THIS WEEK, STORIES OF
LIFE...
I VERY SINCERELY ASKED
THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
Reporter: AND STORIES
OF DEATH.
IT WAS PITCH-BLACK DARK.
WE'LL TAKE YOU TO
HEAVEN.
I FELT MY SPIRIT BREAK
FREE FROM MY BODY, AND I
ROSE UP AND OUT OF THE
RIVER.
AND THROUGH HELL.
IT WAS CALLING MY NAME,
SAYING, WE GOTCH WHICH.
GOTCHA, YOU BELONG TO US
NOW.
THIS WEEK ON "700 CLUB
INTERACTIVE."
*
Pat: WELL, DESPITE THE
WEATHER AND DESPITE THE
ELECTION, PEOPLE STILL WANT
TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN WHEN THEY DIE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THE ULTIMATE,
THE FINAL DESTINATION, WHAT
IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU
WHEN YOU DIE?
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY
HAVE BEEN TO HELL, ACTUALLY
HAVE BEEN TO HEAVEN, AND
THEY HAVE COME BACK TO TELL
US ABOUT ITMENT YOU DON'T
WANT TO MISS THESE
TESTIMONIES.
BUT WE START OUT THE PROGRAM
TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE
LARGEST STORMS EVER TO
STRIKE UNITED STATES.
HURRICANE SANDY HAS LEFT
EVERYWHERE, FROM THE MID
ATLANTIC TO NEW ENGLAND TO
THE MIDWEST.
ESTABLISHMENT
Terry: AND IT SHUT DOWN
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CITYS IN
THE U.S., NEW YORK.
Reporter: SANDY MADE
LANDFALL MONDAY NIGHT,
DELIVERING A DIRECT HIT TO
THE NEW JERSEY COAST.
THE MASSIVE FLOODING AND 80
MILE-AN-HOUR WINDS LEFT
ENTIRE AREAS OF THE
COASTLINE UNDER WATER.
CHRIS CHRISTIE ENCOURAGED
THOSE TO STAY IN THEIR
HOME.
NEW YORK CITY WAS HIT BY A
13-FOOT STORM SURGE, TURNING
THE CITY'S STREETS INTO
RIVERS.
Mayor: THE WORST OF THE
WEATHER HAS COME, AND THE
CITY IS CERTAINLY FEELING
THE IMPACTS.
WE HAVE SEEN RECORD SURGE
LEVELS.
WE'RE SEEING AN
EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF
WATER THROUGHOUT LOWER
MANHATTAN.
Reporter: AMONG THE
AREAS UNDER WATER, THE
FINANCIAL DISTRICT.
TODAY THE STOCK MARKET WILL
REMAIN CLOSED FOR A SECOND
DAY IN A ROW, SOMETHING THAT
HASN'T HAPPENED DUE TO THE
WEATHER SINCE 1888.
IN THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM,
A NEW YORK CITY HOSPITAL HAD
TO EVACUATE MORE THAN 200
PATIENTS, AFTER ITS BACKUP
GENERATOR FAILED.
IN QUEENS, A FIRE DESTROYED
AT LEAST 50 HOMES IN THE
BREEZY POINT NEIGHBORHOOD.
FIREFIGHTERS HAD DIFFICULTY
ENTERING THE AREA DUE TO
FLOODING.
MANY FIRE HYDRANTS WERE
COMPLETELY UNDER WATER.
NEARLY 200 FIREFIGHTERS
BATTLED THE SIX-ALARM
BLAZE.
FURTHER SOUTH, A U.S. COAST
GUARD TEAM RESCUED 14 CREW
MEMBERS FROM A SHIP THAT
SUNK.
SANDY CAUSED SNOWSTORMS IN
VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA,
NORTH CARL CAR, AND
TENNESSEE.
SOME AREAS EXPERIENCING
BLIZZARD WARNINGS.
THE STORM IS WORKING ITS WAY
ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AND
UPSTATE NEW YORK.
CBN'S "OPERATION BLESSING"
HAS BEEN WATCHING THE STORM
AND MAKING PREPARATIONS TO
BRING HELP TO THOSE WHO NEED
IT MOST.
WE, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN
AMERICA, IS WATCHING THE
WEATHER CHANNEL, WATCHING
THE TV, WAITING TO SEE JUST
WHAT THIS STORM IS GOING TO
DO.
WHATEVER IT DOES, WE'LL BE
RESPONDING TO IT.
NO DOUBT, WE'LL BE ON THE
SCENE WITHIN 24 HOURS
WHEREVER IT DOES COME ASHORE
OR WHEREVER IT IS NEEDED
MOST.
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat:
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
UNDER WAY.
IT'S GOTTEN BLANKETS AND
MEDICINE AND FOOD STORED UP,
AND WE'LL BE RUSHING.
BUT IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHEN
THE ROADS ARE IMPASSEABLE.
I'M SURE THE FLOODWATERS
WILL RECEDE, AS THEY DID IN
THE GREAT FLOOD, BUT THIS IS
A MASSIVE, MASSIVE STORM.
AS I SAID EARLIER, IT WAS AN
ESTIMATE THAT WE WOULD HAVE
AS MUCH AS $100 BILLION IN
DAMAGE.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS GOING
TO REACH THAT MUCH, BUT THE
CONSEQUENCES, WHEN YOU
CONSIDER WHAT IS GOING ON
ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
AND THE OTHER THING IS THE
AFFECT OF THE ELECTION.
HAD IS STILL INDETERMINANT
BECAUSE WE'RE JUST A FEW
DAYS AWAY FROM THE
ELECTION.
TERRY --
Terry: EARLIER, THEY
WERE TALKING ABOUT
$100 BILLION TO $200 BILLION
OF DAMAGE.
Pat: REALLY?
THAT MUCH?
Terry: YEAH.
I HOPE THEY'RE NOT ACCURATE
ON THAT.
Pat: IT SHOWS HOW
TECHNOLOGICAL SPEA SUPERIOR
WE ARE, WE CAN RALLY
TOGETHER AS A NATION AND
SURVIVE THESE THINGS, BUT,
AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A
BODY BLOW TO OUR ECONOMY.
THEY KEEP COMING TO US.
MAYBE WE'LL HEED SOME
WARNINGS AND CONTINUE TO
PRAY.
WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR
PEOPLE IN THE FLOOD, BUT TO
BE IN COLD WATER AND NOT
HAVE POWER, NOT HAVE WATER,
AND NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF
ELECTRICITY, IT IS VERY,
VERY SERIOUS.
"OPERATION BLESSING" WILL BE
THERE WITH GENERATORS AND
ALL OF THE THINGS WE CAN GET
ON THE SCENE IN WHATEVER
PART OF THE COUNTRY IS
HURTING BECAUSE IT IS NOW
OVER A WIDE, WIDE SWATH OF
LAND.
LEE WEBB HAS MORE ON SANDY'S
IMPACT ON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
ON THE EAST COAST.
LEE?
Lee: THAT'S RIGHT,
PAT.
THE STORM LEFT FOUR MILLION
WITHOUT POWER IN NEW YORK
AND NEW JERSEY, AND FLOODED
KEY PARTS OF NEW YORK CITY.
CHARLENE ISRAEL WAS THERE AS
SANDY CAME ASHORE.
Reporter: THOUSANDS
HERE IN THE GARDEN STATE ARE
WAKING UP THIS MORNING TO
THE AFTERMATH OF THE LARGEST
ATLANTIC STORM EVER.
COSTUMERS WHO WERE STAYING
AT THIS COMFORT INN RIGHT
BEHIND ME HAD TO BE RESCUED
LAST NIGHT ON LIFE RAFTS.
