Thanks for those links....

I hear what you are saying...I also believe the miraculous cures can and do happen...I just dont happen to believe that the likes of this Bentley fella or the likes of Benny Hinn, are the ones carrying out these cures....those guys are just as fake as it can get...

I will give you a link to another scam artist, that I used to see during the late 1970’s and the early 1980’s when I lived down in North Carolina...this guy’s name was Jim Whittington, and he was based out of South Carolina, I believe...he had his Sunday Morning Revivial meeting on TV, and had some singing and such, and then he would start into ‘healing folks’.....this guy also went to jail, here is a Wikipedia article about him...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Whittington

That was so many years ago...we moved from North Carolina to Washington State, and I had not thought about Whitting for many years...then once, in the middle of the night here, I was channel surfing and good grief, there appeared Whittington, accompanied by one of his daughters, with their schtick...so I decided to google Whittington, and found out that Whittington spent time in jail..Naturally as soon as they get out, they go back to the business they know best...

Anyway, here is Whittingtons latest website...

I guess his motto is looove, he’s been married 4 times.

It is sad though what these people do and they do it to defraud, there is no luv. People who go to them are sometimes desparate and they hold up non-existent hope.

My mom believed them. When we were going through her stuff she had lots of pins from the 700 Club and other “free” gifts from other televangelists.

These guys are just as bad as the Nigerian scammers, they are stealing by lying, granted people want what they say they are selling but they should be put out of business.
