Just when you think he can't possibly sink lower than you've rated him, up pops an even worse revelation ...
I'm hoping that the press will investigate after dave gets booted from the house.

I don't think anyone has denied that Dave believes that God uses him as a vessel to heal (lots of religious people believe that) strange as that may seem to the rest of us - but people have asked for proof that he charges to heal people - where was the proof of that!

Firstly, at the very least .. and it IS an assumtion .. God didn't pay for his ticket, board etc while he was in India (and all the other locations he jets off to) ...
Secondly, YOU refused to accept that Dave made any such claim and demanded proof ... this was after a lengthy debate about recruitment drives (On the streets) and unfinanced Organisations on this Planet being non existant etc ..

Dave has already explained that sponsors of the church pay for tickets, board etc - called expenses!

I'm not changing any goal posts - I have yet to see proof of Dave saying anywhere that he charges to 'cure' people of cancer or anything else!

Yes there is a small fee for people to go to these 'sloshfests' - just as people generally pay to attend events (they are a small church and no doubt can't afford to fund all such events) but that is not the same thing as actually charging people to 'cure' them!

Posts: 6,058 Do you know what's in Dave's watertight BB contract and why some reporters have said they can't run any stories about Dave until after he leaves the house? "

Or does anyone else have confirmation - info on this???

Chuff - let's not get carried away here! I am most definitely not one of his team - I am not and never have been religious! But I don't like these type of witchhunts - and I am not going to accuse people of something without proper, 100% proof. I have not had that - and I don't believe it is to be had!

I don't believe people can be vessels for God to heal people - but a lot of religious people do - and I think Dave is genuinely one of them, however odd I find that!

Having said that - the mind is a very powerful thing - and if people believe something strongly enough, sometimes it can make it happen - called the placebo effect!

The £30 was for attending a Sloshfest.

Yes, I have heard Dave say he saw a tumour recede through the power of prayer...I have NOT heard him say he charges people to pray for them.

I DID hear his say to Steve 'Maybe you'll let me get my hands on those nubs' or words to that affect, suggesting that he thought he and God could somehow regrow them. No I dont believe for one minute that's possible.

Dave's take on religion appears to be very evangelical, and not something that suits many people....it doesnt make it wrong or sick though, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people around the world believe that failth can help cure their ills, make their lives better, redress the balance for any of their sins.

I personally dont like the fact that Dave thought Steve needed his legs regrowing...he's managed for twenty years without them, it kinda smacks of a suggestion that Steve should somehow be unhappy or dissatisfied, or that maybe Dave has some problem with his disability...in short, it came across as patronising..

BUT...a witch hunt this definitely does seem to be..

I also dont see how there could possibly be a press embargo on this? All the national news papers are way bigger than the programme? What purpose would it serve? To keep some bod from Wales who no one has ever heard of until now in the house? Is he THAT influential? The production team were all aware of his videos etc before he went in, THEY approached HIM....if anything the press reporting him would only pull in more viewers if anything?

Some of us watch a GAMESHOW and base our opinions on ALL of them on what they do and say in the house and are happy to defend what we see without spitting the dummy and announcing entries to our ignore list when we cant counter an argument

Yes ,flamingGalah, some people who already disliked Dave claim to have heard this on live feed, just like a good few of the same people that claimed he sent his kids to private school( that was proven to be a lie).

A lot of us heard him say that it was a £30 entry to the sloshfests, if thats the bitty you are talking about , and have no problem with that as people can spend their money on what they want to believe, even if I think its a pile of poo. But that was not him saying he charges £30 to pray for a cure

What some of us are wanting, just once, is some proof beyond people that already disliked Dave due to outside preBB things saying they heard it so it must be true.
Surley someone with so many u-tube clips to show us on dave would have the "evidence" if it exsisted:conf:
Or even the bit from the live feed thread where he said it:conf:

Give that kind of proof and some dave fans might jump ship.

