Retro-Evangelism… Ah, neighbor….
Heh, don’t knock this guy, if it hadn’t been for him we might never have had Benny Hinn. Oh wait, that would be a good thing…. I’m getting so confused.
But retro or not, Angley is still going strong. Check him out at Ernest Angley Ministries. And don’t forget to check the downloads page: You might even find some PETA-safe wallpaper.
Please touch his hand on your monitor,
and report your miracle in comments.

Interesting. I wonder if Ernest has ever asked God for a longer neck.
I wonder who first developed that stereotypical style of over-enunciated preaching. And why is it appealing to anyone? This style is employed by the most questionable guys such as Tilton and Popov too. Jimmy Swaggert had used it albeit toned down. It’s a fascinating style that is mocked by the Simpson’s TV show as Rev. Lovejoy does a deadpan version of it. Who actually talks like that in real life?
Ah the wig, the pink suit, the speech impediment, brings back memories.
good times, good times.
#2: White guys imitating black preachers of the past?
Robin Williams coud do this guy to a T !
In the words of Bullwinkle J Moose:
“I think I shall now be sick”
Raading Tilton, have you seen the “Farting Preacher” clips on YouTube. should tell you all about Tilton.
2 I wonder who first developed that stereotypical style of over-enunciated preaching
I’m trying to remember the Sunday TV preacher I would watch while growing-up.
I remember his name: The Reverend Rex Humbard… I know he had people come down to the stage – where he would place his hand on their head, say a prayer, and shout “Heal!” – as if his personal exhortation was required…;)
He put on a good show. A large stage with a lot of supporting “actors”…
I just can’t remember, for sure, if he over-enunciated – but it seems like he did.
Interesting bit of “6-degrees” trivia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Tomorrow
In the 1990’s, the cathedral was sold to the Reverend Ernest Angley’s ministry, and was rededicated as Grace Cathedral, the name of Angley’s previous house of worship.
I put my hand on the screen and god itself told me all religion was mythological bullshit! Thanks preacher!
Funny to Google Rex Humbard – to make sure I remembered the name correctly – and find something so.. so.. commercial? 😉
http://www.theinnatstonecliffe.com/history.html
In April 1971, Stonecliffe was purchased by television evangelist Reverend Rex Humbard of the Cathedral of Tomorrow for about $3,000,000, and more ski runs were carved out of the 190-acre Stonecliffe property.
Nice to know RevRex was able to cough-up “about” $3M for a ski resort – in 1971 dollars, to boot! 🙂
It is better to give… to my charitable foundation. Its deductable for you, no-strings-attached for me. Win-Win
We did the farting preacher on the blog already..

Brother, I touched my computer monitor and the Emerald Beetle of The Lordeth did appear before me. He gave me the lottery numbers and I won $50!!!
You haven’t experienced healing until you’ve been healed by an atheist. Dark Matter dust available in 1g packets. Send cheques to JimR, Canada. ($19.95 per treatment, limited availability, results may vary).

Oh bull… Where’s the drama? Where’s the theatre?
Where is RevRex’s arm spasm – jolting the believer’s head – [hope it wasn’t a neck injury], while shouting “Heee..al! Heeee..al!”
I worked in an NBC TV affiliate for a couple years, and we would air Tiltons show. We had to tape the feed off satellite at a strange hour and had much fun watching Tiltons antics when the show went to commercial. (its like he had no idea we could see everything during commercial break) , From practicing facial expressions to picking his nose. God, what I wouldnt give to have recorded some of that stuff for google video today.
You’re right Mike. First I need enough donations to afford TV time. My plan is to mix a little nitroglycerine with the dust (Dark Mud?) and fling it at believers who venture on stage. I will yell slogans like:
“Praise the Sludge that made thee! (BOOM)… and “Throw down thy crutches and say baby! (BOOM) say it, say BAAAYYBEEE !!!. (BOOM)
…after all, what are the odds of being crippled AND mute?

How on earth can you sell it so cheaply??? (deep look of amazement on my face) This stuff is fantastic !!! Not only will it cure ingrown toenails, halitosis, and hemorrhoids, but it will get coffee stains off of false teeth.
And isn’t there a discount if I buy three doses at once?
Dig the pink threads. Throw on some jewelry and a grand piano and it’s Liberace all over again!
Well Mr. Fusion, as an atheist it is my moral obligation to only take a little of your money at a a time. From Evangelists like Ernest Angley and Jimmy Swaggart I have learned that patience is a virtue and eventually you’ll see the total wonders of Dark Matter and sign over your… remember me in your will.
Watch for my special next month when I include, with e-ve-ry order, a copy of “Dark Matter: The Revelation”… the complete and GAL-ORRR-I-US story of the night I saw the silhouette if a dark meteor streaking to Earth. Fate tripped me and I fell face first into the Dark Dust that only the MYST-EEERIOUS meteor could have deposited.
I must caution you that your package of Dark Dust may look empty. That is because, as SCIE-YANCE is my witness, Dark Dust can only be seen (and used) in absolute total darkness. Have faith.
The farting preacher was more entertaining. Thank you.
ok i touched the hand… i’m not feeling blessed.
REFUND!!

It’s appealing because it is extremely entertaining. Ernest Angley is the consummate entertainer. I give him an A+ as a preacher. Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton– these are mere amateurs compared to him.
ok i touched the hand… i’m not feeling blessed.
I know the feeling. I touched his hand, but I’m still cranky, actually more cranky than before I touched it.
In today TV culture, it’s all about image, the packaging, the garnish. This guy looks no different then a used car sales man. I am still amused listening and seeing what people do to make a status statement, trophy house, trophy wife, trophy car (Volkswagen commercial has it right: video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5979795156409314717)
Last night I watch how people are lead like lambs to the slaughter with their credit cards. I groups of MBA are hired just to design contractual clauses to entrap people and how people are soo purposely oblivious, it hard to blame the companies.
And here we are mocking this smuck who is probably not that different then half the blaggers here are. Mind you I am not defending him, I am just marveling at this disingenuous pettiness, if only people saw themselves.

God. Do you ever get off the high horse noname?
What wrong with a High Horse Mr Dvorak? Some more High Horsyness, I guess some people just enjoy wallowing in muck.
ye’ll take the high road and
I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye
Do any of you believe in God?
I have been to hundreds of Rev. Angley’s miracle services and have recieved many miracles over many years.
It’s funny to read this blog and marvel at their unbelief.
Jesus made it about as simple as it can be. “Only Believe.”
Doubt is man’s mind set. Man must change to what God said to recieve. I’m glad I changed my mind set and started believing instead of doubting and suffer with my ailments.

It may be funny to joke about Angley, but the truth of the matter is that bad wig or not, he claims to be of God. Please know that in the end times even the ELECT will be deceived…so no bashing the non-Ernest believers. I in no way believe the power of God comes through the airwaves. In fact, I think it is the Devil who has dominion over the airways. Anyway, I touched the hand…no miracles here, either. God’s choicest blessings to all of you!
FOR ME THE MIRACLE IS THAT I HAVE USED TWO BOOKS BY ERNEST ANGLEY.
I NEED YOUR PERMISSIONS TO INCLUDE IT IN MY BOOK, TITLE, WITNESSING.
ONE IS FAITH IN GOD HEALS THE SICK, THE SECOND ONE IS LOVE IS THE ROAD.
KINDLY HELP TO OBTAIN THE PERMISSION AND GO AHEAD TO PUBLISH MY BBOK.
GOD BLESS YOU.
