Baptist finds ‘heart’s desire’ in preaching gospel to detained immigrant children
Before I read the story let me posit this:
“Faith based and they’re getting Halliburton money? That’s $280 million dinero since December”.
Let’s be clear, Non-Profit doesn’t mean a certain avarice isn’t the real motivator. In fact, you can discern quite a bit from a 501c annual filing, which they must, by law, provide upon request.
In there you you will find direct compensation, bonuses, private jet use, parties and “un-reimbursed” expenses.
Un-reimbursed expenses are expenses that are a regular part of business but, not necessarily paid for by an employee or officer of an organization.
This can include wine, liquor, limos, stays at the Four Seasons, gifts, etc.
For instance, The Red Cross has annual revenues of $6 billion. The CEO is paid $2 million per year and a dump truck full of bene’s.
Now, there is nothing to say you can’t form your 501c pay yourself boxcars full of money, employ family and them similarly but, less than what you make.
That is what is going on here, under the rubrick “We are fishermen”.
That may be but, I don’t think salvation is their primary motivation.
Camoflage.
BTW, to further make the point, if they take money from the givernment they are precluded from certain speech.
No smack talk about homo’s, certain lifestyles and political issues.
