Agree with briangs, and Ms Prism, sleaze is sleaze. Beware of false prophets...and televangelists !

More on Kenneth Copeland:

Yes. I can empathize. This man is a sociopath. These televangelists are the lowest and are true sociopaths. They only care about their well being and the mighty dollar and manipulate people into shelling out their money - just to be "saved" and in their favor. They also preach Calvinistic beliefs which state that they will be "rich" as long as they believe and donate money. They are also tax exempt entities! Organized religion is an evil entity. That's why you had a bad feeling and sensed sleaze. It is sleaze.

I have never been in a relationship with a "bad" woman. I don't know if a 6th sense simply keep me away from them but I have to observe my target behavior for several minutes before I go in. Is my "lonely hunter attitude". Guys who are not in the level, got to be discarded because they will get you in trouble. Never has I gotten in trouble for somebody else's doing. As young I was very streetsmart. Now days I may have no idea but my biggest issue is the lady I am talking to not been a lady all her life. So I don't mind asking the question Straight Up even if under penalty of making an ass of myself. I will take care of Number One.

Oh yes. I'll even go for the nuclear option here and specify a case that will be of particular import to the subject of religion.

The father of my ex-wife, who is Filipino and very Catholic, would not let me marry his daughter until we had the blessing of a local priest. I set aside my own personal objection to such silliness in the interest of marrying this woman, since it didn't really matter to me. My ex chose the only Filipino priest in our area, a Father Ysrael Bien, who was serving in the local community as a sort of residency. I knew from the get-go that this fellow was no good in less than five minutes of conversation.

He denied the blessing on the grounds that I was not a practicing Catholic and therefore could not obtain the "majesty of Christ," as he put it. I'm sure he meant that as an attempt to get me to convert. Nonetheless it was a morality-based judgment that insulted me greatly.

We ended up obtaining blessing in the Philippines by another priest local to my wife's family. The new priest was an affable fellow with no qualms as long as I would be willing to donate a decent financial sum to his parish. It was enough to satisfy my ex's father.

Here's where it gets interesting. Just a couple years ago my aunt (who is also Catholic, and attended Father Ysreal's church) told me about a scandal in the parish.

Here's the story of Father Ysreal Bien, the smug son of a gun who denied blessing my marriage on supposed moral grounds:

Creepy, eh?

you can't do what he does for a living and be a good person. he's a worm.

I'm a very bad judge on picking up the signs of a sleazy person. Or an abuser. I used to think everyone had good intentions. I was wrong to think that. I now question everyone who I don't know, in person whom talks to me.

I sometimes get such vibes from people, both good and bad. I took a course in non-verbal communication and learned that we notice things subconsciously that we are not even aware of. something as un-noticeable as muscle tension in someone's leg can tell us things about that person. It is amazing what we can see, and not consciously see or understand.

A supervisor at one of my old jobs rubbed me the wrong way from the first moment.....and didn't stop doing so until he was forced to resign on account of sexual harassment.

It's rare I feel it, but I get that vibe sometimes. One time I remember was a priest at my grandmother's funeral, and the other time I remember is a friend's husband. I can tell you my instinct turned out to be right with the friend's husband. The priest was a one time passing. All I did was walk past him and look in his eyes. The feeling might not always be right, but I think it might be accurate most times.

I don't get star struck. I look up to who I choose to but not because they're famous. no one is better than me period. I think Matt Damon is a slimy fucker and as for Trump or Paris Hilton can't stand them.

Well I did Google him. He is a televangelist. Not surprising at all.

Thats the way I felt about my ex's band manager when we were sued for breaking his contract. He had set a tour up with Aerosmith to have Mantis be their new opening act on their Japan tour in 1993.. It all went south, Zach Nillson (harry's son and my friend) left the band and the next manager was even sleazier with a cocaine habit. Two sleazeballs in the music business

Of course. One must be either perennially distracted by glittering objects or totally insensitive to outside signals to not have these feelings about some people. Another important ingredient to this form of awareness is the ability to think critically and an inbuilt skepticism.
