Jesus loves Capitalism...

This is an actual scam that one of my friends saw on a televangelist spot on late night tv in south florida... it was promising financial "salvation" and prosperity in the name of Jesus, so long as you sent the self proclaimed prophet "reverend peter popoff" an amount of his choosing (that he says the Holy Spirit told him to ask you for.) How it works is he sends you some of his "miracle water" and after drinking it, you are to send him a certain amount of money and to write your prayers on the check, and you will miraculously receive thousands of dollars, or a house, or a boat, or something like that... my friend called it joking around, and a week later, sure enough, his "miracle water" envelope showed up, along with his free bonus gift of a prayer ribbon that would answer all your prayers as long as you sent in $15. Obviously he ignored it, made plenty of jokes about the "Jesus Water" and that was that. A year later, he received the following wonderful piece of literature.

THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVED BEYOND WHAT ANYONE COULD THINK!

Dear __NAME__,
In Tampa, the Lord "positioned YOU for YOUR Harvest". The MIRACLE-WORKING POWER of the Holy Spirit visited us in such a blessed and unique way. I have included a couple of pictures from the miracle crusade in Tampa.


Please look at them and rejoice with me. Look what the Lord just did! YOU can receive that same miracle touch, even NOW!
I've received letters from others who came ... that they can STILL feel His PRESENCE in their lives! God was so good. My Brother, that same ANOINTING is still flowing. Yes, STILL flowing!

I've enclosed a packet of Holy Green Anointing Oil that I have personally prayed over. It contains that SAME miracle ­working POWER and anointing that we experienced in Tampa. Even right now, as I am writing this letter, I feel that same anointing so strongly for YOU! GET READY TO RECEIVE! This is YOUR time. This is YOUR season -- to receive your miracle.
I must give you 2 directives from God: FIRST is to tell you exactly how to use this oil to anoint ...


For reasons of safety, I must ask you to keep secret what I am going to share with you now.
