Televangelist sends a ‘refund’
Televangelist Peter Popoff’s ministry has reimbursed a Nanaimo woman after she went public with concerns about the fundraising techniques of the California-based church.
Josie Gurney, 58, almost threw away the envelope from the Vancouver branch of the Word for the World Ministries, thinking it was just another appeal for money from the parent organization.
But she looked inside the envelope and found a cheque for $69.08.
It arrived less than a month after Gurney went public with concerns about how Popoff’s ministry raises money by selling “holy water” and other religious artifacts.

Maybe all of the health/wealth crowd ill follow suit. I wonder if the water was checked if we would discover the water came out of the tap from California?
What do you think?

Dang it! And I forgot to send them anything! I have always wondered why when they send money and say, “Send us x amount and God will bless it two-fold” why they just didn’t send it to me and He would bless them? Reckon it doesn’t work that way though. And if he really wants some water that looks like it might have come from the Jordan tell him to come to Spencer, IN and get some of the flood waters.

Anyone who gets back into the “ministry” after what HE was caught doing ought never to be allowed back in. He might, however, make a pretty good POTUS.
We need one with that much gall.