SANDY ARRIVED HOURS SOONER
THAN FORECASTERS EXPECTED.
THOUSANDS EVACUATED THE
STATE AS MASSIVE FLOODING
FROM THE HUDSON RIVER
THREATENED THIS HOSPITAL AND
GAS PIPELINE.
THE WINDS ARE WHIPPING AT
ABOUT 45 MILE-AN-HOUR IN
EDGEWATER, NEW JERSEY, AND
THE
HUDSON RIVER BEHIND ME
IS QUICKLY RISING.
IN NEW YORK, STREETS SAT
EMPTY AS SANDY BARRELED
TOWARDS THE CITY.
EMERGENCY OFFICIALS ORDERED
THOUSANDS OUT OF LOW-LYING
AREAS.
IT TURNED UP THE ATLANTIC
COAST WITH REENTLESS RAIN.
HEAVY WINDS TOPPLED THIS
CRANE THAT WAS LEFT HANGING
90 STORIES ON A HIGHRISE IN
NEW YORK CITY, AND APARTMENT
BUILDING WAS SEVERELY
DAMAGED.
THE STORM ALSO CAUSED A HUGE
EXPLOSION OF THE 14th
STREET CON EDISON POWER
PLANTER.
AND THE POWER AUTHORITY
TWEETED THIS PHOTO OF
FLOODWATERS RUSHING INTO THE
HOHOBOKEN TRAIN STATION.
THE POWER OUTAGES.
YOU JUST HAVE TOO BIG A WIND
FIELD WI WITH THIS, AND,
YOU KNOW, NEW JERSEY, P.A.,
SOUTHERN NEW YORK, A LOT OF
LEAVES ON THE TREES, EVEN
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY.
SO I THINK THAT THE DURATION
OF THE WIND WILL TAKE ITS
TOLL ON THAT.
Reporter: STORM SURGE
IS ANOTHER THREAT, IS SURE
TO AFFECT THE CITY'S NEARLY
50,000 HOMELESS POPULATION.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY
LONG, ROUGH NIGHT.
ACTUALLY, PROBABLY A DAY AND
A HALF.
I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU SURVIVE
OUT IN THIS SCENE.
IT IS GOING TO BE WET, COLD,
AND WINDY.
AND THERE IS DANGER OF
FLOOD, EVEN IN THE CITY
HERE.
Reporter: MEANWHILE,
MANY WILL FEEL THE FURY FROM
SANDY FOR QUITE SOMETIME.
COASTAL FLOODWATERS REMAIN
IN EFFECT UNTIL LATER
TODAY.
REPORTING IN EDGEWATER, NEW
JERSEY, CHARLENE ISRAEL, CBN
NEWS.
Lee: AND SANDY HIT THE
NATION'S COAST.
IT LEFT A HALF MILLION
WITHOUT POWER THERE.
JENNIFER WISHON HAS THAT
STORY FROM D.C.
Reporter: SANDY WAS NO
LADY AS SHE ROARED INTO THE
NATION'S CAPITAL.
DROPPING A STUDY RAIN THAT
WAS AT TIMES BLINDING, AND
WHIPPING UP WIND GUSTS,
TOPPING 75 MILES PER HOUR.
DRIVE THE STEET STREETS OF
WASHINGTON, AND YOU'LL FIND
STREETS ON THE STREETS,
LISTEN, AND YOU'LL
UNDERSTAND WHY.
DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE
STORM, CITY STREETS WERE
DESERTED, GIVING EMERGENCY
OFFICIALS ROOM TO WORK.
THIS CALL WAS A FALSE
ALARM.
FOR A SECOND DAY, THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SHUT
DOWN.
AND THE CITY'S METRO SYSTEM
WON'T ACCEPT PASSENGERS
UNTIL CREWS HAVE ASSESSED
ANY DAMAGE.
WELL, IT IS NOT AS
INTENSE AS I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE HERE.
OBVIOUSLY, IN NEW YORK
AND FURTHER UP NORTH, IT
LOOKS A LOT WORSE.
BUT HERE, ANYWAYS, IS
MANAGEABLE.
Reporter: BUT FOR THE
THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER, AND
THE OWNERS OF THIS VIRGINIA
HOME, SANDY IS BAD ENOUGH.
THIS IS A SCENE THAT
REPEATED ITSELF IN THE
SUBURBS OF VIRGINIA AND
MARYLAND.
SATURATED GROUND MADE
UPROOTING TREES ALL TOO
EASY.
AS THE WINDS DIE DOWN, POWER
CREWS WILL GET OUT AND TAKE
A LOOK AT THE DAMAGE.
CREWS AS FAR AWAY AS
WASHINGTON STATE STAND BY.
THESE
GEORGETOWN BUSINESSES
ARE READY WITH SANDBAGS.
ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT
THREATENING ITS PROPERTY
YET, BUT
THE PA PATOMAC
RIVER COULD HAVE ITS WORST
FLOODING.
Lee: PAT, AS YOU
MENTIONED, IT SEEMS THE MID
ATLANTIC SURVIVED THIS STORM
FAIRLY WELL.
IT WILL BE A COUPLE OF DAYS
BEFORE THE NORTHEAST --
UNTIL WE FIND OUT HOW THEY
FARED.
Pat: IT IS WISE TO SHUT
THE SUBWAYS DOWN BECAUSE
THOSE HAVE ELECTRIC POWER,
THE SO-CALLED THIRD RAIL,
AND THEY RUN ON ELECTROFIED
POWER ON THOSE RAILS.
YOU GET THOSE FLOODS, AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'VE
BURNED OUT ALL KINDS OF
GENERATORS AND MOTORS IN
SUBWAYS, AND IT WOULD BE
MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD GET
IT STARTED.
MAYOR BLOOMBERG WAS VERY
WISE TO PULL THE POWER OFF
AND SAY EVERYBODY HAS GOT TO
WALK FOR A WHILE, SO THEY
CAN HAVE SUBWAY SERVICE
RESTORED.
IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK
OR MORE.
WITH THE ELECTION COMING
UP -- WHEW!
NEXT TUESDAY.
Terry: HARD TO
BELIEVE.
Pat: WE'VE GOT PEOPLE
WHO SAY LET'S PRAY.
I THINK THAT WE HERE --
USUALLY WE'RE IN THE APEX OF
HURRICANES.
THIS IS HURRICANE ALLEY
WHERE WE LIVE, AND VIRGINIA
BEACH AND NORFOLK HAVE BEEN
HIT BY HURRICANES OVER AND
OVER AGAIN.
THIS TIME THE HURRICANE WAS
STRONG, AND THERE WAS A LOT
OF WIND AND RAIN, BUT
NOTHING APPROACHING WHAT
HAPPENED UP NORTH OF US.
WE WANT TO PRAY FOR THEM,
AND WHEREVER YOU LIVE, HAVE
COMPASSION.
AND SOME ARE SAYING I WANT
TO PRAY FOR OUR ECONOMY TO
BE REBOUND, AND JOBS TO BE
CREATED AND OUR NATION TO
PROSPER.
WELL, WE WANT TO DO THAT.
WE'LL PRAY RIGHT NOW.
FATHER, TERRY AND I JOIN
TOGETHER.
WE PRAY FOR THESE WHO ARE
WITHOUT POWER.
WE PRAY FOR THESE WHO ARE
COLD, THESE WHO DON'T HAVE
ADEQUATE WATER, THESE WHO
DON'T HAVE FOOD.
WE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
SUFFERED LOSS.
AND WE PRAY, OH, GOD, THAT
THIS NATION THAT YOU MIGHT
BLESS IT.
