Peter is back on TV 5/2010 Shame on you. Everyone call him and let him know he’s a turd who robbed many in millions of the poor, weak, elderly, handicapped or sick. There is no excuse for him not being behind bars and let the prisoners show him a miracle.

His wife “Hello Petey if you can’t here me you’re in trouble” she needs to go too!!
This is the core of christianity, which is the illusion of false hope. Whether it be the television evangelist or the preacher down the street; their business is the same con game and people love con games.
@LaughatNAZIs, If it wasn’t for the mainstream Christians Popoff wouldn’t haven an audience. It took a huge industry that begins working on people when they are still young children to ingrain that kind of magical thinking. It takes convincing people that they are inherently broken and can only be fixed by a magical creature. That was the real crime here. Popoff is just a parasite exploiting a wound created by others much filthier than he. You’re going after the symptom, not the disease.
@mikedrenew, I can’t think of anything more immoral than suggesting that someone else could be punished for my sins.
Doesn’t it say something nasty about people who would endorse such an idea? How morally bankrupt and criminally irresponsible does a person have to be to want to be forgiven at all? Decent humans want the opportunity to redress their mistakes. Only a filthy scumbag wants to be completely excused of their responsibilities in life. There is no morality in religion. Just fraud.
What a bunch of reprehensible parasites these bastards are.
Almost makes you wish there really were a god and hell. There’d be a special corner for these amoral predators.
Over the years we have all been lied to by many false Religous Leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker please visit the web site which is displayed in our user name and take the time to read some of the articles… You will be very shocked.
There is a great audio there for you to listen to. You will come away asking many questions.
Blessings
Thanks Ben
there will come false prophets and people betraying us, because of money and lusts, but do not let it harden your heart against Jesus. god loves you and Jesus is the only way to get into an image of god and to see him one day.
this man praises science. science will fade away, but god will last forever
popoff is a scam artist and he is no better than Benny Hinn, Jospeh Smith or the many other false prophets that have roamed the earth. Be aware of false prophets people. If you feel the desire in your heart to give to a good cause, give to a local food bank or homeless shelter, buy food for the homeless, just don’t give your money to a greedy tv preacher.
Ripoffs - Scams Unfortunately, as we hear every single day, being smart is NOT enough to protect yourself from dangerous Internet scams, frustrating spam, or devious identity theft
Top 10 Scams and Rip-Offs 1.Scams
and Rip-Offs} Acai Supplements and Other “Free” Trial
Offers – Ads offering trial offers for teeth whiteners, acai
anti-aging pills and other miracle supplements blanket the Internet,
including trusted Web sites of national news organizations. The
marketing campaigns often falsely claimed an endorsement by Oprah,
Rachel Ray and Doctor Oz. Thousands of consumers complained to BBB
that the free trial actually cost them as much as hundreds of
dollars, month after month.
2.Scams and Rip-Offs}
Stimulus/Government Grant Scams – Even before President Obama
announced the stimulus plan in February, scammers had already set up
schemes for misleading consumers and small business owners into
thinking they could get a piece of the pie. Offers for worthless
assistance and advice on how to get government grants bombarded
consumers online, over the phone and via mail and e-mail.
3.Scams and Rip-Offs} Robocalls
– Owning a cell phone or having their phone number on the
do-not-call list did not help thousands of people across the US put
a stop to harassing automated telemarketing calls in 2009. The
robocalls often claimed that their auto warranty was about to
expire—which wasn’t true—or offered help in reducing their interest
rate on their credit card. The prevalence of robocalls violating
federal telemarketing laws prompted the FTC to increase restrictions
on the practice in 2009.
4.Scams and Rip-Offs}
Lottery/Sweepstakes Scam – The victim receives a letter in the mail
pretending to be from Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Clearing House or
a phony foreign lottery claiming that he or she has won millions.
The letter comes with a check that represents only a portion of the
total winnings. In order to get the rest, the victim has to deposit
the check and then wire hundreds of dollars back to the scammers
supposedly to cover taxes or some other bogus fee. The victim wires
the money, but the prize never arrives.
5.Scams and Rip-Offs} Job Hunter
Scams –Scams targeting job hunters vary and include attempts to gain
access to personal information such as bank account or social
security numbers and requirements to pay a fee in order to even be
considered for the job. Another common scam was reported to BBB by
job hunters who were told by a prospective employer that they had to
check their credit report before being considered for a job. The job
offer is actually a marketing ploy for online credit monitoring that
costs the victim every month until they cancel.
6.Scams and Rip-Offs} Google
Work from Home Scam – Countless Web sites cropped up in 2009 that
claimed you could learn how to make money from home using Google or
Twitter and offered a free trial of learning materials. The Web
sites often included the Google or Twitter moniker and logo. As a
result, many people who complained to BBB thought they were getting
a job with Google or Twitter when in, fact, they were being lured
into another misleading free-trial offer and were billed every month
for the materials and other mystery charges that added up to
hundreds of dollars.
7.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mortgage
Foreclosure Rescue/Debt Assistance – Many families are struggling in
the current economy and hucksters are offering to help them save
their house from foreclosure or help them get out of credit card
debt. Unfortunately, victims are paying hundreds of dollars up front
for the assistance they desperately need but ultimately never
receive.
8.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mystery
Shopping – Consumers across the country thought that they could make
some extra money by becoming a secret shopper and evaluating the
customer service of various stores. The victim is asked to evaluate
their shopping experience at a few stores as well as a money wiring
service such as Western Union or MoneyGram by wiring money back to
the scammers. A seemingly real looking check is supposed to cover
the costs, but ends up being a fake. The victim is out hundreds, if
not thousands, of dollars.
9.Scams and Rip-Offs}
Over-Payment Scams – Over-payment scams typically target small
business owners, landlords or individuals with rooms to rent and
sellers on classifieds or sites like Craigslist. Typically the
scammer pretends to be a customer, possible renter or interested
buyer, respectively. The victim receives a check for more than the
amount requested. The scammers then ask the victim to deposit the
check and wire the extra amount elsewhere, such as to a shipping
company. Ultimately though, the check is fake and the victim is
really wiring money back to the scammers.
10.Scams and Rip-Offs} Phishing
e-mails/H1N1 spam – A perennial problem, phishing e-mails pop up in
inboxes and can take various forms such as appearing to be from a
business, a government agency or official or even a friend. Whatever
the setup, the goal of any phishing e-mail is the same: to trick
victims into divulging sensitive financial information or to infect
the victim’s computer with viruses and malware. In addition to
phishing e-mails, spam e-mail selling wares to prevent the spread of
the H1N1 virus were particularly rampant in 2009.
@Commonsensitivity Thankyou, We will. many, often.
