My FaceBook comment:

…too funny. As a guy who came from a house that accepted the “word of faith” teachings (and it was the cause of my fathers early death: http://tinyurl.com/qe46zg4 ~ see also: http://tinyurl.com/d4omv4), I know what a reasonable, healthy/well-balanced faith should look like — hint: not like the above. So I can laugh at this but am always amazed and saddened at how gullible we as humans are (religiously AND politically) — and why Scripture asks us to “check” our faith often (http://tinyurl.com/kt8tbkj). A funny find… I needed that laugh this morning.

Benny Hinn Sued-Update to Affair

OneNewsNow has this latest update to the life we all know to be a sham:

Popular charismatic televangelist, Benny Hinn, is being sued by a Christian book publisher for allegedly violating a morality clause in their book contract.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Strang Communications launched the suit this past week claiming that Hinn violated the morality clause when he began an ” inappropriate relationship” with another popular charismatic figure, Paula White.

The suit says Hinn was given a 300-thousand dollar advance on the first of a three-book deal with Strang.

It says that last August, Hinn acknowledged the ” inappropriate relationship” with White and agreed the publisher should get the money back.  However, the suit says Strang has still not received that money.

Last summer, the National Inquirer published photos of Hinn and White going in and out of a hotel in Rome holding hands.

According to the publication, Christian Today, both denied any wrongdoing and said they simply shared a ” friendship” and that no ” immorality” existed between them.

Hinn has stated that the twice-divorced White has been an encouragement to him after his wife filed for divorce last year.

Not Your Typical Negro Has Posted This Video on Benny Hinn

In blues, soul, and R&B music men like Bobby Womack, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, and Al Green were noted specialists in a lyrical aesthetic known as “begging”. “Please, baby please” this, or “please, baby please” that. In my generation, the preeminent “begger” was Keith Sweat. Well, Keith ain’t got NUTHIN on this. 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. 


Benny Hinn Having an Affair With Paula White (?)

Televangelist Benny Hinn, who resides behind gates in Dana Point and has a church and television studio in Aliso Viejo, and Without Walls International Church pastor Paula White of Florida have posted statements on their websites denying a report that they are romantically involved (OC Weekly).

…White was a self-proclaimed “messed-up Mississippi girl” growing up in Tupelo. Her father committed suicide when she was 5, and White’s website says she suffered “sexual and physical abuse” up until she was 13. White says her life changed when at 18 she received a “divine visitation.”

By 1991, she and then-husband Randy White were founding their own mega-church in Tampa.

The couple announced their divorce in 2007, after the church came under fire to failing to repay $170,000 borrowed from an elderly widow. The money, originally borrowed in 1995, was used as down payment on a house.

Randy stayed on with the ministry, now called Without Walls International Church.

Last year, however, Paula returned to that church’s pulpit, replacing Randy, who resigned citing ill health. At her first sermon, White told the congregants: “Mama is back.”…

The question is this, while the National Enquirer often gets it wrong [they were right on Jesse Jackson and John Edwards], when pics like this hit the “press,” it is hard to deny:
