Benny Hinn Gives a Blind Kid Sight, Now the Brat is Ungrateful

[Johny Joe Hold]

I don't know about you, but when someone does me a big favor I say "Thank you". I don't go around saying that nice person is a fraud.

Several years ago, a nine year old blind boy went to a Benny Hinn evangelical event. Most of you know, people who are sick or have some defect go there to get it fixed. That is what Benny Hinn does, heal people. Huge numbers come on stage and are knocked down by the power of Jesus and leave healed.

Benny took time from mass healing to pay special attention to this boy. In front of a packed house and TV broadcast, Benny prayed over the boy and told him he could see. The boy agreed he could see.

Now the guy is in his 20's and claims, I want to emphasize, claims, he is still blind. He now says he thought he saw the big crowd that night that Benny told him was there.

We have no proof this guy is still blind. Anyone can buy a white cane and poke around with it. Anyone can claim they are reading with their fingers when they are really peeking through slightly open eyelids.

The kind of fraud this "blind" man is doing must be stopped. Benny Hinn deserves a medal of great citizenship for all the people he has healed.

or the second day in a row, federal investigators remained on scene Thursday at the Grapevine office of internationally known televangelist Benny Hinn.
An IRS special agent said Wednesday they executed a search warrant.
"Criminal investigation primarily investigates financial crimes against the government," said Special Agent Michael Moseley of the IRS Criminal Investigations department.
And few are likely paying more attention to what's going on than 25-year-old William Vandenkolk.

"I really just want justice," he said Thursday from his home in Nevada. "I want him to admit what he did was wrong."
We still don't know exactly why the government is raiding Hinn's office. But Vandenkolk is interested regardless. You can see Vandenkolk's story posted publicly in a YouTube video, which shows him at a Benny Hinn service when he was just 9 years old. He was supposedly "healed" by Hinn during a service in Las Vegas.
Vandenkolk is legally blind. He said while he was on stage, he felt he could see people's faces clearly in the crowd.
"He told me that everything was going to be fine, that my vision would be 20/20 if not better," he said. "I was just like,'I'm cured!' And then, like I said, a couple hours later, I can't see the TV. What's wrong?"
Not only was Vandenkolk not healed, the family also says the church raised money for William, which they never saw.
"They started giving us the runaround of, 'We're not the people who handle that; call this number.' 'Oh sorry, let me transfer you to this department,'" he recalled.

This is the second time the IRS has looked into Hinn. The first time was in 2005. Hinn has built a multi-million-dollar empire with his healing ministries.
Vandenkolk said Thursday that what he went through upset him for years.
"He abused people's faiths," he said.
We now wait to learn why he's under the federal microscope this time.

Hang on just a gosh-darned minute here!

In front of a packed house and TV broadcast, Benny prayed over the boy and told him he could see. The boy agreed he could see.

So far so good. Then we have a picture of the kid. (He's pretty ugly, by the way, isn't he?)



Now that's obviously taken with a webcam and you can see him looking at the screen. What's he doing watching porn/playing World of Witchcraft if he can't see?

"I really just want justice," he said Thursday from his home in Nevada. "I want him to admit what he did was wrong."

So either the boy said he could see but now says he was lying then, and he can't see, or he said he could see and is now lying by pretending he can't. Either way, it's not Benny Hinn who needs to admit what he did was wrong!

These people disgust me. Proverbs 19:9.

My theory is that God made this guy blind because God in his infinite wisdom already knew that this human will be a sinner. So he made him blind until Benny Hinn healed him to give him a second chance.

What could have happened then is that this boy used his new eyesight to lust after women or maybe watch pornography and God then made the final decision to take his eyesight forever.

Brother Titus,

Is it not possible that he was able to see and then went home and became an onanist?

This seems like a simple case of he said, she said.

One side claims they'll channel the power of Jesus to heal your blindness and raise money to support your family, the other says they're still blind and where's that charity money? We can't be expected to solve everyone's petty problems. We need to just walk away and let God sort it out - just like with all tax and healthcare problems. We need to walk away, to pass by on the other side. That's called taking the moral high road which is where True Christians walk.

So true, Dr. Toole. There is news today that caused me to reflect on the life of healing pastor, Benny Hinn. I'm wondering, is there another Christian leader, other than Christ himself, who has suffered more than Benny?

This thread, about a man whose sight was healed by Benny and later claimed he could not see and accuses Benny of fraud, is an example of mean people piling on Benny. Then there was his nephew who made a good living on Benny's payroll but then turned on him claiming the ministry is all about making money and not healing the sick. He gave salaries to people, the healed, who probably needed a job and should have been grateful. Instead, they falsely claimed they went from venue to venue in buses then on stage falling flat from being healed.

Through all of this criticism I prayed Benny was having a happy domestic life. It turns out he has suffered at home as well. He divorced but then remarried a woman I always felt was did not have the glam befitting a man of Benny's stature. Now, they have divorced for a second time. I hope he can marry a proper wife and go on tour again soon.

This sighted-but-pretending-to-still-be-blind guy is clearly a charlatan trying to scam a man of God.
