Bethel is trying to protect its organization, over and above its congregants, even though they are a source of income and muscle. Yes, muscle: Bethel is very powerful politically in the Redding area, and use their power to bully and intimidate the community. Many people are afraid to oppose or criticize this “church,” because the blowback is often much more than “supernatural,” using tactics more akin to those used by gangsters. Or corporations ...

Freakin' hilarious! Shows their lack of faith. Better stay away from their church gatherings as well and have members electronically wire their contributions, lest they be exposed in more ways than one.

Finally making the sane balance between hopeful good vibes and science.

Yes this school has been accredited by the "National Repository of Official Superficial Bullshit."

narf, priceless eh

But going to the mega church in large numbers is recommended? Hope so.

Insanity

Ha! Can't make this stuff up!

Ah yes. The Faith Healers from Bethel by the River. Undergrads of the School of Supernatural Healing. They come from the world over to learn the ancient art of laying on of hands. And, as with any good college of Supernatural Learning, Bethel's has an externship in which the students go out into the city and approach strangers asking if they can lay hands upon them and cure their ills. And field trips to the hospitals where they can show doctors and medical personnel how healing is done.
But to the point - it does seem strange that if these potential graduates of the School of Supernatural Healing can heal you and I - but can not heal each other. Now it could be that they have not completed "Heal Each Other 101" and the faculty didn't want them to bring anything back to the school that would test the faculties ability to practice what they preach.

Litmus test! Litmus test!

Shouldn't that be the stress test they need to prove theor god is da bomb? I say go and kiss the infected ones with a really big wet kiss, don't worry, since your god made you a healer he will not allow anything to happen to you.

Speaks for itself, doesn't it..........

When I was into faith healing I couldn't even catch poison ivy. Today, well, not so much.

WHAT?!?! Tots and Pears don't work?!?!? What a bummer. lol

Jfc! Ffs!!
