Congressman says two TV evangelists make internal reforms in wake of questions
Grassley said Monday that Joyce Meyer Ministries and one other ministry, Texas-based Benny Hinn's World Healing Center Church, had been very cooperative with his inquiry and were taking internal steps to address concerns about their financial dealings.
The two ministries have engaged in “open and honest dialogue” with the committee staff, Grassley said in a statement. “Both Joyce Meyer and Benny Hinn have indicated that they are also instituting reforms without waiting for the committee to complete its review,” he said.
Four other ministries have declined to cooperate or have provided incomplete information, Grassley said. Those are Randy and Paula White of Without Walls International Church; Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church; Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries; and Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International....
Gentlemen, just to agree with on this about these wolves in sheep's clothing. For example, Benny Hinn. (By the way, the way I mentioned the above before I found the article below.)
Galatians 1 8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.---NASB

I don't care if they have open and honest dialogue with the committee staff. Until they provide full financial accountability to the people who give them money, nothing is going to change. If you knew the tricks these ministries use that I've learned over the years, you'd think that financial transparency was not even possible.
Yes Scott, but wouldn't you agree that even if these ministries gave a "full financial accountability" their donors would continue to give to them regardless of what they do with the funds? Most of these seed/faith ministries are simply conning those who want to be conned. But, I am probably taking this issue to far as usual. In other words I agree with your entire post and am not really trying to be argumentative, just musing.
