Do televangelists like money because it reads, "In God We Trust"?

Answer 1

I remember when I worked at an unnamed arena in Toronto, we had Benny Hinn in for 2 days. What they did was hand out 75000 invitations that everyone thought were tickets. Now with 20000 seats and 75000 showing up it was complete pandemonium. Let me tell you what 30000 or so angry christians are like, a) not very christian b) violent lunatics. I work as a chef and had popped out back for a cigarette just as the show started, since they had already been turned away at the main doors they showed up at the staff door where I was. Security locked everyone out, including employees to try and get a handle on the situation, standing in a ring of 5000 or so christians in theory should be wonderful, let me asure you it was not. I was threatened, bribed, punched and offered sexual favours. I have never seen anything like it.

Back to the original question, they had a "private room" in the building with 2, 8 foot tables justset up with money counting machines. The whole experience was one of the most depressing things I have ever seen. these poor people looking for answers and this crook swindling these people out of their money. It wasn't really swindling as they couldn't give it to him fast enough.

Answer 2

Yeah, that's the ticket. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Praise be. That pyramid and eye thing is pretty out there though. Them Illuminati fellers must have known someone pretty high up in the U.S. Mint to get a plug on the nation's currency. Just goes to show that the sacred and the profane are two sides of the same coin. Or dollar bill. Whatever.

Answer 3

That could be very true! These people prey on the weak, sick and elderly - telling them they can be helped just by sending for "the holy water", the red "healing cloth", the "green handkerchief", etc. I was home sick last week and was watching the TV at 4:00 a.m. These three holy men were yelling, making strange noises, begging people to call into the prayer line for help. Just for ha-ha's I called all 3 and used a fake name. All sent me "something" back with very explicit instructions to send $17, the biggest bill in my wallet, and a very generous check to help the process. All three asked how much "financial assistance" I needed and I must answer within three days in order to be helped. I plan on sending each one one penny to see if they will continue to pray for me, even though I didn't send in the requested amount. One even called and left a message reminding me I hadn't sent in my "request" and donation as yet. He gave me three more days to do so. Praise the Lord!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Hehehe

Answer 6

Excellent excellent question. But no, it's because with the money, they can buy gold faucets for their bathrooms and air conditioned dog houses while human beings go around homeless and eat in soup kitchens, when they are lucky.

Answer 7

I like money bc of that reason, but instead of God I cross it out and write Squirrel.

Answer 8

They like money so they can afford to put a "My reward is in heaven" sticker in the back window of their Mercedes

Answer 9

I think it's for other reasons.

However, I like my silver certificate, because it does not say in god we trust. It makes me smile, almost gives me hope.

Answer 10
