yes did you ever want to believe in
something so much that you didn't
question it even when it didn't make
sense it happened to the woman you'll
meet now she put her faith in a preacher
who seemed to be the answer to her
prayers but was her faith misplaced Jim
aala investigates you mean you got a
million dooll Miracle a million dooll
Miracle through the haze of Insomniac TV
this could seem like just another
getrich quick infomercial behold I got
17,000 but then the fun starts Jesus I
Than The Telltale rockus Miracles that
mean this could only be a TV faith
healer oh she's Dr drk in the spirit
Reverend Peter pop off wants you to know
that God can reverse every negative
verdict in your life the key to this
success he says is Miracle Springwater
you're going to see Miracle release
Miracle money miracle healing Miracle
Deliverance in your life it's just like
a almost God himself Carol bercier was
desperate in 2001 when she watched
Reverend and Peter Papa both her sons
she says were seriously ill and Papa's
words were of great comfort I I want to
tell you I care I am concerned and I
know how to pray I know how to move God
he was just telling me exactly what I
was going through so of course I I
called I called right away Carol says
she received her water along with a
letter from pop off like the one 2020
obtained our letter claimed the water
comes from a Russian spring that after
the Chernobyl nuclear accident had
actually protected those who drank from
it ever since I started using this
miracle water and start and it could
miraculously protect the faithful today
too listen to that after you use the
miracle spr yeah you'll use it but I
need some more send me some more but he
warns don't don't I I said don't drink
the water until you follow the Divine
leading in Direction those directions
are quite specific commanding you to
sleep with it one night night then drink
it right after waking up pray over the
empty packet then send it back to pop
off and don't forget to include
$17 once on his mailing list we were
asked for another $27 for a bag of
prayer blessed Dead Sea Salt to be eaten
over a 3-day period another $27 for a
gold and silver blessing bracelet and
$200 for these paper Leaf cutouts to be
placed one at a time on a chart
by the way the Dead Sea salt according
to an independent lab we hired in no way
chemically resembles real dead sea salt
yet these gimmicks appeal to the
desperately faithful we are so
vulnerable to anything Carol says she
sent the Reverend about
$500 and she is not
alone donations to pop off's Ministry
soared to $23 million he just sold this
California house house for almost $2
million recently he was spotted in a
Porsche and today he drives this
Mercedes together he and his wife were
paid nearly $1 million in
2005 we tried to talk to pop off about
this but he ignored our letter and phone
calls po
J for a second Sor wondering about this
so we tried to talk to him in person we
going ask a couple
question he's been through this before
here it comes I'll tell you you're going
to work Miracle healings first propelled
him up the televangelist ladder in the
mid 1980s here it goes and Jesus right
now Hallelujah they're usually very
carefully rehearsed for this the climb
to the top stopped abruptly when private
investigator James Randy who's made a
career of exposing psychics healers and
the supernatural exposed pop off in a
big way there are always suckers out
there who will fall for this sort of
thing people who are naive enough to
subscribe to it is it G Alice Gould God
is touching that thyroid condition right
now he noticed that pop off seemed to
know personal details of his audience
members before he even met them Louise
Cooper Artis in her left me how long
have you could that voice in his ear be
from God
16271 street 16271 street is that right
that's right they thought that this was
something Supernatural and that pop off
had access to it no it wasn't God but
his wife Elizabeth offstage in a secret
Booth hello pety can you hear me if you
can't you're in trouble she pre- intered
audience members before the show to
gather information which she then
relayed directly to pop off not through
Angels but through a wireless earpiece
like this she has all over burning this
arthritis right out of your body Randy
staff used a radio scanner to record the
secret transmissions and suddenly the
Miracles seemed a bit less miraculous
Jodie Dean Dean jod Dean no should be
right there on your right side right
side glory to God come on up here no
that's not her glory to God that that
might be her here it comes and she's
praying for her daughter Joy who's
allergic I'll tell you God is going to
give joy complete deliverance many of
them are incurable in many cases or they
just don't know what's wrong with them
so they want to believe not only that
more importantly they need to believe
they desperately need it after pop off
was exposed he reportedly filed for
bankruptcy and went off the air for a
time brigher is he now almost 20 years
later hey man here we go he's pushing
Miracles again now let me send you this
new large packet of Miracle spring water
it's important don't miss this miracle
moment Carol verer knew nothing of his
shady past now she believes the man she
had so much trust in used her faith
against her I I just thought it was like
a miracle was to happen because it felt
like a it was it was going to be a
miracle he was going to just healed them
like that both of them didn't happen Oh
Glory Oh
Glory
