Taking hope and capitalizing on them...
Isn't that what every single one of them "ministers" and their concerts of people being "healed" by shaking violently and flopping like a fish? They make millions off the gullible people and their broken hopes.
Heck, the whole world economy is based on screwing people over. Isnt that basically what "business" is? See who you can get the most amount of money out of any way possible. Ethics is a thing of the past it seems.
Its sad, but this Camping guy just did what thousands before him have done, and thousands after him will continue to do. As long as there is people with the IQ of a rock there will be people whose sole purpose is to take advantage of them.

I find it disgraceful that people took time out of their lives to mock an old man and his beliefs but don't have the cajones to stand up to the oppressing government that has a boot on their neck.
You don't agree with him fine, I don't either but does it give you satisfaction to kick a senile old man while he is down?
I hope you'all feel all tough and stuff.
Disgraceful.

Thanks for the pics, interesting it is what people will do, as for displaying outside his studio, its not harrassment, its free speech, and in due course freedom of religion, for the folks who were actually advertising thier own church.
The old guy has his own beliefs just like everyone else, and Im sure some christian/muslim/whatever somewhere will someday take it upon themselves to belittle my religion. Will I care- not a jot because my religion is what I believe, not what they believe. As it should be.
The only shame is that some of his congregation may have forsaken everything they have worked for because they blindly followed his belief. Its a shame, but its something they will have to deal with- people have ever let others think for them rather than thinking for themselves. If they do so, and lose it all, its thier own foolishness that caused it, not his.
Not defending him mind you-just dispensing a dose of reality.

That man conned millions out of "naive believers"
He should be in jail for Fraud.
Especially since he did it twice.
It's like those psychic phone lines...hmmm they were prosecuted for fraud.Why is it disgraceful to harass a con artist? He needs to return all that money to the people who sold all their possessions and gave the cash to him!edit on 22-5-2011 by ldyserenity because: spellingedit on 22-5-2011 by ldyserenity because: spelling againedit on 22-5-2011 by ldyserenity because: (no reason given)

Well it was still naive people who called the Psychic Friends Network, however they were sued and brought charges against.
Your poiint is moot.
They can still bring charges and lawsuits...happened in the past...there's plenty of legal precedent for it...edit on 22-5-2011 by ldyserenity because: (no reason given)
