At least three people in London with HIV have died after they stopped taking life saving drugs on the advice of their Evangelical Christian pastors...the church the women attended encourage them to stop taking the antiretroviral drugs in the belief that God would heal them.In one example, the church’s website claims: “Mrs Badmus proudly displays her two different medical records confirming she is 100% free from HIV-Aids following the prayer of Pastor T B Joshua.”The church’s UK website promotes a monthly “prayer line” for which it says: “If you are having a medical condition, it is important you bring a medical report for record and testimony purposes.”It has posted videos on the internet showing its services in south London, in which participants who claim to have arthritis, asthma and schizophrenia say they have been healed after being sprayed with “anointing water” provided by the church.
“HIV-Aids healing” is listed on the church’s website among “miracles” it says it can perform.“Cancer healing” and “baby miracles” are also advertised.
