A mixture of feelings really.
1. Anger -...Hi Danny,<br />A mixture of feelings really.<br />1. Anger - at the hypocrisy and self righteous attitude of these faith healers.<br />2. Incredulity - at the gullibility and lack of any critical thinking skills by their victims.<br />3. Suspicion - that these people were there simply to recruit new converts.<br />4. Concern - that people may not get real medical help if they believed God would heal them.<br />5. Irritation - that the same organisation has been told not to do this by the Advertising Standards Authority.<br />6. Worry - that the religious right are dragging us back into the Dark Ages.<br />7. Apprehension - That we will see Benny Hinn or Peter Popoff in this country.<br />8. Consolation - tat they're not doing this for money up front.<br /><br />However, Advertising cures for Cancer is illegal in this country unless you are medically qualified to do so. So I dropped a quick heads-up to the ASA. These people have already been banned from making medical claims to possible vulnerable members of the public. They've chosen to ignore the ASA adjudication. I think they need a little reminder that they're not above the law because of their beliefs.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401816913260802186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611924288667350849.post-54057158642225317342012-06-21T11:09:45.034+01:002012-06-21T11:09:45.034+01:00How did it make you feel?

You were spot on about their lack of apparent interest in using their "prayer chairs" at the hospital.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807871189539393413noreply@blogger.com
