The Least Scary Demon Possessed Person of All Time

This video is of Todd “The Flawed” Bentley laying down his thang in Ethiopia. The video was uploaded to his new site in July; however, I’m going to assume it’s old as Todd looks about a hundred pound lighter, has hair, and no tats on his necks… I’m not sure how many he has now.

Anyways, Todd is healing “demon-possessed” people in this video. Two thoughts. One, if there is power in the name of Jesus does it get more powerful if you scream his name repeatedly? I mean, the first “exorcism” reminded me more of the last scene of The Exorcist, “The power of Christ compels you!” There may stand no better example of some misguided Christians understanding of the spiritual world. Basically, Jesus is magic and if you say the formula correctly you can do cool wizardry.

It’s Levio-sah not Levio-so.

The second demon-possessed person is the least scary demon-possessed person of all time. When I first watched this video after Todd’s introduction I was jacked to see some raving lunatic brought to the stage in chains.

Huge letdown.

Instead a pregnant women shuffles on to the stage wearing the lamest chains ever put on a “demon-possessed” person to restrain them. Maybe, she has the demon of slutiness and they chained her legs to keep them closed? I mean, she’s pregnant right?

Oh yeah, Todd keeps talking about “dunamis” revival. That’s a Greek word. Greek students and scholars the world over groan when they hear Todd using the word. Please Todd: just don’t.

Don’t.

So here’s Todd in all his Jesus is magic glory yelling inanities at a demon possessed person while he sits on him, “Shama-lamma-ding-dong-shazbot-nano-nano-hyundai-maitai-bowtie-creamofsomeyoungguy-JESUS!”

    Couldn’t bring myself to watch past 1:50. Probably a new record for Bent-lee.

    I really don’t think blond is a good look for him.

    Could that video really be seen as real, or inspirational to anybody? yikes

      Can you imagine the conversation?

      “Dude, we need some media for the new site.”

      “Oh, we should put up that video from Ethiopia where you healed that demon-possessed woman bound in chains.”

      “Great idea!”

      Yikes is right…

    “It’s Levio-sah, not Levioso.”

    Swish and flick.

    I was waiting for someone to announce that the woman had turned them into a newt. “I got better.”

    Scott: “Burn her anyway!” Good line!

    I think it’s really interesting that Todd speaks in fragments so that the translator can either (a) announce his wizardry to the crowds or (b) speak it to the demon (as if the demon and not just the people are Ethiopic). Either way, it’s goofy.

    I really enjoyed your post, I wish the video was as funny to watch as the post was to read.
