Jim Humble
Jim Humble (aka Bishop James V. Humble) is a US-American engineer, author of (pre-transistor times) computer and mining technology manuals as well as inventor of dietary supplements containing disinfectants that are by now banned in several countries. For several years the medical layperson is trying to sell dietary supplements. Since then the self-proclaimed "bishop" calls himself also "James V. Humble". Humble is some kind of founder of his own religion and also founded a church called "Genesis II Church of Health and Healing".
His whereabouts are currently not known for sure, most probably he's living in Mexico.
Humble claims that his invention, called Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS or MMS1), would be the most effective illness killer around, being the ideal treatment for AIDS, hepatitis A, B and C, malaria, herpes, tuberculosis, most kinds of cancer and many, many more.
By now he also offers MMS2, a product containing Calcium hydrochlorite. German mail order companies offer it as a "chemical for swimming pool disinfection". According to MMS2 advertisement it should be administered internally in order to kill germs, viruses and parasites. MMS2 is, same like MMS, no approved drug
Judging from current announcements and talks it looks like Humble wants to have MMS tested in Haiti. Most recent announcement make one expecting the worst for non-informed patients: Currently he claims to "research" the administration of MMS with cancer-, hepatitis-C- and AIDS patients. Quotation Humble:
- We’ve started doing clinical trials for AIDS, Hepatitis C and Cancer and those trials have been going pretty good and we have a guy who’s head of the prison system there – he’s also helping us. And the local hospital has agreed to give us 300 blood tests for free.
Interviewer: Are you allowed to say here on camera that MMS will cure cancer? Sure! I can say it – MMS will cure cancer.[1]
Anecdotes
Jim Humble makes others spread the word that he has cured 100.000 malaria victims using his self-invented MMS-mixture. He also claims to have "advised" more than 2000 people via phone and more than 4000 people via internet.
Humble himself spreads the rumor that he has worked on a mysterious "magnetohydrodynamic drive", next to a more banal garage door openers.
Genesis II Church of Health and Healing
Since 2010 Jime Humble has himself being addressed as "Bishop James V. Humble". Rev. Dr. Humble was "appointed" by an alleged archbishop Laurence (Larry) Jensen and his wife, the alleged bishop Glenda Green of a "One Holy True Original Church" from Arizona [2], which is also active as "Spiritis church", "Order of the Friends of Jeshua", "the Byzantine Catholic Church, Inc.", "the Liberal Catholic Church", "the Old Roman Catholic Church", "the American Orthodox Catholic Church" and so on.[3]. The Original Churchs offers different pseudo-titles for the amount of 750 Dollar.[4] They claim a 2000 year old lineage of bishops. In anecdotes, a kind of schism from the Roman Catholic Church is also claimed. Indeed one of the predecessors of the bishop, a Bishop James Ingall Wedgwood, left the catholic church. There had been clues for pedophile-inspired advances to boys that were that pressing that police had started investigating them. This was also the case with the direct Humble-predecessor and theosophist C. W. Leadbeater who left the "Theosophical Society" after a pedophilia scandal became public. The list of the bishop predecessors:[1]
The main activity of this new-religious MMS-sect, which was founded in 2010, is less religious but more "health and healing" as well as protection from vaccination. Humble:
- ..we are forming a church of health and healing. Now that's not religion, that's health and healing. It's called Genesis II Church of Health and Healing. (“Genesis” means the beginning, and “II” means the second beginning and this is the beginning of a new world without disease.)..
To become member of the church, one has to pay 10 Dollar admission fee (shipment excluded) and has to assert that she will not be vaccinated:
- If you wish to have a church membership identification card with your picture that states that you must not be vaccinated, the cost is $10 to join.[5]
The money is transferred, via Paypal, to the Dominican Republic and Humble promises to put it on a church-owned account that only he and his successor know:
- This is my personal PayPal account that is dedicated to the church. I will take the money out of this account periodically and deposit it in an account that no one knows that is known only to me and my successor and it will soon be recorded as church property and known to the church.
On his self-appointment:
- I was ordained in the lineage of Bishops traced all the way back to Christ. Actually, the apostles were Bishops, and they were given the power to create Churches and other Bishops by Christ. All Bishops have had the power to create new Churches if they wished and to write the Articles of Association and Articles of Faith, and Creed of the Church. My name has been placed in the lineage.
On the name of his "church" Humble says:
- ..Now, let me tell you the name of the Church. The name will be the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing. Genesis means the beginning. Two means the second beginning. And we are talking of the second beginning of the World and we are creating a world this second time without disease..
The Genesis II "church" states that it has connections to good lawyers. Becoming a member would result in quite some advantages: for example, one could have the "church" appoint one as priest. With this one could bear the title "Reverend" in front of one's name and even hope for tax exemption and monetary income. As a "pastor" one should hand out MMS-bottles for free but at the same time ask for donations. The income stemming from donations would be higher than those coming from regular sales: ..We already have tremendous lawyers who will help us....If you wish, you will receive a pastor’s certificate and you will have the legal right to use Reverend in front of your name. It will be legal for you to not pay income tax. You can also receive a certificate to start a chapter of our church right there in your area. You can hand out tracts telling about MMS and our healing and you will no doubt have people come to you for healing. It will be best not to charge for your service, instead ask for donations after they get well, and that usually takes only a few days. Most people will want to donate something when they get well. You will make more money that way than selling the bottles of MMS. If you keep at it you should soon have enough to start building a Church. Our course teaches you how to handle all diseases and health problems except those needing surgery which is a small number...We expect a reasonable donation but not great big either, but of course, great big is OK.
Trade with useless fantasy titles
By now Humble offers MMS-courses and fantasy titles in the Dominican Republic. Within a week and by paying 750 Dollar one can become a "Minister of Health" and put a "MH" behind one's name. A church member can also put a "rev" in front of the name. For additional 250 Dollars one can also learn to treat sick persons with MMS. These courses are held in the earthquake-struck and heavily damaged Haiti, which neighbours the Dominican Republic, and are part of a Genesis II Mission to Haiti. After a minimum of 3 days servicing the people on-site and after paying 1500 Dollar the course-graduates receive a pseudo doctor's degree with a useless "MMS certificate", promising that this allows to legally bear a "Rev. Dr.", which is wrong.
Special members even had the chance to become "bishop" of the "G2-church" themselves.
