revealing radio interviews

[edit]

When I was young I used to listen to Bob Larson on the AM christian station. This was late 80s early 90s. He was great, he took calls, he acted like he hated rock music and he interviewed heavy metal bands. Sometimes he performed exorcisms right there live on the radio. Engaging stuff.

Here’s the first interview we did with him in 1996 on The Chris & Rob Late Night Talk Show.

A few years later in 2002 he visited us live at the WAIF studio.

apparently these links are blacklisted on wikipedia? and need to be whitelisted to be included. Thanks in advance

Removal of demonology section

[edit]

Why is the demonology section repeatedly being removed? Exorcism and demons are one of Larson's main focuses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cogito-ergo-sum (talk • contribs) 17:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been a believer in Jesus Christ my Creator, Beloved, & Friend for 28 years now. But there's various things I stand in question concerning Dr. Larson, & Spiritual Freedom Church. 

 First of all, when Jesus Christ cast out demons, he simply, & most often, "HOLD THY PEACE, & COME OUT OF HIM!". I went to a Larson Seminar & Deliverance Session awhile ago at the DALLAS/FT. WORTH AIRPORT MARRIOTT HOTEL where the service was going to be held. In a separate events room(hall), an elaborate Hindi Marriage Ceremony was going to take place sometime that evening.
 Anywho, I've noticed that Dr. Larson uses various "tools of the trade" when dealing with "demons", and when the malignant spirit (s) are cast out, he consigns the devil to the Abyssos (PIT). Fine, well, & good, praise God, but I've noticed most often through watching him on YouTube, and at that Session afore mentioned, that he's repeatedly dealing with, "intimidating", & casting out "Jezebel", plus sending her "to the pit". 
 I know first hand that demons, even satan, once bound in Hell( Tartarus, Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Abyssos, Astral Plane, Underworld, Sonic Elevator, Kundalini Root, Blessed Be, Know Thyself, Self Preservation of Chakra, & Stigmata Enn), do not get out. Ever.  Since he's repeatedly dealing with her, the Jezebel demon, after her being cast out, then into the Hell she deserves, who, pray tell, keeps letting her go, out of her prison, back out onto the Earth to wreak her havoc once again?
 Because according to my Bible, yes, even if it's not The KJV, or whatnot, don't it plainly state BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIMSELF, in Revelation's Book, that "I(Jesus) have the keys of death & hell..."?  I must admit, I'm no EXORCIST, but also I'm not an idiot, either. Because if, let's say, "IF" the Lord Jesus Christ might be letting the demons out again (& I know he ain't), how in God's creation above or beneath, can there be more than one Jezebel demon in any given person, equally as much as in someone else AT THE SAME TIME? I know from my own experiences with the Realm of the Air(satan's domain), that satan cannot be equally present(neither his person or presence), say, in Hong Kong, China, and at the same time be in Gnome, Alaska. Since EVIL, or, satan's substance of person, is not SELF EXISTENT, nor is it ETERNALLY PERMANENT ON EARTH, this means that Jesus Christ, once He DESTROYS THE YOKE OF BONDAGE done by satan & his countless hordes of infernal invocation & invernessable schematic tactics of Unrighteousness, Accusations, Oppositions, Adversarial Blockades, Kindly Wiles of Self Deception, and Subliminal Rottenness of Thoughts Projected by Split-Feeding of Fear's Constant Unqualified Absoluteness, that if it were Jesus Christ who's leaving the door, or Gates of Hell wide open, He'd be the worst deceiver the Universe has ever seen, known, or heard of. Period. Because Holy Bible says, when Paul wrote this, "FOR IF I REBUILD THAT WHICH I ONCE DESTROYED, I CAUSE & MAKE MYSELF TO BE A TRANSGRESSOR (heathen perverted sinner, damned to be eternally lost forever)". Furthermore, Paul said, "IS CHRIST THE(A) MINISTER OF SIN? MAY IT NEVER BE!"...
 I'm exceedingly & overwhelmed you've removed Dr. Larson's section on Demonology. Keep up the good work, & may the blessings of Jesus Christ, King of all Creation everywhere in all the Universes, seen or unseen, bless your socks off. Until eternity is no longer existent, & until YHWH ELOHIM SHADDAI is no longer Sovereign Majesty of Spirits (demonic or angelic), MARANATHA!!! "EVEN SO, O OUR LORD, COME!!!".

GOD BLESS. MR. JASON GLENN MCCULLOUGH, prophet/messenger/son of God Most High, Our Beloved El ELYON. Peace and Grace Be Yours in Abundance. 24.240.237.226 (talk) 12:30, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

John Safran exorcism

[edit]

This page definitely needs information about the John Safran exorcism. Simply adding the link at the bottom without explaining its significance is not standard Wikipedia practice. Sumthingweird 01:11, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's standard Wikipedia practice to fix problems as you spot them. If you feel that more should be mentioned on the Safran exorcism, you should add it. The editor who added the link probably hoped someone who knew more about the incident would add some information about it. Cnwb 01:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
well, I am the editor who added the link, but I was just being lazy and didn't add a description. I watched the Exorcism today with some friends, and then saw your comments & wrote a quick summary of the events. I was a little lazy when writing so I probly haven't conformed to perfect wiki standards, but the information is there.


