Showing Original Post only (View all)Pat Robertson tells mother: Your son’s stomach pains are caused by a witch ancestor [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/07/14/pat-robertson-tells-mother-your-sons-stomach-pains-are-caused-by-a-witch-ancestor/Televangelist Pat Robertson advised a mother on Monday that she could cure her sons stomach pains by finding someone to cast out demons that were possibly caused by an ancestor who practiced witchcraft.
In an email, a viewer named Dianne told the TV preacher that her son had painful shock-waves thru his body that originated in his stomach while she was praying for him and calling on the name of JESUS.
My son said it felt like something hit him very hard in the stomach, the mother wrote. I know this is not of God. He is a Christian. Can Christians be attacked by demons?
Instead of recommending that the mother seek medical attention, Robertson said that the boy could be oppressed or possessed by demons.
You need to get somebody with you who understands the spiritual dimension and doing spiritual warfare, he continued. If I were you, I would look back in your family. What in your family do you have anybody involved in the occult, somebody in witchcraft or tarot cards or psychic things?

OP
I think that if the mother looks long enough, the answer will be Pat Robertson.

Attention Pat Robertson: you are not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination.
