This here is the worst kind of wolf. But then again, some of the blame has to fall on the sheep hes deceiving, for not knowing their Bibles.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

Preacher Promises Miracles For Sleeping With Jesus Picture, Donating
Rev. Jim Whittington Jailed in 1990s For Stealing Nearly $1 Million From Widow

Televangelist Rev. Jim Whittington promises a "big financial blessing" to those who sleep with a picture of Jesus and send donations to his World Deliverance Crusade ministry. But CBS Atlanta is asking questions about how that money is being spent, after it learned the preacher was jailed, convicted of stealing from a disabled widow.

On his weekly program, Whittington, 70, is seen ministering to people in the Caribbean. He offers to send a blessed prayer cloth to viewers who call his office in Carroll County.

CBS Atlanta reporter Jeff Chirico requested the holy handkerchief. It arrived with a copy of what is described as a picture of Jesus and a letter. The letter, addressed to "friend and prayer partner Jeff," predicts it is "the time and season for you to receive special miracles from the Lord." It instructs Chirico to "sleep with this picture (of Jesus) within reach of you tonight." The letter which includes Whittington's copied signature asks for "at least $41 to help this ministry." In return, the donor will receive a "big financial blessing" in the very near future.

When questioned at his office, Whittington became defensive and doubted whether Chirico could receive blessings because of his "attitude."

"Who made you the judge who can come out here and critique my ministry?" asked Whittington.