SB: Cleaned up the Safran exorcism section a little bit, making mention of the fact that Safran was Jewish (hence the significance of his 'forgiving Hitler') 00:47 UTC (November 25, 2005)

Bigjimmic --Bigjimmic 01:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)I gotta say - i think the Safran bit is is incorrect - he didn't ever accept jesus into his life, and i think the lisp bit is a big silly - he was groaning and his lisp is that pronounced.[reply]

Someone has apparently deletede the Safran exorcism section. check the edit history Ropata (talk) 09:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encylopedia, not a soapbox

[edit]

To the anonymous AOLer User:207.200.116.134 who added significantly biased changes, please read Wikipedia's NPOV policy. The idea is to provide objective information from a neutral point of view. Cheers. ~ ~ ~ Papeschr 06:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Ken Smith

[edit]

It is true that Ken Smith was denied a license to practice law by the Colorado Bar allegedly because of his work on Bob Larson. (http://home.earthlink.net/~19ranger57/injunction.htm). However are Ken Smith's legal issues relevant on a page about Bob Larson?

They might be, actually. However, I'm a bit worried about sourcing. The document you cite is a) hosted on a private website, which might raise some questions about authenticity of the document, b) written by a party in the case, which might raise some questions about reliability. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The proper url to the actual Colorado Bar ruling may be found at:

http://www.cobar.org/opinions/opinion.cfm?OpinionID=5343

There is no question that Mr. Smith's actions regarding Larson raised alarm for the bar in regard to how a license to practice law might be employed. As such it is very much relevant to the milieu regarding Larson and his professional activities.

I find it hard to credit a statement that "there is no question that Mr. Smith's actions regarding Larson raised alarm" when the source cited does not mention Larson at all. Needless to say it also doesn't support the "obtained documents from the ministry's trash dumpster" that you also keep trying to add in over and over. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised that the brief comment regarding Fr. Ashcraft was removed since he was a Larson insider and remains the only person in that circle so far to have publicly challenged Larson on the charges. I think this is an important point in the critique of Larson's activities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.163.112 (talk) 21:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh great, another Ken Smith stalker!74.100.60.53 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Additional sources we can use:

http://music.westword.com/Issues/1994-03-02/news/citylimits2_full.html might have something useful we don't have yet. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exorcisms?

[edit]

are there any sources for his claims that he has performed over 10,000 exorcisms? The demons that he claims to exorcise tend to be named after the sins, rather than typical demonic names

whether true or not, the tapes he played on Coast To Coast AM are frightening Bunnygod888 03:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Hair Transplant

[edit]

Who did Bob Larson's hair transplant? Is he ever going to get the other "treatments" so that he does not look so ridiculious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.86.220 (talk) 19:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TBN Series

[edit]

This article seems to fail to address Bob Larson's prime-time television series from the mid-1990's. --Aaron Walden 00:48, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What no Criticism?

[edit]

Come on, please don't tell me that this prominent televangelist and exorcist doesn't have one single common criticism of his work. Wikipedia researchers and editors should know better than that. As I was watching the Safran video, it was at least clearly noticed by me that he had signs of religious bigotry and what seemed to even be outright racism. Surely there is at least one professional out there who would point out how ridiculous Larson is or perhaps even offer some clue that hypnosis and suggestion is a possible working tool that Larson uses. The least you could do is leave a doubting individual as myself feeling like there's enough that's been looked at to guess that maybe at the last minute Safran's mother was to blame as a last possibility that cannot be proven but would feel most likely since nothing else could make much more sense about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.27.124.108 (talk) 16:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that this article is inaccurate and does not reflect a npov standard, there is a lot of material that needs sourcing, adding and probably removal. Will work on it some when I have a chance, maybe others will as well. Tmtoulouse (talk) 03:29, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trey Azagthoth

[edit]

The YouTube user who had uploaded the Trey Azagthoth vs. Bob Larsen tapes has taken them down[1], saying, "Trey's family told me they were fake and asked me to remove them." In the absence of a reliable source disputing this, I have removed the reference to them from the article. WikiMarshall (talk) 22:12, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-gay actions

[edit]

No word on his homophobic actions i.e trying to "heal" gays http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwoDGcwEHwk&NR=1

20:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.226.60 (talk)

No discussion of him being a fraud?

[edit]

http://www.holysmoke.org/sdhok/larson09.htm

how about how he didn't actually write "his" book on satanic ritual abuse, but that one of his employees did? how about how he has a poor track record of following up on his "callers," who have a high chance of being shills? how about how this article reads like a damn advertisement? inb4 NPOV 108.218.14.108 (talk) 01:07, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of his daughters?

[edit]

Larson's three daughter are also involved in his ministry. I think it is notable enough to include in this article. 2602:306:3032:30F0:5BD:5382:7F7B:36E4 (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Reverend"?

[edit]

The lede declares that Larson is a "Reverend". The title The Reverend is typically reserved for those who either have credentials as a minister or at least lead a substantial congregation. Larson has neither distinction. It makes little more sense to call Larson a "Reverend" than it would to call say, David Icke one. I move that the term be removed. Occam's Shaver (talk) 05:59, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exorcisms for a donation

[edit]

"Larson also offers to perform exorcisms over Skype (for a donation of $295)."
