She was healed for blindness(again) which she claims was from birth.<BR/>The Centre does have some trained guys there to act and make a fool of others. Im sure the centre is making a lot of money claiming to do so called miracles.<BR/>Similarly,an experince where a man was paralysed for years was able to walk..<BR/>This is not just one experience.My collegues too had similar experiences.<BR/>Just one question to these guys(false prophets)- why dont you guys go and cure the sick in the hospitals.There are thousands of people dying everyday...thousands of children suffering from illness, AIDS etc. Why is it that you get miracles only in the centre.<BR/>One thing I need to tell the people is stop making a fool of yourself.. these guys are frauds who claim to see and speak to God.One great example is Pastor Benny Hinn.His identity is out,Living a life as a millionaire with the money he has made from sick people attending his speeches(SHOW).<BR/><BR/>Beware of these false prophets from Divine Retreat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9272465.post-81304356601742124772008-10-06T08:05:00.000+05:302008-10-06T08:05:00.000+05:30The investigation against Divine Retreat Centre ha...The investigation against Divine Retreat Centre has started in 2005. The initial complaints to the Kerala High Court were anonymous. But after that, many people have come out with identities. This includes the father of a young man who has died in the Centre. He held a press conference in Cochin in 2006.<BR/><BR/>The Divine Retreat Center pursued the case to the Supreme Court. The law does not allow investigation based on an anonymous complaint. The case stands were criminal charges were filed against Fr.Joseph Panackel and other 10 people. Although the investigation was stalled, the charges have been moved to the local police station. The Divine Retreat Centre claims this as a victory as per their website http://www.drcm.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