But, tbh, I wont hold my breath waiting to see it cos its been asked for so many times I simply dont believe there is any proof

I haven't accused Josie of a crime - the worst I have accused her of is faking a 'romance' for the cameras - and manipulating her way to the final! Hardly the same as accusing someone of ripping-off vulnerable cancer patients!:rolleyes: How can you draw comparisons between the two - one is a criminal offence!

Rofl.. are you serious? The language you have used re Josie would make a sailor blush, the nasty assumtions you insist are valid truths are worthy of old Nick himself in their darnright evil tone .. the girl can't breathe without you throwing something vile at her!
Dave has condemned himself through his own words, actions and behaviour in the house ... not perceived behaviour!
Does it not even concern you a little that dozens and dozens of people, on this Forum and many others have all reported hearing the same thing?
... Please, tell me you think we're all colluding against him lol!!
BTW, when ol Dave gets out, I'll be avidly watching for news about him ... maybe there'll be some nice snaps of him lamping (or in your words, 'he was probably playing with the dear little bunnies and foxes whilst strolling his dogs at night')... or if we're really lucky, we might see him curing you of some ailment as proof of his validity!

a lot of the people have major pops at dave are happy to admit to their hate in the dave and john james thread.

Stoney, I realise you are a friend of his but take a good look at that video, you are attempting to defend the indefensible.
Within the house, Dave has let YOU down ... he is behaving attrociously on a daily basis .. when has he once given a thought to the impact his words and actions would have on his Friends or Family?
I salute your loyalty and find it shamefull of Dave not to have deserved it.

You are a liar - because I know I haven't used the sort of language that would 'make a sailor blush' not my style! I can't stand the girl - I have never made any secret of that - but even I was shocked when people started making comments about a certain part of her anatomy remaining unwashed - I haven't said anywhere near as bad as some!

I stand by my words that she is fake, a manipulator, lazy, greedy, bitchy, jealous, a cheat, two-faced, underhand - if any of those words make you blush - you must be very sensitive!

And I repeat - I haven't accused her of a crime!

If Dave's own words have condemned him, as you say, the police would have arrested him by now! It is all about interpretation! As some tv guy recently said in an article about bb - present any two people with a given situation - they will each see it differently with a different take on what was meant, suggested etc. Sigh!

!

most of these "dozens" already disliked dave due to the u-tubes they saw on him from outside the BB house and some of them have been proven to being either liars or very mistaken( over the claim he sent his kids to private school for one).:nono:
But a good many of us also saw the same bit on LF and heard him talk about the meetings being £30 entry but at no time did I hear him say that he charged £30 to cure cancer as some of his haters( that is what they are happy to admit to being in the john james and dave thread http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156000) claim to have heard


Dave has entertained me in the house more than a lot of the other inmates and I would like him to reach the final before I would want Mario, JJ, john james, steve, andrew to.
I dont think he has any hope of winning tho as its Josie's to lose and has been for a long time now. Its just a shame that her involvement with JJ1 has meant that we have not seen as much of the fun Josie that we saw before they got so close tho but she will be the best representative of BB11 for the "allstars" imo if she can get over the absence of JJ1

Some of us watch a GAMESHOW and base our opinions on ALL of them on what they do and say in the house and are happy to defend what we see without spitting the dummy and announcing entries to our ignore list when we cant counter an argument

Yes ,flamingGalah, some people who already disliked Dave claim to have heard this on live feed, just like a good few of the same people that claimed he sent his kids to private school( that was proven to be a lie).

A lot of us heard him say that it was a £30 entry to the sloshfests, if thats the bitty you are talking about , and have no problem with that as people can spend their money on what they want to believe, even if I think its a pile of poo. But that was not him saying he charges £30 to pray for a cure

What some of us are wanting, just once, is some proof beyond people that already disliked Dave due to outside preBB things saying they heard it so it must be true.
Surley someone with so many u-tube clips to show us on dave would have the "evidence" if it exsisted:conf:
Or even the bit from the live feed thread where he said it:conf:

Give that kind of proof and some dave fans might jump ship.

