Paula White Cause of Insanity-Related Prophetic Disease Featured On Acclaimed Fox TV Drama “House”

April 11, 2008

In case you missed it last month, the Fox TV show “House” portrayed the real life story of Elma May Howard, a Spirit-filled preacher and prophetess from Ravenswood, West Virginia. Mrs. Howard’s story is unique in the fact that although she finally received a correct diagnosis from the famous Mayo Clinic diagnostician Dr. Peter Tramal, she has refused medical treatment for her condition, which she now calls “a blessing” and welcomes cheerfully.

Mrs. Howard’s story begins back in late 2005, when at the age of 47 she began vomiting daily every Monday through Friday, while experiencing normal health on the weekends. This continued for several months until her husband, Werner, took her to the Ravenswood hospital for help. But while there, Mrs. Howard’s vomiting stopped, and she was released and given a clean bill of health after only four days of observation.

When she returned home, Mrs. Howard quickly began vomiting again, and on Sundays she started having abrupt bouts of hysterics and insanity. During these episodes, Mrs. Howard would often don a grey wig, run around her neighborhood and then pull the hair out of the wig while shouting, “They’re driving me crazy, crazy, I tell you!” At other times, she would take a hammer and drive nails for hours on end into the big oak tree in her front yard. Whenever she did this, she would repeatedly shout “Greedspeed! Greedspeed!” Once, after pounding about 300 nails into the tree, Mrs. Howard drove to a nearby Charismatic church (not her own) and tried to castrate the pastor, Rev. Donald P. Bomgarden, who at the time was performing a baptism in a nearby pond. What saved him was the church secretary, who heroically pushed Mrs. Bomgarden out of her way and jumped in front of the pastor right as Mrs. Howard began attacking. The 28-year-old secretary, whose name was Anna Clauste, received stab wounds to her chest, her doctor stating that the breast enhancement she received five years earlier was what ultimately saved her life. No charges were filed against Mrs. Howard for the attack, however; Pastor Bomgarden wanted the incident uninvestigated and out of the headlines for reasons then unclear to the police and media.

After several months of this daily vomiting and Sunday hysterics, Mr. Howard took his wife to the Ravenswood Hospital once again, but the small-town doctors were mystified and could not come up with a diagnosis. They ran tests on her for gastroenteritis, thyroid dysfunction, GERD, diabetes, pancreatitis, gallstones, peptic ulcers, all of which cause vomiting, but these proved negative. Tests for mental illness as well proved negative. Doctors were also perplexed by the fact that her symptoms always subsided while she was in the hospital. Soon Mrs. Howard’s file was sent to the Mayo Clinic, where the renowned Dr. Peter Tramal took the case.

Dr. Tramal’s first order of business: have the Ravenswood doctors search the Howard house for vomit-inducing poisons and toxins. However, nothing out of the ordinary was found, save a few packs of cigarettes found hidden in Mrs. Howard’s shoes. Mrs. Howard had previously lied to the Ravenswood doctors about smoking, saying she didn’t, but after confronted with the shoes and cigarettes, Mrs. Howard confessed, “OK, so I smoke, and I smoke a pack a day. I told my husband I had quit, and I just didn’t want to let my dear Werner down.”

Accordingly, Tramal ordered the noxious Mrs. Howard to undergo nicotine detox at a Charleston, WV, facility, and the case was closed–so he thought. After Mrs. Howard left detox and returned home, the vomiting worsened, and on Saturday evenings she started jumping off the roof of her one-story house, screaming, “Ma’am on house! Ma’am on house! Watch out for ma’am on house!” Tramal was perplexed. He immediately sent her to a Charleston psychiatric hospital for further evaluation, but the psychiatrists found nothing wrong.

