Just outside of Tulsk, as part of the Rathcroghan royal complex, sits the holy well of Ogulla. This place has been a sacred site well back into pagan times, and so of course has been coopted by the Catholic church. This, however, did nothing to diminish the powerful experience I […]

The Truth Apostolic Church in Madisonville, KY is having a very bad week. Not only did their pastor, Michael Orten, hire a convicted child rapist and put him on the “outreach team” where he (among other things) runs the Bus Ministry (which gives children a ride to Sunday School) he doubled down […]

I discovered this gem while researching for my article on Lee Stoneking lying to the United Nations. Seems his “miraculous healing” isn’t all that Stoneking likes to play loosie-truthies with. That story could (if you’re feeling really generous) be labeled a (gross, extreme, huge) exaggeration. This one, however… not so […]

In case you missed it, UPC superstar evangelist Lee Stoneking spoke to the UN toward the end of April. And totally exaggerated, misrepresented, and LIED about his infamous (inside the UPC) testimony about being miraculously healed from a heart attack. If you haven’t read it, please do. So I have a […]
