Do you know anyone who was scammed by a televangelist?

[BCRanger10]

I know a lot of people here think all religions are scams. However, I'm talking specifically about those televangelists whom most of us would agree are scammers; Joel Osteen, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, the aptly-named Creflo Dollar, among others.

The word scam is odd because televangelist ask for 'donations ' but never selling any material products that were damaged. Or "holy oil" that didn't do any ceremony.

Promising "nobody will get sick in exchange for a donation' seems like a scam but i only saw a rabbi try that, not christian, and if someone gets sick can they get donations back?

No but I have a cousin that was in the Moonies when he was younger. He was robbed of 4 years of his life.

[jamesgoldman]

No, they don't really platform them here, you'd have to go out and probably find them online

No. We don’t have such dirtbags here. 🤢

[BCRanger10]

Right but these people broadcast worldwide.

I have never seen such channels/broadcasts from our providers. It would be pointless anyway, the elderly people here, that are interested in church, don’t speak English.