BRING US TO THE POINT, LORD,
WHERE WE WILL BE SUITABLE
FOR YOUR BLESSING.
BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE A
NATION BLESSED BY GOD.
UNITE TOGETHER.
UNITE AS ONE PEOPLE.
LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR
THESE, THE FIREFIGHTERS, THE
POLICE, THE FIRST RESPONDERS
OF VARIOUS NATURE, WHO HAVE
BEEN OUT TIRELESSLY WORKING
TO BRING THIS SOCIETY BACK
TO A NORMAL LEVEL.
THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THEM.
GIVE THEM STRENGTH AND
BLESSING IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
Terry: AMEN.
AMEN.
UP NEXT, A BIZARRE
SITUATION, THE COFFINS OF
INFANTS ARE BEING OPENED ALL
ACROSS SPAIN BECAUSE MANY OF
THEM ARE EMPTY.
FIND OUT WHY WHEN WE COME
BACK.
STILL AHEAD, MEET A
SURGEON WHO DIES AND GOES TO
HEAVEN.
THEY BEGAN TAKING ME DOWN
THIS BEAUTIFUL PATH
EXPLODING WITH COLOR.
I SAW SOULS, LOST SOULS,
IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
THEY WAS CRYING AND CALLING
ON GOD.
THEY WAS HOPELESS.
Pat: YOU'VE HEARD IN
THE NEWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS
OF THE ECONOMY OF SPAIN.
THEY'VE GOT UNEMPLOYMENT
OVER THERE OF SOMETHING LIKE
25%, AND WE UNDERSTAND AMONG
YOUNG PEOPLE, THE TEENAGED
POPULATION, UNEMPLOYMENT IS
AS HIGH AS 50%.
THE SPANISH ECONOMY IS
REELING.
SO YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU
ABOUT, THOUGH.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE
REVELATION.
IN SPAIN, MORE AND MORE
ADULTS ARE MAKING A SHOCKING
DISCOVERY.
THEY'RE NOT WHO THEY THOUGHT
THEY WERE.
THEY WERE STOLEN FROM THEIR
REAL PARENTS WHEN THEY WERE
INFANTS, AND SOLD ON THE
BLACK MARKET.
IT'S A STAGGERING SCANDAL
THAT HAS SPAIN TURNED -- OR
DUBBED A SUPERMARKET FOR
BABIES.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
DALE HERD HAS THIS STORY.
Reporter: AT A CEMETERY
IN BARCELONA, TRUCKS ARRIVE
FOR A COURT-ORDERED
EXUMATION.
THEY ARE OPENING THE COFFINS
TO SEE IF THERE ARE BABIES
INSIDE.
SPAIN HAS DISCOVERED MANY OF
THE COFFINS ARE EMPTY.
IT IS KNOWN SIMPLY AS THE
STOLEN BABIES.
THE SHEAR SCALE OF IT IS
STAGGERING.
IT IS A STORY HORRIFYING
IN ITS MAGNITUDE.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
SPANISH BABIES, TAKEN FROM
THEIR MOTHERS AT BIRTH, AND
SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET.
BEGINNING DURING THE FRANCO
DICTATORSHIP IN 1989,
CONTINUING INTO THE 1990s,
NEWBORNS WERE STOLEN FROM
HOSPITALS AND TRAFFICKED BY
A SECRET NETWORK OF DOCTORS,
NURSES, PRIESTS AND NUNS.
IT BEGAN AS A WAY TO TAKE
CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES
CONSIDERED POLITICALLY
DANGEROUS, TO REEDUCATE
THEM.
THE ATTENDING NURSE WOULD
TAKE THE NEWBORN FROM THE
MOTHER TO HAVE IT EXAMINED
OR CLEEPPED CLEANED, AND
WHAT RETURN WITH A DEAD BABY
THAT WAS KEPT IN THE FREEZER
AT HOSPITAL AS PROOF THAT
THE BABY DIED.
THE COF FO COFFIN WOULD
HAVE LIMBS FROM ANOTHER
PATIENT.
IT TURNED INTO A GIANT
MONEY-MAKING OPERATION.
IT NEVER CAME TO LIGHT UNTIL
A MAN NAMED JUAN LUIS MARENO
SAT BY HIS FATHER'S DEATH
BED, AND WERE TOLD THAT HE
AND HIS FRIEND WERE
PURCHASED FROM A NUN.
IT WAS HORRIBLE, FIRST TO
KNOW THAT MY FATHER WAS
DYING, AND THEN TO LEARN
THAT HE WASN'T MY REAL
FATHER, AND THAT MY BEST
CHILDHOOD FRIEND WAS STOLEN,
JUST LIKE I WAS.
WHEN I WAS A BOY, OTHER
BOYS AT SCHOOL SAID MY
MOTHER WASN'T MY REAL
MOTHER.
I ASKED HER, AND SHE SAID,
OF COURSE YOU'RE MY SON.
BUT WHEN I DID A D.N.A. TEST
WITH MY MOTHER, THE
PROBABILITY OF MATERNITY WAS
0%.
Reporter: ANTONIO
STARTED A FOUNDATION
FIGHTING FOR THE VICTIMS OF
THIS SCANDAL.
I REALIZED I NEEDED TO
ESTABLISH AN ORGANIZATION TO
SEE IF THE COURTS WOULD PAY
ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY WERE
IGNORING US.
Reporter: AND AS THEIR
STORIES SPREAD THROUGH THE
MEDIA, MORE AND MORE WOMEN
WHO BELIEVED THEIR SPANISH
BABIES WERE STOLEN STARTED
TO COME FORWARD.
I AM PROXI MOXIA, I AM
LOOK FOR FOR MY DAUGHTER
BORN IN 1982.
I SAW HER AT BIRTH AND I
DIDN'T SEE HER AGAIN.
SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD DIED.
I AM LOOKING FOR MY
BROTHER, WHO WAS BORN IN
1991.
I BELIEVE SPAIN WAS A
SUPERMARKET FOR BABIES.
Reporter: THE SPANISH
HAVE STARTED TO EXAM
ADOPTION
PAPERS AND FOUND
THAT MANY
HAVE BEEN
FALSIFIED, AND
NOT VERY
CREATIVELY.
THIS PERSON'S DOCUMENT SAYS
HIS PARENTS WERE MARY AND
JOSEPH.
WE SAT DOWN WITH SOME OF THE
VICTIMS, WOMEN LOOKING FOR
THEIR PARENTS, A BROTHER OR
A SISTER, OR THEIR
CHILDREN.
ALL FEEL THE GOVERNMENT IS
DRAGGING ITS FEET.
SOMETIMES WE FEEL AS IF
THEY ARE PLAYING WITH US.
WE WANT REAL JUSTICE.
AND BRAVE JUDGES.
WE WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO
SUPPORT US.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
STRENGTH.
IT'S A BLACK HOLE.
WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE OUR
SISTERS, BROTHERS ARE.
AND IN THE CASE OF THE
MOTHERS, THEIR BABIES, BUT
THEY ARE NOT BABIES.
THEY'RE OLD.
Reporter: ENRIQUE IS
THE AUTHOR OF A BEST-SELLING
BOOK CALLED "THE STOLEN
BABIES."
SPANISH JUSTICE IS
DECEIVING US.
THEY DECEIVE US BY GIVING US
THE IMAGE THEY'RE WORKING TO
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, THAT
THEY'RE INVESTIGATING IT.
IT'S A GOOD POLITICAL IMAGE
TO SHOW THE REST OF THE
WORLD.
Reporter: RUMORS OF
STOLEN BABIES HAVE
CIRCULATED IN SPAIN FOR
DECADES.
