We, the undersigned, object to the so-called ministry of TV evangelist, Reverend Peter Popoff - in both theology and practice. Despite this man being publically outed as a fraud by James Randi some years ago, Peter Popoff is back in business, making a huge amount of money by misleading the poor and vulnerable - and daring to do so in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We the undersigned find Popoff\'s ministry and lifestyle biblically, morally and ethically objectional, and thoroughly reprehensible. We ask that Christians refuse to support this man any longer financially, or in word or spirit - until the unlikely event he publically repents for his lies, greed, underhand practices and his preaching of a false prosperity message, and proves to the world he has changed. We further ask that Television Broadcasters and/or watchdogs will shut down his television ministry (in all nations) and that all Christian television or media refuses to continue to publicise this man or his ministry, as the ministry is based on fraud, deceit and false advertising. We also ask governmental authorities to pull the ministry up for deceitful ongoing practices: including but not limited to the personalised chain letters sent out in bulk, making misleading decietful claims to be special revelations for only that recipient, and promising earthly riches, health or other blessing in return for a financial \'seed\' donation, and the dubious religious relics - holy mineral water, miracle manna, sacred salt etc his ministry applies misleading claims to. Not only do we feel that he brazenly misleads the public as to the true source for the salt and mineral water etc, but we feels it encourages superstition and pagan belief rather than true faith in God. We call on Peter Popoff and his associates to publically repent before God of charlatanism in the name of Jesus Christ, to stop preaching a false prosperity message for his own gain, and to stop living a glutinous and luxurious lifestyle, and to instead start living a life to glorify God and spread the true gospel. God will not be mocked. This petition will be forwarded to Reverand Popoff and other parties including the Charities Commission, Senator Grassley, TV watchdogs etc.

I really never pictured this many people feeling the same heat over these scams but here we are and it is honestly wild to see the momentum building like this. It makes me think about those ridiculous chain letters again and how they somehow keep landing in mailboxes despite everything we already know about how he operates. We need to keep this energy moving until someone actually pays attention to the mess he is making on national television.

I am not a christian just a decent human being who doesn't like to see desperate people led down the rosy path.

Repeated offences and still on the air. He is a complete fraud taking money from innocent elderly. He should be in prison.

This is disgraceful! And it is sad that there are still people ignorant or desperate enough to give this man money. And he now more than ever seems to be targeting the African-American( especially the elderly) church going community. This strikes of a particulary cynical form of racism, not to mention elder abuse! BET should be shamed into throwing the fox into the chicken coup for it's 30 pieces of silver.

I can't believe he deceives people into thinking everyone will get "thousands of dollars and debt free". Never any explication either. Just a "miracle" of money. I wish people were smarter and could see though this guy and practice real Christianity . So sad.

This charlatan is dangerous because of what he claims and desperate people hope what he offers may be true. He is evil personified and I wish there was a God that would call him to judgement but he knows one doesn't exist which is why he can ply his evil trade in the knowledge there will be no consequence for him unlike the poor people he deceives.

I am saddened & disappointed that this con artist is still allowed air time to scam people! I hope interest in this concern is rejuvenated and others join this cause!
