Kally, did your mother see the program? I'm always curious to know what True Believers think when they see one of their own exposed (assuming he was). If she was presented with evidence that he is a con artist, would it make any difference to her or would she find a way to rationalize it and continue supporting his "ministry"?

My mom would never watch any show against those con people. She would be even more convinced that xians are persecuted! Freaky, isn't it??

One time Benny Hinn said he wanted a "HOLY GHOST MACHINE GUN" to blow away all of his critics! The asshole.

They had a believer on there who denied all the evidence. She made me so sad. Hinn had convinced her to give him 12,000 a year (christ that's a college education in some places!) and she said, "It's helped me. For instance, I'll find 50 bucks in my coat pocket."

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

Yikes! Heh, maybe we can indict him now for plotting a terrorist activity. Maybe all these new laws from the Bush administration can be put to good use!

I wonder if a family member of one of those people who died 2 months after being "healed" can start a class-action wrongful death lawsuit against him. If he convinced people they were healed, and those same people stopped taking medicines or seeing their regular physician, than his actions caused their premature death. Would be hard to prove though.

I doubt any judge would certify the class.

How much would the guy charge and what would he do? I've never heard of him before.

edited to add: Ack! What happened to my post count? Not that it really matters, but I lost about 200 posts.

pz,

He is Israeli

I thought he was Lebanese.

Dawin's Finch,

I'm always curious to know what True Believers think when they see one of their own exposed (assuming he was).

Oh, they'll still believe him. My wife's family ardently attends W. V. Grant's "crusades", though I've informed them he spent time in prison for tax fraud.

I'm not sure which Benny is the bigger joker: Hill or Hinn.

Ya I saw it.

I thought it was great how they exposed him for the fraud he is!

I think the thing that really pissed me off was that, because its a church, all that money he gets is TAX FREE!! And that 3 1/2 million dollar house, good investment my foot!

That two tone mullet was Gawwwwdawful.

He should be busted for felony bad hair, just like that congressman Traficant and his horrible rug.
