Texe Marrs has been following the antics of pastors and churches for over thirty-five years. He regularly reports the more intriguing cases on his weekly radio program. Now he opens his case files to allow you, the reader, to discover just how bizarre and ungodly America's pastors really are. There's the naked pastor who preaches to an all nude congregation, and the famous evangelist who demands young men get a vasectomy, then personally examines their genitals. Read about the wild pastor who claims Jesus came to him dressed as a fireman. Revel over the pastor who seriously says he is the reincarnated "Jesus" and wants his entire congregation to take a 666 tattoo. You'll find out about the pastor who says Judas got a raw deal and is now in heaven. And, the raucous evangelist who screams at and kicks people, belches loudly, spouts profanity, and beds church women. There is the "Hookers for Jesus" group and the churches that teach women how to pole dance. At one large church in Chicago, a woman wearing a skimpy bikini walks a high-up tightrope. You'll also be introduced to Pigalle, painted pink, where four transvestites dressed as nuns greet visitors. You will meet Duck Dynasty's stars who claim to be Christian, but what about those Masonic hand and body signs? One top TV evangelist claims Jesus and Red China's communist butcher, Mao Tse Tung, believed exactly alike. Meanwhile, there's the woman pastor who, at worship services, distributes free condoms to her congregation. These wild and outrageous pastors and churches are prime evidence that the Christian establishment has gone berserk. It's no wonder that one pastor recently resigned from the pulpit, exclaiming, "I'm fleeing the madhouse." Book jacket.
