Reply #9: It looks like a 2007 story that was reposted 15-Oct-2009 for some reason.

with a few new words at the end. It was sent to me recently so I searched DU before I posted it and saw the older story posted in the DU general discussion area about a pastor and a magic machine, but I didn't bother reading it because I saw the 2007 date and thought it was about another incident.



Anyway, It's still what it is.

Here's the 2007 article

It’s as strange as it’s true. A man of God of Ghaniain extraction was arrested and interrogated at Entebbe Airport after he attempted to clear a machine which, police say, he has been using to deliver electric current on unsuspecting worshippers during church service.

“Pastor” Obiri Konjo Yeboah on July 5 failed to convince Aviation Police officers why he needed this machine to do God’s work. He is now facing serious charges including fraud and false pretence,” Police Spokesman Asan Kasingye told Sunday Monitor yesterday.

Police said the machine can be worn like a corset on the body. It also can generate up to 12 volts.

“When touches his flock, they fall down he is using super natural powers,” Mr Asan Kasingye said. The machine is placed on any part of the body and gives a pleasant electric shock to whoever touches you.

The waterproof electric machine is activated within 10 seconds and can emit sparks of static electricity between the user’s fingers while in darkness. The Yigal Mesika Company in Los angels America manufactures the machine known for freaking people’s minds.

Mr Kasingye said the machine using the body as a conductor of electricity, transfers the current to the person in contact but the one using the device remains unaffected.

Other “Born Again” pastors including the head of the National Council of Born Again Churches (NCBC), a body that regulate Pentecostal churches, are calling for prosecution of Yebowa.

“Police should interrogate him properly, know where he stays and the people he works with so that we get a clear picture of it all,” said Pastor Alex Mitala who heads NCBC.
