a good place in the heart, but I ain't buying it. I follow logic, reason, science.

Men who tell me I should bend to the will of my husband, be a submissive baby maker. Well, what if I don't have a husband, what if I have a wife? What if I take the morning after pill bc I don't WANT more kids? Oh, no!!! Burn her at the stake!!! Listen, my choices are mine, not theirs. You should try it, it's very freeing.

Every sinner gets mercy and forgiveness from God because Jesus died for all of us and through him, we are forgiven.
I've actually never heard of these scandals. It's crazy what happened.
I went to Eddie Long's church throughout my teen years in ATL. I am so glad I got out of that world. I was brainwashed for quite a while. Then I went extreme & moved across the country & became friends with free-thinking Earth-loving, tree-hugging hippies & never looked back
😂🌼🤗🌳
First of all no one can express or receive love or any other desired emotion in its entirety if you them they don't know themselves and I have never heard a hippie explaining how to become physically fit mentally sound spiritually balanced being able to express physical freedom which is key for one to start living up to the pleasure potential responsibility of femininity and masculinity. For only at this level of body awareness does one constantly consistently have the self control discipline loyalty devotion appreciation and respect confidence playful determination to validate confirm and signify that they are consciously aware physically able to participate in being true towards love honor and the creation of life. That is putting it very mild.

Televangelists in a nutshell.
I had to rewind that part
I'd love to see someone screaming that same rant at people in a parking lot
“You’re trying to get into the apartment. You have 1000 dollars. That’s nothing. You don’t have enough anyway. Send it to me.” Creflo Dollar
I was a single mom who had to make do with below poverty level income to support my children. I didn't have a way to get to church back then unless my friends would take me. I would practically sit in front of the tube watching Jimmy, Jim,Tammy,Dollar, and Tyson. LOL!!! My teenage daughter, and her friends found sheer entertainment watching some of these tele evangelists. They would laugh,and make coments thinking how ridiculous they were acting out to scam feeble minded so called "BELIVERS" out of their last dollar if they could. I didn't know what to think, and I was a bit confused, and on a guilt trip due to these "preachers," mandated you to tithe your last cent to them, or The Lord wouldn't BLESS you, and you would end up impoverished. I was comfused because this was my only connection with Church,and connecting with God, but, in hindsight I look back on it now, and have the satisfaction knowing that I was "selfish," and holding back on giving.. Money was tight back then.. I had mouths to feed, and we needed a roof over out heads! So, glad I didn't allow these avarice 🐺s in 🐑's clothing con me into parting with every red dollar WE NEEDED!!!! My kids, and their teen friends had more common sense than some older adults that gave their hard earned money, often the meager Social Security checks that provided for their survival.They urgently needed every last cent, so I do feel for these poor Seniors who depended on it to survive, eat, and buy life saving medication which they desparately was an essential for their health. It made a difference between life or death,and often had to go hungry, if the check did not cover a couple weeks until the next due check.They had to also choose between eating, or taking medication for pre-exsisting conditions. So, their check didn't cover all their life saving necessities. I can't imagine how some felt stressed out over not being able to tithe to these so called preachers, and breaking God's Laws if they wouldn't obey, and GIVE. One has to consider that many have mental limitations on their capacity to use cognitive reasoning, and sort things out in their minds to a logical conclusion. They just are not equipped with the mental faculties they once had in their prime. So, many prosperity preachers would use such elderly such as these to their adavantage. They used manipulation, and The Bible as a weapon to justify why one should tithe at least 10% of their income, or God wouldn't bless them, but give a curse instead. So, this was a scare tactic so the indigent elderly would release some cash. Some, who were better off would tithe a thousand dollars a shot on Sunday morning. The telethons were rampant. An 800 number would come on the television screen, and the preacher, and his back up henchmen would coach the viewers to call in and give to the number the TV Screen. Credit Card usually only. While viewers would call in.. ...there was a break fom the 🐺Preacher Promptings, or demands to go get your wallet... SOOOOooooo UH OH!!! THE MULTI-TALENTED PREACHER WOULD CROON, SING...CROON.. SING..

