Petition to Ban Peter Popoff from the air…

Please join with me in expressing your feelings about Peter Popoff’s ministry and method by signing this petition and asking as many other folk you know to sign it too. Help give voice to your feelings, and hopefully bring out about change. Don’t remain silent any longer! This petition will be forwarded to relevant authorities and Peter Popoff when a suitable number of names has been collected, so please join in and let your voice be heard.

I’m sick and tired of charaltans in the church, and many other Christians are too but perhaps don’t know how to make their voice heard or be effective – well maybe this is a chance – at least stand up and be counted and add your name, it only takes a minute. Thank you.

  1. I got news for you. John the Baptist was the last prophet. God the Father has not sent any prophets since John announced the first coming of Christ. Jesus Christ is our Saviour not a prophet. He is the answer of the prophets. Benny Hinn refused to show his W-2 and claimed his private jet is necessary in order to get from one money making scheme to the next. ‘Jer. 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke unto them: They prophesy unto a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart.’ That pretty much says it right there, don’t you think?

  2. My children are 22, 10, and 6 years old. I see such an increase in the occult with television and books. Harry Potter and Guardians of the Gwols (both straight withcraft) are the #1 books at my kids school. We dont drink from that river of
    withcraft…yet it is big and popular. My point is there better rise up a church that is willing to get out of a religious Box or this whole generation will burn in Hell.
    Ihop is stepping out to reach a public that is not going to turn on a tv evangelist or a go to church. How are we going to reach this rising generation if we are so stiffed necked?
    There is a spirit world and we better no alittle more about it
    or we will loose this rising generation to withcraft.
    WAKE UP CHURCH!

  3. Sarah: I’ll all for the church stepping out of its box BUT its not the fact that IHOP went to the fair, or even prophesied I have an issue with. It is HOW they preached and prophesied, what they said, how it is false and the reasons for it – and what they believe about the same spirit operating in witchcraft and true prophecy. Yeah right. IHOP aren’t so much reaching out to pagans and showing them the clear distinction between light and darkness. They’re becoming pagans instead, effectively saying it’s all the same power.

  4. I can’t believe this fraud is still on the air and nothing is being done about it. WHY?

    He claims he is a preacher but I have never seen him preach. All I ever see him doing is begging for money and healing the sick. I would like to know who the people are that he has “blessed or healed”. Are they actors?

    If I offend anyone by my next comment, I’m sorry. If you look at the people in attendance to his “Miracle Hour” they are almost always African-American. I would like to know why this is?

    Why hasn’t our government done anything about this man? He has been arrested before for the very samething he is doing now and it seems like nothing is being done about it.

    THIS MAN IS ON A HIGHWAY TO HELL!!!!!!!!!

    Comment by Erma Colvin | March 13, 2008

  6. Erma: I suggest you complain to his ministry, and then go to the newspapers and TV. I suggest you complain to the advertising standards committees and the TV broadcasting councils and consumer standards authority. I suggest you complain to your politicians and the police and fraud squad too. Perhaps you might also think about consulting a lawyer. Are you in the USA?

    Comment by endtimespropheticwords | March 13, 2008

  7. ps Please make sure you sign the petition and ask others to sign it – a simple thing that only takes a minute, but if enough people do it, it will give us weight with the media at least.

  8. Based on what I read here on this blog, It sound like you at endtimesprophecy are inciting people to bring chaos to God’s Ministry. If according to you there should be no prophets, Why in God’s Name do you call yourself a prophet.
    According to you there is no clean ministry that proclaims God’s Name. A man like John Hagee who is a Full Gospel Minister, you have the nerve to point your finger at.
    Beware how and at whom you point your finger. How dare you call yourself a prophet/prophetess and everyone else a false prophet/preacher/teacher. Remember that as you point 1 finger at God’s men & women 4 fingers point back at you. As souls are being saved by the thousands, all through these different ministries, you want to incite riots to stop God’s word from spreading across the nations through
    television. You are willing to stop such salvations and all because you think you should be blowing away all these ministers. Let God be God so that He will be the One to bring down any such false teachers/preachers/prophets. God is capable of bringing down who-ever is not working according to His will. He can and will bring down anyone who is not doing things according to His word, just like He brought down Jim & Tammy Bakker & Jimmy Swaggart. God has called you to be a witness for Him for the salvation of the lost not to bring down minister & ministries. That is anti-scriptural. You are more damaging to the body of Christ than anyone else you’ve mentioned here. Beware, Jesus is coming soon and He is only interested on how many you fed, dressed, gave water to and pointed them to heaven. He also wants you to be praying for the “peace of Jerusalem” and proclaiming the gospel to the Lost. To all those who are allowing themselves to be dragged in with this here person, just remember what God has called you to do for the furtherance of His Kingdom, not the tearing down of ministries who are proclaiming God’s Word. No matter what, God’s Word never returns void. If He has to use the rocks to preach, He will do just that. Ask the Lord to show you what you should do, He is able to do so. God is Sovereign.

