Came across a Popoff infomercial at 2 in the morning one time. Thought is was an snl skit.

Popoff is an absolute snake.

The worst part is that popoff is a proven con man, and through the delusions of the religious, he is still able to do it today.

I'm so old, I remember seeing that episode of the Tonight Show where Randi exposed Popoff. It was great -- that's why I still remember it. Also how I ended up reading Randi's book, The Faith Healers. Despicable group of people.

How did I miss this podcast episode. Lol I worked for Popoff for 8 years at their corporate office in Upland. 1 year as his executive assistant, 2 years in accounting and 5 years processing mail donations. I have some crazy stories!! I was straight out of high school, young and dumb, and needed the high paying salary they offered me 😕 I’m glad I finally got out of there

“Your credit card won’t get you into heaven” Shel Silverstein

People like Popoff, John Edward and "people who talk to the dead" should be in jail. What they do is disgusting.

"i could be a billionaire televangelist if i wasn't so ethical" lmaooo

Now Popoff sells holy water on infomercials between 4-6am on cable channels

Why is there not a class action lawsuit on this guy? Someone should make an example of Peter Popoff

I believe in God. I go to church 3x a week. I 100% love what skeptics like Banachek and Randi do. I'm fine even with them thinking I'm duped. If they are fighting the disgusting abuse of desperate people's faith, they are good people. God bless em.

I got drunk and harassed the people selling the Leroy Jenkins Miracle Water on TV like, every night in a row for a week. Good times

Steve Martin made a great film about this called "Leap of Faith".

There is a sucker born every second.

Chevy Chase spoofs Popoff in FLETCH 2 . The late great R. Lee Ermey plays an Evangelist with an earpiece.

Couldn't agree more about mediums too. I had one approach me in a hospital canteen a couple of hours after my mother died from cancer back in 2013 when I was sitting with my cousin talking about her. I told the psychic to go forth and copulate . She was sitting 3 tables away from me and heard me and my cousin said about my mother. She repeated it back to. Me in her own words avd tried to make it look like my mother "spoke" to her from the "afterlife"

It is easier to fool people then convince them they have been fooled.

I’d put Creflo Dollar and Benny Hinn in this seedy category as well. God says I need a new G5 Lear jet huh? Disgusting people

Yes Peter Popoff with the magical mustard pack of holy water love that commercial

What did Carlin say, Gods all knowing, all powerful, just can’t manage money.

I worked for this guy post bk. Had no idea who he was but soon found out. He & his family had moved into a $500K home, at the the time, late 80s, that one of his cronies bought in north Claremont, Ca. He seemed gracious enough, like a lot of people w/ evil intent do, which has a tendency to lower ones guard. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of people he & his family have cheated & connived & declared bankruptcy on. Absolutely no moral compass whatsoever.

One time i was having a nightmare, but a Peter Popoffs show woke me up. If that's not a miracle Idk what is!

Here's a fun fact for America: Pop-off is slang for a fart. We've been duped by Mr. and Mrs. Fart for years.

With all the phone scams these days I can't believe that television networks have him on knowing he is a fake.

I love the Jaboody Dubs Popoff video lmao

i just LOVE when people talk over each others.

Mr Randy used to come to my college and speak to us often he has had such an impact on my life by showing us these videos and telling us to be skeptics

This is such an important episode.... everyone should see this one

Why hasn't the judicial system made it illegal to emotionally conn people, especially in a spiritual manner? Probably because the ones making the laws are also the ones pedalling, or at the very least, gullible enough to believe in various spiritual cons, and they may be at risk to be jailed for their own con games.

Sooner or later somebody will Popoff, Peter Popoff....He earned it....

PT Barnum said it best....”It’s immoral to let a sucker keep his money.”

People think that if are in a wheelchair it means you can't walk...a lot of times it means you have some trouble walking but you can walk

Popoff continually tricks people out of their money and they still love him. A bit Trumpesque in my opinion.

These guys just won't let each other talk. They constantly interrupt each other. Frustrating.

