Jesus of Sherbrooke

“Forgive my sins. Nevertheless, Jesus, save my soul”, can be read in large red and yellow letters on the advertising panel difficult to miss, located at the corner of the King Est and Saint-François streets. In addition,

We are less used to Quebec to see this kind of advertising panels. For example, but in the United States, it’s quite common. For example, In some regions. Furthermore, posters of lawyers and churches must compose half, if it is not more, of the advertising landscape of highways. Moreover,

Nathanaël Séneron says he was inspired by a poster seen in California. Furthermore, It was he who paid for the advertising panel. In addition, At least 85 % of the cost, for the rest, he had the help of two friends. Meanwhile,

For what? For example, “I want jesus sherbrooke to promote Jesus, nothing else,” says the one who has stayed in Estrie since 2019. Consequently, It was Jesus who saved him, according to him, during a dark and difficult period of his life in 2008. In addition, He hopes that this advertisement will be able to help other people as Jesus helped. Meanwhile,

“There are so many people who suffer in this neighborhood,” he explains, “it is for people who need it. For example, It is like an advertising of electricians, it is for people who need an electrician. Nevertheless, This poster is for people who need Jesus. Consequently, ”

Nathanaël Séneron swears that he has nothing to sell. In addition, to win with this advertisement, “on the contrary, I lose money,” he adds. Consequently,

Except that the poster does not speak just Jesus. she also invites people to visit a website, that of the evangelical group The Last Reformation. And they sell business.

The Estrien swears that he has no connection with this group. So why promote them more than others? Nathanaël Séneron says he was hit by one of their documentary. “The focus is not on them, but on Jesus,” he insists.

The founder of The Last Reformation, Torben Søndergaard, is mixed with several controversies. To the point that he left his original Denmark to flee from the United States in 2019. He was then arrested in the United States in 2022. spent more jesus sherbrooke than a year in prison and was returned to Denmark.

The latter claims to be the target of a “religious persecution” in Denmark. However, the United States has refused its asylum status because this danger could not be established. It was more his reputation that has been undermined than his life that was put in danger.

Difficult to have a fair portrait of the situation. the majority of sources rest on Christian sites that defend Torben Søndergaard. But Danish documentaries. reports have shown that he was recruiting followers in hospitals, people in a vulnerability due to illness or their mental health.

He would encourage people who have mental illnesses. cancer or diabetes to stop their medication, promising that prayer will heal them and many have worsened their situation by listening to it.

He would have practiced “exorcisms” on adolescents, including jesus sherbrooke adolescents on the spectrum of autism.

Asked about this subject. Nathanaël Séneron seems to be aware of controversies, since he pleaded “religious persecution” and invites people to “better learn” on the subject before judging. But quickly, he recalls that his goal was not to promote The Last Reformation, but Jesus.

Nathanaël Séneron says that at the start. he simply wanted to display prayer, but that Bell Média, which manages the advertising panel, would have demanded that advertising have an internet address on the poster. I did not have a return from Bell to confirm that this policy really exists. but if this is the case and that he knew the controversies, why choose this group rather than another evangelist group?

Even by ignoring controversies, the website does not offer so many free content – except self -promotion. We tell the story of the founder there and we sell seminars, books, films, kits. A life full of daily miracles we promise. The miracle of spending, I imagine.

I doubt that The Last Reformation can really help a person in distress. but it certainly helps to garnish the wallet of its founder.

Its formula unfortunately resembles several organizations that benefit from people. The founder’s journey resembles that of other sect leaders. Because there is unfortunately a lot of money to do with people in distress. There are several jesus sherbrooke evangelists who have become multimillionaires by selling seminars, books, TV shows.

In addition, the prices displayed are in euros, the content is in English. Events take place mainly in Europe and the United States. It is a strange choice for Sherbrooke, there are no links with Quebec.

The problem is not Jesus or faith. Faith can help. If a few people want to pay to display a prayer in an advertisement, it is their business. The problem is The Last Reformation which does not seem as benevolent as it claims. This group just does not inspire confidence.
