"An attorney for the Jehovah's Witnesses asked the Montana Supreme Court on Friday to reverse a $35 million verdict against the church for not reporting a girl's sexual abuse to authorities.

Last year, a jury awarded $4 million in compensatory damages and $31 million in punitive damages to a woman who said she was abused as a child in the mid-2000s by a member of the Thompson Falls Jehovah's Witness congregation.

The abuse came after the congregation's elders disciplined the man over allegations of abusing two other family members in the 1990s and early 2000s, the woman's lawsuit said."
"A Brisbane multi-millionaire who donated $300,000 to a charity associated with a group later found in court to be a "exploitative cult" has said he gave the money freely as a reward for treating his chronic pain.

But software business owner Stephen Ninnes got his cash back, after an Australian Tax Office (ATO) crackdown forced the College of Universal Medicine (COUM) to relinquish almost $600,000 in donations.

The COUM promotes the teachings of Universal Medicine's (UM) multi-millionaire founder Serge Benhayon — a former bankrupt tennis coach who claims to be Leonardo Da Vinci reincarnated.

Mr Ninnes said in hindsight, after damning findings by a New South Wales Supreme Court jury last year in a defamation case brought by Mr Benhayon, "without any shadow of a doubt, I would have nothing to do with it".

 The COUM remains a registered charity, despite being stripped of tax-deductable gift registration by the ATO, which found it was not operating a "college" for tax purposes.

 Other major donors to COUM include Neil Gamble, a prominent executive and former Sydney casino boss, who was once at the centre of the "cash-for-comment" scandal with radio broadcaster John Laws.
"A husband and wife team of pastors from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, are now facing tough questions after selling their longtime church to developers then splurging on a million dollar luxury lakefront home while telling their members that God now wants them to worship in "micro churches" held in their homes.

Bill and Sharon Predovich, senior pastors of the Resurrection Life Church and World Ministry Center they founded 30 years ago, were not immediately available to discuss their new vision with The Christian Post on Monday, but insisted in an ABC 5 report that the real estate transactions were appropriate."

" ... Real estate records cited by ABC 5 show that the pastors, who are both in their 70s, bought their luxury home located on Reitz Lake in Waconia with cash on Sept. 28, 2018.  That same day, the Resurrection Life Church and World Ministry Center received $1 million from a developer who was buying the church's land."

" ... Speaking to their former congregation in a message posted on the church's website in July, Sharon Predovich assured them that they weren't "quitting."

"We're not quitting, we're repositioning. We'll no longer be your pastors, we'll be your apostles over smaller works," she said after explaining how they ended up without a church building."
Faith healer and televangelist Benny Hinn has been getting a lot of positive press for saying he has corrected his own theology and now thinks "it's an offense to the Lord… to say give $1,000." In other words, he will no longer be asking for "seed money" like so many televangelists do.

As we pointed out, he's said this sort of thing before. He's always lied. There was no reason to believe him now.

But in case you need a little more convincing, check this out. Hinn posted this video on his ministry's website yesterday — I repeat, yesterday — and it's virtually identical to his pre-revelation schtick:

At the 26:30 mark, Hinn states very clearly:

… Now you know what to do. You have to sow seed… There's a number on the screen. You call that now and sow your seed. And believe your miracle is on the way!

So… either he forgot his own "revised" policy or he was just bullshitting his audience last week when he said he's a changed man.

He's a televangelist. You know the right answer."

Benny Hinn denounced the prosperity gospel. Again. How should Christians respond?

Hinn has done this several times before, only to preach the prosperity gospel again in the years to follow.

September 22, 2019

One of my favorite movies is a 2014 Brendan Gleeson masterwork called Calvary. It's about an Irish priest, Father James, doing his best to care for a motley collection of townsfolk whose relationship to morality is as complicated as James's own past. In one scene, Father James is summoned to the home of a lonely, drunk, ultra-rich narcissist named Michael Fitzgerald to receive either a confession or a donation, he's not sure which.

