93-year-old televangelist Ernest Angley handles the balls of his male flock!

Wait, you mean there are homophobes who are secretly gay?

Why would a childless man need a vasectomy?

OMG, NO!

The hair! The horror!

r2 - People who left the church say Angley encouraged (if not demanded) abortions and vasectomies so people would keep focused on (aka giving all their money to) the church.

Part 2 of this story is set for tomorrow. Can't wait. This is hilarious. He's really one of the last of the old-time faith healing con artists.

Well he's a handsome man.

People dumb enough to follow him should not reproduce.

I just found out about this story today. How did I manage to miss it and why isn't Datalounge discussing it more? A six part series. The articles are long. I'll have to wait until I'm home this evening before reading them.

"...personally examines the genitals of the male parishioners before and after their surgeries."

That's one busy forked tongue.

Yet when we do it we're told it will lead to great balls of fire.

Ewwwwww!!!

As a kid in the 70s, I got a big kick out of watching his show on Sunday mornings, especially the faith healing. I often entertained family and friends with my imitation of Angley smacking the grace of GOD-AH into those poor cripples through the forehead.

Can't find any video of him in action, but here's something to give you an idea. Picture him much younger and laying his hands on a deaf kid like he was Bruce Lee and you'll have the gist.

Fucking idiots following a tacky hypocrite.

All religious are perverts.

R12, I used to watch his show in the early 80s. I remember the head-smacking and "YAAY!"

Nice work if you can get it.

The reverend is constantly doing his "Sticks and Stones" sermon with lots of demonstrations.

As opposed to the balls of his female flock?

A friend and I went to one of his faith healing revivals in drag.

The only time I have ever done drag and I was not pretty.

But we had a hilarious time. A teenage boy across the aisle kept staring at me, so I licked my teeth as I sprayed perfume up my skirt.

His mother (who had only seen me sitting there) slapped his wrist and told him, "Stop staring. She can't help it."

R19 That is so camp. I wonder if any of the faithful hit on you "god fearing cross dressing queens?"

R20: I think drag was so off their radar (and my friend was a woman, who did my make-up), they just thought I was a hideously unattractive woman.

Which, hardly made me stand out in the crowd at all . .

Of course, I couldn't talk or that would give it away, so my friend told Ernest when he came up the aisle, "My sister has demons that have snatched her speech. She cannot say so much as, 'I rebuke you!' to those demons."

I then went into a religious trance, threw my purse at him and flopped about in the aisle.

My friend offered him $1,000 to cure me, but when she said she'd send a check later, he lost interest and left me on the floor after a very quick prayer.

He was accompanied by two women with beehives, each with a big plastic bucket to collect all the cash.

This is hilarious.

One of my ex-gfs is from Akron, and her parents were members of a holy-roller speaking-in-tongues church there. My ex sincerely believed she was going to go to hell for her attraction toward women, so she and her equally religious gf-at-the-time (they were both in their late teens) used to go to Angeley's church, hoping and praying to be cured.

My ex's parents were so appalled when they met me a few years down the road (I have always been out) that my ex was mentioned in prayer every Sunday, for healing -- although they never mentioned what from.

After a few years we split up, of course; but this shit was so ingrained in her she married a fucking man just to please her parents, and she was gay as a goose. Not a bi bone in her body.

Still, her upbringing (IMHO) also contributed to her having an NPD, and I am certain she keeps a string of women on the side that her husband doesn't know about (she did when I was with her as well). And in fact, she currently is a very successful -- and still married -- lawyer in Florida.

I wonder if she's heard about all of this, and what she thinks.

"My friend offered him $1,000 to cure me, but when she said she'd send a check later, he lost interest and left me on the floor after a very quick prayer."

Wait a minute - this guy did faith healing in exchange for cash on the barrelhead? Large amounts of cash delivered right in front of God and the congregation, or no spiritual healing for you?

Love your story, R19, and I cannot fucking believe what people will put up with in the name of religion.

I think I watched his late 70s-early 80s show on a few Sunday mornings after taking acid the night before. Good for laughs.

But even my religious grandfather laughed at him.

He looks a little like Sen. Ted Cruz.

I must say, I would love to see a church protesting FOR abortions. That would be a curious sight. I wonder if they stand outside the clinics with signs yelling at the other churches gathered, ushering women in.

And everyone wrongly assumed the only gays were Catholic priests.

I've been looking for videos of Rev.Ernest in action. As a child, I watched this "preacher" on TV; he frequently appeared where I grew up in NC. Between him and Tammy Faye and Jim and the rest of the TV preachers my friends and I never lacked for religious hucksters to mock, to the dismay of our religious parents.

Video clips of Angley "healing" those in need of "merkles" have disappeared from the 'net. Sad. Here's one where the good rev. talks about healing with a hint of the intensity he summons up for the real thing.

I cannot believe this charlatan Punchinello is still alive.

That wig looks like it was painted on his head. And his ears are as long as an elephant's.

Here's a good pic of Angley's head covering, a.k.a.his toupee'.

He could have played Phoebe Tyler.

Can't he put his hand on top of his head and cure his own baldness?

I can't believe anyone ever willingly mated with this hideous beast.

His voice sounds so gay in R34's recording.

Interesting that the first post is from 2014 yet the recent recording is from 2019

The recording is old, but the reporting of it is new, yes.

I think this has been an open secret for some time.

OMG, he's still alive???

No conscience, you live a long life.

He flies around the world in a 747SP. Nice work if ya can get it. I kind of enhanced the image a bit. Couldn't help my self.

The assistant minister on the tape is the Rev. Bill Davis, who left the church after learning about Angley’s activities. On the 23-year-old tape, Davis expresses anger over Angley telling someone that Davis’ wife, Regina, made a “vulgar” comment. Word got back to her, and she was distraught.

Davis: “There’s been horrible discord here ... [while Angley was on a mission trip in Africa]. It’s all I could do to keep [Regina] from talking. She was so angry over that word ‘vulgar.’ You know what she said she was going to tell? She said, ‘I’ll tell you what vulgar is: Him and [name withheld] naked, laying in Angel’s bed, masturbating each other and going to the bathroom to have to wash the ejaculation off his hands.’ ...” Angel is Angley’s wife, who died in 1970.

Angley: “That’s not true because I didn’t ejaculate him. I didn’t make him cum.”

Davis: “Well, you was both naked in that bed.”

Angley: “Well, I didn’t make him cum.”

Davis: “Well, he made you cum then because he ... described your penis.”

Angley: “He didn’t make me cum. No, he didn’t.”

Davis: “Well, you was in there naked.”

Angley: “Well, I didn’t say I wasn’t.”

Davis: “That’s vulgar.”

That exchange... the logic of a demon

Baby Jesus, I pray that if i need to cum for the lord please let it be a handsome pervert that shows me the way!

Excuse me, but no one has asked for MY comment

Who do evangelist preachers always wear white suits?

So you can't see the twink cum.

93? Daddy!!!

“I’m not a homosexual. God wouldn’t use a homosexual like he uses me. He calls me his prophet, and indeed I am. ...(satan)".

They asked me to heal them and I did. I'm not a homosexual, I was releasing their demon seeds. I didn't want the demonic seeds to spill out to the universe, so I used god's Grace and Glory to transmute the demons with the healing amino acids that God keeps in my stomach, thereby protecting you, my flock. Praise Jesus.

R12, he looks like a fatter Merv Griffin in that video. Even has the squinting "I'm interested" eyes down pat...

Angley was into the dangley.

He just settled his sex abuse lawsuit

So it isn't gay as long as you don't come? Noted
