I wouldn't trust any minister who hasn't mad alot of people angry personally. If they all love you you're pulling punches and ignoring the true word. Jesus said he came to divide, you think everyone loved him?

My favorite part is people complaining because she dare take a vacation. Meanwhile most television ministers are collecting mansions and luxury jets...

And I love the humor of the internet. It amazes me that people took the time to write nice posts, most topics online are pure hatred. If you look hard enough you will find people talking about their hatred of Doritos for crying out loud. Does anyone honestly think that nice Christian folk spend their time online putting their hatred into words?

Yikes!!!!! Doesn't Matthew 6:37, 38, 41 and 42 say "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven. Awful lot of judging and condemning on these posts... You don't know her heart. Only Jesus can be the judge of that. I once heard that the things we despise about other people is the same thing we despise about ourselves...

It sounds like some bitter people have nothing good to say about BD Hyman or her ministry. Personally, I have gained more practical knowledge of the Truth through her teachings than in 40 years of organized religion. For those of you who feel compelled to use a book that was written over 20 years ago as a weapon to attack her, you might want to refrain from blasting something that you really don't know anything about. (You probably would've blasted Paul for killing Christians had you been alive at his time).

Just watched documentary on Bette Davis (whose acting I have always loved) and learned a little about her as a person. That's where I learned of BD Hyman ministries. Since I'm a Christian, I was interested. However, these comments about the ministry make me wonder. I've heard that one will become what one hates. It sounds to me like BD may have become the woman she hated. "forgive us our trespasses AS WE FORGIVE those who trespass against us." I truly hope that BD is not adding to nor detracting from the precious Word of God.

Don't let the anger induced negativity from B.D. Hyman's book be a majority factor in your opinion of Bette Davis. B.D. claims that her mother lived in a fantasy world of her own design, well thats exactly what she herself has done with her own take on Christianity and fear tactics of the end time. Mrs. Hyman claims to talk to God on a regular basis and says she knows so much that if she were to tell a person whom isnt as educated in the Word like her they would think she is crazy...she certainly isn't off to a good start there. She also pronounces God has called her to teach God's starving lambs, I seem to remember Jesus saying in Matthew 23:8-10 "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren...And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ." Sure thats God your talking to there B.D.? Did He tell you when the money was gonna fall out of the sky?

If you are looking for false doctrine, youve definitely found the right place with BD Hymans ministry. I dont know what is worse, the fact that what is actually Gods Truth could have been very well preached as a result of THEFT, or that what she claims to be new revelation is completely unscriptural. While you are reading her book, The Rapture, Tribulation and Beyond be sure to have a copy of The End Times Events by Charles Capps beside you. Im sure you will find some very uncanny similarities, especially for two books written almost a decade apart. The sad thing is, the so-called stop the presses revelation which is the only difference between the books, is completely unscriptural. Forty days of glorification, caused BD, and her money-obsessed husband to stop the production of the book. Forty Days, which is completely unscriptural. She parallels our lives to that of Jesus, however, she fails to do so correctly. She claims that before God comes back to retrieve the Body of Christ, which is the True Church, there is a forty day waiting period, where the Body is glorified and is sent to warn the rest of the world that the end is near and to brace themselves for tribulation. During that period, time will actually stop, and the Body would be able to perform miraculous feats to prove that the tribulation was indeed coming. However, when Jesus died on the cross (of course to rise three days later, amen!), He did no such thing. Of course He told those who crossed His path of the Holy Day of Pentecost, but did He perform miracles after His Resurrection? No! Did He go through walls or warn people the end was near? No! Did time stand still? No! I am still looking for bible verses that would ring some truth to this so called revelation. When you do, please feel free to let me know. Sadly if false doctrine (oh there is more, just not enough time in the world to discuss it) was not enough to keep you out of this poor excuse of a ministry, BD and her family would be enough to send you running to the hills, this time not to escape from the devastation of the tribulation, but from BD herself. I guess you could say that the reason why they are heartless, money-obsessed, and extremely arrogant can be from the curse that satan has plagued them with for so many years. Funny how a preacher who claims satan has no authority can attribute so much to him. Maybe spreading false doctrine, teaching that only HER way can lead you to Christ or scaring her congregation has more to do with it. Starbucks, Sobe, even Liz Claiborne are symbols of satan which should be avoided at all cost..according to BD. Oh, and forget about having a difference of opinion, that is merely the devil trying to use you. I estimate, 80% of the congregation has been demonized at some point. Warning: dont even think twice about not becoming a member on the first visit. You will most likely hear that your life will be in complete turmoil now that you have heard the truth, but since you did not choose her church, you have cast your fate into the hands of satan. This is a cult, led by a conceited, self indulgent leader who will scare you into submission.