As a demonstration of how little money means to him, Fitzgerald takes a priceless painting from the wall of his own parlor, throws it on the floor, drops his pants, and urinates on it. Father James is not impressed by the gesture nor the renunciation of wealth it is meant to communicate. James tells him, “I think you don’t want to do penance at all. I think you asked me here to make fun of me. But when you do want to do penance, sincerely, you can give me a call any time and I’ll try my best to help you.”

As a pastor, I have found myself in Father James’s situation too often — not with the painting or the bodily fluids — but in that moment when I’m called on to discern whether a mendicant is genuine of heart. Is this person who is asking for financial assistance simply scamming the church? Is this person who is asking me to bless his divorce really as innocent as his version of the marriage makes him seem? It is one of the most difficult and unwelcome tasks of ministry.

Earlier this month, Irving-based televangelist, faith healer, and prosperity preacher Benny Hinn announced that he is abandoning the prosperity gospel. Correcting his theology, he called it. For those of us who keep tabs on such theological minutia (I admit we probably seem a curious few to the rest of the world) this was big news. Christianity Today ran it as the top story on its website. The theological twitterverse shrilled. And the question on all of our minds was the same question Father James ponders facing his friend with his pants down: Is this contrition?

Hinn has done this before. In 1987, 1990, 1991, and 1993 he denounced prosperity theology — the belief that God wants to make all Christians healthy and wealthy — only to preach it again in the years to follow.

Prosperity theology is a pernicious distortion of Christian teaching. The Bible describes a God who is slow to anger and abounding in love, who longs to give good gifts to his children. But it also makes clear that those gifts are not always, or even usually, material. Wealth, in fact, can work counter to faith. And the most celebrated heroes of the New Testament — Paul, Peter, James, John, Mary, and Jesus himself — died poor, lonely, and misunderstood. In one of the most famous passages in the book of Hebrews, a list of lionhearts often called the “hall of faith,” the Bible praises disciples this way:

“Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated — the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.”

By contrast, Hinn’s life involves private jets, luxury cars, and European vacation homes.

“Growing up in the Hinn family empire was like belonging to some hybrid of the royal family and the mafia,” Hinn’s nephew Costi Hinn wrote in a 2017 article. “Our lifestyle was lavish, our loyalty was enforced, and our version of the gospel was big business.”

The Bible does not teach that money is evil or wealth is sinful. There’s no maximum earnings allowed for Christians. The warnings in the Bible are about the love of money, about valuing material things more than eternal things. The message of Jesus is not, “Come to me and get rich.” It’s also not, “Come to me and be poor.” It’s closer to, “Come to me and lose everything. Then you’ll understand what your soul is worth.”

And that may be the saddest element of Benny Hinn’s saga. If the value of a soul is measured by how much we’re willing to surrender to keep it, Benny Hinn appears to think that his soul is worth very little.

For most, the answer to the question about Hinn’s contrition may be obvious: of course he’s not sincere. Only a relentless optimist would believe his confession or his preaching. But that’s where we must return to Father James, his urinating penitent, and the one lesson we might learn from Benny Hinn. Unlike the priest and his parish, we are not meant to judge the genuine-ness of Hinn’s repentance. Alongside the Bible’s teachings on wealth is this one on judgement: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

The beggar asking for money, the divorcé asking for absolution, the convicted felon asking for divine forgiveness. These are confessions we can encourage, conversations we can facilitate, but they are not souls for us to judge. In the lines just before Michael Fitzgerald drops his pants, he accuses Father James of breaking this code. “I think you’re a very judgmental man, father.”

To which James answers with his own confession. “Yes I am. But I try not to be.”

