A Church That Says Drinking Bleach is a “Miracle Cure” Continues to Do Damage
Hemant Mehta, April 20, 2019

For years now, the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing has been telling members to basically drink bleach to cure everything from cancer to HIV to Ebola. In 2016, ABC News even paid to attend a seminar hosted by church founder Jim Humble and exposed the place… but the church still exists.

Even the Department of Justice has gotten involved with this scheme, finding a man guilty of “selling industrial bleach as a miracle cure for numerous diseases and illnesses.”

This “church” should have been shut down a long time ago. It wasn’t. And this weekend, members are gathering at a hotel in Washington state to promote their “effective alternative healing.” The event’s organizer, Tom Merry, is even telling people that drinking the industrial bleach “could save your life, or the life of a loved one sent home to die.”

In a promotional video for the event (around the 7:25 mark), an infant is shown drinking a cup of bleach to “cure” malaria. It’s unclear if that’s what actually going on, but the baby is screaming after being given the liquid.

I don’t know why the event page is permitted on Facebook, or why the hotel is allowing them to gather there, or why local law enforcement officials haven’t put a stop to this already, but the event is happening as we speak, and there’s no telling how many people will be duped into drinking poison for their supposed well-being.

Blame the gullible people all you want, but when children and babies are involved, the organizers must be held responsible for the dangerous misinformation they’re spreading in the name of whatever-the-hell religion they belong to.

Emphasis added.
