Andy Im just gonna put this out there - I personally like the audio in your videos lately and the way you do the far-away jump cuts to emphasize things works really well comedically. Keep up the great work man, I really enjoy the videos and have genuine laugh-out-loud moments watching your content👍
The spirit of autism is a small creature with a big head and big eyes. It appeared at the foot of my bed when I was ten at night and said "Spaghetti." I said "Spaghetti." Been autism ever since.
As a former Christian with a lot of disabilities and chronic illnesses, one of the scariest thing about how many people believe in her is that these people absolutely see people's disabilities (that dont get cured) as a moral failing. And they will say it to your face and they will treat you as such.
As a disabled Catholic, learning about liberative disability theology saved my faith, honestly. As every disabled person knows, disability isn’t an “if,” it’s a *when*, and GOD KNOWS THAT TOO!! Disability being a constant in the human experience shows us that disability has always been part of God’s design, that God’s image includes disability. Imani Barbarin wrote about an exchange that moved her even as someone who left the faith, in which she was talking with a reverend and sarcastically said “yes I know I’ll be healed & able to walk without crutches in heaven.” He responded, “If you are made in His image, then you are already whole, so why wouldn’t you use your crutches in Heaven?” Gives me goosebumps even now❤️🩹
@@liketheTaj i’m agnostic myself (ex-christian but open to different spiritual practices as i practice a bit of judaism and indigenous spiritual practices as well) and i like how you explained it, it has to be apart of the ‘design’ it’s scientifically impossible for mistakes in genetic coding to not happen. the human body is so complex so it’s completely expected for mistakes to be made by coding proteins, atoms can only stay stable for so long and telomeres will eventually unravel themselves. it’s just apart of the human experience no one really has a say about it (despite what ableists and health “gurus” think- try to be as fit and healthy as you want disabling conditions still happen)
If faith healing and prosperity gospel are a part of your theology, then you’ll believe that the poor, sick, and disabled are like that because of moral failing as you said. Disgusting
@@liketheTajsounds like they’re pacifying you from wanting more out of this life by promising better in the next, without evidence (former evangelical here).
THIS!! An incredible example of this in media is in Midnight Mass with Leeza Scarborough. She is a young girl in a wheelchair and every single church member views it this way
Wasn't it literally frowned upon by Christians for women to have witch-like powers? Weren't they burned at the stake? We love how society has progressed!
@officerdeathafter doing some quick research I found that your rumor most likely isn't true and unless you can provide a source I want you to know if Andy sees you spreading this he can sue you for defamation.
The woman being “cured” of her schizophrenia really bothered me. The last thing someone with schizophrenia needs is crazy religious stuff to add to any delusions they already have.
My own sister believes that she knows how to deliver people with DID (multiple personalities), telling her um “colleagues” how to go in and clear out demons that each personality has 🙄. She has a high school education but seems to think she’s an authority on complex mental disorders. It’s so dangerous.
@dukedizzy I watched a documentary about evangelical super churches and the "miracles" they perform on stage and some people were pulled out of the line because they had a physical disability or the people vetting thought someone wouldn't fall for the hype on stage and wouldn't perform. Its horrible, even the people who believe it are kept out to keep up the image.
Fr but I swear someone actually made the argument that if a gay person realizing that they are gay, later in life who makes a joke about being a former heterosexual then its possible to be former homosexual 😭
@@Ms_Nobodyyywhen there's one party that's oppressed structurally by the norm/believes of the other party... I don't think a "but what about if it was reversed" makes sense 🤔
@@jonnnnniej Yeah. I know that it doesn’t make sense. The “former heterosexual” part is just a joke because of people saying former homosexual, but they aren’t serious. Its just some idiot taking it the in the sense of seriousness and replying with something like an “oh yeah, then …!” with out realizing that their statement is flawed.
There is basically no such thing as former homosexual or heterosexual as people tend to figure out that those “former” feelings were never really there. Thats when people typically realize that their sexuality is different than they thought. I can’t speak for everyone but in my experience, Im a lesbian who thought I was first straight as a kid, then bisexual. Later once I realized that I liked women, I started to realize that I never actually liked a guy other than a friend way. I was never straight or bisexual, it just took me some time to realize that I was always a lesbian, hence why I don’t label myself a former heterosexual or anything. If you have a different experience, tell me. I just can’t think of any situations that someone would label themselves as “former…(sexuality)”.
@Oleg-Lobkov Well were you actually ever trans then? You just had some gender dysphoria but grew out of it. Thats perfectly normal, but just because you had dysphoria, mean you were transgender. A true trans person is and always will be be trans. If not then they were never actually trans, right?
my mom is this type of christian. i kid you not, these people are real. she's been "delivering" the "spirits" of our homosexuality, autism, adhd, depression, binge eating, black culture/heritage, adoption, bloodlines, physical illnesses, etc. on us (her adopted black children) for OVER A DECADE. ...to say i'm mildly traumatized religiously is the understatement of the century.
@BE-ew2pt i grew up in a (damn near) cult of several white families from the same 2 churches adopting from the same orphanage and only letting us socially interact with those families... long story short, only 1-2 out of the 19(?) families still have good relationships with their black children
My Mom fully believed her Crohn's was cured, but then a flare up happened and she was in denial at first and then devastated. The saddest part is instead of feeling sad that she was deceived, she blamed herself and felt it didn't happen because she wasn't "worthy". She's the most kind hearted and empathetic person I know.
I'm autistic and I grew up in a severely abusive Catholic home... The amount of guilt that filled my body when she claimed her child was cured of autism. That poor baby, I know DAMN WELL his parents are not treating him well, I know that poor kid will suffer. His needs won't be met, his parents think his autism is just gone.. ugh.
