It couldn't happen to a nicer scumbag.
Benny Hinn was refused entry to Britain because he had failed to bring a valid sponsorship certificate from his church Photo: AP
Thousands who travelled to see Mr Hinn perform at a London rally have been were left disappointed after officials at Stansted airport would not let him in the country.

Border Agency officials turned back Mr Hinn, who landed by private jet, because he had failed to bring a valid sponsorship certificate from his church, required under rules introduced last November.

The Pentecostal preacher, who was due to perform at a three day rally in a Docklands exhibition centre this weekend, flew on to Paris, and attempted – and failed – to regain entry to Britain via Luton.
I feel a little bad for the folks who spent a lot of money to see the scumbag, but they'd have most likely lost it anyway, Hinn being who he is.
N December 1974 Benny began holding weekly healing meetings in Oshawa , Ontario ,despite his complete lack of formal study or knowledge of scripture.

In 1983 Benny Hinn moved his operations to the Orlando Christian Center in Florida .

Following some legal troubles, Hinn decided in late 1999 to move his operations to Dallas , Texas and began what is today known as the Benny Hinn Fraud.

Hinn has since become the most popular televangelist and faith healer in the world. Thousands pack stadiums and amphitheaters hoping to be healed.

Although Hinn has been asked and challenged many times he has failed to prove even a single "healing" objectively. His claims of "miracles" also lack scientific evidence or proof. Instead, people apparently feel "healed," therefore they are "healed."

The media has often scrutinized the Benny Hinn fraud. Time and time again he is shown to knowing manipulate the faithful and take willingly take their money.

It has been reported that the Benny Hinn Ministry is takes in more than $100 million dollars annually.

I wonder how many people who rant and rave against Obamas "socialist health care" gladly give their money to this obvious fraud.

Didn't know that part. That's a 10 minute drive from me, if I could find out where it would be a good place top stop for a quick pee.

Just noticed this on Hinn's web site:

Don Colbert, M.D. has practiced medicine in Central Florida for over twenty years, and is Pastor Benny Hinn’s personal physician.


Why does a faith healer need a personal physician, or any physician?

LOL

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Well...that's a step in the right direction! I wish this world could
'skeptic-heal' his ass outta here. But (sigh), guys like him profit from
the sucker-born-every-minute crowd.

This came to mind....it's that good old little YouTube on Hinn's stage
antics. Turn up the volume...
