Televangalist Benny Hinn's "Church" Being Raided Right Now By IRS in Dallas

[Stallion]

35. You Must Be a Youngster-Tongue Speaker Robert Tilton

Robert Tilton was, at one time, one of the most famous names in televangelism. His show, Success-N-Life, was beamed into homes throughout the nation and earned the pastor’s church millions per year during the later 1980s and early 1990s.
One of Tilton’s main tactics to get his enormous following to donate money was to ask them to send prayer requests to his ministry. He claimed he would then use his special connection to God to personally pray over the requests and increase the chance of the prayer being answered, assuming a little bit of money was sent in alongside it.
The system operated for several years until ABC’s Prime Time Live caught wind of the scam. Following investigations, they released a special named “The Apple of God’s Eye.” Among other things, it showed how the prayer requests were simply being thrown out in the trash—minus the money, of course.
