Recently watched old documentary called The Fifth Estate - Expose of TV Evangelist Benny Hinn. Obviously i never believed Benny Hinn(when i first saw him on TV, i thought he was the biggest douch even worse than John Edward) but i was shocked to found out how much money he is making and number of followers he's got.. wow.

I just don't get how so many people can believe Benny Hinn can cure aids, cancer, blindness, heart disease, broken bones, etc and send him millions of dollars. Benny claims he doesn't spend any of that money but he lives very first class life style, presidential suite(same one Madonna, Michael Jackson stayed), private jet, etc.

Benny Hinn has millions of followers.. do they all have IQ below 80? cos i think people in 15th century wouldn't have believed him.

just think if every one of his congregation put a dollar in the collection plate... every week. kind of like the mormons. they are encouraged to tithe. 10% anually for over 6 million people(10 years ago). that's a fat chunk of change. i know its 10% i haven't heard how many mormons there are as of 2011, the 6mil figure came from a missionary who used to visit.
 

hehe i thought this was hilarious. he can KO any UFC champion just by waving his hand. :)
