And I'm sure they do go to hospitals. Haven't you ever seen clergy in a hospital or nursing home?

I know a person who has the gift of healing, and have been healed by him several times. John, my bf has layed his hands on my head (I get chronic headaches) and I've felt my headache leave my head almost instantaniously. It's not worked every time, but more than not.

I don't associate with miss cleo or any other nut that's offering to give me information I already know.

I'm not a huge believer in televangelists and faith healers to even start this argument anyway Monkey. This is NOT one of my buttons so to speak.

Benny Hinn??? ROTFLMAO! This rip-off shyster has been de-bunked long ago.

Be careful of what you call "documented". And testimonies are fairly worthless. If I believe you when you say you were healed, I'd have to believe my neighbour who says he was abducted by aliens. Did you not receive medical attention when you were in your accident? Of course you did. Did you pull through, against the odds? Obviously. You attribute this to the supernatural? You could if you went to a church instead of a hospital but, fortunately, that ain't the case. BTW, last month a 4 year old boy was killed after coming out of his church and was struck by a car. Need I say more?