BUT THE CASES HAVE NOT GONE
TO COURT UNTIL THIS YEAR.
IT SEEMS INCREDIBLE THAT
THERE ARE DOCTORS, MEDICAL
ASSISTANTS, THERE ARE
NURSES, THERE ARE NUNS, WHO
ARE STILL LOOSE ON THE
STREETS WHO HAVE STOLE
CHILDREN AND BECOME RICH
WITH MILLIONS OF PASEDAS AND
EUROS, AND THEY HAVE NOT YET
BEEN ARRESTED OR DETAINED OR
PUT IN PRISON.
THIS TYPE OF THING WOULD NOT
HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER
COMPANY.
Reporter: VILLA DOES
NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS PART OF
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, BUT HE
WONDERED IF THEY LOOKED THE
OTHER WAY.
CHURCH OFFICIALS DENY IT.
SPAIN IS A NATION OF
TORTURED SOULS.
WHO THOUGHT THEY KNEW WHO
THEY WERE AND NOW THEY FIND
OUT THEY'RE SOMEONE ELSE.
YOU FIND OUT THIS BIG LIE
THAT THEY SOLD ANTONIO AND
ME -- IT'S A CRIME.
IT IS THE BUYING AND SELLING
OF BABIES LIKE SOMEONE WHO
JUST BUYS A COMPUTER.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
I CRY EVERY NIGHT WHEN I
GO TO SLEEP FOR MY
DAUGHTER.
WHEN SHE WAS BORN, I COULD
NOT HUG HER.
I ONLY HAD HER ON MY
BREAST.
THEY PUT HER THERE WHILE
THEY CUT THE UMBILICAL
CORD.
THEY CUT THE CORD AND THEY
TOOK HER, AND I DIDN'T SEE
HER AGAIN.
Reporter: EVEN IF THE
SPANISH LEGAL SYSTEM GETS TO
THE BOTTOM OF THIS SCANDAL,
IT CAN NEVER REPAIR THE
DAMAGE DONE TO SO MANY
SPANISH MOTHERS, AND THE
CHILDREN THEY NEVER KNEW.
DALE HERD, CBN NEWS, VAL
VALENCIA, SPAIN.
Pat: DALE IS ON SOME OF
SOME EXTRAORDINARY STORIES.
WHAT A GREAT REPORTER.
Terry: HOW BIZARRE.
Pat: YOU KNOW, THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS HAD THIS
INCREDIBLE SCANDAL WITH
THESE PEDOPHILE PRIESTS, ONE
AFTER THE OTHER, DIOCESE
AFTER DIOCESE, AND PEOPLE
HAVE GONE TO JAIL, AND THERE
HAVE BEEN ALL KINDS OF CIVIL
DAMAGES EXACTED AGAINST THE
CHURCH.
NOW IF THE NUNS WERE
COMPLICIT IN THIS SORT OF
THING THAT TOOK PLACE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHERE THERE
IS SUCH TRUST IN THE
CATHOLIC HOSPITALS.
AND THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE
TRUSTING THESE NUNS AND
THESE PRIESTS TO LOOK AFTER
THEM.
AND TO THINK THAT MAY HAVE
BEEN IN LEAGUE WITH FRANCO
TO STEAL THEIR BABIES AND
SELL THEM -- IT IS APPALLING
TO THINK OF.
Terry: YOU SEE THE PAIN
ON THE FACES OF THOSE PEOPLE
WHO ARE EITHER LOOKING FOR
THEIR CHILDREN OR GROWN
ADULTS LOOKING FOR THEIR
PARENTS AND FAMILY.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Pat: UNBELIEVABLE.
AND IT IS NOT JUST THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.
IT IS THE DOCTORS AND THE
HOSPITALS --
Terry: IT IS THE
SYSTEM, IT SEEMS, YES.
Pat: THE GOVERNMENT,
OBVIOUSLY, WAS INVOLVED.
IT STARTED OUT TRYING TO
CLEANSE THE POPULATION OF
THOSE WHO WOULD BE OPPOSED
TO FRANCO.
MAN, THEY HAD SUFFERING.
THEY HAD SUFFERING,
UNBELIEVABLE SUFFERING.
THERE WAS A SPECIAL ON ONE
OF THE CABLE NETWORKS ABOUT
GOYA, YOU KNOW, THE PAINTER,
AND THEY HAD AN INSTANT HERE
WHERE THERE WAS SOME PRIEST
WHO HAD SEX WITH -- THEY
ARRESTED SOME GIRL DURING
THE INQUISITION, AND
TORTURED HER.
SHE HADN'T DONE ANYTHING,
BUT THEN THIS PRIEST COMES
TO HELP HER AND HE
APPARENTLY SEDUCES HER AND
SHE HAD A CHILD AND THEY PUT
HER IN AN ASSANE ASYLUM.
BUT YOU SEE THE PAINTINGS OF
GOYA, AND WHAT THEY DID TO
THESE PEOPLE.
AND THE INQUISITION, ON TOP
OF IT, WAS HORRIBLE.
Terry: AND IT IS
INTERESTING THAT IT HAS
TAKEN THIS LONG FOR ANY OF
THIS TO COME TO LIFE.
Pat: WELL, WHO WANTS TO
TELL?
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP, AN
ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON DESCRIBES
WHAT MEDICINE CAN'T
COMPLAIN: HOW SHE DIED, WENT
TO HEAVEN, AND CAME BACK TO
EARTH.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
Pat: STORIES TOLD OF A
GROUP OF NORSE WARRIORS WHO
WERE IN A GREAT CASTLE, AND
THE LIGHT OF THE FIRE WAS
FLICKERING.
AND ONE CHIEF STOOD UP, AND
HE SAID HOW LIFE IS LIKE A
BIRD THAT FLIES INTO THE
LIGHT, AND THEN FLIES OUT
AGAIN THROUGH ONE OF THE
WINDOWS.
CAN ANY OF US TELL WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN WE LEAVE THE
LIGHT AND GO OUT INTO THE
OTHER WORLD?
AND THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN
ECHOED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME,
HUMAN BEINGS HAVE ASKED THAT
QUESTION.
INCLUDING MARY NEIL.
MARY WAS A SURGEON.
AND DR. NEIL WAS ALWAYS
SKEPTICAL OF PEOPLE WHO
DESCRIBED LIFE AFTER DEATH
EXPERIENCES.
BUT NOT ANYMORE.
Reporter: DR. MARY NEIL
IS AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON,
WHO SHARES HER MEDICAL
PRACTICE AND HER LOVE FOR
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE WITH HER
HUSBAND, BILL.
IN 1999, THEY PLANNED AN
ADVENTURE THAT TOOK MARY ON
A SPIRITUAL VENTURE THAT
MANY HAVE NOT TAKEN.
MY HUSBAND AND I ENJOY
TRAVELLING, WE SPEAK
SPANISH, AND WE HAVE
TRAVELLED INTERNATIONALLY A
NUMBER OF TIMES.
FOR MY HUSBAND'S BIRTH, I
SAID, OKAY, THIS IS THE YEAR
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT.
SO WE WENT TO CHILE FOR A
VACATION TO KAYAK.
Reporter: AFTER A WEEK
OF KAYAKING, BILL SAT OUT
THE FINAL DAY WITH A SORE
BACK.
MARY AND HER GROUP KAYAKED
THROUGH A TREACHEROUS AREA
OF THE RIVER.
THESE WERE DROPS OF
20 FEET, WHICH FOR AN
EXPERIENCED KAYAKER IS NOT A
CRAZY THING.
