The Preacher Who Scammed America

- Jack Coe the faith healer who kickstarted a nation-wide faith healing tent revival before landing himself in jail for practicing medicine without a license would con hundreds of thousands of Americans out of millions of dollars. He built a small empire, packed out arenas, and traveled the US in the world's largest tent - claiming he possessed the gift of healing and spoke words of prophecy during the uncertain times of the Cold War. Joining the ranks of Oral Roberts, A. A. Allen, and William Branham, Jack Coe helped create the blueprint that laid the grounds for the modern faith healing con used by many health and wealth prosperity doctrine preachers today.
After working closely with Gordon Lindsay, editing the Voices of Healing Magazine, Reverend Jack Coe launched his own magazine, the Herald of Healing which reached over 300,000 members. Although he was exposed as a faith healing charlatan by Adon Taft of the Miami Herald, Pastor Jack Coe amassed a fortune while offering nothing but false hope and deception before the pastor died of polio at just 38 years old.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Science is greater than Dogma. Dare to be curious, but don't Drink the Koolaid!
Thumbs up if you noticed the toaster on the wall.
As a kid, I went to a faith healing tent revival. Two ladies with cancer were “healed.” Within six months both died of cancer.
Coe’s name will fade from history, but may Salk’s be immortal.
"Faith healers" infuriate me so much. Long story short, I got sucked into believing it when I was younger, and it nearly killed me. Thankfully a loved one intervened, which is why I'm alive today.
Wow! I've never heard of Jack Coe. Thank you for exposing him!
As a Christian I absolutely thank you for calling out these heretical and blasphemous false teachers and healers keep going you are doing a grand job people need to know about these charlatans
I am a Christian and I hate these fake Word of Faith scammers. Good video.
When I was younger, I went to one of these faith healing churches religiously. Despite going twice a week, every week, for years, the same people were always sick. I too thought "well we just don't have enough faith" and it wasn't until I started questioning things that I realized something wasn't adding up. I remember asking our Sunday School teacher "If God created everything, why would he create a body that can get sick? If he's perfect, wouldn't it make more sense to create a body that can't get sick in the first place?" Of course, I was told "It was because Adam sinned' so then I asked "why would God put Adam in a situation where he could sin in the first place? If God knows everything, he knew Adam and Eve would sin, and knew all of this terrible stuff would happen to us, but he let it happen anyways!" I was told I shouldn't think like that >_>. Ever since then, I've been questioning everything until about 15 years ago, when my grandma prayed without ceasing for her healing, and died from cancer. My Grandma was the most religious person you could ever meet. If we ever brought anyone over, she was always like "are you Christian? Do you go to church? No? Well I'm gonna pray for you anyways." She was also the sweetest woman in the world. She was the living embodiment of that meme where your grandma is giving you money and telling you not to tell your parents. She was wonderful, but she died believing she would be healed until her dying breath. Not once did she curse God, or religion, but I did. I was there when she said her final words. Her last words were "Can I go home now?" We all knew what that meant. Ever since then, I haven't been to church, nor touched my bible. Now that I'm almost 40, I don't blame the people who still believe in this nonsense, but I hate the fact that there are people who will take advantage of people's desperation. Church has largely been on the decline for the past few decades, and I'm happy to see people refusing to give money to these charlatans. However, I don't think religion is all bad. Anything that can help people with a positive outlook on life, and give people hope while they are in the middle of despair is a good thing. But faith healing is no way to live. In fact, my Mom was always one to say that God is the one who helps doctors with their knowledge, and helps scientists make medicine. She was an avid believer in modern medicine and faith healing, she always combined the two. This video brought back some memories I hadn't thought about in a long time, and I want to say thank you for that. I do hope more people stop falling for faith healing, and hopefully people like Jack Coe, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the rest of them go the way of the dinosaurs.
Saying goodbye to someone who meant a lot to you is difficult, take your time, and thanks for doing all this research for everyone’s benefit
I'm addicted to learning about faith healers. I need MORE videos. I loved the change of scenery throughout, and the towel slipping incident was pure gold. I'm glad you're keeping a sense of humor during your hard times. Coming out a ten year marriage, I totally understand how hard it can be to keep you head up. You're doing great. Keep up the amazing work!
The real healer was the dude that gave a lifesaving vaccine to the world.
My condolences on your breakup. My partner of nearly 11 years broke up with me about 6 months ago, and it's still extremely difficult sometimes, but time and my relationships with my friends have helped immensely. I have also struggles with depression all my life, and I know how absolutely crippling it can be so that makes me appreciate all your extremely diligent work on this excellent video even more. Thank you so much for this, and never stop exposing the truth and following your passion.
Jonas Edward Salk will always be remembered. For making the world a better place. That other guy, Something Coe, we needed people like you to tell us who he was. And yeah, the would would've been a better place without him. What a legacy!
Thank you for all that you do and all the time you’ve put into this channel. I never grew up religious in any way but this channel covers a variety of religious topics that I find fascinating and important to learn. Wishing you the best.
As an ambulatory wheelchair user, thank you for the open acknowledgement that we exist! We’re actually a massive percentage of all chair users but people tend to forget about us.
I hope you're back on top of things soon. Keep up the good works, it is appreciated.
I'm so sorry that things have been rough for you recently. Unlike TH-cam, I'd much rather a longer, well-researched and (very comically) presented video that has some real depth and meat to it. This was so much fun to watch, even though the topic is one that drives me up the wall (especially as I a chronically ill ambulant wheelchair user prior to my health worsening). Hang in there, and I'm sorry that I don't have much to offer you financially... but I hope that it at least helps a little.
Why am I unsurprised that this takes place in Texas?
I’ve been dealing with several chronic illnesses most of my life and as a young teen my mom tried to force me to go to a fishy healer. Luckily I was smart enough to refuse.
I ❤ you for being human. It's not what happens to you,It's how you respond. Worry only about what you can control.
