69 million is chickenfeed. Even a small city like Sandy Utah has a completely corrupt govt that spends a billion dollars on a white elephant of a, get this, a soccer stadium! How many millions are the govt officials and their buddies pocketing at taxpayer expense? I consider corrupt govt officials to be a far worse danger to the body politic than a few shyster TV ministers. No one is forcing the people to send money to a ministry. The city steals millions at gunpoint.
Amen.
The government is only upset because they aren’t getting a piece of that 69 million. I’m sure we’ll hear their solution will be regulation and taxes to pay for it.
There is certainly abuse and its sad that money is spent on luxuries when there is Gods work thats underfunded. However, how do you expect someone who can build something like this to work for pennies.
These guys know how to market, that’s for sure, but they’re no different than politicians. They keep peoples’ attention by talking while others pick their pockets for them. Both kinds of slugs have been around since the beginning of time. And for both, “reform” means only that they’ve figured out a new way to pick your pocket.
Thank you for saying that!!
When some big citizen group demands to see accountability from both U.S. Houses...is when I will be very interested.
However, mega church televangelists disturb me. They seem kind of like the "American Idols" of pastors. I hope my suspicions are unfounded and I hope God blesses such churches, but I would not join one.
Broward county just spent $70 million on a cricket stadium in a ghetto neighborhood while people are being taxed out of their homes.
Exactly!
While I agree that God wants His people rich (2 Cor. 8:9), I disagree with the doctrines usually put forth during offering time- since it usually plays on people's greed, guilt or fear.
Having said that, your assessment of politicians, WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO MINISTERS OF JUSTICE, is absolutely totally 100% perfectly accurate. Talk about throwing stones in glass houses...
