I don't know why you would say that. Hubert preached in all 50 states
and in 59 other countries. He was arrested 100 times, including being
put in jail in Hong Kong, China, and outer Mongolia! You should be able
to find lots of newspaper articles if you looked hard enough. I know
that he spent 11 days in jail in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He preached at
the University of California in Berkley around 1967-1969. Elsman
mentioned that he was given some kind of award from Ronald Reagan. I
don't understand why you are being so negative and critical. There are
probably lots of places to look for information. Jerry Rubin of the
Chicago 7 fame knew Hubert, and I think I remember a few years ago
reading something from Jerry Rubin about Hubert. I think it might have
been his paper at UC Berkley that gave Hubert the nickname, "Holy
Hubert." How many newspapers have you searched? Which ones did you
try?
Outer Mongolia ??? You think you remember something ...??? The very trustworthy Elsman said .......??? In a previous post, you surmised that there was little to nothing written about the man because there weren't any computers at the time. Give me a break. I am saying that I shouldn't have to beat the bushes to find out something about a man who ministered to Billy Graham, was certificated by the Pope, converted 40,000 Jews, saved additional thousands of hippies, was shot with a .38 and healed on the way to the hospital, and the like. Your response -- increase the mythology!!!!!!!!!
Lets do this. I will take back the fraud part of my criticism of HH..........and transpose it to his mythology. Since he is dead, I don't need to pull a Bush and say I'm sorry.
Lets just drop it for now. Someday you will realize that there is a bit of bulldog in me. I am making it a hobby to dig up all the truth about Happy Herbert. Some of his pictures actually look like Elsman. Maybe ? ............................................ nah.
Anyway -- lets get back to bible study and warm and passionate discussion.

You are so specific about the 59 countries. Must be a source on that, huh? Outer Mongolia ????
