The line of suckers is long, but they needn't fret—Hinn and his gang will find the time to take money from each and every one of them.

He's not my cup of tea, but it seems 15,000 claimed cures over there. They couldn't ALL be plants.

No, they're not all plants. But they're all willing participants, fervent believers, caught up in an emotional maelstrom, surrounded by thousands of charged-up people similar to themselves, bright lights, loud music, and much (Hinn-generated) confusion. In such an atmosphere, they allow themselves (somewhat like hypnosis subjects allow themselves) to be led and acted upon. Note that those who were really ill were turned away from the stage. Hinn can't afford to have the un-cured spoiling his act.

Benny dresses to the nines. Best dressed preacher I ever saw.

Sounds like investors in the stock market, doesn't it?

Benny Hinn is just another snake oil peddler.

PT Barnum made a fortune off of people just like this.

I don't know that at all.

Where does that information you have come from?

Common sense.

I don't know for a fact that this fellow is a fraud. I do know TBN backs the guy strongly and I know they are real.

I wouldn't call your hunch common sense, it's just your opinion.

Looks like Benny Hinn has an army of well trained and instructed volunteers who screens the people to see if they are really ill. If they are, then they wont be the ones getting the opportunity to come close to him. You would be allowed to go near him only if you are already cured or not really sick.

This is a joke on your part. Right?

Donald Trump is probably more honest. For whatever that is worth.
