Now in the midst of this semi-good natured ribbing of television evangelifrauds, I DO want to put in a good word for one of them, he may appear flamboyant, some might say that he is quick to smack the forehead with a resounding *YAY-YUH* !!! but I am here to tell you that in late 2003, I actually received a true healing from the man, it wasn't all in my mind, and he never so much as hinted at my giving a donation, in fact our meeting was private and 'off the grid', and he was quick to take NO credit for what was a miraculous healing, and gave all the Glory to God.

Now you can certainly Google up all sorts of data on him, some good,
some 'not so good', however MY experience was nothing but good.
I believe he is sincere, and I will never say an unkind word about him.
(and I confess to poking fun at him mercilessly for many years too)

What was the affliction you were healed from by him, if you don’t mind me asking?

Interesting. As you don’t mention what you needed to be healed from it’s hard to determine what sort of healing you actually received. If you were suffering from some sort of emotional affliction, I’m sure a kind word and some encouragement from a stranger, any stranger, could be healing if you were looking to be healed in the first place. In that case it wasn’t the healer that healed you but the reinforcement of what you probably already knew, a bit of common sense, a kind word that helped you. That wasn’t a miracle.

If you had some medical condition, Earnest Angley’s words to you likely had nothing to do with it. Without knowing if you were under a doctor’s care, perhaps your healing had more to with him than with Angley. Or perhaps you thought you were ill and weren’t or you were misdiagnosed in the first place. Again, this would not be a miracle.

That Angely didn’t hit you up for a donation and gave all the Glory to God doesn’t mean he (Angely) gave you “true healing” and that he isn’t a con man. Understand that sometimes con artists will walk away from a mark. Perhaps he didn’t think you were worth enough or perhaps he thought you would do better as someone who could help him set up other, more lucrative marks. Sometime con artists use “shills” to lubricate the wallets of the “whales”.

“Shills, also known as accomplices, help manipulate the mark into accepting the con man's plan. In a traditional confidence trick, the mark is led to believe that he will be able to win money or some other prize by doing some task. The accomplices may pretend to be strangers who have benefited from performing the task in the past.”

I believe he is sincere, and I will never say an unkind word about him.

See what happened there, you are an unknowing shill in the con game that is Earnest Angley. Nobody ever said he wasn’t a good con artist.
