The good folks at Tominthebox.net recently learned that Benny Hinn has been granted the first official “sainthood” by Health, Wealth and Prosperity “Gospel” (HWPG) leaders like Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Leroy Thompson, and Joel Osteen.
In a statement, Kenneth Copeland explained the rationale behind the decision to bestow the sainthood upon (Benny) Hinn:
“Well, the man has healed many,” said Kenneth Copeland. “And his ministry is worldwide, plus he’s got that cute little accent which really adds a sort of cultural flair to the whole deal. Overall though, we looked primarily at his bank account and his possessions. That man’s got a lot of stuff and that’s proof he’s got a lot of faith.”
I wonder what I might get if I revere this saint alongside the popes of the Emergent movement and the Environment (Al Gore). First things first though, I’ll have to print this out, get it laminated then stick it on my bank book!
Full story here.

Just in case some read this and think it real, I’ll like you to know that it is pure satire, nothing else.
I thought it was real. hahaha.
I’d believe anything coming from the WOF loonies.
They’ve probably DO have those meetings though.
It’s just THAT bad.
Event though the picture was funny, I thought is was real too.
Don’t be surprised if something like this really happens.
That guy knows how to use his Photoshop LOL. Seriously, this is how some people (incl. my father) view Benny Hinn - “See Benny and all your troubles will go away”.

Heya Perla, good to see you and thanks for sharing your thoughts! You’re probably right — they’d have such meetings though I’ll reserve comment on what I think they might be discussing, ha ha!

I won’t be too surprised, really, but it’ll be good coz then I’ll have more patron saints to venerate!

Et tu, Graham?! You were also looking forward to printing it out to “pray” for health, wealth and prosperity?
There, there, have some more Flanders Stew, my good brother…
I am unprepared for another traumatic experience. hahaha