So here is Benny Hinn, the prosperity preacher. In another act of histrionics, he has exposed who he is. He has denounced his wealth (though not abandoned it). And he asks us and thousands of his followers to believe him. The best we can do is to keep our wallets in our pockets but our hands open, repeating Father James’s gracious offer: “When you do want to do penance, sincerely, you can give me a call any time and I’ll try my best to help you.”

Transcendental Meditation, Prosperity Gospel, Benny Hinn Ministries, Imperial Valley Ministries,  Trafficking,  Taborites, Communists
 
TM-Free Blog: Convicted child pornography collector was a MUM trustee and major donor to TM organizations
"According to the Repository, Marshall "Marsh" Belden was "known for his charitable efforts in Stark County and restoration and development projects in downtown Canton." But the tax filings of the charitable foundation run by Belden and two other trustees reveal that he had other, evidently more important funding priorities beyond his local area.

Most of the funding history of Belden's foundation, The Olive Branch Foundation, is available online via this database. It shows that of over 6 million dollars donated by that foundation between 1999 and 2016, about 4.8 million dollars went to various organizations connected with Transcendental Meditation. The largest portion of that, about $2.5 million, went to the Maharishi Global Development Fund (MGDF) and its successor, the Brahmananda Saraswati Foundation (BSF). Both of those organizations primarily fund the movement's activities in India managed by Maharishi's nephew, Girish Varma, which include a chain of secondary schools and a gathering of "vedic pandits," that are sometimes called, by them, "peace-creating experts."Their task is to continuously chant portions of Vedic scripture and hymns in hopes that that activity will help to bring about world peace."

Medium: I SURVIVED THE CULT OF TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION
" ... TM proponents say that very few people have had any negative experiences practicing TM, and that those who did most likely had preexisting conditions that precipitated the problems they associated with TM. It wasn't difficult for me to find dozens of people who claim they were severely damaged by their TM practice. Some of them sued TM and the TM organization chose to pay large settlements rather than face them in court. In my book Transcendental Deception I recount some of their stories in a chapter on TM casualties."
All that yogic flying in the domes at Maharishi University, that's supposed to create the magical "Maharishi Effect," has no effect on infectious disease rates.

Four counties named are within 40 miles or so of Fairfield, Iowa, one, Henry County is adjacent to Fairfield, Iowa.

RNS: Is televangelist Benny Hinn renouncing the prosperity gospel?
"Prominent televangelist Benny Hinn has captured headlines over the past week for seemingly renouncing the prosperity gospel on which he built his ministry.

"I'm sorry to say that prosperity has gone a little crazy, and I'm correcting my own theology," Hinn said in a recent "Your Love World" broadcast shared Sept. 2 on the Benny Hinn Ministries Facebook page and YouTube channel, "because when I read the Bible now I don't see the Bible in the same eyes I saw the Bible 20 years ago."

But some have questioned whether the announcement is the about-face it has been presented as, pointing to similar statements Hinn made more than a year ago."

CHRISTIANITY TODAY: Benny Hinn Renounces His Selling of God's Blessings. Critics Want More.
"Benny Hinn says he is done with the prosperity gospel. But longtime observers are not ready to take his word on faith.

Hinn has been a leading proponent of prosperity gospel theology since the 1980s, teaching that God rewards active faith with health and wealth. But on September 2, during his 3-hour, 50-minute weekly broadcast, Hinn said he had changed.

"I am correcting my own theology and you need to all know it," the televangelist told his studio audience and those watching online. "The blessings of God are not for sale. And miracles are not for sale. And prosperity is not for sale."

Hinn said he now believes such give-to-get theology is offensive to God. He specifically repudiated the practice of asking for "seed money," where televangelists tell people that God will bless them if they give a specific dollar amount. Hinn himself has done this numerous times, promising God will give material blessings in exchange for a gift of $1,000. On Monday, he said he wouldn't do it anymore.

"I think giving has become such a gimmick," Hinn said. "It's making me sick to my stomach. And I've been sick for a while too. I just couldn't say it. And now the lid is off. I've had it. You know why? I don't want to get to heaven and be rebuked."