I WENT OVER THE MAIN DROP,
AND I CRESTED OVER THE DROP,
I COULD SEE THE TREMENDOUS
TURBULENCE AND TREMENDOUS
VOLUME.
AS I HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE
DROP, THE FRONT END OF MY
BOAT BECAME PINNED.
I AND MY BOAT WERE
IMMEDIATELY AND COMPLETELY
SUBMERGED.
THE VOLUME AND FORCE OF THE
WATER WAS SUCH THAT I WAS
ABSOLUTELY PRESSED TO THE
FRONT DECK OF THE BOAT.
AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY ARMS,
EVEN BACK FAR ENOUGH TO
REACH MY SPRAY SKIRT, LET
ALONE PUSH MYSELF OUT.
Reporter: MARY WAS
STUCK.
THE ONLY THING SHE COULD DO
WAS PRAY.
I VERY SINCERELY ASKED
THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE.
AND I MEANT IT.
I DIDN'T SAY OH, PLEASE COME
AND SAVE ME.
I REALLY MEANT IT.
I ASKED FOR GOD'S WILL TO BE
DONE.
AND AT THE MOMENT I ASKED
THAT, I WAS OVERCOME BY A
VERY PHYSICAL SENSATION OF
BEING HELD AND COMFORTED AND
REASSURED.
THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
THAT MY HUSBAND WOULD BE
FINE.
MY FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN WOULD
BE FINE REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER I LIVED OR DIED.
AND I BELIEVE THAT CHRIST
WAS HOLDING ME WHEN I WAS
STILL IN THE BOAT AND WAS
THE ONE REASSURING ME.
Reporter: AFTER SEVERAL
MINUTES OF SEARCHING, THE
GROUP LEADERS REALIZED MARY
WAS TRAPPED UNDER THE
FALLS.
THEY CAME OUT ON THE
ROCKS, AND THEY KEPT TRYING
TO GET TO THE BOAT.
BUT THE FORCE AND THE VOLUME
OF THE WATER WAS SUCH THAT
THEY JUST KEPT BEING FLUSHED
THROUGH.
I MEAN, THEY JUST COULDN'T
GET TO ME.
AT ONE POINT THEY SORT OF
RECOGNIZED THAT IT WAS
REALLY TURNING INTO BODY
RECOVERY, NOT SO MUCH OF A
RESCUE.
MY BODY WAS BEING SUCKED
OVER THE FRONT DECK.
AND SO WHAT THAT MEANT IS
WHEN IT GOT TO MY KNEES, MY
KNEES BENT BACK ON
THEMSELVES, AND I COULD FEEL
THAT.
AND I'M AN ORTHOPEDIC
SURGEON, I WAS THINKING,
WELL, IT FEELS LIKE MY TIBIA
PROBABLY BROKE, BUT I WASN'T
SCREAMING.
I DIDN'T HAVE PAIN.
I DIDN'T HAVE FEAR.
I DIDN'T HAVE THAT SENSE OF
AIR HUNGER.
I KNOW I HAD BEEN UNDER
WATER TOO LONG TO BE ALIVE,
AND YET I FEEL MORE ALIVE
THAN I'VE EVER FELT.
AND THIS IS MORE REAL THAN
ANYTHING I'VE EVER
EXPERIENCED.
AS MY BODY BROKE FREE FROM
MY BOAT, I FELT MY SPIRIT
BREAK FREE FROM MY BODY.
AND I ROSE UP AND OUT OF THE
RIVER.
Reporter: MARY LOOKED
DOWN ON THE RIVER AS SHE
LEFT HER BODY.
THEN SHE WAS MET BY A GROUP
OF HEAVENLY BEINGS.
THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY
OVERJOYED TO SEE ME AND
GREET ME, AND I, THEM.
I KNEW THEY HAD KNOWN ME AND
LOVED ME AS LONG AS I
EXISTED.
AND I KNEW THAT I HAD KNOWN
THEM AND LOVED THEM.
AND I KNEW THAT THEY HAD
BEEN SENT BY GOD.
THEY BEGAN TAKING MY DOWN
THIS EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL
PATH THAT WAS BRILLIANT, AND
THEY WERE TAKING ME TOWARDS
THIS GREAT DOMED STRUCTURE
OF SORTS THAT NOT ONLY WAS
EXPLODING WITH BEAUTY AND
COLOR, BUT IT WAS EXPLODING
WITH THIS ABSOLUTE LOVE OF
GOD THAT WAS BEYOND ANYTHING
I COULD EVER DESCRIBE OR
EVER TRULY EXPLAIN.
AND I COULD HARDLY WAIT.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMED
BY THIS SENSATION OF BEING
HOME.
OF BEING WHERE I BELONGED,
BUT JUST AS QUICKLY THERE
WAS THIS SENSE OF
DISAPPOINTMENT THAT
DESCENDED ON EVERYONE.
AND THE SPIRITS WHO HAD
TAKEN ME THERE TOLD ME THAT
IT WASN'T MY TIME.
AND I HAD MORE WORK TO DO ON
EARTH, AND I HAD TO GO BACK
TO MY BODY.
Reporter: AFTER WHAT
SEEMED LIKE HOURS WITH HER
HEAVENLY HOST, DR. NEIL
RETURNED TO THE RIVER AND
WATCHED AS HER FRIENDS
RECOVERED HER BODY.
I COULD SEE MY BODY BEING
PULLED TO THE SHORE.
I COULD SEE THE GUYS START
C.P.R.
I FELT LIKE HE WAS LOOKING
RIGHT AT ME, AND BEGGING ME
TO COME BACK AND TAKE A
BREATH.
AND I LIED DOWN AND I WAS
REUNITED.
IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY
REMOTE PART OF SOUTH
AMERICA.
Reporter: DR. NEIL HAD
BEEN GONE FOR OVER 15
MINUTES, PERHAPS AS LONG AS
25.
CERTAINLY LONGER THAN
MEDICAL SCIENCE CAN EXPLAIN
HER SURVIVAL.
SHE WAS FLOWN BACK TO THE
UNITED STATES WHERE SHE
SLOWLY RECOVERED FROM HER
INJURIES.
IN HER BOOK, "TO HEAVEN AND
BACK," SHE TALKS ABOUT HOW
THE REALITY OF GOD'S LOVE
HAS CHANGED HER FOR
ETERNITY.
ALL OF THE PROMISES OF
GOD ARE TRUE.
GOD LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF US AND REALLY IS THERE,
AND IS WORKING IN EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF OUR LIVES.
THAT LOVE IS EVERYTHING.
IF WE TRULY COULD ACCEPT
THAT, I MEAN IT CHANGES
EVERYTHING.
IT CHANGES THE WAY YOU VIEW
EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY.
THE FACT THAT THERE REALLY
IS LIFE AFTER DEATH
PROFOUNDLY CHANGES THE WAY
YOU APPROACH EVERY MOMENT.
Pat: THE FACT THAT
THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH
PROFOUNDLY AFFECTS HOW YOU
APPROACH EVERY MOMENT.
LIKE DR. MARY NEIL, CARL
LIGHTON HAS ALSO COME BACK
FROM THE DEAD.
BUT WHEN CARL OVERDOSED ON
DRUGS, THE ANGELS DIDN'T
TAKE HIM TO HEAVEN.
CARL WENT DIRECTLY TO HELL.
HELL IS DEFINITELY REAL.
IT'S REAL.
VERY MUCH REAL.
Reporter: CARL NIGHTON
KNOWS WHAT HELL IS LIKE
BECAUSE HE SAYS HE WENT
THERE AFTER HE ACCIDENTALLY
OVERDOSED ON A DRUG CALLED
VALIUM.
LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS,
YOU'RE IN TORMENT.
