I just saw this video on Reddit of Benny Hinn using his magic “Jesus Jacket” to heal followers of everything from rickets to AIDS.
In case you think that no one would believe this comical scene, Benny Hinn Ministries reportedly makes over $200 million a year.
My question is where do you send the Jesus Jacket to be dry cleaned or is it magically dry cleaned on its own?
Blouise,
Who are you, Churchill? I somehow don’t envision you with a Brandy Sniffer and a Munch in the other hand….

Blouise–
I may be more cynical than you. I think he’s also addicted to the money he rakes in from these suckers.
==============================================================
Oh yes, I agree but … his addiction runs deeper than that. He’s no different than the Wall Street broker, the Bank President, or the crooked politician fighting to keep his seat no matter how public his corruption. The addiction is to power … that’s why, even when they have more money than they could ever spend, they continue on. Without power, their lives are meaningless. The hold the addiction has on them is as total as that of a crackhead’s next fix. They will sacrifice anything and anybody to maintain that high including their humanity. And that loss of humanity is the inescapable conclusion to their life of addiction. That is the natural progression of the evil that snuck in at the moment of their first great success.
(I use evil here without any connotation of religion) I could just as easily write: It is at the moment of our greatest success that we are most vulnerable to calamity. The meaning is the same.
Are condoms included or are they trying to infect everyone…..
It’s a relatively cheap high and they can leave the auditorium without any pangs of guilt for there were no illegal drugs or alcohol involved … they got high on god. Poor deluded suckers. On his web site he sells “prosperity anointing oil” and other such devices. One can get high all over again in the comfort of one’s living room, anointed for prosperity and grasping what is certain to be this week’s winning lottery ticket.

“those people are nuts and what is worse is that they vote.”
You took the words right out of my mouth.
“Can people actually have minds that are that weak?”
You betcha! And they’re raising another generation who will be just as easy to manipulate by folks like Hinn.
… however, Drowning Pool was one of my favorite heavy metal groups and “Bodies” was one of their best.
Like a rock star smashing his guitar during a performance, and the audience getting carried away with emotion.
Something for everyone, which is how this mass delusion has survived for so long.

Blouise has him nailed exactly.
Elaine:
that has got to be the funniest and scariest video yet. those people are nuts and what is worse is that they vote. Can people actually have minds that are that weak?

If Hinn’s raking in $200,000,000 a year–I guess we could call them holy HIGH rollers!
=============================================================
To take your play on words and spin it slightly:
If one is properly skilled, it is relatively easy to tap into the emotions of an audience and get them High. It is also a tremendous High for the tapper. Somewhere along the line Mr. Hinn experienced that High and I can guarantee you that he is more addicted than those in his audience.
Even if the money stopped flowing tomorrow, he would be doing it on a street corner for nothing.
It is at the moment of our greatest success that we are most vulnerable to evil. Mr. Hinn did not properly gird himself against that moment … look where it has led him.

Elaine M.,
They don’t call ’em holy rollers for nothin’
I like the spitting. I guess his saliva contains holy water.
What is the black thing on his belt? Is it Hinn’s Holy Holster containing the Lord’s Luger to send the sick to heaven when the Jesus Jacket fails?
He’s such a pure con artist you almost have to admire him.
The WWF needs him.
Benny don’t need no stinkin’ jacket!

Well, a fool and his money are soon parted!
Buddha,
I am offering the ability for you to have you name remembered herein and hereafter. The price of being a Saint is compatible with your spiritual development. We as a group are very sympathetic to being a recluse bitten by a recluse and we offer you the ability to be healed in the most favorable atmosphere. f course at this moment it does not include the Hinn Ben Jacket. This is a value added service.
Get well or …….or become a Saint…..the price is priceless….
I am aware of a place that offers the services Mr. Hinn requires….
He would make one helluva congressman/senator.LOL!!
My question is does it work on spider bites?
I’m going back to bed. Have a Hinn-chman wake me when I’m healed.
