I know! LOL That's what I loved about it . . . it almost wasn't even a parody, because stuff like that happens ALL THE TIME in Charismatic and Pentecostal churches.

It reminded me of an event that my husband remembers from a few years before he met me when he was still deeply involved in Charismaticism:

Hubby was living in El Paso at the time, and some prophet guy came into town as a guest speaker at a Vineyard church where my husband's step-sister was attending. He prophesied that there was going to be a huge earthquake in El Paso to punish the border area for its many, many sins. He even named the day that the earthquake was going to occur. Well, when that day came . . . no earthquake. But there was a light snow. And so Mr. Prophet revised his Word from God to say that God had seen the repentence of El Paso over the warning given in the prophecy, and He had poured out His mercy upon the inhabitants, and as a sign of His forgiveness, He sent the snow to symbolize cleansing and renewal.

Which was totally stupid on so many levels, but the main one was this: there had been no massive repentence of El Paso. In fact, scarcely anyone not directly involved with the Vineyard even knew about the prophecy, much less had 'repented' over it. But that's the way it goes in those churches . . . if a prophecy doesn't materialize, well then, just get another 'Word from the Lord' to explain why. And everybody will still think you are anointed!