When I was around 10, a nice old lady down the street took me and my friend to her church up the street from us. I was Christian but I hated going to church. I saw the priest talking in tongues and making people pass out. I took advantage of this since I was sleepy. I went up to the priest and they spoke in tongues and I 'passed out' I took a nap on the floor until it was time to leave
It's even better when you realize a lot of these nuts don't even speak "in tongues", they just babble the first nonsense that comes to mind. That is quite literally how they were trying to teach me to do it, during some morning prayers. Just "hope everything on camp works out, make sure no one gets sick, gibble di boggle gab". It is extremely laughable, but unfortunately still works on a lot of people.
*cracks knuckles* When I was 11 years old, my aunt took me to her new church. I’d been once or twice before and didn’t like it; the whole vibe of it was off. The people were very weirdly spiritual and not in a good way. At the time, I was severely depressed and that obviously led to a lot of irrational behavior (although as an 11 year old dealing w suicidal thoughts and childhood trauma I did the best I could). My aunt wanted me to get prayed for, which I wasn’t against. Prayer can be extremely helpful in reminding you that you aren’t alone in your struggles. However, she walked me over to an area where people were being laid on the floor and a flag waved over their body. I immediately backed away bc that is super weird and all of a sudden a random dude grabs one of my arms. I said I changed my mind when ANOTHER random person came up and grabbed me. I began to freak out bc I realized I back into a pillar and was completely cornered. I asked, then pleaded to be let go of as being cornered is very triggering for me. My aunt was watching the entire time and did nothing. I had to practically kick them off me and ran outside crying. It was pretty traumatic for me and I never go back there bc why would I attend someplace that doesn’t even respect personal space? The only other time I was there was to babysit for $25 an hour and while I was running around with a toddler I heard a violent almost bloodcurdling scream from where the message was being delivered. Pretty creepy. During those times, I discovered that I had ADHD. I wanted to try medication so I could focus in school. It was interfering with my daily life and making everything so much harder. I brought this up with my ‘parents’ (my great-grandparents) and one of them told me I was just possessed by an evil spirit and it needed to be spiritually counseled out of me. These events collectively discouraged me from Christianity; I still struggle with having faith now. You can have an extremely moving spiritual experience. There’s been times where praying with some friends of mine have brought us all to a river of tears and feeling overwhelmed with joy and relief. Christianity is a perfectly fine religion that is overall pretty positive. It does have a lot of issues like racism within the church, sexual assault, etc. However, I think the biggest problem is making your faith about physical acts and how many people you can force it onto instead of inspiring others by how strong your faith is and showing love to them. Plus calling herself an Apostle, really?! Apostle is a term for the 12 disciples that were present with and chosen by Jesus, not some random lady who wants to be the next Messiah. Thanks to whoever reads my college length essay & feel free to comment any thoughts you have :)
im so sorry u had to go through that. I was orthodox as a child and thankfully the church I went to was never like that. they would never force things on anyone and they would only tell me about the religion when I asked. I think that's how it should be because forcing someone to be religious will never work unless u actually brainwash them which I'm sure is what is happening in this video and to most people who grew up extremely religious.
I’m so sorry..😔 sounds like you’re never going to forget the look on your aunts face and the fear. I can’t imagine what your little 11 year old self went through to where the “Fight or Flight” moment had to kick in. That’s the type of religion that gullible people are being used as targets for pastors, priests and or preachers which absolutely terrifies me. I’m more spiritual and yes, I believe in a higher power that is bigger than we can possibly ever understand yet know it’s there. I’m also part Native American and my mother taught me to give back to Mother Earth and respect all things which provide. Instead of saying “amen” we said “all my relations”. But my other side is Baptist and my Great Grandfather was a Baptist preacher who apparently preached the gospel so loud the neighboring towns could hear his sermons. :) I was baptized in my 30’s and believe everyone should be able to worship however whoever and whenever, but do not shove your beliefs down everyone else’s throats. That’s when things get weird and wrong. Take care everyone, and just be kind. ♥️ Love your babies and one another. Why are people making it so difficult these days to do just that?
Bro I have no idea what to say to this except that I apologize deeply for what happened and that I hope life has gotten better for you and that it continues to get better. I'm not sure if I even have an opinion on this but it just breaks my heart to hear these things happen to someone inflicted upon them by people that could possibly be very mentally unstable and believing things that random people in robes say without thinking twice. Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to say sorry for the things that have happened with religion and people within said religion.
Calling out Scammers is a very necessary thing to do. Also, these "miracles" are either planted people or people caught up in the moment and they never really work. It's awful. The only pastors that are worse than these are Prosperity Preachers.
@@AlexeiX1 Yeah, there's a ton of overlap with prosperity gospel preachers and "faith healers". It might be more accurate to call prosperity preachers a subset of faith healers since faith healing is a part of the word-of-faith doctrine they preach
Why is it that Christianity is so tied to both of these scams? I'm a firm believer and my beliefs are closely tied to Christianity, but these charlatans are a really bad stain on the religion. They do nothing but harm religions, individuals, and society as a whole so how do so many people fall for their BS?
@@bradblumhof6917 from the people I've known that believe the doctrine of the mentioned movements, they're either 1) born into these beliefs and are embedded in communities that reaffirm them (and the preachers utilize manipulative and cult-y abuse tactics to keep them in line), or 2) they're desperate in some way and were in the wrong place at the wrong time and subsequently were emotionally manipulated while caught off-guard
That one kid definitely just stopped showing their mom any signs that they are still autistic bc now they know that their mom hates a significant part of who they are.
She is exactly what the Bible means by "false prophets". If nothing else she uses phrases like "I will heal" which eliminates Jesus in an attempt to get money and fame. But those in desperation are understandably quick to accept any help at all. I pray those people got the help they needed
17:45 Hi! I'm about to trauma dump for a second here don't mind me. In a video on my channel I talk about this briefly, but my mother had schizophrenia. She was prayed over just like this while taking her medication and she stopped taking her medication. She's now dead because she had an episode that caused her to disappear, wonder around the east coast until she was killed after being mugged. This shit literally ruins families. And I hate it so fucking much. If that woman is faking, shame on her. Absolutely shame. But if she really believed she got that healing, I hope and pray she never stops taking her medication. This type of exploitation should be illegal. God this is fucking sick.