I heard that the membership is declining over there at Kings Corner...really sounds like a blessed ministry B.D., are people leaving because the money hasnt magically appeared yet? Did you scare them off with your horror story of how satan has been trying to destroy your family since before time? Or are they seeing through your phony deliverance seance where only you and your church are good enough to do anything for people? Or perhaps they're getting tired of your pompous attitude towards those just beginning their walk with Christ? I weep for those under your spell.

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT LINKS TO SEE WHAT B.D. IS REALLY LIKE.

THESE LINKS SPEAK VOLUMES.

In response to nosecret's comment: If it's true that B.D. Hyman prays codemnation upon anyone for any reason, that is most certainly WITCHCRAFT! To be a Christian praying for anything negative towards a brother or sister is extremely contradictive to the word and is straight out cursing someone. Jesus tells us "bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you" Luke 6:28, and in Luke 6:35 "But love your enemies, do good...". Jesus as well shows us by example after being crucified saying "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." Luke 23:34. James speaks directly of this in 4:11-12 "Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ANOTHER?" in 5:9 "Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest YOU be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!" and 1:20 "for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." If Jesus can forgive those who tortured Him while still being bound to the cross, how much easier is it for us to forgive someone speaking bad against us? In addition if onlytruth's comment is true and she only has a congregation of about 20 "righteous" members in a rented out office space having them believe money is gonna fall out of the sky and scaring them into believing there is a demonic curse against her family and ministry, we all should be praying that those poor souls wake up to the deceit and that B.D. wakes up from her dream world of withcraft and sorcery and reads the Bible.

        I have some respect for Mrs. Hyman for turning to the Lord and her earnest attempts at helping people understand the Truth, but like everyone else...she's human.  I'm disturbed about her ulterior motives behind MMK, the fact B.D. wrote the book to obviously rip to shreds her mothers name with anger and malicious intent, exposing her private life to the public and as well put some fame to her own name before her mother's death then taking the $100,000, fleeing to the Bahamas leaving their farm to foreclose after already committing her life to the Lord and then claiming she did it b/c she was trying to save her mother.  As someone who has listened to her teaching, this behavior is very contradictive as well as plain out wrong.  B.D. will be quick to quote you Matthew 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine" and follow with, "those who have ears to hear will hear" then tells you not to be concerned with those who dont listen and not worry or concern yourself with their cares and iniquities,   I agree.  I guess a lesson she learned after taking on the worry and care to reach her mother...Wow, she felt so compelled to try to get her mother to accept Jesus that after trying to communicate with her in every way possible she wrote a book about everything wrong with her, published it, made it public and made money off it.  What happened to Mark 11:26 "But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses." And Matthew 6:27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If B.D. was already saved and distanced herself from her mother why wasn't what Jesus said in Matthew 19:29 enough for her, "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or MOTHER or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and inherit eternal life."  I don't know about you but I would rather have what God promises than what the world could offer me on a book deal defacing my mother.  I'd like to think that she has washed her hands of her desires to gossip and speak ill of others but its not so. 

Questions to Mrs. Hyman...Where is your oldest son? Why have you and your family decided to let the state care for him? If you and your ministry are so blessed why can't you guys take care of him and why does he even need to be cared for if he was delivered from his "hopeless manic depression"? Why do you always speak so highly and praise the existence of your second son but never speak a word of your first born? Is he really that much of an embarrassment? Do you think Jesus would have stashed him away in a mental institute? What a great Christian example to set for those you wish to reach.

Some words of advice to B.D. and her "holier than thou" church. Mark 9:33-35 "Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house he asked them, 'What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?' But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, 'If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.'" As well Matthew 23:25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence."

I think its quite humourous that B.D. will viciously pray condemnation upon anyone who speaks against her or her ministry, yet that is the very method she used to get where she is...defacing her mother. As well I think its funny that her husband will sit there in church and complain about not selling enough tape/CD sets. Is it b/c he's worried about replacing the money they spend annually on a 3-4 week vacation out of the country to places like the Caymans where he was illegaly killing an endangered species of mollusks (conch) and bragging about it at church using the excuse, "I'm a hunter". Some hunter, illegaly killing a relative to a snail...Did u dress in camo and hide behind the bushes as to outsmart the critter? Or is it that he's still trying to replenish the ministry's checking account which he bled dry and didn't even tell his wife about? Oh, and word of advice to anyone who may talk to Mr. Hyman, don't speak negative words about Britain or Whales, he'll go off like a 13 year old hoodlum who just had someone criticize his mother.

For anyone deciding to visit B.D. Hyman's church...don't drink the kool-aid.

An answer to ur question sdwr, no. Mrs. Hyman has absolutely no education nor has she ever worked a job. She will more than gladly admit to it and tell u she has learned everything she needs to know from Jesus...Wonder if Jesus told her to only fill her church with the "righteous" then teach them to stay away from everyone else in the world b/c their demons might jump on you.

It's great that her family was saved. and I am sure that her mother was hard to deal with. MOst big name stars are. But her view is from is a point of view as a child. I don't let my 4 yr old have ice cream 3x a day and she says I starve her. So her mother was probably controlling but in her book it was sensationalized to the extreme. As for who supported who financially I don't know. I also wonder has Mrs. Hyman had any real world expierence or any formal schooling before Becoming a televangelist or did she just decide the world was hers to save. I think the book was better as a fictional novel. Some of the stuff in there would have been reported had it been true.

I can honestly say that I have never heard any preacher or evangelist speak bad about another, yet B.D. will be more than happy to tell you, whether you have asked or not, everything wrong or shady about every other person of God out there and what's false about their doctrine. That conversation once took up the first 40 minutes of Bible study. Though it is important to know about false doctrine, if the one whom abides to it doesnt take the time to read the Bible for themselves its their own fault. I'm pretty sure Jesus addressed this issue in Luke 9:49-50 "Now John answered and said, 'Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.' But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side." The last thing any Christian should do is speak ill or negatively critical towards any fellow Christian, Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged." Quite hypocritical for someone who runs such a strict ministry and stresses to you how important it is to be obedient. So obedient in fact if you don't receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit within your first few weeks she'll ask you to leave or if you decide you want to visit other churches as well as hers. Because she doesn't want anyone bringing demons from other preacher's false doctrine into her clean and sanctified rented out office space and has even gone to the lengths of tossing people out before service even started b/c she claimed they were demonized or possessed. Or if she thinks you need to be delivered from demons, which the only way that can happen is if she herself either prays with you or lays hands on you, and you happen to disagree you will be asked not to return. I think I know what Jesus would say to that Luke 5:32 "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. and as well Luke 6:32-33 "But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same." Now I am glad that she has healing and deliverance as part of her ministry but her off-kilter ideas that tongues must be prayed and she must at the least pray with you over the phone or in person is unsettling. I can honestly say I strongly disagree, especially after reading Mark 10:51-52 So Jesus answered and said to him, What do you want me to do for you? The blind man said to Him, Rabboni that I may receive my sight. Then Jesus said to him, Go your way; your FAITH has made you well. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. Luke 8:46-48 But Jesus said Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out of Me. Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. And He said to her, Daughter, be of good cheer; your FAITH has made you well. Go in peace. Luke 7:50 Then He said to the woman, Your FAITH has saved you. Go in peace. John 4:49-51 The nobleman said to Him, Sir, come down before my child dies! Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. So the man BELIEVED the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Your son lives! Matthew 8:7-10 And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word and my servant will be healed.When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great FAITH, not even in Israel! Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go your way; and as you have BELIEVED, so let it be done for you. So basically her view point is that it has to be done through her and you cant do it on your own through faithhmmm, sounds like Catholicism.
But maybe she believes she's above all that and she's special, her and her tight knit congregation of about 20. She has everyone their thinking if they tithe to her ministry that the world is going to turn over their riches to them and half the people there think money is going to magically appear in their mailbox one day or fall out of the sky as they scurry around the church sharing their dreams with one another on how theyre going to spend it. Oh and of course she has a little fear tactic, telling people of a satanic assignment on her and her family to end her ministry and stop her anointed second son from having a ministry of his own. As well, how important it is to stay a unified body and not let in infiltrators because theyre out there waiting to destro

This woman makes her living off of the name of Bette Davis. She capitalizes & exploits her mother, while at the same time condemning her. While her mom was recovering from a double mastectomy & strokes, she chose to punish her mother further by publishing a lurid tome on her childhood w/her. BD is as vile as they come. My mom, too, was controlling, but she's also a human being. I'd NEVER treat my mom nor my worst enemy, as BD treated hers. I hope she lives with the shame & guilt til her dying days. As a resident of Charlottesville, I'm embarrassed she resides here.

