She needs to take that 12 grand and take a math class.

What?

She finds 50 bucks in her coat pocket every day for 8 solid months each year?

It would have to be that before it at least got her to break even.

The former. What Benny Hinn is doing is no joke. Hinn is a conman, fraud and scam artist.

Benny Hill was a comedian (although how good he was at it is obviously a matter of taste

)

If you have 'Yakety Sax' going through your head when Hinn knocks people over, it makes the whole experience somewhat less nauseating.

Funny you should say that. The local paper's TV guide often misprints that fraud's show as the the "Benny Hill Show".

It's depressing to watch Hinn's garbage and realise that there are people dumb enough to fall for such crap. Hinn is evil but at least he is performing a public service when the suckers for his miracle "cures" are helped on their way out of the gene pool.

ok

I haven't seen him, but from this, I'm gathering he knocks people down and says they're cured

now.

my question is this:

Has he ever tried to "cure" someone with a fractured skull?

So if God cures these people of cancer, who gave them the cancer in the first place?

I think the thing that really pissed me off was that, because its a church, all that money he gets is TAX FREE!!

To be correct, the money his org. takes in is tax-free because it's a "church." Any salary he personally receives from the org. is subject to personal income tax just like anyone else. (That's why some of his perqs, e.g. the $3m "parsonage" paid for by the "church", could (well, at least should) get him in trouble if not reported correctly).

As far as Hinn's ethnicity, I did a little research; his father is (was?) Arabic, born in Jaffa. His mother is (was?) Arabic, from Ramallah. Benny was born, I think, in Tel Aviv/Jaffa (Tel Aviv "absorbed" Jaffa some years back, I believe).
