What do you think about how a lot of "Televison Preachers", try to sell products on their shows?

Ok, I will start off by saying that if having faith in God is helping someone on a psychological level, I am all for it. My grandma is a devout Christian, and lives and breaths the word of God. She recently bought cable tv just so she could watch “Christian Television”....and seems to be enjoying it immensely and getting a lot out of it.

HOWEVER….the last few times I have visited her I have noticed some items that she has bought off the television. Ridiculous items, like a “vale of holy water” and a “prayer shawl” to name a few. I can’t help but feeling like she is being brain washed and taken advantage of. She can’t afford to buy things like this. And on these shows, the preacher is like “for a small donation of $29.99 you can enrich your Christian faith, with this prayer shawl”....It kind of makes me sick.

What do you think about this? It makes me slightly angry…..But I guess at the end of the day, she could be wasting her money on gambling or other useless products. I just don’t like it how “Christian Television” is making my Grandma feel like she “needs” to give them money to strengthen her faith…..