Im sorry for your loss. My uncle has schizophrenia, it was really hard seeing him struggle. He’s on his meds again though, so he’s doing better, and I’m thankful every day that nutjobs like that crazy lady didn’t get to him while he was off his meds.
So sorry to hear. Whenever these kinda faith healers talk about mental illnesses as serious as schizophrenia I have a fit. You simply cannot tell them they're "cured" of such conditions, and your story shows the gravity of these practices, it's truly dangerous.
I'm sorry for your loss. My uncle had schizophrenia and disappeared for months when he stopped taking his meds. It's terrifying and I can't imagine how awful that was.
As someone who both has HIV and is devoutly religious, I find this lady’s farce to be disgusting. I’m not one to question another person’s truthfulness in regards to their status, but if the guy had HIV to begin with and he had known about it and been on medication for three years, it would almost certainly be undetectable as Andy said. I hope and pray there’s a cure one day, but just saying a prayer over a person isn’t quite gonna cut it usually in this scenario.
I find it so funny to imagine just being a kid sitting on the couch crisscross applesauce, and your mom just turns to you then says "BEGONE AUTISM YOURE NO LONGER SILLY!"
No seriously, I keep bringing up this topic every time I see a woman speaking or even doing anything authoritative in church, do they even read their own bible
for a full second i did not realize that one of the names of the saints was Paul and I straight up thought you were talking about the city in Minnesota
this feels like the chiropractor near my house that claims their services can cure ADHD, autism, scoliosis, depression, anxiety, dysphoria, and pretty much everything. Makes going to GameStop reeaalllyyyy awkward. Also ma'am its called an algorithm, not the holy spirit.
wow i see a chiropractor occasionally for hypermobile ribs and stuff from my ehler danlos syndrome but damn didn’t know autism and gender dysphoria were stored in the spine /s edit: just in case i know chiropractors can be scammy, believe me i don’t like the practice in general and don’t really recommend it to anyone but i got lucky as my chiropractor also does physical therapy and sports medicine so he doesn’t pull the “you have ghosts in your blood put onions in your socks and let me break your spine about it” on me
The video isn't loading, but I swear if it opens with Andy standing in front of a cardboard cut out of John taffer and then pulling up a greenscreened image of Jesus, I'm going to FLIP 😠
Pretending to cure HIV is actually so dangerous I work in healthcare and there was this person which was under 35 and stopped taking is HIV medication because "God told him so" and his body started giving up since HIV makes your body rly immunocompromised😢 and eventually died months and months later. That segment kinda madd me mad ngl
@alatussimp420 yeah, not only that but something bad. yeah, there are aspects that make life harder but they act like autism is this horrible thing that you should be ashamed of. it's so weird
i watched a livestream from this lady YEARS ago, back in 2020. she was in that outdoor area like she was with the lady who was throwing up. really disturbing. she was delivering a teenage girl from anxiety and you could tell that she didn’t want to be there and didn’t believe. she started crying really hard and saying no, you could tell it was a panic attack. so sad.
@Yazzie1 that's probably how the idea of (driving out) bad spirits started... just people going through different kinds of mental illness. :( it's so sad
I grew up in a Pentecostal church and watched my friend lose her mom because a lady in church convinced her her cancer was “cured” and she refused to continue chemotherapy. Even though I’m still Christian I can never get over the EVIL in telling someone to quit a medication or reject medical attention. Also shoutout to Zoloft to curing the OCD the prayers didn’t stop
I think what frustrates me the most about this is just the way this woman is so blatantly taking advantage of some deeply vulnerable and needy people. Jesus would not be proud.
My stepmom is like this. She made my dad like this too. I could never talk about my mental health at home and was constantly being called manipulative for being depressed and anxious and lazy because I had undiagnosed ADHD. Years later I got to see my own therapist and psychologist and only see my dad alone, he finally believes me about my mental health but now I’m terrified to tell him that I’m trans and so is my partner (who he formally knew as cis) This type of stuff just sucks all the hope out of me. I don’t know what kind of media my dad is consuming and how he views the world but I do know he still thinks “the devil” does all of the bad things that happen to him.
Thank you for calling out people like this Andy. My mom tried forcing me to be cis for years, and it left huge bad effects on me. More people with a platform should call this stuff out. Sincerely, thank you.
Also, just got to the autism part. That makes me mad too wtf. Autism isn't something that needs to be "cured". It's not an illness, it's not a disease.
I'm sorry that you "won" the shitty parent lottery. There's nothing wrong with who you are, the problem is entirely your mom. If she can't appreciate you for the person you are, I hope you are able to surround yourself with people who do.
@@justinwatson1510 Thank you. I'm in a much better place now. I've cut my mom out of my life, and my partner is helping me move past what she put me through.
@@BRIANNA_00 i cut my dad off in 2018 around the time i started hrt & it was the best thing i could've done for my well-being, despite how often people preach about the "importance of family." you're doing what's in your best interest & you deserve better than someone trying to make you into someone you're not. found family is top tier anyways, i wish u the best homie💪
I really appreciated those serious asides you took in this video. It added a welcome dimension to what is always enjoyable content. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that in some future videos.
Jokes aside, the woman “delivered” from schizophrenia is terrifying. If she has any schizo-affective disorders, this is beyond upsetting to say the least.
11:00 There’s a period that HIV is asymptomatic, and it can last for months upon years. It could be that he went through the first part of the timeline of HIV and is now at that stage, where it’s undetectable, but it’ll come back tenfold in several months or a few years. I wish there was a cure that worked as easy as blessing it out of someone- the most common way of ‘curing’ it takes killing off ALL your cells every month for like the rest of your life
Kill every cell in your body every month for the rest of your life? That just sounds like a roundabout way of saying "be dead." Is that why you put 'cure' in quotes?
I didn't know this! And it makes it even sadder to think that when it does come back for that kid, he's probably the one going to be blamed for "not being faithful enough" for God to keep his illness away.
Hi! As someone living w/ HIV - thank you for spreading awareness of U=U but the “it will come back tenfold in a couple years” is blatant misinformation! There is medicine now to keep viral loads suppressed for decades upon decades and there are those living with HIV that are well into their 70-80’s living healthy and vitally suppressed.
(my first comment got deleted) As someone that has been living w/ HIV (undetectable + untransmittable)Thank you for spreading awareness of U=U, but this is MISINFORMATION! With advanced medicine/treatment there have been cases of people living full virally suppressed and HEALTHY lives well into their 70’s - 80’s. Please DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
eughhh ikr, there’s a lot of immune and degenerative conditions that have a prodromal phase like what i have- multiple sclerosis. schizophrenia has a prodromal phase too. it’s just an excuse to say the poor lad didn’t have “enough faith” or “didn’t pray hard enough”. disgusting
my mom tried her best when we were kids, homeschooled “Christians”. our dad worked blue collar labor every single day and our mom would take us to classes ran by churches in south Florida. i will never forget this one church we got involved in, like it was so extreme & since our dad worked & couldn’t always come to service they told me as a kid he was a “non believer” and might not go to heaven. which is crazy to tell a kid. we would have “fire circles” & “soaking” sessions, if you can imagine what that is. men were always above the women, we were “homemakers”. after about 6 years of us going i grew up realizing it was more cult like than about God. so did my mom. i pass by that church and it’s hard to look. many people i know still go.. I explored every religion for years after that, even satanism for a while. now I walk with the Jesus again but we have our own path. i will never let man or religion ruin my relationship with God or family again.
The blonde woman with the heavy makeup writhing around gives me big "Local actress taking this job to impress upon the audience to donate money" vibes to me. In fact, a lot of these people being treated do.
Hi! As a Christian, from one of the "good branches", thank you so much for not hating on all of us! This is quite disgusting what she and what so so many Christian are doing. I absolutely hate people like this that ruin the reputation of being a Christian for all of us. Like you said, truly evil. And from someone who has serious mental health issues and am on medication for them, the fact that they think they can just be healed by some lady yelling at them about the "devil" and Jesus is kind of hilarious.
In all seriousness, my heart broke at 7:00 with that young man talking about losing his father to addiction and how he is now a, “former,” homosexual. I sincerely hope he knows that he can believe in god if that is what brings him peace while also loving who he was born to love. I don’t fully understand how people within the lgbtq+ community can be Christian but I have seen plenty that are and seem to live happy and fulfilling lives. If god is real, he would never send someone to hell for simply loving who they’re meant to. Edit: omg it just gets worse and worse. He thinks he is clean from an incurable disease which means he will not continue taking the meds he needs to live a normal life and not have it progress to aids and he will also spread it more to others thinking he is cured. What this woman is doing is so dangerous. It’s laughable just how ridiculous the situation is but my heart breaks for this young man so much.
I have multiple family members that are sick or died because they refused to treat themselves because "god will cure them" and they just wait until its too late. Its such a sad life to trust these "cure by faith" pastors
as the child of a pastor, he would heavily disagree with majority of what she and other tiktok preachers say. It is not possible for someone to visit heaven, god doesn't give magic healing powers to pastors. its so sad that people fall for this bullcrap because they have nowhere else to turn so they let themselves be manipulated by crazy people.
I grew up in a religious house (pentacoastal christian). People have acted like this and it was always funny. Always especially during song service and they start dancing. Then they get told by a usher to stop
i think the lamp is super iconic to the old Andy set up, like the paintings. and the height is nice too. but if you want to mark a new era, i think the light stick is pretty cool! both of them fit the room really well. thanks Andy!
Honestly thank you i really appreciate you mentioning this is a very complex issue for many many people, as a former* christian myself i find it hard to watch videos about it but you having that disclaimer helped immensely
18:57 this seems like a good thing for a schizophrenic person to be doing. i’m sure the fear of demons and satan makes schizophrenia all the more manageable. 18:57
Faith healing is a whole thing, this lady is far from the only one. I participated in a faith healing/revival tent-themed photoshoot once where I got to do all the fun weird stuff without any of the actual religion. I got to do like 35 trust falls in a row and have my face cradled and water flicked on it. It was so much fun
i just realized one of the few things i hate about being an athiest is the fact that i don't believe in the special place in hell that is reserved for these types of people p.s. Graham 4 president
Maybe Jon should expand his brand by starting a new show called Apostle Rescue and he can scream in this ladies face the way he does for sh#tty bar employees.
I was born with cerebral palsy and when I was 4 my parents claimed god healed me of cerebral palsy 🙃 which led to me living with cerebral palsy without the medical treatments I needed leading to an emergency reconstructive surgery of my leg when I was 18. Brilliant mom and dad. 👎
growing up in a pentecostal church is so wild. while I never witnessed a faith healing sermon, routinely people would interrupt worship to start loudly speaking/praying as if a spirit of god or some other apostle, idk, was speaking through them. or people would start speaking tongues. and it felt so normal until i got a little older and i was like. hm.
I want people considering praying for their sick kids instead of listening to doctors, you should know that when i told my mother i was hallucinating and struggling with paranoid delusions and she asked me if i was sure i wasn't just haunted, i immediately considered her a lost cause. I dealt with homophobia, transphobia, emotional neglect and abuse, and i still considered her my mom and someone i could have a future relationship with. But the moment she dismissed my mental health as ghosts, i stopped.
As a practicing Catholic, I can appreciate that even if you don't agree with the Catholic view of theology, you can see the positives of religion. So many people who convert write off both the concept and all the people who follow Christianity as a whole, and seeing you going the other direction is fantastic.
