Jordan River Baptism Experience "Yardenit" in Israel

www.facebook.com/MorgansVeryunOfficialTravelGuides
This has got to be one of the biggest scams using people's faith in God to earn cash! Visitors here can be baptized in the "Jordan" River, just like Jesus. NOT! There is absolutely no way possible that this is the same place Jesus was baptized because this stretch of the river is an artificial ditch dug back when the British were controlling Palestine. Now, it is a huge tourist trap with modern showers and changing area, and a gigantic gift shop selling t-shirts, dvds, cruzifixes, mangers, and all kinds of religious souvineers. It was an unbelievable sight!

I want to rent my own priest!!! Wait, isn't all that merchandising why Martin Luther left the Catholic Church?

@MandyLuvs2Camp Well, because it is not affiliated with a church, you need to get a priest from somewhere, and I guess no one likes to work for free so... And, I'm sure that it is a powerful experience to go all the way to Israel to get baptized. HOWEVER, this place was crazy. "You may use our facilities as long as you buy our official costume and pay to use our changing rooms and showers, oh, and the only exit is thru the gift shop."

Hey Morgan - thanks for baptizing all of us, LOL.

Wow, that is seriously over the top. Will be skipping that for sure!

Sounds like a theme park ride, you've got to exit our the shop. ;)

well done Morgan! You have a 6th sense in finding all kinds of theme parks in the world!
