NEWARK, Texas (AP) — The teachings of televangelist Kenneth Copeland and his family focusing on the virtues of trusting God to keep healthy are under scrutiny after a cluster of measles cases linked to his family's North Texas megachurch revealed many congregants hadn't been vaccinated against the highly contagious disease.

Kenneth Copeland Ministries has won supporters worldwide through television programs, crusades, conferences and prayer request networks. He was a pioneer of the prosperity gospel, which holds that believers are destined to flourish spiritually, physically and financially.

1. They should shut that fucking church down as a health violation

and charge that pastor with practicing medicine with out a license.

2. Have no questions about this.

The state health department would have broad authority to quarantine people attending that church. I am sure that such a subject was brought up as the pastor, Kenneth Copeland's daughter, recanted in an announcement in front of her entire parish.

These people (the pastors, not their well fleeced flock) disgust me.
