StopPopoff.com

[diablo581]

As Jeff Wagg mentioned in the recent article about Peter Popoff, there should be a "Stop" site for him. Unfortunately StopPeterPopoff.com was already registered, sadly by a site recommending psychic readings.

So I have registered StopPopoff.com and have setup a wordpress install there. I have posted three youtube videos already, but I am no Robert Lancaster.

I was hoping to get some of the people here to become members of the site and help scour the internet to post all the information that we can there. Of course we also need people to link to the site once we get information up there.

Is anyone interested in helping to get more content up there?

"I don't want anyone to be duped by reading that."

Trading Standards officers at South Tyneside Council are probing the letters from California-based Brother Popoff, who claims to be a faith healer.

He also claims to receive divine revelations about people who attend his services, as well as those whom he contacts via mass mailings.

In 1986, he was left bankrupt after an exposé on his methods by an American journalist, but more than 20 years later, he has developed a faithful new following.

But Bernadette Askins, chairman of Churches Together in South Tyneside, said a bona fide religious organisation would not approach people in this way.
