De la misma manera que después de décadas de permanecer en el país, tuvieron que abandonar nuestro territorio las llamadas “Nuevas tribus”, así también debería enfocarse una investigación seria, para expulsar de Venezuela a la secta brasileña “Pare de Sufrir”. (Abajo pueden ver las fotografías de su "ranchito") Edir Macedo Becerra, nació el 18 de Febrero de 1945 en Brasil. Es el creador, dueño y líder de la “Iglesia Universal del Reino de Dios “o “La Oración Fuerte al Espíritu Santo”, más conocida con el nombre comercial de "Pare de sufrir", banner that used to advertise the products they sell in their meetings.
Macedo, although it started to work selling illegal lottery, at 20 years income to the church Nova Vida, staying there for 10 years. In l977, with a group of friends opened a small shop in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, the self proclaimed 'Bishop' and founded the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. In the early days
barely surviving financially until a parishioner sold some land and donated the money. At that time bought 10 minutes per day on the radio and started River Metropolitan success. For l980 had several hours of radio and one hour River channel TV Tupi. Opened a store in the city of San Pablo and in l982 he bought the first radio station. His charisma, lack of boundaries and the use of manipulation techniques produced an explosion in his church and unstoppable growth.
Today the Universal Church has 6 million members, 1,000 million dollars tax-free annual income and 3,000 temples in Brazil and mainly distributed in 46 countries around the world, including Venezuela. Macedo has organized its business as a pyramid, he is the owner and still a select group of bishops who discussed twice a year to follow policies and more than 7,000 pastors charged $ 900 salary, house and car. He is also owner of 2 newspapers with more than one million copies of 30 radio stations and the second largest television network in Brazil.
In some countries sought or cause the failure of large theaters to buy cheap and so gather mass audiences. One example is what happened to the Broadway theater Chacaito.
mid-l990 Brazilian Justice began investigating Macedo and business of the Universal Church, for alleged links with the Cali cartel and money laundering in l992 and ended up imprisoned for 12 days on charges of fraud and and embezzlement in your bank account had accumulated $ 100 million. At the end of his lawyers obtained the acquittal at trial. The Globo TV network showed footage of Bishop Macedo teaching their pastors to ask for money while saying "Do you understand how it is? If you want to help, either. If not, can go to hell. Or contribute to or condemn. "In another scene he looks to other pastors Macedo and squatting on a pile of bills. In Internet you can find all these videos and photographs which we reproduce, that belong to one of the many" humble " Macedo homes.
Macedo incorporate new elements to his doctrine that have little to do with the Bible: sold "River Jordan", "oils on the Mount of Olives", "Sands of the Dead Sea", "rocks and earth from the tomb of Christ," "bits of fabric Robe" to "splinters of the cross that crucified Christ "and invite the faithful to participate in meetings and" eat the blessed bread to cure diseases
. " But the central doctrine of "bishop" Macedo, is fighting the demons and the theology of prosperity.
These sellers of false hope hypnotize people to let them your money. Their "preachers" and expert in sleight of hand, in minutes make people give up what they do not bring. Instead of seeking God, seeking healing in the hands of these liars, crooks and charlatans.
