When i was younger i used to look up at these televangelist and be so jealous of the connection they had with God. Take for instance Benny Hinn, the miracle maker. He can heal the sick with a flick of his wrist. I was so amazed at his powers that i always wished i had them too. My father is a pastor so i would always ask him how he got those powers. But then as i got older i learned that he made a lot of money as a pastor because form my personal experience i didnt know many pastors that made over a million dollars a year. That was ridiculous. Benny Hinn apparantly goes on many shopping sprees has a multi-million dollar home and even a private jet. After i learned that i did not respect him anymore. As a pastor one must live humbly but this Benny, is a multimillionaire. I heard he doesnt even donate much money which is ridiculous. I dont know but i am quite dissapointed in him.

When I was very young (don't ask), I watched the world's very first televangelist, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. My mother and I were transfixed: his delivery was awesome. His show was called "Life is Worth Living" and he was watched by millions of people (back in 1955 that was so impressive a number that even "Mr. Television" Milton Berle wisecracked about how popular Sheen was).
I remember asking why we didn't send Bishop Sheen any money for his causes. "Hey, you can be sure he lives well enough as it is - you've seen how our priests live in the rectory. Sheen's got it a lot better than we do. Besides, he's SUPPOSED to be on television - that's his calling!"
Today's high-living televangelists are an embarrassment to Christianity. Of course, most Christian viewers would never admit to gullibility, but that's what televangelists count on:
One old fundamentalist complained: "Why, you people think of us as either an Elmer Gantry or an Elmer...Fudd!"
Unfortunately, it's twoo, it's weewee weewee twoo. But there's also a very dark side to those gullible Fudds: always remember that, as gullible as he is, Fudd's the one with the gun!
