Marjoe Gortner-copilul predicator penticostal
Hugh Marjoe Ross Gortner, generally known as Marjoe Gortner (born January 14, 1944 (1944-01-14) (age 66) in Long Beach, California), is a former revivalist who first gained a certain fame in the late 1940s and early to mid 1950s when he became the youngest ordained preacher at the age of four, and then outright notoriety in the 1970s when he starred in an Oscar-winning, behind-the-scenes documentary about the lucrative business of Pentecostal preaching. The name "Marjoe" is a portmanteau of the names "Mary" and "Joseph".

Creeeeepy. Reminds me of "Children of the Corn".
ReplyDeleteSince when is screaming into a microphone considered "preaching"? Sounds psychotic to me.
Not so "by-gone" really, people are still being swindled by the same schtick every Sunday.
ReplyDeleteA sucker born every minute. It really is a circus. I've seen mosh pits at a Slayer concert that were less bizarre than some of the stuff I've seen at various religious festivals. Jesus Camp, anyone?
Haven't seen any 4 year old preachers lately, if you have, please forward that info to me!!!
ReplyDeleteI have no dog in the fight when it comes to religion.
I consider myself a Spiritual Being which means different things to different people.
Live and let live, is how I feel about it!!!