Some of the Christians who have watched him closest, however, viewed the apparent renunciation with skepticism. While they want to be open to the possibility of true repentance, and say God could have changed Hinn's heart, they are waiting for some evidence of his transformation."

"Inside a beige bungalow in California's Imperial Valley with a well-trimmed lawn and beds of pink flowers, the 17-year-old girl felt imprisoned. The doors were locked from the inside. The windows were nailed shut.

Like the other homeless and vulnerable people who came to Imperial Valley Ministries seeking shelter, food and rehab, the teenager was not allowed to leave without supervision, was not allowed to contact her family, to "discuss things of the world" or read any book but the Bible, according to federal prosecutors. Those who lived in the church's group homes had to turn over their money and welfare benefits, their identification and all of their personal belongings, so that even if they wanted to leave, they couldn't, prosecutors said.

Then, once they settled in, they were allegedly forced to panhandle up to nine hours a day for six days a week in parking lots and on street corners — turning over every penny to the church.

Finally the 17-year-old had enough: She busted through the locked window to escape, bleeding from the shards of glass, and ran to a neighbor to call the police.

Now, after her outcry helped propel an FBI investigation, the girl's alleged captors — Imperial Valley Ministry's religious leaders — were charged Tuesday with forced labor for allegedly luring in dozens of victims under false pretenses only to lock them inside group homes and compel them to panhandle for the church's profit. Prosecutors also say a dozen ministry leaders defrauded taxpayers by taking guests' welfare benefits. The victims gave the church permission to take up to 40 percent of their benefits to go toward their expenses. Instead, prosecutors say, IVM took everything.

U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer, of the Southern District of California, called it the "most significant labor trafficking prosecution" in his district in years."  

"Six centuries ago in Bohemia, a dissenter army led by a one-eyed warrior waged war on the Holy Roman Empire. Tom Holland tells the story of the Taborites, whose creed was to reject money, property… and the Antichrist

There had never been anywhere quite like it. The castle, perched on a spit of rock above the Lužnice river, had been abandoned decades before, and the blackened ruins of the settlement that had once surrounded it were choked by weeds. The rubble had to be cleared, and a new town built from scratch. There was an urgent need of fortifications. The nights were bitterly cold. Yet still the refugees came. All through March 1420, they made the trek, drawn from every class of society, from every corner of Bohemia (a kingdom that's now part of the Czech Republic). By the end of the month, camped out amid tents and half-built perimeter walls, there were women with their children, in flight from burning villages; tavern-keepers from Prague and peasants armed with flails; knights, clerics, labourers and vagrants.All shared in the common danger – and all shared a common status. Every man was called brother, and every woman sister. There were no hierarchies, no wages, no taxes. New arrivals were obliged to hand over their possessions, which were shared out according to need. Private property was illegal. All debts were forgiven. The poor, it seemed, had inherited the earth.

The town, the first ever to be founded on quasi-communist principles, was called Tabor by its inhabitants. The name broadcast a defiant message to its enemies. In the Bible, it was recorded that Jesus had climbed a mountain to pray. "And as he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning." The site of this miracle had long been identified by scholars with a mountain in Galilee: Tabor. The radiance of the divine had suffused its summit, and heaven had been joined with earth. Now it was happening again. As lords laboured alongside peasants, toiling to provide Tabor with an impregnable screen of fortifications, they were not just constructing a stronghold, but aiming to set the entire world on fresh foundations.

Tabor had no hierarchies, no wages, no taxes. Private property was illegal. All debts were forgiven. The poor, it seemed, had inherited the earth

For centuries, the immense edifice of the Catholic church, too, had stood as a monument to this ambition. It had been raised in defiance of earthly monarchs, and fashioned to serve the needs of all the Christian people. But now the lava of its radicalism had begun to calcify; the papal order had become the status quo.