Reporter: EVEN THOUGH
IT HAPPENED MORE THAN 20
YEARS AGO, CARL WAS ABLE TO
DRAW PICTURES OF WHAT HE
SAYS HE ENCOUNTERED IN
HELLLY.
> HELL.
THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE,
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET OUT,
OUT OF THE FIRE.
THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN GET
OUT.
THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM.
Reporter: CARL GREW UP
IN A CHRISTIAN HOME WHERE HE
HAD BEEN TAUGHT THAT HEAVEN
AND HELL WERE REAL PLACES.
EVEN AS A CHILD, HE WAS
SENSITIVE OF THE THINGS OF
GOD.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THE
PRESENCE OF GOD, AND I'VE
SEEN ANGELS OF GOD TO LET ME
KNOW THAT GOD WAS WITH ME.
Reporter: AFTER HIGH
SCHOOL, CARL WENT TO THE
MILITARY AND WAS MARRIED.
BUT THEY WERE SHORT-LIVED.
THE PLATOON LEADER WOULD
COME TO ME, SAYING YOU'RE
NOT DOING YOUR JOB.
YOU SHOULD BE DOING BETTER
THAN THIS.
YOU WILL NEVER MAKE THE NEXT
RANK.
SO I GOT REALLY FRUSTRATED.
Reporter:
Reporter: CARL DECIDED
IT WAS TIME TO GET OUT OF
THE ARMY BY GOING AWOL.
HE HITCHHIKED TO OHIO TO SEE
AN OLD FRIEND.
HE THEN WENT ON A TWO-WEEK
DRUG BINGE.
YOU COULD SMELL THE
STENCH OF THE CRACK
COCAINE.
YOU COULD SMELL THE STENCH
OF THE MARIJUANA.
PEOPLE WAS HIGH AND LAYING
ACROSS THE FLOORS.
Reporter: CARL SMOKED
SOME CRACK AND STARTED USING
ALCOHOL AND USING OTHER
DRUGS.
HE SAYS HE BELIEVES IT WAS
THE LAST PILL HE TOOK THAT
SENT HIM ON A JOURNEY TO
HELL.
I TOOK THAT VALIUM, AND
BEFORE I KNEW IT, I FELL OFF
THE COUCH AND ON TO THE
FLOOR.
IT WAS PITCH-BLACK DARK.
I BEGAN TO QUIVER.
I BEGAN TO HAVE THE SHAKES.
AND I BEGAN GOING DOWN AND
DOWN AND DOWN, LIKE A DEEP
PIT.
AND I STARTED SMELLING THE
STENCH OF HELL.
IT IS THE MOST ROTTENOUS
THING YOU CAN EVER SMELL IN
YOUR LIFE.
IN FACT, YOU CAN'T EVEN
IMAGINE IT.
I BEGAN TO FEEL A TUGGING, A
PULLING.
LIKE THE BIBLE SAID, DEMONS
TUG AND NAG AT YOU.
THEY WERE CALLING MY NAME,
SAYING WE GOTCHA, WE GOTCHA;
YOU BELONG TO US NOW.
I SAW SOULS, SOULS IN
TORMENT, IN THE LAKE OF
FIRE.
THEY WAS CRYING AND CALLING
ON GOD, AND THEY WAS
HOPELESS.
AND I CALLED ON THE LORD.
JESUS, JESUS, HELP ME,
JESUS!
HELP ME, JESUS!
AND AS SOON AS I CALLED ON
HIS NAME, I SAW THE HAND OF
GOD SNAP ME OUT OF HELL, AND
MY SPIRIT WENT BACK INTO MY
BODY.
Reporter: CARL SAYS HE
WAS IN HELL FOR MORE THAN A
HALF HOUR.
I WAS SHAKING AND
TREMBLING, AND I TURNED MY
HEAD TO THE RIGHT, AND THEY
SAID I WAS DEAD.
AND THEY SAID IT WAS 30 TO
35 MINUTES.
BUT I KNOW THERE IS A LOVING
GOD THAT LOVED ME SO MUCH.
Reporter: THREE DAYS
LATER, CARL RETURNED TO
VIRGINIA TO FACE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF GOING AWOL.
HE WAS DEMOTED AND CONFINED
TO THE BARRACKS FOR ONE
MONTH.
DURING THAT TIME ALONE, HE
COMPLETELY SURRENDERED HIS
LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST.
I IMMEDIATELY ASKED THE
LORD TO FORGIVE ME, REPENT,
PUT THEM SINS BEHIND ME AND
GO FORWARD.
AND GOD -- I REALLY GAVE MY
LIFE BACK TO CHRIST AFTER
THAT.
Reporter: TODAY CARL IS
MARRIED AGAIN.
HE IS ALSO ON A MISSION TO
TELL AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE
CAN ABOUT THE REALITY OF
HEAVEN AND HELL.
GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH.
HE LOVED ME SO MUCH THAT HE
GIVES ME A SECOND CHANCE.
AND I'M HERE TO TELL THE
STORY.
NOT A STORY, BUT THE TRUE
TESTIMONY OF HOW AWESOME GOD
IS.
IF PEOPLE WOULD ONLY LISTEN
AND DON'T TAKE GOD FOR
GRANTED.
DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY
AWAY.
CHOOSE JESUS AS YOUR
SAVIOR.
Pat: REMEMBER JOSHUA
BROUGHT THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
TOGETHER AND SAID THERE IS
BLESSING AND CURSING, LIFE
AND DEATH, AND HE SAID
CHOOSE LIFE.
FOLKS, HEAVEN IS REAL.
YOUR SPIRIT THAT IS WITHIN
YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER.
IT DOES NOT DIE.
THE BODY YOU HAVE WILL GET
OLD.
IT WILL DIE.
I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH
LIFE-STYLE LIFTS YOU HAVE OR
WHATEVER ELSE GOES ON OR HOW
MUCH HEALTH FOOD YOU EAT,
YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
YOU MIGHT LIVE A LITTLE
LONGER, YOU MIGHT LIVE TO
100, YOU MIGHT LIVE TO 110,
BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO
DIE.
AND AFTER THAT, THE
JUDGMENT.
AND HERE IS THE DEAL: JESUS
SAID, HE THAT BELIEVES ON
HIM WHO SENT ME HAS
EVERLASTING LIFE, AND SHALL
NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT, BUT
IS PASSED FROM DEATH INTO
LIFE.
WHEN WE COME TO JESUS, WE
ARE PASSED FROM DEATH INTO
LIFE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO
HELL.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SOME
PURGATORY.
WE DON'T HAVE TO GO TO SOME
CLEANSING STATION.
WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE
PRICE OF OUR SINS BECAUSE
JESUS HAS PAID THEM.
AND WHAT HE SAYS, YOU'VE
PASSED FROM DEATH INTO
LIFE.
NOW, WHICH DO YOU WANT?
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HELL?
LET ME TELL YOU, I SAID IT
EARLIER YESTERDAY, AND I'LL
SAY IT AGAIN TODAY, THERE IS
NO END.
THE LAKE OF FIRE GOES ON
FOREVER.
THERE IS NO DEATH IN HELL.
ONCE YOU'RE THERE, YOU
CANNOT DIE AND GET OUT OF
IT.
IT GOES ON TORMENTING
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER
AND EVER.
IT NEVER ENDS.
BUT PARADISE NEVER ENDS,
EITHER.
YOUR TIME WITH THE LORD, AND
THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN ARE
LOOKING AT YOU AND SAYING,
WILL YOU SAY YES TO JESUS?
I HOLD BEFORE YOU BLESSING
AND CURSING, LIFE AND
DEATH.
