Colleagues,

Self proclaimed "exorcist" and demon chaser Bob Larson tried to hit me up for $500 under the guise of him "personally" praying for me. Apparently, this is one of his latest fund-raising gimmicks.

He sent an email out to his list today announcing his July 18 Denver meeting offer to pray for people when he got in town by scheduling a one-on-one meetings. His e-mail stated:

"YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR
A SPIRITUAL EVALUATION
WITH BOB LARSON
Are you depressed?
Lacking direction in life?
Feeling compelled to do things you don't want to do?
Wondering why you lack the success you deserve?
You can schedule PERSONAL TIME with PASTOR BOB LARSON in DENVER JULY 18, 2008! Let Bob personally pray with you while he's in town. This is your time for a one-on-one meeting with Pastor Bob.

When I wrote him back asking him what I need to do to schedule such a personal meeting with him, here was my answer

By the way, a second fundraising appeal he sent out in the same e-mail were for $10.95 if you act within the next 48 hours you will "Bob Larson's VIDEO OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE, featuring Bob's top ten public exorcisms on DVD!"

His third appeal in the e-mail was to elicit people to sign up through a firm known as Affinity4 for discount Long Distance, Internet Access, DirectTV, and credit card service, or which Bob Larson's "Spiritual Freedom Church" will receive "up to 10% of their revenue."

If anyone wants me to send you a copy of Larson's e-mail appeal and his request for $500 for a private meeting with him, e-mail me privately.