Nothing, perhaps, was more debilitating to the claims of the Roman church to be the bride of Christ than one enduring abomination: a papal schism. Back in 1378, two rival popes had been elected. The schism proved impossible to heal. In 1409, a council of bishops and university masters, meeting in Pisa, declared both rival popes deposed, and crowned a new candidate – but this, far from delivering Christendom a single pope, had merely left it stuck with three. Small wonder, confronted by such a scandal, that a few bold souls, pushing at the very limits of what it was acceptable to think, began to contemplate a nightmarish possibility: that the papacy, far from holding the keys to the gates of heaven, might in truth be an agent of hell."

Benny Hinn Renounces His Selling of God's Blessings. Critics Want More.


Observers take wait-and-see approach to televangelist “correcting” his prosperity gospel theology.

Christianity Today *
DANIEL SILLIMAN
SEPTEMBER 07, 2019

Benny Hinn says he is done with the prosperity gospel. But longtime observers are not ready to take his word on faith.

Hinn has been a leading proponent of prosperity gospel theology since the 1980s, teaching that God rewards active faith with health and wealth. But on September 2, during his 3-hour, 50-minute weekly broadcast, Hinn said he had changed.

“I am correcting my own theology and you need to all know it,” the televangelist told his studio audience and those watching online. “The blessings of God are not for sale. And miracles are not for sale. And prosperity is not for sale.”
Hinn said he now believes such give-to-get theology is offensive to God. He specifically repudiated the practice of asking for “seed money,” where televangelists tell people that God will bless them if they give a specific dollar amount. Hinn himself has done this numerous times, promising God will give material blessings in exchange for a gift of $1,000. On Monday, he said he wouldn’t do it anymore.
“I think giving has become such a gimmick,” Hinn said. “It’s making me sick to my stomach. And I’ve been sick for a while too. I just couldn’t say it. And now the lid is off. I’ve had it. You know why? I don’t want to get to heaven and be rebuked.”
Some of the Christians who have watched him closest, however, viewed the apparent renunciation with skepticism. While they want to be open to the possibility of true repentance, and say God could have changed Hinn’s heart, they are waiting for some evidence of his transformation.
“I think time will tell whether this is a minor correction, something for publicity, or the beginning of a new trajectory towards greater maturity,” said Charles Self, a professor of church history at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (AGTS). “I’m taking a wait-and-see perspective, because we’ve been down this road before.”

