Yes-and they pay regular taxes on those farms etc, which they do not have to because of being welfare farms. They also hire local people, or keep the ones on that were working before the church bought the farm/ranch with the exception of sometimes bringing in their own manager. Otherwise everything is kept local.
I’m not sure what your problem is, but I am sure if you do not like where you live or those you live among- you are free to move elsewhere.
I also have an idea you are not really familiar with how the church does things just your perceived ideas.
Hopefully you are comfortable/content with whatever church you are affiliated with, assuming you are.
Can you tell me how many zeros in $50 billion dollars?
You seem to assume much about me, and your very own church. When the truth is quite different.
FWIW
