If you haven't already, watch the 1972 documentary "Marjoe". Marjoe Gortner was a televangelist from about the age of 4. His name was created from "Mary" and "Joseph". He was brought up in a televangelist family and was taught the tricks of the trade from an early age. The cynicism of that family towards their audience is overwhelming.
Thanks Don! All telepreachers are scammers of course.GakuseiDon wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 1:42 amIf you haven't already, watch the 1972 documentary "Marjoe".

Even if you know that those telepreachers are scammers out to fleece people, your mind will still be blown by the documentary. And it was made in 1972! Unfortunately I can't find the whole thing on Youtube, but this is a 9 min clip from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-NwKD9laZw
(ETA) Here is Marjoe preaching as a child. He already knew he was acting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6TNu-yY4h4
