My cousin's wife lived in the town where he started his healing services. He was kicked out when they discovered he was getting people to come to his services and pretending to be healed. It was just a farce.

Watching video of people who are seemingly ill or unable to walk, etc. and suddenly the preacher walks up to them, hits them on the forehead says "Praise Je-Sus!" and WHAM!! they fall to the ground, have a seizure and suddenly are healed. Everyone in the mega-church prays and claps and sings.
Huh, yeah. I believe that. Sure. Just like I believe in the New System. Oh, and did I mention the Resurrection? Yeah, I think I did somewhere on here.
Didn't Rutherford say "Religion is a snare and a racket"?

And, no, that's not mean. He should have been more than ready to meet his Maker at the Pearly Gates, as he pictured Him. He's in a better place.
And so are we.

Of course, you're assuming "God" wants him. I can imagine God muttering to himself as he gingerly pushes Oral back in the direction of earth, "No, really, you can have him...."