CHOOSE LIFE.
LAHIME, CHOOSE LIFE.
BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY WITH
ME.
JESUS, I DON'T WANT HELL,
LORD.
JESUS, I DON'T WANT HELL.
JESUS, I WANT TO BE IN
HEAVEN.
I'M NOT WORTHY OF HEAVEN.
I'VE SINNED, LORD, MANY
TIMES.
MY LIFE ISN'T WORTH HEAVEN.
BUT, LORD, YOU PAID THE
PRICE.
MY ONLY PLEA IS YOUR DEATH
AND YOUR RESURRECTION.
I CLAIM IT, THAT YOU ARE MY
SACRIFICE FOR MY SIN.
AND AT THIS MOMENT, I ASK
YOU COME INTO MY HEART, LIVE
YOUR LIFE IN ME, AND I WILL
LIVE FOR YOU AND I WILL
SERVE YOU ALL OF THE DAYS OF
MY LIFE.
FATHER, FOR THOSE WHO PRAYED
WITH ME JUST THEN, LET THE
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
COME INTO THEM NOW, AND FILL
THEM FROM THIS MOMENT ON AND
KEEP THEM IN JESUS' NAME,
AMEN.
IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
PRAYER YOU'VE EVER PRAYED.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE BOOKLET
HERE CALLED "A NEW DAY."
AND I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO
YOU FREE.
IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU
HAVE JUST DONE, WHAT GOD HAS
IN STORE FOR YOU, WHAT SOME
OF THE BLESSINGS ARE, WHAT
HE WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO, AND
WHAT YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE
LIVED AS.
IT WILL JUST BE A STARTER.
I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU FREE.
IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST
CALL IN.
IT IS A TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AT
ALL.
PLEASE CALL AND SAY, I
PRAYED WITH PAT AND I GAVE
MY HEART TO THE LORD.
1-800-759-0700.
SAY I WANT "A NEW DAY."
I JUST PRAYED WITH PAT.
THE ANGELS OF HEAVEN ARE
REJOICING.
AND WHEN YOU PASS ON -- IF
YOU PRAYED AND YOU ACCEPTED
JESUS AND HE IS IN YOUR
HEART AND YOU BELONG TO HIM,
THE ANGELS WILL CARRY YOU TO
ABRAHAM'S BOSOM, CARRYING
YOU TO HEAVEN, AND YOU'LL BE
THERE WITH THE ANGELS
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER,
WORLD WITHOUT END, AMEN.
TERRY?
Terry: WELL, STILL
AHEAD, WE'LL BE ANSWERING
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT
LIFE AFTER DEATH.
HERE IS ONE FROM ALLISON WHO
WANTS TO KNOW WHAT AGE WILL
WE BE IN HEAVEN?
WE'LL BE BACK WITH THA THAT
ANSWER AND MORE AFTER THIS.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
ISLAM IS MAKING IN ROADS IN
HAITI, A COUNTRY THAT HAS
BEEN DOMINATED BY CATHOLICS,
PROTESTS, AND EVEN VOO-DOO.
THERE ARE NOW AT LEAST FIVE
MOSQUES IN HAITI.
MANY CONVERTED AFTER THE
DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE TWO
YEARS AGO.
AND THERE IS A MUSLIM MEMBER
OF PARLIAMENT AND A NIGHTLY
TV PROGRAM DEVOTED TO
ISLAM.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT
RECOGNIZE ISLAM AS AN
OFFICIAL RELIGION, NOR DOES
IT HONOR MUSLIM MARRIAGES.
SEVEN PEOPLE ARE DEAD
FOLLOWING A CHURCH BOMBING
IN NORTHERN NIGERIA.
POLICE SAY A SUICIDE BOMBER
RAN AN S.U.V. FILLED WITH
EXPLOSIVES INTO A CATHOLIC
CHURCH DURING MASS SUNDAY.
AT LEAST 100 OTHERS WERE
INJURED.
SUNDAY'S BOMBING IS THE
LATEST IN THE SERIES OF A
ATTACKS ON NIGERIAN
CHURCHES.
NO GROUP HAS CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
ATTACK, BUT BOKO HARAM HAS
ATTACKED SEVERAL NIGERIAN
CHURCHES THIS YEAR, KILLING
HUNDREDS.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
STAY TUNED, PAT AND TERRY
WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"THE 700 CLUB" AFTER THIS.
I STARTED TO FLOAT
TOWARDS THE CLOUDS.
THESE CLOUDS OPENED UP, AND
THROUGH THE CLOUDS I SAW
THIS HUGE CITY.
IT WAS SO STRANGE.
BUT THE CITY WAS BEAUTIFUL,
MAN.
I SAW THESE COLORS I'VE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN MY
LIFE.
THESE STRANGE, JUST GLOWING
COLORS.
RADIANT COLORS GLOWING OUT
OF THIS HUGE CITY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS VOICE
SAID, IT'S NOT YET YOUR
TIMEMENT G TIME.
GO BACK.
Terry: WELCOME BACK TO
THIS SPECIAL WEEK OF
PROGRAMMING ON LIFE BEYOND
THE GRAVE.
WE'LL BE ANSWERING SOME OF
YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT HEAVEN
AND HELL IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES.
BUT RIGHT NOW I WANT TO
INTRODUCE YOU TO A MAN NAMED
DON.
ALL HIS LIFE HE LIVED IN
FEAR, EVERY TIME HE TOOK A
SIP OF WATER, AND HERE IS
WHY.
Reporter: FOR MORE THAN
60 YEARS, DON JULIO HAS
NEVER HAD A CLEAN SOURCE OF
WATER TO DRINK.
IN FACT, EVERY TIME HE OR
HIS FAMILY PUT A GLASS OF
WATER TO THEIR LIPS, THEY
WERE AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT
HAPPEN.
THERE WAS A FAMILY THAT
HAS A LITTLE 7-YEAR-OLD BOY,
SUDDENLY HE HAD THE PAIN IN
HIS STOMACH AND BEGAN TO
VOMIT.
AND WITHIN 24 HOURS, THE
CHILD WAS DEAD.
THE PEOPLE SAID IT WAS
BECAUSE OF THE WATER.
Reporter: EVENTUALLY
DON AND HIS FAMILY MOVED
FROM THAT COMMUNITY, BUT THE
WATER IN THEIR NEW LOCATION
WASN'T ANY BETTER.
WE WERE CONSUMING WATER
FROM THE RIVER BECAUSE WE
HAD NO CHOICE.
I KNEW THE WATER WAS
CONTAMINATED BY THE COLOR.
IT WAS TINTED, BUT WE STILL
DRANK IT.
Reporter: THE LOCAL
FACTORY FINALLY AGREED TO
SHARE SOME OF THEIR WATER
WITH THE COMMUNITY, BUT ONLY
LATE AT NIGHT, VERY LATE.
THEY TOLD US WE HAD TO
COME AND GET THE WATER AT
3:00 IN THE MORNING.
GETTING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT WAS VERY HARD ON
EVERYONE.
AT 6:00 A.M., THEY SHUT OFF
THE WATER.
Reporter: OTHER NIGHTS,
THEY REFUSED TO GIVE THE
RESIDENTS ANY WATER AT ALL.
"OPERATION BLESSING" DUG THE
FIRST WELLS THAT THIS
COMMUNITY HAS EVER HAD.
THE "OPERATION BLESSING"
WELL WATER WAS COOL AND
CLEAR.
AND WHEN YOU DRANK IT, YOU
COULD FEEL IT REFRESH YOU ON
THE INSIDE.