Dr. Tramal was stumped. What was causing the frequent vomiting and bizarre behavior of an otherwise normal woman? Why did it always stop when Mrs. Howard entered the Ravenswood Hospital? Tramal flew to Ravenswood to find out. In an intense, hours-long interview with Mrs. Howard, the following facts arose, providing answers to the mystery: 1. There were three TVs in the Howard house. 2. The Howards had a satellite dish in their backyard. 3. The Ravenswood Hospital had only basic cable TV, with only thirteen channels in total. 4. Mrs. Howard was a fairly new Christian and attended a non-denominational, Holy Ghost church that emphasized the cross and grace. She had been baptized in the Spirit and prophesied often in her church. All of her prophecies had come to pass, except for one. 5. Three months prior to the start of the vomiting, Mrs. Howard had studied the prophetical Old Testament books of Ezekiel and Isaiah, even copying them by hand.

As Dr. Tramal dug deeper into Mrs. Howard’s life, he found that she was what some consider a “Jesus freak.” She went to church three times a week and watched Christian TV at home daily. Her favorite programs were “I’m a Famous Millionaire and You Can Be One Too!” (Kenneth Copeland’s show), “Prosperity, Power, and the Privileged Life” (Creflo Dollar’s show), “Keys to Material Wealth Can Be Yours If You Sow a Big Seed Into My Ministry” (Mike Murdock’s show), and “Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Paula White Today” (Paula White’s show). Soon, Dr. Tramal, a devout Christian himself, pieced the puzzle together.

Elma May Howard repented of her sins and became a born-again Christian in May 2003. Immediately she began reading the Word of God, and soon she started attending a small Spirit-filled church in Ravenswood called “The Way Fellowship.” Elma blossomed in Christ during the next two years as she diligently studied the Bible, served in the church nursery, obeyed the Lord, and prayed continually. Then, in late 2005, husband Werner bought a satellite dish, and 200 plus television channels instantly became a part of the Howard family. At first Elma was opposed to the satellite dish, believing it would be a stumbling block to her faith, but she changed her mind after discovering TBN and similar other religious channels.

The following is Dr. Tramal’s final 2006 diagnosis of Elma May Howard:

“Mrs. Howard (hereafter referred to as H) is suffering not from any physical or mental ailment, but from a spiritual ailment I define as Acute Prophetic Symbolism Judgment Disorder (APSJD).

In 2003, after her new birth in Christ, H received a distinct and poignant call from God on her life, which was/is that of a prophet/prophetess. As H grew in the Lord, this call was evidenced by prophecies that always came to pass, all but one of them. In late 2004, she heard the Holy Spirit say that her prophetic gift would include that of prophetic symbolism. But H was a new Christian, so she didn’t understand all that prophetic symbolism entailed, even after studying the books of Ezekiel and Isaiah.

When the satellite dish and thus TBN were introduced into the Howard home in 2005, H began to watch and espouse Mike Murdock and Creflo Dollar’s shows, both of which aired daily Monday through Friday. After rebelling against instruction from both her pastor and the Holy Spirit to stop this, H began vomiting subsequent to watching said shows. This vomiting was in fact prophetic symbolism, in that these shows (when they wolfishly pervert the gospel) make Jesus quite sick, and this sickness was prophetically acted out through H. Furthermore, when on Sundays H began watching Paula White, who teaches heavily on topics such as tithing, enrichment of ministers by seed-faith propaganda, the spiritual and financial benefits of plastic surgery for popular TV preachers, and ways to successfully evade transparency and accountability, more prophetic symbolism occurred. As H ran around her neighborhood yelling ‘They’re driving me crazy!’ and pulling out the hair on her grey wig, this symbolized the Ancient of Days, otherwise known as Father God, pulling out His hair over what is going on in today’s American television church and most WOF (Word of Faith) churches. When H took a hammer and drove nails into the tree, this act symbolized how the prosperity gospel has and is crucifying Christ all over again. (Oh, how the sins of greed, manipulation through deception, and covetousness pierce Him through.) And when H tried to castrate Pastor Bomgarden, this prophetically denoted the apostle Paul’s timeless desire for Judaizers to go ahead and emasculate themselves (Galatians 5:12, New Testament). Yes, God is certainly opposed to the Old Testament yoke of tithing being placed on His New Testament children, and Pastor Donald P. Bomgarden had a reputation in Ravenswood for being a ‘you-better-tithe-until-you-dithe’ preacher who revered Paula White. Evidently, the Holy Ghost wanted to teach him a lesson (or two, but we won’t get into a pastor’s adultery here.) Finally, after H began watching Kenneth Copeland’s show on Saturday evenings, she demonstrated prophetic symbolism every time she jumped off her roof yelling, ‘Ma’am on house! Ma’am on house! Beware of ma’am on house!’ However, after reviewing video tape of three such roof-jumpings, I have found that at times she was actually yelling ‘Mammon house! Mammon house! Beware of mammon house!’ which was a clear reference to Kenneth Copeland’s ministry/church/show.

