Fake Christian Minister - Billy Burke
I've been watching a series of videos about prosperity gospel preachers, every one of them a fake. Then one came up by the name of Billy Burke. It instantly aroused the anger in me.
I attended a Black church in Maryland for six nights at the recommendation of a friend because Billy Burke was coming to lead a revival. Burke bragged about his expensive shoes, and held up a foot to let us all see. He said he deserves them. During the final night's service, a basket was passed around for the collection. Burke asked the minister how much was collected. When she told him, he held up his hands and ordered the music to stop. He said the giving was pathetic and ordered the basket to be sent around, again. When that collection was done, again he asked the minister how much was collected. When she told him, he went into a rage and said that he doesn't need the money but we were all robbing God. It was a poor community, and people had planned on what they could afford to give. Burke insulted and hurt them. He is a most vile man, not a man of God.
Before that final night I had given him a check for $100 for two audio tapes, and asked to be put on his mailing list. He sent me two of his schedules too late to attend, then they stopped coming. When I listened to the tapes, he went on a rant about people who own weapons such as knives. He said that weapons attract demons. It was then I realized what a big fraud he was, ripping people off who couldn't afford to donate three times during a service. And, of course, the usual charade with people being pushed to the floor to get the gift of tongues. Demons are not attracted to weapons, but it showed how Burke was paranoid about such things. Totally a false preacher! I suppose the experience was valuable in learning about the frauds who pretend to be ministers. And there are others that I could tell about.
