“A million two, a million two hundred thousand dollars.”
“The lady closed her eyes and nodded.”
“Not to be short with you, Lynn, but you saw things like ‘the drift’ and I guess other things. . .”
“Yes, the shotgun.”
“What is the ‘shotgun’”
“When Billy gets up on the stage and says ‘for that lady out there who just felt something in her chest’ or ‘for that man in Chicago who just felt something in his diseased heart’ the crowd goes wild over the shotgun. And, who’s to prove it didn’t happen. TV Evangelists use it all the time.”
“Okay, Lynn, you saw the things like the drift and the shotgun and you still believed Billy Taylor was a man of God? Does that make sense, any sense at all?”
“One time I asked Billy if those things were right. He just laughed and said that Jesus had talked to him and told him to do those things. He asked me where did I think he learned those things. When I told him I didn’t know, he said Jesus told him. I believed him.” She started to cry.
