Do tell.

[LeftCoast]

2. Benny's going on trial?

How cool is that?! :) Got a link or anything? I hadn't heard about this.

[Kire]

12. I asked "when is the trial", a hypothetical question.

he's a fraud

it's almost over, you just missed him on hidden camera saying he only knows what the people tell him when they claim to be healed, the correspondent pointed out that "God told him" was the answer he expected.

4. Trail for what...wearing a bad toupee?

[Jokinomx]

Shooow Meee the Mooooooneeeey...!!!

[libnnc]

I used to work with people who SERIOUSLY watched that crap every night. I HATE fundie-televangelism!!!! It is fucking poison, venom, bile! :nuke:

7. Benny Hinn? It's about time.

He's the biggest fraud since Jim Bakker. He used to preach in a little church near where I lived in the '70's. I used to see Benny Hinn signs everywhere. He was a master promotionalist even back then.

8. So what'd he do?

Something juicy, I hope.

11. not one specific thing -- just charging lavish stuff to the ministry

like staying in presidential suites on "layovers" between his appearances and home.

general bilking the masses type stuff.

[elehhhhna]

14. 10K per night Presidential Suite--900 dollar dinner tabs, 6K incindentals,

that's just like one layover. (He takes a private jet everywhere but plans layovers whenever he's near Hawaii and particuliarly Cancun...)

9. Yes, don't keep us in suspenders

[u4ic]

10. He was also outed on The Fifth Estate

13. Good report.

I like how Benny responded after Dateline aired their first story on his ministry: He had a 3 hour live broadcast, thanking God for the unfair reporting by Dateline.

He doesn't miss a beat.

I just don't understand how people can fall for him. :shrug:
