IN THE NAME OF GOD YOU ARE HEALED

There are a number of crooks abound the world over, who even portray to perform miracles on TV. Everything that these crooks do is staged to dupe the attending public and TV watchers.  These preachers doing the work of God live in great luxury and own dozens of expensive cars while their sheep live moderately or in poverty after donating their monies to these fake scoundrels.  Sometimes, it is astonishing why governments do not go after these crooks. The greatest challenge posed to these wolves in sheep clothing is to visit hospitals and perform miracles. There are also other con artists who fleece you in with God's prayers.

When someone retires, at 60, 62, or 65, they are joining the near dead, those lining up to die soon.  Unavoidable as death is to taxes, death is an unavoidable biological process. What must we do, just wait to die?  Unfortunately, death is everywhere and come too early to some people.  UN staffs working in difficult duty stations that are in either famine or war are well aware of the near dead, not retirees, but innocent children and young mothers and fathers.  Therefore, death is everywhere, but people do not want to die other than in fanaticism.