  9. I have only just come across this article and wonder if the request for signing the petition is still open. Maybe you have already sent it as 3 months has elapsed since the last comment?
    If not, I will gladly sign it of course.
    I am so new to the computer,and was unsure about getting involved at first, but have become really blessed by this blog.Thank you.

    Comment by Sylvia | July 28, 2008

  10. You are welcome to still sign it, but it hasn’t taken off yet, for whatever reason.

    Comment by endtimespropheticwords | July 28, 2008

  11. Miriam, I don’t know where this goes, but apparently Rick Warren’s former worship leader claimed “slander” on a theological website and got the blog taken down.

  12. YES ! PLEASE GET THAT MAN OFF THE AIR !! PLEASE !!

    Comment by hello | August 21, 2008

  13. I have been dealing with Peter Popoff for over a year and now it is the same cycle of form letters with the same ‘faith additives.’ I made the decision to stop sending him money. You don’t have to pay for prayer.

  14. ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS GUY…

  16. Kelly Media Group (KMG, Inc.) was founded in 2003 by Jason Cardiff. Kelly Media Group is a direct marketing agency. Anyone who has ever received junk mail in their mailbox will know what direct marketing is.

    Kelly Media’s website states,”Why would you chance the future of your business on an advertising company that has to outsource your mailing campaigns to a 3rd-party fulfillment house. It is imperative that you place your direct mailing endeavors into the hands of a proven direct mailer, like Kelly Media Group.”

    Why would you chance your future of your business on a fraudulent bag of manure like Jason Cardiff is a better question.

    One of the areas specifically mentioned on Kelly Media Group’s website is “Church Marketing”. And boy does Kelly Media know how to market for the church. You see, the founder of Kelly Media, Jason Cardiff, also happens to be the son-in-law of Peter Popoff.

    Peter Popoff, who in 1987 was making $4.3 million per MONTH, is a self proclaimed televangelist and claims to be a faith healer. He was a widely popular minister in the 1980s.

    Yes, Peter Popoff, disgraced faith healer, and his collaborator wife, Elizabeth, are on the air trolling for dollars. On cable infomercials, Popoff promotes the Peter Popoff World Outreach Ministry, pleading for viewers to order his book, Prosperity Thinking: God’s Dynamic Forces That Bring Riches to
    YOU! and get his new free, tiny vial of “Miracle Spring Water.” Intercut is scenes from his revival show where he lays hands on the afflicted, allegedly curing all sorts of medical problems (wink! wink!) and, oddly, supposedly freeing a woman’s jailed son.

    Also intercut are scenes of Elizabeth reading “testimonials” of the cures from viewers healed by the
    water or by Popoff through the TV.

    Popoff, was exposed by James Randi on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1986. Randi and friends found out that Elizabeth was transmitting information to Peter, who wore a hidden earpiece
    camouflaged as a hearing aid (very strange for a man who could supposedly cure all manners of illness).

    Randi said, “I explained how Popoff had sent Reeford Sherrill (his ‘front man’), Volmer Thrane, and his wife, Elizabeth, into the audience in advance, equipped with transmitters to gather and broadcast the needed data backstage to the reverend.”

    During the show, Elizabeth would prompt him again on the problems claimed by certain people in the audience. It then looked like he knew a person’s name and affliction as if given the information by
    God! During one part of the revival section of the new show, Popoff gets worked up and touches the foreheads of afflicted persons, who usually fall backwards into the arms of one “volunteers”.

    Youtube hosts numerous videos of this fraud, including James Randi on the Johnny Carson show in which Popoff’s wife Elizabeth, can actually be heard revealing audience member’s names and their illnesses to Peter via radio signals sent to the earpiece. Elizabeth can be heard to say, “Hello, Petey. I love you! I’m talking to you. Can you hear me? If you can’t, you’re in trouble, ’cause I’m talking as well as I can! I’m looking up names right now.”