Growing up with saved parents, seeing people get the Holy Ghost from minimal preaching really freaked me out as a kid and still does to this day. Besides the HIV banishment thing, this was already a problem when she legit just started a church to make money and not pay taxes on the property in the church 😂
Thank you for clarifying about the gentleman who (was/is) HIV+. There is a lot of misconception about HIV and being undetectable, he is most likely undetectable and U=U (undetectable=untramsitable), but yes, you do need to continue to take your medication to remain detectable. If he stops taking his medication, his T cells could increase, he could get sick, and become transmittable again. Just wanted to share this info because folks may not know it/wanted to help debunk stigmas (which I think you did a great job in doing as well).
Hey Andy, i just wanna say that you're genuinely my favourite youtuber. You always make me laugh, and feel better if I'm having a bad day. Thankyou for making such awesome videos and being a cool person :) ❤️
ive been through this on all sides many times and i can say these are meltdowns and breakdowns flavored with group hallucinations and self fulfilling prophecy
am I crazy or does anyone else recognize this lady from a Cody Ko video of a reality show where people had one kiss with a stranger to fall in love? She had her first kiss on it, and this looks exactly like her
I don’t know about that video, but she did start off in commercials and I think she even did a reality show… I cannot say wether she is actually saved, actually covered by the blood of Jesus for her sins, but she is MOST definitely a false teacher, and one way I can say that for sure is she only ever mentions the good things that happen in the book of Acts. She seems to forget all the hatred, persecution, and jail time early Christians faced. I think she’d worry about losing a lot of $$$ if she mentioned that.☺️
There's something chilling about watching bad or crazy people. Its even more chilling when they have the same name as you. Way to represent the Katherines of the world, doing great things for the associations of our names.
do you think she can cure my dad's amputation? like can the spirit of Jesus grow that shit back like a lizard, or would jesus build him a new cyborg leg with his bare hands?
I remember this one video trying to pray away autism acting like it’s the devil, I’m a Christian, however I know people who have autism aren’t demons or are possessed by demons, that’s not how it works

It’s against Christianity for women to preach too ☠️
No, it’s wrong for anybody to do WITCHCRAFT. Basically making deals with demons and spirits in order to get help making things happen in the spiritual
@officerdeathafter doing some quick research I found that your rumor most likely isn't true and unless you can provide a source I want you to know if Andy sees you spreading this he can sue you for defamation.
The woman being “cured” of her schizophrenia really bothered me. The last thing someone with schizophrenia needs is crazy religious stuff to add to any delusions they already have.
My own sister believes that she knows how to deliver people with DID (multiple personalities), telling her um “colleagues” how to go in and clear out demons that each personality has 🙄.
She has a high school education but seems to think she’s an authority on complex mental disorders. It’s so dangerous.

@dukedizzy I watched a documentary about evangelical super churches and the "miracles" they perform on stage and some people were pulled out of the line because they had a physical disability or the people vetting thought someone wouldn't fall for the hype on stage and wouldn't perform.

Fr but I swear someone actually made the argument that if a gay person realizing that they are gay, later in life who makes a joke about being a former heterosexual then its possible to be former homosexual 😭
@@Ms_Nobodyyywhen there's one party that's oppressed structurally by the norm/believes of the other party... I don't think a "but what about if it was reversed" makes sense 🤔
@@jonnnnniej Yeah. I know that it doesn’t make sense. The “former heterosexual” part is just a joke because of people saying former homosexual, but they aren’t serious. Its just some idiot taking it the in the sense of seriousness and replying with something like an “oh yeah, then …!” with out realizing that their statement is flawed.
There is basically no such thing as former homosexual or heterosexual as people tend to figure out that those “former” feelings were never really there. Thats when people typically realize that their sexuality is different than they thought. I can’t speak for everyone but in my experience, Im a lesbian who thought I was first straight as a kid, then bisexual. Later once I realized that I liked women, I started to realize that I never actually liked a guy other than a friend way. I was never straight or bisexual, it just took me some time to realize that I was always a lesbian, hence why I don’t label myself a former heterosexual or anything. If you have a different experience, tell me. I just can’t think of any situations that someone would label themselves as “former…(sexuality)”.
@Oleg-Lobkov Well were you actually ever trans then? You just had some gender dysphoria but grew out of it. Thats perfectly normal, but just because you had dysphoria, mean you were transgender. A true trans person is and always will be be trans. If not then they were never actually trans, right?
my mom is this type of christian. i kid you not, these people are real. she's been "delivering" the "spirits" of our homosexuality, autism, adhd, depression, binge eating, black culture/heritage, adoption, bloodlines, physical illnesses, etc. on us (her adopted black children) for OVER A DECADE.
...to say i'm mildly traumatized religiously is the understatement of the century.
Dude... as someone who comes from this variety of Christianity (I'm agnostic now), the way white people there adopted Black babies felt so sinister.
@BE-ew2pt i grew up in a (damn near) cult of several white families from the same 2 churches adopting from the same orphanage and only letting us socially interact with those families... long story short, only 1-2 out of the 19(?) families still have good relationships with their black children
Ditto. Different but DITTO!

Genuine question, what was she even trying to do when she was praying away heritage? That sounds even more deranged than normal people like this
My Mom fully believed her Crohn's was cured, but then a flare up happened and she was in denial at first and then devastated. The saddest part is instead of feeling sad that she was deceived, she blamed herself and felt it didn't happen because she wasn't "worthy". She's the most kind hearted and empathetic person I know.
That’s so sad😢 my mom also has chrons and those flare ups are no joke. I hope your mom is doing better❤

When I was around 10, a nice old lady down the street took me and my friend to her church up the street from us. I was Christian but I hated going to church. I saw the priest talking in tongues and making people pass out. I took advantage of this since I was sleepy. I went up to the priest and they spoke in tongues and I 'passed out' I took a nap on the floor until it was time to leave
I had a moment like that when I was in church but negative. I had a bad panic attack and they all thought I was getting the Holy Ghost lmao
@@duckduckgoose8049 i remember kinda waking up halfway through and then fell back asleep. I could hear them make similar comments

It's even better when you realize a lot of these nuts don't even speak "in tongues", they just babble the first nonsense that comes to mind.
That is quite literally how they were trying to teach me to do it, during some morning prayers. Just "hope everything on camp works out, make sure no one gets sick, gibble di boggle gab".
It is extremely laughable, but unfortunately still works on a lot of people.
@officerdeathwait, are you the officer death that was arrested for pedophilia? Damn that’s crazy
*cracks knuckles*
When I was 11 years old, my aunt took me to her new church. I’d been once or twice before and didn’t like it; the whole vibe of it was off. The people were very weirdly spiritual and not in a good way. At the time, I was severely depressed and that obviously led to a lot of irrational behavior (although as an 11 year old dealing w suicidal thoughts and childhood trauma I did the best I could). My aunt wanted me to get prayed for, which I wasn’t against. Prayer can be extremely helpful in reminding you that you aren’t alone in your struggles. However, she walked me over to an area where people were being laid on the floor and a flag waved over their body. I immediately backed away bc that is super weird and all of a sudden a random dude grabs one of my arms. I said I changed my mind when ANOTHER random person came up and grabbed me. I began to freak out bc I realized I back into a pillar and was completely cornered. I asked, then pleaded to be let go of as being cornered is very triggering for me. My aunt was watching the entire time and did nothing. I had to practically kick them off me and ran outside crying. It was pretty traumatic for me and I never go back there bc why would I attend someplace that doesn’t even respect personal space? The only other time I was there was to babysit for $25 an hour and while I was running around with a toddler I heard a violent almost bloodcurdling scream from where the
message was being delivered. Pretty creepy.
During those times, I discovered that I had ADHD. I wanted to try medication so I could focus in school. It was interfering with my daily life and making everything so much harder. I brought this up with my ‘parents’ (my great-grandparents) and one of them told me I was just possessed by an evil spirit and it needed to be spiritually counseled out of me. These events collectively discouraged me from Christianity; I still struggle with having faith now.
You can have an extremely moving spiritual experience. There’s been times where praying with some friends of mine have brought us all to a river of tears and feeling overwhelmed with joy and relief. Christianity is a perfectly fine religion that is overall pretty positive. It does have a lot of issues like racism within the church, sexual assault, etc. However, I think the biggest problem is making your faith about physical acts and how many people you can force it onto instead of inspiring others by how strong your faith is and showing love to them.
Plus calling herself an Apostle, really?! Apostle is a term for the 12 disciples that were present with and chosen by Jesus, not some random lady who wants to be the next Messiah. Thanks to whoever reads my college length essay & feel free to comment any thoughts you have :)
im so sorry u had to go through that. I was orthodox as a child and thankfully the church I went to was never like that. they would never force things on anyone and they would only tell me about the religion when I asked. I think that's how it should be because forcing someone to be religious will never work unless u actually brainwash them which I'm sure is what is happening in this video and to most people who grew up extremely religious.
I’m so sorry..😔 sounds like you’re never going to forget the look on your aunts face and the fear. I can’t imagine what your little 11 year old self went through to where the “Fight or Flight” moment had to kick in. That’s the type of religion that gullible people are being used as targets for pastors, priests and or preachers which absolutely terrifies me. I’m more spiritual and yes, I believe in a higher power that is bigger than we can possibly ever understand yet know it’s there. I’m also part Native American and my mother taught me to give back to Mother Earth and respect all things which provide. Instead of saying “amen” we said “all my relations”. But my other side is Baptist and my Great Grandfather was a Baptist preacher who apparently preached the gospel so loud the neighboring towns could hear his sermons. :) I was baptized in my 30’s and believe everyone should be able to worship however whoever and whenever, but do not shove your beliefs down everyone else’s throats. That’s when things get weird and wrong. Take care everyone, and just be kind. ♥️ Love your babies and one another. Why are people making it so difficult these days to do just that?
What church are you going to that has racism? I'm from the deep south and we have lots of southern baptist churches with all races as members.
Bro I have no idea what to say to this except that I apologize deeply for what happened and that I hope life has gotten better for you and that it continues to get better. I'm not sure if I even have an opinion on this but it just breaks my heart to hear these things happen to someone inflicted upon them by people that could possibly be very mentally unstable and believing things that random people in robes say without thinking twice. Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to say sorry for the things that have happened with religion and people within said religion.
It only takes a little faith to move a mountain.
Stay strong
Calling out Scammers is a very necessary thing to do. Also, these "miracles" are either planted people or people caught up in the moment and they never really work. It's awful. The only pastors that are worse than these are Prosperity Preachers.
Whosat
theyre not necessarily mutually exclusive
@@AlexeiX1 Yeah, there's a ton of overlap with prosperity gospel preachers and "faith healers". It might be more accurate to call prosperity preachers a subset of faith healers since faith healing is a part of the word-of-faith doctrine they preach
Why is it that Christianity is so tied to both of these scams? I'm a firm believer and my beliefs are closely tied to Christianity, but these charlatans are a really bad stain on the religion. They do nothing but harm religions, individuals, and society as a whole so how do so many people fall for their BS?
@@bradblumhof6917 from the people I've known that believe the doctrine of the mentioned movements, they're either 1) born into these beliefs and are embedded in communities that reaffirm them (and the preachers utilize manipulative and cult-y abuse tactics to keep them in line), or 2) they're desperate in some way and were in the wrong place at the wrong time and subsequently were emotionally manipulated while caught off-guard

Hi! I'm about to trauma dump for a second here don't mind me.
