So sad, because there is so many that believes in it. On other note, what’s the ratio to ratio on prayer absorption and urine absorption? Also do they come in white?

Sometime in the 1950s my aunt bought a “Prayer” Handkerchief from Oral Roberts with his “sweat” on it, for her father, my grandfather.
He had a small blood clot in his left leg so Oral said to place it on his leg and he would be a new man!My grandfather became a new man that week.
Lost BOTH of his legs above the knee and ended up with TWO wooden legs. Hmmmmmmm

Yeah, talk about a SHAM! But it’s become that tacky with miracle manna, miracle spring water, Peter Popoff and Don Stewart, the late night sham wow false faith healers.
I believe “Vince” and Billy Mays are going to become the next Rick Warren and Bill Hybels in religious infomercial shams.

You should be so bold as to put this in Charisma. But they’d charge you 500 bucks or more for the ad. But Elijah List would charge you 1000 bucks!

I appreciate the parody. However, why the poke at Messianic Jews? I happen to be one.

No poke at Messianic Jews in any sense, Manuel. It is a nod to the fact that these religious charlatans are trying to legitimize what they are doing by tying it in with anything connected to the Holy Lands and Israel. For example, they create “authentic” holy water by getting it from the Jordan River. The idea, then, is that Messianic Jews from Israel are the most holy of all Christians because of their proximity to Biblical history, and that’s what gives their “prayer cloth” real power. Do you see what I’m saying? There is absolutely no criticism of Messianic Jews in this parody.

Though this is ad was/is satire.
(i was also going to ask about the Messianic Jews, but thanks to God, yall already answered that.)
It bothers me greatly, that you make a mess of communion in this satire. and that you would also dare put anything having to do with communion right next to pet urine, even after you made a mess of it. Hello, Jesus died!
And when you speak of His blood jokingly to try to get a different point across, it causes much shock and sorrow: Knowing we are so close to death and hell, that it was only His death (and resurrection?) that has saved us, i would suggest you have fear of the Lord when you speak of the blood that hath washed away your sins.
