Benny Hinn Sued for 'Inappropriate Relationship' with Paula White
ORLANDO | Televangelist Benny Hinn is being sued by a Lake Mary publishing company for having an "inappropriate relationship" with fellow celebrity preacher Paula White, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

According to a report in Wednesday's Sentinel, Strang Communications Co. is suing Hinn over a morality clause violation in a contract.

The suit was filed Tuesday in state circuit court, the Sentinel said.

White is pastor of Without Walls International Church in Tampa and a satellite church, Without Walls Central Church in Lakeland.

The lawsuit alleges that Strang paid Hinn a $300,000 advance for his book, "Blood in the Sand," but in August 2010, Hinn acknowledged "his inappropriate relationship" with White and agreed to return the money, the Sentinel said. Strang is suing to recover the money.

7. He has no assets, and pays taxes on his salary
While religious organizations are huge fronts for tax evasion and other criminal activity, enforcement action against them is strictly off limits. If the IRS took him or one of the other shitheads down the republicans would defund the IRS.

3. If he returned the money, why are they suing to recover it?
I used to watch Benny Hinn for entertainment purposes. My friends and I were in awe of the fact that people actually believed this stuff. Never asked for any follow-up on the 'miracles' or anything. It was definitely entertaining. But in my wildest dreams I could not imagine sending money to any of these people.

So, he had an affair. I bet he's had plenty, just got caught this time.

5. My girlfriends parents live near his "compound" in Orange County

Not that any of his followers would ever be allowed inside, he also keeps his personal Gulfstream IV at the Longbeach Airport, real piece of shit. Interestingly the "flight attendants" who boarded his plane didn't look like they were there to pour coffee...
