Christian Right televangelist Benny Hinn: I need $2 million and I am NOT having an affair
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.

Oh, and television evangelists Benny Hinn and Paula White are denying reports that allege the two are having an affair.

On July 23, The National Enquirer published photos of Hinn and White leaving a Rome hotel together, holding hands.

2. Jesus provides for need, not greed...
Some of these charlatans need to learn a lesson.

4. I don't know, I think Jesus provides pretty well for Benny Hinn.
That is the face of Christianity, you know. Money, power, fame.

They are the one's who get the message out, reach millions of homes through the television, get the suckers to send them more money so they can dress real well and drive around in their fancy cars and live in their luxurious mansions.

Jesus provides for those who believe, don't you know? That's prosperity for ya.

3. I need $2 million, too.
Send it to me instead. I'm cuter and there are no watchdogs criticising me. And I'm not having an affair.

20. Nope, sorry
One affair is only worth $2 million.

Carry on three different affairs at the same time. THEN you rise to the $10 million level......

26. Here goes (apologies to the OP)
Sea of Blue, Full of Goo (to the tune of Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue)
(as sung by Tony Hayward)

A.
Sea of blue,
Full of goo
Add tons of Corexit, too
Has anybody seen my oil?
B.
B P’s drill
Had a spill
Whale food now is toxic krill
Has anybody seen my oil?
C.
You know I heard B P
Promise me
They’d clean the tar
Well they’ve got nerve
When gulf shrimp serve
Just to lubricate my car
A.
When it’s found
Scoop it up
Clean those beaches cup by cup
Has anybody seen my oil?
B.
Take a dive
Search some more
Vacuum up the ocean floor
Has anybody seen my oil?
C.
You know they promised me
Recently
It wouldn’t stray
But it got out
Jumped the spout
From Texas clear to Tampa Bay
D.
Now it’s capped
So I’ll shoot
For my golden parachute
No more beaches left to spoil
‘Cause now I have my booty
Coast Guard, do your duty,
And go clean up my sweet crude oil!

16. no shame at all...
here's an example of someone who was born without a conscience and therefore unaware of there being a natural reason for feeling shame.

18. Benny, this means you're in a state of unconfessed sin. Remember?
Did you forget what your own prosperity gospel teaches?

God wants you to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams ("my Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills"), but he can't bless you as long as you're in active rebellion against His perfect will.

25. Better off giving money to Benny Hill rather than Benny Hinn...
Though Benny Hill has sadly passed on, I'm sure that the executors of his estate would find a good use for any funds directed their way - to do some actual good.