But, tbh, I wont hold my breath waiting to see it cos its been asked for so many times I simply dont believe there is any proof
You can put all the confused smilies on you wish to, but it doesnt change the FACT that he DID say he chrages to pray for cancer victims

I honestly didn't know anything about dave v when he walked in the house, just thought he was a nut .. However, I did give him the benefit of many doubts to start with but as time went on and I realised that he WAS actually a backslider, troublemaker and backstabber I did form an obvious negative opinion.
I would have liked Sam in there but as thats not going to happen ... I totally agree with you about Josie.

Absolutley agree with you.. Dave is entitled to believe whatever he chooses. Its when he preaches to others etc..etc.. whilst clearly contradicting himself and the faith he proffesses to Love, which gets my blood boiling.
I hear him stirring, lying and see him being sneaky and nasty (really nasty) about his (so called) friends in the house ... seconds after brandishing his Bible ... had he not gone in as a Minister I might have found his shennanigans easier to stomach .. as it is, he went in with the express purpose of 'spreading the word', if not to recruit yet more vumerable beings.

thats where we differ.
dave is just an inmate same as the rest and should be judged in the same way imo

They have all bitched, maybe not Corin too much, and backstabbed and stirred.
But dave also brings out a lot of the humour in the house imo so I like hiom more than the likes of the one dimensional JJ1 who has brought teh house down too often

But as a Josie fan you would be better off phoning a few times to evict the likes of JJ1, mario or Corin or even sam cos they probably have more chance of taking Josie's crown than dave:spin:

I get where you are coming from, just disagree with it tho.

He went in as a man with the same human flaws we all have.

He would be fake if he didnt show those flaws and then i would not like him as an inmate

I think I want Josie to win, altho only if JJ1 goes this week to give her a bit of time to get used to the house without him . If not I think she might walk from the allstars which would be a shame.

Some FMs remind me of that old question:
If somebody farts in the middle of a forest but nobody hears or smells it .. did it really happen and if so .. was it really a fart?
The answer is that some FMs should listen out and smell whats crawling up their nostrils instead of wasting their lives playing the 'prove it was a fart' game.

OTT? Its mild in comparison to his just deserts.
Stoney, I realise you are a friend of his but take a good look at that video, you are attempting to defend the indefensible.
Within the house, Dave has let YOU down ... he is behaving attrociously on a daily basis .. when has he once given a thought to the impact his words and actions would have on his Friends or Family?
I salute your loyalty and find it shamefull of Dave not to have deserved it.

You know nothing - and if you had been on the forum longer than 5 minutes you would know that is not normally my style - that was a one-off because of some issues with mods! You really seem to have some issues with me - fine - but just make sure you get your facts right first! :rolleyes:

Sigh! Not content with attacking Dave's character - now you start on me as a big supporter of his! Pretty pathetic really!

I suggest you would be far better off finding the so-called evidence for all the allegations you make against Dave - to prove you are not just going off on some half-cocked rant most of the time, and were actually right all along - now wouldn't that make you feel good - instead of making such underhand attempts at undermining my character!

All that achieves is to reinforce what others' already know - that you have become so desperate that you are reduced to such cheap, infantile methods as personally attacking his supporters - as you are clearly unable to prove any of the allegations you have repeatedly made against him!

Like any rational person - simply a lack of evidence to the contrary!

Look, if it comes to light either tomorrow or at some time in the future that Dave is a conman and has indeed charged people for 'cures' - I will be as disgusted as anyone else! If Dave actually believes that he is some kind of vessel for God's powers, like many from established religions, then he is not a conman, deluded perhaps, but no conman - and does not deserve all the vitreol aimed at him!

Currently - all I see is man whose religous views include a belief in the power of healing! I don't believe that, never have - or only to the extent that if people (those looking for a cure) believe in something strongly enough, in this case the power of their faith, then the power of the mind - can, sometimes, influence the body and act as a catalyst for the body to heal itself!

I deal in facts - and until there is evidence that Dave's motives are questionable and he has indeed made money out of peoples' misery - at which point I would hold my hands up to being a bad judge of character - I will trust my instincts that he is an ok guy, not perfect, but that he generally means well!

