I wrote that article on Bob Larson and his new reality TV show, The Real Exorcist, before the show premeired on the Sci-Fi channel Oct. 30.
There have been some interesting developments, as you can see in the video above.
For one, I've gotten lots of emails from people who say they are suffering from demonic oppression or possession and need help. I try to connect them with Bob Larson's ministry.
I did get one nasty email from someone who loathes Larson and claims he's a charlatan using his ministry to enrich himself. I expected more. He is definitely a controversial figure and attracts critics like a lightning rod attracts lightning.
While I was on vacation last week, I got a call at work from the Rev. Roger Miller, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Maumee, saying he was going to be on CNN thanks to my including him in my article on Larson/ (It's not the first time one of my stories led to CNN coverage.) Unfortunately, I didn't check my voice mail in time and missed Rev. Miller's call and the CNN segment, but I sure hope it went well.
Thanks to Pastor Miller for passing along this link to the segment, which is also posted above.
