March 8th
there was an NBC program, dateline, on march 6th, that investigated
the benny hinn empire and exposed a lot of its horror stories.
here's supplementary material about the expose.
now, if only someone would do a corresponding expose of these ngos,
such as asha, aid, sabrang, communalism combat, sahmat, anhad, pipfpd,
and so forth, and forced a clear accounting of the sources of income
and where their moneys are going! that would be most enlightening, i
am sure.
the more 'respectable' ngos such as action aid, world vision, etc. are
also quite shady, and are accused of covert and sometimes blatant
conversion activity.
those ngos that actually do a good job, on the other hand, get
harassed and slimed -- like idrf, sewa international.

self-described miracles of television's popular televangelist and
