"Death is something we did not ever talk about growing up. If you did, you were rebuked.

I can't speak for every prosperity preacher. I'll just talk to you about the Hinn empire. There is no topic more scary than death. More than sickness, death. In our home, if we brought up death, we were told do not speak about death, lest you invite the spirit of death into our home." - Costi Hinn, author of God, Greed, and the Prosperity Gospel
