Here’s one of the crazier claims you’ll ever hear from a “faith healer” — read “con artist” — from wingnut extraordinaire Cindy Jacobs. She claims she prayed for a woman and reversed a hysterectomy, replacing her uterus so she could get pregnant.
I don’t suppose you could prove some actual evidence for that, could you? I didn’t think so.

Asking for proof indicates doubt. Doubt destroys faith and, in turn, undoes the miracle caused by faith. Therefore, asking for proof will undo the miraculous undoing of the hysterectomy. So just believe and don’t ask questions.
Praise Jeebus!

I have some amputees for this liar to meet.

Wow, at first I thought I didn’t hear that right because the sun was in my ears. Anyway, it’s a good thing Cindy was just joking, because if she wasn’t that would be fucking frightening.*

I’d bet money that she’s inflating a tubal ligation to a hysterectomy. My mother specialized in obstetrical anesthesia for over 20 years, and there were quite a few women she was giving an epidural to after she’d put them to sleep for tubals. Some of them just don’t “take.”
But not a single one of the women who had hysterectomies, partial or full, ever had kids again. Maybe if this Jacobs nitwit knew even basic anatomy, she’d understand why.

A disturbing implication I see between the lines of this ‘miracle’ (didn’t watch the video): That ‘baby factory’ is the one true state of health for a woman.

The only anatomy that Cindy Jacobs comprehends is the fractured mind of the believer in faith healing.
Won’t someone haul her fraudulent ass before a court of law?

Seriously, this should become the battle-cry of the skeptic and freethinker.

This crap is quite pervasive. My step-daughter is watching some TLC show where a medium is talking about communing with the dead. I had to leave the room. The level of intelligence required to pay attention to this stuff is so low as to be almost non-existent. And these same marks vote.

@Mikema
Where I live, communing with the dead is a capital crime, unless the dead is a goat, then it’s fine.
But, eeeww! A reversed historectomy sounds extremely painful. I’m thinking turkey baster anfd bellows.

What a boon this service could be to transsexuals awaiting sex reassignment surgery (male->female). I’m sure that Ms. Jacobs would be happy to oblige. /snark

If the woman who allegedly underwent a hysterectomy actually became pregnant, I’d want to check the competence of the surgeon. Of course, this is not the sort of story for which we would expect to receive supporting documentation.

Obviously the surgeon drunkenly removed her brain instead of her uterus.
Jacobs had the same operation.

I, uh, think you mean “conflating”. Sorry to be a grammar Nazi, but your comment as written was making my eyes water…