    In one recorded session Elizabeth Popoff speaks: “Reeford’s got a hot one!” (Laughter.) “Reeford’s so excited! He came running in back here and scared us half to death! You ready for a hot one? Okay! Want a hot one? Hot one! Hot off the press! Ruby Lee Harris. Ruby Lee. She is standing in the far back where there’s no chairs. (Long pause) “…Ruby Lee Harris. She’s against the back wall. She’s got lumps in her breast. You might want to whisper it – have her walk down! Have her run up there. Run! Oh! Look at her run! (Loud laughter) “she’s got knots in her breast.” (Laughter and giggles.) A home run! A home run!” (Then, later on, giggles are heard, and Pam speaks.) “At any rate, she should kick him in the face!” (giggles) (Elizabeth speaks.) “Pam says to make her – Pam thinks that you should have her kick him in the face (Giggles.)

    Elizabeth Popoff and several aides would scout the audience looking for “hot” ones. They would ask them, “Is Jesus going to heal you? And what’s your name, and where do you live? Have you had this condition long?” They would write all this information down on cards, which later on Elizabeth would recite during the service via her concealed transmitter. She carried the power source in a large handbag, and the transmitter and microphone were hidden under her blouse.

    Peter Popoff claimed that the video footage shown on Johnny Carson was a fake and that the woman who was said to be his wife Elizabeth was really an actor hired by NBC.

    When the Popoff ministry was asked whether Popoff used a secret receiver in his ear, Janice Gleason, a public relations consultant for the Popoff organization, said that the electronic receiver in Popoff’s ear was used only to keep in touch with the television crew. (In the hours of taped transmissions, there was not one communication with the television crew.) Gleason said she believed that the woman’s voice heard on the Tonight Show was faked. But Popoff later admitted that it was his wife who was communicating with him

    Peter Popoff also declared bankruptcy when his viewers began leaving him in droves after the revelation of fraud.

    So it’s now 2009 and how does all of this tie in with the Kelly Media Group?

    Nick Popoff, the son of Peter “fraud” Popoff works as consultant for Kelly Media, and Peter’s son-in-law Jason Cardiff is the founder of Kelly Media Group. Furthermore, the PeterPopoffMinistries website was created by Kelly Media Group.

    If you make a donation on Popoff’s website (to “fulfill our mission of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus to the world” of course), take a look at whose e-mail account (now closed) the funds are processed with:

    This is the actual code from the website donation page:

    Yes, Jason Cardiff handles donations sent to Peter Popoff. This entire family is crooked and fraudulent.

    Let’s take a look at how much money this family made in 2005. The information comes from Ministrywatch.com which tracks questional religious organizations.

    People United for Christ, Inc./ Peter Popoff
    Known Compensation per IRS Form 990:
    Peter Popoff: 2005: $686,932
    Elizabeth Popoff: 2005: $261,146
    Nickolas Popoff: 2005: $189,293
    Amy Cardiff (daughter): 2005: $183,330
    Kelly Media Group, Inc./ son-in-law to Peter Popoff: $1,948,458
    Other organizations: (1) Peter Popoff Ministries, LTD, (2) First Point (United
    Kingdom), (3) Word for the World, (4) Peter Popoff Evang. Assoc-Canada.

    Peter Popoff made $686,932 from donations received. His wife made $261,146.

    Kelly Media Group made $1,948,458. That’s almost TWO MILLION dollars for web-hosting and direct mail services???

    2006 incomes were slightly less for the Popoff family:
    Peter Popoff Ministries $23,556,469
    Peter Popoff . . . . . . . . . 628,732
    Elizabeth Popoff $203,000
    Nickolas Popoff $182,000
    Amy Cardiff $176,000
    Taking a closer look at the direct mail services of Kelly Media Group. People who sign up at Peter Popoff’s ministry website, are asked for their mailing address and email address. Once the information is filled out, people begin to receive up to two-dozen postal letters from Peter Popoff.
    Each letter is personally addressed to the person (ex: “Robert, God has given me something that I must give you,” the letter begins). Computer-generated type is made to look like handwriting and only the names are changed from one letter to the next.

    A former Kelly Media Group employee states, “while working for Kelly Media, which is an advertising agency owned and operated by Peter Popoffs son-in-law Jason Cardiff, it was my job to enter prayer requests and donations into a database. These entries into the database would generate a letter to be sent back to the person who wrote in. It would print up a detailed letter, which appears to be handwritten by Peter Popoff himself telling people that he was praying for them, and their particular problems.