She is crazy.

I used to do business with BD's husband when he owned his truck company. It was then that I spoke with my only movie idol, Bette Davis, on the telephone. Sorry, but Miss Davis has my undying adoration for her talent and hard work. As for her daughter, B.D., what ever happened to the commmandment, "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother"?

The original poor little rich girl - no, not even original. This woman has spent a life of immense privilege - she still hunts (little)foxes, no? - and thinks she has the right to tell everyone how to live their lives - still echoes of control freak Mommy, no doubt.

I believe that B.D. Hyman has gotten most of her teaching from false teachers of the Word, rather than from the Spirit of God and His Word. However, I believe God will continue to guide her, as she continues to seek Him. I've been down the path she is on. He does not fail us. His complete Word is true.

no stars for this horrendous hideous soul. Of course she would turn to jesus...she is a user and abuser. Her's to deal with in her next million lifetimes as a mother of horrid children. Jesus thinks she needs a good spanking.

Never heard of a woman Pastor ? Is this scriptural ? Is this a feminist thing ?

Amazing testimony and I was blessed by her books.

It's really miraculous that Pastor B.D. came to the Lord. She studied on her own and with her husband (went to a lot of services and churches) and they are very evangelist for Jesus.

Excellent teacher and good author.

Since she is the daughter of Bette Davis, I've been trying to learn more about her. From the Internet site she has, it sounds as if she believes you must be born again, but you also have to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit to get to heaven. The Baptism is wonderful, yet I don't think you need that to be saved. B.D. is a good speaker and means well.

I think B.D. Hyman is just utterly terrific. I've read 2 of her books and am deep into a third. I praise God for B.D. and find her a terrific teacher. I'm a new born-again Christian (of about 2 years now) and am grateful I found her. Try out one of her books, it'll bless you!

A bit too strict on how to get to heaven, yet she knows good theology and it is amazing she found the true Lord.

Very evangelistic and her books are awesome.

It wasn't easy being Bette Davis' daughter, I'm sure. With great talent often comes mania. Yet Ms. BDH found God and now teaches. I read her book and it was excellent.

Not only did she become a Christian, but she teaches and preaches! I admire her.

With the life she had as a child, I'm proud of her for becoming a Christian -- and a minister at that.

Very good spokeswoman for the Lord. Her books and audio materials are interesting too.

I always liked Bette Davis' films; in spite of her acting talents, she had a manic personality and was not a great mother. Somehow her daughter, B.D., managed to come out of a life of agnosticism and became a born again Christian! I admire her for serving the Lord and think she is doing good things.

Very anointed. She has done her best to win souls.

A child of the King! She works hard to teach people to come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A TOTAL SPOILED LITTLE BITCH WHO TURNED AGAINST THE MOTHER WHO GAVE HER EVERYTHING. WHAT A PIG!

...was obviously JEALOUS of her incredibly talented mother...What an ass!!!

After having just read 2 books by this woman (one about her mother Bette Davis and one about her spiritual testimony) I am very impressed with Ms. Hyman's beliefs and the way she has lived her life. She deserves a lot of credit for accepting Jesus after being an agnostic and living such an unusual life.

as in bust your hyman? Great name!

This is nothing more than the self-serving rant of a con artist and charlatan who sees no signs and wonders and does not speak for Jesus Christ or anyone who truly believes in Him. She has no shame and apparently no conscience in profiting from her then cancer stricken mother. She was handed a 100,000 dollar advance for a tell all book on her mother Betty Davis. B.D. Hyman's claim of a miraculous healing from terminal cancer" is the grotesque fabrication of a sociopath who will let nothing stand in the way of greed. How easy is it to cure a disease that probably never existed in the first place.

Have to give her credit for being so spiritual and having a ministry. It must have been very difficult to be the daughter of Bette Davis (though she was a great actress). I'm just grateful B. D. knows the Lord!