Now, as H was being used by God in this unique way, she was unaware of what was actually happening. She thought, as we did, that she was truly sick, and she couldn’t even remember her ‘insane’ behavior after the fact. She was also unaware of the truth that God was judging her at the same time He was using her. Incessant vomiting, repeatedly having to go to the hospital, almost being thrown in jail, almost being committed, these were all forms of judgment sent by a merciful, loving God to bring His called and anointed daughter back to the purity of the Word, back to a life undefiled and unadulterated by greed-, fame-, and ego-driven televangelists. And the judgments worked, for today H lives a fruitful life preaching and prophesying the heartbeat of God. She has admitted to slipping and watching the Paula White show a few times since my diagnosis, but when the vomiting quickly returned, she repented and no further hospitalization was ever needed. H has refused any prescription medications that might curb the vomiting if she decides in the future to dissent and watch a heretical hireling show, saying that she doesn’t want to thwart the working of the Holy Ghost and that she humbly welcomes His kind judgment. H continues to be used by God in prophetic symbolism, as she recently pooped outside TBN’s headquarters and shouted, ‘This is what most of your shows look like and smell like to God, and this He will smear on your face if you do not repent of your sins and climb back onto Father’s lap! Malachi 2! Read Malachi 2!’ She then burnt the poop, and as a crowd gathered around her she proclaimed, ‘If you invite heretical, greed-based TV programs into your house and embrace them, you are giving them greedspeed! Stop enabling the wolves to howl!’ Paul Crouch Jr. responded the next day on ‘Praise the Lord’ with only a slight laugh and the statement ‘Nobody and no one in hell is listening to that laykook.’ After pressure from critics, he later apologized for cussing using the phrase ‘in hell.’”

This episode of the highly acclaimed Fox series was entitled “Ma’am on the House,” and Elma May Howard gave a cameo appearance in the program as a registered nurse. In an interview yesterday, Mrs. Howard said this small role will fulfill the one prophecy she gave back in 2004 that never came to pass. It stated: “A woman in a fox’s den shall rise and be another’s fall.” It is recorded on tape at Elma’s church “The Way Fellowship,” which she still attends today.

Since the popular episode aired last month, attendance at Paula White’s Life By Design conferences and Dollar and Copeland’s churches has fallen off dramatically. Also, after a video showed up on Youtube last week showing Elma May pooping at TBN, piles of human excrement have been left nightly on the doorstep of Mike Murdock’s Denton, TX mansion. Last evening, as photographers snapped pictures of Mr. Murdock standing angrily by a poop pile on his doorstep, a publicist for the televangelist doctor minister teacher sage huffed, “This kind of crap is beneath a man of the Reverend’s stature. He has no comment.”

Oh, how all of us redeemed wretches need to submit to our God’s amazing grace…Selah. And oh how we need to stop partnering with the prosperity preachers and begin partnering with gospel preachers…Selah.
