One thing we should not forget, she was originally involved with hospice care. Those involved with hospice care look after terminally ill people. Not even modern medical care would be able to save their lives.

The care in these facilitates were questionable as its noted by people who attended these facilitates as outside observers. The idea of these people who were terminally ill but were not given proper medical aid but instead were given a chance to make a conversion and vow to Jesus Christ, tells a tale of exploitation of these vulnerable people, distinctly separate from the money issue altogether.

Wow Fonkelstein that video is amazing. How the world has changed in twenty years! Anti-evolution, HIV is a judgement from God, atheists are communist murderers, TV show The Simpsons is evil, the whole thing. It's like an eerie time capsule.
At 102 minutes the thuggish clown declared that "culture and history is not going your way". Man was he wrong!

Agree Slim , things are changing fast, secular awareness to social matters is evolving on a unparalleled rate.
The probable cause for most religious institutions losing their following adherents around the world.
I still think we should have open unregulated opinions on matters concerning social issues, even those from rigidly structured religious institutions.

"It's so beautiful to see the people die"
Wouldn't be more of a beautiful thing to see people get proper medical care and not dying or at least receiving medication for lessening their suffering ?
Like to her it was more important for people to be saved by Jesus so they can enter heaven than actually saving their lives.
Yes come to MT's hospice care facilities you wont get modern medical attention but you'll get personal salvation.
MT seemed to put forth spiritual salvation in front of medical care, upholding her own religious convictions and that of the Church's and maybe exploiting the most vulnerable people she could find to accomplish this endeavor.
Not to undermine the help those care facilities did offer.

Even from a JW position, I always credited MT for helping people but the posted vids show a different picture of MT as someone who idolized poverty, sickness and death as blessings and used such people to get fame, money and to promote her agenda but not to alleviate suffering from the lives of the afflicted people who's image she was using to benefit her personal agenda-at least that is what the posted vids seem to show me. It appears that her survival and fame and the survival of her cause and mission and calling depended on having the the image associated with death and suffering and she could only remain in business just as long as human suffering remained, like an angel of death is only needed for the purpose of the death, therefore, what the vids appear to show is that she did very little to fight poverty and to help the sick and dying in a material way, which was her business, and which is what money does and she made millions but did not use the money for that purpose..

To justify her sainthood they used the example of a woman who claimed that MT cured her tumor by placing her religious metual on it. The only problem is that at least one doctor who treated her claimed that it was not a tumor, but a cyst, so not so miraculous after all. You would think that if she had even minor faith healing abilities they could come up with better examples than that.
But then why should the church question things too much, creating a saint is a sure money making proposition.

It's easy to forget just how publicly moralistic and self-righteous Catholic leaders were until very recently. How they blamed homosexuals and TV and liberals for every bad thing in the world and acted like they themselves could do no wrong. I guess it's the abuse scandals rather than a genuine change of heart that shut them up.
Who on earth is this Donahue and is he still at it?