Oh, I am so sorry. It's hard to have someone fall off the pedestal. None of us are all one thing though. I think she did some good, some bad, and as she got older she got bitchier-which isn't that unusual in the ageing process. my point is she is not a Saint but a human being who didn't handle her so called power with grace.
Mother Teresa herself said she wasnt here to help anyone, she was here to bring people to Catholicism. It also didnt hurt that it paid extremely well
And we have Elite Indians who still admire her 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
His name is "Dollar"?
Seems legit.
More truth there than was meant to be!
@Martin luther Kennedy III oh and their teaching is about "prosperity Gospel", they teach that "you reap what you sow so you need to sew money", and that only way for people to get less poor is to pay their required tithe to their ministries.
If it ain't about a dolla I ain't about to holla

I've not finished yet, but I'm almost sure my childhood church is on there. Many of these people attended my old church as my pastor was an ArchBishop of international churches.
Thousands of First Nations children buried outside residential schools in a number of countries. No question the worst scandal ever.
“Spotlight” is a brilliant movie; it really nails how deep the scandal went (up to 90 priests in Boston alone, at least in the movie) and the tireless efforts of the reporters.

Yes, a very good movie shedding light on ugliness.
I met a W.V Pastor just like Oral Roberts😳
So many televangelist yell, point fingers, pound their fist, stomp their feet with anger knowing more drama means more money.
shy larno, you're right because their only concern is about their image! Not their so called sins. personally, I don't believe that gay people are perverts. Perverts are in a class of their own willing to have kinky sex with anyone. They're freaking scary...just like this guy.

Its the Bibble you read which leads to such crimes ,Eg Incest , Lying Etc .

Ahmed Deedat Vs Jimmy swegart .
Minus the Catholic stuff, That's pretty accurate.
So, stupid question, why was Ray Comfort in the intro and then not included and or explained esp. since this video is including those involved in scandals?
'I bet it was difficult to narrow it down to only 10 scandals.
My mom joined Creflo Dollars church in 1995 when I was 8yrs old. She's still a member to this day though we both love in Orlando. Never went to Bishop Eddie Long church but my mom almost put me in a summer program there when I was 12 but she said she had a bad feeling. I'm now 29 and don't believe in religion or go to church because it's just a scam to get money. My mother in law is a over zealous Christian who follows a pastor name Morris Cerullo. She follows that man around like a groupie but can't afford to pay for place to stay when she visits us lol.
RckerMom, Im happy you got out of it and hopefully the brainwashing ends with your generation. I was lucky cause my parents too saw it as a scam, so I grew up believing in science!
I hate prosperity preaching. It kind of defeats the entire purpose of actually being a Christian to me. When your salvation and blessing hinge SOLELY on giving to an over stuffed church asking for a private plane, then I highly doubt there's God in that church.
I can never trust these people who takes profit from religion.
Briane Rose not everybody is smart like us.
It's not a religion anymore. It becomes a big business. Million dollar business.

the scandals about people that some family and people use as let these be your role models, the ones sainted or treated as such, because so many people will either outright deny, make excuses for or never learn about.
I like how this particular video pointed out so many religious scandals, but why you included Ray Comfort, when he went through no scandalous situations, illudes me.
It is sad how people always use just the ending portion of the video, making the message incomplete by always leaving off the beginning of that clip with the soda can.
Was that small clip added only to make fun of him, like so many others have wrongfully done, or was there some other reason that you included that incomplete clip?
What scares me is that many of these people are using the name of the Holy Spirit for self promotion. I would hate to stand at the judgment before God, with such a charge upon me.

God is not human, so It can not judge. God is Love. Unconditional Love.

@@GirlYouDontKnow-rx3lm his argument is literally that a banana must have a creator because it fits in our hands and we can easily open it from the top. He compares it to a soda can and considers it proof that the banana has intelligent design, just like the soda can.
To be sure, that bit was done tongue in cheek. The way people have taken it so literally makes me worry for my fellow atheists.
Child abuse, sexual abuse, sexism, greed, lack of empathy, hatred disguised as love...behind the facade that’s all Christianity boils down to at its core.
These people have told lies, stole from people, destroyed lives and families to glorify themselves. How dare you and may god have mercy on you.
I believe that God does not endorse TV Evangelists.
They are 100% scammers.
I also believe TV Evangelists don't endorse God.
I believe that there is NO God....
I don’t believe in god but I believe atheists don’t go to hell, only people who do some really bad things or are pieces of crap and televangelists stay in purgatory and are purposely put on hold.

