Televangelist Benny Hinn asks for $2M in donations

SANTA ANA, California — Televangelist Benny Hinn has posted a plea for $2 million in donations on his website.

Hinn says he accumulated the deficit in the past few months because offerings at some international appearances did not cover expenses.

Hinn's reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers but has also drawn criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups.

He is one of six televangelists who have been targeted by federal lawmakers investigating compliance with IRS rules for nonprofits.

She calls it "This is a Protestant Catholic Orthodox Christian web site."
http://www.reformation.org/page2.html#The%20Wonders There ARE some gems in there, Matthew 6:5-6 is a good example, Benny should read what Jesus said there-do not pray in public 'cause then you're likely a hypocrite. I'm paraphrasing it but......Gee I hope Benny isn't "praying" on tv, Jesus will be pissed....

3. He belongs in jail, not enjoying NFP status as a free man.

10. He may wish he was in jail later.....

...after the http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/18/benny-hinn-divorce-wife-s_n_468296.html">judge makes the final decision on his divorce case. And is in all likelihood, what's really behind this so-called "donation drive."

4. Why doesnt he sell his Jet

...which is worth 11 million as is..

[DeSwiss]

11. I hear ya!

He should consider one of these:



;) - That way he could make some money on the side when he ain't preaching no where.....

5. I hope federal lawmakers and the IRS find everything they need

to put this fraud into a cold, hard cell for a long, long time.

[DeSwiss]

12. My fear is that he'll ultimately see.....

...that politics pays better and allows one to lie like a damned dog and get away with it. In fact, both professions have devolved into something quite similar these days.

6. Would that his followers might discover his fraud

and express their displeasure manually.

[DeSwiss]

13. That's very unlikely to ever happen....

...because it requires critical thinking capabilities that they don't have. Otherwise they would have never ended up there with him in the first place.

15. Very true, but a boy can dream... nt