In a video on my channel I talk about this briefly, but my mother had schizophrenia. She was prayed over just like this while taking her medication and she stopped taking her medication. She's now dead because she had an episode that caused her to disappear, wonder around the east coast until she was killed after being mugged.
This shit literally ruins families. And I hate it so fucking much. If that woman is faking, shame on her. Absolutely shame. But if she really believed she got that healing, I hope and pray she never stops taking her medication. This type of exploitation should be illegal. God this is fucking sick.
I am so sorry for your loss
Im sorry for your loss. My uncle has schizophrenia, it was really hard seeing him struggle. He’s on his meds again though, so he’s doing better, and I’m thankful every day that nutjobs like that crazy lady didn’t get to him while he was off his meds.
So sorry to hear. Whenever these kinda faith healers talk about mental illnesses as serious as schizophrenia I have a fit. You simply cannot tell them they're "cured" of such conditions, and your story shows the gravity of these practices, it's truly dangerous.
Im so sorry
I'm sorry for your loss. My uncle had schizophrenia and disappeared for months when he stopped taking his meds. It's terrifying and I can't imagine how awful that was.
As someone who both has HIV and is devoutly religious, I find this lady’s farce to be disgusting. I’m not one to question another person’s truthfulness in regards to their status, but if the guy had HIV to begin with and he had known about it and been on medication for three years, it would almost certainly be undetectable as Andy said. I hope and pray there’s a cure one day, but just saying a prayer over a person isn’t quite gonna cut it usually in this scenario.
"Usually in this scenario" never fixes it prayer doesn't help anything

I grew up in a Pentecostal church and watched my friend lose her mom because a lady in church convinced her her cancer was “cured” and she refused to continue chemotherapy. Even though I’m still Christian I can never get over the EVIL in telling someone to quit a medication or reject medical attention. Also shoutout to Zoloft to curing the OCD the prayers didn’t stop
I think what frustrates me the most about this is just the way this woman is so blatantly taking advantage of some deeply vulnerable and needy people. Jesus would not be proud.
My stepmom is like this. She made my dad like this too. I could never talk about my mental health at home and was constantly being called manipulative for being depressed and anxious and lazy because I had undiagnosed ADHD. Years later I got to see my own therapist and psychologist and only see my dad alone, he finally believes me about my mental health but now I’m terrified to tell him that I’m trans and so is my partner (who he formally knew as cis) This type of stuff just sucks all the hope out of me. I don’t know what kind of media my dad is consuming and how he views the world but I do know he still thinks “the devil” does all of the bad things that happen to him.

Jokes aside, the woman “delivered” from schizophrenia is terrifying. If she has any schizo-affective disorders, this is beyond upsetting to say the least.
11:00 There’s a period that HIV is asymptomatic, and it can last for months upon years. It could be that he went through the first part of the timeline of HIV and is now at that stage, where it’s undetectable, but it’ll come back tenfold in several months or a few years. I wish there was a cure that worked as easy as blessing it out of someone- the most common way of ‘curing’ it takes killing off ALL your cells every month for like the rest of your life
Kill every cell in your body every month for the rest of your life? That just sounds like a roundabout way of saying "be dead." Is that why you put 'cure' in quotes?
I didn't know this! And it makes it even sadder to think that when it does come back for that kid, he's probably the one going to be blamed for "not being faithful enough" for God to keep his illness away.
Hi! As someone living w/ HIV - thank you for spreading awareness of U=U but the “it will come back tenfold in a couple years” is blatant misinformation!
There is medicine now to keep viral loads suppressed for decades upon decades and there are those living with HIV that are well into their 70-80’s living healthy and vitally suppressed.
(my first comment got deleted) As someone that has been living w/ HIV (undetectable + untransmittable)Thank you for spreading awareness of U=U, but this is MISINFORMATION! With advanced medicine/treatment there have been cases of people living full virally suppressed and HEALTHY lives well into their 70’s - 80’s. Please DO YOUR RESEARCH!!
eughhh ikr, there’s a lot of immune and degenerative conditions that have a prodromal phase like what i have- multiple sclerosis. schizophrenia has a prodromal phase too. it’s just an excuse to say the poor lad didn’t have “enough faith” or “didn’t pray hard enough”. disgusting
my mom tried her best when we were kids, homeschooled “Christians”. our dad worked blue collar labor every single day and our mom would take us to classes ran by churches in south Florida. i will never forget this one church we got involved in, like it was so extreme & since our dad worked & couldn’t always come to service they told me as a kid he was a “non believer” and might not go to heaven. which is crazy to tell a kid. we would have “fire circles” & “soaking” sessions, if you can imagine what that is. men were always above the women, we were “homemakers”. after about 6 years of us going i grew up realizing it was more cult like than about God. so did my mom. i pass by that church and it’s hard to look. many people i know still go.. I explored every religion for years after that, even satanism for a while. now I walk with the Jesus again but we have our own path. i will never let man or religion ruin my relationship with God or family again.

Hi! As a Christian, from one of the "good branches", thank you so much for not hating on all of us! This is quite disgusting what she and what so so many Christian are doing. I absolutely hate people like this that ruin the reputation of being a Christian for all of us. Like you said, truly evil. And from someone who has serious mental health issues and am on medication for them, the fact that they think they can just be healed by some lady yelling at them about the "devil" and Jesus is kind of hilarious.
Idk. If there needs to be "good branches" because 99 percent of the other branches are pure evil, isn't that saying something?
In all seriousness, my heart broke at 7:00 with that young man talking about losing his father to addiction and how he is now a, “former,” homosexual. I sincerely hope he knows that he can believe in god if that is what brings him peace while also loving who he was born to love. I don’t fully understand how people within the lgbtq+ community can be Christian but I have seen plenty that are and seem to live happy and fulfilling lives. If god is real, he would never send someone to hell for simply loving who they’re meant to.
