Many moons ago in the 80s, whilst working in Israel/Palastine (the 'holy' land), there used to be a middle east tv channel for the communities of christian arabs/foreign workers etc. which would show Robinson's "700 Club".
It was hilarious and quite obvious that he was blatantly duping people to send in their money.
He would be reading out a list of people's ailments and then qive one big prayer/blessing to cure everyone at the end.... then there would be a few last minute stragglers coming through....
".....er this just in....we have a bulbous ankle........that's a bulbous ankle in Wyoming...."
A very bizarre show indeed.
Wasn't he the centre of some sexual scandal or something?
