Whenever Hyles talked about the Beatles, you were pretty much guaranteed a pearl of wisdom.
I remember hearing a sermon once where he claimed the line "keep those balalaikas ringing out" from "Back in the USSR" was something dirty.
Then there's this "They caused us to lose the only war we ever lost in the history of our nation!":

What a national treasure. America lost out when they didn't crown him emperor, let me tell you.

That clearly indicates how important it is to always tell the truth, and not embellish for sake of men's praise.
Now close your Bibles and look right up here at me . . .
Lol! He would have to preach more than 7x every day!BALAAM said:

Be good to everybody, because everybody's having a rough time.

No. But when he spoke he said this many times and you always got the idea that preaching was before some time of congregation. I think that when he got up in the morning and talked to his wife he counted that as preaching. Or if he had a staff meeting; that was preaching. I think that whenever he opened his mouth he considered it preaching. But, he has said many times that he had preached over 50,00 "sermons" or 53,000 "sermons". A little disengenuous to be sure.

This was one of the first and most ridiculous claims that Hyles made, to come up on the original FFF.
It doesn't really matter how many times he actually preached a sermon, or how he defines "sermon," or anything else: 50,000 is a ridiculously large number. It's one sermon a day, every day, for over 136 years; or, 3 a day for over 45. No Saturdays off, no Christmas break, no vacation.
As I recall, Jacky-boy's biggest sycophants just didn't have an answer for that one.
Another ridiculous claim - whether made by Hyles himself, or some other grand poobah at FBCH, I don't know - that they have one over 1 million souls in the Chicago area. This one really got the sycophants mad when we asked, "So where are the Christians?" and they couldn't answer. One million Christians would fill 10,000 churches of 100 people, or 100 churches of 10,000, or 23 churches the size of Joel Osteen's. (And of course that's in addition to all the Chicagoland Christians that Hyles and crowd don't take credit for!)
