Want the holy ghost in you? Feeling possessed by one of those pesky gay demons? Well, you might be in luck. All you need is a little help from the friendly folks at Manifested Glory Ministries of Bridgeport, Connecticut. After all, they helped someone out recently. The church held an exorcism to rid a teen boy of his homosexuality, hence equating it with demonic possession.
Reverend Patricia McKinney and her cult… I mean congregation… performed what they called a “casting out of spirits” (because she thinks the ‘exorcism’ label isn’t accurate) three separate times on a 16-year-old boy (the reverend claimed he was 18) at his request. he writhed on the floor, vomiting up the “evil”, while onlookers made such priceless statements as “Loose your grip, Lucifer!” and “Right now in the name of Jesus, I call the homosexuality, right now in the name of Jesus!“
When did homosexuality suddenly become an object or energy? I missed that memo.
So, what do you to when you get rid of the “homosexuality demon”? You post it on YouTube, of course! I guess they figured they already had a website and the best way to scare the hell out of people (no pun intended) is to be were the action is. Activist groups and citizens are up in arms about the video, since taken down by the flock. But the church stands by their actions. McKinney, who calls herself a “prophet”, told the press, “”Every Sunday we call people up to the altar who want to be delivered from any spirit that causes them to not be able to function. We were just beginning to worship the Lord and all of a sudden he hit the floor.”
“Manifested Glory Ministries is not against homosexuality. We do not hate them,” the reverend said. “We do not come up against them. We do just not believe in their lifestyle.” I’m sure it makes sense to someone. Is that anything like a double negative?
And did their purging work? According to the executive director of True Colors, Robin McHeavin, the boy told their organization he has since been “engaging in risky behavior”. I guess if you take something out of someone, you just have to put it back in.
This is actual footage from the “exorcism”:
