I knew these things actually happened in the US, but this is the first time I’ve seen video evidence.
The video is from a church in Connecticut called Manifested Glory Ministries. They put it n their website, obviously proud that they could muster the audacity to put their knowingly fraudulent and psychotic practices to work as a tool for homophobia. I wonder if the shysters made any money off of scaring this possibly gay child for life.
The FDA needs to crack down hard on these dangerous and bogus blowhards for offering (and perhaps selling) a dangerous medieval “therapy” that claims, and consistently fails, to cure ailments. They might get away with it if the conditions they claim to cure are imaginary (Our Name is Legion. Your mother sucks cocks in Hell!), but since homosexuality is a real thing, and they claim to cure it, the FDA needs to bring the hammer down hard. And they can. The same goes for Benny Hinn and the other lunatics who think that pushing old ladies in the head and knocking them down will cure cancer.
After seeing this, I have no doubt that what you are seeing in this video is violating at least a dozen laws relating to advertising, medicine, child abuse, harassment (could the gay person walk away or stop the hazing at any time?), physical abuse, emotional abuse, slander, discrimination, etc.
If I don’t start hearing about some very strong legal cases brought against the psychos, I’m going to be extremely angry. This is not something that is or should be protected by the First Amendment. Freedom of religion is not the freedom to abuse.
Or are we going to wait until this kid is older, and, as churches are known to do, he is intimidated with everlasting flame to stay in such an environment where he eventually kills himself? Press charges, State of Connecticut. Put these errant frauds in jail.
