I saw christians on tv selling mail order "blessed water" with crying women, saying it healed their 10 lb stomach tumor, and one lady said she spilled it on herself and it made her paralysis go away. How dare you sell some BS like that and mess with people emotions while the rest of you christians sit back like a bunch of of pu$$yies and do nothing more than sit back and say "oh all of arent like that" you all may not be like that but you all do nothing about it. I though you were supposed to be good moral people?

If all of us Christians would stand behind the word of God then this wouldn't be an issue, I agree, don't you?? But the fact of the matter here is just because they are in a building that appears to be a church and are standing behind what appears to be a pulpit and are reading what appears to be a bible doesn't by any stretch of the imagination mean that they are doing God's work.. A lot of them are don't get me wrong.. Christians are Christ-like people that do God's work for no monetary gain.. When you see this just remember that Jesus did it for free, with love in his heart, not at a price, with money on his mind.. God bless you..

What precisely would you expect Christians to do? Sue the company? On what grounds? If you could sue every company that sold non products, there would be no late night TV (think of all of the get rich quick on real estate, or cash crate).
It is not illegal, although it is immoral. Everyone "knows" cash crate is a scam, but people keep signing up - you can't always protect everyone from themselves. There are many desperate people out there who will try anything, and others ready to part them with their money.
Unlike some other religions, Christians do not feel that a violent answer to those individuals is correct, but we would not purchase those goods, and would try to sway others from it.

We live in a country with freedom of speech, and I am thankful for that, but the down side is that people can go out and deceive others as these people do. Many Christians, myself included, are as much against this "garbage" as you are, but we don't really have any more control over it than you do. I trust that God will deal with these people in His time and way. I am sorry that the name of Christ is used to promote this sort of thing.

As a Christian I fight this type of thing all the time. It is just silly to lump all Christians into one type much the same as it would be to lump athiests into one type. Some athiests are bitter and angry, some agnostic, some are intellectual, etc... The biggest battle we have is against people who see all Christians the same way! My biggest problem is with the John Edwards and James Van Praagh's of the world, they are a detriment!

Sorry, I hardly ever watch TV, have never seen this, so not really sure how I could have condemned it. But I’m happy to condemn all the garbage on TV, including so called Christian healers.
Can we start a movement to get all the garbage off TV?

That stuff is the type of stuff I say is not Christian. The people selling that stuff were hypocrites and, though they say they are Christian, they are not. I do stand against other Christians all the time, though. There are many people who are Christian, yet I do not believe in what they believe. We do stand against each other. It happens all the time. Just look at what Protestants say about Catholics and what Catholics say about Protestants.

If I could go on tv and debunk all the fakes, I would. However, I do what I can by not supporting them in any way, shape, or form. It's unfortunate that those people choose to exploit the faith of others. However, I bet they will get what they deserve in the end.

How do you know it didn't cure them? I have seen many miraculous healing. I don't go out and buy all the stuff they sell on t.v. nor would I suggest that anyone else does, but, if the spirit calls them to act then I would say they should take the step out in faith.

I am a christian and I think most if not all of those people are bogus.
They are shiesters who are using religion as a means for financial gain.
I don't consider them "my kind". If I met them I would confront them on their scheme, but I have better things to do then hunt down all the fakes.
God will deal with them, just as he will deal with everyone else including me.