I KNEW FROM THAT TIME THAT
MY FAMILY WOULD NOT GET SICK
AGAIN FROM BAD WATER.
THANKS, "OPERATION
BLESSING," FOR THIS
WONDERFUL GIFT OF WATER.
Terry: YOU KNOW, IT'S
SO AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE
WHO DON'T HAVE THE AMENITIES
THAT YOU AND I HAVE ARE NOT
COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT THEY
DON'T HAVE.
THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO FILL
THEIR HOMES WITH LOVELY
THINGS OR LIVE IN GRAND
PALACES.
THEY JUST WANT THINGS THAT
ARE SIMPLE, LIKE CLEAN
DRINKING WATER.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU AND I
DON'T NORMALLY HAVE TO SPEND
A MOMENT THINKING ABOUT.
WE TURN ON THE TAP, THE
WATER IS CLEAN, WE KNOW
WE'RE SAFE.
BUT IN MANY PARTS OF THE
WORLD IT SIMPLY IS NOT
AVAILABLE.
IN SOME PLACES, PEOPLE SPEND
THE ENTIRE DAY SIMPLY
FINDING WATER, NOT EVEN GOOD
WATER, AND TOTING IT BACK
HOME.
YOU HELP US TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES.
IN THIS INSTANCE, WE WERE
DRILLING A WELL.
AND WE HAVE MADE EDUCATION
POSSIBLE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE,
AND WE HAVE MEDICAL HELP IN
PLACES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE
NEVER SEEN DOCTORS BEFORE.
YOU ARE CHANGING PEOPLE'S
LIVES, AND AT THE SAME TIME
BRINGING THE LOVE OF GOD TO
THEM AS WELL.
JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ALL
ABOUT.
WE INVITE YOU TO BECOME A
PART OF THAT WITH THE REST
OF US, WHO DECIDED TO CHANGE
THE WORLD AS MUCH AS WE'RE
ABLE.
OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE,
1-888-777-1999.
TO JOIN "700 CLUB," 65 CENTS
A DAY, $20 A MONTH, AND THAT
MAKES YOU A "THE 700 CLUB"
MEMBER.
AND WHEN YOU DO, WE WILL
SEND YOU PAT'S LATEST
TEACHING, CALLED "GOD'S PLAN
FOR AMERICA."
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT.
AND YOU'LL HAVE THE
SATISFACTION OF KNOWING
YOU'LL BE CHANGING THOUSANDS
OF LIVES.
Pat: WE'VE DRILLED
ABOUT 11,000 WELLS, I
BELIEVE.
HELPING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
Terry: UNBELIEVABLE.
AND PEOPLE ARE SO GRATEFUL.
IT COMPLETELY CHANGES THEIR
LIVES.
Pat: IT REALLY DOES,
TERRY.
Terry: IT'S AWESOME.
Pat: WE DON'T
REALIZE -- LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, I QUOTE FROM
WARREN BUFFETT WHO TALKED
ABOUT WINNING THE OVARIAN
LOTTERY.
BEING BORN IN THIS LAND OF
FREEDOM, YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT A BLESSING IT IS.
EVERYBODY IN THIS AUDIENCE,
AT LEAST IN THE UNITED
STATES OR CANADA, YOU GO TO
YOUR BATHROOM, TURN ON THE
SPIGOT FAUCET, AND OUT COMES
CLEAN WATER.
YOU TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
YOU GO TO YOUR KITCHEN
AND --
Terry: JUST HAVING IT
IN THE HOUSE IS MORE THAN
MOST PEOPLE IN OTHER
COUNTRIES HAD.
Pat: IN THE OLD DAYS
YOU HAD TO GO OUTSIDE AND
HAVE A CRANK PUMP.
AND NOW WE'VE GOT ALL OF
THIS STUFF COMING TO US, AND
WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS
DONE FOR US.
UP NEXT, YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE BEYOND
THE GRAVE.
SANDRA WANTS TO KNOW WHAT
ARE THE HEAVENLY CROWNS THAT
BELIEVERS CAN RECEIVE IN
HEAVEN.
WE'LL BRING THAT ON AN MORE
WITH SANDRA'S QUESTIONS
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: PEOPLE HAVE A
LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS TO US AFTER WE DIE.
IS THERE A REAL HEAVEN?
IS THERE A REAL HELL?
WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER SOME
OF THE E-MAIL QUESTIONS
NOW.
ALLISON SAYS, WHAT AGE WILL
WE BE IN HEAVEN?
Pat: THE BIBLE ISN'T
TOO EXPRESSIVE ABOUT THAT.
IT SAYS WE'LL BE LIKE THE
ANGELS, WHO ARE AGELESS.
IF WE HAVE A BODY, I PRESUME
IT WILL BE LIKE JESUS' BODY
AT THE RESURRECTION.
HE WAS 33 YEARS OLD.
I BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD
MEAN OLD PEOPLE WOULD GET
YOUNGER, AND YOUNG PEOPLE
WILL GROW TO MATURITY.
Terry: FOR MOST PEOPLE,
THAT IS A REALLY ROBUST AGE
OF LIFE.
Pat: I'D BE HAPPY TO BE
AT THE AGE I AM RIGHT NOW.
Terry: I'M GOING FOR
35, ACTUALLY.
Pat: IF HE WANTS TO
MAKE ME 85, LIKE CALEB, WHO
SAID I'M AS STRONG NOW FOR
WAR AS I WAS WHEN I WAS 45.
WE'LL GO FOR IT.
THE BIBLE ISN'T TOO CLEAR
ABOUT IT.
Terry: SANDRA SAYS,
"WHAT ARE THE HEAVENLY
CROWNS THAT BELIEVERS CAN
RECEIVE IN HEAVEN?"
Pat: IT TALKS ABOUT
THRONES.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE SAINTS
WILL JUDGE THE ANGELS.
A CROWN IS A SYMBOL OF
AUTHORITY.
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
AUTHORITY OVER ANGELS.
WE'LL HAVE AUTHORITY OVER
ELEMENTAL FORCES.
WHO KNOWS.
GOD MIGHT GIVE EACH ONE OF
US OUR OWN LITTLE PLANET.
I'M NOT SURE I WANT A
PLANET.
BUT IT IS A SYMBOL OF
AUTHORITY.
THAT'S WHAT A CROWN IS.
IT IS A SYMBOL OF
AUTHORITY.
WE WILL REIGN AND RULE WITH
JESUS CHRIST.
Terry: MARK SAYS, "I
RECENTLY HEARD A PASTOR
TALKING ABOUT HELL.
HE SAID HELL AND THE
SUFFERING THERE WOULD NOT
LAST FOREVER.
HE DID QUOTE QUITE A FEW
BIBLE VERSES THAT SAYS THOSE
IN HELL WILL NO LONGER
EXIST.
I'M CONFUSED.
I THOUGHT HELL WAS FOREVER.
IS IT?"
Pat: THE HELL I'M
FAMILIAR WITH GOES ON
FOREVER AND EVER.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT
PASTOR IS GETTING -- YOU CAN
FIND BIBLE VERSES TO UP HOLD
ALMOST ANYTHING YOU WANT TO,
BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL,
EVERLASTING LIFE IS
EVERLASTING, AND EVERLASTING
TORMENT IS EVERLASTING, AND
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE
FOR THIS PROGRAM.
THANKS FOR THOSE QUESTIONS.
TOMORROW, A GANG MEMBER
EMBRACES THE DEVIL AS HIS
DADDY AND GETS A FRONT ROW
SEAT IN HELL.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
WORDS FROM MATTHEW: "WHOEVER
HUMBLES HIMSELF AS THIS
LITTLE CHILD IS THE GREATEST
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
