180-minute video tape, $29.95
Did you ever wish you could collect and compile all the major news medias investigative exposés on the antics of Benny Hinn? Well, now you can. The televangelist watchdog group, The Trinity Foundation, has organized three solid hours of documented, hard-hitting reports on the escapades of the controversial faith healer. Its all you ever wanted to know about Hinn and more. The montage begins with the 1993 Inside Edition investigation of the finances and healings of the evangelist. The Inside Edition footage, the first study of Hinn by the national news media, still ranks as one of the best if not the best of showing Hinn at his worst. It features Hinn and his entourage trying to bully their way past Inside Editions news crew at the Philadelphia airport and how the Hinn ministrys irresponsible disregard for documented healings caused them to broadcast a fake healing. But the Inside Edition piece is just the tip of the iceberg. From there the video moves on to Hinns 1993 700 Club appearance with Pat Robertson where he laments his former ways and teachings. As the video progresses into more recent reports, much of what Hinn bemoaned to Robertson and his audience is still evident in Hinns life and ministry. The collection also contains reports that would otherwise be hard or impossible to find. These include Pam Zekmans 1993 three-part report (WBBM-ABC Chicago), the 1998 60 Minutes (Australia) segment, and Richard Rays 1999 two-part report (KDFW-FOX Dallas-Fort Worth). Also included are local news items from various Orlando television stations that chronicle Hinns problems at home. They reveal Hinns misfortune when he hired a private investigator to look into his ministrys finances (and apparently found more than what Hinn bargained for) and the deaths of two of his key staff by heroin overdoses. In all the reports, Hinn consistently groans with ignorance of the facts as to the out-of-control world he has created around himself. The astute viewer of all this will ask, How can someone who is so in tune with the Divine (i.e., receiving personal messages from Jesus), be so out of touch with his life and ministry? Interspersed throughout the reports is a selection of Hinns most outrageous theological bloopers, including Adam was an astronaut, the Red Sea icecapades, the Holy Ghost machine gun and TBN to raise the dead. And, yes, no Benny Hinn video collection would be complete without his wife, Suzannes Holy Ghost enema and butt-kisser statements. Those clips are there too. The video not only will educate and entertain, but bring most viewers to heartbreak by the revelations of how this mans false and reckless teachings have devastated the lives of some followers. |
