After reading the info on Rex Humbard I noticed not ONE SINGLE WORD that would indicate he was anything but a wonderful minister  Many people including me would loudly disagree  In the s I personally interviewed a former worker in his computer center in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio and heard about the highly questionable fundraising methods employed  That former worker told me that Humbard used scare tactics to get viewers especially elderly viewers to send in money  The main ploy was to send out many mass mailings and claim that his program would go off the air unless the viewers sent in a lot of money  The former computer center employee told me that Humbard told viewers in these mass mailings that the government was trying to shut him down  Also the former employee told me that the Canadian government was so concerned about the mailings and calls to elderly viewers in Canada that Humbard was banned from mailing any promotion materials to Canada Humbards computer system was stateoftheart as was his TV studio equipment  An IBM engineer told me that Humbard had the newest and one of the best IBM mainframe computer systems in Ohio  A former engineer at WJW TV  in Cleveland told me that Humbard had at least for a few years the most expensive and sophisticated television production equipment in the Cleveland area  Again according to that WJW engineer Humbards setup was as good or better than any of the TV stations in Cleveland    My father told me how he would drive from Canton to attend services at the Cathedral of Tomorrow  He said that an offering would be taken and Humbard would ask people who came the farthest to donate the most  He told me that there was a massive cross that hung from the ceiling and that it changed color  Also he said that the ceiling looked like the ceiling in a planetarium  The revolving restaurant idea stirred a lot of controversy  The concrete tower to support the restaurant was over  feet tall and the FAA was against the construction due to airline flight paths into Hopkins International airport  Cuyahoga Falls is fairly close to the airport  SEE httpexploreraltopixcommapkdaocfRexsErectionhtm   for a picture of the tower  Humbards problems with the IRS included running the Cathedral Buffet restaurant as a NotForProfit even though it obviously wasnt  Ditto the trouble Humbard got into with the womens underwear factory he bought in Indiana Humbard sold the Cathedral of Tomorrow to Ernest Angley Ministries and that operation has also had a lot of controversy  I hope others with information about these televangelists will post their comments
