I had heard something about the "vow and prayer cloth" thing years ago. When his ministry was going under, they threw out all the prayer requests and kept the money. I was just surprised he had resurfaced recently. The only reason I found out he was back was when I was channel surfing and went by BET, his program was on there, and that struck me as odd.
Rod Parsley is a bit strange but one show he was doing a report about Sudanese slavery. Imagine that the showboating preachers had more to say about it than the US government for so many years.