Down This Road Before

Hinn rejected the prosperity gospel for the first time in the late 1980s and again in the early ’90s, and there were reports at the time that he had really changed. He went on to preach prosperity again.
Hinn has also ventured unorthodox descriptions of the Trinity, which critics called “tritheism,” but he corrected his theology when the criticism got to be too much. He joined the Assemblies of God for a while, accepting the oversight of the Pentecostal denomination, but then separated and went back out on his own.
Hinn’s financial practices have also been investigated twice by the federal government. The US Senate launched an investigation of Hinn, along with Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Paula White, and Eddie Long in 2007. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), then chair of the Senate Finance Committee, was shocked by the lavish lifestyles of American prosperity preachers, and expressed concern the IRS wasn’t doing its job enforcing existing rules against excessive compensation for leaders of religious nonprofits.
Hinn, according to some estimates, was receiving tens of millions of dollars in donations every year. He told ABC’s Nightline in 2009 that his salary was more than $500,000 annually. An exact figure is unknown. Hinn’s televangelist organization is registered as a church, so it doesn’t report any financial information to the IRS.
The Senate investigation faced sharp criticism from a number of evangelical groups, including James Dobson’s Alliance Defense Fund (now the Alliance Defending Freedom), the National Religious Broadcasters, and Christianity Today. A CT editorial called the investigation an “oversight overstep.”
The investigation ended in 2011 with no definitive findings. Hinn’s ministry, unlike some of the others, cooperated with investigators and was praised for it. Grassley’s office said the investigation was successful, despite its lack of findings, because Hinn was “instituting reforms without waiting for the committee to complete its review.” According to the senator’s official statement, “Self-reform can be faster and more effective than government regulation.”
It is not clear whether there was any self-reform, though. Hinn’s ministry is not accountable to any outside group.
Hinn’s ministry came under investigation again in 2017. The IRS raided the televangelist’s headquarters in Grapevine, Texas. The agents had a search warrant saying there was probable cause to believe they would find evidence of tax evasion and “general fraud against the government” in the ministry’s offices.
A spokesman for the IRS told CT that the agency cannot legally confirm or deny whether that investigation is ongoing.
Neither Hinn nor his spokesman could be reached for comment on Friday.
Hinn’s nephew, Costi Hinn, who has been very critical of his uncle and of the prosperity gospel, said the big, splashy “renunciation” does fit a pattern.
“Over the years, he has consistently conceded to enough of a report or an accusation to gain enough trust—as if he’s admitting to it—to gain control over the narrative. He always wants to control the narrative,” Costi Hinn said.
It’s also not clear how thorough this renunciation is. Online at Benny Hinn Ministries, a recent article says if you praise God, you will be blessed with material rewards. “As you faithfully continue to praise God, increased blessings will start to appear in your life,” it says. “Eventually, you will no longer struggle to make the house payments nor worry about getting your lights shut off.”
Hinn also critiqued the prosperity gospel in 2018, saying it had gone too far. He later explained that he wasn’t renouncing the teaching; he only felt it needed to be clarified.
On the Monday broadcast, after saying he was correcting his theology, Hinn seemed to reiterate the substance of the prosperity gospel.
“I still believe in prosperity,” Hinn said. “The message of prosperity is in the Bible. We cannot deny that if we give, we will receive. That’s in the Bible. You can’t erase it. No way. God wants to bless his people way more than you want to receive that blessing. But you can’t put a price on it.”
Costi Hinn is hopeful, nonetheless, that the “correction” is the start of a real change for the televangelist. If the transformation is real, he said he would throw his uncle a parade. But it’s difficult to take Benny Hinn at face value. Watching the recording of Monday’s statement, Costi couldn’t help but see a performance.
“It’s very sensational,” he told CT. “When we are repenting, we’re humble. We’re very low. We’re not being sensational when we repent. We’re being broken. We’re being contrite. There was a lot of showmanship in the statement.”

Need for Accountability

Costi Hinn said one thing he would hope to see is some measure of accountability. A board of outside overseers would go far, he said, towards ensuring this change is real.
Rusty Leonard, the founder of Ministry Watch, an independent evangelical group that advocates for financial accountability and transparency, agrees.
“Maybe it’s sincere. I’m hopeful,” Leonard said. “But right now there isn’t any corroboration. I want corroboration from a leading non-prosperity gospel pastor. It would be nice if he sat down with John Piper or someone like that, and someone like that said, ‘He’s repented.’”

Lack of accountability is one of the standard critiques of the prosperity gospel, especially from classical Pentecostals like the Assemblies of God. The denomination teaches that God does miracles today; people can be healed by faith; and it is important for Christians to pray for divine intervention. But it rejects what it sees as the facile formula of prosperity teaching.
“You’ve got to have a modicum of accountability,” said Self at AGTS. “It’s not that people have to be denominational. But when they’re on their own and they’re not correctable, that’s a deep concern.”
In his broadcast, Hinn mentioned discussing his theological change with Steve Strang, the founder and CEO of Charisma Magazine. He also reported on a recent conversation with Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, and talked about praying with him. Hinn did not indicate that anyone would be overseeing any changes he might make to his ministry, though.
Leonard said he didn’t think it was likely to happen.
“I’m not cautiously optimistic,” he told CT. “That’s too strong. I’m whatever the opposite of that is—maybe I’m hopefully pessimistic.”