And I feel no shame and make no apologies for remaining rational on this subject and being prepared to give a man I find quite likeable the benefit of the doubt!

Pot and kettle I think - as you are pretty good at being rude and dishing out insults yourself! I don't claim to be perfect, as sometimes when annoyed by the comments of others, I may go a bit too far, although nothing compared to many on here, but generally I am pretty reasonable in my approach, I believe - not that I have to explain myself to you! I have also defended people on here - when being ganged up on by others - so that snide little implicaton is unfounded!

I would have thought that someone which such a holier than thou attitude, would have preferred the 'setting by example' approach - rather than the arrogant 'do as I say, not as I do' one. Sigh!

As for the comment on sparing - as I don't recall mentioning anyone other than yourself - I don't see how 'you' suddenly became 'everyone' - putting words in peoples' mouths is rarely a very effective argument!

I find it very tedious that if I state to you a few 'home truths' it is overbearing and rude - but when you do the same to me - it is simply putting a little upstart in their place! I do detest such double-standards!

Firstly - the evidence is there in black and white - "you saw a glimpse of reasoned argument" - therefore, it is obvious that, in your mind, your opinion/approval is what validates whether my argument is reasoned or not!

Nobody needs to be a 'conman' in any of this India business but I will tell you what is happening and how this works:
(really, I am telling you what many Indians and Pentecostal Ministry people have told me)

Suppose you are a charismatic ministry looking for some 'street cred' for your group?
You'd love your video CV to show thousands of people streaming to your pulpit to convert and ask for healing etc.

Now suppose you are from a rural area (or even an urban one) but you live in a rural area in the Punjab and and don't have much in the line of highly entertaining free western style concerts?
Suppose your culture is a little unique in that - as far as your concerned - whatever religion, guru's, prophets go it doesn't really matter.
Hey.. if a strange black woman claims rastafarian psychic powers you will try out whatever formula is going on,
or,
some odd white man from the USA has an incantation about Jesus you would do that too.
Whatever.
Great!
This week 10,000 souls will show up to give their life to Guru Alice from Wonderland and next week to Jesus and next month to the Mormons.

Nobody is really 'conning' anyone here although here again you can say they are 'conning themselves' in a sort of sad naive way.
I can still recall a convo with a once enthusiastic young pentecostal gal who volunteered and was thoroughly and sincerely convinced her Pastor and them were obviously at the brink of some nearly miraculous revolution when thousands appeared and did 'alter calls',
then,
as they lived in India and she realized the same people were showing up in mass droves to commit to ANY goofy thing - she was somewhat devastated.

btw.. don't blame the Indians for anything in this either. Although some Indians tell me their countrymen were gullible,
no,
I think its just a case where its 'their perspective' and they just don't discern the differences where we suppose they should or understand their 'paradigm' with this stuff.

Anyways - it does impress many Pentecostals back home who often see these crowds and suppose some great move of God must be happening with their leaders in India.

*btw.. this is not to say there are not weighty or different experiences there too.. this is describing a rule*

Gullible ... assuming they were genuinely ill, I'd say desperate.
As I said in an older post, my sister Kris died of throat cancer a few years ago .. I would have bought into anything to help her .. with hindsight I can see that it would have been foolish and futile ... I can't imagine being silly enough to go anywhere near these people in the future BUT I also know that this would probably change if any one of my kids took ill!!
Thats where my concerns lie with outfits like Daves ... vunerable people become desperate, this can rapidly lead to exploitation.

A few Indians tried to describe this 'mentality' and it starts by understanding that many Indians are born and raised in 'polytheism'.
They already have a 'world view' where there are many gods and demi-gods and divine gurus etc,
and/or/part,
that there may be less a 'god' (in the theist sense) and more a 'god is universe is god' concept.
OK.
So when you see how that is their 'axiom' and how they see things then you can see how it is not problematic (in their view) that you may say the 'sinners prayer' and worship Jesus on Sunday,
then,
give allegiance and say the prayers of a visiting Buddhist 'evangelist' on Tuesday,
or,
Agree to follow Guru Raj on wednesday.

