Full Title: 'Yes We Eat Grass and We're Proud of It,' Say Congregants Who Were Convinced by 'Miracle' Working Preacher
Pastor Puts People to Sleep and Says If Cops Come to Arrest Him He Can Make Them Sleep Too
Despite growing outrage over a popular "miracle" working South African pastor who convinced members of his church to eat grass, members who have followed his command say the grass has given them strength and healing.
"Yes, we eat grass and we're proud of it because it demonstrates that, with God's power, we can do anything," said 21-year-old law student Rosemary Phetha and member of Pastor Lesego Daniel's Rabboni Centre Ministries in South Africa in a Times Live report.
Phetha said for more than a year she struggled with a sore throat that only healed after Daniel "turned me into a sheep and instructed me to eat grass."
Another member, 27-year-old Doreen Kgatle, who suffered a stroke two years ago that left her unable to walk said the grass made her walk again.
"I could not walk but soon after eating the grass, as the pastor had ordered, I started gaining strength and an hour later I could walk again," said Kgatle.
Pastor Daniel, dubbed the "miracle man," has been attracting people from all over South Africa to his 1,000-member church by unleashing spellbind acts like commanding people to sleep and awake at will.
There, fixed it. (or at least that was what my brain first told me...:)
That’s some nice grass.
Cheaper than a lawnmower, I guess.
Humans aren’t evolved to eat grass. This is gross.
Without looking at the caption, at first glance that looked like a photo of the Jonestown congregation.
"What? Doesn't everybody do that?"
Exactly. The hoity toity vegans here in the US pay lots of money to get some wheat grass juice. And the folks in COlorado seem to be going out of there way to get grass some of which they will eat
Usually when see these sorts of things I ask “show it to me in the Bible!” Unfortunately it is! A king is struck mad and eats grass for 7 years.
Not sure what is going on here other than a test of faith, but is it in God or the Pastor? Who is the overseer of the Pastor, if any? What does he say?
Most of the people I know eat grass, even myself. Corn, wheat, rice, barley etc. And in the biological processed form of meat. Look up the term “All Food Is Grass” (it’s an Ag thing).
And this shocking thing is that this is for real.
The preacher pimp preacher pimp ...ahh, I give up.
or the overseer of the pasture, do they pay rent to chomp his grass?
This is also all about the preacher and not about God.
I suspect their leader gets paid to have his flock keep the grass cut short.
Dan_4:33 “That same hour the judgment was fulfilled, and Nebuchadnezzar was driven from human society. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven. He lived this way until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers and his nails were like birds’ claws.
Your a military doctor right? At the very least the grass is good ruffage. Eating grass is also good for getting up fur balls but that’s for cats.
lol

I was wondering when someone was going to cite that verse!
My food poops on their food.
