It really says a lot about the society we live in when a man like Benny Hinn can build a personal empire through taking advantage of those that have put their trust in him. Check out the Benny Hinn Ministries website. Slick or what? The site has more of a corporate feel than that of a religious organization. But here's the good news, next Friday, August 17 / 07, Benny’s coming to your town for one of his Miracle Crusades at the ACC. From the Toronto Miracle Crusade page:

Toronto is the economic center of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, a large urbanized region of 8.1 million people and one that spreads outwards from Toronto and the western shores of Lake Ontario.

Mr. Hinn must drool at the prospect of all that potential money to be made in the "economic center" of Ontario.

As indicated in an ad that appears in the Saturday August 11 / 07 Toronto Star, "All seats are FREE and open to the General Public!". Too good to be true? You bet! I guess the good pastor figures he can afford to give the seats away as he’ll bilk enough money out of the miracle seekers to cover his costs and turn a healthy profit. Speaking of shady financial dealings, Mr. Hinn has been blacklisted by Ministry Watch, an organization dedicated to the transparency of church financial dealings. Mr. Hinn and his ilk disgust me!
