Your 100 Huntley Street Facebook posting leads
to a “page you requested was not found”.

Pretty quick erasure, if it’s gone after you’ve
just commented on it.
2 BD on Jun 16th, 2009 at 2:49 pm

There, try again.

Bene,

Thanks for this compiliation. I believe you have done a stellar job here, and appreciate your balance.

FINALLY posted on this at my blog.

I never used to notice talks of cruises to Mexico on the 100 Huntley Street program but suddenly there was a big drive on for a
Valentine Cruise to Mexico and I began to think that my husband
and I cannot afford a Mexican cruise so why should we be sending
our hard-earned $30 per month donation to the Huntley Street
ministry whose hosts were going to be enjoying such a lavish
vacation? That is when I canceled our monthly giving. The program was often an encouragment to me but when it is donor
financed, why are the hosts taking Mexican cruises? Sounds very
worldly to me, and it smells fishy.

Linda it’s nice to see people using their brains and questioning the lifestyle of the rich and famous in the Christian Ministry

How many people do the Mainse’s think they can fool with their
crocodile tears? With greed getting the best of them, they
belong in the same league as Benny Hinn and the Bakers.