    The letters begin, ‘The other day I was praying for you, and decided to go to a coffee shop where I knew I could focus, and everytime I said your name I was embraced by the holy spirit.’

    Do you really think Peter Popoff spends even 15 seconds reading through the hundreds of letters that he receives?

    Popoff’s staff take the money out that Peter Popoff has asked the people for, writes the prayer requests on the envelope, and sends them to Kelly Media Group who type them into the database. The coffee shop line quoted above will be mass produced, word for word on each letter for about sixty thousand people at a time. All the while people think that they are sending him money to advance the work of god, and that in return he is praying for them. Peter Popoff is not only not praying for these people, he doesnt even know who they are.

    Peter Popoff, Elizabath Popoff, Jason Cardiff are enjoying the good life for now, based on the dollars donated by people who don’t know any better. This family engage in fraud and questionable practices to conduct their business.

    As a final testimony to the dishonest and questionable practices of Kelly Media Group and the Popoff’s, let’s take a look at the Direct Response Advertising Watch Dogs Of America. This group is touted as “a high-end elite group of executives that watch and study advertising executives around the globe for performance and client results.” Their website is here: http://www.directresponsewatchdogsofamerica.com

    Imagine that, a group that takes time to watch and study advertising executives to see their performance and results. What would be the motivating factor here? How would this group earn an income? What else do they do?

    The website for DRAWDA really doesn’t say much else about them. Portions of the website are incomplete as if the web developer stopped halfway through designing the site.

    DRAWDA does mention though, Jason Cardiff. In fact DRAWDA actually names Jason Cardiff as an “up and coming direct response television advertising executive for 2008.”
    Here is what they have to say about Mr. Cardiff:

    Jason is President and founder of many companies Worldwide but best known for Kelly Media Group. Kelly Media Group is a California based direct response marketing think tank responsible for some of the most impressive successful marketing stories of the past 5 years. Jason Cardiff will tell you that he is only as good as his weakest link on his team, but his team consists of some of the brightest minds in the Unites States or perhaps the world. Offices are strategically located worldwide with the head office in Upland (California), Dallas (Texas), Vancouver (Canada), London (England), Sydney (Australia) and the newest office KMG Asia in Da Nang (Vietnam) http://www.kmgasia.com
    That’s quite the honorable mention for someone who is engaged in defrauding religious worhsippers.

    If you do a WHOIS of the website you will find that the website’s registrar has been hidden from public view.

    Way to go Jason Cardiff, inventing a bogus group and registering it in your OWN COMPANY’S NAME just to present yourself with an even more bogus mention as an up and coming executive.

    Finally, if you visit Youtube you will find videos of Cardiff giving a “tour” of the KMG warehouse and product fulfillment center. In the video, shot by an amateur cameraman who clumsily holds a camcorder, Cardiff touts his business while the cameraman pretends to be impressed with the otherwise boring warehouse. The entire video is clearly orchestrated and the cameraman is really another employee of KMG.

    Avoid the Kelly Media Group at all costs or anything with the Popoff name.

    Comment by Devon McQuire | February 24, 2009

  17. I started a blog on Peter Popoff where I have collected a lot of information of who to contact about getting Popoff taken off the air in whatever venue he may be broadcasting on.

    Visit the blog and let me know what you think.

    Comment by Alonzo Kaupfmann | May 10, 2009

  18. The blog is here
    http://pwnpeterpopoff.wordpress.com/
    and contains contact information for every TV station, TV network and cable network that Popoff is known to be broadcasting on.

    Signing the petition is a good idea. But, an even better idea is for thousands of people to write to the broadcasters and ask that Popoff be removed from their station or network programming schedules.

    Comment by Alonzo Kaupfmann | May 12, 2009

  19. peter popoff should be popped off the air and put in jail for the rest of his greedy rotten life using GOD to become wealthy. He also gains from the sick and chronically ill, those going through a hardship, the elderly, and others in a vulnerable situation.When the day comes hen he has to meet his maker
    God will not show the greedy selfish fake any mercy. just like peter popoff has shown no mercy and uses and idol spring water promising healing,after you send the money.I hope he has prepared himself to spend his eternity in hell.popoff’s actions are the lowest kind of scum alive. I can’t believe any tv channel would allow this scam to be aired.
    it’s time to get him off the air so no one else gets hurt.
