Resurrecting 'Marjoe'


The American Prospect has a short article about the Academy Award winning documentary Marjoe. This was about a famous young faith healing evangelical preacher Marjoe who came clean. It's all a scam based on tricks and basic psychology.

I had heard about the film and national magazines had articles but never saw it. It turns out the distributor was afraid to show it in the South. Finally it is being shown again and also being released on DVD.

Here is an interview with Marjoe about sudden personality change, the Holy Spirit, and the power of rhetoric.
