I have not been suckered by any of them. I recieve them in the mail alot but I dont send any money because if I have a church that I go to and any money I chose to give for GOD's work I give there. I know what missions it goes for that way.

I've never been "had" because it is this type of person that really helps in turning me off of Christianity. Those religious shows on TV are all scams and entirely about making money. They are like gigantic fundraisers. What is most hilarious to me is that they 1. need to do them every day and 2. for the purpose of "doing God's will" by being on the air. They act as if they don't have enough money to keep their show on television. The basis of their television show is to raise money to remain on the television, which they most likely already have because they scam everyone out of their money with fictional words of how God is going to bless you or very often a word about the "End-Times" which always gets the religious to pour money into the church and media. They teach nothing new every day. It is always about "sowing your seed so God will bless you." Then they ask you to "sow seeds" of 2000 dollars to get some free Bible. It is sickening and disturbing.

I use to get a lot of those things in the mail but I never responded. Reverend Ike use to send those out. I haven't got one in years.
