The Petra Zone

I will no longer trust and support CRI, "The Bible Answer Man Broadcast" and Hank Hanegraaff.

This last week I notified Paul, Debbie and Victor at CRI that Hank would be speaking at a church whose pastor is a board member and guest speaker for David Cho. Hank has made his ministry and money publishing the cold hard facts about ministers and ministries, the good, the bad, the ugly. Hank has exposed David Cho and his whackiness. Evidently Hank does not care about who his sponsors associate with and is in it for the money.

I would encourage everyone to contact the BRN and express your opposition to Hank broadcasting on their stations. Hank is a hypocrite.

I've always had a guarded feeling toward Hank.

While I respect the biblical knowledge he has, there's just something about him. I can't quite put my finger on it.

One thing I've noticed is he tends to speak over people's heads at times--I'm not sure if it's intentional or not.

He also seems to direct people more toward buying his resources instead of answering their questions outright.

And finally, he doesn't always seem to speak the truth in love. He comes off as a know-it-all at times. That's just the impression I get from him. I don't always get a feeling of sincerity or humbleness from him.

Just my two cents worth.

I only had to look at one page of search results to see all sorts of bad stuff surrounding Hank. Financial scandal, bribes, sketchy pay raises, family members getting paid when they didn't do any work, etc.
My Dad writes for a counter cult ministry and has had some dealings with Hank. I think, at one point, they had a problem with Hank using a bunch of their research and claiming it was his.
I think his name alone spells trouble.