Sailor Barsoom A test for people. The same story in paradise where it was forbidden to eat the forbidden raft (which existed in the form of food and could be eaten) but Adam and Eve (peace be upon them) did not disobey and ate. Well, here we are, all on earth, and we need to restrain ourselves and obey the Creator at all costs, to get to paradise. And repent even for the smallest sins, about which we do not even know what we commit.
@@dilsherferuzov5084
I'm all for repentance. Repentance means that not only am I sorry for what I did, but I truly believe that what I did was wrong and that I will at least make an effort not to do it again. So yeah, repentance is great.

But when you spend week in week out year after year and standard in that church telling everyone that you must help people in need etc etc then when that times comes when people need your help it's kind of expected that you actually help.

Sierra Ball he did not have to open his church it’s not a law soooo I mean it’s not a scandal
Televangelists: Let's steal money!
Catholic Church: That's the worse thing a preacher can do to someone.
Religion makes you more immoral. Sitting alone with yourself, knowing what you are is much harder than sitting in a circle of people crying out loud that you denounce all your sins. These rituals are cathartic and provide great emotional release. It makes you more hypocritical.
When a religious person is a millionaire something stinks.
Same for political figures. If you’re making millions of dollars while “serving the people” or “serving god” then you’re most likely a piece of shit grifter.

Heyy
Sad but true
Absolutely loved it when Sheikh Ahmed Deedat smashed Jimmy Swaggart's false claims, misquotations and image of a televangelist.
"Why did you settle the case?"
"Because all of the allegations are true and I didn't want any more damaging information to come out."
As a Christian we have to follow Bible and Jesus, Not the preacher.
The bible says, trust no man.

Jimmy swagger
Robert Tilton should top the list. He started off on the right track back in the 80's, but morphed into a money making machine before being exposed in a television documentary.
He might be the most sought of them all due to Pastor Gas, aka Farting Preacher.
My mother's cousin died in the 90s when I was a kid and this got most my mother's side of the family to join a church. I remember being really nice to the head preacher and tried to talk to him when I was a kid and he scoffed at me and was really rude but was very happy to see my grandparents. They always wore nice suits and they drove luxury cars. I could see right through this shit ever since I was a little kid. All religions are false. God is the collective consciousness of all things.

No one knows if god exists or not, there are people like you who are 100% convinced that they know, but in reality, no one really knows. Its very funny to watch people like yourself lie to themselves like that.
Im sorry, but you really expect people to think that you hold the answer to the most important question mankind has ever asked?
Ive died for a little under a minute, and death felt exactly like how it felt before I existed, nothingness. There is no "you" to experience anything. Is that proof that the afterlife doesnt exist? Of course not. The brain does funny things when its about to die, billions of chemical reactions making a person experience hallucinations. But even so, I have the integrity to realize and proudly say that I dont know if god exists or not. You have no integrity, you lie to yourself and others about something you know absolutely nothing about.

I remember watching that "tearful" BS from JS. I laughed then and it's still funny now😂Before that I heard his voice every Sunday morning after that, never again.
These people give religious people such a bad name, that I can completely understand why people don't even bother to read the Bible. These people do not represent Christ. If you want to see what Christianity is supposed to look like, take the time to read the Gospels. Jesus Christ himself will show how a Christian is supposed to live ♥️
it says that you should be silent and submissive
@@raf4106 yeah? In what context?
@D jango the problem with raf's statement is that it's taking a specific verse in the biblical book 1 Timothy and is using it as a blanket statement. If one was to read any of the Gospels (which cover the life of Christ) it is clear that the people closest to Jesus constantly asked questions and in return Jesus answered them. The verse Raf was referring to is talking about order withing a church service. Like when a librarian tells someone to be quiet, it doesn't mean they are stop learning... Context is important.
I hope that helps 😊 if you (or anyone reading) have more questions please feel free to @ me
@@raf4106 Context is very important, my dear. You need to take the time to understand the literature before you can criticize it. You are no better than the people in this video if you ignore the context of scripture and manipulate it to suit your agenda.
@D jango typical christians. They don't know what they're talking because they hardly even read the bible. Priests and pastors brainwash them by twisting words written in the bible.
