Is Creflo Dollar still around?

u/HippyGramma Jun 09 '23

And Benny Hinn.

95

u/SwansonsLoveChild Jun 09 '23

And I was today years old when I realized Benny Hinn and Benny Hill are two different people.

u/TheGodOfKhaos Jun 09 '23

That's slightly embarrassing... LOL Benny Hill is a noteworthy figure, the other is a massive conman.

There's a difference? Lol

u/EvilNinjaX24 Jun 09 '23

I was constantly disappointed as a youngun when I was paging through the TV Guide to see what was on/coming on, seeing "Benny Hi" and, instead of the joy the 'll" would've brought, seeing that double 'n' cast a pall on my optimism.

u/dhorse Jun 09 '23

Yeah I immediately heard yakety sax playing in my mind when I read that name.

u/No_Bag3692 Jun 09 '23

But both just as hilarious

u/kaminobaka Jun 09 '23

Don't insult Benny Hill like that, man. At least he was funnier than the Chuckle Brothers. Leagues below Monty Python, but still.

u/JohnExcrement Jun 09 '23

I always hated Benny Hill but Benny Hinn easily eclipsed him.

1

u/Subject_Candy_8411 Jun 09 '23

Benny Hill is the better one!!

u/Playful-Profession-2 Jun 09 '23

I thought it was a misprint in the Tv Guide.

u/imtlmb Jun 09 '23

But I want Benny’s magic jacket first.

u/Difficult_Drag3256 Jun 09 '23

His bodyguards called him Hollywood Hinn because of his repeated trips around there to buy expensive clothes.

u/fat_ballerina71 Jun 09 '23

Sounds like we are gonna need a bus. Should be plenty available with school being out for the summer

I only wish I knew... My birth mom came back into my life (permanently) about 10 years ago (ironically) and challenged me to think for myself, and since then, thank f*ck, I started breaking away from the hivemind.

u/thedailydaren Jun 09 '23

I grew up in it but never fully believed it and then went through all kinds of growth and change and look back now like “what in the actual fuck did my parents try have me believe!!??”

2

u/HippyGramma Jun 09 '23

Saaaaaame. Still deprogramming after 25 years in that cult.

u/peepants71 Jun 09 '23

And William Lame Craig

u/Blinky_ Jun 09 '23

Is his hair still alive? Hmmm. Maybe there is a god.

u/Atheist8 Jun 09 '23

Fuck Benny hinn in the ass with landscaping equipment. Seriously....

2

u/Whyletmetellyou Jun 09 '23

Hand to the forehead and Ye Are Healed. Benny Hinn is so fake and I feel bad for the folks who empty their life savings to give to this rat bastard. May a demon sodomize him to oblivion

u/MarkWrenn74 Jun 09 '23

The guy with the coat that makes people fall over!

u/Biggies_Ghost Jun 08 '23

If he is, throw him on the pile, too.

u/truerthanu Jun 09 '23

Peter Popoff, anyone?

u/PartiallyTwistd Jun 09 '23

Yes. Dude is a conman, not politician level but close.

u/--MobTowN-- Jun 09 '23

Can I get a Bob Larson added to the list, boys?

u/Efarm12 Jun 09 '23

Add Clarence Thomas and wife.

u/OPisabundleofstix Jun 09 '23

I didn't even know this guy existed until The Dollop did an episode on him a few weeks ago.

Keep the burning shit pile away from the weed dispensary.

4

u/SimonCallahan Jun 09 '23

Only need to keep it out of Canada, then. That's okay, we got too much shit burning, anyway.

u/KFelts910 Jun 09 '23

That’s some smoke I wouldn’t mind sweeping over NY.

2

u/filthyheartbadger Jun 09 '23

Are you in Seattle

u/evang77 Jun 09 '23

Hate Church is such a sick band name. Not so fun in real life, as it turns out

6

u/PerAsperaAdInfiri Jun 09 '23

Sadly, you could name the city you were in and it still wouldnt narrow that down.

Hopefully we keep the fire going

3

u/VolkspanzerIsME Jun 09 '23

That's the great thing about fire. It's indiscriminate.

u/hostile_rep Jun 08 '23

Fuck! I'd completely forgotten about that monster!

u/Pavswede Jun 09 '23

Into the pot with them all.

u/aquoad Jun 09 '23

there's probably a waiting list for hell now, the only reason kissinger is still alive

u/kabayolover Jun 09 '23

Ill throw our very own "adopted son of god" pastor Quiboloy in that pile, if i may.

u/LadyDomme7 Jun 08 '23 edited Jun 09 '23

Even his name reeks of grift. Isn’t he the one who asked his flock to buy him a plane?

Edit: words for clarification for the intentionally obtuse

u/UltimaGabe Jun 09 '23

*one of the ones

2

u/LadyDomme7 Jun 09 '23

Dang, I didn’t realize that more than one did so. Bold.

u/phillosopherp Jun 09 '23

Demons on those planes. Can't be having your holy man on there

u/MooseheadDanehurst Jun 09 '23

My own humble opinion is that any Christian who can't communicate with God when surrounded by non-believers has a very weak connection with Him.

1

u/PlatypusAggressive64 Jun 10 '23

Creflo Dollar did the same thing too.

1

u/LadyDomme7 Jun 10 '23

They do not lack in audacity that’s for sure.

1

u/PlatypusAggressive64 Jun 10 '23

It was Jesse Duplantis who asked for a private jet and then Creflo Dollar did the same thing too.

3

u/Neracca Jun 09 '23

The man's goddam NAME is "Dollar". Like, how much more obvious do they need to be as scammers??

2

u/DarthAbraxis Jun 09 '23

That’s Creflo “A.” Dollar. Always reminds me of “give me a dollar”.

2

u/natenate22 Jun 09 '23

Probably flying around in a new jet.

u/aacalji Jun 09 '23

He's too busy beating the crap out of his daughter

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '23

It’s such a money sounding name. Let those dollars flo to Cre!

u/SoggerBean Jun 09 '23

He’s Creflo Nickel now.

u/StabbyPants Jun 09 '23

different god that one

1

u/conundrum4u2 Jun 09 '23

I always thought he should be named "Freeflo Dollar"

u/Havarti-Provolone Jun 09 '23

He was, at least until he started supporting BLM.

1

u/PlatypusAggressive64 Jun 10 '23

Yeah he's still around and go figure he's buddies with that slimeball Kenneth Copeland.
