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. :)

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
