Yes vesta, hate equals dollars. Shakedown Jesse has made a very good life for himself wouldn't you agree?
Don't they all, good job to get, hard at first, all those meetings, the youth ministry, midnight calls for help from a parishioner.
Some may think these ministers have chosen a job that they will not work for. WRONG--
These people work 24/7 for their job, ----then when they find a good following, all goes to hell, they can now get volunteers to do their job, and as the money rolls in hire Choir Directives security if needed and now has just one job other then one Sunday Sermon, They now have to keep the money coming in.
Those little Churches where the people gather every Sunday, most are led by laymen, If there is a need for heat or rent, the congregation takes up a collection. These Churches where no one gets wealthy on the worshipers are to me what Christianity is all about.
I have walked into a garage used as a church in the South, the music drew me, perhaps 20 people there and we were welcome, white strange folk from the north. At least 6 people ran out to look at our license plate and a New Hampshire plate let them know we were totally ignorant and they gathered us in.
These are the Christian Churches I will go to, these are the churches I will send money to, I know the money will not be pocketed but spent on paint or choir robes.
