I wonder how you would feel if someone close to you was in a desperate state ie either ex druggie/alcohic or seriously ill, was taken to the cleaners financially and or spiritually by this guy?
Why is it that because he does it to people not connected to you, it's not equally devastating?

Do you know - I wouldn't be surprised if some of you could be done for libel - with all the unproven, libellous allegations made against him on this site!

Lots of assumptions, suppositions, guesswork, over-active imaginations, reading own perceptions into things - but no actual proof that the guy has done anything wrong, nevermind ripped anyone off!

Some people should exercise a little more tact and a loss less blind stupidity! It really is beginning to sound like religious discrimination!

Here is the problem:

Yes, I posted this for fingers and others and my complaint is that this type of behavior is shaming Christianity. The drunken nonsense is the problem.

Fingers and a few others don't care about that but instead are hoping to convince people that the video depicts David faking some disease or injury that has him in a wheelchair in order to 'get money'.
Wrong.
That is not what is happening there. It is not a video of David pretending to be in a wheelchair to get money.

So now what has happened is that Fingers is becoming as guilty as the thing he claims to be against: deception, misrepresentation, fooling people.

[soleila]

He's playing down the whole healing monk thing at the moment cos he knows it will make him look more accessible and give him a better chance at winning. He is the biggest FAKE in the house by a mile! Get him out!!!

[Crimson Dynamo]

can anyone tell me how he earns his money and feeds his family?

This is exactly what I mean! You don't know how he pays his bills - you just assume instead!

According to a friend of his who comes on here sometimes, and possibly something he may have said himself, he gets a wage/salary from some sort of sponsors for this 'group'! Don't know the ins and outs - but the point being - none of us do!

Without facts - noone should be making such unproven, unfounded allegations - they are character assassination and potentially extremely dangerous to his 'reputation' - whatever individuals currently happen to think of that! Just comes down to personal likes and dislikes based on people's individual views, nothing more!

I agree that it does shame Christianity (in my opinion)
Surely one of daves little mates (in the vid) could have had a placard stating that Dave was actually able bodied? The chair was obviously used as an advertising slogan for his cause, the honourable thing (if he wasn't presenting himself as disabled) would have been to make this clear to the people he spoke to?
Put it this way, if I encountered a Monk in a wheelchair, the last thought to come to mind would be that he was anything other than a disabled Monk!
The Drunk on the Lord nonsense is surely the same thing? An illusion whose sole purpose is to convince?

It means how does he draw a wage?

If he is making money from his falsehoods and nonsense then someone or someones are being exploited.


"he gets a wage/salary from some sort of sponsors for this 'group'!"

bingo

You have a valid point there - but there is a big difference between lack of insight, stupidity (whatever you want to call it) and out and out dishonest intentions and ripping people off!

What other conclusion would anyone who saw him make?


it was exploitative and dishonest

Conclusions, assumptions - we keep coming back to that! No actual facts!

he does not have a job

his "minister" moniker is not recognised by any authority (ie it is self proclaimed)

He has no job

he makes his money by exploiting gullible people to donate to him



His whole "ministry" is based on earning him a wage

Im absolutly certain that Dave doesn't do this for kicks .. if he was collecting money on the spot or not, he clearly wanted to draw people in to his version of Faith. There isn't an organisation on Earth that survive on fresh air, the people he 'recruits' have to contribute.
Judging from his travel schedule alone (which he has mentioned dozens of times IN the house, I don;t have to assume, its clearly doing very well.

An excellent point.

People are more likely too empathize with someone who is in a wheelchair: Exploitative

He doesn't need a bloody wheelchair: Dishonest

why do you need an authority to recognise what you believe in?