Edit: omg it just gets worse and worse. He thinks he is clean from an incurable disease which means he will not continue taking the meds he needs to live a normal life and not have it progress to aids and he will also spread it more to others thinking he is cured. What this woman is doing is so dangerous. It’s laughable just how ridiculous the situation is but my heart breaks for this young man so much.
I have multiple family members that are sick or died because they refused to treat themselves because "god will cure them" and they just wait until its too late. Its such a sad life to trust these "cure by faith" pastors
as the child of a pastor, he would heavily disagree with majority of what she and other tiktok preachers say. It is not possible for someone to visit heaven, god doesn't give magic healing powers to pastors. its so sad that people fall for this bullcrap because they have nowhere else to turn so they let themselves be manipulated by crazy people.

I was born with cerebral palsy and when I was 4 my parents claimed god healed me of cerebral palsy 🙃 which led to me living with cerebral palsy without the medical treatments I needed leading to an emergency reconstructive surgery of my leg when I was 18. Brilliant mom and dad. 👎
growing up in a pentecostal church is so wild. while I never witnessed a faith healing sermon, routinely people would interrupt worship to start loudly speaking/praying as if a spirit of god or some other apostle, idk, was speaking through them. or people would start speaking tongues. and it felt so normal until i got a little older and i was like. hm.
THE SPIRIT OF AUTISM!?!?!?!
If I was at my wedding and Andy uploaded a video right in the middle of it, I’d drop everything to watch.
i am always hungering for more of andy king videos
THE JON TAFFER CUTOUT LMAO
Hearing someone say “I am a former homosexual” is actually so saddening.
I've got a profoundly autistic kiddo, and I swear I'd end up in jail if someone said that shit to my face.
I want people considering praying for their sick kids instead of listening to doctors, you should know that when i told my mother i was hallucinating and struggling with paranoid delusions and she asked me if i was sure i wasn't just haunted, i immediately considered her a lost cause.
I dealt with homophobia, transphobia, emotional neglect and abuse, and i still considered her my mom and someone i could have a future relationship with. But the moment she dismissed my mental health as ghosts, i stopped.
As a practicing Catholic, I can appreciate that even if you don't agree with the Catholic view of theology, you can see the positives of religion. So many people who convert write off both the concept and all the people who follow Christianity as a whole, and seeing you going the other direction is fantastic.
13:15 as someone with autism I think most of us don’t want to be cured and the fact that people constantly try to cure us makes me so mad
Growing up with saved parents, seeing people get the Holy Ghost from minimal preaching really freaked me out as a kid and still does to this day. Besides the HIV banishment thing, this was already a problem when she legit just started a church to make money and not pay taxes on the property in the church 😂
Religious extremism of any kind is so volatile
Me and my spirit of autism are actually very close. Been offered to have it banished but genuinely one of my closest friends.
Sometimes it’s the only friend that understands you as well.
Thank you for clarifying about the gentleman who (was/is) HIV+. There is a lot of misconception about HIV and being undetectable, he is most likely undetectable and U=U (undetectable=untramsitable), but yes, you do need to continue to take your medication to remain detectable. If he stops taking his medication, his T cells could increase, he could get sick, and become transmittable again. Just wanted to share this info because folks may not know it/wanted to help debunk stigmas (which I think you did a great job in doing as well).
How are you gonna tell someone they’re free from HIV when you’re not their doctor. Wth…. 🤦♀️
I remember when I first saw the spirit of autism. I was walking down the street when I encountered it and it attacked me. Been autism since then
being cured of autism is actually insane
I appreciate the room updates and the lamp
I, for one, pray to the autism spirit. All hail the autism spirit 🙌
I for one, will write a silly haiku about the autism spirit.
Woo ~autism spirit~ 🫶
I yearn to understand you. 🐔
Yes, autism is cool! 😎
Amen!
Love that you can see john looking over your shoulder when your in the cloud @7:39
As someone who was raised in churches that operated similar to this, I low-key got some PTSD from those videos
Hey Andy, i just wanna say that you're genuinely my favourite youtuber. You always make me laugh, and feel better if I'm having a bad day. Thankyou for making such awesome videos and being a cool person :) ❤️
The John Taffer in the background is scaring me- he looks so real
ive been through this on all sides many times and i can say these are meltdowns and breakdowns flavored with group hallucinations and self fulfilling prophecy
am I crazy or does anyone else recognize this lady from a Cody Ko video of a reality show where people had one kiss with a stranger to fall in love? She had her first kiss on it, and this looks exactly like her
the lady from the Cody Ko video calls herself Kat, oh my god I think this is her
I don’t know about that video, but she did start off in commercials and I think she even did a reality show…
I cannot say wether she is actually saved, actually covered by the blood of Jesus for her sins, but she is MOST definitely a false teacher, and one way I can say that for sure is she only ever mentions the good things that happen in the book of Acts.
She seems to forget all the hatred, persecution, and jail time early Christians faced.
I think she’d worry about losing a lot of $$$ if she mentioned that.☺️
It is her omg. Seems like she’s an actress. 🙄 what a shitty grifting weirdo.
it is in fact her on that show, the podcast Oh No! Ross & Carrie did several episodes about her and this is part of her backstory
@@zapuruxo cant believe this is what no kisses does to a mfer 😭
There's something chilling about watching bad or crazy people. Its even more chilling when they have the same name as you. Way to represent the Katherines of the world, doing great things for the associations of our names.
do you think she can cure my dad's amputation? like can the spirit of Jesus grow that shit back like a lizard, or would jesus build him a new cyborg leg with his bare hands?
Have to be a wooden leg, Jesus was a carpenter
Hoping Andy doesn't get prayed away 🙏
I’m naming my plane “The Sprit of Autism”
I remember this one video trying to pray away autism acting like it’s the devil, I’m a Christian, however I know people who have autism aren’t demons or are possessed by demons, that’s not how it works
