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. -

The sad truth is that it takes a good measure of “inside information” & creative intelligence to create such a diabolically twisted, disrespectful & juvenile display. Whomever wrote this has seen some truth and turned from it (in order to mock it) The spirit of something other than Godliness loves to poke fun at the very things that are used to PRAISE GOD and PROTECT US! Our weapons of war are our arsenal against the wickedness in this world. Faith, prayer, surrender to God in humbling acts of service and symbolism, I stand up for God (not that He needs me too) But whomever might not have that close union with Him (reading this) they do.
I throw a fleece covering this post and I say strong prayers of deliverance over “x” whom created such a thing as this. In Jesus precious name and through the power given me by the Holy Spirit I bind and rebuke you; I command thee to come out of that person this instant, thou are forbidden to remain here on earth and sentenced to return to your source from wherever you creep.
I say prayers of gratefulness and great blessing, to find such a thing as this while surfing only to discover a Christian Sister or Brother who came here before me and decided to speak up! God Bless you and I will meet you in Heaven one day! I pray for blessings of strong FAITH and PEACE in and over your life!

Some people need to get a grip.
There is no mention of Jesu’s blood – only of wine spilled on the floor.
This is wonderful satire, and my only complaint is that for some reason it didn’t end up in my in-box!