Are you telling me god needs cash?

See at our church we told the pastor exactly what was going on health wise. And he would just pray for that particular ailment. The Lord healed my asthma when I was 9. I was in hospital a lot in the ICU and after I got prayed for and fell down under the Holy Spirit it went away and never came back.

My whole family still believed in that stuff even after he was proven to be a fraud. They would say "Those are people who don't believe, they want to make God's power appear to be fake!" Those videos where people fall down have tricks too, I went to one and they have people they call "associated with the congregation" (maybe different names at other places) like people who attend the same church regularly each week. When you notice them more they're in specific places in the crowds to prevent injuries. They know how to fall while holding the person in front of them so nobody will get trampled, most have the exact same suits on with kneepads, sweatshirts, sweatpants basically really thick clothing under. I noticed it because all those guys who continue showing up fall the same way, other people will fall left or right or in more natural ways than scripted. It was after I fell on one of them when I noticed it was like falling on a couch. I've fallen on people before who had jewelry on or car keys, the staff arranges the crowds (putting larger people in specific areas) then they make you stand single file before they do it. The seated parts are different where all chairs are bolted to the ground, most people seated are rehearsed (I didn't fall one time and people would be holding hands and drag you down with them. He also mentioned another trick they use, where people will take their watch or ring off and say things like "I hope I get healed tonight, this won't do me any good after I'm in heaven!" You notice several rehearsed people who do it each time you go, and I was going there since I was a child.

I used to work for Sylvia Browne. She is a fraud artist

That fake church dude reminds me of the judge on Nothing But Trouble. Great movie if you haven't seen it.

Think how easy it was to dupe these people 2000 years ago 😂

I used to be a musician for Billy Burke’s “Healing Ministry” he constantly talked about being trained by Kuhlman. It’s so obvious that they all use the same tricks. Even when I was religious I felt very uneasy during these “healing meetings”. I knew something was up.

This is why I stopped going to church. I can still believe in God without giving all my money away and listening to a hypocrite preach the Word to me

As a man of faith who believes in the Word of God and who tries my best to be a good man, I’m happy Joe has guys like this on the show to talk about these horrible deplorable people who take something serious like Faith and turn it into a carnival ride. Damn, what a shame. We’re not all like that though 🙋🏻‍♂️ just saying. But yeah, I love your show Joe! Keep it up 🙌🏻

And now Joe does a version of what Popoff did. I miss the old Joe :/

Its called hypnosis feeling real feelings for a fake show is self hypnosis ....that's why evangelist healers never stop talking ...and use suggestive phrases

I'm coming clean too now, I use to cut the heads off matches when I was a kid, roll them up in paper and sold them to my classmates for 25 cents and told them they were firecrackers.

These hustlers give Christianity as a whole a bad wrap, despite making up only a very small number of the Christian community.

I just love that quote. "You either remember a lot of things about a few things are a few things about a lot of things"

"throw your meds on stage" *Scores Vicodin & Xanax* Me: *now that would be pretty cool lol*

Jaboody dubs popoff videos are gold

This guy just went after easy targets.

Did he really need to be exposed? It seemed really obvious

His last name is what we kids used to call our farts.💨

I'm here because of Jaboody Dubs, Lmao

I am a Christian and I believe that God does heal and I am glad this liar has been exposed. Thank you sir.

I have personally known many pastors of various denominations (from Catholic to Protestant) and after looking into their lives, I’d say the vast majority are true believers who at least try to live what they preach. Lives of poverty and simplicity. The televangelists, even as a kid, always came across of something evil. There’s something not quite right with them. I am glad that, at least compared to years ago, they don’t seem to be as powerful as they used to be. Popoff was a real “innovator” in that he went straight to the natural conclusion of many televangelist ministries: tricks and magic to get as much money as possible.

We need this frequency in Africa ASAP 🙏🤗

Eddie Guerrero looking good

People get old, fragile, others suffer in various ways and become vulnerable to human snakes. If someone said to me "I can talk to your dead father" I would punch them in the face. Human frailty is as varied as is imaginable (from their life experience, circumstance, genetics....whatever) and others see this as an opportunity.

