The funniest thing on the internets - Selfie from heaven - one more snake oil salesman

http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/western-cape/prophet-claims-heaven-selfie-was-not-his-scam-2009712
<snip>
The prophet who claimed to have gone to heaven and took selfies with Jesus now says it never happened.

Paseka Motsoeneng, also known as Prophet Mboro, this week rejected media reports about him ascending to heaven on Easter Sunday, and taking pictures there with his Samsung Galaxy S7.

His spokesman, Mr Nkuna, later tried to sell the pictures for R5000 a pop, promising to send it via WhatsApp.

But Motsoeneng, of the Incredible Happenings Ministries Church, reckons there’s no truth in the reports because he didn’t die yet, thus there was no way he could have gone through the pearly gates.