As for gullible I wonder. One Indian friend of mine actually wanted me to go with him to India and just pretend to be a 'Guru' because he was convinced we could get 'many many rupees' lol

Some on Christian missions likened it more to just a need for entertainment and socializing.
Punjabi farmers may not have Big Brother live-feeds and don't get many foreign rock bands putting on free concerts.
It's fun, interesting, a curiosity, an investigation, a learning experience to see some strange Americans play music and try and heal people with their hands.
Cool.
Fascinating. Lets go see what it does. Hey.. what if it worked on someone? Even if it doesn't it may be entertaining to see them try.
Maybe feel superior if it doesn't work?
Maybe its just hilarious anyways.

I'm going to make two categories for Evangelists (even though real life is not always either/or).

- The Hustlers. Not necessarily 'con artists' either but they are the ones who are aware of this situation we described.
They are not doing this for Indians so much as they are doing it for the video of 'thousands coming to Christ' at their alter-calls,
and,
then translating these images and numbers into huge support back home with a congregation supposing they are a good investment.
IF they can bring thousands and thousands to Christ in India then surely God will use them here, in England, in America etc.
*The 'Hustler' is not necessarily a 'fake'.
*This type tends to believe the 'ends justify the means' and says "well even if one Indian was sincere it was worth it",
and,
"if it does get me funding I will be successful anyways so it doesn't matter".

The Naive Preachers
- Most start this way and some actually stay this way. They arrive in India full of good intentions and expecting nobody.
Thousands show up and seem to pay special attention to them and they sincerely believe its a miracle,
that God must be using them,
that whatever they are preaching or doing is bringing thousands to alter-calls.
You can't argue with that - they sincerely believe they ought to phone home and get maximum support for this amazing success they are having. Their supporters sincerely believe it too and continue sending them to India.

Call it irony or something else but Christianity really has planted and growing a solid healthy small tree in India.
Indian Christians may be among the best 'Bereans' on the planet and some of the best Christian scholars, philosophers and 'apologists' in the world coming from India now.
Yet.. none of this seems to have come out of the evangelical charismatic 'crusades' over there.
It actually seems to be rooted back to colonial times and more modern immigration-emigration,
and... internet forums, youtube, satellite television, mass media. Basically just connecting with the modern world and having access to the 'global arena'.

I have spent so much time in and around 'Faith Healers' and I can honestly say I have never seen what I would be able to verify as a proper 'miraculous healing' of the body,
or,
for that matter I have never yet been able to verify 2nd and 3rd hand stories,
yet,
In fairness I have heard a doctor describe and verify one case of a young boy having a brain tumor disappear overnight which he described as 'physically impossible' (according to any known medical science),
and,
yes he did have x-rays etc.
Someone later suggested that it may be possible the first x-ray was some kind of freak misdiagnosis (dont ask me how),
but,
I don't even like to mention that because I never saw or heard about it again or can't find it online or contact anyone etc.

my sister Kris died of throat cancer a few years ago

I'm sorry to hear that.
A few years ago my father came 'this close' to dying from cancer.
In fact, he was unconscious in a remote location and estimated about 30 minutes away from bleeding to death.
He was found and rescued by a Christian couple that were concerned about his health and decided to look for him that night.
I see that as the 'divine interference' that actually happened years earlier when that couple sought Christ to change their hearts and began to make caring for others their direction in life.
Which ultimately led to saving my fathers life and its interesting because even the Surgeon described the rescue as a 'miracle' in light of timing etc.
and,
as a result of the incident my father had to reconsider everything and later sought reconciliation with his family and friends and himself.
So there again is where I see the real 'divine healing' that came out of it all.
That is what's 'real' and what was the ultimate healing.

But yeah, I would never support any 'faith healers' and the good news is that the vast majority of Christians don't or are extremely conservative about such things.