John Edwards expose would be winner winner, chicken dinner.

Today I'm walking to work and thinking to myself that I have to be more active. Actually start taking time to do the things I love,get my body in shape,read some new books,go out more etc. Just in general to be more active etc. While I'm thinking all of this I look up and there is this huge billboard and it says '' BE ACTIVE ''. Then a few weeks before this happend I'm walkin on the same path to work and thinking of one of my best friends that I never get to see anymore because he moved away. I'm thinking how we lost touch and probably will never be like it was before. That same day while I was at work I look at my phone and I see he called me and texted me. Sometimes shit happens that even us non-belivers have to stop and think about these things for a moment.

Get Peter Popoff on the show!

I’m psychic. You doubt me. I knew that.

Joe Rogan did not touch my butt even though i gave him my permission. Cancel him please x

Can't agree with this guy more.

More like Peter Ripoff.

RIP James Randi

this is exactly Steve Martin's "Leap Of Faith"

Yep. This got into my feed bc of jaboody dubs

if I was the cane guy in the wheelchair I would stand up and then do a nosedive into the floor and then sue

That's the amazing thing about humans and cognitive dissonance: someone can get caught, be proven to behave in dishonest ways and people will either be disgusted or they will allow for any excuse to serve as an honest reason for the behavoir to be a) misunderstood or b) forgiven. Cognitive dissonace works well on the deperate and the ignorant. Innoculate yourself by understanding how your emotions work AND how your thought processes work. Being innoculated by such self-understanding/knowledge will make it less likely to be bamboozeled.

i was 14 on acid and seeing popoff at 3am was like seeing satan.

When his life comes to an end, and he meets the great judge; just remember Peter, Jesus will say " l don't know you". And he won't be merciful. Not until you repent.

This guy is holding out on me! Shame him!

If you can’t tell he’s slimy by just looking at him, there’s no hope for you.

If you believe in hell there’s a special place in hell for the popoff’s of the world

Healings do take place If we can steal peoples identity to use if for our own gains They can also steal christian identity for their own gains

What does a machinegun say? "Popopopopopopopopopopopoff!!"

THE GUY NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND LOCKED AWAY

It really needed to be proven that he was a fraud?

I drank some magic spring water and I'm still waiting on my fucking check for thousands of dollars!!!

Is he talking about James Randy?

To everyone who thinks this scam is old news - Popoff is still on one of the UK's Sky Religion Channel October 2021. Still asking for money, still scamming.

James “the amazing” Randi, I’m pretty sure was the guy who exposed popoff.

Kathryn Kuhlman, not Coleman. “Hello, and have you been waaiitting for me?”

I still see his commercial late nights

ABSOLUTELY WATCH.JSBOODY DUBS..POPOFF... HILARIOUS 😆

Whats crazy people still follow Peter pop off 😂😂

Well, I happen to actually BE dead and I can tell you that I speak with Popoff regularly. How do you explain that?

They literally til this day are still showing his commercials

While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived

No way in hell will i ever like the ad better than the video.....fucking ad.....

Remember Ernest angsley.... early 80's? I swear they remade Ernest into pop?!!! Ernest failed too.

I remember the water from Chernobyl.

lets not forget Creflo Dollar. Just kidding let's please forget Creflo Dollar.

Anyone find the Carson video?

Like George Carlin said God's all mighty all powerful and he always needs money, apparently god never learned how to handle money

Man created "Religion" for 2 purposes, Greed & Ego.

Just about 10 years ago I saw Popoff on a late night infomercial, still at it, trying to sell suckers on MIRACLE MONEY! If you just send us real money, you could turn out like these people we filmed receiving paper bags of MIRACLE MONEY! on their doorsteps! I hate to see these guys still getting away with scams, but it's so far from where they were.

Wonder what he thinks about that movie Leap of Faith with Steve Martin?
