Bullshitting people about their dead relatives while taking their money is not mixed, it is a scam pure and simple.
She was a charlatan and a fraud who bilked people. No redeeming value.
And telling people their missing children are dead (with no real knowledge of the situation ) is beyond reprehensible. (especially when they turned out to be alive)
Good riddance.

So her church is not a church because it is a money-making venture? Act_of_Reparation Nov 2013 #19
You evidently didn't bother to follow and read the links. The church website contains struggle4progress Nov 2013 #20
Is it your claim that any church website that has links to profit-making ventures... trotsky Nov 2013 #21

We can probably agree you're unlikely ever to do more than caricature my views struggle4progress Nov 2013 #44
