1. Good work, if you can get it.
2. Sounds like a 'business', should be taxed as such.
I have absolutely NO qualms about criticizing most, if not all, of these 'made-for-TV' 'ministeries'. Joel sounds and looks a little too slick, for me. As does that slickster in Columbus or the weird bearded one that is always selling his books (has to do with 'gifts of life' or something like that).
Give me an old-fashioned Cathloic priest any day; not these 'happy-people' ministers that are only a small upgrade from a used-car salesperson.

Isn't the Catholic Church one of the largest 'businesses' (to use your word) in the world?
You are enthusisastic about Catholic priests after all the scandals they have been and are creating? I will take a used car salesman to a pedophile anyday. (None of this is particularly valid, but your comment desereved something in the same vein).

History tells me the Catholic church 'acquired' a lot of wealth during the dark ages. One of my lifelong friends, an RC, visited Notre Dame in Paris years ago. He says that is an example of the megachurch centuries ago. And as he walked around in it, he said he couldn't help but think "was all this granduer acquired honestly?". He says he doubts it.
