As a youngster, I dabbled a bit in hypnotism. So, some years later, when I first saw TV evangelist Benny Hinn doing his thing, it seemed to be to be a pretty average and repetitive performance of stage hypnotism, nothing more. I now see from his website that money is tight, and he is now making “An Urgent Plea from My Heart to Yours†for dosh.
Far be it from me to give financial advice, but maybe he should consider reining in the expenses a bit? According to Wikipedia, Hinn lives in an ocean-front mansion valued at an estimated $8.5 million, travels by private aircraft, and stays in hotel rooms costing upwards of $3,000 per night.
While it’s always nice to see someone doing well for themselves, one should remember that Hinn and his like are peddling hope, promises and cures – often to the most vulnerable people. I’m afraid Benny won’t be getting a contribution from me.
